Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Jian Shichao’s Ambition_1
"Wife, what do you mean by this?"
"You want to be with me 24 hours a day, don’t you? Then I’ll grant your wish! From now on, you must be by my side for everything you do, not leaving for even a second."
"So, I have to use the bathroom in front of you too?"
"You have to write a leave request for going to the toilet, and specify exactly how much time you’ll take. If you take more than a minute, I’ll punish you!"
"Punish me how?"
"I’ll punish you however I want to punish you!"
Qin Feng suddenly thought of something else, so he asked, his curiosity piqued.
"What’s the problem with the land at Moon Lake?"
"That land is somewhat sinister."
"Sinister in what way?"
"Moon Lake, you see, was secured by Zhenqiang Real Estate a decade ago for two hundred billion. By normal estimates, the value of that land should have increased tenfold, worth at least two trillion. After acquiring Moon Lake, Zhenqiang Real Estate has not developed it. They planned to emulate Superman Li, hold it for a few years, and then sell it at a high price.
Who would have known that a sucker would appear five years ago. An investor from out of town was duped by Lu Zhengxiong. He poured in a thousand billion to co-develop Moon Lake with Zhenqiang Real Estate, aiming to turn it into a world-class resort area. The result? Just half a year into the project, problems arose. Batch after batch of workers went in, and batch after batch died, all by suicide. Soon, the word that Moon Lake was haunted spread like wildfire.
The thousand billion went down the drain, and the guy was left with huge debts. He went bankrupt, and in the end, hung himself in the unfinished building. The boss of Zhenqiang Real Estate is Lu Zhengxiong, the Northern Protector of the Loyal Sect, who controls the underworld in the northern parts of Zhonghai.
A year ago, he tried to unload the property of Moon Lake for just a hundred billion, but nobody took the bait. Xue Yuhang actually spent a thousand billion to snap it up, which was just foolish."
"If Moon Lake were not haunted and it was a normal property, could it really be worth two trillion?"
"Of course! Moon Lake used to be in the suburbs, but now, with the expansion of Zhonghai, it’s part of the city center. Besides, the property is huge, large enough to build a city. If it’s developed properly, with its charming scenery and prime location, it could definitely attract attention from the whole city, even the whole country or the whole world, earning at least a hundred billion a year.
Over the years, Lu Zhengxiong invited many experts to deal with the haunted issues at Moon Lake. But in the end, those experts either died, went mad, or turned idiotic. Even those who came out in the best case scenario – not dead, not crazy, not stupid – didn’t utter a word about what happened inside Moon Lake! Lu Zhengxiong wouldn’t spit out this juicy morsel he had in his mouth unless he really had no other choice."
"So, if I can deal with the evil spirit in Moon Lake, this deal my cousin invested in wouldn’t be a loss, would it?"
"You can catch ghosts?"
"As long as my wife needs it, I can do anything."
"Can you give birth to a child?"
"As for that, I can lend my wife a hand. As long as you’re carrying my child, I can guarantee you won’t feel a thing during childbirth. But if it’s someone else’s, I’ll make sure you bleed heavily and die in agony on the delivery table."
"You bastard! Am I that low and cheap, to carry someone else’s child!"
...
At Zhonghai International Airport, a private plane touched down on the tarmac.
Jian Shichao arrived, and he arrived ahead of schedule.
However, he did not inform Xue Yuhang of his arrival.
A Rolls-Royce, which had been waiting at the airport entrance, directly took Jian Shichao to the Star Moon Club.
The Star Moon Club was the largest entertainment club in North City, owned by Lu Zhengxiong.
In a private room of the club, Lu Zhengxiong had arranged for carefully selected beauties to be present.
With an indifferent glance, Jian Shichao said, "Old Lu, just forget about these vulgar women. I didn’t come straight here from the airport to waste time on these worldly women. What’s the situation with the Haiyun Group? Has Xue Yuhang taken the bait?"
"Young Master Jian, everything is proceeding as planned. Xue Yuhang has already forked out 100 billion yuan to secure the land by Moon Lake. I’m also prepared to tempt him with low-interest loans, so he’ll use that land as collateral to borrow another 150 billion yuan at high interest rates. In at most one month, when trouble arises at Moon Lake, I can ask him to repay the loan.
When the time comes, he definitely won’t be able to pay it back, and I can take the land for myself. As for the 150 billion yuan he borrowed, he’ll have to pay back every penny, principal plus interest. Haiyun Group’s market value is only 500 billion yuan. After spending 100 billion yuan purchasing land and owing 150 billion yuan in high-interest debt, not even counting the interest, half of its market value will be gone. If we include the interest, even if Haiyun Group sold everything they have, it wouldn’t be enough to cover the debt."
"Xue Yuhang is a loser and not a concern, but Xue Xiaochan is different, she’s a smart and strong woman. If she realizes that something is amiss, it could complicate matters."
"Didn’t you come to Zhonghai this time specifically to marry Xue Xiaochan and bring her back home?"
"Marry? How can someone marry a strong woman like Xue Xiaochan? Marrying her would be like marrying an ancestor! With a wife like her, could I still go out and play with other women? Even if a woman is beautiful, playing with the same one every day gets boring, right?
I proposed to the Xue Family to marry Xiaochan as a means to take over Haiyun Group. However, that woman is indeed extremely beautiful, truly a national beauty. Though I can’t marry her, sleeping with her is certainly possible."
"If it’s just about taking over Haiyun Group, Young Master Jian, you didn’t really need to personally come to Zhonghai!"
"The Xue Family is just an appetizer. After taking over Xue Family, our next target will be the Qin Family. Qin Dongrui has arrived in Zhonghai, and he will be active here for a long time. So, you need to take over Haiyun Group quickly. Qin Dongrui’s Sanrenhe Group is our ultimate goal!"
"Young Master Jian, the Qin Family is not like the Xue Family; they’re one of the Eight Great Families, just like your Jian Family. Is it really okay to take action against the Qin Family?"
"For the Jian Family to become the foremost family, we must take down the Qin Family! But dealing with the Qin Family is a matter for the future. We can’t rush it and need to plan carefully. Your current task is to take over Haiyun Group.
As for me, I’ll go and have some fun with that idiot Xue Yuhang. I’ll get him to willingly bring his sister to my bed. If I’ve slept with Xue Xiaochan and you still haven’t taken over Haiyun Group, then you can forget about ever thinking of becoming the leader of Loyal Sect. I’ll discard you like a stray dog!"
"You can rest assured, Young Master Jian, I definitely won’t disappoint you."
"Work well for me, and once the Jian Family becomes the first among the families, I’ll make sure you rule Zhonghai! In the future, Zhonghai will be your world, Lu Zhengxiong!"
