After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Qin Mingxue's expression subtly changed.

In the local area, the Fang Family could be described as covering the sky with one hand, and even she didn't dare to offend them.

Otherwise, for someone as insatiable as Fang Zhanbo, she would have taken action a long time ago.

Yet, with Chen Yu here, the Fang Family seemed like an insignificant existence.

Suddenly, Qin Mingxue became curious about Chen Yu, "By the way, Mr. Chen, I still don't know where exactly you come from?"

Chen Yu didn't answer. He stretched his limbs and stood up.

"I haven't had much rest during this period. I'd like to rest for a few days within your territory, could you help arrange that?"

Without saying much, Qin Mingxue immediately ordered her people to prepare.

Before long, Chen Yu was brought to a fairly decent hotel. Experience tales with empire

He didn't care about the details, and went straight to bed for a deep sleep, leaving the matters of the trade to Zhang Hu and Li Qiang.

The scale of the underground trade market was incredibly large, and in some ways, it was like a small city.

All facilities were available here, and even if it were isolated from the outside world, it could operate normally for a year.

But compared to Dongming Gorge, this place wasn't anything special at all.

Qin Mingxue sat in the living room, swinging her milk tea in her hand, her complexion somewhat gloomy.

On the table in front of her lay an invitation, on which was written a Triple Alliance Meeting!

This kind of meeting was the highest-level conference among local powers in Jiang Province.

It was generally used to mitigate the contradictions between various forces.

However, someone of Qin Mingxue's level wouldn't normally qualify to attend such a meeting.

The sudden invitation made their hidden agenda quite obvious.

"What exactly does the Fang Family want to do? Do they really think they can do something to me?"

Everyone in the inn was shivering with fear, and nobody dared to utter a word.

Just then, a man rushed in quickly.

"Lord Hu, your car has arrived. The people there said, please be sure to bring Mr. Chen with you."

Qin Mingxue's breathing became rapid; Chen Yu's identity as her personal advisor had been put out there, and everyone outside knew about it.

If she sent Chen Yu out because of the Fang Family, how could she continue to operate here?

"Tell them to get lost! Tell Fang Zhanbo not to try to intimidate me with the Triple Alliance Meeting. I'm not buying it!"

The people present froze, not knowing what to do.

They couldn't afford to provoke the Fang Family, nor did they dare to irritate Qin Mingxue.

At that moment, Chen Yu wandered into the shop, still groggy from sleep.

"Just woke up and I heard all this noise in your place, what's happened?"

Qin Mingxue sat down, somewhat helplessly.

"Fang Zhanbo is coercing us with the Triple Alliance Meeting, he wants both of us to go there."

Chen Yu chuckled, "Then let's go! I also want to see what kind of people Jiang Province has."

Qin Mingxue didn't know what to say; she knew all too well that Fang Zhanbo's intentions certainly weren't limited to this.

Chen Yu asked a shop clerk for a towel, quickly wiped his face, and left with Qin Mingxue.

Zhang Hu and Li Qiang had completed the transaction, but they didn't leave, choosing instead to obediently wait in the square.

According to Chen Yu's request, they had converted 60 percent of their profits entirely into materials, and once they left here, they would immediately transport them to the small town.

Excitement filled the faces of the two men. Although only 30 percent of the profits remained in their hands, it was still double what they had made on previous trips to do business here.

Seeing Chen Yu approaching, the two men eagerly went up to greet him.

"Mr. Chen, the money and goods are all settled. When do we depart?"

Chen Yu waved his hand, "I won't be going with you! Just come back here to pick me up after you've delivered the materials."

The two men's eyes lit up instantly. Chen Yu's words meant they could continue to collect vintage items in the town.

After expressing their thanks several times, the two hurriedly left the underground trading market.

Chen Yu and Qin Mingxue exited through another door, where a dozen or so business cars were neatly lined up waiting for them.

"This must be Mr. Chen!" A rather sleazy-looking man walked up with great excitement.

Without a word, Chen Yu nodded and directly boarded the nearest car.

Qin Mingxue hurriedly followed suit.

Apart from her keen hearing, she didn't have any particular talents. Once away from the underground trading market, she was just an ordinary woman.

With someone like Chen Yu by her side, she could feel a bit more secure.

The car drove for an unknown amount of time and finally stopped in front of a church.

From the outside, this place appeared to be a holy religious site, with a vast and majestic church and countless believers inside.

An elderly priest stood on an elevated platform, preaching from the Bible.

When Chen Yu first saw this scene, he thought it was a proper church. However, after activating the system scan, he realized this place was more than meets the eye.

There was a tunnel under the platform behind the church, where dozens of bosses had already gathered underground.

Each one wore a badge on their chest, which seemed to be a unique emblem of Jiang Province.

Two people dressed as nuns led them through the church and directly to the back, down into the tunnel.

Upon entering, Chen Yu immediately grabbed a chair and sat down in the principal seat.

The roomful of people instantly widened their eyes in shock—they hadn't expected Chen Yu to be so brazen. An old man slapped the table outright.

"You really have the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard, kid. Do you know where you are? How dare you be so arrogant!"

Chen Yu picked up a glass of red wine from the table and downed it in one gulp.

"Seems like you invited me here, didn't you? So, can't I take the principal seat?"

These words infuriated the old man, who became so livid and breathless that one of his bodyguards immediately drew a long knife and charged at Chen Yu.

As the guy got close, a blue-white light suddenly flickered, and his large body collapsed to the ground.

The place immediately fell silent, no one able to grasp what just happened.

Chen Yu didn't care about their reactions. He lifted his finger and gently tapped on the table.

"I have no interest in your crap meeting. I agreed to come here only to offer personal protection to Ms. Qin! But now I've changed my mind. Everyone here must pay me five billion as compensation, or you all die."

This sudden extortion startled everyone present.

These were influential figures in Jiang Province, and although they conducted shady dealings in private, they were always the ones doing the extorting.

Now, a young man in his twenties or thirties sat brazenly in front of them, demanding each hand over five billion, a bold challenge to their authority.

The elderly man immediately picked up his cane and shakily approached Chen Yu.
