Ge'er Kusi's heart trembled with shock as he ignored Ge'er Pusi, who was dumbfounded beside him, and announced somewhat incoherently:

"The, the contest is over, Ge'er Yan wins, the family successor, Ge'er Yan!"

"It's finally over! That's exhausting!" Adam Lee pouted.

Jiang Chen looked at Adam Lee with a strange expression: "Exhausted? Weren't you asleep? How are you tired?"

"Of course I'm tired! Sleeping in a chair is nowhere near as comfortable as lying in bed!" Adam Lee said as if it was only natural.

Jiang Chen was speechless for a moment, shaking his head with a smile; this is another comic character just like Lou Qiangqiang!

"Jiang Chen, I'm heading out! Visit the family when you have time!"

Adam Lee got up and bid farewell to Jiang Chen, leaving the conference room without acknowledging anyone else.

The indifferent man nodded to Jiang Chen and stepped out to catch up with Adam Lee.

"We're also leaving now." Jiang Chen informed Ge'er Yan as he got up, leading Yan Hu and the others toward the conference room door, with Bu Langshi and Pu Losi following suit.

There would definitely be several matters for the Ge'er Family to discuss next. Jiang Chen wouldn't stay, as those matters were likely related to him!

Back at the villa, Jiang Chen and his companions gathered in the living room.

"Mr. Jiang, I really didn't expect you…" Pu Losi had a bit of difficulty finding the words, still overwhelmed with strong shock!

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Mr. Pu Losi, I suppose you're not regretting it now, are you?"

Pu Losi paused, chuckling and shaking his head: "I've never thought about regretting it!"

"I thank Mr. Pu Losi on behalf of Ge'er Yan."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "During the competition, you looked over at our row of empty seats several times, you were probably thinking of when you're going to sit there, right?"

"You noticed?" Pu Losi was slightly surprised.

Jiang Chen chuckled and nodded: "Yesterday you declined Ge'er Yan's invitation, yet today you sat there. That alone explains it well enough. However, Mr. Pu Losi, the Royal Family seems to enjoy using themselves as unexpected aces too!"

"Haha! Mr. Jiang, please don't lump me together with Si Mo'er!" Pu Losi said, chuckling lightly.

Only then did Yan Hu and the others realize that Jiang Chen had known all along that Pu Losi would support him—no wonder he wasn't surprised at all when Pu Losi stepped forward.

"Mr. Pu Losi, may I ask you a few questions?" Jiang Chen asked softly, his expression turning serious.

Pu Losi stopped smiling and nodded slightly.

"How much do you know about Grand Duke Si Mo'er?" Jiang Chen's eyes reflected a touch of severity.

Pu Losi furrowed his brow slightly, pondered for a moment, and softly replied, "In the Royal Family, Si Mo'er and I belong to different factions, and this division originally stemmed from the Flame Dragon!"

"Because of the Flame Dragon?!" Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned and looked at Pu Losi, puzzled.

Pu Losi nodded: "When various countries united to attack the previous dynasty of Flame Dragon, my grandfather opposed it, but Si Mo'er's faction held a strong stance. Moreover, at that time, his biological grandmother was in power, leading to the defeat of our faction in that matter."

"Oh, right!"

Pu Losi suddenly remembered something and softly explained: "Si Mo'er and I share the same great-grandfather. My grandfather and Si Mo'er's grandfather were biological brothers."

After explaining the relationship, Pu Losi continued: "After Si Mo'er's biological grandmother passed away, my mother came to power and began to curb Si Mo'er's faction. Over the years, thanks to the death of Si Mo'er's father, we've been able to balance Si Mo'er's influence in the Royal Family's discourse. However, even so, regarding the issue of collaboration with Flame Dragon back then, it was still Si Mo'er's faction that gained the upper hand."

"So the Royal Family never engaged in business cooperation with Flame Dragon because of people like Si Mo'er!" Jiang Chen lightly furrowed his brow.

Pu Losi nodded: "Recently, I heard that Si Mo'er's Feili Group opened a branch company in Flame Dragon's Zhou Yi District, Zhudao City. I took advantage of this trip to investigate the purpose of Xi'er Group, to understand why Si Mo'er, who dislikes Flame Dragon, chose to do this. On the other hand, it was also to investigate Mr. Jiang."

Pu Losi offered a mysterious smile.

"Investigate me?" Jiang Chen was momentarily surprised and looked at Pu Losi, puzzled.

Pu Losi chuckled and said, "Mr. Jiang has quite the flamboyant reputation; all three of your fiancées are stunning beauties."

"Three…" Jiang Chen was confused for a moment before realization struck: "Yu Wan?"

"Exactly! Ya Sha is a fan of Miss Yè Yùwǎn. When Miss Yè held a concert in Dun Lun, I invited her to stay at my house for a few days to fulfill a child's wish. During that time, I heard Mr. Jiang's name multiple times." Pu Losi nodded.

Jiang Chen came to understand and smiled slightly: "It seems even without this contest for Ge'er Family successor, we'd still meet, right?"

"Correct!" Pu Losi laughed: "After concluding my investigation in Flame Dragon, I already intended to reach out to Mr. Jiang, little did I expect to meet here!"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly; no wonder Pu Losi was so resolute in siding with him, even at the expense of opposing Si Mo'er face-to-face.

"As for Si Mo'er, I don't know much. The old fellow is incredibly deep; sometimes, you feel he shouldn't compromise, yet he does…"

Pu Losi shifted the topic back: "And sometimes, matters where he shouldn't intervene, like today's contest, could entirely affect the Royal Family's image, yet he did—this is puzzling. Despite being at odds with us and disliking Flame Dragon, he's always been very concerned about the Royal Family's image!"

Jiang Chen's expression grew solemn, as he harbored a suspicion—if things were indeed as he suspected, then perhaps…

"Is Grand Duke Si Mo'er closely connected to Ge'er Pusi?"

Jiang Chen asked with a frown. He hoped his suspicion wasn't true, as an influential Grand Duke of Y Country's Royal Family would greatly complicate things, reaching beyond mere family matters, requiring a cautious approach—one not solvable simply through elimination.

Should Grand Duke Si Mo'er be harmed, the ensuing chain reaction would be incredibly frightening!

Pu Losi pondered for a moment, then gently shook his head: "He isn't closely connected to Ge'er Pusi. However, he was romantically involved with Ge'er Pusi's mother, Na Lita, during their younger days."

"Romantically involved?!"

Jiang Chen's eyes widened in surprise, and his heart skipped a beat. Various signs pointed toward his earlier suspicion, causing Jiang Chen to grow genuinely worried!

Is an all-out brawl about to occur within the Royal Family of Y Country?!
