Mad Dragon gets out of prison and marries a beautiful CEO.

Chapter 106

That night.

Ever since Chen Li left, Lu Changgeng hasn't moved from his throne, staring intently at the night outside the door, his expression shrewd and calculating. The butler waits patiently beside him, bowing low.

From the moment he first heard the name Chen Li, all the events, big and small, that occurred, combined, showed that this person was no ordinary individual.

In other words, they are the chosen ones, as the old saying goes, extraordinary.

Behind these chosen ones of destiny are powerful figures and influential people protecting them; anyone who crosses them will suffer.

Lu Changgeng has been in the martial arts world of Yuncheng for decades, outlasting one opponent after another. Is he really going to fall into the hands of a mere kid?

He swallowed his breath, feeling a lump in his throat.

I pondered all night, but still couldn't come up with a perfect solution.

Suddenly, a rooster crowed outside, startling Lu Changgeng. It was as if a sudden enlightenment had struck him, and he felt refreshed and invigorated.

Like a bride entering her bridal chamber for the first time, he laughed heartily, tapped his pipe, and sang in a long, drawn-out operatic style, impersonating Zhuge Liang waving a feather fan:

"Don't be so arrogant, you old scoundrel Sima! I have a plan to take you down! Guards!"

The butler stepped forward and said in a welcoming tone:

"Strategist Zhuge, please give the order!"

Lu Changgeng stood up and said:

"Go and sue for peace."

what?

The butler was instantly dumbfounded.

The sky had just begun to brighten.

Someone knocked on the door of the villa in Bihu Longting.

Chen Li summoned his men to the living room for a meeting to discuss countermeasures and prepare for war against Lu Changgeng. He didn't sleep all night.

Suddenly hearing a noise, they all turned to look at the door.

Ah Kun strode over, glanced at the screen in the access control system, and called out:

"Who is it?"

The other party replied:

"The steward of Master Lu of Mingyuan requests an audience with Mr. Chen."

He turned to Chen Li, who was sitting on the living room sofa, and said:

"He is the housekeeper of Mingyuan."

Upon hearing that they were Lu Changgeng's men, their tired and sleepy eyes instantly lit up, as if they had smelled prey.

Chen Li replied without hesitation:

"Let him in."

The butler entered, dressed in a dark gray suit, with snow-white sideburns, carrying a black briefcase, his gait as proper as a junior official coming to report on his duties.

He quickly scanned the crowd. The murderous aura emanating from the ruthless general made his legs weak. He walked to the center of the living room, stood still, and politely looked at Chen Li, bowing slightly.

"Mr. Chen, the former chairman asked me to deliver a message and bring some other things."

He took a brown paper envelope from his briefcase and placed it on the coffee table. He then took out a check and placed it next to the envelope. The amount on the check was not small, enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for the rest of their life.

"The former chairman said that what happened last night was done on his own by his subordinates, and he has already dealt with it."

"All the people from the East District Market have left, and no one will bother Zhuquetang's business anymore."

"This check is a compensation payment for Xiao Wu's family, and also..."

The butler paused, and seeing that his expression remained calm, he continued with relief:

"The former president said that all the land north of the Zhuquetang East District Medicinal Herbs Market will be under Miss Ye's jurisdiction from today onwards. The boundary line of the Juxian Chamber of Commerce has been redrawn, and there will be no further encroachment between the two sides."

Chen Li picked up the check, looked at it, and spoke after a few seconds:

"Looks like your husband didn't sleep all night and only came up with this much?"

The butler smiled broadly, put his hands in his pockets, and bowed slightly.

Chen Li then said:

"The knife is still stuck in your master's tea table. Go back and tell him when to pull it out, and see how he reacts."

The butler's eyelids twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He bowed slightly again:

"I will certainly convey your message. Is there anything else you require, Mr. Chen?"

"That's all."

Chen Li waved his hand outwards, as if shooing away flies.

After the housekeeper left, Ah Kun walked in through the door, still clutching the intercom, his eyes fixed on the check.

Chen Li pushed the check in front of him:

"Send it to Xiao Wu's mother; this money is enough for her retirement."

Many of his subordinates looked at the string of zeros and felt incredibly envious. Their families could eat and drink more than they could ever want in a lifetime. They longed to be dead.

This incident confirms that following Mr. Chen will bring you success.

When Ah Kun took the check, his fingers paused for a moment, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded heavily.

Chen Li stood up, stretched, and asked:

"Has Uncle Wang been found yet?"

Ah Kun was taken aback:

"Uncle Wang?"

Chen Li's Tip:

"That old minister on Ye Qinglian's side."

Ah Kun followed with two steps:

"I'll contact Miss Ye right away."

Chen Li said to his subordinates:

"The battle with Juxian Chamber of Commerce is temporarily suspended. The meeting ends here. You can all go back and rest."

Everyone left, and the villa fell silent again.

Fortunately, the steward's plea for peace came in time; any later, and Chen Li might have slammed his fist on the table and wiped out Lu Changgeng's stronghold.

The reason for giving him a way out is that we don't want a fight to the death unless absolutely necessary.

At 2 PM, Chen Li was still sleeping when Ye Qinglian called.

Her voice sounded tired, but she spoke steadily:

"Uncle Wang has been found. He was tied up overnight in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. He only has superficial injuries, nothing fatal, but he was badly frightened."

"The people who kidnapped him didn't reveal their identities; they only asked him about things inside the Vermilion Bird Hall."

"According to his analysis, they were going to kill him after questioning him. Perhaps it was because you brought a knife to Lu Changgeng that those people received the news and left him in a hurry."

Chen Li got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom:

"None of that matters anymore. Lu Changgeng sent people to express goodwill and apologize, but that doesn't mean his desire to destroy us is completely gone."

"Then why do you still believe him?"

Ye Qinglian was very puzzled.

From her perspective, she naturally hoped that Chen Li and Lu Changgeng would completely break off relations and engage in a major battle, so that her own interests could be maximized.

If Lu Changgeng recovers and turns his anger towards the Vermilion Bird Hall again, and Chen Li changes his mind, she will have a difficult time dealing with it.

She hopes for stability among the three parties, and even more so, she hopes that Lu Changgeng and Chen Li will fight.

"When did I ever say I believed him?"

Chen Li discerned her deep thoughts from her words, but did not expose them:

"His retreat is temporary, because I reached his doorstep last night, and he needs time to make arrangements."

"Don't stop what you need to do on your end. Clean up all the hidden channels in the market, and burn any old accounts related to Master Guigu. Don't leave any loose ends."

Ye Qinglian asked:

"Uncle Wang's side..."

"Keep it."

Chen Li explained:

"He was kidnapped overnight, which means Lu Changgeng has already figured him out. Killing him would only make people think too much and become disloyal. It's better to continue using him, but make sure the core information doesn't go through his hands again."

Ye Qinglian was silent for two or three seconds, then said:

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li sat in the study for a while. Sunlight slanted in through the gaps in the curtains, cutting a bright white stripe on the surface of the desk.

What was supposed to be a clear and bright morning was inexplicably ruined by a phone call from Ye Qinglian.

He dialed Ah Kun's number:

"Is there any news from Mingyuan?"

Ah Kun's voice was sleepy, as if he had just been woken up by two rings of the phone:

"Yes, a dark gray Bentley came out of the back gate of Mingyuan and headed towards the East District after going down the mountain."

"I had someone follow them for a while, but they lost track of them after we reached the territory of the Azure Dragon Hall."

"The person sitting in the car is probably not Lu Changgeng himself. There are vague figures in the back seat, but I can't see their faces clearly."
