Chapter 907 - 857: Times Have Changed! (1)

"Sorry, the master and madam are not receiving guests at the moment! I ask you gentlemen to please leave!"

The humming doorbell kept ringing.

A middle-aged woman switched off the doorbell sound and hurried out.

Through the high-tech electronic side wall, the butler of No.1 Villa glanced at several distinguished-looking middle-aged men outside.

Yet, he did not react to their imposing demeanor.

After all, who entering No.1 Villa is a mere nobody?

It must be said that being a butler at No.1 Villa grants one an insight few attain in a lifetime.

"Go back and tell your master! The officials have arrived!"

He glanced at the nanny.

The arrogant middle-aged man spoke.

"Sorry, madam has just fallen asleep, and the master’s intention is not to see anyone now! So, I ask you gentlemen to please leave!" The butler insisted.

Officials?

Don’t those high-ranking officials frequently come to No.1 Villa?

Isn’t it the same whether they are told to leave or not!

"You insolent thing! Can you represent the Qin Chu couple? Quickly go back and inform your master that we have been assigned by the Forbidden to discuss important matters! Now is not the time for choices; they must see us whether they like it or not!"

Another middle-aged man seemed to grow impatient, anger overtaking his face, and he lashed out.

The aura of high rank and arrogance was unmistakable.

"Very well, gentlemen, please wait a moment! I cannot decide whether to let you in, so I must first report to the master!" Seeing their aggressive demeanor coupled with "now is not the time for choices," the butler grew serious.

He humbly bowed.

Then quickly returned to No.1 Villa.

"I just can’t stand these nouveau riche! They really think they’re somebody!" After the butler-nanny reported back, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses scoffed coldly.

"At least a month ago, they really were somebody! Back then, we wouldn’t dare treat them this way, would we?" another man shook his head, mocking.

"But now they should have some self-awareness. That little bastard died, and it seems these two won’t have good days ahead, unless they emigrate! Otherwise, within Huaxia, many want to exploit them, devour their flesh and gnaw their bones! It’s estimated that No.1 Group has generated billions in pure profit for them in these few months! Billions! It’s not that I look down on them; if they stay in Huaxia, they really can’t guard these numbers!" The middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses continued to scoff with cold sarcasm.

"Forget those trivial matters; our goal is No.1 Group! Once we take over No.1 Group and possess it, the future prospects are known to all of us, aren’t they? Haha!" another middle-aged man said.

These three were dispatched by the three Forbidden titans.

Three men, representing three masters.

But all three masters were colluding, like bugs tied to the same rope.

The position of the three Forbidden elders is publicly motivated.

Yet, the stance of these three representatives is privately motivated.

They understand this, the Forbidden side understands this, Wang Anshi understands this!

As long as they don’t go too far, as long as they guarantee absolute official interests.

Then Wang Anshi and the four giants giving up their share can only turn a blind eye.

After all, this is the way of the world, the same unspoken rules in the deep sea vortex anywhere.

"Haha, exactly right!"

"Yes, we won’t talk about monetary interests for now; just that network weaving through Huaxia’s elite circles is enough for us to go through hell and high water, ha-ha!"

The middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and another echoed with loud laughter.

And so.

They already regarded No.1 Group as theirs.

Inside the villa.

The butler-nanny rushed out again.

She didn’t say any more.

Instead, she directly disabled the electronic wall’s gatekeeping system.

Then said to the middle-aged men, "Gentlemen, please! The master is waiting for you in the lounge!"

"Oh, holding on to airs even now, tsk-tsk!"

Without another look at the nanny, the three walked within shoulder to shoulder.

"A nouveau riche, how much awareness can you expect him to have?" the middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses sneered.

"Let him frolic a bit longer! If he insists, then let’s humor him; once the task is accomplished, he’ll be just another passerby. Come on! The master’s intention is a swift and decisive completion!"

Upon hearing these words, the middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and another nodded.

The three briskly walked through the estate, carrying briefcases with stern expressions, into No.1 Villa.

"Old Qin, what’s going on? Sister Wang ran back and forth several times!"

Even before the three entered.

Wei Shuying, draped in a jacket, walked into the lounge listlessly and addressed Qin Chu.

"Shuying, why have you come out again? Go back and sleep more!" His furrowed brows relaxed, Qin Chu jumped up from the sofa and urged.

"No, I can’t sleep! I shouldn’t sleep, dare not sleep!"

Saying this, Wei Shuying’s eyes misted over but she quickly bit her lip and held it back.

Before Qin Chu could respond, she abruptly changed the topic, "Has something happened again? Sister Wang ran back and forth, and you were sitting in the lounge dazing, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing! Just some officials arrived; I didn’t plan to meet but Sister Wang said their attitude was firm and insisted on seeing me, so I asked her to let them in, and I’m sitting here waiting for them." Qin Chu shook his head, tightening the coat on Wei Shuying as he spoke softly.

"Officials? Are they here for No.1 Group?"

Wei Shuying has a keen sense of worldly matters.

These few words quickly made her think about No.1 Group.

"Unless things take an unexpected turn, yes, that’s likely! They are not the first batch of scoundrels but certainly not the last bunch of fiends! Shuying, speaking of which, we probably can’t hold onto No.1 Group! When Xiao Fan was here, they could suppress their greedy ambitions, but now—it’s like ants on a hot stove, restless!" Qin Chu also grasped their intentions, speaking wistfully.

Yet as Qin Chu’s words fell.

Wei Shuying hadn’t managed to respond.

Outside.

The three impeccably dressed figures, acting in a grand manner, walked in.

Facing Qin Chu and Wei Shuying, who were standing together in the lounge.

These three spoke in unison, laughing.

"Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, haha, it’s been a long admiration!"

In their tone, they were laughing.

But Qin Chu and Wei Shuying weren’t foolish.

They heard the mockery and ridicule.

Is it likely they don’t know about their family’s circumstances?

If not clear, they might not dare to come with such an attitude even given multiple chances!

The repeatedly claimed long admiration, is evidently their schadenfreude after mocking!
