After All Those Twists and Turns, What Was Going On?!
Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.
Just now, when Wu Chen dialed the number, the Old Blade noticed that the number Wu Chen entered was particularly long because it included the international long-distance code used for international calls. The Old Blade naturally recognized Myanmar's long-distance code. Who in the Golden Flower Group was he calling?
No matter who you call, the one who can make the final decision is Kun Han, and it will cost $100 million.
The old man stared wide-eyed at Wu Chen, and there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, as if he was also stunned. It had nothing to do with whether he had a strong mentality or not; it was mainly because the $100 million Wu Chen mentioned was too damn exaggerated. Anyone who heard that would be stunned for at least ten seconds.
Who are you?
A deep, yet robust voice came through Wu Chen's phone. It was in Mandarin with a heavy accent; it was Kun Han himself who answered.
Kun Han Huaxia Ming Duan Wenhan, male, 61 years old this year, was born in the northern mountainous area of Mian State. He is of mixed Chinese and Burmese descent. His mother is a Tan ethnic minority from Myanmar, and his father is Chinese.
In the 1940s, due to war and other reasons, his father left his homeland for northern Myanmar and stayed there.
Wu Chen speaks Burmese, but he knows that Kun Han Huaxia speaks Mandarin very well, so there's no need to communicate in Burmese.
Have you heard of me, Wu Chen?
Wu Chen replied.
Wu Chen muttered to himself, his voice suddenly becoming heavy, "The Old Blade has made a mistake."
The Old Blade didn't report every job he took to Kunhai, but if it was a job given by the Ding Family, or involved any major family in China, Old Blade would say that Kun Han would look into it. He wouldn't take on just any job and wouldn't touch people of too high a status.
Jinhua Group wants to do business and make money, and also do business with the mainland. Leaving aside illegal activities, legal business is also very important. Every year, far too many domestic businessmen go to Northern Myanmar to buy jadeite rough. If Jinhua really goes too far and angers those powerful families, not to mention anything else, he can forget about doing business in the mainland.
Smuggling is illegal, so it's easier to crack down on it if it can be detected. On the other hand, it's easier to do something legal through connections and relationships.
After receiving the task from Jiang Chuang, Old Blade immediately called Kun Han. It was just a routine mention, since Wu Chen wasn't an important figure in any major family; he was just the boyfriend of the eldest granddaughter of the Li Family Heir. So Lao Dao was confident that there was no problem with messing with Wu Chen.
Is the Old Blade still alive?
Kun hesitated for a moment, then asked again.
He was very calm.
Alive?
I didn't kill him.
Wu Chen replied.
$100 million.
Kunhan asked again, and then said, "Do you think I might give it to you?"
Don't you think that's too much?
Kun Han seriously considered the matter of redeeming Old Blade.
Is $100 million a lot?
He came to kill me, but I caught him.
I didn't kill him; I was being very polite. I just wanted money from you.
Are there many?
Wu Zhen asked in a very casual tone.
The Old Blade's commission this time is a total of 3 million US dollars. I'll add another 2 million US dollars, making a total of 5 million US dollars. This is the limit I can accept.
You escorted the Old Blade to the border, exchanging money for the man.
Kun Han made his statement definitively clear.
Kun Han is not a man with a good temper. The reason he can calmly negotiate with Wu Chen is not only because he is composed and shrewd, but also because he is in the wrong in this matter.
As Wu Chen said, Old Blade was captured by Wu Chen when he went to kill Wu Chen. If Old Blade was suddenly captured by one of Jin Hua's rivals and still dared to ask Kun Han for money, that would be kidnapping and demanding ransom, and Kun Han would definitely be furious.
Now it's completely different. Kun Han is a soldier and a businessman. He has no grudge against Wu Chen. He just doesn't know that Old Blade was arrested because he was paid to do something wrong. Wu Chen didn't kill Old Blade and was even willing to return him. Considering the value of Old Blade, Kun Han is willing to pay for his acquaintance's services. However, he will never accept Wu Chen's exorbitant demands.
