Chapter 539: Heading to Yijing

One day later.

Lin Changguan transferred his shares to Lin Wanxue, and at the same time, Lin Wanxue was promoted to Vice Chairman of Lin Corporation.

Lin Changguan remains the Chairman.

But it is evident that once Lin Changguan steps down, Lin Wanxue will be the undisputed successor.

With that, the Lin Family’s drama finally comes to an end.

Lin Rong and Lin Yao, who were released early from prison, were sent to Southeast Asia to manage business operations. They have essentially been exiled from Hong Kong and pose no threat to Lin Wanxue.

Harboring resentment toward Xu Shaochen, Lin Kai begrudgingly boarded the plane to Mg Country. With the backing of the Power of Money, he successfully secured an admission letter from MIT.

So it turns out, money can indeed buy knowledge.

“Do you want me to see you off?”

Lin Wanxue closed her eyes, basking in the afterglow of a passionate encounter. Her hair was disheveled, and her pretty face slightly flushed, as she mumbled.

It was apparent that she had just gone through an intense battle, and her fair, delicate body bore Xu Shaochen’s marks.

“No need. Just rest well. You can visit me in the mainland when you have time.”

Xu Shaochen replied casually. Now that the matters in Hong Kong had been resolved, it was time for him to leave. The issues with the Tan Family still needed to be addressed.

Moreover, Liu Rushuang had already arrived in Yijing, and Xu Shaochen needed to rush over to meet her today.

Originally, he had planned for Liu Rushuang to go to Yijing a few days earlier to sign the contract with the Tan Family, but an unexpected situation arose in Jiangzhou, causing the delay until now.

According to Xu Shaochen’s speculation, this ‘unexpected situation’ in Jiangzhou was likely a deliberate maneuver by the Lan Family to delay Liu Rushuang.

But it works out fine; he could personally oversee the signing of the contract and see who dares to stir up trouble.

Yesterday, Tan Ling, Tan Chen, and Liu Chao had already returned to Yijing in advance because the situation with the Tan Family had become quite dire.

According to the information leaked by the ‘moles’ within the Lan Family alliance, the Yun Clan and Ye Family, Xu Shaochen understood that their suppression of the Tan Family had been extremely harsh recently.

The Tan Family’s herbal medicine and pharmaceutical companies had both been shut down. As for the reasons, if they wanted to accuse someone, there was always a way to do it. The Tan Family was in turmoil internally; if Xu Shaochen didn’t arrive in Yijing soon, the family might collapse and capitulate.

“Thank you.”

Lin Wanxue opened her eyes. She was unsure how to define her relationship with Xu Shaochen.

From the beginning, she had been at a disadvantage in front of Xu Shaochen. Now, she was gradually beginning to like the feeling of being controlled by him.

So when Xu Shaochen said he was leaving, she felt an anxiety rise within her—like a stray cat being abandoned by its master, lost and without a place to belong.

Xu Shaochen was slightly taken aback. He turned around and pinched her cheek: “What are you thanking me for? This is just what I should do.”

“Lin Corporation is mine, and I am always yours. Whether you treat me as a plaything or a pet, as long as you don’t abandon me, that’s fine.”

Lin Wanxue sat up and hugged Xu Shaochen from behind. Her soft skin pressed against his body, stirring up a new wave of desire in him.

“How could I ever abandon you? Don’t overthink it.”

Xu Shaochen softly reassured her. Frankly, he had no real feelings for Lin Wanxue, but he didn’t mind having an additional woman.

Especially since this woman held control over a corporation spanning all of Southeast Asia. For that reason alone, Xu Shaochen could never abandon her.

Alright, he acknowledged it—he was a complete scoundrel, binding women to him with emotions to ultimately achieve his goals.

Take now, for example. Whether or not he had feelings for Lin Wanxue, at least Lin Wanxue was now fully dependent on him.

“Let’s do it again.”

Lin Wanxue suddenly suggested.

“If we wait any longer, I’ll miss my flight.” Xu Shaochen frowned. Was this woman crazy? How many times did she want it?

But Lin Wanxue was unyielding. Or rather, this was the first time she defied Xu Shaochen’s wishes: “You promised that our first child would have my last name. If you don’t work harder, who am I supposed to have a child with?”

“Besides, it’s still early before your boarding time. We can hurry.”

Xu Shaochen sighed. Hurry up? You’re putting too much pressure on me, Fat Tiger.

In the end, Xu Shaochen was half-pushed into being harvested by Lin Wanxue once more.

When he left the villa, he felt like his waist was about to break.

Ah, the folly of youth—when you don’t know how precious energy is. Tears only come when you’re too old to do anything about it.

As for Lin Wanxue, she now could not even get up to send off Xu Shaochen. After all, she had just fought a battle that left her in a weakened state.

“Boss.”

Long Yi stepped forward to take the suitcase from Xu Shaochen, and Long Er opened the car door.

“If you keep indulging yourself like this, you’ll likely shorten your lifespan.”

Inside the car, Mei Liangxin, who had been waiting for him, couldn’t resist teasing him when he got in.

Xu Shaochen raised an eyebrow: “What are you thinking? We were just discussing business.”

“Yes, but your business conversation was so loud that not only we but the bystanders outside could hear it as well.”

Mei Liangxin nodded seriously with a straight face and pointed toward the outer window of the villa.

Xu Shaochen looked up and noticed that the bedroom window was left open…

You can imagine how many people must have heard Lin Wanxue’s loud voice just now.

“You’re just jealous. You’re clearly envious of my abilities, so I’m not going to argue with you.”

Xu Shaochen smirked. If they heard, they heard—at least they got a glimpse of his prowess.

The convoy started up and drove straight to the airport.

The car was from Lin Corporation. After arriving at the airport, Xu Shaochen, along with Long Yi and a group of bodyguards, parted ways with Mei Liangxin.

Mei Liangxin was heading to Xinyang City, while Xu Shaochen was bound for Yijing City—two different destinations.

According to Mei Liangxin, he was going to Xinyang for a matchmaking meeting. His cousin had introduced him to a girl.

Mei Liangxin didn’t have a close relationship with his relatives and could only say his connection with this cousin was somewhat distant, neither good nor bad. His cousin would hand out red envelopes evenly to everyone during the holidays, just like anyone else.

But since his cousin had specifically called him, it wouldn’t be good if he didn’t go.

So, he had to go take a look, at the very least to pay respects to the elder.

Xu Shaochen, with a flourish, booked the entire first-class cabin again to avoid encountering any strange people causing unnecessary trouble.

After more than five hours of flight, the plane landed at Yijing International Airport at 3 p.m.

Since they had given prior notice, members of the Tan Family would be at the airport to receive them.

“Hello, Mr. Xu. A pleasure to meet you. I’m Tan Siming.”

As soon as they stepped out of the airport, a group of people approached them. Leading them was Tan Siming, flanked by Tan Ling, Tan Chen, and others.

Xu Shaochen also extended a hand to shake Tan Siming’s: “Greetings, Mr. Tan.”

“Mr. Xu, let’s take you to your accommodations first. We’ll host a welcoming dinner for you tonight. Miss Liu is already waiting there for you.”

Tan Siming invited Xu Shaochen and his group as they headed toward a line of parked Mercedes cars on the roadside.

Although he was anxious, he didn’t show it and instead focused on letting Xu Shaochen rest first.
