A Huge Business Opportunity

Leng Tianhao knew that bold people would inevitably do bold things.

Though this person had not shown himself, the bait he had thrown out was definitely heavyweight.

If anyone said they had insider information worth over two billion, no one would tell them to get lost.

Even if one believed there was a high chance they were a con artist, they would still need to confirm it before they could eat dinner in peace.

Leng Tianhao smiled. "Such a big claim? Heh heh, looks like our family has a distinguished guest today. Cheng Wen, shall we meet him?"

Lu Chengwen thought:

Who are you putting on an act for? You look all high and mighty now, but once this big shot comes in and works his magic, you'll hand over your daughter and your family business to him in one go.

Long Aotian is finally making his move! This is exciting! It looks like the plot is about to get back on track.

Starting today, your daughter will be responsible for undressing him, while you'll be responsible for worshipping him. Once the Leng Family encounters him, it will practically exist in name only. Young Master Long's power base in Northern Country will begin with your Leng Family.

Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen.

She was furious.

That dead idiot is thinking all that nonsense again!

Why would I lower myself to undress some security guard I fired?

My father has been a hero his entire life. What important figure or grand occasion has he never seen? A mere bodyguard could make my father bow his head in submission? And he'd hand me over to him too?

At that moment, Leng Qingqiu became fired up as well.

Fine. I'll see just how capable he is, for you to fear him this much.

Lu Chengwen and Leng Qingqiu each had their own thoughts. Lu Chengwen said, "Mm. Just from his surname, he doesn't sound like an ordinary person. We should meet him. But since you're receiving an honored guest, I'll take my leave first. Let's talk another day. Which way is the back door?"

"Hey!" Leng Tianhao stopped Lu Chengwen. "You're the honored guest! What is he? He's probably some swindler trying to bluff his way in. Let's have a look first."

Things inside the house were one way, while outside was another.

Long Aotian had already washed himself clean and changed into a clean set of clothes.

He stood at the entrance to the Leng Family villa compound.

Hua Xuening stood concealed in the shadows by the wall, bowing with clasped fists. "Young Master, everything over there has been arranged."

"Mm."

Long Aotian frowned deeply.

Jiang Shihan, of all people, had failed to appreciate his favor and insisted on following Lu Chengwen.

Hmph. Women who had never seen the world were ignorant. She thought attaching herself to a rich man was the broad road to her future.

But she was unimportant. What mattered were Leng Qingqiu, Xu Xuejiao, and Chen Mengyun.

Xu Xuejiao seemed somewhat troublesome, Chen Mengyun had not yet had her opening laid out, and the Leng Family was in the midst of turbulent times. Its internal cash flow was already in serious trouble. This was the perfect opportunity to infiltrate them and establish his personal prestige.

"Xuening, learn from this. Open your eyes and watch carefully. This is the first step in my unification of Xue City. The Leng Family will inevitably become mine."

"Xuening will take Young Master as her example, observe carefully, and strive to improve."

"Mm."

Long Aotian nodded in satisfaction.

This Close Guard might be a little slow-witted, but no one knew that she was actually a peerless genius, born with unique Inherited Power.

Given time, this girl would become an unparalleled master among masters, and through her long-term cooperation with him, she would witness this young master's intelligence and breadth of mind.

Her looks and figure were both top-tier too.

Today, he would let her know why he was the God of War, and why so many powerful martial artists at the border gathered around him and bowed in submission.

Just then, the gates opened, and a man who looked like a butler walked out with a smile. "Mr. Long, correct? My master invites you in."

When he arrived in the living room, Leng Tianhao was already seated on the sofa.

But Leng Tianhao was far from courteous. He sat grandly in the Head Seat, glanced at Long Aotian, and said, "Mr. Long, correct? Please, sit."

"You're too kind."

Long Aotian sat down naturally and elegantly crossed one leg over the other.

His appearance could be ordinary, and his clothes could be plain.

