Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

After Chen Li left, Fifth Master picked up his teacup, gently blew on the steam rising from the tea, and asked:

"Are you really going to just let them, mother and child, go like this?"

Fifth Master never interfered with Meng Chuan's decision.

It did not stop him from taking over the shell company that Chen Li mentioned.

But he was clearly somewhat surprised that Meng Chuan let Chen Li leave so easily.

"Does Fifth Master think I should exterminate them all?"

Meng Chuan calmly countered with a question, his tone completely devoid of emotion.

Fifth Master smiled, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes:

"In today's civilized society, killing someone to cover it up is indeed inappropriate. But we must admit that sometimes eliminating the root of the problem is the safest approach."

Meng Chuan looked at Fifth Master, unsure whether he was serious or joking.

However, Meng Chuan firmly shook his head and said:

"Chen Li and Shen Chong are not qualified to be my opponents. Their lives or deaths are not important to me."

At this point, Meng Chuan's eyes suddenly sharpened:

"The important question is, who was behind Chen Li contacting the dark web and issuing the mission to assassinate me?"

Meng Chuan absolutely did not believe that Chen Li had this ability.

Although she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, she had always lived a life of luxury.

It's simply impossible to access the dark web, this underground world.

Just like Meng Chuan himself, even though he possessed enormous wealth, he knew nothing about the dark web.

Even if the Shen family has enemies who require the use of assassins.

That was done by Shen An; Chen Li wouldn't know.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to think of that."

A hint of approval flashed in Fifth Master's eyes, seemingly surprised by Meng Chuan's keen insight.

"Fifth Master has already found out?"

Meng Chuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

Fifth Master nodded, his tone indifferent:

"Shen An's personal secretary."

"Is it Shen An?"

Meng Chuan frowned, somewhat surprised.

Meng Chuan had always had a good impression of Shen An.

From the moment Meng Chuan and Shen Chong clashed, Shen An consistently played the role of peacemaker.

Although he had verbally reprimanded Meng Chuan, he never posed a real threat to him.

Shen An was completely unaware that the Chen family was obstructing the Liu Group's listing.

"uncertain."

Fifth Master took a sip of tea and slowly said:

"This secretary came from a poor family. Shen An sponsored his studies in the name of the company."

“Shen An trusted him immensely and treated him like his own son; naturally, Shen An also recognized his abilities.”

Fifth Master paused:

"But interestingly, this secretary is actually Chen Li's person."

"This secretary would secretly report all of Shen An's private activities, including his romantic affairs, to Chen Li."

Meng Chuan was taken aback, secretly marveling at Chen Li's methods.

She actually managed to turn the people Shen An had personally trained against him.

It's no wonder Shen An'an planned ahead of time by planting such a spy.

"This secretary's access to the dark web is impressive!"

Meng Chuan frowned.

Fifth Master smiled and continued:

"What's even more interesting is that this secretary not only gave the information to Chen Li, but also to Shen Yue, the adopted daughter of the Shen family."

"Shen Yue?"

Meng Chuan looked at Fifth Master in surprise.

Fifth Master nodded, a hint of amusement in his eyes:

"This secretary is incredibly talented; she navigates the three factions within the Shen family with remarkable skill, managing to please everyone!"

Meng Chuan wholeheartedly agreed.

He was favored when Shen An was in power.

Regardless of whether Shen Yue or Shen Chong rises to power in the future, he will still be favored.

This kind of tactic is not something that ordinary people can pull off.

They've taken Infernal Affairs to the extreme.

He single-handedly stirred up the three-way power struggle within the Shen family.

"The problem now is, who is the mastermind behind this? I can't figure it out either."

Fifth Master sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness.

Meng Chuan was also a little confused, and tried to ask:

"Should we arrest him and interrogate him?"

Meng Chuan was unaware of Fifth Master's methods of interrogation.

However, the fact that he was able to pry open the killer's mouth and reveal Chen Li, the mastermind, speaks volumes.

"It's no use. Even if we arrest this secretary and torture him severely, we may not get the truth."

Fifth Master shook his head and said:

Even if he were telling the truth, we wouldn't dare believe him.

Fifth Master's words make sense.

Who knows which of his words are true and which are false when dealing with this two-faced traitor?

Things suddenly became shrouded in mystery.

On the surface, it seems that Chen Li wants Meng Chuan dead.

But was Shen An aware of this? Did he secretly instigate it?

Did Shen Yue know about this? Was she sitting on the sidelines watching the two sides fight?

Shen Yue's suspicion cannot be erased.

She had always wanted to control the Shen family, but Meng Chuan had not yet taken action against them.

It's not impossible that she deliberately let Chen Li take the initiative, forcing herself to act against the Shen family as soon as possible.

"Fifth Master, have you investigated this secretary's background?"

Meng Chuan, who was deep in thought, suddenly looked up and asked.

"It's been investigated, and they are completely innocent."

Fifth Master nodded and said:

"He was just an ordinary rural child, with nothing suspicious about him."

"How could someone with an honest background possibly have access to the dark web?"

Meng Chuan frowned.

Fifth Master shook his head:

"That's impossible to know. There are too many possibilities, and any guess is possible."

Meng Chuan fell silent again, but then suddenly looked up at Fifth Master, a hint of doubt in his eyes:

"Fifth Master, how did you find out that this secretary sided with Chen Li and then with Shen Yue?"

Those who play double agents will be extremely careful and will never easily leave any evidence against them.

This secretary, who can navigate among the three forces with ease, is clearly no ordinary person.

The fact that Fifth Master was able to find this information in just a few hours made Meng Chuan feel alarmed by the power behind it.

"There's no need to tell you this, but since you asked, I might as well tell you."

Fifth Master said, then asked in return:

Have you ever heard of hackers?

Meng Chuan nodded.

As a young man in the 21st century, he was certainly aware of the existence of hackers.

I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs running away.

"I still have some talented people under my command."

Fifth Master said calmly:

"For example, there are experts like Yingdie, and others who are proficient in technology. Even those who aren't particularly talented have been turned into internet celebrities by you, haven't they?"

Meng Chuan was shocked, and his awe of Fifth Master deepened.

It's truly frightening that a gang leader could keep up with the times and control so many high-end talents and intelligence networks.

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much."

Fifth Master looked at Meng Chuan, his tone carrying a hint of reassurance:

Even if the sky falls, won't I still be there to hold it up?

Fifth Master's words startled Meng Chuan.

That's quite a thought-provoking statement.

My relationship with Fifth Master hasn't reached that level yet, has it?

Judging from Fifth Master's words, he's willing to act as his protector?

What is the purpose?

"Alright, I'm tired too. You can go back now!"
