Hao Jian had just opened the door when his eyes widened in shock, for he found Moon Goddess Jiang and two other won all waiting in his room.
"My lord, you're back? I've prepared the bathwater for you, please go ahead and bathe and change!" Ruo Lan approached with a frail and gentle deanor, holding slippers in her hands and placing them at Hao Jian's feet.
"Husband, you must be hungry, right? I've made a lot of delicious food; please, have a taste!" Moon Goddess Jiang also ca forward holding a plate of freshly cut fruit salad and even hand-fed a piece to Hao Jian.
Hao Jian was dumbfounded, Was this a contest for favor in the harem? But where was Shu Ya?
Moon Goddess Jiang and Ruo Lan were both eagerly trying to please Hao Jian, one preparing his slippers and the other arranging food, but Shu Ya did not; she stood by the sofa, arms crossed, her gaze piercing as she watched Hao Jian.
"Hao Jian, co here now!" a rebuke echoed through the room
"Yeah, coming!" Hao Jian, without a shred of temper, skittered over.
"So cheap!" Moon Goddess Jiang hissed, her teeth itching with hatred.
"Exactly!" Ruo Lan chid in annoyedly.
anwhile, Ye Fenglin was taking advantage of the night to encroach on Hao Jian's land, preparing to forcefully expropriate it.
"What are you doing? Do you know whose land this is? You dare to expropriate it, have you grown tired of living?" a young man in a sharp suit stord over, pointing at Ye Fenglin and others, scolding as his powerful backer emboldened him to disregard Ye Fenglin.
Ye Fenglin just sneered and signaled his subordinates, several soldiers stepped forward and started beating the man with punches and kicks.
Ye Fenglin scoffed, "I know who's behind you, and I'm targeting him exactly!"
"You're screwed, just a phone call to my boss and all of you are dood!" the young man snarled through gritted teeth, still defiant despite the beating, for he believed his boss would surely avenge him.
These fools dared to expropriate their land, aning they were offending his boss; how could his boss let them off easily?
"Keep beating, I can't wait to see what he can possibly do even if he shows up!" Ye Fenglin said scornfully, eagerly anticipating Hao Jian's reaction.
But then, the young man in the suit hastily made a call, yet not to Hao Jian but to Yeyun Murong in the distant Capital City.
Yeyun Murong had spent over a hundred billion to acquire that piece of land and had even recently assembled a mining crew, preparing to start excavation.
Thinking he would soon bring significant profits to his family, Yeyun Murong couldn't help but feel excited.
Just then, his phone rang, and as soon as he answered it, he heard the tension-filled voice of his subordinate.
"Boss, there's trouble at the construction site; so people are causing a disturbance and saying they want to expropriate our land!"
"What?" Yeyun Murong's brows furrowed deeply; soone dares to expropriate his land? Who's bold enough?
"Put their person in charge on the phone!" Yeyun Murong demanded icily, sensing that sothing was amiss; problems arose so quickly. Could Hao Jian have set him up?
But Ye Fenglin completely disregarded him, rudely saying, "Listen to what? Let him co and talk to himself!"
Yeyun Murong, hearing this voice, found it sowhat familiar, yet couldn't imdiately recall whom it belonged to.
"Have them wait there for ; I'm flying over right now!" Yeyun Murong said annoyed, surely not allowing his property to be snatched away just like that.
When Yeyun Murong arrived at the scene and saw Ye Fenglin, he was stunned.
"Ye Fenglin, it's you?" Yeyun Murong asked, dumbfounded, having assud that it would be Hao Jian's n causing the trouble.
Since the Ye family and Hao Jian were at odds, they should be allies.
"Yeyun Murong? What are you doing here?" Not just Yeyun Murong, even Ye Fenglin looked completely astonished, having not expected to encounter Yeyun Murong here.
"This land belongs to , why wouldn't I be here?" Yeyun Murong said coldly.
"What? This land is yours? But isn't this Hao Jian's land?" Ye Fenglin was taken aback, then questioned in shock, "Could it be that you've tead up with Hao Jian?"
"Nonsense, he sold this land to a few days ago, and now it belongs to ," Murong Yeyun retorted.
