Cao Lin's face flushed red, and he could only utter one sentence:

"Because... the wooden bundle is important."

"Commander Wei recently signed a large number of contracts with multinational corporations, which are of great significance to Longmen's development. Duanlong Group is connected to one of these large corporations. If they encounter a public opinion crisis at this time, external investors will surely exploit this issue. This will-"

"It will make Commander Wei's efforts go to waste."

The man who had fallen to the wall knelt on the ground, looking helplessly at the silent girl.

"Please... Officer Chen."

He pleaded humbly and humbly, "I promise, afterward... after the contract between Duanlong Group and that large group ends, I will definitely settle the score with interest. So at least for now... please don't do this."

"Just think of it as... for Longmen."

The man roared at the top of his lungs, "Isn't everything you insist on doing all for Longmen?"

Cao Lin looked down at his uncle, feeling an immense sadness in his heart.

But Chen didn't, he just... sneered.

"Watching the moon."

"Ok?"

"Can I ask you to do me one last favor?" she said calmly.

"The last one?" Guan Yueli raised an eyebrow. "No need. I'm in a good mood right now. Just consider it a gift for you."

Chen didn't think much about it and just nodded.

"So, Xiao Chen, what's your reason for asking me for help this time?" The woman looked at the girl who walked to her side with a smile.

Chen opened the door and curled his lips.

The fire burning in his eyes was so cold.

"Of course... for Longmen."

Chapter 119 - Before the Trial

"It's so high..."

Standing at the foot of the Duanmu Group's headquarters building, Guan Yueli looked up, ignoring the gazes cast at him from the passing crowd, and said with emotion:

"Xiao Luo's company isn't even this big. It's only comparable to the wealth of the two sisters, Nuanqing and Shuangyu."

She pointed her index finger and thumb at the building and closed one eye, as if to measure its height.

After a long moment, the woman shook her head and sighed, "Times have really changed so quickly. I don't know when it started, but houses can be built as high as mountains."

Chen stood beside Guan Yueli, and like her, he looked up at the building that reached into the sky.

These towering buildings have built up the dream and prosperity of Longmen, making Longmen’s promises to the outside world no longer just promises, but real facts.

Therefore, countless people flock to this rising city. They come from far away places, across the vast wilderness, to pursue their dreams and build a bright future for Longmen together.

And at this moment, all of this seemed so ironic in Chen's eyes.

Really ironic.

"Let's go, Moon Watching."

Chen calmly walked towards the door: "Let's go meet the chairman."

Guan Yueli put his hands into his sleeves, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Just to see him?"

"See him first, then we'll talk."

It was lunchtime and there was a lot of traffic. Office workers subconsciously stared at the leisurely-looking cherry-haired woman, but then backed away from the cold aura of the girl next to her.

Security guards certainly don't just sit there and wait for work, but working for a large company like this isn't just for fun. For a security guard, eyesight is more important than anything else.

These two women, one big and one small, looked like people they couldn't afford to offend.

The two security guards looked at each other, put their batons back into their waists, and said respectfully:

"Excuse me, both of you..."

"I'm here to see your chairman, Mu Shu." Chen's tone was calm.

"this."

Coming up right away to find a boss who couldn't even lick his heels was obviously beyond the scope of the two security guards' job.

But the front desk clerk reacted quickly. A woman in uniform walked quickly towards Chen and Guan Yueli. Judging from her posture and expression, she was probably not just a receptionist. Perhaps she was a director.

"Miss, I just heard what you said." Her voice was gentle, with just the right amount of politeness, and her standard business smile was not likely to make people feel disgusted. "Well, could you two please go to the VIP room and rest for a while? We will help you-"

"No need." Chen interrupted her. "I want to see him now. Now."

The smile on the woman's face remained unchanged, but her eyes moved slightly, shifting her gaze to Guan Yueli.

Having seen countless people, she naturally saw at a glance that the young girl in front of her so arrogantly and directly named the chairman's reliance was the woman beside her.

Or rather... Actually, you don't need any eyesight to see this.

From the time the director was born until now, he had never seen any woman who could be compared with this woman. No matter from which aspect, this Eastern woman in kimono was purely and unparalleledly beautiful.

"This... lady."

Ignoring Chen, the director smiled and said, "I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself to you yet. My name is—"

Guan Yueli, like Chen, interrupted others rudely.

Well...it's just that Chen was in a hurry, and Guan Yueli was really rude.

"You don't have to look at me." She said with a smile, "The girl you are talking to has the final say."

Generally speaking, if someone dared to cause trouble like this, they would have been carried out by security guards with sticks. But these two people just came in casually without a car or bodyguards and said they wanted to see the chairman. No matter how capable they looked, they would not be allowed to continue their presumptuous behavior.

But the director hesitated at this time, because the grace and nobility of the Eastern woman were beyond common sense, and the rules and bottom line for ordinary people did not apply to her.

But she was unwilling to communicate with him, so the director could only continue to say to Chen patiently:

"But I'm sorry, meetings with the chairman require an appointment. If you have an appointment, you can register at the front desk and then go to the VIP..."

