My Ares Son-in-Law

"Our Zhao family alone cannot swallow up the Ami Group." Zhao Liangren's voice was hoarse and low, with a bit of helplessness and bitterness.

"Although our Zhao family has been struggling in Haidong for many years and has accumulated some connections and wealth, and has a certain foundation, it is nothing compared to the Amei Group. A snake trying to swallow an elephant will eventually die."

He stopped and looked out the window at the prosperous yet crisis-ridden city scene, his eyes full of confusion and worry, as if he had already seen the catastrophic disaster that the Zhao family might face if they acted rashly.

Xiao Chen watched Zhao Liangren's every move, with an unfathomable smile on his lips. That smile was like a cold star twinkling in the night sky, mysterious and dangerous. "It's not just your Zhao family that wants to swallow up the Amei Group." He said lightly, his voice was not loud, but it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves.

When Mr. Zhao heard this, his originally dull eyes suddenly lit up, like a person who had been wandering in the darkness for a long time suddenly saw the light of dawn. He turned around abruptly and walked quickly to Xiao Chen, his body trembling slightly with excitement, his face full of eagerness and expectation.

"Is the Li family also involved?" He blurted out, his voice a little distorted due to excitement, his eyes flashing with a fiery light, as if he had seen the hope of the Zhao family's rise in this business game.

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, his movements concise and powerful, and confirmed: "Li Haojie, the head of the Li family, has reached a cooperation agreement with me." His tone was calm, as if this was just an ordinary move in the entire huge chess game, but it caused a huge wave in Zhao Liangren's heart.

When Mr. Zhao heard the news, he felt mixed emotions.

A grand picture of the redivision of the business landscape quickly emerged in his mind: If the Zhao family participated in destroying the Amei Group, relying on the strong alliance with the Li family and its own strength accumulated over the years, plus the support of the mysterious power behind Xiao Chen, the Zhao family would most likely become the biggest beneficiary of this business transformation.

Not only can he obtain the coveted high-quality assets under the Aramco Group, but he can also take this opportunity to leap to the top of the Haidong business world, completely get rid of the depressed situation of being suppressed by the Aramco Group, and become a true business overlord.

However, if the Zhao family does not participate, the Amei Group's industry will inevitably be divided up by other covetous forces. After obtaining the rich resources of the Amei Group, those emerging forces will grow rapidly like mushrooms after rain, replacing the Amei Group and becoming a strong competitor on the Zhao family's future development path.

When he thought of this, Zhao Liangren couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He seemed to have seen the terrible scenario in the future where the Zhao family would have a hard time in the business world, be pressed step by step by new forces, and might even be squeezed out of the core business circle.

However, even though his heart was already overwhelmed by the huge temptation and potential crisis, Zhao Liangren was, after all, a veteran in the business world. He took a deep breath, tried to calm his pounding heart, suppressed his inner excitement, and remained calm.

He sat back on the sofa, tapping the armrests with his fingers in a rhythmic sound, as if he was sorting out his confused thoughts and finding direction.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Liangren raised his head and stared at Xiao Chen with a hint of scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes.

"I know that Mr. Xiao is an excellent doctor and is well-known in Haidong," he said slowly, with a hint of tentativeness in his tone, as if he was carefully touching a sensitive topic. "But with this alone, you can't destroy the Amei Group, Mr. Xiao. Don't blame me for thinking too much. I suspect that you want to use us to destroy the Amei Group and get something for nothing, right?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing every change in Xiao Chen's expression, trying to find the answer to the mystery in his heart from his reaction. The air in the room seemed to solidify at this moment, and the tense atmosphere was about to break out.

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth slightly lifted up, outlining a faint smile. There was a hint of teasing in that smile, as well as an understanding of everything.

"Master Zhao is really cautious..." His voice was low and mellow, like the hum of a cello, echoing slowly in the slightly dull and depressing room. Every word seemed to be wrapped in an invisible force that made the air tremble slightly.

In an instant, an incredible scene occurred. Xiao Chen was sitting steadily on the sofa, but his figure seemed to be blown away by an invisible wind and disappeared in an instant. The dent left on the sofa seemed to still prove his existence just now, but there was no trace of him in front of him.

The pupils of Zhao Liangren and Zhao Chunhua suddenly contracted, and their faces were filled with fear and confusion. Before they could recover from this sudden change, Xiao Chen had appeared behind Zhao Liangren like a ghost. His movements were as light as a ghost in the dark night, without a sound, and only a slight ripple in the air proved that he had just moved.

He slowly raised a finger and casually placed it on the back of Zhao Liangren's heart. At this moment, the slender finger seemed like a hanging sharp blade, emitting a chilling aura.

"So, Master Zhao, do you think I'm qualified?" Xiao Chen's voice sounded again, and his warm breath gently brushed Zhao Liangren's ears, like the whisper of a devil. Although the voice was light, it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhao Liangren's heart hard.

Zhao Liangren froze in an instant, his body seemed frozen, unable to move. His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, his face was full of shock and fear, his lips trembled slightly uncontrollably, he wanted to speak, but found that his throat was so dry that he couldn't make any sound.

Zhao Chunhua was also completely stunned. His mouth was wide open and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Chen. In addition to horror, his eyes also showed deep fear, as if the person standing in front of him was not a human but a demon from hell.

As the helmsman of the Zhao family, Zhao Liangren is one of the top three masters in the Zhao family. On weekdays, he is very influential in the Haidong business community and has a high prestige. He is respected wherever he goes.

However, at this moment, in front of Xiao Chen, he deeply felt his own insignificance and powerlessness. The deep sense of frustration was like a surging tide, completely drowning him.

He didn't even notice how Xiao Chen approached him, but his body had completely lost the ability to resist, as if it was restrained by an invisible force.

Recalling the time when Xiao Chen easily defeated Zhao Chunhua's bodyguard, Zhao Chunhua already knew that Xiao Chen was very powerful. But even so, the scene before him was far beyond his imagination, giving him a new and more terrifying understanding of Xiao Chen's strength. (End of this chapter)
