After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

"and many more."

Chen Yun's calm voice came from the kitchen.

"What, what's wrong?"

Cheng Qingyue responded somewhat fearfully.

"I'll throw away the trash while I'm at it."

"How could you do this?"

Cheng Qingyue felt a little wronged. She had never taken out the trash herself since she was a child. Everyone treated her with utmost care and respect. No one dared to order her around like this!

However, Chen Yun remained silent. The kitchen entrance faced Cheng Qingyue, empty and desolate, like a man-eating beast.

"You, you wait! I'll go back and tell my dad that you bullied me!"

Cheng Qingyue made a harsh statement, turned around and ran out of the villa, taking the trash from the bin with her.

Walking to the trash can inside the villa, Cheng Qingyue covered her nose and threw the trash in: "Hmph, I'm not scared, I just want to experience what it feels like to throw away trash! Yes, that's it!"

After washing the dishes, Chen Yun came out of the kitchen, lit a cigarette, and gently exhaled a wisp of smoke.

"A big shot from Jinghai? Which of those families could it be? Could it be that old man from the Nangong family...?"

......

Gangnam City Airport.

Countless expensive flowers lined both sides of a specially designated passageway, and a red carpet was laid in the middle of the road. Many people dressed in suits waited at the arrival area with serious expressions.

If ordinary citizens were here, they would realize that everyone standing here is a big shot from Jiangnan City!

Standing at the head of the group were Cheng Junshan, the head of the Cheng family; Wang Hong, the mayor of Wang city; and Murong Hai, the head of the Murong family!

In addition, many wealthy families from Jiangnan City stood beside the group, but they wisely dispersed behind the three leaders.

Everyone stood here, waiting to welcome Nangong Qing, the eldest son of the Nangong family from Jinghai!

"Heh, Murong Hai, you really have some impressive skills. You managed to pull off such a big thing without making a sound, even winning over the Murong family of Jinghai."

Cheng Junshan glanced at Murong Hai, who was smiling beside him, and snorted coldly.

"Well, you can't say that. This collaboration involved powerful families from seven cities outside of Jiangnan City, and it certainly took a lot of effort. However, it was the Nangong family that spearheaded the project, and they were the ones who chose my Murong family in Jiangnan City... As for why it wasn't your Cheng family, well, it's probably because they lack the necessary resources."

Murong Hai beamed with pride, looking smug and self-satisfied. His words, however, were utterly undisguisedly sarcastic.

Standing between the two, Wang Hong showed no outward sign of anger, but secretly pondered something.

Murong Hai's words seemed to be a rebuttal to Cheng Junshan, but in reality, they were a reminder to him.

That is, the powerful Nangong family in Jinghai greatly favors our Murong family. With their help, the Cheng family will inevitably be surpassed by our Murong family in the future.

It's time for you, Mayor, to switch sides!

Wang Hong understood Murong Hai's meaning perfectly, but he had been able to maintain his position as mayor over the years thanks in no small part to the Cheng family's help.

Similarly, the fact that the Cheng family was able to significantly increase its strength and surpass the established powerful family Murong was naturally due to his efforts.

Their fates were intertwined; Murong Hai's move was truly unpredictable, leaving them no chance to be on guard.

At the same time, Wang Hong was quite confused.

Jiangnan City is ultimately just a third-tier city. Why would a family like the Nangong family, which can be considered top-tier even in Jinghai, come to Jiangnan City to seek benefits? Why would Murong Hai want the Nangong family to pave the way for him?

Moreover, he knew very well that the person who came to Jiangnan City today was Nangong Qing, the eldest son of the Nangong family, who would likely inherit the family business in the future. A mere 10 billion yuan real estate project did not require such an important person to come!

Are there other hidden stories behind this...?

"Young Master Nangong, you've finally arrived!"

Just then, a luxurious private jet landed, and Nangong Qing, dressed in fine clothes and with a calm expression, walked across the red carpet and emerged from the passageway.

Qin Shan, dressed in a long robe, stood beside him, exuding an imposing aura.

Murong Hai immediately greeted him with a fawning smile, showering him with concern and concern, which disgusted Cheng Junshan and Wang Hong.

This shameless fawning is just too much!

"Patriarch Murong, why are so many people here?"

Nangong Qing's indifferent gaze swept across the entire room, his tone calm.

Murong Hai said cautiously, "These are all people who came to welcome you after receiving news of your arrival in Jiangnan City. I advised them beforehand that you didn't like this kind of scene, but they insisted on coming, and I couldn't stop them..."

This statement completely absolved them of any responsibility.

Wang Hong and Cheng Junshan suppressed their anger and stepped forward with warm smiles: "Young Master Nangong has come to Jinghai, so it is only right that we come to welcome him."

"Who are these two?"

Nangong Qing asked softly.

"This is Wang Hong, the mayor of Jiangnan City, and the other is Cheng Junshan, the head of the richest family in Jiangnan City."

In front of Nangong Qing, Murong Hai dared not be presumptuous and responded respectfully.

"Yeah. I understand."

Nangong Qing nodded, not very interested, and after indicating that he understood, he turned and walked outside.

"Young master, the hotel has been arranged. Please follow me."

Murong Hai immediately served him and followed him out.

Wang Hong and Cheng Junshan were left standing there, looking at each other.

"has a problem."

Wang Hong frowned slightly.

Cheng Junshan nodded. "That's right. Why is Murong Hai able to get the help of the Jinghai Nangong family? The two sides are not even on the same level."

"Yes, and Murong Hai's attitude is wrong. I can understand that he wants to use the Nangong family's power to become the most influential person in Jiangnan City, but his attitude towards Nangong Qing goes far beyond that of a partner... it's more like a deep-seated awe?"

Cheng Junshan and Wang Hong exchanged a glance and then fell silent.

"Forget it, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. There's no point in saying anything more now. The Nangong family may be powerful, but they can't keep extending their reach into our Jiangnan City forever."

"Moreover, other families are also coming this time. If we can persuade them to join forces with us, even if Murong Hai has the Nangong family backing him, we will still have the ability to resist him."

Cheng Junshan calmly analyzed the situation.

“You’re right. We also need to figure out the relationship between Murong Hai and the Nangong family. That might be a breakthrough.” Wang Hong agreed with him, then seemed to have thought of something: “Is Doctor Chen currently staying at your Yunlong Villa?”

Cheng Junshan nodded, then said with a wry smile, "Old Wang, I know what you're thinking. But even if I wanted to speak up for you, now is not the time. His identity is definitely not just that of a doctor. Just based on his martial arts master strength, how many people in the entire country can achieve that... and someone as young as him is absolutely unique..."

"The identity of Doctor Chen is far more terrifying than we imagine. If you want him to save your daughter, you must wait for an opportunity."

"Sigh... I was so foolish back then!"

Wang Hong's long sigh echoed in the corridor.