But as the Male Protagonist, his bearing absolutely could not be commonplace.

Even wearing ragged clothes, wherever he sat, he had to possess thirty percent dignity, thirty percent confidence, thirty percent dominance, plus ten percent composure.

Leng Tianhao said, "You said you had a deal worth two billion to discuss, young man? To be frank, I, Leng Tianhao, have seen countless people who talked big, but I still agreed to see you. I'll give you thirty seconds. If you cannot provide any useful information within thirty seconds, then I'll have to see you out."

"Hahaha!" Long Aotian threw back his head and laughed.

"Mr. Leng, I'm afraid you still don't know that the Leng Family has reached a critical point where destruction is imminent."

"Oh?" Leng Tianhao said, "Cherish your time, Mr. Long. Those words won't scare me."

Long Aotian thought, You're still acting tough? I'll see how long you can keep it up.

Once I reveal this earth-shattering secret, I guarantee you'll wet your pants on the spot.

Long Aotian said, "As far as I know, the Leng Family's Qianfeng Group was already on the verge of bankruptcy several years ago. Fortunately, the genius girl Leng Qingqiu was ordered to take charge in a crisis, and with a godlike series of moves at a subsidiary, she recovered enormous economic losses."

"From then on, you discovered her talent and acknowledged her ability, which was why you allowed her to take complete control of the group until now."

"President Leng has indeed achieved quite a lot in the years since she took office. If it were anyone else, the Leng Family would have collapsed long ago. But Miss Leng Qingqiu worked tirelessly, and with a Lu Family lapdog helping her at every turn, Qianfeng Group not only avoided collapse, but even found room to breathe in desperate circumstances and began turning a profit."

Leng Tianhao kept a straight face and flicked at a crease in his trousers. "Tell me something I don't know. Your time is running out."

"Fine," Long Aotian said. "Mr. Leng may not know that although Miss Leng Qingqiu is exceptionally capable and brilliantly talented, she can no longer bear your high-pressure control. Therefore, she is desperate to prove herself. She has painstakingly amassed more than two billion in cash, and she needs a project—a project that can give the Leng Family a spectacular comeback. Unfortunately."

Long Aotian sighed. "She is beset by troubles both inside and out, so she has acted too hastily. The project she is about to undertake with Jiao Shiheng is actually a bottomless pit. Jiao Shiheng will swindle away all her money and flee with the more than two billion. His escape is not the main issue. If the Leng Family loses more than two billion in cash at such a critical time, I'm afraid it will never have another chance to recover."

After Long Aotian finished speaking, he looked at his watch and said smugly, "Exactly thirty seconds."

Stunned, aren't you? Dumbfounded, aren't you?

Wasn't that unexpected? Didn't it scare you into a cold sweat?

Without me, your Leng Family wouldn't even get to eat shit while it was hot. Once someone cuts off that more than two billion in funding, a group as large as yours will instantly fall into chaos.

Once your cash flow is cut off, who will lend you a hand? Who has the ability and courage to help you?

No one.

It's like a bank. Once rumors emerge that it is going bankrupt, it will almost certainly end up bankrupt.

Because everyone will think it's going bankrupt and rush to withdraw their money immediately.

At that point, even if you could have held on, you won't be able to.

People all over the world will come asking you for money. No one will bring you any.

I really am the Leng Family's savior!

Leng Tianhao stood up without saying a word.

Long Aotian stood up as well, smiling.

Long Aotian thought, Here it comes. He's going to grab my hand and weep tears of gratitude!

He's going to speak to me from the heart and ask how he can get through this crisis!

He's going to start seeing me in a new light, have Leng Qingqiu bring me back into Qianfeng Group, and let me join hands with her to revive Qianfeng Group!

But Leng Tianhao merely turned around and tossed out a sentence. "See him out. What a waste of time."

Long Aotian was dumbfounded.

What kind of temper does this old man have? Was I unclear, or did he not understand?

