Chapter 826 Requires Three Days!
Normally, matters like ribbon-cutting ceremonies would not fall to Li Tianxing; any senior executive from the Li family would suffice. However, the land for this Imperial Garden Villa held immense significance for Li Tianxing.
Yes, that was correct!
This was precisely the land the Li family had been vying for with the Lone Wolf family. It was through securing this piece of land that Li Tianxing had ascended rapidly, ultimately taking the position of family head.
A place of such special meaning was worth attending!
At that moment, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw it was Su Ning calling.
His face paled. Could Su Ning be calling to hold him accountable?
He waved for his subordinate to leave, gritted his teeth, and answered the call. To his surprise, Su Ning showed no intention of blaming him at all.
Li Tianxing narrowed his eyes, pondering. Su Ning likely already knew about Shi Menglu's unsavory affairs and no longer thought highly of her, perhaps seeing her merely as a pawn.
Furthermore, Li Tianxing received another piece of good news: Su Ning had emerged from seclusion and would arrive in the provincial capital in three days!
Li Tianxing was ecstatic, almost jumping with joy.
With the continuous annexation of the Situ family and the Fang family, only the Li family remained among the Four Great Families.
Li Tianxing was under immense pressure. If Su Ning arrived in the provincial capital, not only would the pressure on the Li family lessen, but it would also signal the commencement of their counterattack.
This was undoubtedly tremendous news!
An idea struck him, and he said, "Young Master Su Ning, a property development project under the Li family is about to be completed and delivered. I have prepared the best villa for you. When you come to the provincial capital, you can reside there!"
"Good!"
Su Ning nodded indifferently. The most luxurious villa in the Imperial Garden Villa, worth hundreds of millions, was not something Su Ning paid any mind to.
Soon after, the call ended.
Li Tianxing impatiently shouted, "Someone!"
"What are your orders, Patriarch Li?"
A servant scurried over.
"Prepare the villa reserved for myself!"
"Yes!"
With that, the servant left, and Li Tianxing narrowed his eyes.
With Su Ning's arrival, the skies of the provincial capital were about to change!
The Su family of the provincial capital was also doomed!
Li Tianxing was smug, but little did he know that at this very moment, Chen Xuan's side had already found the fifteenth person…
Soon, Chen Xuan received a call from Jiang Ning: "Chen Xuan, I've found out!"
"Found out what?"
Chen Xuan's gaze sharpened.
Then, Jiang Ning recounted the events to Chen Xuan.
Yang Chaotian had sent people to investigate the Li family. Coincidentally, they encountered Li family members going to commit murder. Sensing something amiss, Yang Chaotian had someone follow them.
However, Yang Chaotian arrived late, and the targets had already been killed. He believed everyone had been silenced. Unexpectedly, one person managed to escape when their pursuers were not paying attention. As he fled from his hiding place, he ran into Yang Chaotian.
That person was already terrified. Upon questioning by Yang Chaotian, he confessed everything. It turned out they knew the Lone Wolf family had been targeted for murder by Li Tianxing, which was why they were being silenced.
"It truly is the Li family!"
Chen Xuan's gaze turned icy.
A killing intent surged outwards in all directions!
The chilling aura seemed to creep onto Jiang Ning through the phone line, causing him to shiver.
"Don't tell Lone Wolf about this for now. I'm worried he'll get agitated and seek revenge against Li Tianxing," Chen Xuan said.
Jiang Ning nodded: "I understand, Mr. Chen. I won't tell Lone Wolf for now. Yang Chaotian also shares this sentiment."
Chen Xuan nodded: "Do you have the confidence to deal with the Li family now?"
"Three days! I need three days!"
Jiang Ning pondered for a moment and gave Chen Xuan a timeframe.
"Alright, I'll give you three days."