Chen's eyes were slightly cold, and the long-suppressed anger and violence roared in the surging dragon blood. The terrifying oppressive feeling that erupted from the body of this ordinary and soft girl made the owner's face lose its color in an instant.

"I don't want to repeat myself for the third time. I want to see him now."

The woman in high heels was about ten centimeters taller than Chen, but she kept backing away at every word Chen said - just as she had never seen a woman comparable to the Eastern woman, she had also never seen... a young man with such a terrifying and oppressive aura.

Realizing she had lost her composure, she first adjusted her disordered breathing, then bowed and apologized:

"I understand. Please wait a moment. I'm asking for instructions from the chairman. I haven't asked for your names yet..."

"No need."

Chen acted like a thug who had come to mess things up: "Tell him I want to discuss what happened last night with him."

"..."

The director's expression became a little subtle, but she still adhered to her professional ethics and did not show any unnecessary expressions or ask any unnecessary questions. Instead, she walked straight to the front desk, probably wanting to call her chairman.

Tell him that an extremely beautiful Eastern woman and a bad-tempered young girl are coming to mess things up.

"Xiao Chen." Guan Yueli bent down and whispered in Chen's ear, "You're really talented at playing the villain."

Chen lowered his eyes: "I'm not pretending."

"You're not a good person anymore?" Guan Yueli said with a wicked smile.

"A good person cannot be made to pay the price." The girl said softly, "But he must pay the price, he must."

Guan Yueli touched her head.

In less than a minute, the woman came back.

Her expression became the same as the security guard just now... No, it was even more respectful and humble than the security guard just now.

"I'll show you the way. Mr. Mu just finished a meeting and is waiting for you in his office."

Chen walked forward expressionlessly, while Guan Yueli maintained a leisurely demeanor, as if he was on a tour.

The steady elevator slowly climbed, carrying passengers from the ground to the clouds, stepping onto the floor, every inch of which was paved with tens of thousands of Longmen coins.

Guan Yueli leaned against the elevator wall and asked, "Have you thought about what to say?"

Chen thought about it and shook his head.

"I haven't had time to think about it yet."

The woman burst out laughing. "Then why did you have that 'don't mess with me, I'm thinking' expression just now? Were you just angry?"

"Yeah." Chen nodded, "Just because I'm angry."

To be exact...anger.

A girl named Chen Huijie, full of anger

Chapter 120 - Trial

The elevator door opened, and a magnificent scene came into view.

In the huge office, various artworks are arranged in an orderly manner, and melodious classical music echoes in the empty space.

A middle-aged man was half leaning against a heavy and elegant desk, his hands swaying with the changing rhythm of the string music, seemingly immersed in his own world.

"I love classical music. Whether it's Ursus's passionate symphony or Victoria's lyrical string music, it can fully awaken your soul."

The man, with gray hair on his temples but a vibrant look, smiled calmly at Chen and Guan Yueli: "My two distinguished guests, what do you think?"

Although he acted very calm, he still couldn't hide the pure and obvious loss of composure that was revealed when he looked at Guan Yueli.

"Classical music..." Guan Yueli thought for a moment, "The music of the Eastern Kingdom two or three hundred years ago should be considered quite classical."

"Yes."

The man named Mu Shu cleared his throat slightly and said, "The classical music of the East Country is also unique."

"We're not here to talk to you about Dongguk classical music, Chairman Mushu."

Chen took a step forward and stood in front of Guan Yueli. Guan Yueli herself didn't care, but the man's gaze made her nauseous, which successfully made Chen's anger even greater.

"Ah, I know you, Miss Chen Huijie."

The fact that Mu Shu read out Chen's name said a lot, and his calm and composed look... said even more.

"I have met Commander Wei several times at banquets and I admire his skills and talents greatly. Miss Chen is a young talent and bears some resemblance to Commander Wei."

Although Chen's life experience is secret, it is not top secret. In fact, Chen's existence, in a certain sense, is also to hide the existence of the girl whose identity is actually to be concealed.

In Longmen, the truly wealthy, the top-tier, weren't exactly all-powerful, but they were pretty close. As one of Wei Yanwu's chosen pawns, the Duanlong Group was naturally quite large, and Mu Shu certainly had access to the identity of this young lady.

It is precisely because he knows Chen's identity that he becomes more confident.

Chen, expressionless, ignored his words. She spoke, her voice as cold as iron.

"Mushu, I have solid evidence here that proves you kidnapped, tortured, and murdered a Longmen citizen."

"Um……"

Mu Shu poured himself a glass of red wine, smiled and raised his glass to Guan Yueli, then said to Chen with a relaxed look:

"No, no, no, Miss Chen, he is not a citizen of Longmen."

The man's tone was ordinary, without any sarcasm or sarcasm, he was simply stating a fact:

"He has no registration information in Longmen, no one he knows, and no one can vouch for him, either legally or socially... There is no such 'citizen' in Longmen."

Chen Wei lowered his eyes and said nothing, but Guan Yueli, who was standing beside him, began to smile.

Mu Shu obviously interpreted Chen's behavior as wavering. Since he had always been undefeated, he naturally had the qualifications to make such an assumption. So he continued to explain leisurely:
