For half a year, Chen Haoxuan had been viewed as a villain, but after six months, the villagers of Chen Family Village finally began to forget about Xiao Hua Chen's murder. It was fortunate for them that it was Chen Haoxuan; if it had been someone else, that person would have left long ago, and they wouldn't have had the chance to prosper.
During these six months, Chen Haoxuan rarely wandered around Chen Family Village. He disliked being pointed at by the villagers, so he either stayed at home or went elsewhere.
Recently, Chen Haoxuan did something quite satisfying: he dismissed the more than ten individuals who claimed to be scientists and businessmen. They had failed to meet his expectations; the so-called scientists hadn't produced any research in half a year, while the businessmen had made tens of millions but with unclear sources, clearly engaging in some shady dealings.
Chen Haoxuan had signed trial contracts with those individuals, so they couldn't do anything against him since they indeed hadn't completed their tasks. They were spies, not real scientists or businessmen; they only knew how to blend in. If Chen Haoxuan had truly relied on them, they would have found ways to accomplish his tasks. However, he never placed any trust in them. Otherwise, they could have used their skills to steal others' achievements, which was their true talent.
The Agent Division of the United States was under immense pressure! They had started targeting Chen Haoxuan years ago but faced repeated failures, which dealt a significant blow to them. They had paid a high price in their attempts to deal with him—losing money, personnel, and resources.
Now, as the economy of the United States continued to decline while China's economy thrived, it was evident that China's products were high-tech while those from the United States were outdated. The most sought-after product from China was steel; although it was more expensive than that from the United States, it was worth every penny due to its superior durability and quality.
The steel mill operated by Chen Haoxuan caused many steel mills in the United States to switch to producing ordinary steel for construction companies. This was the only way they could continue to survive. A small number of others went out of business because they were harmed by their competitors who took away their business, leaving them unable to maintain their factories.
In China, one could say that Chen Haoxuan single-handedly supported the economy by establishing countless companies and factories, providing jobs for many unemployed individuals. Those who admired him followed suit by starting their own businesses and factories; although most failed, a few succeeded. As China's economy improved, consumer spending increased as well, creating great opportunities for profit and prompting many aspiring entrepreneurs to start businesses, further boosting China's economy.
China's rise instilled panic in the United States; China's rapid development had already surpassed that of the United States economically. The only thing that provided a sense of balance for the United States was that China did not match them militarily.
One day, Chen Haoxuan went with Yang Lin to New City to check on their business. Chen Haoxuan rode his impressive motorcycle while Yang Lin drove his luxury BMW. Upon arriving in New City and passing through a bustling area, Chen Haoxuan suddenly heard someone shout "robbery." He turned around and saw a young man running desperately with a woman's handbag in hand, pursued closely by a stylishly dressed girl who shouted for help. Despite the crowd around them, no one stepped forward to assist her.
Chen Haoxuan remained kind-hearted; upon seeing this scene, he took an iron whip from his motorcycle. Riding his bike with the whip as a weapon was ideal. Within seconds, he caught up with the young robber and swung the whip with a sharp crack against his back. The young man fell to the ground in pain and rolled around. This was Chen Haoxuan showing mercy; otherwise, given his strength, one strike could have taken the young man's life.
Finally catching up with her assailant, the girl grabbed her handbag and tugged at it repeatedly while shouting, "Let go! This is my handbag! Hurry!" But the young man refused to release it.
At that moment, a bald man accompanied by five thugs pushed through the crowd and approached them. He immediately yelled at the girl: "You stupid woman! That handbag belongs to my brother's wife! How dare you steal it? Are you looking for trouble? I don't want to hit women, so you'd better get lost right now; otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"This handbag is mine! My ID is inside! If you don't return it now, I'll call the police," she said timidly; it was understandable for her to be scared facing so many thugs.
"Go ahead and call!" the bald man replied arrogantly before turning to the young robber and saying, "Let's go; let's see who dares stop us."
"Don't go, don't go, give me back my bag..." The girl was anxious, and judging by her urgency, there must be something valuable in her bag.
At that moment, Chen Haoxuan and Yang Lin approached, blocking Bald Guy and his crew. When Bald Guy saw Chen Haoxuan, he immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Brother Xuan, spare me! Let me go! If you let me go, I will leave New City right away and never come back..."
