Chapter 1869: Make the Fake Act a Reality
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Their conversation was short and concise. They hung up after finishing their business.
Ning Che was startled. “Old Master Lu is too well-informed. He actually received the news so quickly.”
“I’m guessing that before Elder Lu took action, he had already planted people around the various large families. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so well-informed.” Qiu Yuluo said.
“Perhaps Elder Lu really has a way to deal with them.”
“Not necessarily.” Ning Che said.
“We can all but confirm that he’s planted spies, but no one knows if he can actually deal with them. We have to be more serious. When he needs it, we have to help Elder Lu get rid of all these obstacles.”
“But Elder Lu has already spoken. We have to hurry back.”
Lin Yi nodded. “I’ll visit the Zhou family tomorrow. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to Yanjing after.”
“Okay.”
After dinner that night, the three of them did not return to the Ritz Carlton. Instead, they found another hotel to rest in.
Lin Yi sent the two of them back, then found a bathhouse with Song Jinmin and prepared to get a massage.
“You’re going back to Yanjing tomorrow?” Song Jinmin asked. “You’re not done here, are you?”
“Lu Beichen asked me to return.” Lin Yi said, “Speaking of Team 4, he told he could handle it himself and won’t let me interfere.”
“He’s probably afraid of implicating you,” Song Jinmin said.
“Although he has a high position and authority, it’s not certain if he can handle this matter well.”
“That’s what 1 thought, so I’m a little worried.”
“What’s the use of worrying? Just provide me with the specific information, and I’ll go over and kill them all.”
“Big brother, can you keep a low profile?” Lin Yi said with a face full of black lines.
“If you really kill them all, I probably won’t live long either.”
“I hate it when you people keep dithering. It’s so frustrating.”
“If you were really that tough, why did my mom have to flip the table?”
Song Jinmin smacked his lips. “Let’s change the subject.”
“Do you need to prepare? I’m planning to handle the Black Snake matter as soon as 1 return to Yanjing.”
“I do need some preparation time. Give me two days,” Song Jinmin said.
“At your level, you still need two days?”
“Even though I’m at A-class, a single artillery shell can still kill me,” Song Jinmin replied.
“This isn’t the island. 1 need to be careful.”
“Fine, you handle the remaining details. We have to deal with Black Snake thoroughly.”
Puahhh…
With a slow drag on his cigarette, Song Jinmin said. “I don’t think you can keep avoiding this. Even if you deal with Black Snake, you’ll eventually have to return to Zhonghai. The issues with those women will still need to be addressed.”
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yi said calmly.
“There have been a lot of problems lately. 1 need to think about how to handle this.”
“It’s such a hassle. 1 do have a method that could solve everything once and for all.”
“Let’s hear it.”
“Let’s make the fake act a reality.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Let’s find a secluded place, and I’ll kill you. That way, it’s all settled.”
“Are you serious? Is this your idea of a solution?” Lin Yi cursed. “Do you believe my mom would kill you if she found out about this?”
“I was just joking to lighten the mood,” Song Jinmin said.
“In my opinion, if the soft approach doesn’t work, use the hard one. Force the issue. They wouldn’t want their children to grow up without a father. You get what I mean, right?”
“That’s a really mean move.”
“I learned it from your dad.”
“He’s really a bad person.”
“We’ve reached an unprecedented consensus on this.”
It was late at night, but neither of them left. After two hours, they fell asleep in the private room.
The next morning, the two of them went for breakfast together. Lin Yi returned to the hotel, picked up Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che, and took a taxi to the Zhou family’s house.
Compared to the first time he came, the Zhou family looked a little livelier.
More than a dozen cars were parked in the yard, and there were workers tidying the lawn.
After so many days, the Zhou family’s situation seemed to be improving.
In the Zhou family’s villa, Zhou Xicheng was having breakfast with his family. The dishes were simple, but the ingredients used were expensive.
There were four people at the table. Other than Zhou Xicheng, there was also his wife, Fan Shuxian, Fan Jiayi, and Zhou Yuan.
He came here today mainly for company matters and to see how the two of them were doing.
“Elder Aunt, you should eat more,” Fan Jiayi said.
“You can’t eat so little every day.”
“Listen to the child and eat more.” Zhou Xicheng comforted her.
“I don’t have much of an appetite. I’ll eat later.” Fan Shuxian stood up and said.
“You guys chat first. 1’11 go out and sit.”
With the help of the servants, Fan Shuxian walked out of the villa and prepared to go to the courtyard to relax.
Facing this situation, Zhou Xicheng could not say anything. She could only let her slowly adjust. No one else could help.
“Uncle, what do you think about the water park project on the sea?” Zhou Yuan asked.
“The idea is quite good, but it needs to be done carefi;;y to reach a level where it can compete with Disney. Otherwise, it’ll just be a joke,” Zhou Xicheng replied.
“This project has already been halted by Zhonghai authorities. How can we proceed?”
Fan Jiayi didn’t oppose the project outright. This was just a facade. Once the contract was signed, Zhou Yan planned to transfer it to his own company.
This was something she didn’t want to see happen.
“Halted?” Zhou Xicheng’s expression changed slightly. He hadn’t anticipated this.
As long as all the contract procedures were complete, something like this shouldn’t have happened.
“I don’t know the details, but it’s been stopped.”
Zhou Yuan said, feeling a surge of anger. This obstacle kept ruining his plans time and again!
“Uncle, here’s the situation,” Zhou Yuan continued calmly.
“There were some issues before, but they will be resolved soon. No need to worry, it’s just a misunderstanding.”
“Good, as long as it can be resolved,” Zhou Xicheng said.
“Otherwise, the initial investment would be wasted.”
Zhou Xicheng did not comment too much on this matter. He did not have the energy to worry too much about this.
“Uncle, since you don’t have any other opinions, I have a document that 1 need you to sign.”
Zhou Yuan took out a thick stack of documents. This was the real purpose of his trip!
Once Zhou Xicheng signed this contract, his plan would be half successful!
Zhou Xicheng did not think too much about it and took the pen from him.
Zhou Yuan’s heart was pounding nervously.
If Uncle took a closer look at the contract, he would discover something fishy.
However, this was the most important part.. If anything went wrong, he would be in trouble!
