Chapter 378: Chapter 378 The Luo Family’s Scandals_1

Zhou Chengyu nodded and said, "He will come. He originally didn’t want to, but when I mentioned that you would be there, he wanted to meet you to express his gratitude for taking our family’s investment company on board the investment. Living in Hai City, he has never had the chance to thank you in person, and he feels quite remiss about it."

Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "Your dad is too polite; this is a partnership with mutual benefits. No need for thanks."

Refusing to be outdone, Wang Xiaocong said, "Shen Dong, my dad also said he wants to meet you to express his gratitude."

Even Wan Pengfei added, "Shen Dong, it’s true. My dad also wants to thank you in person. But because of his identity, it’s not very convenient for him. Otherwise, he definitely would want to thank you face-to-face."

His dad was a government official, and since his family had participated in some projects led by Shen Dong, it wasn’t quite appropriate for his dad to meet Shen Dong, to avoid being exploited by those with ulterior motives.

Su Qingyu followed suit, saying, "My dad feels the same."

Shen Dong looked at them all and said with a wry smile, "Your fathers, why are they all so courteous."

Chen Yuyan asked Su Qingyu, "Qingyu, will your dad also come?"

Su Qingyu nodded and replied, "My dad’s reason is the same as Zhou Chengyu’s."

As they were talking, it was time to board the ship, and they lined up to board.

A few minutes later, everyone left the café and boarded the ship.

"This Crown Number really is luxurious."

After boarding, Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan looked around curiously.

Out of the group, only the two of them had never been on the Crown Number before.

Even Li Kaiyao had been on it before.

Li Kaiyao, who had once been in the car beauty business, was a billionaire, so taking a cruise like this was no problem for him.

For this live broadcast, he had even brought two people specifically for filming.

They were from the company and had already met up with him.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan had arrived earlier when those people were not yet there.

But they had arrived before the boarding commenced.

Both members of the company’s filming team were thrilled about the opportunity to board the Crown Number and head to Dragon Scale Island.

After all, the ticket to set foot on Dragon Scale Island costs a million.

They wouldn’t even dare dream of it.

This might be their only chance in a lifetime.

Afterwards, everyone headed to their own rooms to set down their luggage and rest a bit before going up to the deck to see the sea.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan entered their room.

Shen Dong didn’t rest, but instead took out his laptop to look up some information.

First on the list was Loo Xingchen.

Loo Xingchen had some notorious records at home, but not many.

After all, Loo Xingchen seldom stayed in the country.

At most, he would visit entertainment venues and splurge on beautiful women.

Since it was consensual, there wasn’t much to say about it.

Loo Xingchen had more scandals overseas.

The guy literally indulged in eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling—you name it, and he was also part of a group that consumed marijuana.

This group held a party every month to revel to their heart’s content.

Such behavior is definitely very serious at home.

Among college students overseas, it’s not uncommon; marijuana is legal there, so it’s not a problem.

But when back in the country, Loo Xingchen still smoked marijuana.

This guy, when he was having a blast in entertainment venues, didn’t care much; he needed to smoke weed.

Besides that, there was another explosive reveal.

This guy went crazy with women overseas.

Last year, he actually went to Tai Country and had an experience with a transgender individual.

He enjoyed being both the active and passive partner, even recorded a video, occasionally took it out to admire, and encouraged some friends to try it, claiming it was exceptionally thrilling.

Shen Dong silently fast-forwarded through the video, which was quite an eyeful.

There was no helping it; Chen Yuyan was sitting opposite him playing with her phone, so he couldn’t possibly watch with the sound on.

After watching it, he silently sent the video to his cell phone.

"This video can be used against Loo Xingchen."

Afterward, Shen Dong looked into the family background of Loo Xingchen.

This time, he found even more damning information.

Baye Group was able to grow and become one of Dragon Country’s major conglomerates by employing ruthless and brutal tactics.

The precursor to Baye Group was a debt collection company named Wangba Company, founded by Loo Xingchen’s father, Loo Haipeng.

Loo Haipeng came from a gangster background and was incredibly ruthless.

Within half a year of being a thug, he broke the legs of the gang leader and took his place.

Later, as the domestic crackdown on gangs intensified, Loo Haipeng shifted gears.

Unlike many who switched to opening entertainment clubs or investing in real estate, he got into the debt collection business.

He thought it was a relatively simple line of work; all he had to do was help people recover their debts.

After all, he had an advantage with a crew of twenty to thirty thugs to do his bidding.

At first, it was extremely difficult.

After all, in any industry, there are competitors.

For newcomers, it’s not easy to secure a foothold.

Through a friend’s introduction, using violent methods, he helped a big boss recover five million in goods debt and managed to get the money back.

Later, more and more people approached him for help with debt recovery.

Even banks sought his cooperation, and his business grew larger and his network broader.

Seizing the opportunity, he ventured into other industries and was very successful.

As his business grew larger, he established Baye Group and developed it to its current state.

He himself even became the ninth richest person in Dragon Country.

For Baye Group, tax evasion was just a normal operation.

But with connections, no one came to investigate, and everything remained peaceful.

Compared to other issues, this was a minor one.

The actions of the restaurant company under Baye Group were truly shocking.

Most of the raw materials used were of the lowest quality.

For instance, in making sausages, they used rotten meat treated with various chemicals to remove the stench before processing.

Many expired foods would be recycled and remade.

Some were donated to remote mountainous areas.

For this, he even garnered a reputation for charity.

In matters crucial to the company’s future, when competing with others, if he couldn’t outcompete them, he would have his men arrange various "accidents" to deal with the competitors.

His rise to power was indeed marked by bloodshed.

Loo Xingzhou, Loo Haipeng’s eldest son, completely inherited his father’s ruthless character.

For critical projects facing competitors, if they could be outcompeted, it would end there; but if not, dark tactics would be employed.

Causing severe injuries or even fatalities were common occurrences.

Loo Haipeng’s thug underlings were specifically used for these dirty deeds.

Loo Xingzhou’s way of dealing with things was exactly what Loo Haipeng had hoped for.

He felt that Loo Xingzhou had his own style and was fully capable of taking over the family business.

Currently, half of the company’s business was managed by Loo Xingzhou.

After a few more years, Loo Haipeng planned to retire and enjoy life, handing over the entire company to his eldest son.

As for Loo Xingchen’s mother, Tao Huimei, she owned a wellness spa.

On the surface, the spa was for health reasons, but in reality, it was a front for mingling with rich wives to help some illegitimate wealthy individuals launder money.

Loo Haipeng’s family had done so many evil deeds, but of course, they had backing.

Otherwise, they would have run into trouble long ago.

Shen Dong also looked up the information on Loo Haipeng’s backers.
