My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 808 808: Five Families Unite to Challenge

In an instant, Chen Xuan's mind became a bit chaotic; he wished he could find his parents' whereabouts sooner to confirm whether they were still alive.

Originally, Lin Wanxi had good intentions, trying to reignite a glimmer of hope in him, so he wouldn't be consumed by hatred, unable to extricate himself from living in vengeance.

But it still inevitably stirred up impatience in him, which he needed to suppress on his own.

Phew!

Chen Xuan took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

Keeping himself emotionally stable.

There's no use in being anxious; he has to stay calm and investigate slowly.

Moreover, in such situations, he must not act hastily.

If by chance his parents are indeed alive, he needs to act cautiously, ensuring he doesn't easily expose his whereabouts.

If the other party notices, it might adversely affect his parents.

He can't take that risk!

Unless he truly finds their whereabouts, then he could launch a surprise attack.

With unstoppable force, he would obliterate the ones who imprisoned his parents and rescue the elderly couple.

Chen Xuan calmed his mind, no longer dwelling on these thoughts, and proceeded with the investigation at his own pace.

Returning to the luxurious villa.

Yang Leshan was sitting cross-legged on the living room sofa, fiddling with her phone.

In front of her was an empty instant noodle cup that hadn't been cleaned up.

"You guys are back?" Yang Leshan pouted, "Look at me, I had to eat instant noodles tonight."

Lin Wanxi shook her head with a smile, "Shanshan, you even deliberately left the noodle cup out to show us how pitiful you were."

"Well, it's true, you two went to a feast while I was eating instant noodles at home. Isn't that pitiful?" Yang Leshan said, pouting.

"Alright, alright, we neglected you tonight. How about we take you out for a big meal tomorrow night?" Lin Wanxi laughed lightly.

"Hmm, that's more like it." Yang Leshan nodded with a smile, "Chen Xuan, you'll come with us tomorrow then."

"No problem, I'll take advantage of it too." Chen Xuan said with a cheerful smile.

When going to bed, Yang Leshan sneaked into his bedroom, looking as guilty as a thief.

"What's going on? Are you trying to kidnap someone?" Chen Xuan looked at Yang Leshan and shook his head with an amused smile.

Yang Leshan quietly closed the door and jumped onto the bed.

Kneeling at the edge of the bed, her slippers flew off, and she wrapped her arms around Chen Xuan's neck with a giggle, "I'm gonna eat you tonight! Consider it my compensation!"

Chen Xuan chuckled softly, "You've learned to be mischievous too!"

"No more talking, hurry up!"

Yang Leshan gave a charming smile, her eyes hinting at a mischievous glint.

Chen Xuan smirked playfully; given the circumstances, there was no need to stand on ceremony.

...

Early the next morning, Yang Leshan woke up sneakily and quietly got out of bed, putting on her nightgown.

"Why are you up so early?" Chen Xuan was startled awake, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Yang Leshan gestured for silence, "I need to get back to my room first. Otherwise, once people get up and Wanxi finds out, it would be so awkward!"

Chen Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, "Something that's perfectly normal has turned into sneaking around behind Wanxi's back because of you."

Yang Leshan giggled, "Well, what can I do? I can't let Wanxi see, that's too awkward."

"Alright, I need to hurry back to my room. You can go back to sleep for a bit."

With a squinty smile, Yang Leshan carefully opened the door, glanced outside, and tiptoed back to her room.

Chen Xuan lay in bed without moving, unable to suppress his amused smile.

...

This morning, Zhang Jun was the first to transfer all of the Sun Family's assets under the Zhang Family's name, and immediately began reorganization and optimization, including a range of personnel changes.

By the afternoon, they had applied the core technology of Maoyuan Company to the Zhang Family's industries.

Anyway, with Chen Xuan's support behind the scenes, Zhang Dehou and Zhang Jun had nothing to worry about.

The Zhang Family's big moves attracted the attention of other families.

The Zhang Family's annexation of the Sun Family's assets aroused dissatisfaction among several third-tier families.

In this way, wouldn't the Zhang Family leap ahead of other third-tier families, breaking the balance?

There are ten third-tier families in Jiangnan City.

The Guo Family had long been destroyed by Chen Xuan, and the Sun Family was swallowed by the Zhang Family.

In addition to the Luo Family and the Li Family, the remaining five third-tier families united and challenged the Zhang Family.

The Song Family, Xue Family, Hu Family, Fang Family, and Fan Family, the five patriarchs, all came to the Zhang Family, intending to pressure Zhang Dehou to return the Sun Family's assets for them to divide.

A small to medium crisis suddenly loomed over the Zhang Family...
