Chapter 283 Before the wind rises, the rain falls first!
There is no airtight wall in the world.
The incident at the engagement ceremony between Chen Ning and Emperor Yan Qing spread throughout certain special circles in the imperial capital in the afternoon, and spread across the country in an unstoppable way.
Because... anyone with a discerning eye knows exactly what kind of chain reaction this incident will cause.
A storm is gathering quietly. No one can guess when it will sweep over, but before that, those who are about to be involved in this storm need to prepare in advance.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, outside the Fifth Ring Road, in a villa.
Bai Xue Shan, as usual, was wearing a black cloak and sitting on the sofa in the living room, with an unprecedented fear on his face.
"Crack!"
He held a cigar and tried to light it to anesthetize himself with nicotine. However, he was too nervous and failed to light the cigarette several times. In the end, he dropped the lighter directly on the ground.
"Whoosh!"
Bai Xueshan seemed to be crazy, grabbed the cigar and threw it out.
This time, as if all his strength had been exhausted, he leaned weakly on the sofa, breathing heavily and trembling all over.
At this moment, this black-gold grassroots who once relied on his own efforts to gain a firm foothold in the imperial capital completely lost his former vigor and looked like a living dead, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.
All this is just because of a phone call.
Ten minutes ago, a friend in the system called and told him everything about the Yanjing Hotel that morning.
He didn't know when he hung up the phone - when he heard that the Fan family had fallen into the abyss because of the young man from the Chen family, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and immediately let go of the phone.
A friend in the system said something, but he never heard it, or even if he did, he couldn't listen to it.
Fan family.
Bai Xueshan knew very well how powerful these two words were in Yanjing. Otherwise, when he learned that he had kicked the iron plate that day, he would not be more effeminate than a sissy and knelt at Fan Xian's feet, praying to Fan Xian.
Come forward.
Originally, he thought that if Fan Xian came forward, the energy of the Fan family would be enough to trample the fierce dragon crossing the river to death!
He never dreamed that the fierce dragon crossing the river would suddenly transform into a local snake!
And it’s a local snake that no one dares to touch!
If the two words "Fan family" are enough to make Bai Xueshan change his color, then the two words "Chen family" are enough to make Bai Xueshan wet his pants in fear.
After working hard in Yanjing for so many years, Bai Xueshan knows better than anyone how terrifying the Chen family, which has supreme authority in the military, is.
But because he wanted to please Fan Xian, he tried to squeeze into certain special circles in Yanjing and sent people to assassinate that young man from the Chen family.
This directly sentenced him to death!
In the twilight——
Bai Xueshan smiled, his smile full of self-deprecation.
"Baixueshan, Baixueshan, haven't you always warned yourself to be careful and careful every step of the way? You even regard the phrase 'Be careful to sail a ship that lasts for thousands of years' as your aphorism. Now, you are here like a dog.
After crawling for more than ten years, I finally became a human being, but in the end, I made one mistake and regretted it for eternity. I was trying to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain. Do you think you are stupid?"
"You should be able to imagine that someone of Fan Xian's level who dares to offend is definitely not a cat or dog on the street who can be pinched to death at will. But... why didn't you go investigate in advance and choose to strike blindly? Yes.
Are you too eager to get things done?"
"What's even more ridiculous is that you still expected the Fan family to help you get rid of the trouble, but you didn't expect that the Fan family would become scapegoats, right?"
"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!"
In the hall, Bai Xueshan seemed to be completely crazy. After muttering to himself, he laughed wildly.
He laughed so wildly that he burst into tears.
I don’t know how long it took, but a piercing siren sounded outside the villa.
Ten minutes later, Bai Xue Shan, who once dominated the underworld circles of the imperial capital and was known as the hungry wolf, was taken away.
At the same time, after receiving the notice from above, people from a certain special department stopped their Spring Festival break and went directly to the Fan family, taking away some powerful figures including the head of the Fan family for investigation.
Fan Xian, on the other hand, was taken away by the police just like Snow Mountain.
The tornado has not yet started, but the storm suddenly comes!
…
Perhaps because he has been too busy this year, Su Qinghai planned to have a good rest. After calling the Chen family on New Year's Eve to say New Year greetings, he turned off his mobile phone and planned to spend some time with him during the New Year.
Wife Qin Guizhen.
Because...he knew that he owed Qin Guizhen and her daughter too much...too much...
For this reason, he did not know about the great changes in Yanjing.
Under such a situation, Su Qinghai felt very baffled when a certain shopping mall tycoon with huge influence in the jewelry industry came to visit him in the afternoon.
The visitor's surname is Fang and his given name is Cheng. He is from Yanjing. His ancestors have been in the jewelry business for several generations.
Although the continuous turmoil of the last century had a huge impact on the Fang family's business and even almost declined, in Fang Cheng's generation, Fang Cheng relied on his extraordinary business acumen to help the Fang family rise again.
If Su Qinghai has now entered the top circles of the power and energy industry, then the Fang family is one of the giants in the jewelry industry.
However...despite this, Su Qinghai and Fang Cheng had never interacted with each other. They only met by chance at a charity meeting.
For this reason, Su Qinghai was deeply surprised by Fang Cheng's sudden arrival. Especially when he saw that Fang Cheng looked ugly, his doubts became even more intense.
Although she was extremely curious as to why Fang Cheng was looking for her, Su Qinghai did not ask directly. Instead, she led Fang Cheng into the house. When Qin Guizhen saw the guests, she immediately made tea and water.
