Chapter 328: Chapter 318 Weakness

Long Chen smirked, and Xia Ling instantly got the hint.

"So, you’re not just having back issues, you want to... hehe."

Xia Ling grinned wickedly.

"Cough, as upright as I am, how could I harbor such nefarious thoughts? Let’s go."

Long Chen pulled Xia Ling, ready to leave.

Xia Ling shook his head, whispering, "Not now, we can’t do this now, wait for tonight, okay? I’ll come to find you quietly tonight, okay?"

"No, it has to be now."

"Are you crazy? Look behind you, to your left."

Xia Ling whispered a hint.

Long Chen turned his head and saw Little Unrivaled holding a book, looking at him with a mischievous smile.

At that moment, Long Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

How could he have forgotten about this little girl?

"Brother Chen, do your thing, I didn’t hear anything."

Little Unrivaled blinked her eyes.

"Xia Ling, give her some extra homework."

Long Chen suggested.

"Ah, no, please no." Little Unrivaled’s face suddenly changed.

She thought homework was the most terrifying thing.

It was a hundred times scarier than practicing boxing ten thousand times.

Xia Ling rolled her eyes at Long Chen and said, "She hasn’t done anything wrong. Don’t you bully the little girl."

"Hee hee, Sister Ling is the best."

Little Unrivaled beamed happily.

"Sister Xia Ling, you really are spoiling Little Unrivaled, the elementary schooler."

From upstairs, Zhuge Xuan laughed.

"And you, Xuan’er, you always bully Little Unrivaled, calling her an elementary schooler. Be careful, or she might sneak into your blanket at midnight to bully you."

Xia Ling laughed.

"I wouldn’t want that, I’m too good for her."

Little Unrivaled scrunched her nose.

"Pfft, I’m not afraid of this little elementary schooler." Zhuge Xuan scoffed dismissively.

"Talk as if I’m scared of you, pint-sized brat."

Little Unrivaled looked down her nose.

"Hey, you’re really asking for a beating."

Zhuge Xuan immediately jumped down from the second floor.

Such a scene, in an ordinary household, would surely end in disaster, as jumping from the second floor would mean certain death or disability.

But in this villa, Xia Ling was used to such occurrences.

"Stop bickering, you two. Xuan’er, don’t disturb the little girl while she’s doing homework. Once she gets a good education, she won’t argue with you anymore."

Xia Ling laughed.

"Are Xuan’er and Unrivaled causing a ruckus again?" From the kitchen, Li Yuechan’s laughter rang out.

"Yuechan, the food’s getting burnt."

"Ah, I was looking for Sichuan peppercorns. Churan, stir-fry it quickly."

"Haha, you’re not cut out to be a chef." Zhao Churan giggled.

The villa was filled with joy and laughter.

But at that very moment, inside the Heavenly God Biological Company in Qianzhou, silence reigned supreme.

The Third Young Master stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with an ice-cold expression, having already smoked through two packs of cigarettes.

Behind him, a group of followers all stood with bowed heads, not one daring to speak, or even to breathe too loudly.

They were all terrified of being the target of the Third Young Master’s wrath after his huge loss to Long Chen.

After a long while, the Third Young Master stubbed out the last cigarette and asked in a heavy voice, "Tell me, what should I do now?"

As the Third Young Master spoke up, everyone fell silent.

The Third Young Master’s brow rose, and he barked angrily, "If you all keep silent, I might as well kill you all. Do you believe that?"

With just one sentence, everyone became as quiet as death, even less inclined to speak.

The Third Young Master took a deep breath, then pointed directly at a man nearby, "You, speak."

"Third Young Master, your subordinate doesn’t...doesn’t know."

The man said quietly.

"Waste."

With a wave of his hand, the Third Young Master slapped the man to death on the spot.

This left everyone else extremely terrified.

"You, come here and speak."

The Third Young Master pointed to another person.

The chosen individual trembled with fear and spoke cautiously, "Young Master, I believe that now we should inform the Hall Master of the actual situation. After all, this is happening in Qianzhou, which is Long Chen’s territory. Although you are a strong dragon crossing the river, fighting with a local snake is ultimately unfamiliar territory. What do you think?"

"That makes some sense, but we can’t do that just yet." The Third Young Master said sternly, "If I seek help from my father now, what would he think of me?

I’ve heard that my two brothers have already made great strides in other cities. If I seek help, wouldn’t it just show that I am incompetent?"

