Chapter 1143 What Do You Think?
Chen Xuan looked at Mo Lanxin with a strange expression, never expecting Mo Lanxin to be related to the Provincial Governor Wang and to seem so familiar.
He said indifferently, "My coming here has nothing to do with you, right?"
"Do you know what kind of place this is? Is it a place for scumbags like you to come to?"
Mo Lanxin sneered.
"Isn't this the residence of Provincial Governor Wang Zhonghua?"
"Heh, I didn't expect you, a nobody, to know. It seems you have some insight. Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, don't blame me for being impolite. Guards, seize this guy for me!"
Mo Lanxin shouted.
But the servants remained motionless, looking at each other.
Who was Chen Xuan? The servants knew perfectly well. How could they dare to make a move?
"Why aren't you moving!" Mo Lanxin yelled angrily.
"Don't be rude!"
At this moment, Old Master Wang suddenly spoke.
Mo Lanxin glanced at Old Master Wang. She knew she had lost her composure and restrained herself, but she still said unwillingly, "Grandpa Wang, this guy kicked my little Teddy, you must help me deal with this guy..."
Old Master Wang instantly understood what was happening. He never expected that person to be Chen Xuan.
"Kid, you're finished!"
Mo Lanxin even provocatively glanced at Chen Xuan.
But—
Old Master Wang quickly said, "Mr. Chen, it's my fault for not disciplining her properly. I, an old man, apologize to you on behalf of Lanxin!"
Upon hearing this, a deathly silence fell.
Mo Lanxin was even more stunned. She couldn't believe that Old Master Wang would be so polite to Chen Xuan. Old Master Wang was the father of the Provincial Governor Wang. How could this young man be worthy of Old Master Wang's apology?
She had a lot she wanted to say, but at this moment, she couldn't utter a word.
"Old Master Wang is too kind. You must discipline her more in the future."
After speaking, Chen Xuan strode towards the study.
"Grandpa Wang, why are you being so polite to this guy? What makes him so worthy?"
Seeing Chen Xuan leave, Mo Lanxin pouted, clearly still very displeased.
"Shut up!"
Old Master Wang reprimanded her.
Mo Lanxin shrunk her neck.
Old Master Wang looked at Mo Lanxin and said indifferently, "Lanxin, if you have nothing to do, don't come here anymore. You should have saved some money by now. It's best to hurry back to Taohua Village."
"Grandpa Wang, are you asking me to leave?"
Mo Lanxin was struck by lightning.
Old Master Wang remained silent, but the answer was clear.
Yes!
Mo Lanxin shouted, "Grandpa Wang, it was this guy who kicked my dog first, not me who caused trouble... You promised to uphold justice for me, how can you do this?"
She vaguely felt that Old Master Wang's attitude had done a complete 180-degree turn, and it must be related to this guy Chen Xuan.
Old Master Wang said coldly, "I don't care if it's Mr. Chen's fault or not, you have to leave the provincial capital!"
Before Chen Xuan came to the provincial capital, how arrogant were the four great families, how high and mighty they were, yet weren't they all bankrupted by Chen Xuan?
The three major consortiums wanted to deal with Chen Xuan, and aren't they now in precarious positions? The strength Chen Xuan possessed was truly unimaginable.
Because of this, Old Master Wang decided to sever ties with Mo Lanxin, fearing that it would bring trouble upon himself.
Moreover, he had some understanding of Mo Lanxin's character, and her words were likely not entirely true.
Old Master Wang beckoned the butler and instructed, "Send Lanxin back to Taohua Village!"
The butler looked at Mo Lanxin and said, "Miss Lanxin, please!"
Mo Lanxin was accustomed to staying in the provincial capital and living a life of debauchery. She was naturally unwilling to return to the remote village, but what could she do? She could only obey Old Master Wang's words now.
"Grandpa Wang, I'll come see you another day."
Then, the butler led Mo Lanxin out.
At this time, Chen Xuan had already arrived at the study.
Wang Zhonghua was holding a brush, practicing calligraphy at his desk. He was so engrossed that he didn't notice Chen Xuan entering.
"Provincial Governor Wang's calligraphy is grand and powerful..."
Chen Xuan suddenly smiled faintly.
"Oh?"
Wang Zhonghua looked up at Chen Xuan. "Mr. Chen is here, please have some tea!"
The attendant hurried to serve tea.
"Mr. Chen, please sit down!"
As he spoke, Wang Zhonghua extended his hand to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan turned and sat on the sofa, and Wang Zhonghua also sat down beside him.
Wang Zhonghua looked at Chen Xuan and smiled, "Does Mr. Chen also understand calligraphy?"
"I know a little."
"May I ask what Mr. Chen thinks of my calligraphy?" Wang Zhonghua smiled.
He was very confident in his own calligraphy.
Chen Xuan took a small sip of tea, hesitated slightly, and said lightly, "I have some different opinions. I hope Provincial Governor Wang won't be angry if I speak frankly."
Wang Zhonghua chuckled, "Mr. Chen, please speak your mind!"
What if he got angry?
Would he really punish Chen Xuan?
Chen Xuan said truthfully, "Provincial Governor Wang's calligraphy is indeed grand and powerful, but at the final stroke, it is somewhat weak and lacking force, completely different from the beginning. I think Provincial Governor Wang must have encountered some difficulties and is hesitating?!"
He actually didn't understand calligraphy, but he could discern the aura conveyed by the handwriting.
The calligraphy was indeed grand and powerful, but at the final stroke, it seemed to have been affected by something, making the handwriting look somewhat different. He put himself in Provincial Governor Wang's shoes and spoke these words.
Wang Zhonghua couldn't help but look at Chen Xuan more closely and gave him a thumbs up, "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be both talented and virtuous!"
"Hahaha..."
Chen Xuan smiled casually, not saying much more, as that would reveal his limitations.
Wang Zhonghua looked at Chen Xuan and said, "Mr. Chen, I do have a troublesome matter here and would like Mr. Chen to give me some advice."
"Provincial Governor Wang, please speak freely."
Chen Xuan said.
Wang Zhonghua hesitated for a moment before saying, "I assume Mr. Chen is aware of the money laundering by the three major consortiums?"
There had been considerable conflict between the three major consortiums and the Su family of the provincial capital recently. He had attempted to mediate, but due to the existence of Su Tianci, the matter had reached an unresolvable point. Now that the three major consortiums had been exposed, Wang Zhonghua believed it had a great deal to do with Chen Xuan.
This move was truly a stab to the heart.
However, it had also brought him a headache.
"Of course I know. It's all over the news now. I'm not deaf or blind," Chen Xuan replied truthfully.
"To be frank, we have investigated and confirmed that the three major consortiums are indeed involved in money laundering."
"Oh?"
Chen Xuan thought that the Provincial Governor Wang was quite fast. He hadn't expected him to investigate so thoroughly in such a short period. It seemed that public opinion was putting too much pressure on him.
"However, we had a meeting and discussed that if normal punishment policies were applied, it would cause immense social turmoil and great harm to Jiangnan Province. Therefore, we are considering whether to adopt a more lenient approach."
Provincial Governor Wang looked at Chen Xuan with a meaningful gaze.
Provincial Governor Wang's words made Chen Xuan frown. It was clear that the government was planning to let the three major consortiums off the hook. Fortunately, he had come to find Wang Zhonghua; otherwise, he would have let the three major consortiums escape this ordeal.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
