The timeline goes back to a day before Xiaofan encountered the second assassination attempt.

Several uninvited guests came to Chen Baicheng's home. Chen Baicheng usually doesn't meet guests easily unless they have a reason he has to see.

When a business deal with over ten billion in profits is in front of him, Chen Baicheng naturally has to see these figures.

Three people from the other side, very polite when they saw Chen Baicheng, but when it came to discussing the business content, Chen Baicheng suddenly burst into a rage.

After mixing in the underworld for so many years, some things are completely untouchable, once touched, you can never recover.

His achievements today were not by chance, but entirely because of his foresight, establishing an empire step by step.

To make money, you have to take unconventional paths. When starting, Chen Baicheng naturally wasn't so disciplined; gambling was one of the best ways to grow, followed by prostitution. But neither of these can be too big, only petty crime. Protection fees, organizing events, finding bosses, those need doing, but he, Chen Baicheng, would not touch 'drugs.'

Getting caught with gambling or prostitution won't get you killed, but once drugs are involved, it's a point of no return. To establish a foothold under the emperor's feet, hasn't Chen Baicheng considered all this?

Now, these three people's appearance directly demands his business sells the drugs they brought. At that moment, Chen Baicheng lost his temper and wanted to kick them out.

However, since the other party can mention a hundred billion at the start, it must not be a simple background.

"I, Chen, can't handle this business, you two should leave first." Despite losing his temper, guests are still guests, so Chen Baicheng didn't immediately have them thrown out.

"Such a huge batch of goods, without Mr. Chen's help from behind, it might be hard for us to operate in Capital City. If there's any issue with the price, we can discuss it slowly." This was the exact words from the other side.

"I, Chen Baicheng, am not short of money, and I absolutely won't allow you to sell these things on my turf. You better leave quickly while I haven't called the police." Chen Baicheng's refusal was very direct.

"Mr. Chen, leave some room for maneuver in life, don't do things too absolutely. We've already contacted many gangs, they're all willing to cooperate with us. If, by then, Mr. Chen alone doesn't cooperate, wouldn't that be too disrespectful?" The words from the other side undoubtedly displayed their strength.

"Face is not given lightly, and not everyone can accept the face of me, Chen."

"Chen Baicheng, don't you..."

"Eh...if the deal doesn't work, let the friendship remain, let's end today here, Mr. Chen, we will leave first." One person from the other side was obviously a bit impatient but was stopped by a companion.

"No need to see off." Chen Baicheng said irritably.

"We will meet again in the future."

"Humph."

This is what happened before Chen Mei'Er was kidnapped. At that time, Chen Baicheng didn't think much.

And Chen Mei'Er often played for a whole day, so until the afternoon, Chen Baicheng did not realize his daughter had been kidnapped.

By evening, those three people came again. This time, they were accompanied by Luo Wei, Chen Baicheng's arch-enemy from the Giant Dragon Gang.

To become an arch-enemy of Chen Baicheng, they definitely had a big background.

Luo Wei, who also started out alongside Chen Baicheng, if Chen Baicheng could be considered the boss in Capital City, then Luo Wei would be the second in command.

Although Luo Wei's strength wasn't as great as Chen Baicheng's, his scale was close. Moreover, the two often had open and covert struggles in business, thus becoming arch-enemies.

That is to say, in Capital City, Luo Wei is the only one daring enough to confront Chen Baicheng.

"Luo Wei, I used to respect you as someone, but now it seems, you're nothing more." But when seeing Luo Wei appear with the previous three people, Chen Baicheng naturally understood Luo Wei had already partnered with them. If slightly watched by the police, no matter how big your business grows, you would equally be caught. At worst imprisoned, at worst executed, there's nothing to discuss.

"Eh, those who understand the times are Junjie. Once, we were all struggling in the lower echelons, the only thing that gives me the most security in this world is money, as long as there's money, I'm willing to fight for anything." Luo Wei retorted.

"When you're shot, just wait for others to count your money." Chen Baicheng glanced and said, "Look at the world, the grand prospects, doesn't the money you have is enough for you to spend? Why take such a big risk?"

Hero cherishes hero, Chen Baicheng also didn't want his only opponent to go down the wrong path. Trying to persuade him to turn back.

"Chen Baicheng, when did you become so timid? Fortune favors the bold, you think this deal only brings a hundred billion? Do you know how much support is behind? By then, you'll not be my opponent anymore." Luo Wei laughed heartily.

"Then what are you doing here? So many benefits, no need to share with me." Chen Baicheng asked sternly.

"Alright, I admit your strength in Capital City, Chen Baicheng. To handle this business, I hope to ally with you. By then..."

"Enough, Luo Wei, you all should leave. Gui, see the guests out...from now on, don't let them in, there's nothing to talk about." Chen Baicheng said, getting up to go upstairs, without looking at those people again.

"Chen Baicheng, at that time, don't come begging me. The current times are chaotic, many leaders of small gangs outside died strangely." Saying this, Luo Wei left the Chen family gate with the three men.

The last sentence was a threat, but Chen Baicheng wouldn't care about these. However, he could ignore himself, but couldn't ignore others.

While walking in the middle of the stairs, Chen Baicheng suddenly stopped.

"Has anyone seen Miss today?"

"No, Miss said she was going to find Brother Ye early this morning and hasn't come back since." A brother downstairs immediately replied.

"Brother Ye, you call him so affectionately. These two guys better hurry up and give me a grandson. Yesterday they told me not to trouble Ye Xiaofan anymore, saying it was impossible, today they ran off again." Chen Baicheng grumbled.

"Hehe, Brother Cheng, actually, that Brother Ye is quite a man, back then didn't we have our hands twisted by him? Later he even gave some money. A decent young lad, he and Miss make a great couple." The brother praised.

"Hmm, you have good eyes. That kid is indeed not bad..." Chen Baicheng chuckled thinking about whether to call his daughter to check up on her and as he reached for his phone, it rang, surprisingly from Ye Xiaofan.

"Hello..."

"Uncle Chen, has Mei'Er come home? I called her but couldn't get through, her car is parked below my building, and the car door is unlocked. I'm worried something might have happened to her?" On the other side, Xiaofan anxiously asked.
