Chapter 549 The Gears of Destiny

Director Li Hengcai is also a proud person. He is unwilling to be inferior to people who are less capable than him, and he can't stand the contempt of his colleagues around him. So he wrote a letter of resignation by hand and came to Chen Yangzhe.

"President, this is my resignation letter. I've had some health problems recently and I want to resign and go see a doctor." Director Li handed over his resignation letter and explained to Chen Yangzhe.

"Director Li, since it's because of illness, why don't you continue to stay in Shunyang? Shunyang can also help you reimburse the medical expenses." Chen Yangzhe was not surprised at all.

"President, thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to take advantage of Shunyang." Director Li declined without thinking.

"Well, Director Li, do you have any plans?"

"President, my son is doing very well in Hong Kong. I plan to take my wife to Hong Kong to be with my son." Li Hengcai knew that if he left Shunyang Group, he would be banned from the Korean business circle.

"Well, Director Li, you have worked really hard over the years. This is a reward for your hard work." Chen Yangzhe took out an envelope and handed it to Li Hengcai.

"Thank you, President." Director Li accepted it without any hesitation.

"Well, go ahead! If you need Shunyang in the future, just call Zheng Xinzhai."

"Thank you, President. I will definitely help if you need me."

Looking at Li Hengcai's leaving back, Chen Yangzhe's heart was filled with emotion. Since he had doubted Li Hengcai's loyalty, he would no longer keep Li Hengcai around, so he sent Li Hengcai away decisively.

After leaving Zhengxinzhai, Li Hengcai did not stay in Seoul for long. He took his wife and flew to Hong Kong. The plane landed at Hong Kong International Airport very quickly, but as soon as he got out of the exit, he was picked up by a luxury car.

The luxury car soon arrived at the Su Building in Hong Kong, and then Li Hengcai met Su Ning, the owner of Su's Eternal Capital, and said, "Master Hengjun, I'm here."

"Haha, Director Li, you have worked hard along the way." Suning was also very happy about Li Hengcai's arrival.

"Master Hengjun, I am no longer the head of the Shunyang Group's secretariat."

"Well, then I'll just call you Uncle Li." Su Ning nodded with a smile, then told Li Hengcai his plan. "I'm going to make you the head of Su's Eternal Capital's Hong Kong branch. Once I take over Shunyang Group, I'll arrange for you to return to Seoul."

"Master Hengjun, I'm not planning on returning to Seoul anymore. You should leave the Shunyang Group to Master Daojun."

"Well, that's fine too."

Su Ning knew that Li Hengcai absolutely did not want to get involved with Shunyang Group. It seemed that he was really fed up with the intrigues of Zheng Xinzhai. Thinking of the abilities Li Hengcai had acquired in Shunyang Group, it would be a good idea for him to stay in Hong Kong to manage the Su's Eternal Capital branch.

Because Chen Yangzhe had gotten rid of his physical problems, he was no longer in a hurry to find an heir. This not only made Chen Yongji anxious, but also inadvertently increased the difficulty for Chen Daojun to inherit Shunyang.

However, this era has undergone great changes. Business has irreversibly entered the financial field. Traditional manufacturing alone can no longer meet the needs of the huge Shunyang Group. In addition, Chen Yangzhe’s mind is full of tax evasion, so Chen Yangzhe also prepared to set up a financial company this year.

The September 11th incident caused an uproar in global public opinion, but it also made Suning and Chen Daojun make a fortune again. It also finally made Chen Yangzhe see Chen Daojun's ability and prepared to let Chen Daojun become the head of Shunyang Finance.

Unfortunately, the Chen family members who received this news could not accept it, and Li Bi Yu could no longer hide it. But this time she discussed it with her eldest son Chen Yongji, and finally Chen Yongji decided to use Li Bi Yu's fake painting to hire a killer. However, Chen Yongji was worried that this action was not safe, and signaled Director Jin to prepare a series of moves for Chen Daojun.

Despite Director Jin's careful planning, Chen Daojun still had a serious car accident. However, this time Chen Yangzhe was not traveling in the same car. Instead, there were only Chen Daojun and his own driver.