"Mr. Su, please forgive me for coming uninvited on this special day." Sitting on the sofa, Fang Cheng did not touch the tea on the table, but looked at Su Qinghai with a worried look and said, "Fang is really
It’s out of necessity.”
"Oh?" Su Qinghai frowned slightly and said: "Mr. Fang, if I remember correctly, you and I only met once at a charity meeting, and we have no business contacts, and there is no relationship.
What kind of friendship? I'm very curious, what happened that made you come to me?"
Although Su Qinghai didn't know what happened to Fang Cheng, his intuition told him that this matter was not simple, otherwise Fang Cheng would not have come uninvited and looked worried.
In Fang Cheng's view, Su Qinghai should have known about the changes in Yanjing City for a long time, and if he knew, he could naturally guess his purpose.
Now that he heard what Su Qinghai said, Fang Cheng was a little confused - he didn't know whether Su Qinghai really didn't know, or whether he was asking knowingly.
"Mr. Su, I'm here to apologize and ask for forgiveness." After hesitating for a moment, Fang Cheng got straight to the point and explained his purpose.
Su Qinghai was stunned: "Come to apologize?"
When Su Qinghai's shocked expression fell into Fang Cheng's eyes, Fang Cheng understood that Su Qinghai probably really didn't know about Yanjing.
Because...you can't pretend to be surprised from the bottom of your heart.
Understanding this, Fang Cheng asked: "Mr. Su, is it possible that you still don't know about the major event that happened in Yanjing City?"
"What's the matter?" Su Qinghai asked with a frown.
"That matter is related to your daughter and your future son-in-law." Fang Cheng said with a complex expression: "The thing is like this..."
Later, Fang Cheng told Su Qinghai everything that happened at the engagement ceremony between Chen Ning and Emperor Yan Qing, including the cause and effect of that incident.
After listening to Fang Cheng's narration, Su Qinghai fell silent.
Even though he was not within the system, he knew very well how terrifying the chain reaction caused by this incident would be.
His expression became extremely solemn for a moment.
Fang Cheng, on the other hand, had a worried expression on his face.
For a man with a single-digit net worth, he has rarely been humbled by others in his life, let alone felt as unsure as he did at this moment.
Coming to find Su Qinghai was a decision he made repeatedly.
In his opinion, although he was not in the store that day, and his employees finally let Chen Fan and Fan Xian compete for the pair of agate earrings in the form of an auction, but before that...his employees had to pay attention to Fan Xian's special status because of his special status.
They forcibly prevented Chen Fan and Susan from buying that earring!
To put it mildly, it’s just to curry favor with Fan Xian, but to put it worse, it’s just to bully others!
This filled Fang Cheng's heart with worry.
Because... he knew very well that that incident could be regarded as one of the triggers for the big events that followed.
Therefore, he flew from Yanjing to Su Qinghai as soon as possible, trying to break through from Su Qinghai and reduce big things to trivial matters.
"Mr. Su, these are the treasures I have acquired from home and abroad over the years. Each one is priceless. Since Ling Qianjin likes jewelry, he will definitely like these treasures." When Su Qinghai was silent, Fang Cheng opened the
The black leather box he was carrying contained four boxes. When the boxes were opened, four pieces of jewelry were immediately revealed.
Even though Su Qinghai has no research on jewelry, he can guess with his toes that the value of these four pieces of jewelry is definitely not low, each one is at least nine figures!
However... Su Qinghai did not take the box. In fact, his eyes only paused on the box for a moment and then looked away: "Boss Fang, take these things back."
Hearing Su Qinghai's words in shock, Fang Cheng's whole body was shaken violently, and his expression also changed drastically!
The reason why he came to Su Qinghai was because Su Qinghai had a special status. If Su Qinghai came forward, the crisis could be resolved. Now that Su Qinghai refused, he was dumbfounded!
Because he couldn't and didn't dare to go directly to the Chen family!
As for...finding someone else to go to the Chen family to intercede...
This is even more impossible!
At this juncture, no matter how much money is spent, no one dares to touch the Chen family's bad luck!
"Boss Fang, I understand what you mean." Seeing Fang Cheng's panicked expression, Su Qinghai said sternly: "But I hope you understand that I, Su Qinghai, am not short of money. Compared with my wealth, I may not be able to compare with you!"
After vaguely thinking about the chain reaction caused by the breakdown of the relationship between the Chen family and the Yan family, Su Qinghai returned the topic to the purchase of agate earrings, with a rather unkind tone.
Obviously, he himself was not comfortable with the way Fang Cheng's employees worked.
"I know..." Fang Cheng tried to explain something with a bitter mouth.
"Let's go!" Su Qinghai didn't give Fang Cheng a chance to explain: "The only thing I can promise you is: I won't pursue this matter. As for the Chen family, you wish for it!"
Fang Cheng's face darkened. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. Instead, he put away the four pieces of jewelry with a depressed expression and said goodbye to Su Qinghai.
After Fang Cheng left, Su Qinghai went into the study alone.
In the study, he sat on a wicker chair and lit a cigarette.
In the smoke, his brows were tightly knitted together, his expression extremely solemn.
I don't know how long it took, a cigarette burned out, Su Qinghai slowly put out the cigarette butt, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the blue sky outside the window, laughed at himself and said: "Mr. Chen, he has eaten more salt in his whole life than I have.
There is still a lot of rice, why haven’t we seen big winds and waves? His old man will definitely handle this matter properly, and I won’t have to worry about it here.”
After the words fell, Su Qinghai's face no longer showed any worry.
Because he knew that the old man who was nearly over 100 years old used the Chen family as a chessboard to fight for his whole life and never lost!
