Jiang Lai glanced at Hu Yifei indifferently and then said to the middle-aged man, "Who knows! Anyway, it's not a good thing."

After saying that, Jiang Lai went straight up to the second floor.

The middle-aged man sighed and looked at Hu Yifei, saying, "Let's go, they're obviously wary of you!"

Hu Yifei pouted and said, "Why are you being wary of me! Do you really think Yang Chu is some kind of precious gem that everyone's fighting over?"

"You still dare to talk! You'd better shut your mouth right now, and don't make things worse."

"I know! Do you think I'm such a reckless person?"

"You really are!"

"I……!"

Hu Yifei was speechless at the middle-aged man's words. The middle-aged man ignored Hu Yifei's temper and said bluntly, "Either you follow and shut up, or you go back."

"Okay, okay! I'll shut up, alright!"

After they finished speaking, the middle-aged man and Hu Yifei went upstairs to the second floor.

The four of them sat in the private room, looking at each other and sizing each other up.

The middle-aged man was the first to break the silence.

“Mr. Yang, you should know me. I am Ding Zhong, the boss of Wang Zhengze and his gang.”

Yang Chu was surprised to find that this middle-aged man was from Wang Zhengze's department. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "Did Prosecutor Ding come to me for credit? I've been quite free lately and don't have anything to give you."

“Mr. Yang, we have no ill intentions towards you. On the contrary, we have a very good impression of you. You don’t need to be so wary of us. I’m here today to discuss some private matters with you.”

"Personal matters? I, Yang Chu, don't seem to know you guys well. It's not my place to discuss personal matters with you."

“I’ve already said it! Mr. Yang, you don’t need to be so wary of us, nor do you need to be so hostile towards us. I hope we can have a proper conversation, and after that, the decision is still up to you, Mr. Yang, isn’t it?”

Yang Chu thought for a moment, nodded, and gestured for him to speak, saying, "Inspector Ding, please go ahead!"

Ding Zhong nodded, and after gathering his thoughts, said, "Since you returned to the country, Mr. Yang, the things you've done have inadvertently helped the country a lot. I know you feel wronged in the Nantong matter and want to get revenge. But have you ever thought about how the descendants of the previous dynasty view you, given that you're not even thirty yet and have already disrupted many of their plans?"

Upon hearing Ding Zhong's words, Yang Chu raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ding Zhong, saying, "Is Inspector Ding here as a lobbyist?"

"No, no, no, you're wrong! I'm not here today to act as an intermediary for anyone. I just want to talk about Mr. Yang's situation and also about the influence of the descendants of the previous dynasty in the country."

Yang Chu still didn't know what Ding Zhong was going to say, and said with a frown, "Inspector Ding, just say what you have to say. I don't want to beat around the bush with you."

"Since Mr. Yang wants to be straightforward, then I will be straightforward as well."

Yang Chu nodded, signaling Ding Zhong to continue.

After thinking for a moment, Ding Zhong said, "Mr. Yang, how much reserve do you estimate the descendants of the previous dynasty have?"

Yang Chu didn't expect Ding Zhong to ask about reserves, but he didn't think much of it and answered directly, "About nine reserves, no more than twelve."

"No! You're wrong. We only know that the descendants of the previous dynasty have thirteen reserves, and there are others we don't know about. We estimate that the descendants of the previous dynasty have at least twenty reserves."

Yang Chu frowned slightly when he heard that the descendants of the previous dynasty had reserves of no less than twenty, but he didn't take it to heart. With the system around, Yang Chu wasn't afraid to compete with them in terms of funds.

Seeing Yang Chu frown, Ding Zhong was secretly delighted and asked with a smile, "Do you still want to go to war with the descendants of the previous dynasty?"

"You think I don't have the guts, don't you?"

"No, no, no! I don't doubt whether you have the guts, I just doubt whether you have the funds."

Yang Chu sneered and looked at Ding Zhong, saying, "Money is a man's courage, power is a man's soul. I, Yang Chu, have plenty of courage. If it weren't for your obstruction, I wouldn't mind starting a war with the descendants of the previous dynasty right now."

Yang Chu's words surprised Ding Zhong.

"The other party has 20 trillion. Do you have that kind of capital?"

"I've done things like betting big with small stakes before, and besides... so what if I lose! You said I'm not even thirty yet, so I can just start over. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Ding Zhong was somewhat angry upon hearing Yang Chu's words, but he still suppressed his anger and looked at Yang Chu, saying, "What if I told you that the descendants of the previous dynasty not only have reserves, but also gold as a backing? Would you still continue?"

Yang Chu was surprised by Ding Zhong's words and looked at Ding Zhong in disbelief, saying, "What do you mean?"

Ding Zhong finally saw that Yang Chu had lost his composure, and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Yang Chu and said, "Large conglomerates, in addition to their reserves, all have a large amount of gold as their backing, and the descendants of the previous dynasty also have a large amount of gold as their backing. Otherwise, how could the country tolerate the descendants of the previous dynasty controlling the economy of the three provinces of Heilongjiang?"

After pondering for a moment, Yang Chu looked at Ding Zhong and said, "Continue!"

Ding Zhong nodded and looked at Yang Chu, saying, "Do you think the country doesn't know that the descendants of the previous dynasty want to use Li Huiqu to control the economy of Shanghai? At that time, some of the country's funds were tied up by the descendants of the previous dynasty, and most of the funds were being watched by European countries. The country simply couldn't come up with much funding to deal with the crisis in Shanghai. However, the country also contacted some other corporations to sabotage the descendants of the previous dynasty's plans, but..."

"So you just happened to appear out of nowhere, and you didn't use your backup plan?"

Ding Zhong nodded and said, "That's right. When you suddenly appeared out of nowhere, you had no idea how happy the country was. But it was precisely because of your appearance that some of the country's plans were disrupted."

Upon hearing about the national plan, Yang Chu thought for a moment, glanced at Jiang Lai, and said with a sneer, "Your plan isn't to force the Jiang Group to withdraw from Shanghai, is it?"

Ding Zhong nodded seriously and said, "That's right. Our plan at the time was indeed to make the Jiang Group withdraw from Shanghai. As you all know, the Jiang Group developed too fast and its foundation was unstable. The country's original intention was to make the Jiang Group withdraw from Shanghai and then support two major groups to counter Li Huiqu. This way, we could control the situation in Shanghai on the one hand, and the economy of Shanghai would not be in chaos on the other hand."

Yang Chu scoffed dismissively and said, "The ultimate goal is to appease the descendants of the previous dynasty, right?"

"You can say that!"

"What about Jiang Haokun and his family? Let's not even talk about the financial losses; they lost the entire Jiang Group for nothing!"
