You got your marriage certificate and then abandoned me? I'll feed the richest woman in the wor

The car window rolled up, and Chen Yuan looked at the date circled in red on his phone's calendar, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Now that those scoundrels are dealt with, it's time to wholeheartedly prepare for Wan Zhou's birthday."

The cold white light from the screen shone on his sharply defined jawline.

There are less than five days until next Wednesday.

For ordinary people, celebrating a birthday is nothing more than booking a fancy restaurant and buying a bouquet of beautiful red roses.

But for Shen Wanzhou...

These clichéd tricks should not be touched.

The family kidnapping case that happened ten years ago occurred on the night of her fourteenth birthday.

That dark, abandoned warehouse became a nightmare she could never overcome in her life.

From then on, birthdays became her most feared taboo word.

She would tremble and lock herself in the closet whenever she saw the candlelight on a birthday cake.

I was sweating profusely all night long.

Chen Yuan turned off his phone screen and gently tapped his fingertips on the leather armrest.

This cat hides its heart in its shell because it's afraid.

What's needed isn't the soothing approach of gradually boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

It is not a light that can completely shatter the darkness.

He wanted to use the most outrageous display to burn away the gloom of the past decade completely.

"Wang Kai, come to the top floor of Xingchen Venture Capital."

Chen Yuan dialed the fat man's number, leaving only one unquestionable instruction.

Two days later.

On the top floor of the Xingchen Venture Capital Building, there is a 300-square-meter president's office.

The bustling city of Jianghai remains visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The desk was piled high with blueprints, drawings, and electronic contracts.

Wang Kai sported two enormous dark circles under his eyes, and the flesh on his chubby face sagged slightly due to lack of sleep.

He was holding a stack of account statements that he had just retrieved from the finance department.

Sweat beads on his forehead fell down his chin like beads from a broken string.

Tick.

A drop of sweat fell onto the smooth marble tabletop, spreading out into a small water stain.

"Yuan, Brother Yuan..."

Wang Kai swallowed hard, his voice trembling.

"All the bills for the past few days are here."

"You want me to book all the qualified drone performance teams in the entire Jianghai City."

"A total of 80,000 specially designed drones are now all parked in ten secret airports in the suburbs, ready for deployment."

"Just buying out the exclusive rights for these five days, plus the cost of urgently rewriting the system."

"Three hundred million has already been burned through."

Wang Kai's hands were trembling so badly he couldn't even turn the pages flat.

The paper made a crisp, rustling sound.

Chen Yuan sat in the large boss's chair.

The top two buttons of the black haute couture shirt were undone, exuding a sense of languid confidence.

He picked up his iced Americano and took a sip.

The bitter liquid slid down my throat.

"not enough."

He put down his glass, his voice as calm as if he were discussing tonight's menu.

"How's the deal with securing control of the downtown screen, which I asked you to do?"

Wang Kai hastily wiped the sweat from his face with a tissue.

Pull out a thick electronic agreement from another pile of documents.

"All done."

"The top 50 landmark buildings in Jianghai City include the World Financial Center, the Twin Towers..."

"Their facades feature giant LED screens and rooftop spotlights."

"Everything will be under our unified command starting at midnight this Wednesday."

"In order to get them to agree to the last-minute broadcast, we paid all the brands ten times the penalty for breach of contract."

"Plus, there's the special route approval fee to grease the wheels with the municipal air traffic control department..."

Wang Kai couldn't hold back any longer when he got to this point.

He gasped for breath, like a fish just out of the water.

"Brother Yuan, Chu Feng is still using your ghost base station."

"We created a temporary interconnection matrix for all the city's traffic signal towers and landscape lights."

"If this technology were sold on the dark web, it would be worth at least a billion dollars!"

Chen Yuan's gaze fell on the panoramic map of Jianghai City spread out on the table.

His long, slender fingers held a red marker.

A striking circle was drawn on the "Cloud Top Tower" at the very center of the map.

That's the highest point in Jianghai City.

It is also the place closest to the starry sky.

"Money is just a number; if you can't spend it all, it's just worthless paper."

He casually tossed the marker aside.

With a click.

The pen cap rolled onto the corner of the table.

"What I want is for the sky over Jianghai City to be completely clear by midnight on Wednesday night."

Wang Kai looked at the man in front of him, who was so calm it was almost cold-blooded.

My head was buzzing.

Of course he knew Chen Yuan was rich.

That terrifying number lying in overseas accounts is enough to buy dozens of Star Ventures.

But having money is one thing.

This insane way of spending money was completely beyond the comprehension of an ordinary person like him.

For a birthday.

Buy up all the drones in the city and cut off all the screens of commercial companies.

They even used top-tier hacking techniques to coordinate their actions.

This is hardly a birthday party.

This is clearly waging a money-burning war!

The fat man looked at the thick stack of financial statements in his hand.

The sheer number of zeros on the screen made him dizzy.

Every payment he made felt like a piece of his heart being torn away.

These past few days he hasn't dared to sleep, fearing that if he closes his eyes, a hole of hundreds of millions will appear in the company's accounts.

He wiped his sweat, his legs feeling weak as he leaned against the edge of the solid wood desk.

His eyes were filled with an incomprehensible awe.

The fat man swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he stared at the exorbitant bill: "Brother Yuan, you're practically burning through a mountain of gold just to put on a one-night fireworks show for her?!"
