Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Elder Brother Chen Jiutian!_1

In the car, Chen Jiuzheng still felt anxious and irritable. Now that even the inspection team had emerged, he had no desire to go elsewhere and told the driver to head home directly.

Halfway there, he received a phone call.

The calling number surprised and delighted him.

Chen Jiuzheng hurriedly answered, his face bright with joy and his voice respectful, "Brother, how do you have the time to call me?"

Chen Jiuzheng was composed and authoritative in front of others. Taking this call, he had none of that aura.

The reason was simple. Compared to his elder brother, whether in terms of capabilities or status, he fell far short, and moreover, he greatly respected his sibling.

"I happen to be passing through Zhongjing and wanted to see you. I’m at your place right now. Come home, and let’s, as brothers, catch up properly," said the voice on the phone, very gentle.

"Alright, I’m on my way. I’ll be there shortly!" Chen Jiuzheng laughed.

Having hung up the phone, Chen Jiuzheng repeatedly urged the driver to go faster.

He had too much on his plate recently, especially concerning Bai Xiaosheng, which was driving him to distraction.

Chen Jiuzheng was also thinking of discussing things with his elder brother and listening to his advice.

Rushing back to his villa, he got out of the car and almost jogged from the garage to the living room.

Upon entering, he instantly saw the familiar figure with slicked-back hair and a slightly plump build.

Hearing the noise behind him, the person also slowly turned around, still with a smile in his eyes.

"Brother!" Chen Jiuzheng said with emotion.

"Jiuzheng!" The other’s gaze held a certain serenity.

The Chen brothers had been very close since childhood, but as middle age approached, they saw each other less and less.

Upon reuniting, their affection was evident and genuine, with brotherly love and respect for one another.

If Bai Xiaosheng were to see Chen Jiuzheng’s elder brother, he would certainly be astonished.

It was none other than Chen Jiutian!

General Manager of the Greater China Region, East China District!

His son, Chen Feng, had been terribly duped by Bai Xiaosheng in Lu Yun’s separate villa estate and almost had his appearance ruined...

Speaking of which, it really was bad luck how the Chen brothers kept running into Bai Xiaosheng, the jinx...

At the moment, Chen Jiuzheng looked at Chen Jiutian, who appeared much leaner and with a faint weariness between his brows.

It seems my brother has been busy lately!

Chen Jiuzheng mused, quickly inviting Chen Jiutian to sit down. He personally brewed a fresh pot of good tea, ready to have a meaningful catch-up with his brother.

Recently, Chen Jiutian had indeed been incredibly busy.

His trusted confidant in Tiannan, Wang Ye, had not only gotten himself into legal trouble but had also attracted the attention of higher-ups.

Although Chen Jiutian held a powerful position, he couldn’t afford to be careless. He was busy clearing away everyone and everything related to Wang Ye, not sparing even the slightest connection to himself!

Beyond that, the fact that Wang Ye had deceived even him made Chen Jiutian vigilant!

Chen Jiutian’s trips across several provinces—ostensibly to inspect local industries—were actually to sift through his confidants one by one, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"A cautious approach ensures lasting safety," was Chen Jiutian’s motto. Although he seemed cheerful all the time, there were truly few things that made him smile genuinely.

Now, upon seeing his own brother, Chen Jiutian could smile sincerely from his heart.

The brothers sat opposite each other and couldn’t stop chatting.

They talked about everything from amusing childhood tales to the trivial matters of family and life.

"Brother, why didn’t Xiaofeng come with you?" Chen Jiuzheng felt somewhat longing for his nephew.

"He went abroad to clear his mind," Chen Jiutian said.

Chen Feng has been in a rather poor mood these past few months; a change of scenery would do him good.

"Which country did he go to? His aunt and brothers are in the UK, and I have a little ranch over there. When he has the time, I should ask my dear nephew to relax there. The new batch of wine will be ready soon too," Chen Jiuzheng said with a smile.

