After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chen Yu's face was also filled with gratification, as he pulled Tong Ya's hand and leaned to sit on the sofa together.

Tuan Tuan, after all, had a foundation in dance, and with Tong Ya's instruction, her dance posture could now be considered quite accomplished.

Chen Guang and Li Lan also ran out from their room.

In this period, the couple had been worried sick, especially after learning that Chen Yu had been called away by Zhou Shengtao, they were even more scared.

Since childhood, Chen Yu had always been an incredibly honest child, and after graduating from university, he had worked steadily in a company, never having undertaken any dangerous tasks.

How could they not worry when he was suddenly summoned by Zhou Shengtao?

However, seeing Chen Yu return safe and sound now, they too were relieved.

Just then, Chen Yu's phone suddenly started ringing insistently.

He had just picked up the call when his brow furrowed involuntarily.

"There's a bit of trouble at the factory, I need to go over there!"

He said this in a rush and then hurried out the door.

The expansion of the entire factory had been completed, and what had looked like a disorderly construction site was now extremely tidy.

All the factory buildings and workshops had entered normal operations, and Hou Jianchang had also hired a large number of workers.

When Chen Yu arrived, he found a huge crowd of people standing on the empty ground of the factory, each one looking fierce, all of them carrying various types of weapons.

The man leading them was even holding a big pile of documents, looking extremely domineering.

"Hou Jianchang, I don't care who you sold this factory to, but I just have one question for you, can the debt we owed before be settled now?"

Hou Jianchang stood there, his face full of anger. By his expression, he obviously did not acknowledge any so-called debts.

Chen Yu's brow furrowed as he hurried over.

Seeing Chen Yu approaching, Hou Jianchang suddenly seemed somewhat embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I've troubled you again!"

"What exactly happened?" Chen Yu was completely in the dark. He had previously checked all of Hou Jianchang's accounts, and apart from the money he had paid off for him before, it seemed there were no other debts.

Now, how could suddenly a whole bunch of people appear, asking for their debts to be paid?

Hou Jianchang's face turned red.

"It was a contract I signed a long time ago, but I didn't notice the supplementary clause in it, which said that if my factory went bankrupt, I had to pay tenfold compensation."

Chen Yu's eyes filled with disbelief. That wasn't any supplementary clause; it was more like an extortionate demand.

Tenfold compensation was outright robbery!

[System Prompt: Many of the supplementary clauses in the contract are illegal agreements and do not need to be adhered to.]

Chen Yu was well aware of this logic, but in this world, many things happen without regard for whether you comply with regulations.

Many people are only interested in the outcome.

Moreover, the fact that they had brought so many people today suggested an attitude of if you don't give the money, you'll pay with your life.

If Hou Jianchang didn't pay up, these guys might just break his leg on the spot.

"Is there any way to amend the contract?" Chen Yu quietly asked in his mind.

Only by changing the supplementary clauses in the contract could he take control of the situation now.

[Yes, but it will cost ten points.]

Chen Yu couldn't care about that now and immediately chose to agree.

The next moment, the electronic agreement regarding the contract immediately appeared in Chen Yu's mind.

Then the clause about tenfold compensation was changed to 0.1 times.

Even the paper document the other party was holding underwent a change.

A look of worry instantaneously transformed on Chen Yu's face, "Ten times the compensation? Let's not talk about whether such a clause is compliant, I just don't believe there's anyone foolish enough to sign such an addendum."

The other party snorted coldly and directly placed the document in front of Chen Yu.

"If you don't believe it, have a look for yourself. Hou's signature and thumbprint are right there."

Chen Yu snatched the contract and quickly found the supplementary clause.

"What is this, it clearly states a single times compensation; plus, I remember when the factory went bankrupt, this money should have already been compensated to you, right?"

The person seized the contract back: "How is that possible, when we signed it clearly stated ten times...

But as soon as he saw the contract in his hands, he was stunned to see that the ten times compensation had somehow changed to just 0.1 times.

The man's breathing immediately became hurried, as he hastily pulled out his phone to flip through the electronic contract.

When he saw that the electronic contract also stated 0.1 times compensation, he suddenly started to doubt his life.

"Impossible, this can't be possible, did you tamper with the contract?"

The man directly pointed at Chen Yu, his face full of aggression.

Chen Yu frowned, "What does this have to do with me? You were the ones who signed the contract, and both the paper and electronic versions should belong to the same system; it states one times compensation on both. How could you out of the blue ask Hou for so much money, is this extortion?"

With that, the logic leaned towards Chen Yu's side, and the opposing man instantly became flustered.

But such a person wouldn't abide by any clause; he directly tossed the contract aside.

"To hell with the contract, brothers, as long as we get the money today, each of you will get a reward of a thousand!"

With that, everyone present was instantly stirred up.

These people were basically the type who hauled heavy sacks under the overpass; they could earn at most two to three hundred a day.

Now, with a thousand yuan laid out in front of them, anyone who wouldn't take it was an idiot!

A group of men readied themselves, brandishing their weapons and charging over with primeval yells.

Chen Yu didn't care about that; with justice on his side, he could kill one or two in self-defense.

His figure flashed sharply, and he rushed into the crowd, seizing a pair of baseball bats and immediately started weaving through the throng.

His body had already reached human limits, not only fast but also extremely powerful.

The sixty to seventy people before him weren't enough for him to deal with; in barely five minutes, all of them were down on the ground, wailing miserably.

Finally, only the leader stood there in shock.

"Who on earth are you?"

Chen Yu threw down the baseball bats, "I'm the new chairman of this factory. You're causing a scene here with a contract that was fulfilled a long time ago, which to me is just extortion."

With that, he immediately phoned Zhou Shengtao.

The leader instantly grew nervous and, seizing the opportunity, tried to flee.

But he'd barely made it two steps when Chen Yu's figure flashed, blocking his path and striking him squarely in the chest.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the man passed out.

It wasn't long before Zhou Shengtao arrived in a hurry with several officials.

Yet looking at the mayhem, Zhou Shengtao frowned.
