Chapter 82: Rising to Prominence

  What happened next was very simple. When Serena saw the effective will in front of her, she tore it to pieces and shouted "How is this possible!"

  The lawyer said expressionlessly: "Miss Luo, even if you tear up this will, our firm still has a backup. I hope you can face reality."

  After finishing speaking, he turned around expressionlessly and left. Leaving behind a cold voice: "As for the property, I will take care of it, and transfer it to Ms. Chen Li's name within a week."

  Selina stared blankly, these days she had been frantically searching for her father James' whereabouts. Although she hadn't thought that there would be a problem with the inheritance of property, but she absolutely wouldn't allow James to die at someone else's hands, she wanted to personally take revenge on him! Torture him!

  But in the end, James was nowhere to be found...

  Only a vast empty house was left, a woman and her mongrel...

  That's right!

  That bastard!

  Selina's eyes lit up!

  That woman and child are in her own hands, even if that woman doesn't think for herself, but her precious son...

  Humph! She'd like to see what that woman is after, money or her son!

  At this moment, Selina has no idea about the relationship between Qi Yu and Ai Zi Qing, because even if she knew about Qi Yu's relationship with Jing Society, she still couldn't find out who the leader of Jing Society was.

  Just as the lawyer had just left, Selina received a report from her subordinate that Ren Ying, CEO of Qingtian Network, rushed to the police station at more than 3 am yesterday and bailed out Ai Ziqing, chairman of Qingtian Company, who was detained for unknown reasons.

  Upon learning this news, Selena raised her slender eyebrows, thinking of Chris and that Ai Zi Qing's relationship, as well as the woman's repeated opposition to herself, making up her mind that this time she would leave her in Manhattan... forever in Manhattan!

  "Let that woman sleep like Hannah Brown in Manhattan!" Selena elegantly sipped a mouthful of deep red Lafite, letting out a comfortable sigh.

  Putting down her wine glass, Selena stepped out in her slender high-heeled shoes, her hand holding up the long, flowing red gown that trailed behind her as she strolled elegantly towards the back of the villa.

  A good-looking face, but a poisonous tongue.

  ……

  "Mom, don't worry, that woman won't dare to do anything to us." Qi Yu saw his mother's pale face for the past two days, and her condition didn't seem to be improving, which made him very worried.

  Chen Li heard this and grasped her son's big hand, shaking her head and sighing: "You don't know how vicious Serena is. All these years... Ah!"

  Qī Yù's face was expressionless as he gazed at his familiar yet strange mother, his eyes filled with pity.

  He was still wearing the black leather trousers he had on when Ai Zi Qing first met him, with a soft and fluffy hairstyle that was slightly unruly.

  But his resolute face already had a calm and steady atmosphere, it seemed that he hadn't been trained in vain at the En Society.

  Listening to Chen Li's words, Qi Yu felt a slight pain in his heart, unaware of the suffering his mother had endured in the Luo En family. It was laughable that he had always thought his mother had run away with someone for a wealthy life...

  But it doesn't matter, this time, since heaven has brought them mother and son together, there's no reason for them to be separated again!

  He believed that Ai Zi Qing must have a way to rescue them. In his heart, Ai Zi Qing represented absolute authority; nothing was impossible for her, only things she didn't want to do!

  So he knew that as long as Ai Zi Qing knew his whereabouts, she would definitely rescue him and his mother, it was just a matter of time.

  Just then, the large door of the room was pushed open without warning, and a tall woman in a long skirt stepped in with elegant steps. If it weren't for the harsh words coming out of her mouth, her voice would have been as gentle as a soft stream.

  All she heard was a humming sound from her mouth: "What a touching picture of motherly love, are you Chinese people always so indecisive?"

  Looking at the several black men behind her, Qi Yu still stood there with an expressionless face, actually... his English wasn't very good...

  Fortunately, there was his mother Chen Li by his side, so through her whispered translation, Qi Yu finally understood what Serena said.

