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

"Have you investigated? Who exactly did these things?"

Chen Shanhe questioned loudly.

“Master, I’ve investigated them all. These forces are all overseas, and their backgrounds are all very mysterious. Basically, once you trace them to a certain point, you completely lose track of them…” the butler stammered.

"You mean to say that all of my Chen family's companies have been shorted, and you don't even know who did it?!"

Chen Shanhe grabbed the butler by the collar, his eyes filled with anger.

It's no wonder he lost his composure; the current situation is far too serious. The Chen family has never experienced anything like this before!

"Brother, what happened?"

Lu Shouyi, who was standing to the side, asked.

"I just received news that the stock prices of all the listed companies under our Chen family have been maliciously shorted—someone is targeting our Chen family!"

Chen Shanhe gritted his teeth, his face turning ashen.

"Could it have been done by that guy surnamed Chen?"

The thought flashed through Lu Shouyi's mind.

"If it wasn't him, the whole thing is too much of a coincidence; but if it was him, these are all overseas forces, and the funds involved exceed hundreds of billions. Could he really have that kind of power?"

Chen Shanhe became puzzled.

You know, this guy obediently lived with someone else's family for several years!

How could someone with such power willingly allow themselves to be bullied in someone else's home?

Even if he himself were willing, his subordinates would never be!

This just doesn't make sense!

......

Cheng family.

After looking at the information report handed to him by Cheng He, Cheng Junshan was completely shocked, as if he had never seen anything like it before.

The Chen family's stock price was shorted in less than half a day!

"I never imagined that Master Chen could actually use overseas influence! The power he has behind him is truly beyond our comprehension. Alas, we underestimated him after all."

"Father, what should we do next?"

Cheng He asked cautiously.

In his mind, the situation had completely turned in Chen Yun's favor. Shouldn't the Cheng family also lend a hand and add to the good fortune? Perhaps doing so would win Chen Yun's favor?

Cheng Junshan immediately waved his hand: "Xiaohe, I know what you want to say. But right now, all we can do is wait and see. The stock price being shorted doesn't mean the Chen family is powerless to fight back."

"You should know that Chen Shanhe has definitely already contacted his sworn brother, Lu Shouyi, the king of the underworld. Those overseas forces will ultimately be unable to enter the country, and Master Chen may not be able to protect himself."

"Furthermore, even if Master Chen really has the ability to handle everything, if we step in now, it will not give people the impression of adding to his glory, but rather like a weather vane that bends with the wind."

"Therefore, doing nothing and saying nothing is the best course of action right now!"

"I understand, Father."

Cheng He nodded immediately and hurriedly ran off to gather intelligence.

Even so, the excitement on his face showed no sign of diminishing.

Although his father told him not to do anything yet, Cheng He could still understand one thing from his words—Master Chen really had the ability to bring down the Chen family.

As the saying goes, "Whale fall brings forth all things!"

If the Chen family really falls this time, then its various businesses and industries will inevitably attract the attention of various powerful forces.

Jiangnan City is Cheng's territory, so it goes without saying who will get the biggest share of the benefits!

This time, Chen Yun, this suddenly emerging true dragon, might actually be able to kill the Chen family, this local tyrant who has been entrenched in Jiangnan City for over a hundred years!

......

City Hall.

Wang Hong is holding a leadership meeting with a group of people.

Suddenly, the phone rang. After seeing the number, Wang Hong answered it without hesitation.

Everyone else present was completely baffled and didn't understand Wang Hong's behavior.

"Master Chen!"

Wang Hong responded with utmost respect.

After listening attentively for a while, he said with a serious expression, "Master Chen, rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Hong immediately adjourned the meeting and ran out without looking back.

The other leaders present looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's wrong with the mayor?"

"I don't know. Who is he talking to on the phone? Could it be a leader from the province?"

"We haven't received any news that provincial leaders are coming..."

......

Inside the top presidential suite of a five-star hotel.

Nangong Qing was talking with his bodyguard Qin Shan, planning to return to Jinghai City in a few days.

After all, the meeting with Mr. Chen was over. Although the outcome wasn't great, at least I didn't offend him in any way.

This trip to Jiangnan City was neither particularly successful nor unsuccessful.

"Sigh, it's just a bit of a pity..."

Nangong Qing couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Shan nodded in agreement.

It's a real shame that this trip didn't meet expectations.

Such an important opportunity is rare and hard to come by.

Just then, Nangong Qing's phone rang, and he immediately picked it up to answer:

"Mr. Chen!"

"I need your help with some things. You need to..." Chen Yun got straight to the point and explained what he needed to do.

"I understand, Mr. Chen. I will definitely get everything done!"

After hanging up the phone, Nangong Qing was filled with excitement.

"what happened?"

Qin Shan asked curiously.

"Mr. Chen needs to speak with me!"

Nangong Qing's face was full of excitement.

"Great!"

Qin Shan clapped his hands excitedly as well:

"The fact that Mr. Chen contacted you means that he has already approved of you to some extent. As long as you do this matter well, and tell the master when you get back, your trip to Jiangnan City will be a complete success! You will naturally have more say in the family in the future!"

"That's right!!"

Nangong Qing beamed with joy, completely abandoning his superior demeanor and acting more like a child who had just received candy.

It really is like finding a new path after a dark period!

Just as I was thinking that this trip would be fruitless, Mr. Chen immediately gave me some instructions.

Ah, the Chen family of Jiangnan City? In that case, I really have to thank you!

Nangong Qing sneered: "Since you dared to anger Mr. Chen, you will naturally have to pay a sufficient price—be grateful, being personally destroyed by Mr. Chen is enough for you to leave your mark among the aristocratic families!"

......

After hanging up the phone and putting it in his pocket, Chen Yun calmly walked to the balcony of the villa and looked out into the distance.

At this moment, the sky is clear and the air is crisp, with not a cloud in sight.

He had arranged everything perfectly.

Three days later.

Jiangnan City.

The Chen family is gone!