It was all fine until the wine was mentioned, and at that, Chen Jiutian became irritable and let out a sigh.

This change in expression didn’t escape Chen Jiuzheng’s notice, prompting his surprise, "What’s wrong, brother?"

"Your dear nephew was bullied by some brat in Tiannan, got nearly disfigured. These past few months, he hasn’t stopped drinking, almost drowned himself in the cup, hmph, useless!" Chen Jiutian snorted coldly.

"Who dares to bully my nephew! This can’t be tolerated!" Chen Jiuzheng’s eyes sharpened, but then he smiled, "Surely, that kid must have met a miserable fate."

Chen Jiuzheng was certain of it.

His elder brother had only one precious son, leaving all his vast fortune for the next generation. If Chen Feng so much as lost a single hair, anyone who dared offend him would never have it easy!

As he thought this, he noticed Chen Jiutian’s face darkening, a look of brooding settling on his features.

"Miserable? He damn well made me miserable!" Chen Jiutian gritted his teeth in anger.

Wang Ye, the poor bastard, clearly couldn’t escape blame for his demise in prison, but the one who brought everything to light, sending Wang Ye away, was Bai Xiaosheng! He also managed to disgust me thoroughly in the process, keeping me busy for months. So many of my trusted people, more than a quarter, gone!

Afterward, he discovered that Bai Xiaosheng had vanished, as if he had disappeared into thin air.

Chen Jiutian had never been at such a loss, swindled by someone and then unable to find them for revenge.

If it weren’t for Bai Xiaosheng’s high-profile ways, I’d truly think the kid was from the inspection team...

Chen Jiutian’s eyes hardened.

If that kid really is from the inspection team, and I run into him again, I’ll make sure he won’t get away easily, I’ll peel off his skin!

Chen Jiutian was fierce, his usually smiling demeanor growing increasingly ferocious.

Chen Jiuzheng, watching him, was taken aback.

"Who made you so miserable?" Chen Jiuzheng asked incredulously, quickly adding, "What kind of background do they have?"

"Someone from within the group," Chen Jiutian snorted.

Chen Jiuzheng was even more incredulous, his eyes widening, "In East China, within the group, were they from the Affairs Department, or the inspection team... To leave you, my elder brother, in such straits, could it be a high-ranking Affairs Officer? Or perhaps someone from the first echelon of the inspection team!"

Mentioning these figures, Chen Jiuzheng couldn’t help but adopt a serious demeanor, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Chen Jiutian was the greatest pillar of support for the Chen Family!

As for Chen Jiuzheng, merely a regional industry head, he held a high position and vast authority, with thousands dependent on his favor. As the regional manager of the East China District overseeing eight provinces and cities, his real power was second only to one within the Greater China Region, even high-ranking Affairs Officers couldn’t match him in terms of actual authority.

Who could put him in such a predicament!

The ones who could were certainly not insignificant figures, Chen Jiuzheng couldn’t help but feel alarmed.

"Hmph, don’t look at me like that." Chen Jiutian, annoyed, snorted, "He’s just a little leech, not worth the bother to squash! If it weren’t for some concerns, I wouldn’t have been so restrained. It appears the ancients were right, even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it must use all its strength. Otherwise, a small ditch can capsize a large vessel!"

Chen Jiutian said this, leaving Chen Jiuzheng momentarily stunned.

What kind of insignificant person could make his own brother suffer such a setback!

"But you’re right, some seemingly insignificant flies might turn out to be venomous ones!" Thinking of Bai Xiaosheng, Chen Jiuzheng agreed, unable to resist asking, "What’s the kid’s name?"

"You wouldn’t know him if I told you," Chen Jiutian said coldly, "Some little bastard named Bai Xiaosheng, now vanished without a trace! Probably can’t find him anymore!"

After Chen Jiutian finished speaking, he suddenly saw his brother looking as if thunderstruck, staring at him in disbelief.

"You mean Bai Xiaosheng?!"
