You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The devastating blow to the Beijing stock market has created a huge rift within the Xiao family and the Tianqiong Group.

The group's top management was in a state of panic, and Xiao Zhen's authority was challenged like never before.

In order to stabilize morale and raise new funds to fill the hole in the stock market, the Xiao family made a decision—to hold an extremely grand charity antique auction dinner at the Wangfujing Hotel, the most prestigious hotel in Beijing.

They mobilized almost all the powerful and influential people in Beijing, as well as wealthy businessmen and celebrities from all over the country.

This was not just a charity gala, but also a "trap" for the Xiao family to demonstrate their strength and stabilize the situation.

At this moment, in the Su family compound, Lin Chen was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission: Shatter the Xiao family's plan to cut off their tail! Reward: A courtyard house in the core area of ​​Beijing (worth one billion, all legal procedures completed), all attributes +50!]

The system notification sounded in his mind, and Lin Chen's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

With all attributes increased by 50, he could clearly feel the surging power within him, and every cell in his body was full of vitality.

Moreover, a courtyard house in the heart of Beijing is more valuable than money.

He stretched, feeling a pleasant cracking sound coming from all his joints.

Just then, the Su family's butler walked over, holding a gold-embossed invitation.

"Mr. Lin, Miss."

The butler respectfully handed the invitation to Lin Chen and Su Qingge.

"It's from the Xiao family. They're inviting you and Miss Xiao to a charity antique auction gala dinner tonight at the Wangfujing Hotel."

Su Qingge took the invitation, opened it, glanced at it, and immediately frowned.

"The Feast at Hongmen".

She coldly uttered two words and handed the invitation to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen accepted the invitation, flicked it lightly with his fingers, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

He looked at the words "Xiao's Charity Gala" on the invitation and sneered inwardly.

Xiao Zhen, you really know how to play games.

"Xiao Zhen is trying to test your bottom line in front of all the powerful and influential people in the capital."

Su Qingge walked to Lin Chen's side, her tone tinged with worry.

"He wants to see if you dare to show your face and confront him directly."

"There must be a trap set up inside; we can't go there."

Lin Chen looked up at Su Qingge. She was still wearing that dark gray business suit, but at this moment, her face was full of worry.

"Go, why don't you go?"

A glint of light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. He gently closed the invitation, making a crisp sound.

"The Xiao family has set up such a grand stage; wouldn't it be disrespectful if I didn't go and cause a scene?"

Su Qingge's expression changed.

"Lin Chen, this is not the time for jokes."

"The Xiao family has been operating in the capital for over thirty years and is deeply entrenched. Their methods are far more complex than you imagine."

"They are severely weakened now, but even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone the Xiao family, this fierce tiger."

"A tiger?"

Lin Chen chuckled, stood up, walked to Su Qingge, and reached out to pinch her cheek.

"Even a tiger can't withstand a hungry wolf like me. They're in a hurry to fill the gaps and stabilize morale. This banquet is their last stand."

"Since they're struggling, I'll go and add fuel to the fire."

"But……"

Su Qingge wanted to say something, but Lin Chen interrupted her.

"No buts."

Lin Chen's eyes were firm and confident.

"Qingcheng, put on your most expensive dress tonight, and we'll teach the Xiao family what true wealth and power really mean."

As he spoke, he began to sketch out his plans for the evening.

Xiao Zhen thought he would be afraid, and that he would choose to avoid it.

But Lin Chen refused.

He wanted to appear openly and honestly at the Xiao family's banquet, so that everyone could see how the Xiao family and the Tianqiong Group were gradually heading towards the abyss in front of him.

Lin Chen had already seen through the Xiao family's three-step plan: the first step was a test. They used a dark web assassin to probe his bottom line and strength.

The second step was self-rescue. This involved transferring illicit funds in an attempt to sever ties.

The third step is to retaliate. Host a charity dinner in an attempt to stabilize the situation and use the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

However, Lin Chen precisely neutralized every step he took, and even turned the tables on him.

This dinner party will be the beginning of a nightmare for the Xiao family.

Lin Chen stuffed the invitation into his pocket, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He couldn't wait to see the interesting expressions on Xiao Zhen and Chu Tianxiong's faces at the banquet.
