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

The air in the hall seemed to freeze for a moment.

The old man's wrinkled face stiffened slightly.

Those cloudy eyes narrowed dangerously.

This endgame was a "nine-out-of-ten-death" situation that he had obtained from a reclusive master player at great expense years ago.

He had been working on it at Cloud Top Manor for over half a year, spending countless days and nights pondering it.

They didn't dare to drop a single coin.

Now this greenhorn dares to spout nonsense while pointing at this game of chess?

"Well, these young people nowadays really don't know their own limitations."

The old man was so angry that he laughed, and a wheezing sound came from his throat.

He casually handed the sandalwood dragon-head cane in his hand to the bodyguard behind him.

With his hands behind his back, he strode over to the small square table made of huanghuali wood.

He sat steadily in that armchair.

"I started learning chess at the age of five and have never met an opponent in the chess world of Jianghai City."

"Since you've practically begged for a beating, I'll teach you a lesson in manners today!"

Chen Yuan remained silent.

He patted Shen Wanzhou on the shoulder, gesturing for her to sit on the sofa next to him.

Shen Wanzhou nodded obediently and took two steps back.

With her hands clasped in front of her chest, her peach blossom eyes stared nervously at Chen Yuan's back.

Although she didn't understand chess, she knew how bad her grandfather's temper was on the chessboard.

In the past, the branch office managers would play chess with my grandfather.

She had seen too many times the scene of being scolded mercilessly and forced to retreat while wiping away sweat.

Chen Yuan pulled out another armchair and sat down calmly.

Her long, slender legs were stretched out casually.

He held the white card, while the old man held the black card.

"Please go ahead, elders first."

Chen Yuan made a gesture, his voice so flat that it was completely devoid of any inflection.

The old man snorted coldly.

Withered fingers picked up a black jade chess piece from the chess box.

Snapped.

It was slammed heavily onto the "Tengen" position on the chessboard.

It exudes a murderous aura and reveals its sharp edge.

They treated this game of chess as a life-or-death melee.

Chen Yuan's gaze fell on the chessboard, not even taking half a second to think.

Two fingers with distinct phalanges picked up a white piece.

Hey.

It landed lightly on the side of the black piece.

The way he casually tossed it was like buying cabbage from a roadside stall.

The old man's brows furrowed into a tight knot.

This haphazard move is an insult to his national-level chess skills.

"Kid, you're the one who ruined the Shen Group's acquisition of medical equipment in Europe?"

As the old man placed his pieces, he began to exert pressure through words.

They were trying to break down their opponent's psychological defenses.

"You think you can dominate the business world with just a few lines of code?"

Hey.

Chen Yuan placed his second white piece.

This cut off Black's retreat.

"The acquisition of European medical equipment companies is essentially a well-prepared scam."

Chen Yuan spoke in a lazy tone, without even lifting his eyelids.

"The other party's core patented technologies have long been exploited by North America."

"If the Shen family throws in that 5 billion, all they'll get back is a pile of scrap metal."

"Within six months, the Shen family's overseas financial chains will be completely crippled."

The old man's hand, which was holding the chess piece, suddenly stopped.

A hint of undisguised surprise flashed across his eyes.

To uncover the details of this acquisition, he sent three top-notch due diligence teams to Europe.

It took two whole months of investigation to find a clue.

How does this housekeeper, who spends all her time cooking in the kitchen, know so much?

The old man gritted his teeth and placed the black piece on the white piece's air pocket.

"Even if you've spotted the problem, what about that 300-acre commercial land in the south of the city?"

"You secretly had someone cut off Shen's bank bridge loans."

"This caused the Shen family to lose 500 million yuan in deposits for nothing!"

Chen Yuan chuckled softly.

Rotate your wrist.

The white piece fell and directly captured the three black pieces that the old man had carefully arranged.

"There is an abandoned heavy metal sewage pipe buried underground on that piece of land in the south of the city."

"As soon as construction begins, pollution reports immediately make headlines across the news."

"At that time, the Shen family will face a loss of more than 500 million yuan in deposits."

"Instead, it resulted in an environmental fine of up to 20 billion and an indefinite suspension of trading for rectification."

Chen Yuan threw the black piece he had eaten into the empty box next to him.

It made a crisp, clanging sound.

"Old man, I was helping the Shen family cut off an arm to survive. You should be thanking me."

The old man's breathing instantly became heavy.

The chest heaved violently.

He personally approved the matter concerning the land in the south of the city.

If what Chen Yuan said is true, then he has essentially pushed the Shen family to the brink of disaster.

He stared intently at the chessboard.

What was initially thought to be an easy victory has now become unpredictable and uncertain.

The white pieces are like an invisible net, which has unknowingly surrounded the black pieces completely.

Sweat began to roll down the old man's forehead.

Following the wrinkles on his face, he slammed his fist onto the armrest of the armchair.

His fingers, reaching for the chessboard, trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Hey.

The black piece fell, carrying a hint of a trapped beast's desperate struggle.

Chen Yuan's pace of placing pieces is getting faster and faster.

You don't even need to look at the whole board.

"Shen's logistics and transportation system appears to be a perfect success on the surface."

"In fact, three regional managers below are already secretly colluding with competitors."

"They will go on strike as soon as the Double Eleven peak season arrives."

With each move Chen Yuan made, he ruthlessly tore open a piece of rotten flesh from the Shen family empire.

"And your good nephew, Shen Tiancheng."

"He transferred three billion from the company's books to the Cayman Islands."

"It's the highest-level access key that you originally granted him."

Each word was like a heavy hammer, striking the old man's heart.

The old man's face was beyond just looking ugly.

The pale white color was tinged with a sickly grayness.

The century-old business he was so proud of, as described in this young man's words.

It's like a dilapidated thatched hut that lets in drafts from all sides.

He himself was completely unaware of these deadly hidden dangers.

despair.

The black piece fell again.

The old man's hands were shaking so badly he could barely hold the chess pieces.

The chess piece fell onto the board and slid into an empty space next to it.

He was about to reach out and take it.

Chen Yuan's fingers were already holding the last white piece, suspended in mid-air.

That previously restrained murderous aura.

At this moment, it poured out like a flood bursting its banks.

The air pressure in the entire living room was so low that it was hard to breathe.

The old man felt a chill run down his back.

My clothes were soaked with cold sweat and stuck to my skin.

He stared intently at the white piece in Chen Yuan's hand.

Watch as it pressed down on the center of the chessboard with an irreversible force.

Chen Yuan held a white chess piece between two fingers and slammed it crisply in the center of the chessboard: "Checkmate. Old Master, without me, you couldn't have defended the Shen family's grand scheme."
