Chapter 662: Setting a Trap for Yu Wenlong

Chen Yang wasn't worried about Yu Wenlong using company money to buy game gear; he actually thought five thousand yuan was a bit low.

As the saying goes, "He who takes someone's money is at their mercy"—the more Yu Wenlong spent of Chen Yang's money, the more embarrassed he felt about helping Deputy Secretary Yu act against him.

So he had Cheng Xiao Xiao tell Yu Wenlong that as long as he could find a business opportunity in the game, spending a little money was fine.

As for how Yu Wenlong would discover business opportunities, with an undercover assistant helping, Chen Yang wasn't worried.

After finishing his instructions, Chen Yang called Chu Min.

"Chu Min, there's a job where you get paid without doing anything—are you in?"

"Chen Yang, is there really such a good thing? You're not messing with me, are you?"

"What's in it for me to mess with you? Just say yes or no. If you don't take it, I'll find someone else."

"I'll take it, I'll take it, I'll take it! What's the job?"

"It's like this: I bought a game server where you can purchase memberships and game gear. To keep players from knowing I'm the behind-the-scenes boss, I need a stranger's bank account to receive this game income."

"If you're interested, go set up a new bank account to receive this money. Remember, don't use your own bank account."

"Oh oh, I get it. Although I don't know who you're trying to screw over, for the sake of the money I'm willing to cooperate unconditionally."

"Then hurry up and get that bank account sorted—preferably today."

"No problem!"

After hanging up with Chu Min, Chen Yang returned to his computer.

At that point, Yu Wenlong had already bought top-tier gear and was shouting outside the safe zone all afternoon.

Chen Yang pretended to go out and fight him once, then feigned defeat and flew back to the safe zone.

"Loser, I've got things to do and need to go out. Wait till I buy new gear tonight and come beat you!"

Having said that, Chen Yang didn't give Yu Wenlong a chance to spew insults and logged off directly.

After shutting down the computer, Chen Yang called Luo Hao, asking his team to upgrade the private server's system, raising the game and equipment levels to a higher tier, and then embed a game top-up function.

After giving those instructions, Chen Yang felt a bit sleepy and went back to bed for a nap.

Around noon, Chu Min's call came through, giving him a newly opened bank account.

Chen Yang then forwarded that bank account to Luo Hao, asking him to link the account to the private server's top-up system.

That way, the money Yu Wenlong spent in the game would no longer end up in someone else's pocket.

Of course, to keep the private server's popularity, Chen Yang didn't completely cut off the money-making opportunity for non-paying players.

He deliberately increased the drop rate of new equipment from top-tier bosses, and also allowed the new gear to be freely bought and sold.

However, Chen Yang also felt that this kind of private server game is indeed easy to get addicted to.

To avoid affecting normal life, he handed his game account over to a few of his bodyguards to operate, having them monitor Yu Wenlong's game character around the clock.

Of course, he also couldn't beat him too badly; he needed Yu Wenlong to feel he was only slightly inferior to Chen Yang's character, prompting him to find ways to improve himself.

After going back and forth for an afternoon, Yu Wenlong again spent twenty thousand yuan from the company account on game fees.

After work hours, Cheng Xiao Xiao called again to complain to Chen Yang.

"Chairman, you should still intervene! Yu Wenlong kid is already hooked. Not only did he spend twenty-five thousand yuan on game gear, he also gathered all the company's new employees into the game he's playing."

Chen Yang had already guessed that Yu Wenlong would call for help when he couldn't win, but he didn't expect the other side to be so shameless as to summon the whole company to gang up on his game character.

"General Manager Cheng, everyone in the company are new colleagues; Deputy General Manager Yu having them play a game is probably meant to strengthen team cohesion. You don't need to worry about this—let Vice President Yu do as he pleases."

"Chairman, what about him spending twenty-five thousand yuan a day—shouldn't we care about that?"

"Well… we still need to remind him. Although our company isn't short of money, we can't solve everything with cash. Otherwise, why would we have hired so many people?"

"Alright, will you come tomorrow?"

"I should be able to come tomorrow. If something urgent comes up unexpectedly, I'll call you ahead of time."

"OK, see you tomorrow!"

After Cheng Xiao Xiao's call ended, Chen Yang immediately had Luo Hao deliver several top-spec computers to his villa overnight.

"Two fists can't fight four hands." Since Yu Wenlong called for reinforcements, he also needed to add a few helpers—and the villa's bodyguards were just the ready-made force.

After the computers were assembled, he also had Luo Hao install a firewall, to prevent Yu Wenlong, in a fit of rage from losing, from having someone look up his IP address.

Once everything was ready, Chen Yang immediately directed the bodyguards to go online and get familiar with the game. This time, they played until the early hours before Chu Ning forcibly dragged him back to the bedroom.

"Honey, if you're still playing games after midnight, I'll just smash all the computers at home." Chu Ning didn't want Chen Yang to become a gaming-obsessed wreck, and she gave him a stern warning.

Chen Yang hadn't expected Chu Ning to get angry; he helplessly explained, "I'm just setting a trap for Yu Wenlong—I'm not really addicted to the game."

Chu Ning, with a solemn expression, told Chen Yang, "You're a public figure and a role model for many young people. If word got out that you're addicted to games, it would bring a bad influence to the outside world."

Chen Yang felt she was worrying too much. He was just playing games and hadn't done anything illegal—how could that possibly have a negative influence on young people?

"Chu Ning, if it were between playing games at home and going out to carouse, which would you let me choose?"

"Of course, games."

"Then, if it were between playing games at home and frequently traveling out on business, which would you let me choose?"

"Games!"

"Then, if it were between playing games at home and often going out to hang out with friends without coming home, which would you let me choose?"

"Games..."

"Then, if it were between playing games at home and often going outdoors to travel and challenge various extreme sports, which would you let me choose?"

"Alright, I didn't say you can't play games. But…" Chu Ning punched Chen Yang hard, dissatisfied, saying, "You need to keep your gaming in check—I can't be left guarding an empty room every night."

Chen Yang laughed, pulled her onto the bed, and softly said, "Don't worry—games aren't as important as you. I also wanted to spend more time with you, so I had everyone come into the game to keep an eye on Yu Wenlong."

Upon hearing that, Chu Ning's pretty face instantly broke into a radiant smile.

"Honey, you actually don't need to fear that Yu guy. If he dares to act against you, I'll have my grandfather step in. A son-in-law of the Chu family isn't so easy to bully."

Chen Yang gently pinched her nose and gave a wry smile: "Without your grandfather's approval, I wouldn't dare call myself a Chu family son-in-law."

Chu Ning chuckled and said, "Here's some good news: my mom is coming to Xingcheng next week. If you can convince her, getting past my grandfather will be much easier."

Chen Yang's heart suddenly felt a bit flustered. He didn't expect to meet his second mother-in-law so soon.
