After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Everything that happened on the scene made everyone close their eyes in disbelief. The two groups that had been at daggers drawn just moments ago had now become such a spectacle.

The many people kneeling on the ground were all well-known figures in the business world of Suzhou City, and it was unthinkable that they would demean themselves as lowly as crawling creatures.

Chen Yu simply sat there with an indifferent expression on his face, waiting for these people to kneel and beg for mercy, almost enough for him to step forward and slowly rise to his feet, then he took out the contract that he had prepared well in advance.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I don't want to make things difficult for all of you," he said, "but you have forced my hand. If you want to resolve today's matter, then please sign this contract. From now on, we will be even."

The crowd dared not delay and quickly reached forward to grab the contract.

But when they saw the contents of the contract, they were all stunned and dared not say a word.

The contract wasn't anything extraordinary, it simply required them to hand over all of their companies to Chen Yu for full control, while they would retain just a small portion of their original shares, with all management rights stripped away.

Honestly speaking, the contract left them with enough dignity to ensure they wouldn't go bankrupt immediately, but to give up the businesses they had worked so hard to build over a lifetime to someone else was something anyone would find hard to accept.

Hu Sanjiang's breathing suddenly became rapid. He brought the contract right in front of Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, do I really need to sign such a contract as well?" he asked.

Chen Yu couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Hu, it seems you already lost to me yesterday, didn't you? Your assets worth several hundreds of millions are still in my hands. If you don't sign, you won't get that money back."

Hu Sanjiang's eyes widened in shock; he had not expected to end up like this.

But now, getting all his assets back was the best outcome he could hope for.

After a moment's hesitation and without thinking too much, he signed his name directly on the contract and also placed some of his company's seals on the table.

Chen Yu nodded his head in satisfaction and then turned to look at the others.

These people had already lost any will to resist and didn't dare utter another word, only obediently signing the contract one by one.

When everyone had finished signing, Chen Yu took out another contract from his person.

"Of course, I won't be so tyrannical as to strip away all your rights," he said. "There are still some things that should be left for you."

The group, who had experienced despair, suddenly saw a glimmer of hope and hurriedly gathered around to find that this new contract was an application for cooperation in ready-to-cook meals.

In other words, from now on, all the food companies they ran could collaborate with Chen Yu's industrial park.

This was undoubtedly a huge blessing for them.

They had been representatives of traditional commerce and industry, and development within their companies had been greatly limited due to the entrenched models, preventing further growth.

If they could establish a partnership with Chen Yu, it would be an incredible stroke of luck.

Chen Yu did not wish to linger there any longer, he merely left Hou Jianchang's phone number and left the scene.

Suzhou City had already formed a unique operational system and there was no need for him to stay, as Hou Jianchang could take full responsibility.

Moreover, after today, there would be no other powers in Suzhou City. Even the magnates of traditional commerce and industry would be tied to the industrial park.

Put simply, the city from now on would be under Chen Yu's sphere of influence.

Suzhou City International Airport.

Chen Yu and Hou Jianchang sat in the waiting room, chatting happily.

No one had expected that this matter would be resolved so easily.

Originally, Chen Yu had planned to stay here for another month, to completely absorb the assets of those guys.

I never expected that a single gamble on stones would settle all matters.

"Old Chen, from now on, Suzhou City is in my hands. You can rest assured."

Chen Yu patted Hou Jianchang on the shoulder and, without saying much more, prepared to board the plane. But after taking just two steps, a warning alert echoed in his mind.

[Target locked, seven individuals, carrying weapons]

Chen Yu immediately halted, his eyes filled with vigilance.

Hou Jianchang thought Chen Yu had something he hadn't explained, and intended to approach and ask.

Before he could move, a thin man suddenly burst forth, holding in his hand an extremely bizarre spike.

The spike bristled with barbs, each one pitch-black and glossy, obviously coated with potent poison.

Hou Jianchang's pupils dilated in shock; he hadn't expected someone to dare attack Chen Yu in this place.

Just as he was about to call out a warning, Chen Yu's body vanished like lightning, reappearing with the frail man now pinned under his foot, and the man's spike reduced to powder.

Hou Jianchang breathed a sigh of relief, and as he was about to step forward to comfort Chen Yu, he noticed Chen Yu's eyes were filled with a murderous intent.

"Old Hou, stay back, don't come any closer."

Hou Jianchang's eyes widened in bewilderment. What did this mean?

The next moment, six more individuals charged out of the crowd, each holding bizarrely shaped weapons, all aiming for Chen Yu.

The scene descended into chaos instantly, with the once bustling passersby now screaming, and the security personnel on patrol quickly surrounding the area.

Chen Yu didn't care for any of that. He placed his fingertips on the ground and a blue-white glow flickered, causing those people to collapse onto the ground.

After several upgrades, the system had significantly increased the intensity of the electric current it released. It wasn't just a matter of these few people; even a few hundred more would be stunned at the same time.

Unexpectedly, however, a young man who looked to be in his twenties was not afraid of the current at all. His body slowed down only slightly before he continued to charge forward.

Chen Yu frowned. Were there really people in this world immune to electric current?

Without giving it much thought, he rushed forward, grabbed the stick in the man's hand, and jabbed his other hand into the man's neck.

The powerful force deformed the man's body, leaving him collapsed on the ground.

Only then did Chen Yu breathe a sigh of relief, squatting beside the man, holding his neck.

"Who are you?"

The man glared fiercely at Chen Yu, remaining silent.

The next moment, black blood gushed out of his mouth; the man had hidden poison in his mouth.

But this poison didn't seem lethal, only rendering him mute.

Fury flooding him, Chen Yu was about to grab another person for questioning when the man took out a letter and stuffed it into his hand.

The letter was exquisitely made, even the envelope was metallic with gilded edges.

Chen Yu's brow furrowed, and he immediately took out the letter, finding it to be an invitation to travel to Dongming Canyon.

Attached to the letter was a map marking the location of the canyon.
