“Xuan, did it just rain?” Zhou Xiang asked Chen Haoxuan with a smile.
“Boss Zhou, are you drunk? This is an open area; if it had rained, wouldn't your clothes be wet?” Chen Haoxuan replied with a laugh. He felt a bit dizzy and, noticing Zhou Xiang's flushed face, thought he was just talking nonsense due to being intoxicated.
“Just take a look at your sleeves,” Zhou Xiang said with a grin.
As soon as Zhou Xiang finished speaking, Hua Tianyu and the others turned to look at Chen Haoxuan's sleeves. Hua Lingwei curiously asked Chen Haoxuan, “Chen Haoxuan, why are your sleeves wet?”
Jiang Dong and Mao Yipeng, who were following behind Chen Haoxuan, smiled silently. Zhou Xiang and Hua Tianyu, being shrewd businessmen, looked at Chen Haoxuan with amused expressions. They were all involved in somewhat shady dealings and often drank while negotiating business. To avoid getting confused during discussions, they had their tricks—like hiring drinking companions or spilling drinks on the ground, or like Chen Haoxuan, spitting the drink onto their sleeves. So they all understood why Chen Haoxuan's sleeves were dripping.
Chen Haoxuan looked down at his sleeves and saw the droplets. He couldn't help but laugh awkwardly. “Boss Zhou, please don't laugh at me. I had no choice but to do this; I think you all must have done something similar before, right?”
“We do it often, but not as exaggerated as you. Come on, sit down and eat something! It will be better for your stomach,” Zhou Xiang said with concern.
Zhou Kexin and Hua Lingwei were puzzled; they couldn't understand what Chen Haoxuan was talking about. Zhou Kexin asked him, “Haoxuan, what are you all discussing?”
Chen Haoxuan smiled and explained, “They are laughing at me for cheating. I haven't been drinking with anyone; I've been spitting the drink into my sleeves. With so much liquid in my sleeves, they started dripping.”
“Haoxuan, you're really clever,” Zhou Kexin said affectionately to Chen Haoxuan.
Chen Haoxuan raised his glass and said to Zhou Xiang and the others, “I didn't drink anything just now, but this time I will definitely drink. Here’s to everyone; let’s toast!” After saying that, he downed his drink in one go.
In Chen Family Village, apart from the drying yard, there was not a single person in sight, making the streets of the village very quiet. The Li family sat in this tranquility having their meal; there was fish and meat on the table, but everything tasted bland to them. They were not in the mood to enjoy it after being humiliated by Chen Haoxuan yesterday. Today everyone from the village went to see Chen Haoxuan except for them; they felt abandoned and unable to integrate into the community of Chen Family Village.
During dinner, Chen Zhenghao suddenly slammed his chopsticks and bowl onto the table, shouting angrily, "That illegitimate child has gone too far! The whole village is invited, but not us. I feel like we’re not even part of Chen Family Village anymore. Who knows what the villagers will say about us in the future?"
"Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t let him off the hook. When the opportunity arises, I’ll make him pay dearly," Chen Haorong said with a grim expression.
"Yes, you must find a way to take him down," Chen Zhenghao replied coldly, increasingly regretting that he hadn’t dealt with Chen Haoxuan when he was younger.
Li Xin suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! I’ve thought of something good! Haorong, you must find a way to get rid of that little brat. Think about it—he has no other relatives besides us. If he dies, all his money will belong to us!" The more she spoke, the more excited she became, eventually breaking into a sly grin.
Chen Zhenghao excitedly slapped the table and said, "Exactly! How did I not think of that? Even though he has separated from us, we are still his family. If he dies, we naturally inherit his wealth."
"For 1.1 billion Renminbi, Chen Haoxuan must die," Chen Haorong said with a sinister smile creeping across his face. He had hated Chen Haoxuan since childhood. Now that Chen Haoxuan was wealthy, if he could eliminate him, it would be killing two birds with one stone. He would no longer have to envy Chen Haoxuan's good looks and would gain all of his wealth—1.1 billion Renminbi! Plus a luxurious villa and a high-end car. With such assets, even the county magistrate would treat him with respect.
"But he has so many subordinates around him. How can we kill him?" Fang Zhiyu questioned. She had once liked Chen Haoxuan very much; when Chen Haorong brought her home and she saw how handsome Chen Haoxuan was, her feelings for him grew uncontrollably. She often tried to flirt with him, but each time he ignored her. Eventually, love turned to hate as she whispered against Chen Haoxuan to Chen Haorong, which only fueled Chen Haorong's hatred towards him and led to their separation.
Only Fang Zhiyu knew about her past with Chen Haoxuan because the person he used to be was long gone. If Chen Haoxuan were to actively pursue her now, she might have turned back to him; unfortunately, he would never do that.
"Have you never heard that money can make the world go round? I've been in business for several years and saved some money. Plus, Mom got one million Renminbi from Chen Haoxuan today. Aside from the working capital in our business that we can't touch, we have one point five million Renminbi available. A few tens of thousands can hire a killer; for hundreds of thousands, we can get a high-level assassin. Spending over a million to kill Chen Haoxuan means we gain 1.1 billion Renminbi—this is definitely a profitable deal," Chen Haorong said with a smug grin as if envisioning the assassin taking down Chen Haoxuan.
"What if the police find out? If discovered, we'll be executed," Fang Zhiyu asked anxiously.
"I'll just be careful," Chen Haorong replied confidently.
Chen Haorong was very confident in his ability to kill Chen Haoxuan because he planned to hire ruthless assassins; no matter how capable Chen Haoxuan was, he would surely die.
Chen Haoxuan was indulging in a feast at the grain drying yard, unaware that someone wanted to kill him. If he knew that the person plotting against him was someone very close to him, I wonder what kind of expression he would have. He would probably be so enraged that he would want to kill them!
That day, Chen Haoxuan got drunk. He was carried back by Jiang Dong and the others, while his girlfriend, Chen Yina, took care of him. Lying on the bed, Chen Haoxuan occasionally mumbled some drunken words, such as, "Zhou Kexin, your chest is so big and white..."