Hey! Your family's more than two billion in cash is about to go wrong! You... with something this huge, you're not going to thank me?

The butler walked over to him. "Mr. Long, this way, please."

Long Aotian refused to accept it. "Mr. Leng, do you not believe what I said? As long as you carefully examine Jiao Shiheng's project, you will definitely find the problem. There is an insider within Qianfeng Group. Someone on your review team falsified data to deceive you. If you ignore this, the Leng Family will face an enormous risk of collapse!"

At that very moment.

Using the restroom as an excuse, Lu Chengwen was already making his escape.

Lu Chengwen struggled to climb onto the top of the wall, painstakingly keeping his body balanced.

In his heart, he cursed Long Aotian with every oath he could think of.

Long Aotian! You bastard, you really are a dog!

You could've come early or late, but you came while I was here. You want to chase girls, then chase girls. Why did you come to her house looking for her father-in-law?

Just as he was about to jump down, he saw a simply dressed young woman standing beneath the wall.

Lu Chengwen was startled.

Holy shit, it's Hua Xuening!

Hua Xuening heard him curse her young master and felt indignant. With a flick of her finger, she sent a small stone striking the back of Lu Chengwen's knee. Lu Chengwen had only just managed to climb up, yet with a scream, he fell back down.

Hua Xuening was displeased, but even more puzzled.

That guy clearly didn't speak just now. Why did it feel like I could hear what he was thinking?

Was I hallucinating?

Inside, Long Aotian was already furious beyond measure.

He refused to leave. He had clearly provided immensely valuable information, yet not only did they fail to thank him, they wanted to drive him away? What kind of family was this Leng Family?

Seeing that he was unwilling to accept it, Leng Tianhao calmly said, "I don't mind telling you that my son-in-law, Lu Chengwen, already handled what you mentioned. When they signed the contract yesterday, my son-in-law beat up Jiao Shiheng. The funds are still in our hands now. Mr. Long, I'm afraid you've underestimated our Leng Family. A mere Jiao Shiheng, even if he planted an insider within our group, how could he possibly deceive the eyes of the Leng Family?"

Long Aotian was stunned.

It was handled!?

Lu Chengwen beat him up!?

The information I worked so hard to obtain was meant to be brought out at a critical moment so I could show off...

Lu Chengwen, damn you! You stole my thunder!

Long Aotian did not want to admit defeat and gritted his teeth.

Damn it, in for a penny, in for a pound. I originally wanted to proceed step by step, but now it looks like circumstances won't allow it.

"Oh, if that is the case, then may I ask what use there is in keeping more than two billion in cash on hand?"

"That need not concern you, Mr. Long. Please leave."

"Wait!" Long Aotian said. "I have another piece of information I can share!"

"Oh? You'd better tell me something I don't know."

Long Aotian said, "Dayu Group will build a massive amusement city in Xue City, with a total cost of more than thirty billion! Mr. Leng, did you know about this?"

Only then did Leng Tianhao begin to look at the man seriously.

This sort of business intelligence was not something an ordinary person could obtain!

Yet Leng Tianhao remained extremely calm. "So what?"

Long Aotian said, "They believe they have kept it sufficiently secret, but I still learned of it. If we use this more than two billion to acquire that plot of land first, heh heh. When the time comes, if they want to build the amusement city, they will have to buy that land..."

Leng Tianhao was startled.

This truly was an enormous business opportunity!

Long Aotian said, "But we do not have much time. We should act as soon as possible."

Leng Tianhao immediately stepped forward and shook Long Aotian's hand. "Mr. Long, I offended you earlier. Please come to the study so we may talk. Someone, serve tea in the study!"

Just then, one of the servants rushed in. "Master, this is bad! Young Master Lu, he..."

"What happened to him?"

"He fell from the base of the wall!"

Long Aotian sneered.

Kid, today will be the day you and I settle this once and for all in the Leng Family.
