Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

The next morning, Meng Chuan arrived at the top floor of the Blackman Bar.

Fifth Master remained seated in the mahogany chair, his hands twirling prayer beads, his expression serene.

Before him knelt a woman dressed in fine clothes but with a face full of fear—Chen Li.

Meng Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting Fifth Master to act so quickly and have already captured Chen Li.

"It's been confirmed. She was the one who posted the assassination missions on the dark web."

Fifth Master spoke calmly.

He glanced at Chen Li kneeling on the ground, then looked at Meng Chuan.

How to handle this matter depends on Meng Chuan's opinion.

At this moment, Chen Li had lost her former arrogance; her face was as pale as paper, and she was trembling like a leaf.

She didn't even have the courage to raise her head when facing Fifth Master.

He could only kneel on the ground, his forehead pressed against the earth, and plead with Meng Chuan in a trembling voice:

"Meng Chuan, I was wrong, I was really wrong! Please, have mercy on me, please spare my son!"

Chen Li knew some of Fifth Master's past.

In the 1970s and 80s, Fifth Master had a history of wiping out entire families.

If she couldn't get Meng Chuan's forgiveness, she didn't know what Fifth Master would do to her and her son.

Meng Chuan looked at Chen Li coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

He cannot feel pity for someone who wants him dead.

If it weren't for Yingdie last night, his news would already be on the TV news.

"I don't understand, what hatred do you have for me that you want to kill me?"

Meng Chuan's voice was icy.

Chen Li opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't answer Meng Chuan's question at all.

Because she had no hatred towards Meng Chuan.

If there is any reason for this, it is her love for her son.

She hated Meng Chuan as much as she loved her son.

This kind of hatred is indescribable.

"It was a moment of confusion on my part, it's all my fault! You can hit me or yell at me, you can!"

Chen Li could only keep kowtowing, her voice filled with despair.

Meng Chuan sneered and continued to press for answers:

"Was this your idea alone, or was it instigated by the Shen or Chen families?"

"It was me! It was all my idea!"

Chen Li hurriedly answered, fearing that it would implicate her family, and even more so that Meng Chuan would take his anger out on his son Shen Chong.

As long as Meng Chuan can calm down, she is willing to take full responsibility for all the crimes.

Meng Chuan narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked:

"Do you think you have more money, or do I?"

Chen Li was taken aback, then answered in a low voice:

"You...you have a lot of money."

Although the Shen and Chen families are wealthy, they had known about Meng Chuan's mysterious status as a retail investor for a long time.

Moreover, Meng Chuan has also invested in Douyin and Pinduoduo, and the cash flow he controls is enough to crush them.

How much did you pay to save my life?

Meng Chuan continued to press for answers.

"Fifty...fifty million."

Chen Li dared not hide anything and answered with trembling hands.

By this point, it was no longer possible to hide it.

Meng Chuan sneered, his tone laced with sarcasm:

"Fifty million? How long do you think he could live if I spent one hundred million to assassinate Shen Chong on the dark web?"

Chen Li's pupils suddenly contracted, and her face turned deathly pale.

One hundred million? The assassin world will probably be in an uproar in an instant.

Given the terrifying nature of dark web assassins, even if his son were hiding in prison, he would likely not escape their clutches.

After all, money can make the devil turn the millstone, and money can move people's hearts!

"No! Meng Chuan, please, no! I'll cancel the assassination mission against you immediately!"

Chen Li frantically pulled out her phone and dialed a number with trembling hands.

Meng Chuan looked at Fifth Master:

"Assassination missions can be cancelled?"

Meng Chuan didn't understand these things.

However, Meng Chuan had read quite a few urban novels.

It is said that once an assassin accepts a mission, it is a fight to the death.

Fifth Master nodded slightly and said calmly:

"The mission can be cancelled, but the funds will not be refunded and will belong to the assassin organization."

Meng Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he wasn't afraid of Chen Li, he didn't want to live in constant fear of assassins.

Since the mission can be cancelled, his threat is also eliminated.

"The mission has been cancelled! Meng Chuan, please spare my son! I will take full responsibility for all the crimes!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li continued to plead.

Meng Chuan looked at her coldly, his tone completely unwavering:

"You can cancel a task today, and reissue it tomorrow. How can I trust you?"

Chen Li panicked immediately and hurriedly said:

"No! I really won't do it again! I'll do anything you want, just let my son go!"

Meng Chuan's lips curled into a cold smile as he slowly said:

"I want the entire Shen family, can you give it to me?"

"The Shen family?"

Chen Li paused for a moment, then shook her head vigorously.

"No! No way! The Shen family belongs to my son, and no one can take it away! Meng Chuan, make another request, and I will definitely grant it!"

Everything she has now is a gift from the Shen family.

With the Shen family by her side, she and her son could continue to live a life free from financial worries.

She had already planned everything out. Once the Shen family was handed over to her son, she would stay home and take care of her grandson with peace of mind.

Although her son is not yet capable of taking over the Shen family.

But that's because her son is still young, only 23 years old.

When our son grows up a bit more, he will definitely be able to manage the family business well.

Chen Li had imagined this wonderful life countless times in her heart.

Now that Meng Chuan wants to take the Shen family away, that's absolutely unacceptable.

Her son was born noble.

Even if she could endure hardship, how could she bear to let her son live the kind of miserable life that ordinary people have?

Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?

Meng Chuan snorted coldly.

"No, Meng Chuan, please, I have a shell company that controls 20% of the Shen family's shares. I'm willing to give you this shell company, please let my son go?"

Chen Li said hurriedly.

Now, as long as Meng Chuan spares her son and doesn't ruin the Shen family, she can accept anything else.

"Huh? Why do you have a shell company? And why are you using this company to hold shares in your Shen family's company?"

Meng Chuan looked at Chen Li strangely.

“I’m just taking precautions. Shen An, that old fox, thinks I don’t know that he’s been having affairs all these years and has countless illegitimate children.”

Chen Li said with a somewhat ferocious expression:

"And then there's Shen Yue. Shen An intends to hand over the Shen family to Shen Yue to manage, and I can't not think about my son."

It turns out that Chen Li had already started planning this many years ago.

Young Chen Li is definitely not a fool.

She is also a very famous and talented woman.

In order to consolidate his son's right of inheritance.

She used subtle and gradual methods to slowly accumulate shares.

They acquired a significant portion of the Shen family's shares.

She was afraid that one day, Shen An's illegitimate son would return and seize power, making her son invincible.

Meng Chuan looked at Chen Li with some newfound respect.

It seems that the scheming and power struggles among these so-called wealthy families are even more fascinating than the struggles for imperial power in ancient times!

"Fine, hand over that company, and I'll let Shen Chong go."

Meng Chuan nodded, but then said coldly:

“But this will only happen once. If there is a next time, even if Jesus comes, he will not be able to save him.”
