Chapter 180 The Challenge is Issued

"Good, scram, or I'll send you to join your elder cousin!"

Lin Chen shouted at He Liang.

He Liang, as if granted a great pardon, didn't dare to say another word. He hurried into the car and drove away.

His hasty escape was so swift it almost matched the speed of a hundred-meter sprint!

This scene, witnessed by Qiao Shan nearby, was as shocking as seeing a nuclear bomb explode.

He Liang, He Feng's own brother, had been scolded by Lin Chen and dared not retort!

What's more, Lin Chen intended to go to the He family himself to demand an explanation!

Was he dreaming?

"Slap!"

Without any warning, Qiao Shan slapped Yang Lijuan, who was beside him.

"Ah! What are you doing?"

Yang Lijuan, who was engrossed in watching the drama, was stunned by Qiao Shan's sudden slap.

"How is it? Does it hurt?"

Qiao Shan looked at Yang Lijuan and asked.

"Of course, it hurts! What's wrong with you?"

Yang Lijuan asked, her face filled with disgust.

First, he declared his loyalty to the brother of his enemy, and now he publicly slapped her!

"Then it's not a dream..."

Hearing Yang Lijuan say it hurt, Qiao Shan trembled. His words left Yang Lijuan speechless.

If you suspect you're dreaming, you slap yourself! Why slap me?

If it weren't for future financial security, she would have definitely turned hostile!

"Lin Chen, have you made an enemy of the He family?"

Even Qiu Hanying was astonished.

As a native of Zhejiang Province, she was acutely aware of the He family's standing in the region.

Qiao Shan was right. The young master of the He family was someone even the provincial governor would personally toast.

One could imagine the terrifying power behind the He family.

If Lin Chen offended the He family now, his future development in Zhejiang would be incredibly difficult.

"Sort of. So, to avoid trouble, I plan to directly absorb the He family."

"How about you manage the He family's businesses from now on? What do you say?"

Lin Chen smiled lightly, his words as shocking as ever.

"What? Absorb the He family? How is that possible?"

Qiu Hanying was utterly stunned by Lin Chen's words. Even the Liu family, the foremost family in Zhejiang, couldn't achieve such a feat!

It would require the intervention of those top families from the capital.

It was impossible for Lin Chen alone.

"Hahaha, don't worry, you'll see in three days!"

Lin Chen said with full confidence, promising Qiu Hanying.

In the cultivation world, cultivators had their own set of rules. By killing He Honghui on the stage, he had forged a mortal enmity with the He family.

The elders of the He family were currently searching for him everywhere.

He had been hiding in the Longteng Hotel, unwilling to show himself. But today, due to Zhou Qing's birthday and the magnitude of the incident, the He family, given their status in Zhejiang, would surely be able to find his information.

Even if he could stay in the Longteng Hotel for the rest of his life, what about his family and friends?

Since that was the case, it was better to solve the problem once and for all!

Not only would it resolve the issue with the He family, but it would also allow him to utilize their cultivation resources to enhance his own strength. Why not?

"Don't worry, I'll bring Long Yuling with me then."

Seeing Qiu Hanying's worried expression, Lin Chen could only use Long Yuling as a cover.

"What? Long Yuling? Miss Long Yuling from the Long family?"

"The one known as the top young lady in Zhejiang, Long Yuling?"

Hearing the name, Qiao Shan exclaimed.

As a well-informed figure in Zhejiang's business circles, he deeply understood what the name Long Yuling represented.

Although people in Zhejiang's business community considered the Liu family the top family now, that wasn't entirely true.

In terms of true strength, the Long family was definitely stronger than the Liu family!

After all, the Long family had the backing of the capital. If a conflict were to erupt between the two families, would the Long family of the capital stand by idly?

The Long family was a super-rich clan ranked among the top ten in the entire Dragon Country, with intricate ties to the government.

A family on par with the nation, how bad could they be?

He thought Lin Chen was doomed after provoking the He family, but he never expected Lin Chen to have the Long family as his backer.

It seemed his decision to endure humiliation was the right one!

Following such a powerful figure, would he need to worry about his future?

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this today. Qiao Shan, you can head back first. Ms. Qiu will arrange for someone to liaise with you regarding company matters."

"Today is Qing Jie's birthday; let's not discuss anything else."

Seeing Qiao Shan's increasingly outlandish remarks, Lin Chen quickly changed the subject.

"No, no, I think your matters are more important."

"You go and handle what needs to be handled. Aunt Wang and I will go shopping together."

"I'm happy for your success, and I truly rejoice for you, sis."

Hearing that Lin Chen still remembered her at this moment, Zhou Qing was very touched and quickly urged him on.

Although she was a woman, she could tell that Lin Chen's current affairs were crucial to his future.

Even someone like Qiao Shan, after offending Lin Chen, shamelessly stayed to curry favor. It was evident that Lin Chen's development had exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Okay, sis. Don't worry, no matter what I become in the future, I'll always be your brother."

Lin Chen was touched by Zhou Qing's words.

Although their past days were difficult, Zhou Qing's family had provided him and his mother with immense warmth.

"Alright, alright, go and busy yourself. We'll take care of Aunt Wang, you can rest assured."

Zhou Qing waved her hand at Lin Chen. As Lin Chen said, regardless of their lack of blood relation, their familial bond would never change.

"I... I'll go too. I'm familiar with the nearby malls, so I can be your guide."

Yang Lijuan, standing beside them, quickly spoke up to Zhou Qing.

"I apologize for what happened before. I'm just too jealous."

Yang Lijuan was also perceptive and immediately apologized.

She knew that even Qiao Shan required her effort to please, let alone Qiu Hanying.

However, it was now evident to everyone that Qiu Hanying's attitude towards Lin Chen was more than just a casual benefactor.

Currently, almost everything was being led by Lin Chen.

Clearly, if anyone was being kept, it was Qiu Hanying, the general manager of the majestic Ruoshuang Group!

This made Lin Chen's identity even more intriguing.

He was clearly no ordinary ex-convict!

With a market value of fifty billion, even robbing banks daily wouldn't yield such wealth.