"Sold it to you a few days ago?" Ye Fenglin was taken aback and said, "But we were already preparing to requisition this land a few days ago. You must have been tricked by that guy, right?"
Upon hearing Ye Fenglin say this, Murong Yeyun seed to realize sothing and asked, "What do you an by 'requisition'?"
"I reported to the higher-ups earlier that this plot of land had oil to deal with that guy, so the higher-ups authorized to forcefully requisition this land. And that guy sold it to you? Did you know you were scamd?" Ye Fenglin was also irritated. He initially wanted to trick Hao Jian, but in the end, did Hao Jian diversion to him?
On hearing this, Murong Yeyun suddenly staggered back several steps, his face filled with shock.
No wonder Hao Jian approached him, talking about seeking peace. It was just a facade.
Yes, with that guy's despicable temperant, how could he possibly seek peace with him willingly?
That guy must have planned from the start to sell the land, which was about to be requisitioned, to him. The so-called peace-seeking was nothing but a ploy to gain his trust.
Murong Yeyun felt so resentnt. How had he fallen for that guy's trick, not knowing how vile and shaless he was?
"If the land is requisitioned, can I get compensation?" Murong Yeyun asked with an ugly expression. Since it was the state that wanted this land, he definitely had no chance to contend for it.
What he could only hope for now was to obtain so compensation.
"Compensation? Do you think that's possible? With my personality, would I give Hao Jian any compensation? This was a forceful requisition with no compensation!" Ye Fenglin flatly shook his head and then looked at Murong Yeyun with so mockery, "You should bla yourself for being so foolish and falling into that guy's trap."
"Hao Jian, you devious scoundrel!" Murong Yeyun gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, reaching the peak of his rage.
Now his family had innocently incurred a loss of tens of billions, how would his grandfather view him? He had intended to achieve great things, but in the end, he turned out to be a bane to his own family.
.......
The next day, Hao Jian was woken up by a doorbell. Upon opening the door, he saw Vivian standing at his doorstep, making him jump in surprise, "What are you doing here? How did you find my house?"
"For an assassin, is it difficult to find a person?" Vivian rolled her eyes and then just pushed past Hao Jian into the house.
"This damn brat!" Hao Jian cursed under his breath, Vivian was treating this place like her own ho.
"Is that an urn you're holding?" Hao Jian was taken aback when he saw what Vivian was holding in her hand. Bringing an urn to soone else's house was extrely impolite, right?
"Yes, it's my dad's ashes," Vivian didn't hide anything, and then she placed the urn on the table.
On hearing this, Hao Jian was shocked, and his expression changed, showing a trace of inexplicable sorrow, "Why don't you bury it?"
"He couldn't be with when he was alive, can't he be with when he's dead?" Vivian snorted coldly, even in death, she wished for her father to always be by her side.
Thus, Vivian took her father's urn with her wherever she went, keeping him constantly by her side.
"But we Huaxia people believe burial brings peace. I assu not only the Easterners, but Westerners probably think the sa, right?" Hao Jian said with a bitter smile.
"Then let him rest in unrest, it's his fault for abandoning when he was alive, he deserves it!" Vivian stubbornly said, and then squinted her eyes to size up Hao Jian, "Why are you so nervous, feeling guilty? Do you feel very guilty towards my dad?"
Hao Jian indeed gave a bitter smile and nodded, "Indeed, your father's death is an inescapable responsibility of mine. He wouldn't have died if it hadn't been to save ."
But hearing this, Vivian scoffed internally. Even now, Hao Jian was still trying to fool her. Did he really think she was an idiot?
"I have found out that I still have a grandma. I want to take this urn back to her; she is in Shenhui City. Will you accompany ?" Vivian said.
"Huh? Why do you want to go with you?" Hao Jian asked, sowhat puzzled.
"You're familiar with Huaxia, and I'm not. Now, I can only rely on you. As the daughter of your good buddy, do you really want to see wandering alone in Huaxia like a headless fly?" Vivian blinked her eyes pitifully at Hao Jian.
Hao Jian smiled inexplicably and said, "Alright, I'll go with you!"
On hearing this, a sly expression flashed across Vivian's face. She knew how difficult it would be to kill Hao Jian in Hua City, but if she could get him out of Hua City, then everything would be much easier...................................................................................................
