Power of Money
Chapter 548

The next morning.

Jason left the Wandering Villa holiday area and drove to Linton City.

Not just him.

Including the core figures of Shen's Group such as David, Mary, Uncle Dong and Leonard, they all gave up their jobs today. After receiving the call, they immediately drove to Linjiang.

Among them, some important figures of the Chans were included.

There was only one reason.

Lawrence was dead.

The time of death. Three o'clock in the morning last night.

When he was swimming in the sea at night, he accidentally fell into the water, and his body was discovered one kilometer downstream. When he was rescued, he was dead and his body was like a drowned pig because of drowning.

"Jason, everyone feels bad about your uncle-in-law's accident. Although his son is unfaithful and unfilial, your uncle risked his life for me, your father, and the Shen family... From this point of view, if you see Leonard later, don't make trouble with him in your uncle's mourning hall. The dead is the largest, and we can deal with it when we come back. Is that okay with you?"

On the other end of the line was Mary's sobs.

Among all the Chans's relatives, the one who doted on Mary the most was Lawrence, who was also thrown out of the family in the past.

At that time, David still had nothing to do. Lawrence was afraid that his niece would suffer outside with this rascal, so he decided to give up his position as the most popular Hall Chief at that time. He followed David from zero and gradually established the current business empire of Shen's Group. It could be said that what he did was all for his niece. Now his uncle, who loved him so much, died. How could Mary not be grief-stricken?

Jason nodded and said, "Well, I know what to do. Mom, don't be too sad."

Since the accident happened in the family, David, for the sake of Mary's safety, had always placed her in the house under the protection of his family. It was not until he heard the death of Lawrence this morning that David and David appeared in the public's vision together.

"That's good, that's good. You can drive slowly. I have already arrived with your father. Let's talk about it when we meet. I'll hang up first."

He hung up the phone.

Jason looked at the luxury cars in front of him, which were also coming from the highwayway south of Nandu in Nandu, and sighed deeply.

Yesterday afternoon, he had just met Lawrence, but he was drowned to death that night...

For some reason, Jason felt a sense of foreboding at this moment.

He seemed to have a feeling that there was a storm waiting for him in the Riverside City at the moment. Whether he could get through the storm or not, it all depended on God's will... More than 300 kilometers of distance, under the full speed acceleration of Bentley, was quickly shortened.

When Jason turned the car to the entrance of the Lakeside Villa garden, he looked around. In front of the big villa's gate, there were already waves of bracelets sent by people from all over the world. Yellow paper money was flying in the air, and the descendant of Lawrence, who wore mourning clothes, was standing at the door, greeting the guests who came to mourn with a sad face... It was a silent place. Guided by the security guard, Jason pulled over the car.

After getting off the car, a servant of the Chans wearing a white cloth on her waist immediately came forward and bowed respectfully in front of Jason and said, "Mr. Qin, Chief Shen and his wife have been waiting for you in the room for a long time. Now come with me."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Jason nodded and motioned for the other party to lead the way.

Along the way, Jason saw a lot of familiar faces here.

However, most of them were from the Chans.

From the way they had gathered together and their conversation, Lawrence's death had not brought too much of a stir to these the Chans members.

After all, Lawrence had been kicked out by the Chans' grandmother when he was young. They had met again after a few decades, and the old friends were separated by the heaven and the earth. In addition to sighing about the vicissitudes of life, everyone also took this opportunity to make contact with relatives and friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

"Master Qin, Master Shen and the woman are waiting for you on the second floor. Please do as you please. If you need anything, call me at any time."

The servant took Jason to the lower part of the tube-shaped apartment on the second floor. Jason had been here before, so he nodded and walked to the second floor.

"Dad, Mom."

Jason saw David, who was sitting at the edge of the attic wiping his mother's tears. At that time, all sorts of feelings welled up in his heart, and he strode over.

Upon hearing the voice, David and his wife raised their heads together. When they saw that it was Jason, Mary immediately stood up excitedly, opened her arms, and held Jason in her arms.

"Jason, you are finally back. Mom thought that I would never see you again..."

The sad tears of Mary moved Jason.

From the moment when the mother and son had recognized each other a few months ago, Mary had been itching to give everything she could give to him.

This time, the Shen family encountered such a great disaster and the mother and the child were not allowed to meet each other. Even if David didn't tell him, Jason could still feel that this mother and the child were so close, which caused the miss and sleepless night.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't cry. If you cry again, you'll hurt yourself..." Jason comforted her softly.

David stood aside. Although he did not speak, judging from his slightly trembling lips, at this moment, the mood of the man, who was the leader of the business empire, was not very calm.

"Alright, alright. There are so many people outside. Today, they are here to hang your uncle up. It is not good for us to let others see us..."

David sighed softly. After the mother and son separated, he looked at Jason and asked, "Jason, are you alone here today?"

Jason nodded and said, "Well, I'm the only one."

"One person?"

David frowned and asked, "Phoebe didn't come?"

Jason was also confused. "No, she didn't contact me. I didn't know she wanted to come."

"Oh, maybe I remember wrongly. It's okay, help your mother sit down first. It's really unexpected that something happened to Lawrence. I said that I would come to see him myself after I was done these days, but I didn't expect that the affairs of the world were unpredictable. The Lawrence who had been in the river for his whole life would die in the river..."

David sighed. The family of three sat in the porch. On the open space not far from downstairs, there was a mourning hall just built. The coffin for Lawrence's body was placed inside. Sad music lingered in the ears, mixed with faint sobs.

"Mom, when did you get a call? What did they say on the phone?"

Jason asked at the same time as he took out a piece of tissue to wipe away the tears on Mary's face.

"Just a moment earlier than you. It's your uncle's butler. He called your dad personally. Tell your dad, your uncle's grandfather fell into the water last night, and he found the body when it was almost dawn. However, the person is already dead. Let's go there as soon as possible and see him on his last journey..."

Speaking of this, Mary, who had just calmed down, began to stir again. But fortunately, David interrupted her words in time and explained, "We were just the first to be informed. There are still many Shen Chen's family members on their way here, but I got a piece of news that Luther will not appear here again today. Do you know what's going on?"

"Luther didn't come to his grandfather's funeral?"

Jason was stunned. "I really don't know. I haven't seen him recently and haven't contacted him for a long time."

"It seems that the recent events in the group have greatly touched him. However, when it comes to the matter, I think this child is quite good. I hope that this matter does not affect his future development. The grudges between the older generation should not be borne by the next generation..." David sighed slightly.

Jason nodded in agreement. Although Luther was a bit exaggerated in his private life, he spent all the money he earned. He did not use a public funds. In general, he had his own opinion and principles. Unlike Leonard, who felt that the world owed him all the time, he racked his brains for his personal interests and schemed all the time.

But at this time, out of the corner of Jason's eye, he suddenly saw a group of uninvited guests appearing near the mourning hall downstairs.

He was dressed in a black suit with a white cloth belt tied to his wrist. In the clear weather, he was holding a black umbrella all the time. There were about more than 20 people in the black suit. They lined up neatly and walked towards the entrance of the mourning hall.
