Their conversation was short and concise. They hung up after finishing their business.
Ning Che was startled. âOld Master Lu is too well-informed. He actually received the news so quickly.â
âIâm guessing that before Elder Lu took action, he had already planted people around the various large families. Otherwise, he wouldnât be so well-informed.â Qiu Yuluo said.
âPerhaps Elder Lu really has a way to deal with them.â
âNot necessarily.â Ning Che said.
âWe can all but confirm that heâs planted spies, but no one knows if he can actually deal with them. We have to be more serious. When he needs it, we have to help Elder Lu get rid of all these obstacles.â
âBut Elder Lu has already spoken. We have to hurry back.â
Lin Yi nodded. âIâll visit the Zhou family tomorrow. If thereâs nothing else, Iâll head back to Yanjing after.â
âOkay.â
After dinner that night, the three of them did not return to the Ritz Carlton. Instead, they found another hotel to rest in.
Lin Yi sent the two of them back, then found a bathhouse with Song Jinmin and prepared to get a massage.
âYouâre going back to Yanjing tomorrow?â Song Jinmin asked. âYouâre not done here, are you?â
âLu Beichen asked me to return.â Lin Yi said, âSpeaking of Team 4, he told he could handle it himself and wonât let me interfere.â
âHeâs probably afraid of implicating you,â Song Jinmin said.
âAlthough he has a high position and authority, itâs not certain if he can handle this matter well.â
âThatâs what 1 thought, so Iâm a little worried.â
âWhatâs the use of worrying? Just provide me with the specific information, and Iâll go over and kill them all.â
âBig brother, can you keep a low profile?â Lin Yi said with a face full of black lines.
âIf you really kill them all, I probably wonât live long either.â
âI hate it when you people keep dithering. Itâs so frustrating.â
âIf you were really that tough, why did my mom have to flip the table?â
Song Jinmin smacked his lips. âLetâs change the subject.â
âDo you need to prepare? Iâm planning to handle the Black Snake matter as soon as 1 return to Yanjing.â
âI do need some preparation time. Give me two days,â Song Jinmin said.
âAt your level, you still need two days?â
âEven though Iâm at A-class, a single artillery shell can still kill me,â Song Jinmin replied.
âThis isnât the island. 1 need to be careful.â
âFine, you handle the remaining details. We have to deal with Black Snake thoroughly.â
Puahhhâ¦
With a slow drag on his cigarette, Song Jinmin said. âI donât think you can keep avoiding this. Even if you deal with Black Snake, youâll eventually have to return to Zhonghai. The issues with those women will still need to be addressed.â
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yi said calmly.
âThere have been a lot of problems lately. 1 need to think about how to handle this.â
âItâs such a hassle. 1 do have a method that could solve everything once and for all.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLetâs hear it.â
âLetâs make the fake act a reality.â
âWhat do you mean by that?â
âLetâs find a secluded place, and Iâll kill you. That way, itâs all settled.â
âAre you serious? Is this your idea of a solution?â Lin Yi cursed. âDo you believe my mom would kill you if she found out about this?â
âI was just joking to lighten the mood,â Song Jinmin said.
âIn my opinion, if the soft approach doesnât work, use the hard one. Force the issue. They wouldnât want their children to grow up without a father. You get what I mean, right?â
âThatâs a really mean move.â
âI learned it from your dad.â
âHeâs really a bad person.â
âWeâve reached an unprecedented consensus on this.â
It was late at night, but neither of them left. After two hours, they fell asleep in the private room.
The next morning, the two of them went for breakfast together. Lin Yi returned to the hotel, picked up Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che, and took a taxi to the Zhou familyâs house.
Compared to the first time he came, the Zhou family looked a little livelier.
More than a dozen cars were parked in the yard, and there were workers tidying the lawn.
After so many days, the Zhou familyâs situation seemed to be improving.
In the Zhou familyâs villa, Zhou Xicheng was having breakfast with his family. The dishes were simple, but the ingredients used were expensive.
There were four people at the table. Other than Zhou Xicheng, there was also his wife, Fan Shuxian, Fan Jiayi, and Zhou Yuan.
He came here today mainly for company matters and to see how the two of them were doing.
âElder Aunt, you should eat more,â Fan Jiayi said.
âYou canât eat so little every day.â
âListen to the child and eat more.â Zhou Xicheng comforted her.
âI donât have much of an appetite. Iâll eat later.â Fan Shuxian stood up and said.
âYou guys chat first. 1â11 go out and sit.â
With the help of the servants, Fan Shuxian walked out of the villa and prepared to go to the courtyard to relax.
Facing this situation, Zhou Xicheng could not say anything. She could only let her slowly adjust. No one else could help.
âUncle, what do you think about the water park project on the sea?â Zhou Yuan asked.
âThe idea is quite good, but it needs to be done carefi;;y to reach a level where it can compete with Disney. Otherwise, itâll just be a joke,â Zhou Xicheng replied.
âThis project has already been halted by Zhonghai authorities. How can we proceed?â
Fan Jiayi didnât oppose the project outright. This was just a facade. Once the contract was signed, Zhou Yan planned to transfer it to his own company.
This was something she didnât want to see happen.
âHalted?â Zhou Xichengâs expression changed slightly. He hadnât anticipated this.
As long as all the contract procedures were complete, something like this shouldnât have happened.
âI donât know the details, but itâs been stopped.â
Zhou Yuan said, feeling a surge of anger. This obstacle kept ruining his plans time and again!
âUncle, hereâs the situation,â Zhou Yuan continued calmly.
âThere were some issues before, but they will be resolved soon. No need to worry, itâs just a misunderstanding.â
âGood, as long as it can be resolved,â Zhou Xicheng said.
âOtherwise, the initial investment would be wasted.â
Zhou Xicheng did not comment too much on this matter. He did not have the energy to worry too much about this.
âUncle, since you donât have any other opinions, I have a document that 1 need you to sign.â
Zhou Yuan took out a thick stack of documents. This was the real purpose of his trip!
Once Zhou Xicheng signed this contract, his plan would be half successful!
Zhou Xicheng did not think too much about it and took the pen from him.
Zhou Yuanâs heart was pounding nervously.
If Uncle took a closer look at the contract, he would discover something fishy.
However, this was the most important part.. If anything went wrong, he would be in trouble!