"By the way, Mr. Chen, as far as I know, the land Li Tianxing acquired back then has been developed into a villa called Imperial Garden Villa. The handover ceremony will be held in three days, and according to the information circulating, Li Tianxing will also be present for the ribbon-cutting!"
"Also in three days? And at that same piece of land?"
"Precisely!"
"Excellent, then we shall give him a grand gift!"
Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them.
In the evening, Su Yunxi returned very late. The Su family had annexed the Situ family and then acquired a portion of the Fang family's assets. The amount of integration required was immense; it was akin to a person overeating, making digestion difficult.
The Su family's assets faced the same issue.
Chen Xuan said with concern, "Yunxi, why don't you rest for a few days?"
"How can that be?" Su Yunxi shook her head resolutely.
She was in high spirits now, watching the Su family's assets skyrocket, and she was somewhat carried away.
"Yunxi, I think it would be better to rest for a bit. Don't rush."
"Let's do it in a few days," Su Yunxi replied, shaking her head.
"If we annex the Li family in a few days, won't you have even less time to rest?"
Su Yunxi blinked slightly and looked sharply at Chen Xuan: "Hmm? The Li family?"
"Yes," Chen Xuan nodded.
"Have you done something again?"
Su Yunxi narrowed her eyes, staring at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan smiled without answering.
There was no definitive information yet, so he didn't plan to tell Yunxi about it for the time being.
He said lightly, "Yunxi, the Su family's strength is now more than double what it was. Our assets are entirely capable of crushing the Li family. My suggestion is that we can try to swallow the Li family whole."
"This…"
Su Yunxi was tempted, a small flame igniting in her beautiful eyes. However, after a moment, she shook her head again: "Our assets haven't been fully reorganized yet; they are still quite scattered. Once all assets are consolidated, we will have the full strength to attempt to take over the Li family."
Chen Xuan didn't say anything, merely offering a faint smile.
"Chen Xuan, come out with me tomorrow."
"For what?"
"You'll know when we get there," she said.
With that, Su Yunxi went to apply a face mask.
She worked in the evenings while applying face masks.
Chen Xuan shook his head and returned to his room.
The next day, after breakfast, Chen Xuan was exercising outside when Su Yunxi suddenly approached: "Chen Xuan, let's go out!"
"Are we really going?"
Chen Xuan was taken aback.
"If it's not real, then is it fake? Didn't I tell you yesterday?"
"Then I'll go change my clothes."
Chen Xuan changed into clean clothes and walked out of the room.
He was curious about what Su Yunxi intended to take him to do, but Su Yunxi refused to say.
Soon, Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi arrived at a tall building. Quite a few people were coming and going.
"An auction?"
Suddenly, Chen Xuan looked at the building and was slightly taken aback.
In front of the building's entrance, several promotional posters were displayed. A grand auction would be held inside the building today.
"Yunxi, what are you planning to buy?"
Chen Xuan asked Su Yunxi curiously.
"A piece of land!"
Su Yunxi stated.
"What for?"
"For chip manufacturing!" Su Yunxi immediately replied.
"Chip manufacturing…"
Chen Xuan looked at Su Yunxi in shock. It was known that very few companies in the country could develop chip structures. All outsourced processing was done abroad, and advanced lithography machines had to be imported, but they weren't sold to Xia Guo.
Fang family's technology was impressive, wasn't it? They had developed chips, but for chip manufacturing, they still relied on foreign foundries.
This was because the biggest limitation in chip manufacturing was the lithography machine, and China lacked advanced ones.
"Do you have a lithography machine?"
Chen Xuan asked, frowning.
Although the Su family had Fang family technology, they couldn't produce chips themselves!
Su Yunxi shook her head: "I don't!"
"Ah? Then what's the land for?"
"However, I met with Professor Long. Professor Long said that while he was being held captive, he had been continuously researching and developing a lithography machine for chip production. He already has a plan and is preparing to cooperate with the Su family to attempt chip manufacturing."
This news was like a depth charge!
