BXBX NOVEL Chapter 440 Lodging
The man\'s gaze turned cold as he watched Chen Yong\'s screen, his hand resting on his firearm.
He had made up his mind that if Chen Yong was indeed contacting Wang Chao, he would eliminate Chen Yong on the spot.
However, what caught his eyes was a gaming page.
Chen Yong had closed the email page without him noticing and opened League of Legends, engaged in fierce battles.
The man\'s gaze shifted, and the murderous intent in his eyes gradually subsided.
He moved back one row of seats and sat behind Chen Yong, silently observing him.
Unaware of the man\'s presence, Chen Yong continued playing the game.
After an hour of gaming, he exited the game, turned off the computer, and quickly left.
The man also stood up and followed Chen Yong.
Chen Yong wandered on the streets and, after making a phone call to someone, went straight home without going out again.
The man didn\'t leave either. Instead, he silently waited downstairs in front of Chen Yong\'s house.
Danfeng Group, CEO\'s office.
Wang Chao was leisurely brewing tea, chatting and laughing with Zhou Xinghe and Zhao Liying, enjoying the fragrant tea.
Shen Bing was working in her office, her face growing dark as she observed their relaxed demeanor. She scolded, "Brother Wang, your carefree attitude will only make Shen Dongshan more vigilant."
"Let him be vigilant. If it weren\'t for Brother Wang considering your face, we could have killed Shen Dongshan a hundred times over for what he\'s done," Zhou Xinghe said.
"No matter how great the schemes and seamless the conspiracies, they are all trash in the face of absolute power," Zhao Liying chimed in.
As they spoke, the two of them clinked their tea cups together and drank.
Shen Bing\'s face grew even darker.
However, faced with these three individuals, she didn\'t know what else to say. Instead, she remained silent.
Shen Dongshan deserved a beating, and she wanted to give it to him herself.
In the past, she might not have known these three people well enough and would have said more. But after the incident on the Swan Cruise Ship, she fully understood the strength and recklessness of Wang Chao and the others.
Both of them were god-level experts, powerful and formidable. Ordinary god-level experts couldn\'t even compare to them.
Shen Dongshan, a mere mortal, repeatedly attempted to kill Wang Chao.
If it weren\'t for her, with Zhou Xinghe and Wang Chao\'s temperaments, they might have already killed Shen Dongshan without a second thought.
She didn\'t say anything further, lowered her head, and busied herself with her work.
"President Shen, the tea is ready. Take a break and have some," Wang Chao invited.
"I can\'t. I still have some work to do. The day after tomorrow is the board meeting of our Shen family. My grandfather will return to preside over the meeting, so I need to prepare the report for him," Shen Bing said.
As she spoke, she continued organizing the documents.
"Old Master Shen, right? I heard he was a legendary figure, starting from scratch and building the Shen family for nearly forty years," Zhao Liying said, her eyes filled with admiration. "I have to say, your grandfather is truly an extraordinary person."
Shen Bing smiled, her eyes also filled with admiration. She said, "I also have great respect for my grandfather. He came from a remote countryside to Canton City, started from nothing, and went through decades of trials and tribulations to make the Shen family the largest family in Canton City."
"I couldn\'t achieve what he has accomplished."
"You don\'t have the ruthlessness of your grandfather," Wang Chao commented casually.
Shen Bing\'s methods were still somewhat gentle, not cruel enough when dealing with enemies.
He also had some understanding of the rise of the Shen family.
Forty years ago, when Canton City was not as developed, the conditions here were not very good. There were frequent and terrifying street fights, and many people tried to sneak into the Hong City or Ma Kong.
At that time, Hong City and Ma Kong were the best economic regions in the country, surpassing many cities on the mainland.
During that period, Old Master Shen didn\'t go there to compete with many others but instead walked from the Chaozhou-Shantou region to Canton City.
He had a keen business sense, starting with trading cloth, buying from the east and selling to the west to earn a profit. Step by step, he expanded his business.
While many people couldn\'t afford to eat meat, Old Master Shen had already provided beef for his family.
Later, due to certain reasons, he began selling pork and beef. He even found a good source and became the meat supplier for the largest local family.
Leveraging the power of that family, his business grew bigger, his wealth increased, and his status rose higher.
When a person becomes famous or wealthy, it\'s easy to attract attention and trouble.
Because his business had grown so large, Old Master Shen drew the attention of the largest meat supplier in the area.
Within three days, Old Master Shen\'s stall was smashed, he was beaten and ended up in the hospital, and the prepared pork and beef were all stolen.
As a result, the delivery of meat to the major families was delayed, and he received blame from them, causing his business to plummet.
However, Old Master Shen didn\'t give up. On the contrary, he rallied, confronted the rival meat supplier, and after a month of maneuvering, conspiring, and competing with force, he finally brought down the largest meat supplier in Canton City.
In the process, he also wiped out some small families that had once conspired against him. Not only did he establish a firm foothold in Canton City, but he also expanded his influence.
From that point on, Old Master Shen soared to new heights.
He bought a large piece of land in Canton City, built a house, and relocated the entire Shen family ancestral temple from the distant Chaozhou-Shantou region to Canton City, establishing the Shen family in Canton City.
After several decades of development, the Shen family rapidly grew and surpassed many other families, becoming one of the superpowers in Canton City, tied with the Zhao family for the top position.