Furthermore, there was another crucial reason why Kun Han was able to calmly discuss things with Wu Chen. He could imagine that if Old Blade, who had brought so many men, failed, then the people who captured them were definitely not just Wu Chen himself; it must have been the eldest grandson of the Li Family who had made the move. He knew very little about Li Ruotai, only that East Sea was Li Ruotai's territory, and that was enough. This allowed Kunhan to believe that Lao De was actually in the hands of the core third generation of the Li Family. He genuinely didn't want to get involved in the messy affairs of large families, and the older he got, the less he wanted to. He wanted to settle things quickly with money, even if it meant losing some money; getting rid of Jinhua as soon as possible was the most sensible choice.
Do you want to know who killed Ang Tun?
Wu Chen suddenly asked, the turn of events quite abrupt.
Tun, do you know?
Kunhai's tone suddenly changed.
I can tell you, your nephew Wu Chen said it directly.
After recounting the entire story of Ang Tun's murder, Wu Chen brought up the matter of Wang Ruida's murder.
As far as Wu Chen knew, the Old Blade priest agreed to kill Wang Ruida for three reasons: first, Ding Ruilong had raised the price; second, Wang Ruida's death had nothing to do with the conflict between the powerful families; and third, it was impossible to find out.
No risk.
Having money also allows you to maintain a relationship with the Ding Family, which is very useful for small matters that can be handled with a simple word.
Therefore, Kun Han agreed to let Old Blade kill Wang Ruida. This was something that could not possibly be leaked. Only three people in the world knew the inside story: Ding Ruilong, Old Blade, Kun Han, and Wu Chen.
Old Blade told you that Kunhan's breathing had become heavier.
Old Blade was forced to reveal the truth. If this matter reached the Wang Family and Wang Family retaliated, it would affect Golden Flower Group's business in China and cost a significant amount of money. Did he really need to say it?
Wu Chen chuckled and countered, "If you can find out that Ding Runlong killed Ang Tun, why do you think I wouldn't be able to find out that Ding Runlong hired someone to kill Wang Ruida?"
Kun Han believed Wu Chen's words immediately because he knew that the possibility of Old Blade being forced to confess was extremely low. He thought that there was probably a problem on the Ding Family's side, and that Ding Ruilong had told his acquaintances about it. Now that Wu Chen knew that the Li Family Heir should also know.
Kunhan has a very strong thinking ability. He has survived to this day and grown into a powerful force in northern Mian Kingdom. He must have his own wisdom. He has already thought of all kinds of possibilities and consequences.
My feud with Ding Runlong is irreconcilable.
Wu Chen continued.
I will let Wang Family know about Wang Ruida's matter.
You are threatening me.
Kun Han responded with a chorus of questions.
If I threaten you, do you think I'll tell you about Ang Tun?
Wu Chen smiled and countered with a question, "So, you're Kun?" His voice paused, as if he'd realized, "You want me to help you take down the Ding Family?"
No, your business is your business, and my business is my business. We are not partners.
Wu Chen denied it.
I'm just telling you the facts. Wang Family won't let this go, and Li Jia will distance herself from the situation. I won't even tell you many things, because I know you're not interested. You just want to avoid trouble and focus on running your jade business. Whether you kick the Ding Family when they're down is none of my business.
Kunhan understood Wu Chen's suggestive words.
I don't need the $100 million, but I hope Old Blade can stay in the East Sea and work for me. I have high hopes for his abilities. If you agree, then Old Blade can immediately sever ties with your Jinhua. I will arrange Wang Ruida's death, and it will have nothing to do with your Jinhua.
Wu Chen smiled and said, "How about it? Think about it?"
He directly asked for the people.
As he spoke, Wu Chen glanced at Old Blade, Old Blade stared at Wu Chen blankly.
What's going on?
After all that going around in circles, what's the final outcome?
