Chapter 777: Zhang Jun Has Been Released from Prison

Honey, the property management just called, saying a young man has been inquiring about your information. It's said he's come several times already.

Did they leave any contact information?

No.

Then have them pull up the surveillance footage for me to see.

Chen Yang was a bit puzzled. His private phone number hasn't changed; if it were a friend or relative from his hometown, they could just call directly. If it's a stranger, what could their motive be?

He thought back, and aside from some business rivalry with traders of agricultural products in Modu, he seemed not to have offended anyone else.

Moreover, whenever he went out, Bai Ruonan's security team almost always followed him closely. Those agricultural product traders, even if they had a bit of sense, wouldn't dare do something foolish like sneaking around to strike secretly.

So, he suddenly became interested in this person inquiring about him.

Fifteen minutes later, Bai Ruonan brought in a middle-aged man wearing a security uniform from outside.

He introduced himself as the security team leader of the property company, holding a disc in his hand.

Chen Yang had Bai Ruonan insert the disc into the computer and open the video file; he saw that the man wore a baseball cap, his face was completely unfamiliar, and he didn't recall ever seeing him before.

"Captain Huang, how tall is this person, what age, and what accent is he speaking with?"

"Director Chen, I heard from the staff that he's not tall, at most about 1.65 meters. He's not over thirty years old. When he speaks, he seems to have a hint of your hometown accent."

An image of someone immediately flashed in Chen Yang's mind. Time really flies—could that guy have already been released from prison?

Chen Yang had Bai Ruonan get two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and two bottles of Moutai from the storeroom for the security team leader, as a thank-you to the security department.

After the man left, he called Chen Bing and asked him to investigate Zhang Jun's situation. The feedback was: Zhang Jun had been released from prison two months ago and had already left Dongjiang Province.

Chen Yang is no longer afraid of Zhang Jun's scheming. After the Zhang Group went bankrupt, he has no money or influence, and is utterly powerless. Even without bodyguards nearby, he could easily handle him.

But speaking of which, overt attacks are easy to dodge, hidden arrows hard to guard against. Since we know Zhang Jun is coming to cause trouble again, if we don't resolve it quickly, no one can guarantee what consequences it might bring.

Thinking this through, Chen Yang immediately had Bai Ruonan investigate all the major hotels in Modu to see if any trace of Zhang Jun could be found.

"Honey, is this Zhang Jun dangerous? Should I say hello to my uncle?" Chu Min saw Chen Yang's solemn expression and couldn't help but worry.

Chen Yang smiled and comforted her: "He's my university classmate, raised in comfort since childhood, never having suffered hardship. Even without bodyguards, there's nothing to fear."

Chu Min had never looked into Chen Yang's past, and curiously asked: "Since you're classmates, why is he coming to cause you trouble?"

Chen Yang didn't want her to think too much, so he casually said: "Just a little grudge from school days, nothing worth mentioning."

Chu Min blinked and said: "Men's grudges are nothing but power, money, and beauty. I remember you had neither power nor money back then, and your background was ordinary. So the only possibility is a rival in love."

Chen Yang was left speechless. For the first time he discovered that his woman's mind was actually quite sharp.

Chu Min suddenly gave a mischievous look at Chen Yang and said: "I remember your ex-wife was also your university classmate, right?"

Chen Yang hadn't expected her intuition to be so strong; he feigned calm and said: "It's all in the past—why bring her up?"

Chu Min spoke solemnly: "You're divorced, yet your past rival still can't forget you. Could it be… that your ex-wife also can't forget you?"

Chen Yang truly admired this woman's imagination, and said irritably: "Besides work, I spend all my time with you—don't go looking for trouble when there's none."

Chu Min pursed her lips, glared at Chen Yang, and said: "Honey, I'm just gossiping—why are you in a hurry?"

Upon hearing that, Chen Yang also felt he'd been overly tense, and immediately feigned ignorance: "Am I in a hurry? I just feel that past events are already over; digging them up again would be pointless."

Chu Min let out a soft hum and said: "You think it's meaningless, but that rival doesn't see it that way—otherwise how would he have come all the way to Modu?"

Chen Yang sighed and said: "Zhang Jun came to Modu to find me, but that actually has nothing to do with male-female matters. His family's company went bankrupt, and he and his father were sent to prison—all because I pushed things behind the scenes. This time he's out of prison, probably seeking revenge."

Chu Min curiously asked Chen Yang: "Honey, in this process, are you on the side of righteousness or villainy?"

Chen Yang gave her a look and said: "You've known me this long—have you ever seen me do anything bad?"

Chu Min laughed and shook her head. From the first time they met to now, setting aside his flirtatious flaw, Chen Yang is almost a perfect man.

A man worth tens of billions, with no bad habits, is practically a paragon in her social circle.

More importantly, although Chen Yang doesn't like to waste money, he is extremely generous toward his wife, fulfilling even unreasonable demands.

So, regarding Chen Yang's love life, she may be curious but never jealous.

As long as Chen Yang's heart now holds her, his past passionate love affairs are ultimately just fleeting clouds.

"Honey, since it's a grudge of ruined families and lives, you'd better be careful. Or I should still say hello to my uncle."

"Such a small matter, no need to bother the uncle. Let Team Leader Bai handle it."

Chen Yang didn't want to alarm Wang Tianhe. Given Zhang Jun's current situation, it would be hard for him to pose a threat.

His only concern was that the Zhang family had long held sway over both the legal and illegal sides in Qingshui City; even though most of their forces have been swept away by the police, there are bound to be some who slipped through the net. If those people also followed Zhang Jun to Modu, that would be the biggest trouble.

Three days later, thanks to the meticulous investigation of Bai Ruonan's security team, they finally found Zhang Jun's whereabouts.

He wasn't staying in a hotel, but had rented a room in an urban village in the Fujian Action District, sharing it with others.

What Chen Yang never expected was that the person sharing the rental with Zhang Jun was actually his former wife from a previous life, Zhang Meili!

Are they together?

Chen Yang quickly dismissed that possibility.

Setting aside the cousin relationship, Zhang Meili is still a looks-obsessed person; it's impossible for her to fall for the plain-looking Zhang Jun.

Moreover, Zhang Meili has three children to support and lacks any ability to survive on her own. Even if she had to make a living, it's impossible for her to follow the already down-and-out Zhang Jun.

So, Chen Yang is very curious how these two ended up coming to Modu together.
