Chapter 543: Chapter 544 I’m Really Not Great!_1

"Azhi’s matter has been settled, next, we need to focus on that Mr. Satan."

Xiao Chen’s eyes gradually became serious.

Back in Tianhai City, Hong Yi was already waiting for him at home.

"Boss, there’s new progress on the intelligence you asked to investigate!

I’ve sent the specific details to your secure email,"

Hong Yi said.

Xiao Chen opened his computer, looked at the information in the email, and frowned slightly, "Your work isn’t quite up to par.

This intelligence seems to reveal nothing."

Hong Yi said sheepishly, "It’s my fault for not handling things well. This Satan is more terrifying than we imagined. Nobody apart from his closest confidants knows his identity.

Indeed, we’re not even sure if Satan is one person, several people, or an organization.

Boss, you’ve read Gu Long’s novels, haven’t you? There are cases where several people share one name.

Of course, that’s just speculation.

Maybe Satan is not just one person."

"Whether he’s one person or several, what I want is to narrow down the scope."

Xiao Chen said, "Alright, no need to feel guilty. I don’t blame you. Satan has hidden for so many years, how could he possibly be so easily uncovered by you?

Keep looking, no rush. The one who’s in a hurry now is him.

The closer we get to the north, the closer we get to his lair, which will affect his overall setup. He’s bound to slip up!

By the way, did you get any useful intelligence from Li Yulong?"

Hong Yi shook her head, "Nothing significant. Li Yulong has never met the mastermind behind the scenes.

He has only vaguely heard the person he was in contact with often mention a title ’Lord Qian’, beyond that, there’s nothing else."

"Hmm, I thought it wouldn’t be so easy to find out.

But the video of that day’s fight was recorded, wasn’t it? Find time to go to Shi Family Village and have Shi Xingfan take a look.

He might be able to figure something out.

He’s a real master of the Martial Dao, unlike me. I’m a pragmatist; my fighting has never been about routines and techniques.

He’s different, he has proficiency in hand-to-hand combat and knows various martial arts styles.

He might start from the hand-to-hand techniques shown, at the very least, we could know where they come from. Bit by bit, there’s bound to be some harvest,"

Xiao Chen thought aloud.

"Understood!"

Hong Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up. The boss was truly the boss, easily pinpointing the crux of the issue.

"I’ll head to Shi Family Village right now."

"You’ve worked hard!"

Xiao Chen said.

The journey from Tianhai City to Shi Family Village was not short.

"The boss jests. My sister and I were once mere tools for murder in someone else’s hands. Now that we can do something meaningful, it’s like atoning for our sins.

We have nothing to complain about; doing these things allows us to sleep with a clear conscience,"

Hong Yi said with a smile.

"It doesn’t matter what you were in the past; now you are my sisters of the Xiao Family, so take good care of yourselves! It’s important to get the job done, but it’s more important not to come to harm,"

Xiao Chen said.

"Yes!"

Hong Yi nodded firmly.

For her and Ziyi, following Xiao Chen was like finding a new life, not only clawing their way out of the filthy quagmire.

But also finding an opportunity for redemption and a purpose in life.

She didn’t care about being respected and appreciated; what she cared about more was peace of mind and a good night’s sleep.

Now, everything was steadily being realized, even better than she imagined.

Anyone from the Xiao Family of Jiangnan walking on the streets is sure to be greeted with cheers and respectful gazes.

They might not be good people, but they didn’t want to be bad people.

Most people are just ordinary; they simply want to live on and find a purpose in life.

Now, under Xiao Chen’s guidance, they had found it.

They could not only survive, but also live a splendid life.

Xiao Chen’s thoughts weren’t much different from these people.

Great?

He never considered himself great; everything he did was driven by selfish motives, for revenge!

For his wife!

He was tired of that kind of cutthroat environment; he hoped that the world could be a bit fairer, a bit better.

Not for others, but for himself, for his family, for his dearest wife.

Those who benefited from his actions were merely helped along the way.

What seemed great to others was, to him, simply doing a good deed conveniently.

After sending Ziyi away, Xiao Chen had a good sleep.

Not because his body was tired, but because his heart was.

The death of Wang Zhi had put him in a bad mood, and a sleep helped to ease that somewhat.

When he woke up, it was already eight in the evening.

Yet Jiang Meng and Liu Xin hadn’t returned home.

"Old Master Jiang, haven’t they finished work yet?"

Xiao Chen went outside and saw Old Master Jiang also dealing with some documents, and he couldn’t help but ask.

"Not yet!"

Old Master Jiang replied without turning his head.

Even though charity work doesn’t significantly propel a company forward.

Xinmeng Group had persisted with this from the start, even in the face of furious attacks from the Menghua Corporation, they didn’t give up.

Other things could be set aside, could be retreated from, but charity work must continue.

This was Jiang Meng’s final decision during a high-level meeting, facing the skepticism of several executives.

The company needed such a leader.

She didn’t need to be hands-on with everything, but she had to be the helmsman, pointing the company in the right direction.

Xiao Chen left the house and drove towards the company.

He was not happy!

Very unhappy!

Because his wife and mother-in-law were simply too tired!

Although Xinmeng Group was currently facing a heavy siege from Menghua Corporation and had suffered great losses.

Even the hard-won Shencheng City market had been lost.

Reluctantly, it was sold to someone else.

Because if the battle line was too drawn out, it would be directly broken by Menghua Corporation.

Xinmeng Group had now completely contracted their defenses.

Fortified with Jiangnan Prefecture, Jiangbei Prefecture, Jiangyuan Prefecture, and Tianhai City as their strongholds, they were resisting the powerful Menghua Corporation.

Menghua Corporation could call the shots everywhere else.

But once they came to these four places, they wilted.

Almost nothing could infiltrate, no breeze could penetrate here.

Of course, Xinmeng Group wasn’t just passively defending.

In these four areas, all of Menghua Corporation’s related industries had been taken down or crushed.

Originally, Xinmeng Group wasn’t so aggressive, but since the war with Menghua Corporation had begun, there was no need for niceties.

Menghua Corporation’s industries in these four places were either seized by Xinmeng Group or they had to be sold off cheaply and reluctantly.

In these places, no one was willing to cooperate with Menghua Corporation anymore.

Even a mighty dragon can’t oppress the local snake.

Menghua Corporation was indeed a mighty dragon, but when it came to Xiao Family’s turf in Jiangnan, it had to lie low.

In fact, overall, Xinmeng Group’s output value not only hadn’t decreased but had actually increased.

The attacks from Menghua Corporation hadn’t created a real impact and instead had provoked Xinmeng Group, leading to their considerable losses.
