Chapter 573 - 180: I’m Richer Than You
Chapter 180 [I Have More Money Than You] (6400 words)
Was it the frustration of failed pursuit?
Or that kind of "if I can’t get it, I’ll ruin it" loser mentality?
Chen Yan couldn’t be bothered to think about these things anymore.
The grudge is already there, just get revenge and be done with it! Do I really need to care about why an enemy does these disgusting things?
As for how to get revenge, there are many ways.
Breaking his legs is easy — but bones heal over time.
Chen Yan felt that wouldn’t be enough!
Crippling or killing him wasn’t something Chen Yan considered — not because he couldn’t, but because he didn’t want the trouble.
After all, Dragon Country is a society governed by law; it’s impossible to do something outrageous without it being traced back to you. But once societal relationships are involved, things get complicated.
Chen Yan dared to go to Mao Country to kill that oligarch and dared to go on a killing spree against the anti-government forces in a small Southeast Asian country, because no one could trace it back to him.
No matter who, they couldn’t link a young man named Chen Yan from Jinling Prefecture in Dragon Country with the infamous Mao Country oligarch or the anti-government forces of a small Southeast Asian country.
So, once done, it was done — nothing could touch him.
But this guy was different.
He recently had a dispute and conflict with Lu Sisi, and if he suddenly ended up crippled or dead...
According to procedure, the first step in solving any criminal injury case is for the police to check the victim’s social connections and recent enemies.
So at this point, if the guy suddenly gets ambushed and crippled, or goes missing, found at the bottom of the river, the police will immediately focus on Lu Sisi.
Sure, Chen Yan can make it so the police find no evidence.
But life isn’t some mindless feel-good novel where the police can’t do anything just because they lack evidence.
Dragon Country’s police have a rule: cases of murder must be solved! And the case won’t be closed until it’s solved!
They may not find evidence against you right away, but their focus will remain on you!
Chen Yan definitely didn’t want Lu Sisi to be watched by the police all the time.
And being ambushed is too crude — and too foolish.
Chen Yan had a better way to get revenge.
Moreover, it wasn’t just about destroying the body, but about completely destroying the person’s life.

In a high-end Binjiang District in the northern part of Jinling Prefecture.
Lu Sisi sat at her bedroom window, resting her head in her hands, staring silently at the night outside.
After finishing her detention, her father brought her straight home and also took away her phone.
Her father’s intention was to keep her at home to reflect on her actions.
It’s hard to describe the mindset of Lu Sisi’s parents after this incident.
Generally, it’s like: This child has been nothing but bad luck from childhood, disliked by everyone, and now she’s causing even more trouble?!
Lu Sisi remembers when her father came to see her at the police station after the incident, the look in his eyes was filled with...
Disgust.
Yes, it was disgust.
That look of disgust said: How many troubles and disasters have you brought to this family since you were a child! And now you’re still making trouble?!
Faced with such a look, Lu Sisi fell silent.
Initially, when something happened, she held a glimmer of hope in her heart — that kind of hope where a child wronged outside looks forward to protection and comfort from their parents when they see them.
That grievance evaporated when she saw her father’s eyes.
From the police station to detention and then being taken home by her father, Lu Sisi said nothing.
Her father’s criticism, reprimands, complaints, she remained silent, head down, seemingly compliant.
Until her father confiscated her phone and locked her at home, did Lu Sisi show any sign of resistance, but that resistance was also suppressed.
"Your mother is pregnant again, you’d better not mess around anymore! She can’t handle emotional upheaval during her pregnancy!"
Yes, pregnant again.
Lu Sisi thought for a moment, then said nothing.
Later, her father arranged for her to suspend her studies and told Lu Sisi the family’s ultimate resolution for her.
A way out like a gift.
"After suspending your studies, you should stay at home for a few months to study languages. I’ve contacted a school abroad for you; you can study there later."
The school contacted abroad is a typical kind of pay-your-way university.
This might be the family’s last charity after abandoning her.
Give you some money, go abroad to study, and it’s best if you just fend for yourself over there.
Lu Sisi even had a mocking thought: Being a jinx from a young age, bringing disaster wherever she goes, to herself, to her family.
Otherwise, the family might have arranged a marriage for her, a form of alliance.
And for a jinx, there’s not even the value of marriage; the kindest approach is to give her some money and send her away to fend for herself.
After being thoroughly disliked and abandoned by her family, Lu Sisi only felt sad for half a day before digesting the emotion.
After all, she’s already over eighteen.
Over the years, she’s been alone anyway; during holidays, her parents would take her brother to Port City for family reunions, leaving her at home.
Holidays, her parents would travel with her brother to various places.
Even the family photos from recent years only include her parents and brother.
