My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 828: The Complex Relationships of the Wang Family in the Provincial Capital

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family had a look of awkwardness and forced a smile, his expression extremely tense.

The people Chen Xuan called here could effortlessly destroy the Zhao Family.

Not even requiring the intervention of the three patriarchs, just Luo Yuanming alone could bring the Zhao Family to ruin in an instant.

As for the Wang Family from the provincial city, whom they had been trying hard to ingratiate themselves with, they were of no help.

They would not even lend a hand, unwilling to cross the esteemed Luo Family.

Not daring to hesitate, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family quickly bowed in apology, "Mr. Chen, I was muddle-headed, please forgive me!"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "Where is Zhao Yang? Does he still intend to take revenge on me?"

Zhao Yang dropped to his knees, "Mr. Chen, I realize my mistake, please do not hold it against me."

Chen Xuan sneered, "We'll deal with your matters later. I must first arrange tasks."

He then looked towards Luo Yuanming and the three patriarchs, "Originally, I intended to summon you to the Zhang Family today, but little did I know the Zhao Family would create a minor episode. Thus, I called you here to gather at the Zhao Family."

Luo Yuanming and the three patriarchs understood clearly— the Patriarch of the Zhao Family and his son obliviously provoked Chen Xuan.

"Mr. Chen, whatever instructions you have, please let us know," Luo Yuanming expressed his stance.

Chen Xuan nodded, "Lately, the Xu Family has been opposing me, and they've targeted the Zhang Family."

"Next, I will arrange for the Zhang Family to launch a counterattack, and you shall assist the Zhang Family in secret. Is there any issue?"

"No issue, we guarantee to complete the task!" Luo Yuanming replied respectfully.

The three patriarchs also expressed no objections one after another.

"Good, then it's settled."

Chen Xuan flicked the ashes from his cigarette and smiled, "I can responsibly inform you that the Xu Family is already on my blacklist, and they will definitely be annihilated."

"When the time comes, I will reward based on your merits, and the Xu Family's assets will be distributed to you according to your contributions and accomplishments."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your kind favor! We will wholeheartedly carry out your tasks," the four stood up together, bowing as they replied.

"That will be all; there's nothing else for you. You may leave," Chen Xuan waved them off.

Luo Yuanming and the three patriarchs successively exited the main hall, leaving the Zhao Family.

At this moment, the patriarch and his son of the Zhao Family had cold sweat streaming down their foreheads.

To annihilate the Xu Family over a mere disagreement!

In Chen Xuan's eyes, even a top-ranked family like the Xu Family was regarded as nothing, to be destroyed at will.

This terrifying power truly sends chills down one's spine!

"Patriarch of the Zhao Family, now answer my question."

Chen Xuan looked at him, "First question, did you take my father's R&D information from the Chen Family back then?"

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family dared not hesitate and responded, shaking, "Mr. Chen, I wouldn't dare lie. Initially, I only found some scrap paper, with no significant value."

"So, you didn't obtain my father's related R&D information, correct?" Chen Xuan's gaze was sharp and pressing.

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family forced a bitter smile, "Yes, my previous statement was entirely honest. Mr. Chen can discern the truth."

"Amongst my Zhao Family's industries over these years, none is related to your father's R&D information. Had I found it, it would have been put into production long ago."

Chen Xuan said nothing further, "Alright, now answer my second question."

"Years ago, Xu Chengliang from Maoyuan Company sent people to assassinate my parents, but they encountered another group of people in black. Have you heard of this incident?"

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family hesitated, "In response to Mr. Chen, I've heard bits and pieces, but not in detail."

"Xu Chengliang targeting your parents was clear to me at the time. After your parents' incident, I speculated Xu Chengliang was behind it. As for the group of people in black you mentioned... I am not aware."

Chen Xuan seemed slightly disappointed; it was just as he suspected—the Patriarch of the Zhao Family indeed had limited information.

Nonetheless, it's customary to inquire; it's better to believe it might be true than dismiss it as false.

"One last question, do you know of a Lady Lan in the provincial city? Do you know her specific identity or background?" Chen Xuan asked softly.

"Lady Lan?"

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family's eyes widened, "Could it be... the daughter of the Patriarch Wang from the third-ranked family, Wang Zilan?"

Hmm?

Chen Xuan's brow furrowed slightly, "Are there two Wang Families in the provincial city?"

Last night, the young master claiming to be from the second-ranked family Wang Family was with Zhao Yang.

Now, a third-ranked family Wang Family emerges.

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family awkwardly chuckled, "This matter is somewhat complicated."

"The two Wang Families actually belong to the same family. The head of the second-ranked family Wang is named Wang Haisheng."

"The head of the third-ranked family is named Wang Haijun, and they were originally half-brothers."

"Wang Haisheng took control of the Wang Family, while Wang Haijun, as the younger brother, chose to establish his own, thus creating another Wang Family."

"Naturally, their strength cannot be compared to his eldest brother and falls within the scope of a third-ranked family. However, to outsiders, the two Wang Families belong to the same faction, with little difference."

"Although the brothers have differing opinions, they remain closely connected, without reaching the point of complete estrangement."

Chen Xuan nodded, realizing there was such a complex relationship.

"Did Wang Zilan marry into the second-ranked Huo Family, becoming the first young madam of the Huo Family?" Chen Xuan asked.