"Young Master, I might have a strategy to try." A young man in the crowd mustered his courage to step forward, "I observed Long Chen carefully during the wedding banquet. Indeed, Long Chen is a hero and truly powerful. Few can match his strength.

But, he has a fatal weakness, which is his deep sense of loyalty."

"What do you mean? Get to the point."

"Young Master, what I mean is that since Long Chen cherishes loyalty, we can take advantage of this weakness of his, manipulate the people close to him, for example, make them betray him, or capture someone he cares deeply about and coerce him into submission. Anyone who values loyalty will surely take the bait, and then we can take down Long Chen without much effort."

The young man said with a cunning sneer, his smile tinged with malice.

"What’s your name again?" the Third Young Master asked.

"Reporting to the Young Master, my name is Wu Peng."

"Good, Wu Peng. You have an active mind. This important task will be assigned to you to complete. Grabbing someone outright to threaten doesn’t seem quite appropriate. If it fails, the consequences are severe. Try bribing the people close to him first. I’ll give you five billion, go and give it a try."

The Third Young Master instructed.

Five billion?

Wu Peng gasped in surprise, "Young Master, isn’t that a bit..."

"Not at all, not a bit much." The Third Young Master replied, "Long Chen is the actual owner of the Eastern Dragon Shadow Group. His wealth is immeasurable. So, for buying off those close to him, a small amount of money won’t do. Only with billions as the unit is there a chance of success."

Snap.

Wu Peng smacked his forehead, realizing, "You’re truly wise, Young Master. As the saying goes, money can make the ghosts turn the millstones. With five billion, we will surely be successful."

"Let’s hope so. There’s no time to waste. Let’s discuss the specifics, and you should start preparing for action as soon as possible. The sooner the better. I don’t want to be stuck in Qianzhou any longer."

...

The next day, nearing noon, just as Long Chen and Xuanyuan Yu’er were about to get up to no good at home, Long Chen received a call from Li Yuechan.

"Long Chen, right now, I’m in a café meeting with someone claiming to be from the Heavenly God Biological Company. We were discussing a collaboration, and initially, it all seemed fine, but the more we talked, the more something felt off. He isn’t here to do business, but instead to buy me out," Li Yuechan said softly.

"Buy you out? What do you mean?"

Long Chen asked.

Li Yuechan explained, "Between the lines, he’s offering to invest five billion in me, and whether I repay it or not is optional, but I would have to follow his orders, help him with some things. Although he didn’t specify what, I can already sense that he wants to use me to betray you to achieve certain goals."

"Got it." Long Chen chuckled, "Heavenly God Biological Company? Isn’t that just the Heavenly God Temple? Interesting."

"So, what should I do now?" asked Li Yuechan.

"Take it." Long Chen laughed, "Someone is bringing five billion to your doorstep, how could you not accept? After you take it, feed him some false information. Whatever he asks later, just tell him lies. Let’s play around with the Third Young Master. I’ll play the long game; after all, I’ve got plenty of time."

"Okay, I’ll do as you say."

"Good, go ahead, I trust you," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Mm, goodbye, husband."

Li Yuechan hung up the phone.

Afterward, Li Yuechan walked out of the restroom and returned to her seat.

"Ms. Li, have you made your decision about what we discussed just now?" Wu Peng asked with a smile on his face.

"I’ve made up my mind, but I have a condition," Li Yuechan said, "I’ll help you, but under no circumstances must you expose me. Can you do that?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Peng was elated, "Ms. Li, rest assured, we will not disclose your identity."

"Fine then, when will I get the money?" Li Yuechan asked.

"Don’t rush. Before I give you the money, I need to ask you a question. Your man, Long Chen, does he have any significant weaknesses?" Wu Peng inquired.

"Do you even need to ask?" Li Yuechan said, "If you’ve come to me, it indicates that you already know his biggest weakness is his sense of loyalty; otherwise, you wouldn’t have tried to buy me out. I must say, you’re quite clever and you’ve come to the right person. Had you approached someone else, perhaps it wouldn’t have worked. I’m a realist. With all those other women around him, he won’t miss me one bit. I just want to make money and perhaps later find a nice place to enjoy life."

"Haha, Ms. Li, you’re indeed forthright; I like that. Alright, give me your bank account number, and I’ll transfer the funds immediately," Wu Peng laughed.

"Okay."

Li Yuechan gave her bank details, and watching Wu Peng’s excited figure, Li Yuechan secretly sneered.

With these jumping clowns trying to outsmart her husband, they clearly had no idea what they were up against.
