Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Lu Zhengxiong Lays His Cards on the Table_1
On the other hand.
Having returned to safety, Xue Yuhang ordered the motorcade to stop on the roadside.
When he came, Taoist Master Xuanqing sat in a Rolls-Royce, but now he was sitting in a small truck for transporting temple materials.
Xue Yuhang was just that practical.
Seeing Xue Yuhang approaching, Taoist Master Xuanqing knew he was about to face a reckoning.
Thus, he quickly explained, "Second Young Master, today was indeed my oversight, I underestimated that female ghost. But rest assured, once we return to Five Tiger Mountain, I will definitely ask my master to take action. Once the sect leader makes his move, not to mention one female ghost, even if thousands, millions come, he will be able to slaughter them without leaving a single one armored!"
"Then you go back immediately and bring your master here. If he can’t deal with the malevolent spirit of Moon Lake as well, not only will you not get a penny, but I will also ensure that Five Tiger Mountain will henceforth lose its incense offerings and become a barren hill!"
Because of this live broadcast, the haunting of Moon Lake not only became an established fact but also set ablaze the regions south of the Yangtze River.
Lu Zhengxiong made a phone call and arranged for Xue Yuhang to meet at Star Moon Club.
Last time, Qin Feng forced Jian Shichao to drink himself paralyzed; at this moment, Mr. Jian was still undergoing treatment in Yoshida Hospital.
Jian Shichao gave Lu Zhengxiong a firm order to take over Haiyun Group before he was discharged.
Xue Yuhang’s live broadcast attempting to exorcise ghosts at Moon Lake failed, which gave Lu Zhengxiong a perfect opportunity!
In the private room, there was only Lu Zhengxiong alone.
Additionally, a stock transfer agreement was laid out on the table.
Xue Yuhang didn’t notice these details; he plopped down on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
He took several deep drags, dispelling the frustration he had before.
Lu Zhengxiong didn’t rush to speak, just watching him with a smile that concealed knives.
Xue Yuhang, having recovered his composure, asked, "President Lu, calling me over in the middle of the night, do you want me to appraise the pretty ladies of your club?"
"Second Young Master, don’t rush, I have plenty of pretty girls here, but let’s talk business first. Once the business is done, you can choose any of the pretty girls here."
This statement left Xue Yuhang confused, and he asked, "Talk about what business?"
"Second Young Master, you just went to Moon Lake for a live broadcast to kill ghosts. The ghost wasn’t slain, and now the whole world knows about the haunting of Moon Lake. Dafa Finance notified me that I should guarantee the loan of 150 billion that you took. You need to pay it back immediately, with interest."
Upon hearing this, Xue Yuhang immediately became anxious.
"Isn’t the loan term five years? All my money is already invested, how can I repay it? Besides, when we made that loan, we signed a contract, black on white. It’s only been a few days, is Dafa Finance going to break the contract?"
"Second Young Master, it’s clearly written in the loan contract. If the Moon Lake project encounters a major crisis, Dafa Finance has the right to recall the loan at any time. Now that Moon Lake is haunted, and it is well-known throughout the city, this is a major crisis. Therefore, Dafa Finance can not only recall the loan but also charge you a breach-of-contract fee of fifty percent. This means, you need to immediately pay Dafa Finance 225 billion yuan."
The behind-the-scenes owner of Dafa Finance is Jian Shichao, who has always been engaged in usurious lending. As for Lu Zhengxiong, he also holds a 5% stake.
The high-interest loans put out by Dafa Finance, whenever they can’t be collected, it’s Lu Zhengxiong’s job to collect them.
Lending money to Xue Yuhang through Dafa Finance was a trap from the start.
Now that Xue Yuhang has fallen into the trap, naturally, it’s time to slaughter a fat sheep!
"Lu Zhengxiong, what do you mean? Even if Moon Lake is haunted, I have already sought out a Taoist. The Taoist Master Xuanqing we brought in this time, indeed, has no skill and could not deal with that female ghost. But he has gone back to ask his master for help! His master, True Master Taixu, is the head of Five Tiger Mountain. As long as True Master Taixu makes a move, he will surely annihilate all the vengeful spirits in Moon Lake."
"Now that things have come to this point, I won’t deceive you any longer, Second Young Master. I’ll lay my cards on the table! I’ve known about the haunting at Moon Lake for a while. After acquiring the land, I tried to develop it several times and sought out many experts to perform exorcisms, but none succeeded. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sold Moon Lake to you at such a low price of 100 billion yuan.
As for True Master Taixu you mentioned, I personally sought him out. I’ve been to Five Tiger Mountain no less than ten times, with seven trips in vain. I’ve met him three times and invited him three times, but he never agreed. Even with a high additional offer, I couldn’t persuade him! So, you will surely not be able to invite True Master Taixu. The haunting at Moon Lake is definitely something you won’t be able to resolve."
"Who do you think you are, Lu Zhengxiong? You are just a local snake in Zhonghai, why would True Master Taixu give you face? I am the Second Young Master of the Xue Family. As long as I step in, True Master Taixu will certainly come to Moon Lake to help me exorcise ghosts!"
"I, Lu Zhengxiong, am indeed nobody, so I’ll just lay it straight tonight. Even if you can invite True Master Taixu, and even if he does vanquish that female ghost, the incident of Moon Lake being haunted has already caused a stir throughout the city.
Do you think that after the project is fixed, anyone will dare to come play here? Will anyone dare to buy houses in Moon Lake? Will anyone dare to invest in Moon Lake? Thus, no matter how you look at it, Moon Lake has already failed!"
Lu Zhengxiong picked up the share transfer agreement on the table and handed it to Xue Yuhang.
"If you can’t repay the money, transfer your shares in Haiyun Group to me as debt collateral."
Even if Xue Yuhang is slow-witted, he should understand by now.
He pointed at Lu Zhengxiong’s nose and asked fiercely, "From the beginning, you’ve been setting a trap for me? Your goal is to swallow up my family’s Haiyun Group?"
Lu Zhengxiong nodded and answered straightforwardly, "Yes."
Xue Yuhang exploded, his lungs nearly bursting with anger.
"Lu Zhengxiong, you’ve got some nerve; you actually dare to design a scheme against the Xue Family? You’re just a lowly local snake; with just a flick of the Xue Family’s finger, we could crush you to death!"
"Crush me to death? The Xue Family counts for nothing! Second Young Master, you probably don’t know whom I’m working for, do you?"
"Who?"
"Mr. Jian! Not only does he want to sleep with your sister, but he also wants to swallow up your Haiyun Group. Everything of the Xue Family will belong to Mr. Jian. And I’m just one of Mr. Jian’s dogs. Wherever he points, I bite. So, Second Young Master, you better just sign the agreement obediently. I am just a local snake; you could indeed fight me. But what about Mr. Jian?
Your Xue Family is merely a minor family in the Capital, second or third-tier; can you compare with the Jian Family? The Jian Family is one of the eight great and powerful families, the top-tier family in the Capital! An arm can’t twist a thigh, Second Young Master, you might as well accept it! All you need to do is sign, and you can have your way with the beautiful girls at my club. I can even give you a VIP card, and from now on, whenever you come to Star Moon Club, everything is on the house!"
