791: 792 791: 792 Lord Long’s fate made those covetous of Blue Sea realize a common thought:

This forbidden land of Blue Sea truly cannot be trifled with.

Otherwise, the price would be the same as Lord Long’s.

Xiao Chen didn’t bother with what was said outside; he just did what he needed to do.

Within the pitch-black secret room.

Li Long, Lang Ji, and Xue Jian knelt there.

Zhang Zhao and Qiao Wang sat in wheelchairs, their eyes bloodshot as they stared at the enemies before them.

“I promised you that I would bring your enemies before you, and now, you have a chance to secretly execute them,”

Xiao Chen said to Zhang Zhao and Qiao Wang, “Rest assured, they are as good as dead now, so whatever you do, there won’t be any problems!”

“Could you lend me a knife?”

Qiao Wang asked.

“Give them the knife; we’ll go out for a smoke,”

Xiao Chen waved his hand.

The secret room was left with the three crippled murderers and the two victims.

Xiao Chen heard the screams coming from inside.

Li Long probably never imagined that his elder brother, after spending twenty billion, still couldn’t buy back his own life.

About half an hour later, Xiao Chen pushed the door open and went inside.

The three murderers had already fallen into pools of blood.

Zhang Zhao and Qiao Wang sat there, weeping uncontrollably.

Their great vengeance had been exacted, something they never imagined possible, had come true.

“What are you planning to do next?”

Xiao Chen asked.

“Mr.

Xiao, you helped us take revenge.

I want to serve you.

Although my abilities are limited, contributing to your cause would be my greatest honor.

The old Qiao Wang is dead; the current me is brand new,”

Qiao Wang said, looking at Xiao Chen.

“The same goes for me.

Through this event, I’ve also seen hope in this society, and I am willing to follow you!”

Zhang Zhao added.

“Good, first heal your wounds.

Once you’re better, go see Lin Meng; she will arrange work for you.

Work hard, and everything will get better,”

Xiao Chen gently patted their shoulders.

And left.

Soon, the news reported that Li Long, Lang Ji, and Xue Jian had been shot dead, even displaying photos of their corpses.

Upon receiving this news, Li Biao of Xiongcheng City furiously called Li Zui, “You didn’t keep your word!”

“Family Head Li Biao, you must be misunderstanding something.

Their execution was done by the officials; it has nothing to do with us.

Do you think the officials acted wrongly?”

Li Zui said with a smile.

“Return me the money!”

Li Biao demanded angrily.

“Haha, Family Head Li Biao, you’re behaving like a child.

Money given out and then returned?

Do you think that’s possible?

Besides, we kept our promise.

We didn’t kill Li Long; that money is rightfully ours,”

Li Zui retorted with a cold laugh.

“You tell your boss, this isn’t over.

My Li Family of Xiongcheng City will not tolerate being toyed with like this.

Remember, the next one to die will be you!”

Li Biao threatened harshly before hanging up the phone.

He was truly furious.

This was the most humiliating play he’d ever suffered.

It was clear the other side didn’t take him seriously at all.

“Big brother, we can’t let these bastards off, especially that Xiao Chen.

Even though he isn’t the boss behind the scenes, he must be his right-hand man.

We must kill him!”

Li Kun bellowed in rage.

“Not so fast!”

Li Biao said coldly, “This time, let’s first make him notoriously infamous in Blue Sea until he can’t stay there anymore.

Then take action, killing him would be letting him off too easily.”

“Go, call Yu Milian and tell her to take a trip to the Blue Sea TV station.

Utilize her status as a top journalist to stink up Xiao Chen for me.

Make Jiang Meng dump him.

I want to see if a man with a sullied reputation will still have anyone willing to employ him.”

“Do you really want to send Yu Milian to Blue Sea?”

Li Kun smiled.

“It’s just a woman, just for fun.

Her real use to me is destroying my competitors.”

Li Biao said coldly, “Over the years, this woman has used her connections and prestige to ruin countless entrepreneurs and officials.

A mere Xiao Chen is nothing to her!”

“Fine, I’ll give Yu Milian a call and send her to Blue Sea.

I’m sure the boss of Blue Sea Media Group will like that very much.”

Li Kun turned and left.

A chilling light shot from Li Biao’s eyes: “Xiao Chen, I’ll first tarnish your name, strip you of everything, and then I don’t believe the people behind you won’t show themselves!

My two hundred billion will just stay with you for now, but rest assured, my money isn’t that easy to use!”

…

“Boss, as per your instructions, out of that two hundred billion, fifteen billion was given to the families of the victims, ensuring that they can live without worry hereafter.

We’ve set aside another ten billion as a reward for our brothers.

We allocated one hundred billion to establish the Xinmeng Tech Award, which will be handed out annually with a prize of ten billion!

Both teams and individuals are eligible to participate.

This award is to honor those scientists and teams that have made significant contributions to the technological cause of Dragon Country.

The rest of the money has been given to the Xinmeng Group’s Social Services Department for them to manage and distribute, to be used for elderly homes, orphanages, schools, as well as infrastructure construction.”

Zhang Qi, holding a detailed plan, reported to Xiao Chen.

“No need to be so stingy.

The Xinmeng Tech Award can have two categories: the Dragon Country Division and the World Division.

The prize money for each is ten billion!

Those awarded in the Dragon Country Division can also compete for the World Division award, and the prize money can be stacked.

The selection committee must be fair, with the awards announced every Lunar New Year.”

Xiao Chen said.

“I really can’t match your level of magnanimity, boss,”

Zhang Qi said with emotion, “I’ll take care of this.

I will discuss it over the phone with Chairman Jiang Meng and President Andi.”

“Okay, go ahead!”

Xiao Chen waved his hand.

Having too much money, one must do something with it.

After Zhang Qi left, Li Zui came over.

“Boss, Li Biao called and he seems rather unwilling to let things go.

He issued threats, vowing that he won’t make life easy for us.

I think he will retaliate!”

Li Zui said.

“Well, that’s great.”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “It looks like someone else is coming to support the construction of Xinmeng Group; I couldn’t be happier.

Li Long’s two hundred billion; if it had been Li Biao, it would have to be at least three hundred billion, right?”

Li Zui gave a wry smile.

Indeed, Mr.

Xiao truly commanded both admiration and fear.

What seemed like off-hand remarks from him always turned into reality.

In Blue Sea nowadays, the best-developed entities were none other than Xinmeng Group, Blue Sea Chengxu Group, Blue Sea Entertainment, and Nanotechnology.

Having arranged all his affairs,

Xiao Chen returned to Jiang Meng’s side, enjoying the comforts of accompanying his wife at work.

A day later, Lin Meng suddenly came looking for Xiao Chen, saying that Blue Sea Media Group had called, planning to do a comprehensive exclusive interview with Xinmeng Group.

They hoped to interview Chairman Jiang Meng and the man behind her.

Naturally, they were speaking of Xiao Chen.

“Wife, you know that I dislike being in the limelight the most.

You do the interview, and I’ll pass!”

Xiao Chen wasn’t afraid of the media; he just preferred not to be in the public eye unless absolutely necessary.
