At the station, Su Chen and several others got off the train.

The four of them slowly walked out of the station amidst the bustling crowd, gazing at this magical city that seemed to belong to a different world.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh.

“Every time I come here, I always have some different feelings. This place is really nice. Your foreign girl in the cheongsam, she is really resistant to the cold.”

"..."

Hearing this, Su Chen rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Soon, the two cars stopped in front of Su Chen and the others. Mrs. Xu, wearing a mink coat, looked at Su Chen.

"Chief Su, please get in the car."

"it is good."

Su Chen nodded and got into the car.

Head towards the antique shop you've chosen.

Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle, and Black-backed Old Six sat in the back car, while Su Chen and Mrs. Xu sat in the front.

After arriving at the villa, Su Chen and Mrs. Xu had a private talk, while the others began to stroll around.

However, the atmosphere for discussing serious matters at this moment felt a little off.

Mrs. Xu leaned against Su Chen, her slender hand slowly brushing across his thigh, but Su Chen stopped her from going up.

Seeing her like this, Su Chen asked with a smile.

"When I received the news, I thought the antique shop was in a hurry, but I didn't expect it was you who was in a hurry."

"They haven't seen you for a month, can't they even miss you?"

Mrs. Xu said with a hint of resentment. If eyes could speak, Su Chen would have heard Mrs. Xu's plaintive complaints right now.

Fortunately, he couldn't understand it.

Since he had neglected her, Su Chen promised to treat her well later before inquiring about her current situation.

"So what exactly is the trouble?"

"You know that Shanghai is different from other places. In terms of prosperity, it is far superior to Beijing. Naturally, the forces here are a mixed bag. Before the New Year, a stevedore accidentally saw Mingqi and spread the news, which aroused the jealousy of others."

At this point, Mrs. Xu was also a little troubled. She had already made all the arrangements. As long as she waited for the auction house to open, she could send out a batch of antiques at a low price and that would be enough to establish a foothold.

But just then, the news leaked, and these antiques, worth tens of millions of dollars, immediately became the envy of many.

Whether the leak was intentional or a coincidence, the antique shop, which should have opened smoothly, encountered one obstacle after another.

After getting a general idea of ​​what had happened, Su Chen frowned habitually, and his hand, which was inside his mink coat, tightened slightly.

The lovely woman in his arms gave a soft, slightly reproachful hum and gently punched him.

Su Chen exerted a little force with his fingertips, restraining Mrs. Xu before asking the question.

"Last time I came here in a hurry, I didn't have time to find out what forces are involved here now."

“Du Hun of the Green Gang, Rong Jinhuang of the Chamber of Commerce, Lin Xingping of the underworld, and then there were more than a dozen others such as Zou Liang, He Yi, Li Zhuang, and Wang Hu.”

Mrs. Xu gazed at him with alluring eyes, and she seemed somewhat moved.

But he still spoke quite seriously about everything he knew.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Good heavens!" He knew that the nine powerful forces in Changsha City were already astonishing enough, but this place was even more so, with twenty different groups of people in total.

Among them are also some smugglers and drug traffickers.

When the conversation turned to serious matters, Su Chen pulled his hand away and asked somewhat seriously.

"Who has taken a liking to the antique shop?"

"All."

Mrs. Xu glared at him resentfully, then pulled her hands into her bosom, trying to release the pent-up desire she had been harboring, and said...

Su Chen thought he had misheard, so he simply let go and allowed Mrs. Xu to make her demands, while asking a question.

"all?"

"Well, Su Tian is probably having a headache right now. Tonight, those forces will invite him over to discuss how to divide up the antique business."

Mrs. Xu, thinking of what had happened today, couldn't help but speak up and offer a reminder.

Su Chen was stunned for a moment before realizing that these guys were even more greedy than he had thought.

Or rather, once these guys discovered that the antique business was profitable, what they wanted was no longer the antique business itself, but their own power and influence; they wanted to take over all the channels they controlled.

Mrs. Xu couldn't hold back any longer and pinned Su Chen down.

As the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly intimate, Mrs. Xu responded, panting.

"Actually, among these forces, there are only three that we should really care about: Du Hun, Rong Jinhuang, and Lin Xingping. They are the truly powerful figures. The rest are just opportunists who want to get a share of the pie."

"Only by convincing these three people can this antique business proceed."

After all this commotion, Su Chen finally understood the current situation.

He will deal with the Su family soon; it's better to handle things here quickly and decisively.

However, before he could deal with these matters, he first had to feed the gold-devouring behemoth in front of him.

After spending two hours taming the wild horse, Su Chen lay down on the bed to rest.

Mrs. Xu's face was flushed with satisfaction, and her fingertips kept drawing circles on his body. She had clearly tasted the sweetness and was not quite satisfied.

However, if she continued like this, it would harm her health. Su Chen got up, dressed, and prepared to go find Su Tian.

Mrs. Xu lay in bed, feeling somewhat reluctant to leave.

"How about we just forget about it? I'll take you to Europe?"

"What did you say?"

"Du Hun, Rong Jinhuang, and Lin Xingping are known as the three tycoons of Shanghai. When they join forces, no one in Shanghai can deal with them."

Mrs. Xu said with a hint of helplessness.

It was because she understood them that she realized how terrible this situation was.

Besides, he couldn't bear to let Su Chen die now, so it would be better for her to sell all the money and run away with Su Chen.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the person in front of her was like a lion with its eyes open, glancing at her sideways.

With just one glance, Mrs. Xu felt as if she were suffocating.

Su Chen spoke with a serious expression.

"Everything else is negotiable, but this is the only thing that's not negotiable."

"Now that they see me as a piece of meat, they naturally won't let me leave. As for leaving, that's even more impossible. Either they'll eat me, or I'll have to break a tooth."

Su Chen knew very well that since these guys had teamed up, they wouldn't give him a chance to leave the table, and he only had one option left: to deal with them.

"Don't say that again, or don't blame me for disowning you."

Mrs. Xu nodded like a fangirl, finding Su Chen increasingly charming.

I like Su Chen even more now.
