The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law
Chapter 139 - 137: A Cancer to the Industry?

Chapter 139: Chapter 137: A Cancer to the Industry?

Long Chen gave a wry smile. He just knew that Li Yuechan wouldn’t believe him.

"Yuechan, I really do have a hundred trillion, to be exact, two hundred trillion, and this amount is still increasing at a rapid pace."

Long Chen was deadly serious.

Li Yuechan rolled her eyes, "If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll stop talking to you, alright? Just tell me honestly, where did the money come from?"

Long Chen was at a loss for words; these days, speaking the truth just seemed to be unbelievable.

Since Li Yuechan didn’t believe him, it wasn’t good for Long Chen to continue on the subject.

Trying to force proof might just backfire.

Thinking this, Long Chen smiled and said, "The three years I was missing, I was actually working for Great Xia. The payoff was substantial. And during that time, a friend recommended me for quite a few legitimate businesses, and I made a decent fortune. Here, now it’s all yours."

"What kind of businesses?" Li Yuechan asked.

"Yuechan, it involves Great Xia’s secrets. I’ve signed a nondisclosure agreement, so if I tell you, I’ll be sanctioned. Are you sure you want to know? If you’re sure, then I’ll tell you," Long Chen said.

"Then forget about it. Don’t get yourself in trouble because of me.

So, those sums of money you gave me before, when you said you borrowed them, you were lying to me?"

Li Yuechan ground her teeth as she asked.

"Cough, yes, you also should consider, who would lend me that much money?" Long Chen chuckled awkwardly.

"Then, since the money is yours, does that mean I can spend it however I like?"

"Spend it as you like, no worries even if you blow it all," Long Chen said.

"That’s what you said, hmph, in that case, I don’t have any psychological burden, bye."

Li Yuechan hung up the phone.

Long Chen let out a sigh of relief.

He understood that Li Yuechan definitely still had her doubts.

But at the same time, she must also believe that the money was indeed his own.

And that was enough.

Over the next few days, Long Chen traveled all over, securing exclusive broadcasting rights for one drama after another.

By the time he secured the exclusive rights for all the dramas on his list, ten days had passed.

By then, the name Long Chen had caused an uproar in the entertainment industry.

Because alone, he had managed to seize more than a dozen exclusive broadcasting rights from the three largest entertainment giants in Great Xia.

Those giants didn’t even get a taste of the soup.

But the means by which Long Chen had used were also frowned upon by the industry, and he was seen as a malignant tumor in the business.

Because Long Chen’s methods for securing all the dramas involved simply throwing money at the problem.

In fact, while securing these dramas, Long Chen also encountered some interesting incidents.

For one of the dramas that hadn’t yet aired but was already extremely hot, when Long Chen approached the person in charge, they immediately said to him that even if offered four billion, it absolutely wouldn’t be sold and must cooperate with Tencent Quick Video.

Without a word, Long Chen threw down five billion, completely knocking them out, and all thoughts of cooperating with Tencent Quick Video were tossed out the window.

So, after discussions for more than a dozen dramas, Long Chen had thrown in nearly twenty billion in total.

Naturally, all these dramas were bought out.

Li Yuechan quickly caught wind of this and called Long Chen to her office.

She stared at him intensely, frowning, "If you say that the previous ten billion were earned during the three years you were gone, then tell me, where did the twenty billion for these drama rights come from? Explain this to me."

"Baby, isn’t it enough that I secured these dramas? The rest aren’t important, right?" Long Chen smiled.

"It’s important. It’s about trust between us. I feel like you don’t trust me anymore because you’re not telling me the truth," Li Yuechan said.

"I told you before, but you didn’t believe me," Long Chen said with a wry smile, "I mentioned before that I had a hundr..."

He stopped mid-sentence as he suddenly thought of Xia Ling.

Why not let Xia Ling help him out?

"Why did you stop suddenly? Keep talking! I want to hear more of your nonsense."

Li Yuechan’s smile was teasing.

Long Chen gave a dry laugh, then got serious. "I told you before that I made quite a bit of money during the three years I was gone, and that wasn’t a lie. But I did conceal some things."

"What did you conceal?"

Li Yuechan became nervous and stood up immediately.

But because she stood up too abruptly, she twisted her high heel and started to topple over, unsteady.

Long Chen was quick and pulled Li Yuechan into his arms.

Li Yuechan, finding herself in Long Chen’s hold, instinctively wrapped her arms around his.

Their eyes met, sparking a tangible electricity.

Long Chen couldn’t help but let his gaze drift to Li Yuechan’s delicate lips.

He couldn’t resist and slowly leaned his head down.

Just as Long Chen was about to succeed, Li Yuechan quickly held up a finger, stopping him. "First, explain clearly what it is you’re hiding."

"Well, after I’ve explained, you must remain calm, very calm. Can you do that?"

Long Chen asked.

"I can. Let me go so I can sit up and listen to you properly," Li Yuechan said.

"Just listen while you’re in my arms."

Long Chen tightened his embrace around Li Yuechan.

Li Yuechan felt a strange sensation, but she understood that she couldn’t give Long Chen too much credit now; she had to find out what he was hiding.

However, Li Yuechan didn’t try to forcefully leave his embrace. After some thought, Long Chen spoke softly, "You must know about Dragon Doctor World Medical Company, right?"

"Of course I do. Dragon Doctor saved cancer and AIDS patients around the world. By now, there are few people in the world who don’t know about Dragon Doctor. Why bring this up? What does it have to do with you?"

Li Yuechan gave Long Chen a skeptical look.

Holding Li Yuechan close and inhaling her scent, Long Chen smiled and said, "Dragon Doctor World Medical Company and Dragon Medical Hall, don’t you think that’s a bit of a coincidence?"

"Could it be... Could you..."

Li Yuechan’s eyes widened in shock.

"It’s not as exaggerated as you think," Long Chen said, "Actually, Xia Ling, the director of Dragon Doctor, entered into some partnerships with me. She provided the Elixir Formula, and I was responsible for the alchemy process for the company, then got a one percent share of the profits. That’s how I have so much money. Now do you understand?"

"One percent, how much is that?" Li Yuechan was suspicious.

Long Chen frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "One percent... should be... maybe... um, a few hundred million a month, I guess."

"That much?"

Li Yuechan was astonished.

Long Chen felt a little uneasy.

Because the one percent he mentioned could easily amount to ten or twenty billion a month.

But if he were to explain it properly now, he definitely wouldn’t be able to make it clear; it would only get more confusing the more he tried to explain.

"Sweetheart, don’t be disbelieving. Do you remember when I called Jiang Tong and Tang Ying to the basement at my house? At that time, they were actually alchemy, and now that Dragon Doctor World Medical Company has opened its own factory, they have gone to work there."

Long Chen said.

Li Yuechan thought about it carefully and recalled those events.

"Let’s not talk about money. Let’s talk about you. The film industry is calling you a scourge. What are you planning to do about it?"

Li Yuechan asked with a mischievous smile.
