"Mr. Diao, enough talking, look at my current miserable state, what's the use of money for now!"
Fang Yu was acting, and Lei Shenhao followed along.
Lei Shenhao had already seen what Fang Yu wanted, but he still had to cooperate with him, finish this act, others would be at ease, and maybe he could escape death as well.
He just didn't know if this guy in front of him ca knocking on his own or if it was arranged by the Hai Family.
Being locked up for too long, he lost control of outside information, and Lei Shenhao began to gradually not understand the situation.
However, right now, he's at the rcy of others. As long as he can leave Sunset City alive, anything can be negotiated.
"Brother Lei may not want money, but I need money. How about Brother Lei lets handle your business in Sunset City? I can gather so funds to help get you out."
He wanted both money and the unowned Spirit, which was the height of greed.
But the greedier he was, the more assured Lei Shenhao felt.
Because this ant the other party really intended to save him.
The only question now was how to ensure that once he handed over the goods and benefits, the other party wouldn't just take off and leave him in the lurch.
So...
"I can give you the assets in Sunset City right now, but the information on the unowned Spirit, I need to leave Sunset City first before I tell you."
As long as the information about the Spirit was in his hand, no Believer could resist such a temptation.
But Lei Shenhao didn't know that this move played right into Fang Yu's hands.
"Alright! It's a deal! First, tell all the assets you have in Sunset City; I'll take care of it. Once I handle it, tomorrow night, I'll co to get you out!"
"...Alright."
As long as he could leave this hellhole, anything could be negotiated.
He was already planning to escape, and those assets in Sunset City, at most, would only be converted to money.
Most of the assets were practically loss-making deals; Lei Shenhao was thinking long-term, acquiring assets slowly in Sunset City for long-term operations. He practically treated Sunset City as his city, his base of operations.
So many things, buying them was actually a loss, and now giving them away seed like cutting losses.
After he finished explaining all his local assets and gave the secret codes for communication, Lei Shenhao sent the gentleman away.
But as soon as he turned, he imdiately went offline.
All the codes were fake; the real code was only one, his phone number.
A call was made, and his subordinates imdiately received orders.
When Fang Yu arrived in the ga to verify the code, all the notes, deeds, and such were ready, just waiting for Fang Yu to lift a hand and take them away.
Even so cash and silver taels were included.
This money felt good to receive.
Fang Yu worked hard all afternoon, receiving almost all of Lei Shenhao's assets under his na.
The next thing was easier to handle.
Fixed assets are sotis hard to liquidate quickly.
But Fang Yu is different.
He knows too many people in high-end circles.
People with nas in Sunset City are eager to make friends with him.
So when he slashes prices, offloading quickly isn't a problem.
Fang Yu thought it all out beautifully, but things didn't go exactly as planned.
Zhou Changqing looked troubled and awkwardly said.
"Truth be told, Diao Keqing, the granary in this location was originally our Zhou Family's property. Later, since there was no natural disaster or man-made calamity, we always had ample grain, so holding onto the granary didn't make money, which is why we sold part of it. Who would've thought, it went round and round, back in your hands..."
Can't sell it??
Fang Yu decisively launched a big move.
"Half price to you! Give so face!"
It must be said, Fang Yu's face was indeed useful.
Zhou Changqing, nearly with a bewildered expression, handed over the money.
Aside from so hard-to-sell assets, the others, which were slightly more marketable, were easy to sell with Fang Yu's added influence.
With half gone, the stack of silver notes in Fang Yu's hand was thick, tucked into his money pouch at his waist.
He walked back to the room.
Just in ti, he saw Ding Hui frowning at a desk, constantly calculating so lists, with a basket of materials next to her.
For each material she picked up, Ding Hui would cross off an item on the list.
Fang Yu leaned in for a look; the list was a material list.
About only a third of it was crossed off, and the materials in the basket were almost gone.
"You're back?"
Ding Hui glanced sideways at Fang Yu, seeing his refreshed appearance, suspiciously leaned in to sniff him.
Hmm, no scent of won's perfu.
"What have you been doing all day? Never saw you." She asked while massaging her temples.
She had been busy counting materials all day, which was ntally exhausting.
Due to the variety of materials needed, she couldn't start an experint imdiately upon acquiring each one.
Because experints take ti to validate, this process cannot be rushed. So while still in Sunset City, her goal was to gather as many materials as possible, doing one experint after another on the road, testing reactions with Spiritual Particles and Bloodline Spirit.
These are just the main materials; a large batch of supplentary materials is also needed, all of which cost money.
Though leveraging Fang Yu's reputation, she managed to procure quite a bit from other families, this was a one-ti thing, only beneficial for the initial batch.
After that, regardless of your requests or what information you leak, whatever gift you give, you don't have to accept it, but nothing extra will be given.
It's mostly the smaller families that can't establish such high-level connections.
Indeed, high-level.
In the eyes of families in Sunset City, Fang Yu's status was comparable to Lord Hai Lin's, highly bound with the Hai Family; thus, they've reached the peak of a friendly relationship, more efforts won't yield greater returns, so it might as well fall apart.
Not to ntion, many of the materials Ding Hui asked for were incredibly valuable, and those small families, even if they had it, would be reluctant to gift such to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu went over to massage her shoulders.
This action imdiately brought a smile to Ding Hui's face, and the day's fatigue seed to vanish.
She placed her hand on back of Fang Yu's hand, rubbing back and forth, and softly asked.
"Sothing's off, what exactly were you doing today?"
Fang Yu stopped, took two steps back and proudly said, "Making money!"
Ding Hui: ???
Ding Hui thought she heard wrong.
"Making money? You??"
Good, that look, I understand it!
Fang Yu chuckled twice.
"Dun dun dun dun~"
He directly took out that thick pile of silver notes.
Ding Hui's eyes went wide.
"So much money!? Where did it co from?"
Fang Yu wagged a finger back and forth twice and said, "Don't ask, just bring your face over here."
Perplexed, Ding Hui leaned her face in, and Fang Yu gently patted it left and right with the thick stack of silver notes.
"Will this money be enough to buy all the materials?"
Ding Hui quickly calculated and responded, "Enough... for part of it?"
Having said that, she took the silver notes from Fang Yu's hand.
Placing it on the table, she quickly divided it into portions, then roughly estimating the market price, drew small circles next to the uncertain parts of the materials list, indicating they could probably be bought.
With this marked off, along with the circled parts, they roughly covered two-thirds of the materials list.
One-third remained; Fang Yu was stumped too.
"I still have so not-so-easy-to-sell assets; if I package and sell them, I should be able to raise a bit more money," Fang Yu said.
Still have assets??
Ding Hui turned to look at him.
"Speak! Where did the money co from!"
This ti Fang Yu answered truthfully.
"Got it from Lei Qingzi at Qingling Taoist Temple."
"Him?"
Ding Hui was quite surprised.
"Wouldn't his assets have already been taken by the Hai Family?"
"Tut-tut-tut, Ding Hui, you don't understand this, do you? A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Soone like Lei Qingzi, with money, would never have all his assets out in the open."
