"Dear, do you know that you get a lot more handsome when you work seriously like that? I like it." She went on with her flattery.

Xue Jinxu was lying on her stomach on their bed, her legs folding alternately while her chin rested on her arms crossed in front of her. She was watching Chen Linyun admiringly who was seated on the couch across, working with his laptop.

It was quite random and unexpected, and so Chen Linyun was taken aback. His neutral stoic face blushed so suddenly. His hand touched the lower rim of his glasses, covering half of his face in the process.

*Ehem* *Ehem* "Hey, Jinxu, can you be more subtle in your attacks? I'm so helpless in front of you."

The lady laughed. "What? What did I do? I'm just telling the truth." She stood up only to cuddle with him on the couch. She inserted herself between Chen Linyun and the laptop. She rested her head on Chen Linyun's lap while the rest of her body lied down on the couch.

"What are you doing?" She inquired. She saw graphs on the laptop screen. It wasn't anything extraordinary except she saw 'Shi Corporation'. She sat properly while scrutinizing her husband. "Hey, Chen Linyun, what are you planning to do? You can tell me."

He slightly pinched her left cheek with his index and middle finger. "I had been acquiring the loose shares of Shi Corporation. I had been able to get 8% already. It's not much, but it will surely help us in the future."

"And then? What are you planning to do?" She probed deeper.

"The goal is to make Shi Fan Hai answer to the law. We already have two evidences against Shi Fan Hai – his voice recording admitting to his deeds and the vlogger's video clip of the Captain giving instructions to the crew of The Great Adventurer. However, the Captain is still missing. The previous Marketing Director and his niece were missing as well. We need witnesses and other evidence if we want to pin him down. That's was why I entered the Ministry of Intelligence and Surveilance – to gain more information. I already have with me copies of his family's information. There's something I cannot pinpoint about him."

"On the business level, we need to infiltrate their company by acquiring the shares, and more if possible. We need power to turn the tables."

"You've been doing a lot for me again, huh? Without my knowledge?" Xue Jinxu squinted her eyes.

Chen Linyun pursed his lips and turned his gaze elsewhere. Xue Jinxu was correct. He had been doing a lot on his own. "You can say that." He admitted.

She sighed. "Please let me into your head. I have the right to know. Please let me know your plans, mhmm? We're a team now, okay?"

He wrapped his arm around her and squeezed her arm to console her. "Sorry dear. Alright."

"That being said, there's also one thing that I have been doing. I have been acquiring the loose shares of Xue Shipping. I had been able to get the 7% loose shares. I wanted to at least return the shares that you were stripped off." He came clean. 'I want to return to you what you have lost because of me.' He clenched his fist.


Xue Shipping's shares were distributed as follows: 25% under Grandfather Xue, 20 % under Father Xue, 10% - Xue Minhe, 10% - Xue Jinxu, 10% Xue Guangxi, 15% - external shareholders, 10% loose shares.

After stripping off her shares, the 10% that's supposedly under her name were returned to Grampa Xue making his share 35%. In actual truth, Xue Minhe's share was under Father Xue but they maintained it as is as part of the show. Therefore effectively, 70% of Xue Shipping shares were owned by the Xue Family.

Xue Jinxu's heart momentarily jumped out of her chest. "Chen Linyun! You don't have to…" She was quite moved by him. He wanted to return to her her lost glory. She wrapped her arms around her neck. "I'm satisfied with my life with you. I'm not asking for anything more."

The Chen couple had been married for almost five months now. It was currently November. They were married in June. During this time, they had been sharing a peaceful and prosperous time together, building their own empire.

Chen Linyun's business had been growing exponentially. Word of mouth about it spread like wildfire, and had become the fastest growing investment platform in Country D. Originally the target market was majority of civilians but corporations had also been quite interested in investing into the platforms, and had been encouraging their employees to invest. The promised returns were reached, and in some instances, even exceeded it.

In this light, Chen Holdings had received acknowledgements and different awards both in China and in Country D. His company bagged the top spots for the 'Most Promising Business' award, the 'Fastest Growing in Emerging Markets' award, and the 'Breakthrough' award. The nation's government had also acknowledged his efforts in bringing in foreign investors into the country which had boosted the growth of the Agricultural sector, and the overall economy of the country. Both governments in Country D and the nation had been quite in the talks for better collaborations in the future. It all started with Chen Linyun's business.

The Chen couple had even been constantly invited to several formal gatherings and business functions. Xue Jinxu had always stood beside her husband, the man of the hour, Chen Linyun. She was extremely proud of him.

And so, currently, he had the funds, connections, and proper representations to buy shares of other companies. That was what he had been doing when Xue Jinxu checked on him. His two main targets were Xue Shipping and Shi Corporation.

Aside from these two main companies, he had been acquiring the shares of big and growing companies in other sectors such as in the food, textile, IT and semiconductor. He had acquired as much as 51% of the shares. His second goal is to be able to ride on in the growth of these identified companies with high potential, having a say on decision-making, but without the obligation of managing the business.

"Actually there's one more thing." Chen Linyun closed his laptop.

"I have a surprise for you. Get dressed. I'll wait for you at the carpark." Chen Linyun said then went out of the front door.
