From Sidekick to Bigshot

There were even bookmakers on the dark web who opened bets for people to place.

So far the odds for Chen Lin to win were one to two, whilst the odds for Jian Yiheng to win were one to eight.

Evidently, most people thought that Chen Lin had a better chance of winning.

After leaving, Qu Zhen and Sheng Yingying went to the Qin Residence to discuss this matter with Qin Chuan: "We originally planned to make a move against Zhai Yunsheng. However, we did not expect Jian Yiheng to interfere. But it's alright, this will serve as a warning for Zhai Yunsheng."

Sheng Yingying was a little worried. After all, Qin Chuan clearly stated that he didn't care what they did to Zhai Yunsheng. However, they had to not involve Jian Yiling in the matter.

Now, this matter involved Jian Yiling's cousin Jian Yiheng. Therefore, she was concerned about Qin Chuan's thoughts.

"I won't interfere with Jian Yiheng's matters," Qin Chuan stated. "I've already stated my request. Do not involve Jian Yiling."

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Qu Zhen and Sheng Yingying felt relieved.

On their way here, they were worried that Qin Chuan would be unhappy with the way they dealt with this matter.

After a slight pause, Sheng Yingying said to Qin Chuan: "Mr. Qin, if you like Jian Yiling, after we deal with Zhai Yunsheng…

"You don't need to comment on my business," Qin Chuan interrupted Sheng Yingying. "You guys just need to focus on your own business."

Qin Chuan did not want to mention his relationship with Jian Yiling in front of Qu Zhen and Sheng Yingying.

In fact, he himself couldn't figure out and understand what he was feeling. If that was the case, how could others comment?

"Of course," Qu Zhen hurriedly said. "And about this competition between ElderChen and Jian Yiheng…"

"Is Elder Chen confident in winning?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Naturally," Sheng Yingying replied with certainty, "His attainment in martial arts definitely should not be compared to that of a clown."

"But I heard that Elder Chen lost to someone in the past," Qin Chuan said.

"That time doesn't count. That person was the Black Demon King! He's not a human being! His abilities reached far beyond the realm of ordinary humans."

And hence, people called that person the Black Demon King.

In the past, Sheng Yingying got a chance to look at him from afar. Back then, the Black Demon King was in his late twenties or early thirties. He was quite a handsome man.

Because of his capabilities, half of Beijing essentially belonged to him.

However, that person suddenly retired. Ever since then, no one had heard any news about him. In fact, no one even knew whether he was dead or alive. Only stories and legends about him remained.

"Well, since you guys have confidence, make sure nothing goes wrong," Qin Chuan calmly said.

"Okay," Sheng Yingying replied. Then, she added: "Also, the thing we mentioned before about the Qin family stepping in to make sure the Zhai family…"

"You don't need to mention this again. The Qin family will not give over our market share to the Zhai family. However, please don't forget that the Zhai family has existed in Beijing for many years. They have a solid foundation and over the years, they've cooperated with many companies and corporations. Preventing him from accessing any resources is unrealistic. Furthermore, how much do you know about the Dingwen Group? Unlike the Zhai family business, I believe all of us know almost nothing about the Dingwen Group."

A large part of the reason why Qin Chuan was able to destroy the Zhai Group so easily was because of his memories from his previous life. This allowed him to know the operations of the Zhai Group like the back of his hand. Furthermore, as he knew about the existence of the Loyalty Alliance, he could manage to get twice the result with half the effort.
