Luo Jiajun had not anticipated the Chen family’s downfall to come so suddenly. To him, the family was an immovable mountain. When he first came here to the Imperial Capital, the Chen family was so prosperous and powerful that he had forgotten all about his own family. Blinded by their glory, he stayed with them in the Imperial Capital ever since.

So what if he was considered a good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Chen family? Life was much better here than back in N City where he had to work all day just to make a living. Here, there was no longer the need to rush around like a madman in chase of a wage. In fact, some of the rich folks here would congratulate him from time to time. This all was courtesy of the Chen family. As for his poor wife, well, good luck to her.

Luo Wenlang’s recent appearance had reminded him that he still had a son. Despite this, he still looked down on the boy as if he was just another small fry. After all, how much could one man do against the entire Chen family?

In truth, not only had he defeated the Chen family, he had also cut off their escape route!

Chen Feng, her father as well as the high-ranking officials involved in the scandal were all rounded up and placed under police custody. Some sources say that the amount of money involved in their criminal activities numbered over 900 million!

Such a massive amount meant that there was virtually zero chance of them ever making a comeback; if lucky, they might spend the rest of their lives behind bars.

Just what the hell was this Luo Wenlang made of? How was he able to take down the entire Chen family as if they were nothing?

He sat on the stool, waiting quietly for the officer to bring Chen Feng out. She had always treated him with indifference. All things business was handled by her own personnel and he was kept in the dark when it came to a majority of their family’s affairs.

Because of this, he was released by the police after spending two days behind bars.

“Are you here to laugh at me?” asked Chen Feng behind the tempered glass barrier that separated them. That piece of glass was like the boundary between two different worlds. It was only a couple of days and yet her face had undergone a visible change. Her once delicate face was now filled with wrinkles. It almost seemed like she had stepped into a time machine that went ten years into the future.

Luo Jiajun looked back at her. “I… I’m just here to take a look.”

“Now that you’ve gotten rid of me, gotten rid of the Chen family, why don’t you go find that son of yours, huh? Let’s see if he would like to have you back.” Chen Feng’s tone was filled with sarcasm. “Back then, you abandoned them for the sake of money. I guess you’ll be doing the same thing now, wouldn’t you?”

“You!” Luo Jiajun’s face turned beet red. Staring back at Chen Feng, his lips were trembling. And yet, he struggled to produce anything. She was right. He really was thinking about meeting his son, Luo Wenlang.

Without saying a word more, he stood up and left.

Seeing his receding back, the arrogant look on Chen Feng’s face shattered into a million pieces. She couldn’t comprehend why she had been reduced to such a sorry state. Luo Wenlang was nothing but an orphan. That very orphan who she was able to shove around forcefully without consequences back in N City.

Everything changed when she got that warning from the Jiang family. It had been nothing but a downward spiral since then.

She knew that Luo Wenlang was only being backed up by his company, Nine Heavens. If she was given one more chance to get back at him, she would not underestimate anyone from this company. At the same time, she would not give Luo Wenlang a chance to get help from Nine Heavens either!