  "He snorted: 'At least I'm better than you Americans who are cold-blooded and lack emotions.'"

  "Who would have thought, after Selena raised an eyebrow, she actually said with a rather fluent Chinese tone and a smile: 'In this real world, I think it's better to be a bit cold-blooded, because being cold-blooded, at least you won't end up like you are now.'"

  Qī Yù heard this and paused for a moment, saying lightly: "I'll be fine."

  Selina stepped elegantly and sat on the sofa, with her hands clasped together, then smiled and nodded: "Dear, you're right, now there really is a chance to keep your mother and child safe, it's just unknown whether you are willing to seize it."

  Qī Yù coldly laughed and said: "How could he believe that the vicious American girl would be so kind? One look and it's clear she has no good intentions!"

  Before he could speak, Chen Li grabbed her son's hand and said, "Miss Serena, what would you like us to do?"

  Selena nodded in approval. She didn't like it when others repeatedly contradicted her, it made her feel terrible inside.

  "She smiled and said: 'Actually, there's nothing, I just want to take back what belongs to my father.'"

  Chen Li was taken aback, not understanding the implication of the words. She stared at Serena and said: "James' property was originally yours, Serena. Believe me, I won't take a single coin that doesn't belong to me from your hands."

  Selina raised the corner of her mouth: "Actually, there were only two blind guys who took away James and made him make a will on his own initiative. And in that will, the property was not mine, but yours. Hehe, thinking that this could be revenge against me, what a foolish person."

  She was naturally referring to the Brown brothers, whom she had long known were seeking revenge against her and the Ronan family's plans. She also believed that the Brown brothers had successfully kidnapped James, although she did not know why they would transfer the property to Chen Lihua's name. However, this did not hinder Serena's plan.

  Perhaps the Brown brothers did this only because such a will is easier to legalize, they just wanted revenge for themselves and finally get the Roan family's property from the weak Chen Lian. This was Selina's analysis.

  She would never have thought that whether it was the Brown brothers or Chen Lizi Yu, what linked them together behind her back was that slender figure she envied.

  But Selina's soft words made Chen Li suddenly break out in a cold sweat!

  Selina giggled and said: "Chen, you should know my ways. If you have any thoughts about this property, then..."

  "Wait, as we Chinese say, taking food from a dog's mouth is indeed a dangerous thing." Selina's words were cut off by this soft, playful voice.

  Selena suddenly turned her head and saw that the several bodyguards who came with her were all held at gunpoint from behind by someone in front of the gate!

  At the entrance, a woman wearing a white casual-style shirt was walking in with a smile on her face...

  "Zi Qing!" Qi Yu saw the person coming and exclaimed in surprise. He knew! She would never disappoint anyone!

  "Sorry to keep you waiting." Ai Zi Qing's ambiguous smile gazed at the man who had once high-fived and called himself her brother.

  Since returning from Hong Kong, it has been several months since I saw him. Now, Qi Yu already has the calm and composed demeanor of his university days, no longer as reckless and unruly as before.

  She knew this man needed to go through some things to settle down.

  Zi Yu also missed her very much and heard the second layer of meaning in her words, smiling and replying: "Yes, it's been several months, indeed making people miss you."

  Seeing the two people's indifferent conversation, Serena was shocked!

  How did she end up here? What are the villa's bodyguards even eating?

  "How dare you!" Serena sprang to her feet, her face a picture of incredulity. This woman actually knew Chen Li's son! And she had the audacity to show up at their Roan mansion!

  "Why can't it be me? Miss Selina, actually I don't agree with what you just said. Actually we Chinese people value kinship and friendship, but when dealing with enemies, we can also be ruthless and merciless, for example... You who are about to lose everything and die a miserable death on the streets!"

  Aizi Qing's words were very casual, just like Xierena's. She sat on the sofa with a calm pace, and Ye Xie and Ye Xing followed her closely, standing beside Aizi Qing and looking at Xierena with a playful smile, whose face was full of surprise. The roles had already been reversed!

