Chapter 326 - Chapter 326: Chapter 326 Net Worth Doubled (2/2)
Brown was also breathing heavily, of course he was aware of the risks involved, but he had no other choice at this point.
During the conversation, a violent shaking sound suddenly erupted, followed by the entire private train careening off the track, crashing hard against the tunnel wall.
From a distance, on top of the high mountain, Chen Yu stood there, watching the explosion unfold with a cold indifference.
Ling Ling was perched on his shoulder, her body flickering with alternating blue and white lights.
[As per the original plan, the train derailed and exploded, leading to the demise of all the Edward Family’s leaders and senior executives]
Chen Yu remained silent; according to the original plan, he only had to figure out a way to derail the train, and leave the rest to the assassins of William’s and Charlie’s families.
It was only after seeing a swarm of men in black rushing towards the tunnel that Chen Yu turned to leave.
The very next morning, the headlines of major media outlets were dominated by the news of the Edward Family’s tragedy, and some even sensationalized the story with added embellishments.
With that, the business circles of Europe were thrown into complete chaos.
All sorts of comments flooded in, but were swiftly suppressed by the media controlled by William’s family.
Furthermore, the Edward Family’s recent severe assaults on European finance and industry had made them widely despised and condemned.
Consequently, the public furor quickly subsided.
Forces and small-to-medium enterprises that were originally aligned with the Edward Family defected one after another, flocking to Charlie’s and William’s families.
Some were outright roped in by the Tong and Chu Families to serve as their footholds in the West.
However, there were also some who were obstinate and were financially stripped clean by Chen Yu’s maneuvers.
It wasn’t until the Edward Family’s leftover power and assets were completely divided and reshuffled that Chen Yu finally released Fang Yuan.
However, when she appeared before the media, she was portrayed as a patient lying on a bed, bandaged and barely clinging to life.
Under the media’s portrayal, she became the sole survivor of the private train collision disaster.
Legally, Fang Yuan naturally became the sole heir to the Edward Family’s fortune.
Humanely, she earned the respect of the entire West.
After all, in the public’s eyes, she had established her image as sharing life and death with the Edward Family.
This fitted the Western notion of a female hero.
Those remaining from the Edward Family unanimously regarded her as their leader, gathering outside the hospital shouting for Fang Yuan to step forward and lead them.
All secret contracts that had been previously signed came into effect at this moment.
Over the next month, following the script, Fang Yuan became a strong female figure fighting for the Edward Family’s interests.
Through her wide-ranging coordination, she recovered most of the Edward Family’s former assets.
Leading the remnants of the Edward Family, she stood on equal ground with William’s and Charlie’s families, firmly cementing their position.
As for the future, prioritizing the big picture and turning conflict into alliance were roles Fang Yuan would slowly take control of.
It wasn’t until everything settled that Chen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though he, as the puppet master behind the scenes, did not make many appearances this time, he secured the greatest benefits.
Not only did he facilitate the influx of a massive amount of capital from the East into the West, but he also increased his personal fortune tenfold, reaching over thirty billion!