Just as Chen Daojun's vehicle passed a fork in the road, he saw a dilapidated pickup truck coming towards them. Chen Daojun's driver had no time to react and was hit hard by the broken car.

"Ashiba! Are you blind? Or do you not know how to drive at all?" Although the car was not seriously damaged, Chen Daojun's driver still cursed angrily.

At this time, the driver of the dilapidated truck seemed to be frightened silly. He got out of the car and looked at the scene of the accident blankly. He did not respond to the driver who was scolding him. However, Chen Daojun, who was sitting in the back seat, saw the driver of the truck and showed a shocked and complicated expression, because the driver of the truck was actually Shin Hyun-woo.

Chen Daojun hurriedly wanted to speak out to stop his angry driver, but a large truck came from behind and hit the car Chen Daojun was riding in hard, and Chen Daojun's driver was also affected and lay in a pool of blood.

Shin Hyun-woo looked at the tragic car accident scene in front of him and immediately felt regretful, but it was no use for him to regret now, and he could only go down the same path to the end.

In the end, Shin Hyun-woo tremblingly called an ambulance, but not long after he hung up the phone, he saw a medical rescue helicopter appear in the sky, and then, under Shin Hyun-woo's shocked gaze, it took away the seriously injured Chen Daojun and his driver.

Looking at the rescued Chen Daojun, Su Ning sent Chen Runji and Li Hairen away, and then said to the awakened Chen Daojun, "Daojun, do you know all the secrets now?"

"Brother, how could this happen?" Chen Daojun, who had just woken up, was still a little confused and didn't bother to notice the abnormality in his brother's words.

"Daojun, do you want to punish the murderer, or take advantage of this opportunity to take over Shunyang Group?" Suning asked the most important question.

"Brother, I want to punish the murderers. I want them to receive the punishment they deserve."

"Daojun, what about Shunyang Group?" Suning couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Brother, I will buy Shunyang Group with my own hands." Zheng Xinzhai's madness and brutality strengthened Chen Daojun's determination to acquire the company.

"Okay, when grandpa comes to beg for mercy, I will know how to answer him." Suning nodded indifferently.

"Ah? Grandpa will come to beg for mercy?" Chen Daojun was a little skeptical about Su Ning's guess.

"Yes! After all, this car accident involved grandma and uncle Chen Yongji. Grandpa will definitely be furious." If Chen Yongji was also thrown into jail, Chen Yangzhe would really have no one to use.

"Ah? Grandma? Uncle?"

"Yes! This car accident was a conspiracy between them." Looking at the confused Chen Daojun, Su Ning explained with a wry smile, and then told him about his plans, "I will be going on a business trip soon, and I have to avoid Grandpa's harassment."

"Eh? Brother, I'm causing you trouble."

"Daojun, I should be the one saying sorry. I have been keeping an eye on Zheng Xinzhai's situation. This car accident could have been avoided."

After chatting with his brother Chen Daojun for a while, Suning left the intensive care unit. However, as soon as he walked out of the ward, he saw Shen's parents and Shen Xuanyou's brother kneeling there, apologizing to Chen Runji and Li Hairen. "Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, I'm sorry! It's all our Xuanyou's fault for not being able to drive that caused this accident."

"Aunt Shen, you'd better get up! It's not Shen Xuanyou's fault for this matter." Li Hairen hurriedly helped Shen's parents up.

"Ah! Madam Chen, thank you so much for your magnanimity." Shen's mother looked at Li Hairen with gratitude.

"Aunt Shen, Daojun is out of danger now, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."

"That's great! May God bless Young Master Daojun." Mother Shen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Aunt Shen, when you go back, please tell Shen Xuanyou that I want to ask him something." At this time, Su Ning walked up to Shen's mother and said.

"Yes! Master Hyungjun, I'll have Hyunwoo look for you when I get home."

"Well, Aunt Shen, then you all should go back!"

"Goodbye, Master Hengjun! Goodbye, Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen!"

When Shen Xuanyou heard the news his mother brought back, he immediately became uneasy again. Although this matter was done very secretly, thinking of the always unfathomable Suning, Shen Xuanyou couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"Mom, did Master Hengjun tell me what it was about?" Shin Hyunwoo looked at his mother with some guilt.

