Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 430: Chapter 323: Threat (Seeking Subscriptions)

The Long family’s super villa was built near Xiangjiang Park, neighboring Swan Lake. The entire courtyard covers at least tens of thousands of square meters and includes a helipad, spacious gardens, and even an artificial lake.

Within the lake, the blue waves ripple gently, while small bridges over winding streams, pavilions, and towers add a quaint and ancient charm.

As the controlling force of Xiangjiang’s lifeline and also the head of the eight great families of Hua Country, a single stomp from the Long family could make the whole of Xiangjiang tremble!

The eldest grandson of the Long family, Long Huanyu, is twenty-nine this year. He studied abroad at Harvard University in America in his early years and assumed a position in the family business after completing his studies.

Together with his younger brother Long Jianghai, he is one of the two most likely successors to the Family Head position. Barring any unexpected events, the future heir of the Long family should emerge from among these two.

Long Huanyu is magnanimous and enjoys making friends. Known for his loyalty and righteousness, he has indeed caught the favorable attention of a group of the Long family’s elders.

To consolidate his position, Long Huanyu would draw various friends and forces to his side, doing his utmost to cultivate relationships with anyone he deemed beneficial.

Clearly, Liu Mingfei, the heir to the Liu family of Zhongzhou, became one of his targets.

As for the A-list superstar Deng Yun’er… in his eyes, she was nothing more than an actress—someone who could be summoned or dismissed at his whim!

Liu Mingfei is one of the strong heirs of the Zhongzhou Liu family. His presence at such an important gathering, escorted by the Liu family’s Family Head, showed his status within the Liu family.

However, the young master of the Liu family had a fatal flaw: he was fickle in love. Rumor had it that this chubby-faced heir had been with at least a dozen or so different partners!

And hardly any girl whom he fancied could escape his clutches.

Since the Liu family’s young master took great interest in the superstar Deng Yun’er and, in order to win her over, Long Huanyu catered to his desires, so when they heard that Deng Yun’er had arrived, they immediately went to find her without a second thought.

These two top-tiered young masters hardly took Deng Yun’er seriously, considering her merely an actress and lacking respect in their words.

When Chu Mo passed by just now, the chubby-faced Liu Mingfei was inappropriately reading Deng Yun’er’s palm, his squinted eyes filled with a sinister smile.

Faced with the top two heirs, Deng Yun’er, despite her inner revulsion, dared not show any resistance.

It wasn’t until Chu Mo appeared, that Deng Yun’er, harboring a last sliver of hope, rushed over to Chu Mo almost at a run. Distressed, she immediately clung to Chu Mo’s arm, her eyes brimming with a plea for help!

Liu Mingfei, the young master of the Zhongzhou Liu family, was by no means just a second-generation wealth waster. Aside from his fondness for women, whether it was emotional intelligence or IQ, he was definitely among the top of his peers.

Liu Mingfei graduated from a university in Britain with a doctorate. Upon returning to Hua Country two years ago, he started working in the family business. In two years, he turned a perpetually loss-making subsidiary into a profitable one with his sharp business acumen, earning special recognition from the Liu family’s Family Head.

Behind the two top young masters, four black-clothed bodyguards followed closely.

As for Deng Yun’er’s attendants and bodyguards, they had no say at all in this place!

“I’ve heard that Yun’er is the rare Ice Maiden of the entertainment circle, having not been involved in any scandals since her debut three years ago. So, what’s this, Chu? Are you planning to play the role of a hero saving the beauty?”

The at least 170-180 pound Liu Mingfei squinted his eyes slightly, leaving his already small eyes to just a thin slit, giving him a comical appearance.

Chu Mo suddenly reached out, gently tapped Deng Yun’er’s delicate hand that rested by his side, and glanced at the star with a complex expression on her face. With a slight hook of his lips, Chu Mo casually said,

“Playing the hero requires a villain for contrast. Where’s the villain here? Right, Liu?”

As his words fell, Chu Mo took a gentle step forward!

His gaze was calm, and his chiseled face was full of confidence.

This was the rhythm of a complete fallout.

The face of the eldest young master of the Liu family from Zhongzhou twitched slightly. He had not expected Chu Mo to disregard his face. First, he confirmed that there were no ties between Chu Mo and Deng Yun’er opposite him; otherwise, Chu Mo would not have been unresponsive when they discussed Deng Yun’er in the guest parlor earlier.

Since he was willing to fall out with him, the young master of Liu from Zhongzhou, over someone with no connections, Liu Mingfei suddenly felt as though he had been seen through.

Long Huanyu, who was to one side, paused. He looked at the young man with glasses who had single-handedly reshuffled the deck of the demon city, and then at the corpulent young master Liu. After a moment’s hesitation, he chose to help neither side.@@novelbin@@

One was Mr. Chu of the demon city, and the other was the eldest young master of Liu from Zhongzhou. If these two were to confront each other head-on, ordinary people would get caught and it would spell death. Even as one of the heirs of the Long family, if he got caught in this level of strife, one misstep could even cost him the status of a family heir!

As the eldest young master of Long silently stepped back, the chubby Liu Mingfei nodded slightly. Then, he suddenly spoke,

“I just heard that Mr. Chu seems to be interested in getting involved in the jewelry business? Several old families from Capital City and the Lin family from the demon city are all standing on Mr. Chu’s side? I don’t know if Mr. Chu has heard, but the family head of the Lin family, Lin Youzhi, is my uncle!

Our family had initially intended to enter the jewelry industry, but previously the funds were all tied up in real estate and couldn’t be recovered. Recently, we’ve sold some properties and have recouped ten or so billion in funds. If I can persuade Uncle Lin to work with our Liu family, I wonder if that would affect Mr. Chu’s arrangements!”

Chu Mo looked seriously at the plump man before him. This was the first time he had truly felt the influence of the heirs of the eight great families.

This man, who looked greasy and had very average looks, emitted a dangerous aura when he got serious. He was like a snake emerging from its hole, chilling to the core!

Unlike those rich second-generation kids who could only rely on their influence, the heirs of the eight great families might not have a lot of funds in their hands, but if they leveraged their family’s influence, the people and power they could control would be terrifyingly vast.

The Liu family from Zhongzhou had assets exceeding a trillion. The Lin family from the demon city was simply not in the same league. If the plump man before him really leveraged the massive pressure of the Liu family to pressure the Lin family from the demon city, it was hard to say how Lin Youzhi would choose in the end.

Lin Youzhi was someone Chu Mo had spent a lot of effort to win over. If he turned his coat, Chu Mo wasn’t afraid, but it would inevitably cost him more than expected in terms of both resources and time to complete his initial layout.

As he slightly furrowed his brows, the young master Liu opposite suddenly laughed and said,

“Mr. Chu, see, just a word from me could cause you to lose billions. Is it really worth it for an actress?

Perhaps you should think it through before making a decision!”

The young master Liu’s face was smug with a victorious smile, but just as he thought he held the winning ticket, Chu Mo suddenly took out his phone from his pocket. Then, in front of everyone, Chu Mo made a call.

After a moment, with a few rings, the call was answered. He pressed the loudspeaker button and, with a smile on his face, Chu Mo spoke,

“Mr. Lin, this is Chu Mo!”

“Mr. Chu? If you have any instructions, just let me know. The Van Gogh painting I sent to Mr. Chu last time, did you find it satisfactory?”

Lin Youzhi’s voice from the phone was hearty and enthusiastic.

In the midst of that warm and cheerful laughter, the expression on the face of the eldest young master Liu changed repeatedly.
