Chapter 541: The marriage meeting feast is imminent

The car behind him sped up and arrived beside Chen Yongren.

The driver got out and opened the car door for Chen Yongren.

He got in and sat down.

The driver said in a muffled voice: "Grab the two people tailing you in the trunk."

"Throw them into the sea," Chen Yongren said concisely.

When they sank Yuan Gangxian's person, Chen Yongren also bought a warehouse near the coast.

The procedure for throwing them into the sea is also simple.

Stuff a person into an oil drum, fill it with cement, seal the opening, and sink it to the seabed.

It's convenient and quick.

Even without that little vixen Youqichuangongjingxiang, Chen Yongren also planned to use Sanqigongheren to take the blame for the counterfeit money crime; he had to kill the Sanqigong family's sole heir, and now these two lives don't matter either.

"Yes!" The driver suddenly understood, sent Chen Yongren home, then drove to the pier.

That night.

Jinmen Port's seabed now had two more bricks.

Youqichuangongjingxiang returned to the hotel; she had sneaked out to play, and as expected, she was scolded.

Facing her parents, she dared not hide anything and recounted the day's events.

But she still played a little trick, downplaying Chen Yongren's presence and emphasizing how Sanqigongheren had sent thugs to harass her.

"Sanqigongheren has liked you since childhood; doing such a foolish thing is normal." Youqichuangongshanren snorted coldly: "Your most important task now is to prepare for the upcoming marriage meeting."

"Yuan Chief cracked the envoy assassination case, perfectly resolved the suspended subsidy issue, and indirectly stimulated Jinmen's economy, becoming famous in Jingdu."

"Besides our family, many others want Yuan Chief as a son‑in‑law."

Youqichuangongjingxiang absent‑mindedly murmured agreement.

"Youqichuangongjingxiang!" Seeing this, Youqichuangongshanren's face darkened and he spoke sternly.

"Hai!" Seeing her father angry, Youqichuangongjingxiang immediately straightened her posture.

Beside Sanqigongshanren stood a woman similar in appearance but with a more mature air; she said pityingly, "Youqichuangongjingxiang is under twenty, still a child, exactly the age to love play—no matter what you say, she won't understand."

She was Youqichuangongjingxiang's mother, Youqichuangongmeiya.

"Mother still loves me best," Youqichuangongjingxiang said at once.

"This child is about to be spoiled rotten by you." Youqichuangongshanren took a deep breath and said seriously, "Our Youqichuangong family needs an heir to inherit my title."

"This is not just us; the other two palaces also want to do this."

"You know what people of our generation are like—they're either already engaged or simply not good enough for us."

Saying this, Youqichuangongshanren shook his head helplessly: "Do you really want to see the Youqichuangong line die out in our generation?"

Meiya remained silent.

Youqichuangongjingxiang lowered her head without speaking.

"No matter the final result, we must try." Youqichuangongshanren lifted his head to look at Youqichuangongjingxiang and said, "At least our Youqichuangongjingxiang is also a petite beauty."

"I believe Yuan Chief will surely be dazzled when he sees her."

"So we also have an advantage."

"Yes, Father, I understand." Youqichuangongjingxiang sighed helplessly.

……

The next day, early morning.

The two men sent to tail Chen Yongren did not return all night, vanished without a trace, and Sanqigongheren immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

He was wondering whether to send a telegram to Riben asking his father to analyze the pros and cons.

Just then a knocking sounded at the door.

"Young Master, the old master's telegram."

"What?" Sanqigongheren's face changed and he shouted, "Come in!"

The door opened.

A guard walked in holding a radio and a folder.

He placed the radio on the table, opened the folder, and said, "The old master asks how your progress with Miss Youqichuangongjingxiang is."

Sanqigongheren's eyelids twitched twice.

Besides truly liking Youqichuangongjingxiang, his father also urgently needed the votes from her family to advance his own career.

After pondering for a long time, Sanqigongheren finally said, "Reply: progress going well…"

First cheer up the old man, then speak; otherwise, if his funds are cut off, there'll be nothing to play with.

……

Chen Yongren's home.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, he played with Lin Ke Xin for a while before bidding her farewell.

Chen Yongren first went to the company to quickly check its recent situation.

Everything was developing steadily.

Since spring had not yet arrived, he couldn't run ships, so the company's business wasn't busy.

The current main business still focuses on warehouse management, maintaining old customer relations so that when work resumes there will be more orders.

The failed deal with the Black Dragon Society, as portrayed by Jinmen news media, did not cause major damage to the shipping company.

Yuan Gangxian still had revenge on his mind, looking for a chance to retaliate and rise.

Under Chen Yongren's guidance, Yuan Tian Tonggui also grew more fond of crawling under the table.

Listening to Yuan Gangxian's report, he reviewed the old and learned anew.

Perfectly matches the saying.

After confirming the company had nothing going on, Chen Yongren then went to the Special Agency and found Chi Mu Chengping.

After looking into it, the investigation of counterfeit money within the Special Higher Police still had no results.

Then, Chen Yongren, as usual, opened his scanning eye and obtained the information that the matchmaking meeting had already been set.

The time is in three days; at that time, all these personnel will be present.

I just don't know what expression that little girl will have when she meets Youqichuangongjingxiang.

"Director, you came just in time." Looking up and seeing Chen Yongren walk in, Chi Mu Chengping was very happy, gestured for Chen Yongren to sit opposite and said: "I have some good news to tell you."

"Good news?" Chen Yongren feigned surprise: "Could it be that the counterfeit case has yielded results?"

Chi Mu Chengping's expression froze, and he slightly shook his head.

"That means we've found traces of the Military Statistics Bureau agents again!" Chen Yongren said again.

"..." Chi Mu Chengping shook his head again.

"What other good news could there be?" Chen Yongren didn't understand.

"The banquet time has been set." Chi Mu Chengping directly gave the answer: "We are currently preparing the banquet; the venue is, as a matter of fact, the consulate."

"At that time, we will hold it for three consecutive days to promote relations among the various families."

"You must definitely perform well; try to bring home the daughter of the Youqichuangongjingxiang family!"

"I heard that this guy has recently been worried about his future title."

"Not only them, the other two palaces are the same."

Seeing Chen Yongren's puzzled expression, Chi Mu Chengping gave a simple explanation.

"In other words, people of my generation can't find a better choice?" Chen Yongren deliberately pursed his lips, dissatisfied, saying: "They still want me to leave offspring for them."

"You can't say that; there are also many people inferior to you, and they are not within their consideration." Chi Mu Chengping laughed loudly.

"Such matters are normal wherever they are placed; correspondingly, we can also gain more rights—this is something you need to learn to understand."

"Hai yi." Chen Yongren said: "Director understands; please, Uncle, rest assured—it's just a little Jingxiang; I guarantee I'll catch her easily."

After a pause, he deliberately asked: "Uncle, has there been any progress on the counterfeit case?"
