In One Night
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The saying that birds fly separately in the face of disaster is really true.
Knowing Wen Xinghui was in trouble, Master Liu, who once surrounded him like a bootlicker, fled faster than anyone else.
âI will not let you off easily after this ordeal.â
If he wanted to overcome this crisis, he had to find Chen Yu.
He took a few minutes to mentally prepare himself.
Taking a deep breath, Wen Xinghui picked up his phone and dialed Chen Yuâs number.
When the call connected, Wen Xinghui went straight to the point. âChen Yu, 1 was wrong in the previous matter. State your conditions.â
âWhat will it take for you to let me go?â
âMr. Wen, 1 donât understand what you mean. What did you do wrong?â
âWas it the method of taking over a birdâs nest like a cuckoo?â Chen Yu asked in a sarcastic tone. âOr, was it viciously invading other peopleâs Feng Shui treasure land to enhance your luck?â
âOr could it be disrespecting me over the phone and sending someone to pour gasoline and prepare to burn my shop down?â
With just a few words, Wen Xinghui was fuming and almost went berserk on the spot.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Wen Xinghui said in a deep voice, âSome things are in the past, so letâs not talk about them anymore.â
âWhy not?â
Chen Yu asked coolly.
âThe villagers who were harmed by you will have a harder time in the future.â
âIt will be very difficult for any of them to even get a decent incoming again in their entire lives.â
âIf 1 wasnât capable, not only would my shop be burned to the ground, but 1 might also be in a hospital right now.â
âIâm willing to pay you until youâre satisfied.â
âAs long as you let me go, I can give you any kind of compensation,â Wen Xinghui replied firmly.
âIf you want money or women, just say it.â
âIf you had this attitude when talking to me yesterday, you wouldnât have shot yourself in the foot.â
Chen Yu replied coldly.
âI kindly advised you to stop, but you insisted on not turning back until you hit a wall.â
âHow is it? You hit your head and bled, right?â
âThe heavens are watching. You can hide these sinful acts from others, but you canât hide them from the heavens.â
âOnce the punishment comes, not only will you and the company be in trouble, but your family will also pay the price.â
âIf you really want to atone for your sins, come to my shop in half an hour.â
âIâll come over now.â
After hanging up the phone, Wen Xinghui ordered his men to prepare his car.
Wen Xinghui walked into the psychological treatment room in less than half an hour.
Chen Yu crossed his hands and propped his chin up as he looked at Wen Xinghui, who had just entered, with a faint smile.
Sitting opposite Chen Yu, Wen Xinghui said straightforwardly, âMaster Chen, Iâ¦â
âWait a minute.â
Chen Yu interrupted Wen Xinghui.
âI prefer to be called Dr. Chen.â
Wen Xinghui wanted to strangle Chen Yu to death.
At this time, Chen Yu was still fussing over how he should be addressed.
Fine. He would do as asked since he was the one coming here to make peace.
âDr. Chen, Iâve prepared a check for ten million yuan for you as a welcome gift.â
âWhat can 1 do to make you let me go? Please give me a quick answer, Dr. Chen. Iâll definitely satisfy your every request.â
âLetâs write off the matter between you and me,â Chen Yu sat up straight and said.
âHowever, you must compensate for your sinful deeds to the villagers.â
After saying so, Chen Yu raised his hand and made a âsixâ gesture.
âYou have occupied six treasured lands with about 12,000 villagers living nearby.â
âYou turned their home into a land of death.â
âAs the beneficiary, shouldnât you be responsible for the rest of their lives?â
âHow?â
Wen Xinghui asked.
âBuild factories, nursing homes, kindergartens, and rural canteens in these places.â
âUse them to settle down the people who have lost their luck.â
âIt doesnât matter what the factory does. Anyway, the working hours canât exceed eight hours a day.â
âThe salary must be slightly higher than the local average.â
âThere are many children in the Li Family Village. You can also build a village hospital there.â
After hearing these requests, Wen Xinghui was about to explode.
Recalling how Chen Yu held his future and fate in his hands, he suppressed his rage.
âDo you mean that I have to pay the adultsâ salaries, insurance, and funds every month? 1 have to take care of their elderly and children?â
âEven if these people are sick, I have to be responsible?â
âIs there a problem?â
Chen Yu asked playfully.
âIâm not their parents,â Wen Xinghui spat sullenly. âWhy should 1 care about their food, drink, shit, birth, old age, illness, and death?â
âDonât forget,â Chen Yu sneered. âWithout them, you wouldnât have your current glory.â
âBefore you absorbed their luck, you were just the boss of a small film company.â
âEvery year, at most, we can only earn tens of millions.â
âEver since you set your sights on them and used an array to absorb the blessings and luck of these places, your assets have blossomed.â
âIn just a few years, youâve accumulated billions of dollars.â
âYour good luck and assets come from them, while you have tricked these people and wonât be able to have good luck for the rest of their lives.â
Chen Yu made a vivid analogy.
The villagers were the parents, and Wen Xinghui was their son.
He took his parentsâ money and ate their food.
When parents turn old, it is time for their children to support them.
Wen Xinghuiâs face turned green.
According to Chen Yu, he needed to feed 12,000 people.
Based on the fact that half of the people there were adults, Wen Xinghui would have to fork out 30 million yuan of their monthly salary alone, assuming the going rate was 5,000 yuan.
These were excluding insurance and other miscellaneous things.
All in all, it would cost at least 50 million a month.
Chen Yu also requested that he build nursing homes, kindergartens, and hospitals in these places.
Those were other significant expenses.
The villagers had burned his fatherâs corpse to ashes, and it was now impossible to rely on the corpse array to earn money.
Also, whether his company could continue to prosper was unknown.
Even if he could still have a place in the film and television industry, it would not be as smooth sailing as before, where any random investment in a movie could reap several times the profits.
The more Wen Xinghui thought about it, the more disgruntled he was.
In one night, he had gained tens of thousands of âparentsâ.
What sin did he commit to end up like this?
Since Wen Xinghui didnât reply, Chen Yu asked with a faint smile, âDo you want to know why your luck plummeted?â
âWhy?â
Wen Xinghui asked back.
âThereâs an old saying among the people. The key to oneâs success is also oneâs undoing.â
âYou set up an evil formation and used your fatherâs corpse to absorb the blessings for your own use.â
âNow, his bones have been burned to ashes by the villagers of Li Family Village, and more than half have been flushed down a toilet by your employee.â
âWho do you think he should vent his anger on?â
Chen Yu asked.
âOf course itâs those bastards from the Li family village⦠Those villagers!â
Wen Xinghui replied without hesitation.
âIf someone were to protect the Li Family Villageâs villagers,â Chen Yu continued, âso that your father canât vent his anger on them, who would he find then?â
âWho⦠me?â
Wen Xinghui was stunned.
No wonder his luck had become so bad with everything that could go wrong happening at the same time.
Chen Yu was truly a bastard..
