The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 182 How come you're so rich?

After Tang Yuan left, Lin Chen was about to go upstairs to call Lu Siqi down for dinner when he heard the sound of the upstairs door opening.

Lu Siqi was already dressed and ready. She had just received a message from Hua Xu that Yu Yang had agreed to send some goods first so that she, as his sugar daddy, could check their purity. She was worried about her informant in Hong Kong, so she decided to go there herself.

“I need to go back to Beicheng.” Lu Siqi walked up to him and didn’t mention the video again. “I’ll probably be back in two days.”

To Lin Chen, her tone sounded like she was just giving him a routine notification, that she was leaving regardless of his agreement.

"Don't come back once you leave." Perhaps he was really tired during this time, and Lin Chen didn't want to fawn over her like a lapdog anymore. "The matter here in Xishan is very likely to involve Huaxi Group. I will have Gu Shi send someone over to handle it."

After saying that, he didn't even look at the woman in front of him again, brushed past her, and walked straight towards the stairwell.

After taking a few steps, Lin Chen turned back and handed his phone to her, saying expressionlessly, "I've already deleted the video. Do you want me to check if I have a backup?"

"No need, I'm in a hurry." Lu Siqi didn't even answer the call and turned to walk towards the door.

Seeing her inconsistent reactions, Lin Chen tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

It wasn't until the sound of the door closing behind him that Lin Chen gripped his phone tightly and turned around. Through the glass door, he watched Lu Siqi almost reach the courtyard gate, and his anger instantly reached its peak.

Even though his anger burned fiercely this time, he did not go out to stop Lu Siqi again.

A forced relationship won't be happy, and there's no point in stopping her.

Recalling the docile look in her eyes when she looked at Sheng Huai'an in Beicheng, her inherently stubborn personality, and the sudden clarity in her eyes after their intimacy, there was no doubt that even with a knife to her throat, she would still choose to marry Sheng Huai'an.

Lin Chen no longer wants to let any woman control his thoughts, nor does he want to be controlled by anyone, because he has had enough of being humble for so long!

He had never compromised for anyone since he was a child, but for Lu Siqi, he lowered his bottom line again and again.

In fact, he never intended to threaten Lu Siqi when he recorded those videos; he only occasionally looked at them when he missed her.

However, Lu Siqi's gaze, which looked at him as if he were "trash," truly stung his heart.

Looking at Sheng Huai'an is like looking at an idol, but looking at him is like looking at trash...

Ha ha……

Lin Chen raised the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating smile, his temples starting to throb again. He rubbed them as he walked upstairs, opened the door and saw the tidy bedroom, and the dried dark stain in front of the dressing mirror. Scenes of his lovemaking with Lu Siqi just now replayed in his mind.

He walked out and slammed the door shut; he had had enough of thinking about that woman.

He had no desire to stay in this shabby place any longer, so he left and checked into a nearby five-star hotel.

……

Lin Chen was woken up by his phone vibrating after sleeping for less than two hours.

The Lin family called to say that Grandpa's condition had suddenly worsened, and to prevent him from having any regrets, they told him to return to Hong Kong first.

“Your grandfather’s condition deteriorated too quickly this time, and he has to be hospitalized again. After all, the hospital has complete medical facilities and can provide emergency treatment at any time.” Meng Xianjin’s voice was slightly choked as she said this. “Xiang Nan also said that we need to be mentally prepared. Your grandfather might…” “I’ll rush back tonight.” Lin Chen got out of bed and dressed, not forgetting to tell his mother: “Don’t arrange any hospital for grandfather before I get back. We’ll arrange everything when I get back.”

Because at the moment, he doesn't trust anywhere other than the Lin family.

Shang Junmo said that Hua Dongchen's side will be making big moves soon, and they have already found assassins overseas.

After ending the phone call with his mother, Lin Chen went to the police station where Duanzi was being held.

This time, Director Meng Jinshan gave him a warm welcome, offering him tea and bowing repeatedly, which really annoyed Lin Chen.

“I need to take Duan Qiang with me for a few days. I’m worried about leaving him here alone.” Looking at Sun Wei standing outside, Lin Chen said to Meng Jinshan, “Sun Wei is more suitable to be the bureau chief than you.”

While Meng Jinshan was still surprised after hearing this, Lin Chen handed him a stamped document announcing a change of position. "Sun Wei is now the director. Everyone in your police station must obey his orders. Duan Qiang's case will also be handled by him in conjunction with Captain Tang of the Criminal Investigation Brigade."

Upon receiving the job change notice and seeing that Sun Wei had indeed been added to the director's column, Meng Jinshan's legs went weak. Even though he was filled with resentment, he dared not vent it, because the stamp on the document clearly belonged to the Beicheng Special Zone.

Although it was a fax printout, he had just received a phone call that revealed not only the man's true identity but also that the Special Economic Zone had sent people to investigate the case of many elderly people at Xishan Bank "selling their savings into wealth management products."

With the Special Administrative Region already involved, who would dare to "go against the grain" at this time?
Meng Jinshan tactfully announced the job change in front of Lin Chen. To his surprise, apart from him, no one else in the police station was surprised to hear that Sun Wei had been promoted to director. Instead, they cheered and applauded for Sun Wei.

Is this what they call "what the people want"?
Meng Jinshan still didn't understand what it was about Sun Wei, this stubborn old man, that made him worthy of these people's appreciation.
“He is cleaner than any of you.” After saying this in front of everyone, Lin Chen walked up to Sun Wei, who was still in a daze. “I’m entrusting Duan Qiang’s case to you. I’ll take Duan Qiang away for a few days and then return him to you personally after I’m done.”

Sun Wei naturally believed him and understood that he took Duan Qiang away because he was worried that someone would retaliate against Duan Qiang during this period.

Just as he said that day, "It's time for the sky over the Western Hills to change."

The situation has just changed, and all sorts of "demons and monsters" can be brought out.

……

7 hours later.

Duanzi and Lin Chen landed at Hong Kong International Airport on a private jet.

It was Duanzi's first time on a private jet, and he was curious about everything, especially his true identity as "Brother Sen."

I knew he was rich, but I didn't expect him to be this extravagant, which really piqued my curiosity.

As soon as he got off the plane, he chased after Lin Chen and asked, "Brother Sen, what do you do? How come you're so rich?"

Lin Chen was worried about his grandfather's health, so he called Zhou Xiangnan after getting on the shuttle bus.

While talking to Zhou Xiangnan, I caught a glimpse of Lu Siqi and Sheng Huai'an sitting on another shuttle bus...

At first glance, he thought he was seeing things, but Duanzi kept pointing and saying, "Isn't that Xiaoqi? Brother Sen, look! Isn't that Xiaoqi? She looks so much like her!"

Lin Chen gave a cold, sarcastic snort.

Where is the resemblance? It's clearly her.