Chen Haoxuan was taken aback. When did he gain such power that a small thug would kneel before him? He turned to Yang Lin and asked, "Yang Lin, what's going on? Did you tell the thugs in New City to kneel when they see me?" Yang Lin was currently the top boss in New City, which made Chen Haoxuan suspicious.
Yang Lin feigned innocence and said, "Haoxuan, I don't have that kind of ability!"
The girl whose bag was stolen saw how scared Bald Guy was of Chen Haoxuan. It was as if she had found a lifeline. She rushed to Chen Haoxuan's side and pleaded, "Sir, you must help me! They stole my bag."
Chen Haoxuan told Bald Guy, "Give the bag back to this lady."
Bald Guy didn't think twice and shouted to his underlings, "Hurry up and return the bag to this lady!"
The girl received her bag and thanked Chen Haoxuan before hurriedly leaving, possibly afraid of drawing attention to herself.
Chen Haoxuan didn't pay much attention to her; instead, he curiously asked the still-kneeling Bald Guy, "Who are you? Why did you kneel when you saw me?"
Bald Guy thought to himself, "Keep pretending! Don't think I don't know you're just looking for an excuse to torment me." Out loud, he spoke with a whimper to Chen Haoxuan, "Brother Xuan, don't joke around! I'm Zhu Tian! You said you'd hit me every time you saw me. I... I didn't expect to see you here. Brother Xuan, please let me go this time! I promise I'll leave New City immediately and never come back."
Chen Haoxuan finally remembered and chuckled, "Zhu Tian, why are you bald? You made it so hard for me to recognize you. Are you thinking of becoming a monk?"
Yang Lin also laughed and said, "Zhu Tian, you really lack backbone! Kneeling when you see Haoxuan—if I were you, I'd choose to run away."
Zhu Tian silently cursed Yang Lin in his heart: "You idiot! Do you think I don't want to run? But where can I go? Chen Haoxuan's influence is everywhere; even you as the top boss in New City are just a little brother of Chen Haoxuan. If I run away, I'm asking for death!" Zhu Tian vividly remembered how Chen Haoxuan had treated him before. He had undergone plastic surgery because of Chen Haoxuan—after all, Chen Haoxuan had smashed his nose and knocked out his teeth. In his mind, Chen Haoxuan was a demon.
Chen Haoxuan spoke up again and asked Zhu Tian, "What are you doing now?"
Zhu Tian said, "I... I'm still a thug, living by robbing and stealing with a few people."
Upon hearing Zhu Tian's words, Chen Haoxuan cursed him inwardly for not changing his ways. He coldly replied, "You should go to the police station and turn yourself in! Once you serve your time and I no longer see you doing bad things, I'll let you go and never bother you again."
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, Zhu Tian was overjoyed and bowed to him repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Xuan Ge, thank you..." Zhu Tian was from New City, so he didn't want to leave. He knew many people there and could live well doing anything. However, if he went to another place, he wouldn't be able to survive. That's why he had never left New City.
The onlookers were all curious and began discussing what kind of person Chen Haoxuan was to make a thug so afraid that he would happily turn himself in after just one sentence.
Chen Haoxuan wore sunglasses, so the crowd couldn't recognize him. As for how Zhu Tian recognized him, no one knew.
"Go turn yourself in now! Remember, if I find out you didn't turn yourself in, there will be no place for you in this world," Chen Haoxuan said before turning to leave.
Yang Lin squatted down and mocked Zhu Tian, saying, "Zhu Tian, we were classmates after all! You shouldn't have treated Chen Haoxuan that way back then. Look at me now; I'm the boss of New City. I have thousands of subordinates, and my entertainment venues are spread all over New City. I'm planning to expand my business two or three times next year, which means I'll have even more subordinates. Let me tell you secretly, my annual salary is five million Renminbi, plus various benefits; it adds up to about six million Renminbi. Are you envious? Hehe..."
Zhu Tian remained silent, but Yang Lin could see the envy in his eyes. Zhu Tian never expected that Chen Haoxuan would become so powerful. If he had known, he wouldn't have bullied him; instead, he would have treated him like a revered ancestor.
To be honest, Chen Haoxuan should actually thank Zhu Tian, because without him, he wouldn't have come to this world. He remembered that it was Zhu Tian who threw an apple that hit the previous Chen Haoxuan on the head, which led to his arrival in this world.
