Chapter 1948: Chapter 1948: Killing Intent Aroused
When Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng visited the Fang Old Residence as guests, the Chen Family Old Mansion was in chaos.
The grey-haired Chen Ruchang was furiously chastising his two sons, Chen Yijing and Chen Yining.
“I’ve warned you countless tis to be careful in your actions, to ensure absolutely no mistakes, yet you still end up like this,” Chen Ruchang had already smashed a teacup in front of his sons, but even after ranting for a long while, he couldn’t relieve his anger.
Once again defeated in the gutter by a young upstart, Chen Ruchang was naturally furious and ashad.
Chen Yining and Chen Yijing were also extrely embarrassed; they never imagined things would turn out this way.
Of course, they also felt very wronged inside, especially Chen Yijing.
It was him who personally planned this matter, confident there were no flaws, only to be blindsided by Luo Ziling’s sudden kidnapping of his son, Chen Jiahu.
The security personnel around Chen Jiahu weren’t sparse, always accompanied by eight people.
These people couldn’t protect Chen Jiahu, allowing him to be kidnapped without a trace. Even Chen Yijing found it unbelievable.
He was once again reminded of the terror from the people surrounding Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling.
Chen Jiahu didn’t withstand the interrogation, confessing everything, leaving Chen Yijing utterly humiliated.
Now it’s confird that Chen Jiahu had disclosed all matters, with videos and recordings as evidence.
Chen Jiahu was rely a spoiled young master, who had never faced any setbacks, so it was understandable he couldn’t withstand the pressure during interrogation and confessed.
Their misjudgnt was not considering Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan would resort to such unconventional thods—directly taking him and conducting a surprise interrogation to get a confession.
After Chen Jiahu’s confession, Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan’s people detained a few other individuals overnight, leaving them no ti to mount a defense.
No wonder the old father was so furious.
Faced with the father’s anger, Chen Yijing didn’t even dare muster the courage to explain.
He fully understood the enormous loss this exposure would cause the Chen Family.
This loss was beyond what he could bear.
Anyway, this incident marked the end of his political career.
After this eting, it’s unlikely he’ll retain his position.
The organization will talk to him, persuading him to resign.
Opponents will also pressure him to step down.
If he doesn’t voluntarily resign, they will use disciplinary or legal asures to prevent him from performing his duties again.
More seriously, he might face legal consequences—unless he sacrifices his son.
Needless to say, Chen Yijing was more frustrated than anyone else.
Chen Yining was also filled with anger.
After his son Chen Jiahai’s death, despite he and his father applying imnse pressure on investigative agencies, the results were not optimistic.
There was no evidence pointing to Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan.
Although they knew the assassin of Chen Jiahai was certainly Luo Ziling or Ling Ruonan, under their instructions, Chen Jiahai could never have died from an accident, but without evidence, they couldn’t do anything to Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan.
Of course, when Chen Yijing and Chen Jiahu encountered issues, he felt a bit schadenfreude rather than anger.
His own son was dead, so Chen Yijing’s actions were prominent, striving to push his son Chen Jiahu forward.
Originally, Chen Jiahai was Chen Ruchang’s eldest grandson. After Chen Jiahai’s death, among the Chen family’s grandchildren, Chen Jiahu was the most prominent.
Chen Ruchang’s attitude towards him and Chen Yijing subtly changed, fearing his position as the Family Head might be in jeopardy.
The future position of Family Head was more important than having a son.
n at his age still had fertility capabilities, so it wasn’t hard if he wanted to have another son now.
He was already considering, planning to extract his wife’s eggs, perform in vitro fertilization, and place them in another woman’s womb, thereby having another child.
Anyway, after Chen Jiahai’s death, the relationship between him and Chen Yijing beca more complex.
With problems arising for Chen Yijing and Chen Jiahu, Chen Yining felt a bit like reaping the fisherman’s profits.
Therefore, while being scolded by his own father, apart from anger, there was a bit of relief.
After Chen Ruchang finished ranting and Chen Yijing admitted his mistakes and hoped Chen Ruchang would intervene, he blandly said, “The eting will be convened tomorrow, and father needs to busy himself hosting the eting and ddling with personnel arrangents. Jiahu’s incident is a fatal blow to our Chen Family. If handled poorly, it will implicate father and . Even the whole Chen Family’s interests will suffer a major hit. Father, during critical tis, exceptional asures must be taken.”
Chen Yining’s words sent a chill through Chen Yijing’s heart, making him look at his brother with disbelief.
But Chen Yining wasn’t looking at him; he was quietly waiting for Chen Ruchang to respond.
“That Ling Family bastard, since he could repeatedly carry out such unconventional actions, why hadn’t any of you thought of the sa?” Chen Ruchang remained angry, “He dared privately kidnap our Chen Family mber, why didn’t you act the sa? If we had captured his people and forced out confessions, would we still be this passive?”
Hearing his father utter such words, Chen Yining realized his old man had sowhat lost his mind, fully understanding the extent of damage this incident brought to the Chen Family.
He replied helplessly, “Father, the most important thing right now is how to safely get through the crisis. As for revenge, let’s consider it after the situation calms down. We also have to admit that in terms of secret operation capabilities, the people we have access to are far inferior to them. Therefore, by all ans, don’t let the control of Dragon Rise fall into the hands of the Luo-nad person.”
Chen Yining was determined to take control of Dragon Rise, knowing that was also Chen Ruchang’s intention.
After this incident, he was more resolved in this belief, confident that his father thought the sa way.
Who knew that after hearing Chen Yining’s words, Chen Ruchang suddenly cald down, coldly saying: “Absolutely do not let them take control of Dragon Rise. I want to see if everyone believes that factionalism within the military will result in what outco!”
Chen Yining stood there, mouth agape, unable to understand why his father thought this way.
However, Chen Ruchang didn’t listen to his words but impatiently waved his hand, “You two, find every possible way to perfectly resolve this incident. Rember, you must minimize losses, and if necessary, you can directly negotiate with that woman from the Ling Family.”
Hearing his father say this, Chen Yining felt his heart leap, clearly understanding his father’s character; the old man had developed strong murderous intent.
