Chapter 1246 Huang Hai Group
"One is the Mo family, one of the Nine Gates of the capital! The Mo family holds immense power. Because they are located in the East City, the Mo family has always wanted the Xuan Yun Group to join them. They sent invitations multiple times, but I refused them all. The Mo family was displeased, but there were no major conflicts."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan shook his head, feeling it didn't sound like the Mo family.
He asked again, "What about the other one?"
Jiang Ning seemed to recall something, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes:
"The other is the Huang Hai Group. The Xuan Yun Group has been vying for development in the eastern suburbs. The Huang Hai Group also seemed to have gotten wind of this, leading to many conflicts with the Xuan Yun Group. At a previous business banquet, one of my top experts severely humiliated an expert from the Huang Hai Group, causing them to lose face."
"The president of the Huang Hai Group, Wan Qiang, even issued a fierce threat, vowing to make me and the Xuan Yun Group pay a heavy price!"
"It seems highly likely that it's this Huang Hai Group!"
Based on Chen Xuan's intuition, the one who made a move must be the Huang Hai Group.
"Have someone investigate the Huang Hai Group later!" Chen Xuan said to Jiang Ning.
"Mr. Chen, I will," Jiang Ning nodded immediately.
"Alright, I'm done eating. I'm leaving!"
With that, Chen Xuan, holding the contract, left quickly, not even giving Jiang Ning a chance to see him out.
Jiang Ning gave a wry smile, "Mr. Chen is truly decisive."
Chen Xuan walked out of the hotel and proceeded along the road. Suddenly, his figure moved, and he slipped into an alley.
Just then, two figures wearing bloody cloaks came over, directly following Chen Xuan into the alley.
"What do you want with me?"
A faint voice sounded, and a pungent smell of tobacco filled the air.
Chen Xuan was seen leaning against the wall, arms crossed, a cigarette dangling from his lips, as if he had been waiting here for the appearance of the two figures in bloody cloaks.
However, the two figures in bloody cloaks didn't seem to explain anything and lunged directly at Chen Xuan.
As their bloody cloaks unfurled, the two figures resembled two giant blood-red bats.
"Scram!"
Before the stern shout had even finished, a sudden burst of silver light shot out!
Needles pierced the bodies of the figures in bloody cloaks, sending them flying backward and crashing heavily against the wall.
"Speak! Who sent you? Was it the Huang Hai Group?"
The figures in bloody cloaks tried to struggle and get up, but Chen Xuan stepped on them, pinning them down. He looked down condescendingly and questioned them coldly.
Suddenly, the pupils of the two figures in bloody cloaks constricted, and blood began to gurgle from their mouths.
"Suicide?"
Chen Xuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly reached for his silver needles to seal their acupoints.
But he was a step too late.
Not only did the two figures in bloody cloaks spew blood, but they also collapsed as if they had taken bone-dissolving powder. Their skin instantly turned into blood, and even their clothes melted away. Only a pool of liquid remained on the ground, as if the two individuals had never existed.
"So ruthless?"
Seeing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but twitch his lips.
This was truly ruthless. Ordinary suicide by an elite assassin usually involved biting the poison hidden in their teeth, at least leaving a complete corpse. But this poison was too potent, instantly dissolving them into blood. Even an immortal couldn't save them.
Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly, turned, and walked out of the alley, returning to the Su family in the capital.
In the living room, Jiang Biyun was chatting with several women from the Su family in the capital.
Chen Xuan's entry attracted the attention of the women. It had to be said that Chen Xuan was tall and handsome, and his appearance was decent. If one disregarded his status as a live-in son-in-law, he would have impressed many.
"Xiao Yun, is this your live-in son-in-law? Where did he go just now?"
"Haha, he looks quite busy."
The women said with laughter.
In Jiangnan Province, with Chen Xuan's strength, Jiang Biyun naturally felt proud of him. However, upon arriving in the capital, she felt he was not presentable and awkwardly replied, "Just busy with trivial matters, nothing worth mentioning."
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan spoke up at this moment, "I went to get the cooperation contract from the president of Xuan Tian Group!"
As he spoke, he waved the contract in his hand.
Silence fell over the room, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
"Hahaha, Xiao Yun, your son-in-law is really funny. He claims to have gotten a contract from Xuan Tian Group. Do you know that even Su Chenglong, the genius of our Su family in the capital, didn't get the contract? How could he possibly get it?"
"This is too big of a boast, it's laughable!"
"Xiao Yun, I didn't realize your son-in-law could also brag. People with ability are called ambitious, while those without are just talking big. It seems your Vermillion Bird lineage has misjudged."
"Slap!"
A dull thud.
Chen Xuan slammed the contract onto the table before them, "Then you tell me, am I talking big, or am I ambitious?"
"Tch, we won't look."
"Xiao Yun, we're leaving."
"What a buzzkill!"
The several buxom beauties straightened their waists, swayed their hips, and turned to leave.
"I'll see you out!"
Jiang Biyun saw the beautiful women off and then looked at Chen Xuan, saying, "Chen Xuan, look at the mess you've made! You've angered me to death!"
Chen Xuan opened his mouth to explain, but a gentle voice sounded, "Chen Xuan, where did you go just now?"
He turned around and saw Su Yunxi walking in, carrying a pale yellow bag, her pretty face adorned with a bright smile.
"I just went to get the cooperation contract from Xuan Yun Group," Chen Xuan said with a faint smile.
"You really got the contract?"
Su Yunxi's red lips parted instantly, her face filled with surprise.
Jiang Biyun, however, frowned, "Yun Xi, don't listen to his bragging..."
But Su Yunxi had already picked up the contract with joy. Upon opening it, she was astonished: "It's really a contract!"
"What? It's really a contract?"
Jiang Biyun was startled, and she snatched the contract from Su Yunxi's hand, bringing it before her eyes. Moments later, her eyes widened, her hands trembled, and her expression became excited, "This... this... is really a contract..."
"Doesn't that mean my Yun Xi will be on the list of candidates for the family patriarch's succession?"
In an instant, Jiang Biyun's breathing also quickened.
The surroundings also fell silent!
This seemed to be incredibly good news!
Initially, Su Yunxi hadn't thought much about this matter, but if she could truly be included in the list of candidates for the family patriarch's succession, it would undoubtedly be a cause for great celebration.
"Good, good, good! We've just returned to the Su family in the capital, and Yun Xi has entered the capital's Su family succession list. This is truly uplifting. We must have a good celebration!" Jiang Biyun immediately said.
At this moment, Old Master Su also walked over. Upon learning of the situation, he was also happy about it.
However, suddenly, Old Master Su frowned, "Chen Xuan, how did you get the contract?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Biyun and Su Yunxi also looked over.
That's right, everyone from the Su family in the capital had been mobilized, yet none of them obtained the contract. How did Chen Xuan, new to the capital, manage to get it?
