Li Susu left the villa at Dingyun Lake distraught and found a bar to drown her sorrows with alcohol.

The bastard, how could Jiang Chen be so formidable? He even dared to kill Yue Long... My investment is really going to fail now.

"Hey beauty, are you alone?" Suddenly, a teasing voice sounded, and a young man in formal attire and leather shoes approached Li Susu.

Already annoyed, Li Susu looked up at the young man and retorted coldly, "Trying to hit on me? Do you dare to mess with Yi Chen? If you dare, go ahead; if not, buzz off."

"Yi Chen? You mean Jiang Chen's company, the Yichen Investment?" The young man was surprised.

Li Susu was slightly taken aback, "You know about it?"

"I am Lin Yuechong, the sole heir of the Lin Family, one of the Four Great Aristocratic Families. Do you think I dare to offend Jiang Chen?" The young man said with an air of arrogance.

Li Susu's eyes lit up. The Yue Family was mainly involved in gray business, not in the entertainment industry, but in things like smuggling in foreign trade. Such businesses definitely require a strong show of force. Hence, Jiang Chen's formidable strength would make the Yue Family wary. But the Lin Family... The Lin Family was primarily engaged in finance. For such a family, it should not fear brute force, right?

"Young Master Lin, are you really willing to offend Jiang Chen for me?" Li Susu threw a flirtatious look and leaned closer to Lin Yuechong.

Lin Yuechong smiled slightly and wrapped his arm around Li Susu's slim waist, a smug look flashing in his eyes: "You don't know, do you? Let me tell you, now the Four Great Aristocratic Families are joining forces to deal with Jiang Chen.

That bastard is only good for his fighting skills; he can't compare with us in business matters.

You see, they might be successful in their current investments, but have you noticed? Apart from Sky Venerate City, all of his successful investments are outside of Dingjing. What other investments does he have in Dingjing?

Hmph! That's the doing of us Four Great Aristocratic Families. Soon, we'll chase him out of Dingjing!"

Yichen Company indeed didn't have many significant investments in Dingjing, apart from Sky Venerate City, but this wasn't because they were pressured by the Four Great Aristocratic Families as Lin Yuechong claimed. Rather, it was because there weren't many investment projects in Dingjing that Jiang Chen and Gong Lin found appealing.

Lin Yuechong knew his family would definitely oppress Yi Chen, and this beauty seemed to have a grudge against Yi Chen. So, taking advantage of the situation and flirting with this beauty seemed like a fine idea.

"Is that so!"

Li Susu's eyes flashed with a fierce look as she whispered, "Young Master Lin, I'll tell you, that scoundrel Jiang Chen has offended the Yue Family. But he relied on brute force to send Yue Long running away. If you step in, Jiang Chen certainly won't dare do much. He won't dare to seriously offend two major families at once!"

A gleam flashed in Lin Yuechong's eyes. Li Susu was unaware, but he knew. Despite just having returned from abroad, he heard from his sister Lin Yue'er that Jiang Chen had first offended the Fang Family, then the Zhou Family, and now even the Yue Family. Lin Yuechong couldn't believe that Jiang Chen would dare to further offend their Lin Family.

Although the Four Great Aristocratic Families had made plans against Yi Chen, an all-out confrontation hadn't yet erupted. He couldn't believe Jiang Chen would dare offend his family after already antagonizing the other three families.

"Tell me, how did Jiang Chen beat up Yue Long, and why?" Lin Yuechong looked at Li Susu with keen interest.

Remembering the pitiful state of Yue Long, Li Susu shuddered.

However, she didn't reveal that Jiang Chen had beaten Yue Long to death; she feared scaring away this new refuge. So she leaned into Lin Yuechong's embrace deceptively.

Lin Yuechong didn't notice anything amiss and thought Li Susu was trying to seduce him; he slipped his hand inside her clothes.

Li Susu shuddered again and began to speak with seductive eyes.

In Li Susu's narrative, Jiang Chen became someone who, with the backing of numbers, defeated Chen Weicheng and others and made them feel guilty by pointing out Chen Weicheng's illness, and then sent Yue Long running.

"Are you implying that Jiang Chen hasn't treated Chen Weicheng's illness yet?" Lin Yuechong's eyes gleamed with a crafty look as he thought of something.

Li Susu nodded, "Yes, Jiang Chen hasn't treated him."

"Chen Weicheng's illness can't be delayed any longer. Since Jiang Chen can treat him, Chen Weicheng will definitely need to find Jiang Chen again." Lin Yuechong murmured softly and took out his phone to dial a number: "Keep an eye on Chen Weicheng, I want to know his real-time movements."

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuechong said nothing, just walked towards the bar entrance, holding Li Susu in his arms. Li Susu also didn't say anything, compliantly nestling in Lin Yuechong's embrace, the two understanding each other without words.

...

The next morning, Chen Weicheng, accompanied by Chen Yuanjiang, came to Dingyun Lake Villa once more.

"Does Curator Chen have more business?" Jiang Chen received the two in the living room.

Chen Weicheng placed a gift box on the coffee table, smiling obsequiously, "Mr. Jiang, a modest gift, I hope Mr. Jiang will accept it, and also to apologize for my impoliteness yesterday."

Jiang Chen glanced at the gift box on the table, frowning slightly, from the gift box, he felt a presence that made him very uncomfortable.

He looked up at Chen Weicheng, reached out for the gift, and started unwrapping it on the spot.

Chen Weicheng's complexion slightly changed, such behavior of unwrapping a gift in front of the giver wasn't very polite, unless it was among close friends. However, Chen Weicheng and his son didn't dare say anything.

Upon unpacking, inside was a delicate crown, exuding a chilling presence!

Jiang Chen's expression darkened, and he threw the crown onto the ground.

Crack!

A crisp sound ensued as the crown shattered into pieces.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean by this?" Chen Weicheng's expression changed, furious inside. Although he dared not start a fight with Jiang Chen again, it didn't mean he wasn't angry.

Even if you dislike me, dislike the gift I gave, there was no need to smash it to pieces right in front of me.

Chen Weicheng was so angry he almost turned hostile on the spot.

Jiang Chen just glanced at Chen Weicheng and gestured to the crown fragments on the ground, signaling him to look for himself.

Chen Weicheng and his son were startled, simultaneously turning their heads to look at the crown on the ground.

"This..."

"Ah! What is going on here?"

Chen Yuanjiang exclaimed in shock, and Chen Weicheng was also taken aback, horrified.

Among the fragments of the crown on the ground, there was a blood-stained phalanx bone, emitting a strange presence.

This thing didn't seem to be anything good at a glance!

Chen Weicheng shivered with fright and quickly stood up to bow towards Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, I truly didn't know what this is all about, please believe me!"

"Didn't know? You give me such a fake thing and there's something so sinister hidden in it, are you trying to kill me?" Jiang Chen spoke coldly, staring straight into Chen Weicheng's eyes.