"I don't know! But I think he should ask about the situation at the scene of the accident." Shen's mother also seemed a little confused.

"Ah? Didn't the truck driver die on the spot?"

"Xuanyou, such a big thing has happened. You must explain it to Master Hengjun in person, right?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll go there as soon as possible."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of his mother, Shen Xuanyou came to Su Ning with trepidation. When he saw the big boss Su Ning with a deep gaze, Shen Xuanyou immediately felt terrified, "Master Hengjun, I'm here."

"Shin Hyunwoo, why is it you?" Su Ning looked at Shin Hyunwoo with a disappointed expression. "Ah? Master Hengjun, I'm sorry!" Seeing Su Ning's disappointed expression, Shin Hyunwoo immediately panicked. "Actually, I didn't want to get into a car accident either. It might be because I didn't sleep well these past few days."

"Shin Hyun-woo, do you think I really know nothing?" Seeing that Shin Hyun-woo still had a lucky mentality, Suning said bluntly.

"Ah? Master Hengjun."

"Shin Hyun-woo, I just called the person in charge of Hengtu Bank. After a thorough investigation, I discovered your situation. I now know how bold you are to have loaned out such a large amount of money in violation of regulations."

"Master Hengjun, I was wrong! Please forgive me!" Seeing that his secrets were exposed, Shin Hyun-woo knelt down in fear.

"Shin Hyunwoo, tell me what's going on." Su Ning questioned Shin Hyunwoo in a cold voice.

"Master Hengjun, Minister Jin of Shunyang Group, who is now Director Jin of Shunyang Group, asked me to make several personal loans in violation of regulations, and he also gave me a lot of benefits." The pale-faced Shen Xuanyou stammered to explain.

"Then he brought up the illegal loan and threatened me to help him cause a minor car accident. I didn't expect the person to be Young Master Daojun, nor did I expect Director Jin to have other plans."

"Shin Hyunwoo, I thought you were so smart, you must have left some evidence, right?"

"Yes, yes! I have a recording of the phone call between me and Director Jin. After the accident, I first called for help, and then called Director Jin."

"Humph! Do you have any other evidence?"

"Ah? Yes! There are also recordings of every time I met him." Shin Hyun-woo didn't expect that Suning knew everything.

"Oh! Shin Hyun-woo, you really disappoint me." Suning couldn't help but sigh at this time.

"Master Hengjun, I'm sorry! I was wrong! Please forgive me this time." Shin Hyunwoo lowered his head in shame.

"Shin Hyun-woo, go to the police station and turn yourself in! Only in this way can you be redeemed." Looking at the somewhat ashamed Shin Hyun-woo, Suning told him his arrangements.

"Ah? Master Hengjun, if I turn myself in, my life will be over." Shin Hyunwoo widened his eyes in fear.

"Shin Hyun-woo, why didn't you think of this when you decided to operate the loan illegally?"

"Master Hengjun, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time! I really don't want to go to jail!" Shin Hyunwoo hugged Suning's thigh and begged for mercy.

"If you surrender yourself, you will definitely be forgiven by the law. After all, you are not the mastermind."

"Ah? Master Hengjun."

Suning ignored Shin Hyun-woo's pleas for mercy and repeatedly asked him to surrender. Shin Hyun-woo was not a fool and could easily tell the difference between surrendering and being arrested. He then walked into the police station in a daze.

Mother Shen soon found out what her son had done, and then stumbled to Su Ning, "Master Hengjun, our Hyunwoo is sorry for you and Master Daojun."

"Aunt Shen, in fact, Shen Xuanyou was also used by bad people. Ultimately, it is because of our Chen family's own affairs." Su Ning explained with a wry smile.

"Master Hengjun, no matter what, what Shin Hyunwoo did is a sin that deserves death."

"Aunt Shen, it's not as exaggerated as you think. Shen Xuanyou can only be considered an unwitting accomplice. His crime is not that serious."

"Master Hengjun, is this true?"

"Really! I doubt it will even be three years. I'll talk to the judges I'm familiar with and try to get a lighter sentence for Shin Hyun-woo."

"Thank you! Master Hengjun, you are truly a great benefactor to our Shen family."

