Chapter 1423: Chapter 1422: Another Expert at Arguing

Gong Chenli was about to flip the table: "..." That brat, can he just stop talking already, playing dumb when he knows everything—what’s the point!

He clearly knew it was all about using someone else to do his dirty work, yet he still exposed and mocked him, making him want to punch someone!

Xia Xi: "..." Gu Tong’s teaching is excellent, yet another squabble expert is about to be born.

Gong Chenli rolled his eyes and said: "You’re doing this on purpose! You obviously want to know about the Luo Family, but you’re going around in circles just to send me some favors, all because your wife has led you astray!"

Li Yan was unmoved, his thin lips parted: "Thanks for the compliment."

Gong Chenli: "..." Damn, I wasn’t complimenting you.

Xia Xi: "..." Which eye did he use to see the Demon King complimenting someone.

Li Yan took a turn and drove on the straight road, saying: "I just learned about the Luo Family’s situation. I heard that this Luo Wenguang owns several sizable night clubs, they’re chains, and there’s even a casino located in Shoucheng. They’ve been expanding in recent years. So I thought of my uncle’s Wancheng, could there be business competition?"

Wancheng, one of Gong Chenli’s businesses.

It’s essentially the Underground Mall in Shoucheng, where the spending is vast and definitely the first choice for many elite heirs to entertain themselves.

Gong Chenli also knows how to do business; he utilizes family connections who cozy up to him to expand Wancheng’s influence. Over the years, business has been booming, and the monthly revenue is no small sum.

Considering this, Luo Wenguang’s business indeed conflicts with Gong Chenli’s!

Conflict, for sure, yet Gong Chenli scoffed at it, saying: "Luo Wenguang is a person from a branch of the Luo Family. He has some money, thinking of making it big, expanding from small to large imitating Wancheng. If we’re talking about building something from scratch, he’s a decent master, but he only has petty schemes, lacks great wisdom, short-sighted, insignificant!"

Li Yan raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled: "Oh?"

"If he had great wisdom, would he be under your watch?" Gong Chenli raised his hand, pointed to the coffee on the table, signaled Xia Xi to bring it over, and continued: "Wancheng looks dirty but is actually clean, Luo Wenguang’s Shuangheshen looks dirty and is even dirtier, that’s the difference."

Gong Chenli is a smart person, he understands what to do and what not to do. Expanding Wancheng’s shady business can indeed make substantial money, but it’s not a long-term plan. So over the years, he has been skirting the edges but never stepping in.

As for Luo Wenguang, he’s entirely different; he belongs to a category fully stepping into it, sinking in the mud, unwilling to move a bit.

This is the difference between them.

So, at first glance, Luo Wenguang indeed seems to be a competitor, but in reality, he’s insignificant. Gong Chenli doesn’t care much, because he knows Luo Wenguang is bound to destroy himself someday without needing to intervene personally.

Back when investigating Gong Chenli, Li Yan already had some understanding of Wancheng.

The so-called gray area, black business, Gong Chenli has always used others, with no intention to participate.

Take, for instance, the initial deployment of Gu Tong to the Underground Mall, on the surface it seemed Gong Chenli had immense power over the Underground Mall to the point of controlling the whole scene, but at the time, his real role was that of a buyer; the difference between buying and selling is significant, altering fate with just a word.

Li Yan understood why Gong Chenli remained standing tall in Shoucheng, there’s definitely a reason for it, so he wasn’t surprised.