  "Is it you?" Serena's eyes widened in disbelief, still unable to believe that all of this had something to do with her.

  "Not bad, Selina. You should be grateful that if it wasn't for his intervention, you would have been six feet under yesterday. Ah, please forgive me for being too blunt." Ai Zi Qing gave a wicked smile and shrugged apologetically.

  "What...you!" Selina's eyes were already filled with terror, she had of course learned about the tragic events of last night, but with her ears and eyes, she couldn't piece together the whole thing, nor did she know about the agreement that Brown brothers had reached beforehand.

  "Don't blame me if it weren't for me, you would have been a soul under the gun long ago." Ai Zi said lightly, then fell silent.

  At this time, two white men walked in from outside the door, both extremely handsome, but their handsome faces made Serena lose her color!

  "The Browns'..." Selena's voice trailed off as William interrupted her.

  "Can we have her?" William turned to Aizi Qing and asked.

  Ai Zi Qing spread out her right hand and smiled: "Help yourself."

  "No! No! You're crazy! How can you barge into my home?! There are bodyguards all over the place outside! If I don't let you leave, none of you will be able to get out!" Selina shouted as she backed away, her voice hoarse with rage. She had a feeling that... it was all over!

  "Bodyguard? You disgusting woman, if we hadn't taken care of your bodyguard, how would we be here?" Hans glared at the beautiful-looking but venomous woman with disgust.

  Looking at Selena's desperate expression, Aizi Qing couldn't help but smile lightly, indeed good and evil will be rewarded in the end.

  The drizzle continued for two days and nights, while in the same period, a tremendous change took place in New York's high society.

  A stunning piece of news swept through New York's high society like a storm, leaving everyone who heard it in shock.

  The day after the downfall, the renowned Ron family in the jewelry industry also disappeared from Manhattan's high society. The head of the family, James, passed away, and his daughter Serena Ron suffered a mental breakdown due to her father's death and is now living in a sanatorium.

  James' will before his death stated that all of his property would go to his wife, Chen Li, who was a Chinese woman.

  Just as some people were quietly making their calculations, a jewelry company called Yushi Xuan suddenly appeared in Manhattan.

  Yustone Jewelry Co., Ltd. comes from China, but it is a well-known company in the industry. The jewelry company acquired the jewelry business of the Luo family from Chen Li's hands with lightning speed and was officially renamed Yustone.

  Chen Lixia also publicly stated that she did not understand business operations and these industries under her name would eventually go bankrupt.

  Her words made countless people secretly clench their fists and sigh, and some even pounded their chest and stamped their feet, feeling that they had missed a great opportunity and let someone else snatch away a fat piece of meat.

  But there are also some insightful people who have sniffed out an unusual smell from a series of events...

  But where did Rohan's underground industry go?

  Later, when Brown Brothers brought along the CEO of Qunar.com Zhou Yuan to attend various banquets and parties, people finally realized...

  All this was premeditated!

  It turned out that it was the two Brown brothers who were pulled down by the Luo family and united with China's two forces to make such a big noise!

  Because the Roen family is openly in the jewelry industry, the Brown brothers must have given Yu Shi Xuan a good deal, and also licensed the underground industry to Qian Tian Group, which made them gather their strength and take down the Roen family with lightning speed!

  Does their downfall have anything to do with them?

  Why did the Brown brothers want to cooperate with Chinese forces again?

  These issues, many people don't know about them.

  Everyone thinks that Yushizhuan and Qingtian Group are two separate forces, because no matter who it is, they can't imagine that there has always been one figure behind them.

  The reason this figure is unwilling to show itself is simply because it hopes to live a normal life without being disturbed.

  But what was most shocking about this incident was Chris Paul...

  He was indeed tracking the whole process, from Ai Zi Qing's first day in the United States, he knew her intentions, and he also made a lot of effort, naturally grasping the cause and process of things without any difference.

