After leaving the meeting room, Jiang Chen, Elder Master Jiang, Jiang Minglou, Jiang Mingcheng and others went to Jiang Chen's attic.

Introducing Zhu Yan and Jincheng to Shen Xiaoqin and Ye Jingyi, they all went upstairs together. Jiang Chen and his three companions sat around in the living room, but the whereabouts of Jiang Yuqing and the other two were unknown.

"Chen'er, Jiang Minghui has started to consolidate the company's shares," said Elder Master Jiang with a trace of guilt on his face. He should have realized this sooner. After all, Jiang Chen had just returned and couldn't have noticed something like this.

"Grandfather, let me ask you, how exactly are Longteng's shares distributed?" Jiang Chen asked with a solemn expression, looking earnestly at Elder Master Jiang.

Elder Master Jiang spoke gravely, "Longteng's shares are 30% on the stock market, and 70% are held by six people. Currently, you hold 30%, Jiang Minghui has 20%, and the remaining 20% is split into four equal parts among Jiang Mingqian, Jiang Mingkun, Ming Lou, and Ming Cheng. However, Ming Lou and Ming Cheng cannot own shares due to work reasons, so now they are in Yu Qing's and Yuling's hands."

Bang bang bang!

Just as Elder Master Jiang finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Jiang Chen frowned and said with a stern voice, "Come in!"

Click!

The attic door opened, and Manzi walked in.

"Elder Master, Young Master Chen, Young Master Ming Lou, Young Master Ming Cheng, Manzi is here to accept punishment," Manzi bowed to the group, his expression filled with remorse as he looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was somewhat stunned and looked at Manzi in surprise, "Accept punishment? What punishment are you here to accept?"

"Some guards took action against Young Master Chen; I failed in my oversight!" Manzi looked at Jiang Chen, his face full of apology.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback and then chuckled, "I thought it was something else. This matter...indeed bears your responsibility."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen said seriously, "Manzi, listen carefully. As a punishment, I want you to use the guards close to you to covertly monitor the movements of Jiang Minghui and his guards. You don't need to talk to them, but I want you to be fully aware of their whereabouts to prevent such incidents from happening again."

"Yes!" Manzi nodded emphatically, waiting for further instructions.

"You know what to do, why don't you go?" Jiang Chen spoke softly.

"Just, just like that?" Manzi looked at Jiang Chen, surprised.

Jiang Chen said irritably, "What else do you want? Just handle this matter well, that's enough. We have some issues to discuss, so get busy!"

"Yes!" Manzi glanced gratefully at Jiang Chen and turned to leave the attic, clear in his mind that Jiang Chen had let him off easy.

As Manzi left, just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, there was another knock at the door.

"Come in!" Jiang Chen looked towards the door with puzzlement.

Click!

The door opened, and Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yuling walked in.

"Yu Qing, Yuling, is there something the matter?" Jiang Chen asked the two with confusion, and Elder Master Jiang and the others also wore expressions of bewilderment.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I made a decision without consulting with you," Jiang Yuqing said, looking earnestly at Jiang Minglou.

"Dad, I did too!" Jiang Yuling also looked seriously at Jiang Mingcheng.

Jiang Minglou and Jiang Mingcheng exchanged glances, both looking at Jiang Yuqing with surprise in their eyes, revealing a questioning look.

Jiang Yuqing also exchanged a glance, then together they moved beside Jiang Chen, placing a document in front of him.

"Cousin, this is the stock transfer agreement. These are the 5% shares of Longteng Group that Yuling and I each hold, and now they are all yours!" Jiang Yuqing said with a light laugh, looking at Jiang Chen.

"This..." Jiang Chen paused for a moment, looking puzzled at Jiang Yuqing.

Jiang Minglou and Jiang Mingcheng were surprised for a moment, then their faces showed relieved smiles.

Elder Master Jiang looked at Jiang Yuqing and burst into happy laughter, thinking to himself that not everyone in the Jiang Family was blind after all!

"Although we haven't known you for long, Cousin, we both feel that you're more reliable than Jiang Minghui. We're willing to take a gamble on you!" Jiang Yuqing said with a light chuckle.

Jiang Yuling pouted slightly, speaking reluctantly, "Cousin, you have to return them to us after you're done using them, okay? That's a lot of money, and if those shares are gone, so is my pocket money. You can't let us lose this bet!"

"Haha! Don't worry, win or lose, I'll cover your pocket money from now on!" Jiang Chen burst into laughter.

"Alright, if you're taking care of my and Yu Feng's pocket money, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose!" Jiang Yuling laughed and spoke.

"Haha!"

"Haha..."

Elder Master Jiang and others laughed out loud.

After asking Jiang Yuqing to sit down, Jiang Chen spoke seriously, "Uncle Minglou, Uncle Mingcheng, please take Yuqing, Yuling, and Yu Feng away for a while. Come back after the ancestral worship assessment."

"What? Are you worried that Jiang Minghui will strike against us?" Jiang Minglou asked with a slight frown.

Jiang Chen spoke gravely, "You can never be too careful!"

"Minglou, Chen'er is right. You should leave for a while. After all, with your status, you can't help either. You might not be afraid, and Jiang Minghui wouldn't dare to touch you, but I can't say the same for those three. If Jiang Minghui really went crazy, I fear there's no one he wouldn't dare to move against, except for me," Elder Master Jiang advised as well.

Jiang Minglou exchanged a serious glance with the others, then nodded heavily, "Okay, we'll leave first and come back after the ancestral worship assessment. Jiang Chen, you need to be careful too. We're not worried about Elder Master Jiang—Jiang Minghui doesn't have the guts to touch him, but you, you could be in danger!"

Jiang Chen gave a slight smile, "Don't worry. I won't go out during this time. No matter how daring Jiang Minghui is, he can't blatantly make a move here, can he?"

"Well... okay, that's one way to do it. Although this means you can't gather your own connections, it's... a necessary move!" Jiang Minglou sighed.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Uncle Minglou, don't worry, really. I'm confident about the ancestral worship assessment, rest assured!"

"Good, as long as you have that confidence!" Jiang Minglou replied, but concern still lingered in his eyes.

Jiang Chen knew they didn't believe him, but he didn't argue further.

After discussing some more, Jiang Minglou and the others left the attic.

The Jiang Family was momentarily stabilized, at least on the surface, but the situation with Jincheng and the Wang Family became chaotic!

Yi Chen Group suddenly made a move into Jincheng, directly challenging the Wang Family's enterprises. Just as the Wang Family was preparing to deal with Yi Chen Group, the Gong Family suddenly appeared, heavily suppressing the Wang Family.

Zhang Family's eldest son, Zhang Wenjie, declared his intention to teach Wang Shiming a lesson, wildly utilizing his resources to launch a kamikaze attack against the Wang Family. The Meng Family's young miss adopted a petulant attitude, claiming she found Wang Shichong unbearable and launched a fierce attack on the Wang Family!

This development shook all the major families in Jincheng. What was going on? Was Yi Chen colluding with the Gong Family, Zhang Family, and Meng Family to swallow the Wang Family?
