<h4>Chapter 1273: Chapter 1581: Hongyu Group’s Expansion</h4>


    Ling Chen has been having a good few days; everything is going ording to n without much hindrance. However, the only thing causing him a headache is the Guo Family.


    ording to the intelligence provided by Zhu Houchang, there is definitely something wrong with the Guo Family. Just the thought of Guo Family being protected by more than a hundred elite assassins makes Ling Chen’s head spin. Trying to investigate quietly is certainly not an option, as those are professional assassins, adept at stealth.


    Moreover, Ling Chen doesn’t want to create more trouble for himself right now. No matter what secrets the Guo Family is hiding, making a move would certainly attract their displeasure. He has enough on his te already and for now, he doesn’t want to make another enemy.


    Sitting in Lin Han’s new home, Ling Chen sat with his legs crossed, holding a remote control in one hand, flipping through TV channels out of boredom. During these days, whenever he had free time, Ling Chen would head to Lin Han’s ce. It wasn’t because he had any feelings for Lin Han; it was just that he thought it was necessary to apany the Lin siblings, who were new to East Sea City and knew no one there. Besides, it would help improve their rtionship.


    At this moment, Ling Chen’s attention was caught by a news program on TV. It was financial news, with today’s focus being on the Hongyu United Investment Company located in Beijing. The news reported that recently, the Hongyu United Investment Company had been making a series ofmercial moves, acquiring many small and medium-sizedpanies. Most of thesepanies primarily produced daily necessities, and such arge-scale operation by Hongyu United Investment Company attracted a lot of attention from business circles.


    While daily necessities are generally low in price, they have a high turnover rate. It seems Hongyu United Investment Company is aiming to capture market share and dominate the field.


    In the news, Ling Chen also saw the reporter interviewing Nanrong Wanqing.


    "Miss Nanrong, yourpany has invested so much capital this time, acquiring dozens ofpanies. Are you not afraid of the risks?"


    Nanrong Wanqing calmly replied, "There is no zero-risk in doing business; the higher the risk, the greater the reward. Besides, with the robust capital of Hongyu United Investment Company, even if we lose, it doesn’t matter. We treat it as an experiment."


    "What are your next steps, Miss Nanrong?"


    "We’ve raised 30 billion funds to test various industries. Additionally, we will make substantial investments in projects with value and potential. Anyone with innovative ideas and thoughts butcking start-up capital cane to Hongyu Investment Company, and we’ll help make dreamse true."


    In the subsequent interview time, the reporter asked manymercial questions, and Ling Chen was left in the fog. Close to the end, the reporter shifted his tone, smiling as he said, "Miss Nanrong, I’ve asked all about business matters. If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask a personal question."


    "Please go ahead."


    "I wonder when Miss Nanrong ns to leave singlehood and start a family? I think... the single elites in front of the TV are all very concerned about this question."


    "Are you talking about marriage? I haven’t considered that for now. Hongyu Group is in a development stage, and I need to invest all my time dealing with various matters, leaving little time to find someone to marry."


    "Do you have someone you’re more fond of now?"


    Hearing this question, Nanrong Wanqing hesitated a little and said, "It’s hard to say I’m fond of anyone, but there are people I admire."


    The reporter smiled and said, "Any man admired by Miss Nanrong must be very outstanding. Alright, today’s interview ends here. I wish Hongyu Group to go further and fly higher, and I hope Miss Nanrong quickly finds her other half."


    Watching Nanrong Wanqing disappear from the TV, Ling Chen smiled faintly and turned off the TV. Ling Chen knew well about the shareholders of the Hongyu United Investment Company, who were precisely the business people who once attempted to harm the Hongyu Group. Together, they amounted to one-fifth of the entiremercial circle of Huaxia, each member being wealthy and influential, consistently ranking on the rich lists.


    Nanrong Wanqing leveraged the past event to tie them all onto the same boat, advancing and retreating with the Hongyu Group. With their assistance, Nanrong Wanqing’s business empire would inevitably expand across Huaxia.


    Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of the door opening was heard. Nanny Huang was back with Lin Chun.


    Under Ling Chen’s arrangement, Lin Chun had started attending a nearby elementary school. Seeing Lin Chun with a backpack, walking gloomily, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile as he went forward to stroke his head, saying, "Why aren’t you happy? Isn’t school fun?"


    Lin Chun shook his head and said, "Big Brother, school is not good. I don’t want to go anymore."


    Hearing this, Ling Chen was surprised and asked, "Why?"


    "They all bully me," Lin Chun’s eyes started turning red. "They call me a country bumpkin and say I don’t know anything."


    "Didn’t you tell the teacher?"


    "I did, and the teacher said they were just joking with me, but they still bully me. Big Brother, can I not go to school anymore? Let me stay at home; I can help with the housework."


    "That’s not possible. You must go to school. Only by learning can you choose your future." Ling Chen patted Lin Chun on the head,forting him. "You have to be a bit braver. If anyone bullies you, go to the teacher. If the teacher doesn’t help, bully them back. With Big Brother backing you up, you don’t have to be afraid of anything. Understand?"


    Lin Chun gently nodded his head.


    "Alright, go do your homework. We’ll eat when your sister returns."


    Watching Lin Chun go up the stairs, Ling Chen spoke, "Nanny Huang, please remember to have a word with his teacher when you take Lin Chun to school tomorrow."


    "Okay."


    As the words fell, a mobile phone ringtone came from Ling Chen’s pocket. After checking the caller ID, Ling Chen answered and asked, "Boss Tang, what’s up? ... Alright, I’ll be there right away."


    After pocketing his phone, Ling Chen bid farewell to Nanny Huang and immediately drove to the Dragon Tiger Hall.


    Half an hourter, Ling Chen appeared in the conference room of the Dragon Tiger Hall. At this time, many people were seated in the spacious conference room, including Tong Zhentian and Qiu Yong. After Ling Chen took his seat, Tong Zhentian nodded at He Ziyun, who then stood up and said, "Just recently, we received news. A fire suddenly broke out in a hotel in Jinhai City, and there were thirty-two casualties on the spot, with countless injuries."


    Upon hearing this, Ling Chen curiously asked, "Mr. He, what does this have to do with us?"


    "Don’t worry, let me exin slowly." He Ziyun took out some documents and said, "Among the thirty-two deceased, twenty-seven were Martial Arts practitioners. ording to my investigation, they had arranged to meet at the hotel today."