This accident was easy to investigate. The police and the procuratorate quickly noticed the fake painting and targeted Li Biyu. Now with Shin Hyun-woo's surrender and confession, the truth of the case was revealed.

Chen Yangzhe did not expect that his wife and eldest son would be so bold. Thinking that his second son Chen Dongji was no longer around and his eldest grandson Chen Xingjun was also thrown into prison, he really could not turn a blind eye to his eldest son Chen Yongji, so he could only use his connections everywhere to suppress the case.

Although the Shunyang Group has many legitimate thugs, because Suning is now the influential mayor of Seoul, Chen Yangzhe can't fulfill his wish for the time being. In the end, he called President Jin, the leader of the Democratic Party, and asked, "President Jin, can you think of a way to suppress this matter?"

"Chairman Chen, I really want to help you suppress it, but it's difficult to get a response from Mayor Chen! I suggest you negotiate with Mayor Chen in person." President Jin's helpless voice came from the phone.

"President Jin, do you really have no other choice?" Chen Yangzhe was still unwilling to give up, because he knew what price he would have to pay to ask Suning for help.

"President Chen, I really can't do anything, but I suggest you do it as soon as possible. Mayor Chen is going on a business trip abroad tomorrow. I'm worried that by the time he returns, the case will have already been decided."

"President Jin, thank you for your reminder."

After Chen Yangzhe hung up the phone with President Jin, he suddenly looked much older and felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He then stood up tremblingly and arranged for the driver to take him to Suning's home.

"Ding dong! Ding dong!"

Pei Zhuxuan heard the doorbell ring, and got up to open the door with some confusion. Then she saw Chen Yangzhe standing alone outside the door. "Grandpa, why did you come here suddenly?"

"Joo Hyun, is Hyung Jun at home?" Chen Yangzhe looked at his granddaughter-in-law with a forced smile.

"Yes! He is playing with Xiang Rong and Xiang Hui." Pei Zhuxuan quickly let Chen Yangzhe into the room.

Chen Yangzhe looked at his grandson playing with his children, and his heart suddenly became very complicated. He thought that Suning was the ultimate winner in life, and then he couldn't help but realize that he was really old.

"Grandpa, you're here?" Chen Hengjun quickly stood up and looked at Chen Yangzhe with a smile, then said to his two children, "Xiang Rong, Xiang Hui, come and call me great-grandpa."

"Hello, Great Grandpa!" the two children called out in baby voices.

"Well, hello!"

"You guys go play somewhere else! I'll chat with your grandpa." Suning smiled and sent the two children away.

Su Ning brought Chen Yangzhe to his study. As soon as Chen Yangzhe sat down, he looked around and suddenly said to Su Ning with emotion, "Hengjun! The place you live in is too small. You should move to a bigger villa."

"Grandpa, I feel like this is home." Suning feels that such a close-knit family is more cozy.

"The feeling of home?" Chen Yangzhe looked at his grandson in surprise.

"Yes! Home should be warm."

"A warm home? Zhengxinzhai has long lost its warmth." After hearing Su Ning's explanation, Chen Yangzhe suddenly felt a little sad. Then he looked at Su Ning with all his strength, "Hengjun, you should know why I came here this time, right?"

"Grandpa, I'm sorry! I have already asked Daojun, and this time some people must be punished by the law." Su Ning shook his head and refused Chen Yangzhe.

"Haha, I will hand over the entire Shunyang Group to Daojun to inherit." Chen Yangzhe didn't care about Suning's refusal because he had not yet told him the compensation he would offer.

"Grandpa, Dojun said he would buy Soonyang himself."

"Hengjun, why are you doing this? You two brothers should give me some face!" Chen Yangzhe knew that the two Suning brothers had this ability, and he could only look at Suning with a wry smile on his face.

"Grandpa, it's grandma and uncle who don't give you face. You should go find them now." Suning thought Li Biyu and Chen Yongji were going too far.

"Chen Hengjun, I have never begged anyone in my life, even if it is me, Chen Yangzhe, who is begging you this time."

"This..." Looking at the trembling old man in front of him, Su Ning couldn't help but hesitate.

"Chen Hengjun, I believe you can persuade Chen Daojun."
