Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Remarrying Again

The scene suddenly became abuzz, with all eyes focused on the auction stage.

No one had ever thought that the white jade Guanyin offered by the Zhao Family was fake.

After all, they were a super-elite family from the imperial capital; for whatever reason, their status would plummet after this auction.

Zhao Hai's face darkened, his gaze poisonous as he stared deathly at Chen Yu. By now, there was nothing he could do but have the white jade Guanyin removed from the premises.

The host hurriedly tried to smooth things over onstage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what just occurred was merely an accident. Our investigation indicates that this white jade Guanyin might have been the work of a master forger. As such, it wasn't detected immediately, and we ask for your understanding!"

After sincerely explaining, the host had several treasures brought up onto the stage.

This time it seemed the Zhao Family was desperate; the eight treasures they presented were all of high grade and authentically aged.

The moment they were displayed, everyone became excited and quickly forgot about the white jade Guanyin.

While the crowd was busy bidding, Chen Yu had already left the venue quietly, and the long case he had left there was now nowhere to be seen.

"Attention, all aboard! You are now surrounded. Exit the cabin immediately!"

The sudden shout startled everyone in the cabin.

"What's going on? We're in international waters; how can someone just surround us for no reason?"

"Could it be that there's something illicit hidden aboard?"

...

While everyone was buzzing with speculation, Zhou Shengtao, accompanied by a large number of officials, stormed into the cabin and seized all the treasures that were being auctioned.

Just moments before, Chen Yu had already handed over the scepter to Zhou Shengtao.

After verifying its authenticity, Zhou Shengtao immediately convicted the Zhao Family and boarded the ship with his team.

Zhao Hai didn't know who had it in for him until the moment he was apprehended.

However, because of the white jade Guanyin incident, Zhao Hai bore a grudge against Chen Yu from then on.

After the entire cruise ship was seized, the guests who had come for the banquet started to leave.

Most of them had diplomatic immunity, so Zhou Shengtao couldn't really do much to them, besides, they were only invited to attend the banquet.

Arresting them could have affected international relations.

Nonetheless, these people didn't go far; after circling around, they approached the vessel where Chen Yu was.

When leaving, they specifically left a small yacht for Chen Yu's family to return to land.

"Mr. Chen, why did you leave so quickly? I still have something to discuss with you!"

Katherine chased after him in a speedboat, hurrying along.

Chen Yu frowned slightly, "Is there some kind of emergency?"

Katherine smiled sheepishly and then pulled out an invitation from her person.

"Mr. Chen, the last shipment you sent to William's family was very well received; Victor has asked me to inquire if you could possibly develop some new products based on that shipment. William's family would be willing to purchase the entire order!"

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised. The ready-to-eat dishes and semi-finished products he made were almost all Chinese cuisine. He had originally thought that these items wouldn't take off in the Western world, but to his surprise, they were actually very popular.

"Many new products are still in development, and it will take at least two months for delivery. However, Western eating habits seem to be different from the East, so why are these dishes..."

Katherine hastily took out several photos from her person.

They were all photos of the fast-food cooking packs that Chen Yu had developed.

"Actually, Chinese cuisine has always been very popular in the West, but because Western eating habits and cooking methods are different, few people have managed to learn how to cook Chinese food. Now, with these cooking packs, cooking has become simple, setting off a trend in the West! All the products are in short supply."

Chen Yu immediately became excited, as this could be seen as opening up a market in the Western world.

"Well then, I'll consider increasing our presence there!"

He directly opened the invitation in his hands and discovered it was actually a wedding invitation, and the bridegroom was none other than Victor.

Looking at the bride marrying Victor, she was indeed just a little over twenty years old.

Chen Yu's head was filled with black lines. Although it wasn't uncommon for wealthy families to marry young wives, this woman was a full fifty years younger than Victor!

"Is Mr. Victor really getting married?" Chen Yu asked in disbelief.

Katherine also embarrassingly laughed twice, "Mr. Victor's wife passed away ten years ago, and he hasn't remarried since. Ever since he started using the medicine you provided, the old gentleman feels like he has become decades younger, so..."

Chen Yu instantly understood. The prescription he had designed for Victor not only improved his body's cell circulation but also allowed his physical state to return to how it was thirty years ago.

No wonder Victor was getting married and had specifically asked Katherine to deliver an invitation to him.

Chen Yu didn't say much more, just put the invitation away, and casually pulled Katherine onto the boat.

Looking at the situation, she must have stolen a speedboat from the Zhao Family's yacht to chase after him.

And the fuel in the speedboat was nearly depleted; he couldn't let her drift at sea.

The news of the Zhao Family's failed offshore auction quickly spread across the entire world.

Even the news media in Suzhou City were vying to report it.

Seated in his office, Tong Ming looked at the newspaper in front of him and burst into loud laughter.

"The Zhao Family has really taken a fall this time. Not only was their auction ruined, but they have also offended the Edward Family. It won't be long before the Zhao Family's overseas businesses are completely stripped away, and even their businesses in the imperial capital will be divvied up by other super-families!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the board members present immediately understood Tong Ming's intentions.

"Back when the Zhao Family was expanding limitlessly in the imperial capital, they directly confronted our Tong Group. Now is our chance for revenge. In my opinion, we should take over the real estate part of their business!"

"Just the real estate isn't enough. Over the years, the Zhao Family has collected numerous treasures from all over the world, many of which are said to be hidden in their old mansion. Moreover, many of these hidden items are illicit, so why don't we report them? Who knows, we might be able to pick up some spoils!"

...

As everyone was discussing, Tong Ming suddenly stood up.

"You all think too small. Immediately notify the financial department to manipulate the Zhao Family's stock, and when the time is right, commence a full acquisition of all the enterprises under the Zhao banner!"

This remark caught everyone by surprise; they had not expected Tong Ming to be so ambitious.

Before they could even react, Tong Ming had already called the financial department to have them come up with a plan as soon as possible.
