At this mont, Li Chuan was still channeling Lingxi True Qi.
It was because of his intense desire for power advancent that he indulged so eagerly in matters between n and won.
For the next two days, Song Hanzhang and Li Yong did not return ho.
They both seed to be busy with work-related matters.
Having grown weary of workplace scheming, Li Yong planned to open his own clinic and had spent the past couple of days preparing, busily.
Living alone together with Song Zihan, many wonderful things naturally happened.
That morning, Li Chuan received a call from Yang Xin'Er: "Just as you predicted, the Ni Family has mortgaged the Ginza Building in the city center to us. The land deed and property proof are now in our hands. If they don't pay back thirty billion in two months, the Ginza Building will be ours."
After listening to Yang Xin'Er's call, a cold smile tugged at the corners of Li Chuan's mouth.
To deal with people like the Ni Family, you have to trample both their pride and substance underfoot!
In high spirits, Li Chuan turned and embraced Song Zihan.
"So early in the morning, what's up?" Song Zihan grabbed Li Chuan's hands in a daze, saying, "I haven't even gotten up yet!"
Li Chuan smirked mischievously: "Grandma used to say, if the needle's eye is too small, put the thread in your mouth for a bit, then it'll go through smoothly."
Song Zihan was taken aback, then her face flushed crimson, playfully scolding, "You're so naughty!"
Despite her words, she still burrowed her head under the blanket...
The art of juicing lies in the morning...
...
An hour and a half later, Li Chuan received a call from Lan Yubo: "Mr. Li, do you have ti right now? If so, why not co over to the Seven Bowls Tea House for so tea?"
This old man wouldn't ask out for tea for no reason. Li Chuan got up, bid farewell to Song Zihan, and then took a taxi to the Seven Bowls Tea House.
"Buddy, I'll just drop you off here. There are lots of people, and anyway, it's not far from here to the tea house." The driver parked by the roadside and said sowhat apologetically.
Li Chuan looked up and saw why the driver had stopped.
At the entrance of the old street, there was a dense crowd, at least a thousand people, packed like sardines, making it impossible for a car to pass through.
In their hands were waterlon knives, axes, chains, iron rods, and even shovels and hoes.
"Alright. I'll get off here."
Li Chuan didn't know what Lan Yubo was up to, but he didn't make things difficult for the driver and got off the car.
He hadn't walked far before Lan Yubo, accompanied by Lan Zhengxing and Lan Xiaobao, ca up to greet him:
"Mr. Li, welco, please co with us!"
Li Chuan was bewildered: "Old master, what's going on here?"
Lan Zhengxing chuckled: "We just got word from the Ni Family. They'll be coming over shortly to sign an agreent with us and bring the compensation funds. The old master said that in such an important situation, we can't do without Mr. Li."
Li Chuan had a sudden realization, finding Lan Yubo's tactic ruthless. If the Ni Family knew that he was orchestrating all this, they would be mad enough to spit blood!
Seeing this situation, it's fortunate that the Lan Clan didn't step into the Jianghu due to the Nine-Headed Mountain curse. Otherwise, with such a lineup, Three-blade Hall, Han Chen, Song Lu, and the Ni Family would all be nothing in front of the Lan Clan!
Moreover, the core mbers of the Lan Family led by Old Master Lan were no simple figures!
Soon, the group arrived at the Seven Bowls Tea House.
They entered a private room in the tea house to drink tea while waiting for the people from the Ni Family to arrive.
"Old master, this Thousand Mountain Jade Leaves is indeed a fine tea," Li Chuan remarked with a smile.
"Indeed! So if the Ni Family really secures the Nine-Headed Mountain project this ti, it would be their fortune," Lan Yubo replied with a aningful look.
"Haha, rest assured, old master, they won't get their hands on it," Li Chuan laughed.
After drinking a cup of tea, a Lan Clan mber ca in to report that the Ni Family's car had stopped at the entrance of the old street.
Lan Yubo nodded and smiled: "Mr. Li, please continue enjoying your tea leisurely. When the ti is right, I'll have soone invite you out to et the Ni Family people."
"Alright."
Lan Yubo, Lan Zhengxing, and Lan Xiaobao left the private room.
"Elder Lan, we're ready with thirty billion; here's the check," Pei Dong took out a check with great respect upon seeing Lan Yubo.
Lan Yubo paid him no mind.
A middle-aged man in a suit and glasses stepped forward, took the check, and began to inspect it.
Pei Dong smiled: "There's a bank nearby; it can be converted into a cash deposit any ti."
The middle-aged man nodded to Lan Yubo.
Lan Yubo gave a nod, and the middle-aged man imdiately left with the check.
"Since your Ni Family is so sincere, I won't make things difficult for you," Lan Yubo said calmly.
"That's great!" Pei Dong nodded at a young man beside him, who imdiately took out a pre-prepared contract from his bag, "Pleasure doing business!"
The Lan side naturally had professionals to inspect the contract.
After everything was prepared, Lan Yubo didn't hurry to sign, but waited for the middle-aged man who took the check to return, confirming that the thirty billion had been credited to the West City street's public account, only then did he pick up the pen to sign.
Once the contract was completed, Pei Dong felt relieved, truly worried that Lan Yubo would back out, raise the price at the last minute, since they really couldn't co up with more money!
Fortunately, they adhered to Jianghu rules.
Carefully packing away the contract, Pei Dong smiled: "Old Master Lan, I won't disturb you any longer, but I hope you can withdraw from the old street by the deadline stipulated in the contract. Farewell."
With that, Pei Dong was about to leave.
Lan Yubo chuckled: "Hold on a mont."
Pei Dong paused, turned around: "Old Master Lan, is there anything else?"
Lan Yubo: "Do you know why I asked for thirty billion?"
Pei Dong didn't really want to delve into this topic; after all, who would mind having more money? If they weren't stuck between a rock and a hard place, they wouldn't have paid such a high sum.
But since Lan Yubo asked, he was curious to hear the reason.
"Why?"
Lan Yubo chuckled: "Because your Ni Family displeases . Your underhanded, sinister ways, treating lives like grass, made this old man retaliate in kind, an eye for an eye!"
Pei Dong squinted his eyes: "Old Master Lan, just speak plainly."
Lan Yubo: "Mr. Li, let's escort the Ni Family's steward together."
With that, Li Chuan stepped out of the adjacent room with a smile on his face.
Initially, Pei Dong couldn't believe his eyes!
Once he confird that the person standing in front of him was indeed Li Chuan, his face imdiately darkened, a look of dread flashed in his eyes: "Li... Li Chuan! What on earth is going on?"
