Slaughter the entire family!

For Gao Qiqiang, this General Manager position was far better than his current role as Chairman.

After all, it meant being a part of Heavenly Palace Group; so many people fought tooth and nail just to get in, even for a lowly ordinary staff position.

"Thank you for thinking highly of me, Chairman Yi. I choose the first option."

His choice was not outside Yi Zhongtian's expectations. Unless the other party knew nothing about Heavenly Palace Group, even a fool would know which choice to make.

Looking at his attitude, however, he clearly had some understanding of Heavenly Palace Group.

"Good, let's sign the contract then."

The assistant beside him took several contracts out of a briefcase. Seeing this, Gao Qiqiang sighed inwardly: it seemed they had come prepared and hadn't even considered the possibility of the acquisition failing.

But then again, to them, this was just a small company. Acquisition failure? How could that be possible.

Truth be told, after gaining this identity associated with Heavenly Palace Group, he felt his mood improve significantly and his breathing become smoother.

After signing the contract, Gao Qiqiang smiled flatteringly and said, "Um, Chairman Yi, it's getting late. Why don't you let me fulfill my duties as a Host and give me a chance to entertain you?"

To his surprise, Yi Zhongtian raised his hand and refused directly. "No need. I have other matters to attend to. Next time. Also, settle the remaining share transfers as soon as possible. The group will send someone to take over as Chairman then; just hand the contracts to them. Furthermore, do not let the news of Jiangong Group's acquisition leak for now."

He then asked for Gao Qiqiang's bank account and transferred two billion to him.

Seeing Yi Zhongtian's decisive refusal, Gao Qiqiang had no choice but to drop the matter. "Understood, Chairman Yi. Let me see you out then."

After seeing Yi Zhongtian and the others off, Gao Qiqiang quickly took out his phone and called his younger brother and sister to his office.

He, meanwhile, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the skyscrapers outside, filled with visions for his future.

"Heavenly Palace Group... I'm one of Heavenly Palace Group's people now. With that person's reputation, I believe once the news of Jiangong Group being acquired gets out, the group's market value will soar to a terrifying level."

"Wait, since I know it's going to rise, can't I just buy the dip on Jianggong right now?"

Despite the thought, after a moment's consideration, he dismissed the idea.

Yi Zhongtian had said before leaving not to let the news out yet, which meant the other party's thoughts coincided with his. If he went to buy the dip, he might end up offending them.

Offending Yi Zhongtian for a bit of money was clearly not a wise move. Besides, he still held three percent of the shares, so it wasn't a total loss.

As expected, after reporting the matter to Wang Shaojun, Yi Zhongtian immediately had people start snatching up shares. Before the news was announced, Jiangong Group's stock price was at its lowest point.

Two days later, Tiangong Real Estate would issue an announcement.

The intention was quite clear: since Jiangong Group was a listed company, they naturally couldn't let the opportunity go to waste. Who would complain about having too much money?

On the other side, as Wang Shaojun was scrolling through TikTok, the system's prompt sounded in his mind: "Ding! Congratulations to the Host for spending five billion. You have received a cashback of 50 billion. The cashback funds have been deposited into the Host's account. Please check it."

Hearing this, Wang Shaojun felt a bit excited. Fifty billion was something even he couldn't ignore. As for exactly how much cash flow he had now, he couldn't even give a precise answer.

After all, the system's daily generation was now over one billion us dollars, which converted to seven billion RMB.

This didn't even include the gold. He estimated he had dozens of tons of gold in his hands now, though some of it was kept at the Heavenly Palace Hotel.

The Golden Avenue at the Heavenly Palace Hotel used gold that was rewarded by the system.

Pulling back his thoughts, he continued scrolling through live streams to collect today's rewards... 2:30 AM!

Inside the Chen Family Villa!

At this moment, Chen Yanxi was fast asleep in bed wearing a pink silk nightgown, unaware that several figures were creeping up outside the Chen Family Villa.

They moved stealthily, not attracting the attention of the night-watch Bodyguards.

One of them made several hand gestures to the others. Seeing this, they nodded in understanding and immediately dispersed.

The two Bodyguards at the entrance yawned, looking at the dark moonlit night as they complained, "I don't know what the Eldest Miss is worried about, suddenly increasing the number of people on night watch like this."

"Sigh, you're not a rookie, don't you get it? Rich people like them are the most afraid of dying. Any little disturbance sets off their nerves. Stop complaining; a job this easy with such high pay isn't easy to find. If you get fired, you're done for."

"What's there to be afraid of? It's already 2:30 AM, everyone in the Villa is long asleep. Keep an eye out; I'm too tired, I'm going to nap for half an hour."

But before he could move, a voice suddenly came through his earpiece: "There's a situation. Something's wrong with the surveillance; I can't see anything. Everyone, stay sharp. Respond if you copy."

"Gatekeepers copy!"

However, after waiting for a long time without hearing any other responses, the Bodyguards at the gate changed expression. They looked at each other and said in unison, "No way, right?"

"Damn, we can't be that unlucky."

"What do we do now? Should we wake up the Eldest Miss and the others?"

"I think... Who's there?!"

One of the Bodyguards was mid-sentence when the bushes outside suddenly rustled. He turned to look but saw nothing.

"Could it be a cat or some other animal?"

"Why don't you go check?"

"I'm not going. What if someone's making noise on purpose to lure us over?"

What they didn't know was that two shadows had already quietly approached them from behind. "Not bad, your alertness is okay, but that's all."

The sudden voice from behind made their hair stand on end. Before they could react, they slumped to the ground.

At that moment, a Pyramid Assassin stepped forward openly to report: "All lookouts have been removed, and the surveillance room has been cleared."

But just as he finished speaking, an alarm blared loudly inside the Villa.

The three of them looked at each other. One explained, "They must have an automatic alarm system installed. I didn't expect them to be so cautious—not only having patrolling Bodyguards but also an alarm system inside the house."

"Forget it. The Bodyguards have all been dealt with anyway; they can't cause much trouble. Finish this quickly."

"Understood!"

As the alarm blared, Chen Yanxi bolted upright in bed as if by reflex.

For some reason, she had been feeling uneasy all night, as if something was about to happen.

So she had arranged for twice the usual number of Bodyguards for the night watch, just in case.

But looking at it now, the good news was that her intuition was right.

The bad news was that the Bodyguards outside still couldn't stop them.

Ignoring what she was wearing, she quickly got out of bed, pulled open the bedside drawer, and took out the handgun inside. Only this could give her a sense of security now.
