Early the next morning, Su Chen hurried home.

“Chenchen? What are you doing here? Come on, come on in.”

Wen Xia opened the door with her pajamas on and saw her son standing outside. She was slightly stunned, then she smiled and pulled him into the house.

Her smile seemed forced in Su Chen’s eyes, she looked a little dull, and her eyes were dark. It was obvious she had not rested well.

“I don’t have any classes today, so I came back home to pay a visit. Where’s Dad?”

Su Chen did not rush and ask what had happened.

“Your father is still sleeping. He went to bed late last night. I was going to get some breakfast.” Wen Xia stared at him with her sparkling eyes.

“I’ll make breakfast,” said Su Chen with a smile.

“Good boy.”

Wen Xia held her face and rubbed it. “I’ll go upstairs and wake your father.” She smiled.

Su Chen rolled his eyes and took her hands away from her face. Then he went straight to the kitchen.

Wen Xia’s smile faded, and Su Chen thoughtfully looked at her back. Then she walked upstairs, went to the bedroom, and pushed Su Wenshan, who was still sleeping, “Darling, wake up!”

“What’s the matter?” Su Wenshan woke and asked sleepily.

“Chenchen is back. He is making breakfast downstairs.” Wen Xia’s face was serious.

“What is he doing, coming back so early? Today is not a weekend,” wondered Su Wenshan.

“It must be that girl. Momo must have seen something and told him.”

Wen Xia guessed accurately. After all, these were her children. She could easily see through what they thought.

“Those two really know how to worry too much.” Su Wenshan rubbed his brows with a wry smile and went to the bathroom.

“The children are worried, too.”

Wen Xia followed him as she frowned. “Darling, who do you think is targeting us? Chaoyang Media does not have such ability.”

She continued. “Every aspect of our company has been suppressed. All the projects have been forced to terminate. Everyone is panicked. We cannot let things go on this way.”

“I don’t know what is going on now. So, I’m going to find out more about it with some of my old friends today.” Sadness clouded Su Wenshan’s face.

He didn’t know what was going on. The company suffered a serious all-round blow. It seemed that misfortunes never come alone.

More importantly, they had no idea who was behind the scenes and why they were targeting their company. They had nowhere to go for help.

These days Su Wenshan looked for connections and asked around, but it was useless.

His old business friends were all hiding something and not daring to speak out, except for a cryptic reminder to ask him if he had recently gotten in trouble with any big shots.

Su Wenshan was even more puzzled.

“Su Chen, what you make is the most delicious.”

Wen Xia ate her breakfast with a smile on her face as if everything was going along as usual.

“Little Chen, why did you come back so suddenly today?” asked Su Wenshan casually.

“The matter is like this.” Su Chen put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, “Dad, aren’t you worried about the novel? I wrote one on a similar theme recently. Do you want to take a look?”

“Oh?” Both the husband and wife looked at their son with surprise.

Was that why he came back?

But how could a good book be written in such a short time?

“All right, show me.” Su Wenshan smiled and nodded. Although he felt it was impossible, he did not want to dampen his son’s enthusiasm.

Su Chen took Su Wenshan’s computer, inserted the disk, and then opened the document. He placed it in front of Su Wenshan and said as he smiled, “Take a look.”

“‘Drawing Sword’! The title is not bad!”

Su Wenshan smiled and praised his son, then continued reading as he ate his breakfast.

Soon, the story caught Su Wenshan’s attention. He put down his chopsticks and completely immersed himself in it. His facial expressions changed according to the shifts in the storyline.

“How is the book Chenchen wrote?” asked Wen Xia curiously when she saw the expressions on his face.

“Good, good book!” Su Wenshan shouted excitedly. He was temporarily interrupted by his continued reading. He looked at Su Chen excitedly. “Did you write this?”

“It can’t be true enough.” Su Chen smiled and nodded.

“Although I read only a little, I can already see that this is a good book. It is as good as the soldier’s attack. I did not think that Su Chen had such talent.” Su Wenshan glanced at his son with a complicated look.

Since Su Chen had changed his lazy character, he had reformed a little too fast. Su Wenshan could not keep up with the improvements.

“Chenchen you are really good—worthy of being my son.” Wen Xia smiled and gave a thumbs-up.

“It’s good that you think so, Dad.” Su Chen smiled and nodded. “Are you going to the company later? Take me along to have a look. By the way, I have not been there for several years.”

Both of them were stunned when they heard this.

“Chenchen, why do you want to go to the company? The weather is hot, and there is no one to keep you company. Why don’t you stay at home or go back to school?” said Wen Xia with an unnatural smile.

“Right, right. The company is very busy now. Why do you have to go?” Su Wenshan nodded hastily.

“Dad, Mom, I know the company is in trouble. It might have something to do with me,” said Su Chen solemnly.

He knew that Zhao Tai would not let him go so easily, even though nothing had happened these past few days. He had guessed that the problem might be Zhao Tai and Shen Tianze getting revenge on him.

“What’s the matter?” asked Su Wenshan at once.

Su Chen told everything to them.

“I see. I wondered what had happened. The Shen family and Zhao family are the two families that have the best reputations in the Magic City’s business circle. This time we are really in trouble.”

Su Wenshan frowned and worried that it was more serious than he had imagined.

Su Wenshan was a success and had millions in wealth. However, he was nothing in the most developed city, Magic City. He was not even qualified to be in the highest circle.

Both the Shen family and the Zhao family were giants compared to Chentian Media Culture Company. They were not even of the same magnitude.

“Chenchen, you did well. How can a man let his woman be bullied? But then, Chenchen, did you meet a girlfriend? When was that? What is the girl’s name? Do you have any photos? Show Mom some.”

Wen Xia’s focus was completely on a different aspect. She was more concerned about his girlfriend and asked question after question in her excitement.

Su Chen was speechless and smiled wryly. He’d spilled the beans.

“Dear, you missed the point.” Su Wenshan looked at his wife with a wry smile.

“You are the one who missed the point. Isn’t it more important that our son has a girlfriend? The company is not a big deal. We can start one over again,” Wen Xia answered.

Su Wenshan clapped his hand to his forehead and looked worried.

“Dad, I caused this. Trust me. I’ll take care of it,” assured Su Chen with a solemn expression.

Su Wenshan looked up at him and shook his head helplessly as he said, “This is a business matter. What can you do? If these two families do not let us go, we have no other choice.”
