"What about the rest of the influences that our Chu family has in Jiangdong? Without these two, we should still have five people, right? Go and contact the rest of them!" Chu Qi-Tian yelled as his expression darkened.
His subordinate sighed and shook his head. "It's all gone. The investment unit just informed me that about half a year ago, all our informants and allies in Jiangdong were eliminated overnight. It was as though a demon had personally reached out and uprooted us with his hand. There are no organizations that are even remotely linked to us in Jiangdong now."
BANG!
Chu Qi-Tian already pale face turned an even more ghastly shade.
The glass of red wine fell from his hand and shattered as it hit the floor, coloring the floor with a vivid shade of red.
"All our influences are go...gone?" Chu Qi-Tian muttered in panic to himself after a long period of silence. His heart seemed to quiver in fear.
It was not hard for him to guess that this must have been done by Ye Fan.
Whenever Chu Qi-Tian tried to create trouble for Ye Fan in the past, the latter had only defended himself and resolved the problems passively.
Chu Qi-Tian only just discovered that unbeknownst to him, the hunted had become the hunter.
It has never occurred to Chu Qi-Tian that Ye Fan would proactively deal with and get rid of everyone connected to the Chu family.
The Chu family's influences in Jiangdong had been eliminated by Ye Fan without anyone realizing.
"Chu Tian-Fan! You've really outdone me this time! You sneaked an attack on us and destroyed our influences and informants in Jiangdong! No wonder I have so little information on you over there. It looks like you have plans to make Jiangdong your base camp huh?" Even as Chu Qi-Tian said these words coldly, he felt panic and fear. It was only now that he truly comprehended the kind of opponent he was up against!
"Father was right, I was too arrogant and had underestimated him all this while. But, Chu Tian-Fan, did you really think you can rest easy just because you've gotten rid of everyone I have in Jiangdong?" After recovering from his shock, Chu Qi-Tian seemed to know what his next course of action should be.
"Third Young Master, what do we do now?" his subordinate asked worriedly. Without anyone on their team there, it would be a lot more difficult for them to gather any sort of intelligence and carry out any plans.
"Simple. The people we supported in Jiangdong are gone, but we can always send others in! I remember reading from a report that Chu Tian-Fan is supposed to be the King of Jiangdong, correct? Since he has been defeated, it is time for Jiangdong to have a new master," Chu Qi-Tian sneered with deviousness.
That very night, Chu Qi-Tian sent his cronies on a plane to China.
No one knew the kind of storm that was coming to Jiangdong under the instigation from the Chu family!
Over in Jiangdong, Chen Ao and Li Er did not have the slightest inkling on what the Chu family had schemed. All was peaceful and calm.
Chen Ao and the rest carried on their daily lives as though nothing had happened.
Whenever someone asked about Mr Chu, Chen Ao and the rest would calmly reply, "Mr Chu always keeps his whereabouts private. He was in Japan some days back, but who knows? He may be in Thailand enjoying himself now. Haha, nobody knows exactly when he will be back."
No one doubted this explanation.
But while Chen Ao and the rest could act normally, the suddenly widowed Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't.
"Mu-Cheng, what happened to you? How long has it been since you went to work? The new employees don't even know what their boss' name is."
