Yuansheng

On the road filled with passing vehicles, the bald man Old He was driving. His driving skills were exceptionally steady; one could hardly feel any jolts.

Jiang Xun sat in the passenger seat staring at the video on the laptop, a file still gripped in his hand.

If Su Mian were here, he would recognize at a glance that the frozen frame on the computer was himself. Even the file the man was holding was the content of his chat with the two plainclothes officers from not long ago.

Jiang Xun kept zooming the video screen in and out, occasionally fast-forwarding or rewinding a few seconds, looking as if he were obsessed.

Even Old He beside him couldn’t help but complain while driving: “Captain, you’ve been looking at this screen for almost ten minutes. Aren’t your eyes tired? Could it be you think that Fiend is related to this kid?”

After returning, Jiang Xun had told the others about his encounter near the school. Regarding meeting a Fiend there, Old He and An Ye were also very surprised.

But they were a bit confused by his behavior of constantly fixating on the Su Mian in the video.

“It shouldn’t be that deep, right? This kid looks quite normal, and there’s nothing wrong with his records. And judging from the reaction of the Resident Team, this matter clearly has some inside story. Since they don’t want us to get involved, if it really were related to this Su Mian kid, why would they just hand us the video and the interrogation records so casually?”

“…”

Jiang Xun remained silent, his dark eyes resting quietly on the video screen, thinking about who knows what.

After a while.

He shook his head enigmatically and finally turned off the video, then pulled out another file.

“You’re right, maybe I’m truly overthinking it. Tsk… let’s handle the situation here first.”

He opened the new file, which was clearly much thicker.

One could see a striking title at the top—Yuansheng Group!

…

Yuansheng Group was one of the top-ranking powerful enterprises in Jade Capital.

In its early years, it mainly dealt with real estate. Later, it happened to catch the expansion of the Jade Capital New Capital at the time and took off with the momentum. Still later, it began to gradually transform. Today, its main business has become various large shopping malls, movie theaters, and entertainment venues, etc.

It was said that more than half of the entertainment venues in the New Capital could be more or less linked to them—an absolute colossus.

Currently, the patriarch of Yuansheng Group was named Yu Fu, who was also a famous figure in the Jade Capital business circles.

Regarding Yu Fu, this person’s experience could be described as magical.

This was because Yuansheng Group was not this Boss Yu’s family business. Decades ago, it still belonged to the prestigious Shen family of Jade Capital.

The Shen family was the true local overlord of Jade Capital, having operated here for hundreds of years, passing from generation to generation, enduring and prosperous.

But how could there really be a sun that never sets in this world?

In recent generations, the Shen family encountered huge setbacks. But it wasn’t in business; it was in the family.

Starting from an unknown generation, the Shen family’s bloodline began to grow thinner by the day. And for some reason, it was very easy for various accidents to occur.

For example, the former Old Master Shen originally had six children, but half of them died prematurely for no reason. He finally managed to raise two sons and a daughter to adulthood, only for the eldest to die on the spot in a car accident one day. The second son also had his legs broken in a crash. Although the daughter was fine, she developed a mental illness after that, constantly saying someone wanted to harm her.

Later, the Old Master was forced to a point where there was no other way; he looked for some supernatural things, using various methods to ward off disasters and evil. One could say it was actually somewhat useful; at least after that, the family was stable for a few years.

But as the Old Master passed away, accidents began to happen again. That is, whether it was the second son who luckily survived or the daughter who had mental illness, no descendants were born for a long time.

The second Shen son spent his life sowing seeds everywhere, but in the end, he only managed to leave behind two children, a boy and a girl. As for his sister’s side, it was directly cut off.

Then it passed to the previous generation. The boy left by the second Shen son also worked hard his whole life, but the result was that he only fathered a daughter who was weak and sickly since childhood. The massive enterprise could only rely on him and his sister to support it bitterly.

But decades ago, his sister also died in a car accident, and similarly failed to leave behind a single child.

The Shen family seemed to have fallen into a massive curse, seeing that it was about to collapse. And at this moment, our protagonist Boss Yu appeared.

Boss Yu was just like his name; initially, he was just a fishmonger at a wet market. He hadn’t even attended high school and had a meager middle-school education.

Normally, he likely would have never made a name for himself his whole life, let alone become a billionaire boss.

But later, somehow, he actually managed to hook up with the daughter of the Shen family head at that time!

No one knew how he did it.

Even now, many people still find it incredibly hard to believe.

After all, the two were simply not from the same class, let alone the same world.

But reality is just that magical and irrational. One must know that Boss Yu was already in his thirties at the time and had been divorced once. Although his looks weren’t ugly, they had nothing to do with being handsome.

And the eldest miss of the Shen family? She was fair-skinned, beautiful, and wealthy—and she wasn’t even twenty years old yet!

Under such a bizarre situation, not only did the two get together, but they were also incredibly passionate. That Shen family miss even stated bluntly that she would marry no one but him.

At first, the Shen family head was obviously in disagreement, and his reaction was incredibly intense. Then, something even more magical happened: he had someone bring Yu Fu before him, and after the two talked once, he agreed!

Yes, he actually agreed.

Such an outrageous plot couldn’t even be written for a television drama, but in reality, it happened.

In fact, after they got married, the Shen family head truly cultivated Boss Yu as a successor!

Then, just as everyone was waiting to see them become a joke, as the Shen family head’s body grew weaker day by day and Yu Fu gradually took over the position, Yuansheng Group instead began to take off rapidly.

This man was simply as if he were blessed by providence; whatever he did succeeded. Even the Shen family’s “bloodline curse” completely failed to take effect on his side.

The Shen family miss became pregnant the very year they married, and gave birth to a son and a daughter the following year. Later, she progressively bore three more children for Yu Fu, and all of them were physically strong, free of illness or disaster.

However, the thing that truly draped a cloak of mystery over Boss Yu was an incident that happened over ten years ago.
