Chapter 703: Chapter 704 Zhou Family Took the Blame Again_1

The injured were sent to the hospital for treatment first.

Guan Hu reported the incident to Xiao Chen, whose expression was less than pleased.

To be honest, he would have preferred losing the building materials to losing a brother.

Zhang Qi had followed him from Linhai all this time, through all the ups and downs. If anything serious happened, he really wouldn’t know what to do.

It would be so heartbreaking.

Thankfully, nothing unexpected happened this time.

He didn’t even care about the return of the building materials and went straight to the hospital to visit his injured brothers.

"Boss, don’t look so somber. We’ve been prepared for the hardships since the day we started following you.

We were always ready to make sacrifices.

Aren’t you the same?

This is just a case of ’what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’!"

Zhang Qi seemed to take things in stride.

Indeed, he hadn’t followed Xiao Chen for all this time for nothing.

"Alright, enough talk. You just focus on recovering. Now, the building materials are back in Blue Sea. Both the car factory and the pharmaceutical factory have resumed operations.

This is all thanks to you, and each of you will get a ’injury subsidy’ of one million."

There were a good dozen people injured this time.

All of them had been injured by the same person.

Zhang Qi was the most seriously injured, nearly losing his life.

One million might not be much for Xiao Chen, but for these people, it was still a substantial amount of money.

"Also, the medical expenses will all be covered by Tianxing Company, so you don’t have to worry about them."

You can’t let heroes bleed and weep, right?

At this moment, the building materials had been returned to Xinmeng Group.

Ilana had actually gone there too.

She couldn’t see Xiao Chen anywhere and was dissatisfied.

"Didn’t you say your husband was going to find a way to deal with the building materials? Now that they’re back, why isn’t there a single sign of him?"

Ilana said to Jiang Meng, "What do you need a man like that for? What can he do besides eat, drink, and be merry all day?

I really don’t understand why your mother always praises him.

And you, are you really content with spending your life with such a man?"

Jiang Meng was truly getting annoyed. She looked at Ilana and said, "Auntie, can we not talk about Xiao Chen anymore? Even if he lives off his wife for the rest of his life, I’ll take care of him.

That’s between him and me.

I don’t mind it, so please don’t worry about it.

I know you mean well for me and for our family, but it’s hard for a judge to decide domestic affairs. Just pretend I’m foolish, okay?"

Jiang Meng didn’t want to take the conversation to this level once or twice.

But after repeated criticisms of her husband from Ilana, Jiang Meng couldn’t take it anymore.

In her heart, besides her mother, her husband was the most important person in the world.

She would not allow anyone to slander him.

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking about it, okay?"

Ilana felt she might have gone too far and simply shut her mouth.

This person was actually well-intentioned; she truly wanted what was best for Jiang Meng’s family. But lately, Xiao Chen’s behavior had been such a disappointment to her.

It was inevitable that she would grumble a bit.

But she hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from Jiang Meng.

"However, you really should thank the boss of Xiao Corporation for this matter," Ilana said. "Without him, there would have been no solution for your building materials. Even if they were found, there was no way they could have been transported back.

I’ve heard that he arranged for people to personally deliver the building materials back to you!"

"He arranged it?"

Jiang Meng was puzzled once again.

The two figures seemed to gradually merge into one.

Just at that moment, Xiao Chen returned.

"Oh man, the boss of Xiao Corporation is really hospitable, even inviting me to dinner. There’s no turning him down."

He talked as he walked.

"What, you’ve seen the boss of Xiao Corporation, King Yama?"

Ilana was beside herself with excitement, "What makes you worthy of seeing him? I’m not even qualified to meet him."

"Sorry to disappoint, but I picked up a pretty good cooking skill in the military, and after he tried my dish, he was particularly impressed.

I went to him personally for this matter."

Xiao Chen said proudly.

Bringing oneself up always felt a little odd.

"Quick, take me to him!"

Ilana grabbed Xiao Chen, intent on dragging him out the door.

But Xiao Chen shook her off, "Auntie Ilana, I advise you to give up. King Yama is already taken, and moreover, his wife is the most perfect woman in the world.

You can’t compare.

I’ve seen his wife, and only our Mengmeng can hold a candle to her."

Ilana was frustrated. Why did Xiao Chen, of all people, seem to have friends all over the world and know so many impressive individuals?

Was there really such a benefit to having been in the military?

As for Xiao Chen claiming King Yama’s wife was the best in the world, Ilana didn’t care.

She wasn’t after marriage; being King Yama’s woman would leave her with no regrets in life.

Seeing Ilana’s expression, Xiao Chen felt a chill in his heart and knew he couldn’t let this woman find out that he was the boss of Xiao Corporation.

"Wife, has the construction of the factory started?"

Xiao Chen asked Jiang Meng.

"Mhm, we’ve officially started construction. I really have to thank you for this. Your connections are truly Xinmeng Group’s biggest asset!"

Jiang Meng never considered herself the most perfect woman in the world, so with Xiao Chen saying that, she felt a bit confused.

"Maybe I’m overthinking it; Xiao Chen and King Yama can’t be the same person."

She shook her head, "How could the boss of Xiao Corporation condescend to be a stay-at-home husband for me?

Moreover, Sister Andi said that their boss likes to travel the world and wouldn’t stay in Dragon Country all the time."

With these thoughts, she let it be.

She threw herself back into her intense work.

The recent building materials incident caused a huge stir in Blue Sea.

Last time, Bihai Club blocked the border, attempting to use the clearance documents to strangle Xinmeng Group, but all twelve directors ended up unlucky.

It was rumored it might have been the work of the Zhou Family, one of the top ten Aristocratic Clans.

There were even whispers that Xinmeng Group was built single-handedly by the Zhou Family.

This time, Xinmeng Group once again turned disaster into fortune, overcoming the despicable tactics of Bihai Club.

Many people were starting to believe the rumor.

Xinmeng Group really must be backed by the Aristocratic Zhou Family.

Otherwise, how could they have secured the building materials despite the siege by Bihai Club?

When the Zhou Family learned of this news, they couldn’t be happy about it.

They were well aware that Xinmeng Group had no connection to them.

However, they were certain there must be a powerful backer behind Xinmeng Group.

And this backer could be any one of the top ten Aristocratic Clans.

"Whoever is behind the scenes is too cunning, hiding too deeply!" Zhou Shangren sighed.

In all these years, he had never felt so passive, so uneasy.

On the other hand, Bihai Club was scared out of their wits.

Especially after Zhu Chengmao had carefully analyzed this incident.

Not only could they exert pressure on officials, but they also had experts escorting the convoy.

Such strength, if not from an Aristocratic Clan, then what?

He was getting more convinced that Xinmeng Group had ties to the Zhou Family.

"Put a stop to all actions targeting Xinmeng Group for now. I must clear up the situation!"
