The Fake Husband of the Beautiful CEO

After returning home from the karaoke bar.

They happened to run into Lin Tiannan and Xu Xiuqing, who were drinking tea in the courtyard.

"You brat, you've spent another five million. What did you do with it?"

Seeing Chen Dong return, Lin Tiannan's face showed a rare smile.

"hey-hey!"

"I'm thinking of starting a small company just for fun."

"After all, Dad, you're so amazing, I can't stay under your protection forever, can I?"

"I'm not a child anymore. I don't know if I'll lose money, but it can't hurt to try, right?"

Start a company?

Lin Tiannan was clearly surprised when he heard this.

To his surprise, his son was interested in starting a company, which was completely unexpected.

He wasn't bothered at all by spending five million; on the contrary, he was quite happy.

This at least proves that the kid didn't spend his time on eating, drinking, and having fun.

"Not bad! At least you're starting to look like a human being."

"But judging from your appearance, you went drinking again last night, didn't you?"

"Go back and rest."

Lin Tiannan's face was full of relief. To be honest, his son's changes were indeed too fast, and even he hadn't quite caught up with it.

But he was happy to see this change.

At least, the Lin Group will have an heir in the future.

"Okay, Dad!"

Chen Dong smiled and went into the villa.

Xu Xiuqing watched Chen Dong's retreating figure with a hint of worry on her face.

For some reason, she always felt that Chen Dong had changed too quickly, and some things were hard for her to accept.

"His father, haven't you noticed how quickly our son has changed?"

"It's a bit... unlike him."

"With his personality, he would never have started a company or worked in sales."

It must be said that Hsu Hsiu-ching has a very strong intuition.

But Lin Tiannan just chuckled and said, "You're just too sensitive."

"Let me tell you, this kid is a romantic like me. He'd do anything for that girl Gu Li."

"I guess he doesn't want to marry Gu Li with the reputation of being a spoiled brat or a rich second-generation."

"Just like how I went from being a lazy, good-for-nothing young master to becoming the boss of a company all for your sake, didn't I?"

Back then, Lin Tiannan was a notorious second young master who did nothing but eat, drink, and have fun all day long.

Until he met Xu Xiuqing, it was as if he had found the soulmate in his life, and suddenly everything changed.

Running business, handling contracts, dealing with management...

In just a few years, he gained the approval of his elders and became the heir to the Lin Group.

"Why are you bringing up things from the past again?"

Xu Xiuqing blushed and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"But you know what, it really does look a lot like you used to be..."

"I'm just... a little more anxious than you."

Chen Dong had no idea about the conversation between Lin Tiannan and his wife.

I hadn't slept all night, and with the alcohol on my hands, I was feeling dizzy. I went back to my room, locked the door, and fell asleep.

……

When Chen Dong woke up, it was already three in the morning.

He glanced at his phone and saw two missed calls from Zhao Hu and Gu Li, as well as an unknown number.

However, he didn't answer the call from the unknown number three times.

Moreover, it was his own card that was used, not Lin Dong's card.

He got up, went to the bathroom, took a cold shower, and changed into clean clothes.

As for the blood-stained clothes that had killed Liu Jun, as well as the clothes of Zhao Hu and the others, they had long since been burned together.

After doing all this, he sat on the sofa and dialed the unfamiliar number.

The phone rang a few times before being answered.

"Feed?"

Who are you looking for?

A hoarse male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Chen Dong, right?"

"You have two choices now. First, reach a settlement with Chengnan Construction Company and accept their compensation. As for an apology, don't even think about it."

"Secondly, you will spend the rest of your life in prison."

"Choose for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong burst out laughing.

So Wu Tian has sent someone to threaten me again.

It seems they are very keen on their cooperation with the Lin Group.

But... he can be Chen Dong now, or he can not be.

Since they want to play, let's play along to the end.

"I'm curious, what methods would you use to get me into jail?"

"Are you issuing a warrant for my arrest? Or... are you fabricating evidence of my crimes?"

However, the man offered no explanation for his words.

"Since you put it that way, then I already know your answer."

"Just you wait and see. In less than three days, your place will be completely flattened. I want to see if you have any way to stop it."

"Hahaha!"

The phone call was disconnected amidst the man's loud laughter.

Chen Dong's expression darkened at that moment.

According to this person, his house would be bulldozed within three days, which means there's only one possibility: the court procedures have already been completed.

However, the case is not yet closed, and the other party cannot obtain the necessary documents.

The only explanation is that they have people in the court who simply closed the case.

If that's the case, then he really has no way to deal with it.

Because he couldn't use his status as the young master of the Lin family to interfere in the development zone's affairs.

Doing this will only arouse suspicion from others.

"This is actually a bit troublesome."

After much thought, Chen Dong still couldn't find a good solution.

He had thought there was still fairness and justice in the world, but now it seems he underestimated the connections of those capitalists.

Perhaps some high-ranking officials are the backers behind these capitalists.

Right now, he can't kidnap court personnel either.

If that's the case, then he would really become a wanted criminal.

Having no other option, he could only call Gu Li to ask if she had any ideas.

"Feed?"

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

Gu Li's somewhat languid voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You really disturbed my rest. If you have more wrinkles tomorrow, you'll have to make it up to me."

"However, for you to call me in the middle of the night, something must have happened."

Tell me about it.

Chen Dong was silent for a few seconds, then told Gu Li everything that had happened last night and the phone call just now.

Gu Li wasn't very surprised that he had killed someone.

But... this unfamiliar phone call piqued her interest.

"You mean... the Liu family plans to bribe people at the court to get your case approved directly and expedite the development of your land, right?"

"The Liu family has quite a strong network of connections in the southern part of the city!"

"Getting things on with the court and the bureau isn't a big problem."

"Stopping it would indeed be a bit troublesome."

Gu Li's words made Chen Dong's heart sink.

Even she couldn't do anything about it?

Are you just going to accept your fate like this?!

Chen Dong was somewhat unwilling. If it ended like this, then everything he had done would have been meaningless.

"However, it's not unsolvable."

"Leave this matter to me. As for your cooperation with Chengnan Construction Company, you can handle that yourself."

"Look how much pressure you can put on them."