  At last, when Ai Zi Qing's powers were revealed one by one, he was utterly shocked!

  She's not just a little genius who founded an internet company, she's a devil who can handle both black and white!

  This is Chris's summary of her.

  ……

  James' previous industry, after all, is a large-scale group with perfect system and industrial chain, so the reception and control of Yushixuan did not take too much effort, and directly entered normal business.

  However, Kongsha received James' underground industry, but spent a lot of effort.

  Firstly, deal with those dirty affairs, Zhou Yuan and the Brown brothers followed Ai Zi Qing's instructions, thoroughly cutting off the unnecessary parts like chopping branches!

  For example, dirty woman trafficking incidents and evil disabled women performance projects were all abolished from James' underground club.

  And what needs to be done next is... fishing in this muddy water that has been stirred up after being destroyed.

  It has been a week since the destruction, and in this week, the Manhattan police have been extremely busy.

  The Manhattan underworld can be said to be in a state of division. After its downfall, a large area of land was left vacant, but there is no one in charge, like a huge machine that suddenly has no one operating it, and it just stops.

  Those perfect chains and tempting benefits, combined with countless manpower, have become the fat meat in the eyes of many forces.

  And the henchmen, now unemployed vagrants, without the support of their gang, what are they in society? In such a realistic society, how can they tolerate days that are neither high nor low?

  Let these people who are usually so arrogant serve plates in an American restaurant?

  Should these people who usually indulge in food, drink, prostitution and gambling be allowed to wipe cars and deliver goods?

  The answer is naturally affirmative.

  They are used to a life of doing nothing and getting paid, now the helpers have long been unable to integrate into normal life, just like special forces soldiers who are used to eating military rations in the army and can't find support or goals when they first enter society.

  ……

  "Now it's a big mess, the small heads in the gang who were originally nothing are now all trying to rise up, factions are divided, and there is a tendency of great opposition." Zhou Yuan sat opposite Ai Zi Qing, handing over the materials he had just received.

  Ai Zi Qing took over the materials, which were lists of small-time bosses and their current status. They were now divided into four factions, all of whom were previously low-level individuals who couldn't be reached by higher-ups. Naturally, they couldn't take over and didn't know how to continue operating previous projects such as money laundering and drug trafficking.

  So now they just bring those blind followers to rob everywhere, violate the law, grab land, and intend to collect a lot of protection fees to make a living.

  Ai Zi Qing finished reading the materials and slightly shook her head, softly saying: "Although they all call themselves a gang, this is no longer the case. Or rather, they may just be an embryonic form."

  Before the gang grew up, they had experienced a lot of struggles for territory and relied on protection fees to make a living. Now, these few forces are like newly established gangs, but they have been used to living an arrogant life, in short, they are the dregs of society, parasites.

  And now, without a strong constraint to bind these social ills, Manhattan is in chaos.

  Nowadays in Manhattan, murders and robberies occur from time to time during the day, while at night, underworld forces engage in fierce battles for territorial control.

  The police increased their efforts to crack down on organized crime, but in the end, things often got more and more out of hand.

  After thinking for a moment, Ai Zi Qing raised her head and asked: "What? Didn't any other factions intervene?"

  Zhou Yuan sneered coldly, "Now the internal situation is in chaos, and the police are cracking down heavily. No one wants to get involved in this mess, everyone is just watching from the sidelines with cold eyes, hoping to wait until they fight each other to the end, then take them all down at once."

  Seeing Ai Zi Qing nodding quietly, Zhou Yuan said: "However, according to the information I bought from Hei She in Chinatown, the Triad of Chinatown has already intervened and intends to support this Daniel." Zhou Yuan pointed to a photo on the document.

  Daniel was one of the small leaders who pulled up the gang.

  "What's with the Triad in Chinatown?" Ai Ziqing raised her head, slightly raising an eyebrow.
