My Ares Son-in-Law

Chen Ziyan remembered that the people who were investigating at the time mentioned that Xiao Chen had briefly worked in one of Lao She's businesses.

Although she couldn't understand why Lao She would go to such lengths for a former "employee," Lao She was always a profit-driven person, so why would he personally intervene for such an insignificant little person?

But at this moment, this seems to be the only reason that can barely be explained.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, and the pain brought her to a slightly more awake state.

She spoke in a tone that was so forced and unconvincing that even she herself couldn't convince herself.

"That Xiao Chen... I think he used to work at one of Old Snake's places..."

"Perhaps, perhaps Old Snake is just thinking of old times and came to visit his former employees... Well, that's understandable..."

Even she herself felt that these words were pale and powerless, like a light feather, unable to bear the enormous mystery before her.

She knew in her heart that the reason was definitely not that simple, but at this moment, she really couldn't think of a better explanation.

Wang Haishan, however, was like a drowning man suddenly grasping at the last straw. His eyes, which had been glazed over with fear, suddenly lit up. He nodded frantically, his head bobbing like a chicken pecking at rice, trying to calm his panicked heart.

"Yes, yes, yes! So that's how it is!"

"I knew it! How could Xunjiang Group possibly have any deep connection with Lao She? He's just a former employee who got lucky."

"How could a big shot like Old Snake go to such lengths for such a trivial character? He must only be here to go through the motions because of some meager past relationship."

As he spoke, he patted his chest, trying to appear calm, as if this would make him more convinced of the absurd explanation.

However, before he could finish his self-comforting words, they came to an abrupt halt, as if an invisible hand had suddenly grabbed his throat.

The sound of a car engine approaching from afar, like muffled thunder, abruptly interrupted his "sweet dream".

The engine sound grew clearer and louder, as if a ferocious beast was charging towards them.

Two black Hongqi sedans, like two composed gentlemen, smoothly drove into view.

Both cars have a grand and dignified appearance, with smooth and strong lines, exuding an aura of quiet authority.

In terms of model and price alone, these two cars do indeed pale in comparison to Old Snake's imposing Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

The Cullinan's massive size, luxurious interior, and exorbitant price all highlight its prestige and extraordinary nature.

While these two Hongqi cars are also quite expensive, in most people's eyes, they seem to be incomparable to the Cullinan.

However, when everyone's eyes subconsciously swept over the white license plates hanging in front of the two Hongqi cars, the entire scene instantly seemed to be under a spell, falling into an eerie stillness once again.

The air seemed to freeze; people stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

Those are... the official license plates of the ancient city!

Moreover, they are the two exclusive vehicles with extremely early serial numbers, representing the very top of the ancient city's power pyramid!

In the ancient city, such license plates are like imperial edicts from ancient emperors, possessing supreme authority.

Those who own such license plates are all influential figures in the ancient city's political arena.

Their decision could change the fate of countless people.

Their single word could influence the entire course of the ancient city's development. "No...impossible...this is absolutely impossible..."

Wang Haishan felt as if someone was choking him; his breathing suddenly became difficult, his face turned ashen, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He rubbed his eyes hard, wondering if he was hallucinating from excessive tension.

His hands trembled involuntarily, and his lips quivered incessantly, like leaves shivering in the cold wind.

"Today...wasn't there supposed to be an important meeting in the province today?"

"How...how did they get here?"

"Could it be because of the Xunjiang Group?"

"What kind of magic does this Xunjiang Group possess that could alarm such important figures?"

As he muttered to himself, the two Hongqi cars came to a steady stop.

The car door slowly opened, as if opening a door to a world of power and majesty.

Two middle-aged men in dark suits stepped out of the car one after the other. Their suits were well-tailored, with sharp lines, and every fold exuded sophistication and refinement.

The dark fabric shimmered with a calm luster under the sunlight, as if silently proclaiming their status and position.

Their demeanor was extremely calm and composed, like two towering mountains, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

One of them had his hair meticulously combed, a resolute face, and deep, sharp eyes that seemed to see through everything.

The other one was slightly overweight, but his round face exuded a gentle yet dignified air, and his every move showed the demeanor of a great general.

When those two faces, which frequently appeared in the headlines of the ancient city's news, were clearly exposed to the sunlight, Wang Haishan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if a black lightning bolt had flashed across his vision.

His mind went blank for a moment, as if a thousand mythical beasts of the grasslands were galloping through his mind, their frenzied hoofbeats crushing his last shred of hope!
It's really them!
The number one and number two figures in the ancient city's power structure!

These two are like mythical figures in the ancient city.

Every decision they make is like placing a crucial piece on the chessboard of the ancient city, determining the future development direction of the entire city.

Their mere glance seemed to carry an invisible power, capable of causing countless businesses to live or die, prosper or decline.

Normally, it would be incredibly difficult for ordinary entrepreneurs to even meet with them. They would have to go to great lengths and pull every string they could, and even then, success wouldn't be guaranteed.

And now, these two important figures, who are extremely busy and have countless important matters to deal with every day, have actually appeared at the opening ceremony of Xunjiang Group, a company that has been "blacklisted"!

This was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the crowd.

"Holy crap! What the hell is going on?! Can anyone tell me?!"

Finally, someone in the crowd couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

The voice carried a sense of utter despair, as if the sudden turn of events had struck a fatal blow.

Those around them exchanged bewildered glances, their faces filled with shock and disbelief. They looked at each other, trying to find answers in each other's eyes, but to no avail. (End of Chapter)
