Scarface Qiang's expression beca extrely serious: "We were working at the construction site, then suddenly a convoy of off-road vehicles charged in. A lot of skilled fighters ca out and beat up all our brothers, and several construction vehicles were smashed by them!"
"They said they've had their eye on this project for a long ti, and in everything, there's a protocol of first co, first served. They insist they must take over this project!"
As Scarface Qiang finished speaking, Han Chen and Song Lu's expressions changed.
Because, they heard a lot of information in those words. In fact, before them, the governnt had already been attracting investnt to prepare for a comprehensive makeover of West City Old Street and Nine-Headed Mountain. At that ti, several powerful families from the provincial capital were drawn in, all showing interest in Nine-Headed Mountain. However, after inviting a geomancer to check it out, they withdrew, leaving the matter unresolved.
They had been puzzled at that ti, but now they realize it must have been due to the Feng Shui array at Nine-Headed Mountain.
Now that the Feng Shui array at Nine-Headed Mountain has been undone, these people have rushed out like cats slling fish!
Li Chuan's eyes flashed coldly: "It seems my intuition was correct, Nine-Headed Mountain is truly enticing!"
Song Lu was a bit surprised: "Mr. Li, you predicted this a long ti ago?"
"Let's head over there first." Li Chuan nodded, then closed the clinic door and went to West City Old Street.
"Although Jiangzhou City's economic developnt has stagnated for many years, its location is inherently excellent. It's not only a strategic location but also a treasure trove of Feng Shui, said to gather wind and energy!"
"Previously, the economic stagnation was due to the Dragon Vein at Nine-Headed Mountain being overly suppressed, causing life force to leak out."
"Now, with Nine-Headed Mountain's Feng Shui array untangled, Jiangzhou City's economy is bound to take off!"
"It's like a treasure that previously had many traps; venturing in ant certain death, hence many hesitated to reach out. Once all these traps are dismantled, the various forces that had their eyes on this treasure will surely make their move!"
Han Chen seed to recall sothing, his face turning grim: "Does this an that when we were fighting Ni Family to the point of bloodshed, those forces were just watching from the sidelines, hoping to benefit from our conflict?"
Li Chuan: "Now it seems, that's exactly how it is."
And there's sothing else; these major forces might actually be targeting the Dragon Vein beneath Nine-Headed Mountain!
Song Lu frowned: "If it's true that those powerful forces from the provincial capital have set their sights here, with our current strength, it's hard to compete with them."
Li Chuan chuckled lightly: "Even if they want to take over, they need to consider if they've got the weight to do so!"
The three of them drove to West City Old Street, arriving twenty minutes later.
As soon as they got out of the car, they saw Han Chen and Song Lu's n huddled together, all bruised and battered, with blood spilled everywhere—too awful to witness!
The once bustling construction site was now silent.
Beside a black rcedes Benz G-Class sat an elderly man in a black Tang suit, with grayish-white hair, holding a string of walnuts.
The old man emanated a classical aura, appearing unfathomable.
Around the old man were many domineering off-road vehicles parked.
The entire site was surrounded by people in black suits and sunglasses, seemingly sealing off all of West City.
Originally resting his eyes, the old man slowly opened them upon realizing soone had arrived.
In the instant he opened his eyes, a gleam of mysterious light flashed!
Even seasoned veterans like Han Chen and Song Lu, who had mixed in Jianghu for years, felt their scalps tingle in the presence of the old man.
Just with a glance, he made them break out in cold sweat—this was undoubtedly a master!
"Li Chuan? A promising young talent." Though the old man said so, his face was full of sarcasm, "Our boss has taken an interest in these two projects at Nine-Headed Mountain, and we ask Mr. Li to hand them over."
"Of course, we won't take them for free, I've heard Mr. Li spent two billion on these projects. We'll return that money to Mr. Li, plus an additional five billion as compensation."
Li Chuan laughed: "I spent two billion, and you're willing to give twenty-five billion—so I'm supposed to benefit from this transaction."
"However, how do you account for injuring so many of my people? Aren't you going to give an explanation?"
The old man chuckled: "Apologies; this is how I've always handled things. In my eyes, they're re ants. I've been kind enough to spare their lives."
"Moreover, offering you twenty-five billion is already showing face. I advise you not to reject a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Li Chuan: "I really want to know, who is your boss?"
The old man wore an arrogant expression: "Provincial capital, Wild Wolf Gang!"
Li Chuan had no clue what gang this was. In his eyes, these gangs belonged to the past century, so upon hearing the old man's words, he seed slightly baffled.
Yet, Han Chen and Song Lu turned pale and broke out in cold sweat upon hearing this, as they were incredibly familiar with the Wild Wolf Gang from their long years in Jianghu!
This gang is one of the top black forces in the provincial capital. Of course, nowadays they're not called black forces, they na themselves families!
And the Wild Wolf Gang is precisely the Ge Family from the provincial capital!
The Ge Family has assets worth four to five hundred billion!
Thus, they hadn't expected the Ge Family to be the first to make a move!
"Scared now?" the old man chuckled faintly, "You should be; before the Wild Wolf Gang, what else are you if not ants? It's indeed courteous of not to kill anyone today!"
"As I said, don't reject a toast only to drink a forfeit."
"Take the money, gather your n, and leave quickly!" The old man nonchalantly took out a check, flicked it with his fingertips, and it flew towards Li Chuan like a blade!
Li Chuan reached out with two fingers, catching the check between them, and upon inspection, it indeed stated twenty-five billion!
"Twenty-five billion is indeed a profit, but the injured ones are my brothers! Their account cannot go unsettled." Li Chuan's mouth curved into a smile.
"Young one, what exactly do you want to do!" The old man squinted.
Li Chuan's maneuver just now raised his vigilance.
Handing the check to Han Chen, Li Chuan chuckled, "Since you're here, you should know my capabilities. Since I've managed to undo the Feng Shui array of Nine-Headed Mountain, naturally, I can set another one. Old man, do you want to try?"
The old man's face darkened.
"Since you've already spent twenty-five billion, I believe you wouldn't be stingy enough to begrudge dical bills, would you?"
The old man gritted his teeth: "They're rely surface injuries; won't five billion cover it?"
Li Chuan shook his head: "It's not just about dical bills; their beating cannot go uncompensated!"
"You've mixed in Jianghu long enough; surely you're not unfamiliar with such rules?"
The old man's face turned livid: "Fine, na your price!"
Li Chuan's words had indeed intimidated him. He had examined the Feng Shui array at Nine-Headed Mountain long before but couldn't resolve it with his expertise in Feng Shui.
Thus, he didn't want to completely sever relations with Li Chuan.
Li Chuan: "Ten million!"
Upon hearing this, the old man got furious: "Just that little injury, and you dare ask for ten million?"
Li Chuan: "You've misunderstood, it's ten million per person!"
The old man: "..."
