Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"Shadow Butterfly, how much do you know about your origins?"

Meng Chuan suddenly asked Ying Die.

Meng Chuan only knew that Ying Die had been trained as an assassin since childhood.

Meng Chuan had never asked about Ying Die's background.

Meng Chuan's sudden question caused Ying Die to pause slightly in her actions.

She looked up, her eyes filled with confusion:

“Young Master, why do you suddenly ask this? All I know is that I grew up in an assassin organization and was later rescued by Fifth Master. Other than that… I know nothing.”

She lowered her eyes, a hint of melancholy in her voice:

"Sometimes I wonder who my biological parents are, whether I was abandoned or abducted by an Arctic fox..."

Before meeting Meng Chuan, Ying Die had never thought about such a question.

I know that Yingdie returned to Mengchuan's hometown for the first time and met Mengchuan's parents.

She suddenly realized she really wanted to know who her biological parents were.

However, after all these years, even the Green Gang's intelligence system has been unable to find anything.

She herself had even less chance of finding him in the vast sea of ​​people.

Seeing Yingdie's slightly forlorn expression, Meng Chuan opened his mouth.

In the end, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Fifth Master's dying words still echo in my ears.

He couldn't easily reveal the secret of Yingdie's background; at least, it wasn't the right time yet.

In fact, Meng Chuan could tell that Fifth Master also had some feelings for that Thousand-Faced Asura.

Even if it's not love, it's definitely not ordinary friendship.

Otherwise, Fifth Master wouldn't have instructed Meng Chuan to avoid revealing Ying Die's identity as much as possible.

Fifth Master hoped that the existence of Shadow Butterfly would give Thousand-Faced Asura the desire to live.

"I'll try to look for it for you again when I have the chance!"

Meng Chuan sighed and continued:

"Go and contact Robert. His stake in Goldman Sachs will be settled in the next couple of days."

"Also, I need to make some arrangements. I'll meet with the person in charge at Rothschild tomorrow."

These matters must be handled before Fifth Master's funeral.

Otherwise, unforeseen circumstances could easily arise.

This was also something Fifth Master entrusted to Meng Chuan before his death, and Meng Chuan had to handle it properly.

This can be considered an explanation to Fifth Master.

"Okay! Don't touch your wound for the next two days."

Yingdie nodded, carefully explained some precautions to Meng Chuan, and then got up and left.

After Yingdie left, Meng Chuan sat quietly in the room.

Fifth Master's passing was rather sudden.

However, his funeral arrangements must be handled meticulously.

Otherwise, Meng Chuan's intention in presenting the information in advance would have been wasted.

However, this is something that definitely needs to be discussed and decided by everyone.

Even if Meng Chuan is the young master, he cannot make a decision on his own.

Fifth Master is not just his Fifth Master, but everyone's Fifth Master.

As time went by, all the guests gradually began to leave.

Alice and Elon Ma originally wanted to meet with Meng Chuan privately.

However, Meng Chuan refused all their calls.

Now is not the time to talk about personal relationships with them.

Even as night fell, the Green Gang headquarters remained brightly lit.

Meng Chuan suppressed his complex emotions and instructed Zhan Qi to notify Prince Fu, Prince Bi, and all the hall masters to convene an emergency meeting.

Since it was rare for all the hall masters to gather together, Meng Chuan still felt it was necessary to hold a meeting.

The atmosphere in the conference room was heavy. Everyone sat around a long table, their eyes all focused on Meng Chuan.

They all knew about Fifth Master's passing.

Because all the hall masters were arranged by Fifth Master.

Their loyalty to Fifth Master has stood the test of time.

Therefore, there is no need to keep it from them.

However, Bi Wang was not present.

King Bi did not attend this meeting.

However, no one found Bi Wang's personality surprising.

Bi Wangxian came alone.

He rarely got involved in managing the Green Gang's affairs.

"Gentlemen, Prince Bi should still be grieving the passing of Fifth Master, so we will not wait for him."

Meng Chuan sat in the head seat and said in a deep voice:

"According to Fifth Master's last wishes, the funeral will be held in three days."

"During this period, we must maintain stability within the Green Gang and prevent outsiders from noticing anything amiss."

Meng Chuan glanced around, his voice steady and powerful:

"Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts on the arrangements for Fifth Master's funeral."

Meng Chuan genuinely didn't understand some of the Green Gang's traditions.

Meng Chuan would definitely need to listen to everyone's opinions on this matter.

Zhan Yi, the leader of the Zhan Hall, was the first to stand up and say:

"Young Master, Fifth Master has been incredibly kind to us. This funeral must be held in grand style so that everyone in the underworld knows that the Green Gang will never forget Fifth Master's contributions!"

"That's right!"

Others echoed:

"We also need to invite prominent figures from both the legitimate and criminal worlds to demonstrate the status of our Green Gang."

Prince Fu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"While the scale of the funeral is important, the Green Gang is currently facing internal and external troubles, and the young master has just taken over. We must be even more vigilant against other forces taking the opportunity to cause trouble. Security must be strengthened, and there can be no lapses."

A well-off-looking middle-aged man also stood up and agreed:

“What Prince Fu said is absolutely right. In addition, regarding the Goldman Sachs matter, Young Master should take care of it first, and we also need to arrange negotiations with the Rothschild family as soon as possible.”

Meng Chuan knew him; he was the head of the Green Gang's Money Hall.

He was primarily responsible for the Green Gang's finances.

He was in charge of the finances of all the companies under the Green Gang.

He was the one who distributed the monthly allowances to everyone in the Green Gang.

Those who know him well call him Lao Qian (Old Qian).

However, he also had a nickname in the Green Gang: God of Wealth.

"These two matters were also entrusted to me by Fifth Master before his death, and I have already asked Yingdie to handle them. Today, we will mainly discuss Fifth Master's funeral arrangements."

Meng Chuan nodded and said.

Then everyone started talking at once, and the meeting lasted a long time, with everyone expressing their opinions until late at night before it finally ended.

Meng Chuan rubbed his temples and dragged his tired body back to his room.

It seems being the leader of the Green Gang is really not an easy job!

Although Meng Chuan is only the young master now and has not yet been officially crowned.

But Meng Chuan already felt that dealing with it was very tedious.

"Fifth Master also said that the Green Gang has its own operating system. What a load of rubbish. He just wanted to trick me into becoming the young master."

Meng Chuan thought to himself, "This is what I'm complaining about."

However, when Meng Chuan pushed open the door, he saw Ying Die sitting on the edge of the bed.

Only a dim yellow light was on in the room, casting a long shadow of her.

"Why are you back?"

Meng Chuan was taken aback.

"I am your martial attendant, why can't I come back?"

Yingdie raised her head and looked at him calmly.

Meng Chuan immediately felt a jolt of alarm in his mind, and his pupils contracted slightly.

That statement is really off!

In private, Yingdie never referred to herself as a "martial attendant".

Whenever they were in the room, she always tried her best to play the role of a wife, being gentle and considerate.

At this moment, Yingdie's tone and expression conveyed a sense of unfamiliar estrangement.

Meng Chuan instantly took half a step back, his eyes wary.

"Are you Black Widow?"

As soon as Meng Chuan said those words, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

The atmosphere became tense.

"Since you saw through me, you're dead."
