My Ares Son-in-Law

Because the headline of that news push was a shocking line of large characters, like a sharp blade piercing straight into her heart:
Breaking News! Nanlai Group Restructures and Renames Itself Xunjiang Group! Will This Cause Another Wave in the Ancient City Business District?

Xunjiang Group!

These four words were like four heavy bombs, constantly exploding in her mind.

Others may not be able to see the clues behind this, just like looking at flowers through the fog, only seeing the surface prosperity but not the deeper meaning behind it.

But Yun Yuyan knew Jiang Meng. Searching for Jiang, searching for Jiang, echoed in her heart again and again. Wasn't this clearly a declaration of searching for Jiang Meng?
"Could it be... just a coincidence?"

Yun Yuyan's voice trembled slightly, like a leaf swaying in the cold wind, carrying a hint of helplessness and fear.

She bit her lip tightly, clinging to the last shred of hope, and muttered to herself.

She couldn't believe it was true, because what was involved was truly terrifying.

If this isn't a coincidence, it means there's an invisible hand manipulating everything from behind the scenes, and Jiang Meng is very likely the target that hand wants to catch.

Just then, Zhou Keying walked over with light steps.

She clearly saw the mess on the ground and Yun Yuyan's distraught appearance, and her steps faltered slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

She was also holding a phone, the screen displaying the same news.

Unlike Yun Yuyan's panic, Zhou Keying's beautiful eyes shone with a strange brilliance, like mysterious stars twinkling in the night sky.

A meaningful, sexy, and somewhat inquisitive smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if she had seen through everything behind it all, yet did not want to immediately unveil that mysterious veil.

"I just checked, and it's confirmed. It's not a coincidence."

Zhou Keying's voice, like a cold flash of lightning across the night sky, rang out clearly and calmly in the somewhat oppressive room.

Her gaze slowly shifted to the closed door of Xiao Chen's bedroom. Her eyes seemed to possess a magical penetrating power, as if they could pierce through the heavy door and see into the empty room.

"The Xunjiang Group even specifically noted on its bulletin board that the name was chosen in search of the former business tycoon Jiang Meng..."

Zhou Keying's voice was unhurried, each word like a carefully crafted gem, clearly reaching Yun Yuyan's ears.

She tilted her head slightly, as if recalling the key information she had just seen on her phone screen. Her earnest expression made it impossible not to believe every word she said.

She paused, as if deliberately creating a moment of pause in the tense atmosphere, giving Yun Yuyan enough time to digest this astonishing news.

Then, she said, word by word, with an undeniable firmness in her voice: "According to the business registration information, the legal representative of this Xin Xun Jiang Group is named Xiao Chen."

"Xiao Chen?"

"Is it the Xiao Chen we know, or the War God King Xiao Chen?"

Yun Yuyan was as if struck by lightning, instantly snapping out of her shock, only to be enveloped by new doubts.

Her eyes were wide open, like the eyes of two startled fawns, filled with astonishment and disbelief.

She suddenly stood up, her hands clenching involuntarily, her nails turning white from the force.

“Judging from his age, he should be the Xiao Chen we know.” Zhou Keying shook her head slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

She turned her gaze back to the phone screen, as if trying to find more clues about Xiao Chen.

Zhou Keying's slender fingers, like those of a graceful dancer, lightly traced the glaring news headlines on her phone screen. Her fingertips carried a subtle, almost imperceptible coolness, as if this coolness could also convey the complex emotions she felt at that moment.

She slowly raised her eyes, which seemed to hold the misty rain of Jiangnan yet were as sharp as stars. Those eyes contained both the gentle tenderness of the Jiangnan water towns and the sharp light that saw through everything.

Her gaze pierced through the somewhat murky air in the living room and landed steadily on the tightly closed bedroom door that belonged to Xiao Chen.

The corners of her lips involuntarily curved into a captivating smile, a smile that was both sexy and playful, as if she were anticipating something; deeper still, there was an indescribable, complex expectation, as if she had already sensed a series of unusual events that were about to unfold.

"Is this guy... trying to shock my family in this way?"

"But what is his relationship with Jiang Meng, and why is he looking for the wife of the God of War?"

She was quite confused, her brows furrowed tightly together like an unsolvable knot.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, because she didn't know that this Xiao Chen was the same Xiao Chen as the other Xiao Chen. In her eyes, there seemed to be an insurmountable chasm between the two Xiao Chens, and everything that was happening at this moment was like a huge mystery, tightly enveloping her.

However, amidst the excitement, a chilling sense of reality surged into Zhou Keying's heart like a tidal wave, instantly extinguishing her newly ignited passion.

She frowned slightly, her once relaxed brows now furrowed into a small knot, her eyes revealing deep worry.

"Is his strength truly sufficient to justify such blatant provocation?"

She murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly.

In her view, what does simply registering a company and choosing a name really mean?

The world is far more complex than we imagine. Those deeply entrenched forces are like giant beasts lurking in the darkness, enormous and dangerous.

They control countless resources and connections, and have an intricate network of relationships. Every move they make can have far-reaching consequences.

In contrast, Xiao Chen's behavior might seem more like a child's tantrum, fragile and vulnerable in the face of powerful forces, as if a gentle breeze could blow it away.

“But… ‘Xunjiang Group’…”

These four words seemed to possess magical power, like a boulder thrown into the lake of Zhou Keying's heart, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

Her gaze became complex, a mixture of curiosity about the unknown and wariness of potential danger.

"The name itself is very interesting."

"Many people have forgotten about the God of War King, and some even dare to target his wife's businesses. Is this a threatening letter...?"

She muttered to herself, various possibilities constantly surfacing in her mind.

Perhaps Xiao Chen wanted to use this method to warn those who coveted Jiang Meng's business; or perhaps, there was a deeper conspiracy and purpose hidden behind it.

She slowly turned her head to look at Yun Yuyan, who was still in shock beside her. (End of Chapter)
