Chapter 466: Chapter 466
After dinner, Ye Wanhua suddenly felt somewhat exhausted and returned to the master bedroom to rest early.
Indeed, she was genuinely fatigued today.
Wang Junchen stayed by Ye Wanhua’s side until she fell into a deep sleep with a smile and closed her eyes. Only then did he leave the bedroom and enter the study.
At this moment, Jiangbei and Qin Feng had already been waiting for a long time and brought back two pieces of good news.
At least, it was good news for Wang Junchen.
Through secret inquiries, it was confirmed that Yuan Feng was indeed paralyzed and could no longer walk normally; he even needed lifelong medication to alleviate his physical pain.
The other piece of good news was that the collaboration between Wang Junchen and the Jiang Family was finalized, with all related procedures in order.
"Boss, are we just going to let Yuan Feng off ?"
Jiangbei always advocated finishing what they started and preferred to simply eliminate Yuan Feng, but Wang Junchen thought otherwise; he sought psychological torment.
His wife had taken nearly 25 years to emerge from her shadows, and this account would have to be settled slowly. Fresh chapters posted on noᴠelfire.net
"Looks like our boss isn’t dead after all, he’s still alive."
Upon hearing this, both men were dumbfounded. Not dead, still alive? How could he possibly still be alive? They had clearly searched the area after the incident; there was no possibility he could have survived.
The explosion back then was so powerful, how could he have possibly escaped death?
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
That major explosion last year was meticulously designed by the three of them, aimed to kill Shen Shiyi and allow Wang Junchen to take his place.
The deceased were clearly men over the age of sixty, even the coroner confirmed it.
Everything had proceeded smoothly, perfectly planned.
Afterward, Wang Junchen even spent a significant amount of money in Y Country to secure a Feng Shui treasure site for the old boss and Uncle Quan, and had monks chant for their departed souls.
Senior members had also attended the funeral.
But now... Wang Junchen was saying their boss hadn’t died and was still alive. How was that possible?
"Impossible!" Jiangbei was the first to speak, "At the time, I saw with my own eyes, the people inside were blown to pieces; there wasn’t even a whole bone left."
"Exactly, I was there too," Qin Feng chimed in, "That car was blown to bits; even with a body double... it couldn’t have been faked."
Both became more certain as they spoke, their expressions resolute.
"I also think it’s impossible." Wang Junchen gave a bitter smile and said lightly, "I thought too, that it was certain death, but the truth is... he’s indeed still alive."
"Then..." Qin Feng was puzzled, "If that man wasn’t the boss, who was he? Did Uncle Quan also not die?"
Wang Junchen shook his head and sighed softly.
"It was Tang Mei. The true identity of the boss was Tang Mei; she had seen through the plan long ago. Who would have thought... the decisively murderous old man was actually a woman, and Mrs. Nanbei was actually two burly men."
Qin Feng: Realistic masks?
Jiangbei: Well, she’s really covered her tracks!
Just as Qin Feng was about to ask how they should proceed, perhaps even considering an assassination, the butler’s knock suddenly came from outside the study.
After receiving permission, the butler entered.
"Sir, a Mr. Li from Jin City would like to see you; he says he’s Mr. Li’s uncle and has brought six specialty items from Jin City for you and your wife."
Jiangbei: My goodness, talk about seeking death!
Qin Feng: That was fast!
Wang Junchen had thought that Li Wanshan would first go to Nanfeng Mansion to meet his father, Wang Jinhui, but unexpectedly, the man came directly here.
"How many people came?"
"Just him. He had an assistant with him, but the assistant stayed in the car and didn’t come in."
Wang Junchen’s lips slightly curled: "Please invite Mr. Li to the tea room and treat him well. Tell him my wife is resting... I still have two guests here, and I’ll join him once I’m done. As for the items... just accept them for now."
The butler nodded, "Yes."
Once the butler left, the entire study instantly fell into a deathly quiet silence.
Jiangbei silently plotted in his mind.
He believed that Li Wanshan’s visit to Huang City was a suicidal move, as he and Madame Lai, Yuan Min, were both on Wang Junchen’s hit list.
Wang Junchen looked up and gazed at Qin Feng.
Seeing this, Qin Feng quickly walked a few steps closer, "Boss, it looks like the Leng Family can’t sit still anymore."
What’s happening, not taking action?
Wang Junchen raised his eyebrow, "He’s a bit too hasty. Since that’s the case... let’s leak some more."
Qin Feng paused, then said solemnly, "Actually, meeting is not a bad idea; it’s probably not Zishen’s intention. However... it’s always good to be cautious. Shall I go with you?"
Wang Junchen’s lips thinned slightly, "No need, he doesn’t have the guts, he’s just fishing for information."
Qin Feng: "Yes, I was overthinking it."
Wang Junchen slowly rose, walked over to Jiangbei, and as he passed by him, he suddenly whispered, "Don’t rush, there will be opportunities in the future."
Jiangbei was slightly stunned as he watched Wang Junchen’s receding figure, not averting his gaze until the door closed.
Could he not be anxious? It was strange not to be!
Oh well, let him live a few more days.
Twenty minutes later, in the teahouse.
Li Wanshan was sitting inside drinking tea, and when Wang Junchen entered, he quickly got up to meet him.
"Mr. Wang, forgive my disturbance."
Wang Junchen smiled, extending his hand to shake with Li Wanshan, "Please have a seat, I’m really sorry, there was something delaying me, I made you wait."
"No, no, it was me who disturbed you."
"I’ve long heard of Mr. Li’s reputation, and seeing you today truly lives up to it." Wang Junchen withdrew his hand with a smile, his movements very natural, "May I ask what brings Mr. Li to Huang City... Don’t mind my directness, I usually get right to the point."
As he spoke, his robust laughter filled the air.
"Actually, it’s nothing specific. I just came to see... I heard you were looking for a partner?"
"Yes! I’ve been in Country Y for so long, I’m not too familiar with the domestic situation. I really need a trustworthy... partner." Wang Junchen suddenly changed the topic, "Fortunately, the Jiang Family extended their hand in time a while back and solved a big problem for me."
Li Wanshan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, but he kept his composure and asked, "The Jiang Family?"
He strongly suspected he had heard wrong.
Jiang Group had already declared bankruptcy; how could they possibly have any power to discuss cooperation? Under the current circumstances, it’d be good if others didn’t avoid them.
"Yes, the Jiang Family."
"Mr. Wang, didn’t the Jiang Group... recently..."
"Yes, I know, the Jiang Family indeed did... But since their intentions were good, I agreed. Mr. Li, it seems you may have been... kept in the dark."
Li Wanshan was very surprised, "What’s the matter?"
"Last month, I specifically went to Jin City to meet your nephew... Li Zishen, in his office. Unfortunately, he refused me."
Hearing this, Li Wanshan’s heart tensed up, understanding it was the matter regarding the special medicine.
How could he not know? He knew all too well!
The rumored partnership was not for auto parts or building materials, but for special medicine, which was simply an absurd and dubious proposition.
He was trying to oust Li Zishen and take his place, but he wouldn’t wager the entire family’s fate.
He knew very well what was more important.
"Mr. Li, are you alright?"
"Oh, so that’s it, it’s a pity. Don’t blame him, Mr. Wang; my nephew... he’s indeed a bit... Well, he’s young, after all, please bear with him!" Li Wanshan forced a smile.
This trip wasn’t in vain!
Wang Junchen’s lips slightly curled, he quickly waved his hand, "No worries, there will be opportunities in the future."
