My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots Novel - Chapter 861
Chapter 861: Dark Horse
“So… I don’t have anywhere else to go. When the time comes, you’ll have to take your pitiful wife in, Big Brother Chi Yang!”
It was obviously a joke, but it made Chi Yang’s heart ache.
“Nuannuan, I’m your family. My home is your home.”
Nuannuan smiled and nodded. “Yes. I’ve already treated your Grandpa as my own.”
“Mmhmm.”
The next day, Zhong Nuannuan and the old master boarded the plane, accompanied by Chi Yang.
As they encountered assassins before, Zhong Nuannuan, the old master, and his eight personal bodyguards returned to Emperor District on a private flight.
The Chi residence was housed in an oriental-style villa in Emperor District. Meanwhile, located next to the Chi residence was the Forbidden City.
Such a villa was invaluable in the Emperor District. Additionally, the villas in the area were all populated by the most powerful families in Camino.
The combination of the land area and location of the villa made it impossible for just about anyone to purchase. The people who lived here not only had to be rich, but they also had to be powerful people with a great reputation.
The head of the Chi family and Emperor District’s Four Dominant Families all lived in the villas in this area.
The Chi family was never included in the ranking of the Four Dominant Families. Yet, its status far surpassed them.
Due to the old master, the Chi family was currently the most powerful in the entire Camino. This was because the current military officers, including the president, had all grown up with the old master.
One could only imagine how supreme the old master’s status in Camino was.
There were very few people in the Chi family. Other than Chi Yang, his biological grandson, the only other member of the family was Chi Yang’s younger uncle, Chi Zehan.
The old master had two sons. One was Chi Zehao, Chi Yang’s father. The other was Chi Zehan, but he was abducted by the enemy when he was young. Chi Yang’s father died during the war, leaving only the old master and Chi Yang in the Chi family.
The old master felt extremely lonely.
After that, before Chi Yang reached adulthood, the old master picked up a homeless man from the streets who had lost his memories. The old master felt that he was very similar to his long-lost son, so he took him in and gave him the name of his youngest son. The old master named him Chi Zehan out of the longing for his youngest son, the Chi family’s second uncle.
Some people suspected that Second Uncle was actually Old Master Chi’s son. There were even some detestable people who secretly sent Second Uncle’s DNA for a test. However, they discovered that Old Master Chi’s DNA and Second Master Chi’s DNA were completely incompatible. They were not even remotely related.
Eventually, his second uncle, Chi Zehan, shocked the world with a single brilliant feat. In slightly more than ten years, he took advantage of Old Master Chi’s connections and built a huge business empire.
Six years later, when the Four Dominant Families were at each other’s throats with the threat of a total fallout, they suddenly realized that the boss behind Shengyang Group, which had suddenly risen to power, was the Chi family’s second master, Chi Zehan.
Not only that, the corporations belonging to each of the Four Dominant Families had a mysterious shareholder, and this shareholder was none other than Chi Zehan.
If Nuannuan had not been reborn, never would she have guessed the identity of the man who spent his days tending to the plants at home and took the old master out of the house when he had nothing to do. He was not in good health either. The Second Master, who was often called a yandere [1]by others, was actually the ultimate dark horse among the Four Dominant Families and a business magnate.
[1] A portmanteau of two Japanese words, a yandere is often sweet, caring, and innocent before switching into someone who displays an extreme, often violent or psychotic, level of devotion to a love interest.
