203: Chapter 203 The Marriage Crisis During Graduation Season

Outside Terminal T3 of the Imperial Capital International Airport.

Chen Muyang held Lin Wanqiu's hand and strode out of the glass revolving doors.

Lin Wanqiu's palms were soaked with sweat. She kept looking back.

"Stop looking." Chen Muyang didn't stop walking.

Several Wu Family bodyguards in black suits chased them out of the hall. The lead bodyguard clutched his broken wrist, his fleshy face twisted in pain.

"Stop! How dare you take away Young Master Wu's woman!" the lead bodyguard roared, reaching for the baton at his waist.

He didn't get the chance to pull it out.

Two black Range Rovers slammed on their brakes and stopped by the roadside. The screech of tires against the pavement was ear-piercing. The car doors swung open.

Eight members of the Shadow Guard wearing tactical vests rushed out of the vehicles.

No nonsense. No warnings.

A tactical combat boot kicked directly into the lead bodyguard's knee. The sound of bone cracking was crisp.

In less than half a minute, all five bodyguards who had chased them out were rolling on the ground.

Chen Muyang pulled open the car door, tucked Lin Wanqiu into the back seat, and followed her inside.

"To the airport's VIP tarmac," Chen Muyang ordered the driver.

The Range Rover convoy merged into the traffic.

The interior of the car was silent.

Lin Wanqiu leaned against the window, looking at Chen Muyang.

"Wu Zhen is the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. The Wu Family has been rooted in Jiangnan for decades, with connections in both the legal and criminal worlds." Lin Wanqiu lowered her head, her fingers twisting together. "My father's company was operating normally. Wu Tian deliberately sent someone to set a trap, using a fake overseas project to drain the Lin Family's capital chain. This three billion bridge loan is entirely a high-interest trap set by the Wu Family. If the money isn't repaid tomorrow, my father will be sent to prison."

Lin Wanqiu's voice grew lower as she spoke. She looked up, her eyes rimmed with red.

"Chen Muyang, let me go back. You've injured the Wu Family bodyguards; they won't let this go. The Chen Family is powerful in the Imperial Capital, but Jiangnan is the Wu Family's territory. Even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. I can't let you get dragged into this."

Chen Muyang took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it over.

"Drink some water," Chen Muyang said.

Lin Wanqiu didn't take it.

Chen Muyang stuffed the water bottle into her hand.

"I told you, three billion is nothing." Chen Muyang took out his phone and dialed Chen Haoyu's number.

The call was answered instantly.

"Uncle Chen. Investigate the background of the Jiangnan Wu Family. The more detailed, the better. Also, give me access to ten billion in cash—I want a black card with no limit." Chen Muyang spoke rapidly.

"Understood. The private jet is ready. The third squad of the Shadow Guard is on standby at Jiangnan Airport," Chen Haoyu replied concisely.

"And one more thing," Chen Muyang added. "Check the Wu Family's overseas capital pools. Notify the finance department to dump one billion first to short the stocks of their two listed companies. Consider it a greeting gift for them."

"It will be done within ten minutes."

The call ended.

Lin Wanqiu's eyes widened. Ten billion in cash? And shorting the Wu Family's stocks?

The Gulfstream G650 broke through the clouds, flying straight to Jiangnan.

Inside the cabin, Chen Muyang looked at the information on his tablet.

The Wu Family's industries involved real estate, shipping, and finance. Their total assets were nearly a hundred billion. In Jiangnan, they truly covered the sky with one hand. The ocean-going cargo ships under the Wu Family's name controlled most of Jiangnan City's import and export trade. Real estate projects were scattered throughout the prime locations of Jiangnan City.

Wu Tian, the Young Master of the Wu Family. Relying on his family's power, he had done no small amount of bullying and harassing. Setting this trap for Lin Wanqiu's father was to force her to submit. The data showed that Wu Tian kept more than a dozen mistresses, and his private life was extremely chaotic.

Chen Muyang turned off the tablet.

Two hours later, the private jet landed at Jiangnan International Airport.

Ten black Mercedes-Benz G63s were parked on the tarmac.

Chen Muyang held Lin Wanqiu's hand as they walked down the air stairs.

The Shadow Guard captain pulled open the car door.

"Boss, the Wu Family Manor is holding an engagement banquet. All the prominent people in Jiangnan are there," the captain reported.

"Let's go." Chen Muyang got into the car.

The convoy drove out of the airport and headed straight for the Wu Family Manor.

On the outskirts of Jiangnan City, the Wu Family Manor covered a vast area.

The outside of the manor was filled with rolls-royces and Bentleys.

The banquet hall was brightly lit, filled with the scent of perfume and the rustle of fine clothes.

Wu Tian, wearing a white custom suit and holding a glass of champagne, stood in the center of the hall.

"Young Master Wu, congratulations! The Lin girl is the campus belle of Jiangnan University." A boss with a beer belly approached to offer a toast.

Wu Tian took a sip of champagne and laughed out loud.

"What campus belle? For three billion, she'll crawl into my bed obediently." Wu Tian boasted loudly, "That old man of the Lin family still thought he could fight me. With just a few tricks, he has to obediently send his daughter over. Calculating the time, the plane picking her up should have landed. When she arrives later, everyone must drink a few more glasses."

Echoes of laughter rang out around him.

Wu Zhen sat at the main table, smoking a cigar, indifferent to his son's arrogance. In Jiangnan, the Wu Family was the law. Anyone who dared to offend the Wu Family was seeking death.

"For the Lin Family to climb up to the Wu Family, smoke must be rising from their ancestral graves," a noblewoman nearby agreed with a smile.

"A woman like Lin Wanqiu, who pretends to be pure and lofty, will still have to be obedient once she's in Young Master Wu's hands," someone else chimed in.

Wu Tian tilted his head back and finished the champagne in his glass.

*Bang!*

A loud noise erupted.

The two three-meter-high solid wood doors of the banquet hall were kicked open from the outside.

The thick wooden doors slammed against the walls, wood chips flying everywhere.

The laughter in the hall came to a halt.

All the guests turned to look.

Chen Muyang, wearing a black trench coat, walked in over the shattered wood.

He held Lin Wanqiu's hand in his left.

Dozens of fully armed Shadow Guard members filed in, immediately sealing off all exits.

Their muzzles were pointed towards the ground at their sides.

No one in the banquet hall dared to speak.

Seeing Lin Wanqiu being held by a strange man, Wu Tian's neck turned red with rage.

"Who are you? How dare you come to the Wu Family to cause trouble!" Wu Tian smashed his wine glass and pointed at Chen Muyang, cursing, "Security! Cut this kid down for me!"

A dozen Wu Family bodyguards rushed out from the corners, batons in hand.

Chen Muyang stood his ground without moving.

The Shadow Guard captain took a step forward. His tactical boot sent the lead bodyguard flying. The bodyguard crashed into the champagne tower, and glass shattered all over the floor.

The other Shadow Guard members moved simultaneously.

With just a few strikes, all dozen Wu Family bodyguards were lying on the floor, wailing.

Not a single person in the room made a sound.

Chen Muyang turned his head and looked at Wu Zhen, whose face was twitching at the main table.

"The Wu Family engagement banquet?" Chen Muyang spoke, his voice booming over the entire hall.

He pulled a black card with gold trim from his trench coat pocket and "slapped" it onto the long dining table nearby.

"I'm here to deliver the betrothal gifts. Let's see if your Wu Family can handle them."
