155: Chapter 155 Celebrating Victory

He was lunging forward when his body suddenly froze. His right hand, holding the knife, dropped limply, and his muscles were quickly paralyzed. He stumbled and fell heavily to the ground, the short blade flying out of his hand and landing a few steps away with a clatter.

Zhou Wanquan's face was filled with disbelief as he struggled to turn his neck.

Leng Yue, leading several plainclothes criminal investigation officers, rushed out from behind the greenery on both sides. They silently and tightly surrounded him, completely cutting off all his paths of retreat.

Leng Yue held a police firearm equipped with a silencer, the muzzle pointing slightly downward, her expression cold and solemn.

That precise shot just now had come from her hand.

Only at this moment did Zhou Wanquan wake up from his dream, the madness in his eyes instantly replaced by despair.

From the very beginning, he had completely fallen into Jiang Chen's trap.

The so-called weak campus security and the so-called perfect ambush point were all illusions deliberately guided by Jiang Chen.

All his actions and plans had been under Jiang Chen's control from start to finish.

He thought he was being seamless, but he was merely walking into a trap.

Jiang Chen stepped forward slowly, looking down at the slumped Zhou Wanquan, whose face was filled with despair and resentment. His eyes were indifferent, and his voice was calm as he spoke.

"Zhou Wanquan, in the game of the capital market, winning and losing are normal. You couldn't afford to lose and chose the extreme path of crime; you were simply seeking your own destruction."

Leng Yue stepped forward and personally took out the handcuffs, firmly restraining Zhou Wanquan.

Her eyes were cold, and her voice was firm and powerful: "Zhou Wanquan, you are suspected of organizing and leading an underworld criminal organization, intentional injury, commercial fraud, illegal embezzlement, and other crimes. With conclusive evidence, you are now under arrest according to the law."

The plainclothes officers quickly stepped forward and took the distraught Zhou Wanquan, who had completely lost the ability to resist, away from the path.

The entire process was silent, not disturbing the campus in the slightest.

This long-lasting Wantai turmoil, this crazy drama of extreme revenge, finally came to a complete close at this moment.

Leng Yue turned to look at Jiang Chen, a flash of complex emotion in her eyes, which then turned into solemn gratitude: "Mr. Jiang, thank you for providing the key and precise clues. And thank you both for your precise cooperation, which allowed us to successfully capture the suspect and prevent a violent incident."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, his expression composed and appropriate: "Cooperating with the police to fight crime is the duty of every citizen. Officer Leng and the other officers are the ones who truly worked hard."

The officers escorted the limp Zhou Wanquan, silently disappearing at the end of the forest path.

The surroundings returned to the unique tranquility of the campus. The evening breeze brushed through the lush branches, bringing bursts of refreshing scent of vegetation.

Seeing that Zhou Wanquan was completely under control and had no possibility of resistance, Leng Yue's tense expression, which she had held for many days, finally softened slightly.

She briefly spoke with Jiang Chen about the follow-up case cooperation and the statement process, then led her team away, heading back to the Criminal Investigation Detachment to follow up on the interrogation and the closing of the evidence chain.

Jiang Chen stood where he was, looking up at the setting sun in the distance.

The orange-red afterglow fell gently on him, shedding his previous cold aura. His eyes and brows held a rare sense of leisure and indifference.

The Wantai Real Estate turmoil that had troubled him for a long time had finally come to a complete end.

Zhou Wanquan was behind bars, awaiting the severe punishment of the law.

The Wantai Group had completely disintegrated, the tree had fallen and the monkeys had scattered; its former glory was gone.

The underworld forces that had depended on Wantai for years and the hidden commercial legal hazards were also rooted out with Zhou Wanquan's arrest.

All disputes and crises finally returned to peace.

Just then, Jiang Chen's phone suddenly rang. The caller ID was Shen Xi. The crisp ringtone broke the momentary silence.

He casually pressed the answer button.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Xi's voice was clear and sharp, carrying an irrepressible joy and certainty as she reported clearly word for word.

"President Jiang, I'm officially reporting to you—the two core acquisition tasks for Wantai Real Estate that you personally deployed and repeatedly emphasized have both been successfully completed!"

"First, the permanent operating rights for the shops in Wantai Real Estate's ten core business districts. All title transfers, legal handovers, and filing procedures have been completed. The ownership is clear without any disputes, and they have been fully incorporated under Chenxing Capital."

"Second, 100% of the equity in Wantai Commercial Management. The industrial and commercial changes, equity delivery, and management rights transfer have all been implemented in place without any legacy issues. The entire process strictly followed your requirements, without allowing any external capital to intervene."

Shen Xi detailed the results methodically, her tone becoming more determined: "Currently, Chenxing Capital wholly owns all operating rights in Wantai's ten golden business districts and has simultaneously taken over the complete commercial management operation system, directly controlling the core commercial circulation network of the city. The asset valuation far exceeds expectations, and your initial commercial layout goals have been preliminarily achieved."

This detailed report officially announced that Chenxing Capital had achieved a complete victory in this commercial game against Wantai.

From the initial quiet layout, gradually encroaching on Wantai Real Estate, to precisely grasping Wantai's lifeblood and taking over the two core assets.

Jiang Chen had moved step by step, with everything linked together without any oversight. Chenxing Capital had also completely established its foothold in the local business landscape through this.

Now that the opponent was destroyed, the crisis resolved, the two core assets fully landed, and all goals achieved, his anxious mind could finally relax completely.

Jiang Chen leaned against a Plane Tree trunk, quietly listening to Shen Xi's report. A faint smile flickered in his eyes, and his tone was indifferent but full of recognition: "Well done! You and the entire project team have worked hard during this time."

He pondered for a moment and slowly gave the follow-up instructions: "From today, all asset handover wrapping up and document sorting work related to Wantai will be suspended."

"All members of the project team will have a one-week paid vacation, with full salary and benefits, plus an additional project bonus. Everyone, put down your work and rest well. The subsequent asset operations and commercial planning will be deployed after the vacation ends."

"Understood, President Jiang! I will implement the arrangements immediately."

Shen Xi's tone was respectful, her heart full of conviction in Jiang Chen's decisions. She hung up the phone and began to arrange the vacation and bonus matters.

Putting away his phone, Jiang Chen turned to look at Lu Zheng and Zhang Heng beside him. The relaxation in his expression became more evident as he spoke calmly.

"The matter with Zhou Wanquan is completely settled, and the two core assets of Wantai we wanted to take have also been secured. Everyone has worked hard during this time."

"You two contact the others and Shen Xi now. Tonight, I'll host a celebration banquet at the Cloud Top Club to celebrate properly."

Lu Zheng and Zhang Heng looked at each other, a faint smile appearing on their usually cold and solemn faces. They responded in unison, "Yes, President Jiang."

During this time, they had been by Jiang Chen's side throughout, witnessing a flawless commercial harvest and facing extremely dangerous emergencies together.

Now that everything had ended successfully, it was indeed time to relax and rest well.
