Chen Fan shook his head noncommittally.
"Chen Fan, can you stop pretending?" Su Yingxia said with disdain, "Hurry up and kneel before Young Master Long and beg him to find you a better job."
However, in the next second.
"Click."
The key was inserted into the lock, and the sound of the door locking was particularly jarring.
Then, a scene that made Jiang Shaolong and Su Yingxia disbelieve occurred.
The door to Villa No. 1 was actually opened by Chen Fan?
This was absolutely impossible!
Would the owner of Villa No. 1 give the key to an hourly worker?
Or…
Chen Fan was the owner of Villa No. 1?
Su Yingxia quickly dismissed the idea, impossible!
How could Chen Fan afford Villa No. 1?
If Jiang Shaolong couldn't do it, could Chen Fan, a good-for-nothing, do it?
It was simply a dream.
Jiang Shaolong pointed at Chen Fan and sneered, "Good, you dare to make a copy of the key. Do you know this is a crime! I'm calling the police now."
"You just wait to go to jail."
Yes, it must be like this.
Su Yingxia was also sure that Chen Fan had secretly made a copy of the key just to show off in front of her.
"Who lives in Villa No. 1? If you make a copy of the key, you'll go to jail."
In her eyes, Chen Fan was completely finished this time.
Someone with no money, no power, and no background could only have a miserable end.
Chen Fan turned back, looking at the two as if they were fools.
Their villa owner was standing right here, yet these two were still acting like clowns.
Chirping incessantly.
Jiang Shaolong was about to say something else.
Chen Fan had already swaggered into the villa, looking as if he were returning to his own home.
"Still good at pretending!"
Thinking of Chen Fan's humble appearance in the Su family for the past three years, Su Yingxia sneered.
Just a complete scumbag!
"Should we call the police?"
Su Yingxia turned to Jiang Shaolong and asked, her expression wishing Chen Fan would be in prison right now.
Jiang Shaolong thought for a moment and shook his head, "It's still too early. We don't know if Chen Fan has stolen anything from the villa. Even if he did, he would secretly put it back when he saw the police coming."
"In that case, we can't do anything to him, at most a few days in detention."
"But once we hear news that something very important is missing from the villa, we'll call the police then and step forward to accuse Chen Fan. He'll definitely be in trouble."
"This way, we can also gain the villa owner's favor. Kill two birds with one stone!"
Thinking of using Chen Fan to get close to the mysterious owner of Villa No. 1, Jiang Shaolong became excited again.
Su Yingxia snuggled into Jiang Shaolong's shoulder like a kitten, looking up at him with adoration, "Darling, you always think ahead!"
Jiang Shaolong let out a proud sound. This time, he would settle all his old and new grievances!
The two, thinking they had caught Chen Fan red-handed, happily returned to the Su family, arranging for people to monitor Villa No. 1 while meticulously preparing for the wedding.
Su Yingxia and the other women of the Su family went to Hangzhou's largest bridal shop to try on wedding dresses, while Jiang Shaolong was responsible for sending out invitations.
Jiang Shaolong sat in front of the computer and opened an Excel spreadsheet, which contained contact information and addresses of various social elites.
These social elites were sent different levels of invitations based on their social status.
For those with less influence, Jiang Shaolong would make a phone call and mail them a regular invitation.
For those with more influence, they would notify their families to arrange for someone to personally visit and deliver a VIP invitation.
The highest level was the diamond invitation, specifically for inviting big shots in politics and business.
After two hours of work, there were only two names left on the list of elites to contact.
The owner of Villa No. 1 and Director Yang of Shengshi Group.
Jiang Shaolong had prepared the highest level diamond invitations for both of them.
As for the former, let's not talk about it for now, but the latter was completely unreachable!
Jiang Shaolong called Director Yang more than ten times, but all calls indicated that the other party's phone was turned off.
Even stranger, he specifically found a former colleague who worked at Shengshi Group to ask about Director Yang's situation, only to be told that Director Yang had gone abroad!
"Gone abroad?"
Jiang Shaolong hung up the phone, feeling frustrated.
Little did he know that Director Yang had not gone abroad at all. He had dressed up meticulously that morning, sneaked out of his house, taken a taxi about a kilometer away, and after a dozen detours, arrived at a luxurious high-end teahouse, entering a secluded private room.
"You're here?"
Inside the private room, as soon as Director Yang sat down, a cool voice came from behind the screen.
Director Yang found the voice somewhat unfamiliar and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to know by asking me here?"
"Mr. Long!"
The cool voice behind the screen sounded again.
Director Yang's body trembled, and he was shocked, "I have nothing to say about Mr. Long! I can't tell you anything!"
"Thirty million!"
"What do you mean?"
"As long as you reveal even a little information about Mr. Long, this money is yours."
As soon as the voice finished, a slender finger emerged from behind the screen, holding a check for thirty million.
"Do you think I, Yang, would betray Mr. Long for a mere thirty million?"
Director Yang stood up abruptly, feeling somewhat angry.
"No, no, no, I think you've misunderstood. My master is a friend of Mr. Long. We haven't seen each other for three years, and he misses Mr. Long dearly. He is eager to meet Mr. Long."
The cool voice quickly explained.
"Why should I believe you?" Director Yang said coldly.
"If you don't believe me, surely you believe this card?"
"Purple Thorn Dragon Card!"
Director Yang exclaimed.
The Purple Thorn Dragon Card was unique to Longteng Group, and each card was personally issued by Mr. Long. Anyone who possessed this card was definitely not Mr. Long's enemy!
"Well, can you tell me now?"
Director Yang stared blankly at the Purple Thorn Dragon Card and fell silent.
"Heh heh, thirty million is a bit too little. To show my sincerity, I have one hundred million here. If Director Yang finds it acceptable, you can take it for tea."
After speaking, another black bank card was pushed out from behind the screen.
One hundred million?
Just to inquire about some information about Mr. Long?
Even though Director Yang was experienced, his eyes widened, and he even felt it was unbelievable.
But upon further reflection, he felt relieved.
Someone who could be friends with Mr. Long, one hundred million was not much.
"Su family's son-in-law!"
Director Yang uttered these four words and then turned to leave the private room, without touching the black card with one hundred million on it, from beginning to end.
…
At the same time, what happened to Director Yang also happened to other high-level executives of Shengshi Group.
Although Shengshi Group tried its best to block the news, there was no impermeable wall in the world. Some incredibly powerful top families, through various means, had already discovered some clues about Mr. Long!
"Shocking! Mr. Long, the actual controller of the former top financial group in Dahuaxia, has mysteriously disappeared for three years and has now suddenly appeared in Hangzhou. What are his intentions?"
"Mr. Long has appeared at Shengshi Group, a subsidiary of Longteng Group. It is rumored that Mr. Long has been in hiding at Shengshi Group for the past three years."
"According to reliable sources, Jiang Shaolong, the son-in-law of the Su family, is suspected to be the legendary Mr. Long!"
These pieces of news exploded like heavy bombs among the top families in the capital, stirring up immense waves.
Who was Mr. Long?
The true boss of Dahuaxia's number one financial group, who single-handedly created the current booming Longteng Group!
A legendary figure in the financial world, who once single-handedly resisted an international financial crisis and ensured the stable development of Dahuaxia's financial market.
There were even rumors that he was so wealthy that he controlled one-tenth of the world's wealth.
In an instant, various top families became restless, all preparing generous gifts and setting off for Hangzhou to attend the grand wedding hosted by Mr. Long!
