My Ares Son-in-Law

Chen Yanhe narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly lost in a moment of reminiscence, a complex emotion flashing in his deep eyes.

A moment later, as if he had suddenly remembered something, a look of realization appeared on his face. However, that realization was quickly replaced by disdain. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a hint of contempt, "Oh, right, how could I forget that old matter?"

"Back then, you pursued the War God King, who was still the War God of the Dragon Kingdom, with all your heart. I saw your persistence and enthusiasm."

"It's a pity that you were rejected in the end. It really made you depressed for a while."

"But don't worry, the God of War is dead. We have reliable intelligence sources, and the information is absolutely dependable."

"This young man named Xiao Chen, judging from his temperament, style of doing things, and other aspects, is definitely not the War God King. He can't cause any trouble, so you don't need to care about him!"

Don't let a stranger affect your mood and life.

He waved his hand gently, as if to sweep away the unpleasant memories and the worries before him.

Changing the subject, he returned to the main point, his eyes sharpening, and with a judgment based on past knowledge, he slowly said, "As for the current Xunjiang Group, there's definitely more to it than meets the eye."

"My initial assessment is that this Xiao Chen is very likely just a puppet pushed to the forefront, a decoy!"

"Think about it, how could a young man like him possibly have achieved such a rapid rise, such a wide-ranging and complex business layout?"

"There must be a more powerful force or a sophisticated team behind him operating all of this."

"They pushed Xiao Chen out to attract everyone's attention, while the real mastermind was secretly manipulating everything to achieve their ulterior motives."

Before he could finish speaking, his personal cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated, the buzzing sound particularly jarring in the quiet conference room.

Chen Yanhe immediately glanced at his phone screen, which displayed an important number. He knew this number all too well; every call from it could bring crucial information.

He immediately gestured to everyone to pause the meeting, then quickly picked up his phone and walked steadily to the floor-to-ceiling window of the conference room to answer it.

He stood by the window, his back to everyone. Although his expression couldn't be seen, his slightly forward-leaning posture and the occasional low responses conveyed the importance of the information coming from the other end of the phone.

About a minute later, Chen Yanhe slowly walked back. His steps were much lighter than before, and the solemn expression on his face had eased considerably, even showing a hint of a relieved smile.

He sat back down, looked around at everyone, cleared his throat, and announced loudly, "Breaking news! We've basically figured it out!"

"The person who supported Xiao Chen and helped him build the management framework of Xunjiang Group was Liu Jianming of Jianming Group!"

"This Liu Jianming is a cunning old fox in the business world, and his methods have always been ruthless. It seems that he has some ulterior motive for interfering in the affairs of Xunjiang Group this time."

"But now that we know who's behind it all, we can start to investigate and respond in a more targeted manner."

"Hmph, I remember it clearly. Didn't this Liu Jianming recently get a terminal illness? He became so thin that he was unrecognizable, and he walked unsteadily, as if a gust of wind could blow him over. Was he about to die?"

"How come you've suddenly come out of nowhere again, all lively and causing trouble?"

Chen Yanhe tilted his head slightly, a clear sneer on his lips, his eyes full of disdain and contempt: "Looks like he's gone mad from his illness, his brain isn't clear anymore, he even dares to touch a name like 'Xunjiang Group'." "That name sounds ominous, as if it carries some kind of ominous omen."

"And another thing, the War God King left behind a huge mess, and he actually dared to take it over!"

"They're really courting death. They don't even know their own limitations before wading into this mess."

After saying that, he gently patted his clothes, as if to brush away the bad luck he had picked up from mentioning Liu Jianming, and then sat back down in the main seat.

The large and comfortable chair in the main seat symbolized his absolute authority in the Chen family.

After he sat down, his posture was upright, and the confidence and arrogance of the Chen family patriarch were restored in his eyes. It was an aura that had been cultivated over many years and emanated from within: "Since it is only Liu Jianming behind him, then things are much simpler."

"Liu Jianming does have some influence in the ancient city. He has been working in the business world for many years and has accumulated some connections and resources, but that is not enough to shake our Chen family."

“Our Chen family has been rooted in the ancient city for many years and has a profound heritage. How could Liu Jianming easily challenge us?”

"It's even less enough to challenge the agreement from back then!"

"The rules that all the major families established back then are not something he can break at will."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, the scene of the Xunjiang Group's opening tomorrow flashing through his mind, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "I want to see how many blind fools will dare to show their support when the Xunjiang Group opens tomorrow!"

"Looking at the entire ancient city business district, anyone with a brain knows how to make the right choice."

"Whether you follow the Chen family and share in wealth and glory, or wade into the muddy waters of the Jiang Group and end up disgraced, I believe everyone knows the answer."

……

Meanwhile, another top-tier luxury residential area in the ancient city.

The environment here is tranquil and elegant, and each mansion is like a mysterious castle hidden among green trees and flowers.

Zhou Fenfang sat gracefully in the spacious and bright study. The study was decorated in a luxurious yet tasteful style, with bookshelves filled with various precious books and works of art.

She wore a gorgeous silk nightgown, the soft material clinging to her body and highlighting her nobility and elegance.

Beside her sat a cup of steaming premium black tea, the rising steam carrying a delicate aroma that filled the air.

She slightly raised the teacup, took a small sip, and then put the teacup down, her eyes revealing a hint of wisdom and composure.

She naturally received the news about Xunjiang Group immediately. This news was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in her heart.

She frowned slightly, pondering the various possibilities behind the Xunjiang Group and how this suddenly emerging group would affect the situation in the ancient city.

Recalling yesterday in that luxurious yet somewhat eerie villa, the moment Xiao Chen appeared in her sight, it felt as if the temperature in the entire space suddenly dropped several degrees. (End of Chapter)