In that era, achieving such a level of success, Old Master Shen could be considered a great hero!
However, Wang Chao knew some additional information. Old Master Shen had a cooperative relationship with Lafayette as well. It was likely that their hands were stained with blood.
"Ruthless?" Shen Bing was taken aback.
"Do you naively think that your grandfather reached his current position without shedding blood? As far as I know, his enemies from the past have all disappeared, most likely dead," Wang Chao said, looking at Shen Bing.
"Most capital, in its rise to power, steps on the corpses of others. Their hands and feet are soaked in blood," Zhao Liying added.
"Looking at the world, the rise of all capital is tainted."
After drinking a cup of tea, Zhou Xinghe said casually, "For example, our mercenary group. Back in the day, we did many unspeakable things. Your Shen family is no exception, I\'m sure."
Shen Bing remained silent and did not refute.
As the leader of the first family in Canton City, she naturally understood the methods of capital.
Leaving aside other matters, the incident with Shen Yizong had already revealed everything.
Global capital has no benevolent intentions!
Wang Chao, drinking tea and eating the takeout he had ordered, remained silent. Instead, he picked up his phone, opened a video, and handed it to Shen Bing, saying, "You\'ll find this information useful for the upcoming board meeting."
The video on Wang Chao\'s phone was the footage sent by Chen Yong. It clearly documented the various medicinal herbs and Shen Dongshan\'s demand for Chen Yong to kill Wang Chao.
The evidence was irrefutable!
After seeing the contents, Shen Bing\'s expression darkened. "This is outrageous!"
"I\'m giving you seven days. You better deal with him quickly. Otherwise, if he continues to cause trouble, I will eliminate him at any time," Wang Chao said.
To be honest, when they were in the office earlier, he had the impulse to kill Shen Dongshan and eliminate the future trouble. However, out of consideration for Shen Bing, he refrained from doing so.
"No need for seven days. I will resolve everything at the board meeting in two days," Shen Bing said confidently.
As she spoke, she took Wang Chao\'s phone and copied the files onto her own computer and phone, saving them.
"Have you found the mole?" Wang Chao asked.
"There\'s no need to worry about the mole. I will handle it myself," Shen Bing replied.
Wang Chao looked at Zhou Xinghe and Zhao Liying, then asked, "So, do you need them tonight?"
"What do you have in mind?" Shen Bing asked.
"They are my long-time friends. Now that they\'re in Canton City, I naturally want to take them home for a meal and treat them well," Wang Chao said.
Shen Bing thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any spare rooms at your place?"
"What do you have in mind?" Wang Chao was puzzled.
"Before the board meeting, I feel more secure being together with you all," Shen Bing said, smiling as she finished organizing the files. She looked at Wang Chao and added, "Minister Wang, you wouldn\'t refuse my humble request, would you?"
Wang Chao smiled and replied, "Of course, you\'re always welcome. We just bought a house, and there are plenty of rooms."
If it were their old dilapidated house, he wouldn\'t dare bring all these people back home. After all, there weren\'t enough rooms in that old house, and they would be cramped if the whole family stayed together.
Luckily, they now had a five-story building, and their family couldn\'t even fill it.
"Alright, let\'s go. We\'ll have dinner at your place tonight," Shen Bing said with a smile.
She put the files into a drawer and locked it, then adjusted her long hair and smiled at Wang Chao. "Let\'s go."
Zhou Xinghe and Zhao Liying finished their tea and stood up as well.
The four of them left the CEO\'s office, closed the door, went downstairs, and Zhou Xinghe drove Shen Bing\'s car from the garage straight to Wang Chao\'s home.
On the way, Wang Chao called his mother, Li Han, and said, "Mom, there\'s been a change of plans. I have two additional friends with me, so please prepare more food."
"What kind of dishes should I make?"
"You decide."
After a pause, Wang Chao suddenly turned to Li Han and Zhao Liying. "Are you both on your period? Can you drink cold beverages?"
Both Shen Bing and Zhao Liying had darkened expressions.
"Wang Chao, what are you thinking? Are you trying to take advantage of us?" Zhao Liying uttered with a stern face.
Shen Bing also had an unpleasant expression.
Wang Chao was speechless for a moment before explaining, "What are you thinking? My mom keeps Powerade and Sprite in the fridge. They\'re all frozen. If you are on your period, I\'ll ask her not to serve drinks, and we can have soup instead."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Bing suddenly spoke up, "I can drink cold beverages."
Zhao Liying frowned slightly and replied, "I can\'t."
"Alright, you can have soup, and President Shen can have a beverage."
Wang Chao nodded slightly and immediately called his mother to inform her of the arrangements.
Soon, the four of them arrived at the doorstep of Wang Chao\'s home.
Just as Wang Chao was about to invite the three of them inside, Shen Bing pulled him aside.
"What\'s wrong?" Wang Chao was puzzled.
"It\'s my first time coming to your house. I can not come empty-handed. I\'ll go buy something that your parents like," Shen Bing said.
"Just coming over for dinner is enough; there\'s no need to buy anything," Wang Chao replied.
"No, I insist on buying something," Shen Bing insisted.
"Do you really need to make it so troublesome? It\'s like you are meeting your parents-in-law," Zhou Xinghe remarked, looking at Shen Bing with a hint of confusion. "Oh? President Shen, are you feeling nervous?"