Kun Han was also a bit confused. Wu Chen had made an exorbitant demand of him, told him the truth about his nephew Ang Tun's murder, and even hinted at threats, which gave Kun Han a real headache.
How can Jingfan resolve this?
Originally, this was just a simple case of an old Daoist Old Blade taking a job to kill someone. The person he killed wasn't anyone important; he was just doing a job, getting paid, and it would be done in a few days with no follow-up trouble.
But now, Wu Chen hasn't been killed, Old Blade has been arrested, and the Li Family knows the inside story of Wang Ruida's murder. The Wang Family, Li Family, and Ding Family might cause trouble, and Jinhua Group will be dragged into it. What should we do?
He could have killed them to silence them, including Old Blade Wu Chen, but the Li Family siblings should have known about it. He wouldn't have dared to kill them. If he could only target those two, there would be no point in harming anyone else.
Wang Family knew that the Ding Family would definitely retaliate, and they might also take revenge on the Golden Flower Group as a result. What should she do then?
There was nothing Kun Han could do for the time being. No matter how powerful he was in northern Fujian, he was nothing within China. If he went head-to-head with the powerful families in China, it would likely ruin his business there, causing a sharp drop in his income in the short term. He might not even be able to support his soldiers anymore. If that happened, other warlords in the north might join forces against him.
Actually, this is a matter that can be big or small; it might not be that bad, but it could also be really frustrating.
Kun Han wanted to solve the problem, but to his utter surprise and bewilderment, Wu Chen seemed to have gone to great lengths to make him understand these things and then even provided him with a solution.
As long as the Old Blade is removed from the Golden Flower Group, Wu Chen can make all the arrangements clearly.
Moreover, Wu Chen wants to bring down Ding Ruilong and the Ding Family, and Evolution Group and the Ding Family are now enemies. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Although Wu Chen said he wouldn't cooperate, their goals were the same, so it was an excellent choice no matter how you looked at it. Kun Han could also sense that Wu Chen seemed to really value Old Blade, not even wanting $100 million; it felt like a transaction.
As long as Kun Han agrees to let go of the Old Blade priest, Wu Chenyu Li Family will remove Golden Flower Group from their positions when they are dealing with the Ding Family.
Even the Ding Family doesn't know much about the relationship between the Old Blade and Jinhua Group. They only know that the Old Blade Daoist priest has a deep connection with Jinhua Group. So whether Wang Ruida's death can be traced back to Golden Flower Group depends on how things turn out.
While Kun Han remained silent, Wu Chen said that what he said was true. The Ding Family didn't need to know so much; it was all Ding Ruilong's doing, and Ding Ruilong only hired people to kill.
If everything you've said is true, then I agree.
Kun Han finally spoke.
Kun Han agreed, and Wu Chen didn't say anything more. Instead, he reached out and handed his phone to Old Blade, who had been sitting on the sofa to the side. Old Blade was still a little stunned. He paused for a moment before leaning over to take the phone and holding it to his ear to calm down.
The Daoist army had been listening the whole time. Kun Han took a moment to react before asking how the city had fallen, explaining that they couldn't defeat the enemy.
The two started chatting immediately.
Wu Chen stood up at this moment, went to the Balcony, put his hands in his suit pockets, looked out the window, and calculated the time; the fire truck should be arriving soon.
In fact, Wu Chen was expressing that he didn't want to hear what the two were saying. Although he could still hear Old Blade's words, he definitely couldn't hear the voices on the phone.
He didn't need to listen. Wu Chen had given Kun Han the best choice, and he understood the Old Blade's personality and thoughts, so he didn't care.
Wu Chen still didn't want to get involved with warlords on the borders of small countries like Kun Han.
Of course, this did not prevent Wu Chen from orchestrating and pushing forward his plan to have the Golden Flower Group take action against Ding Ruilong. Once the mass attack on the Ding Family began, the Golden Flower Group would definitely strike hard when the Ding family was down.
A few minutes later, Jiang Chuan confirmed that it was indeed Ding Ruilong.
The Old Blade mentioned Jiang Chuan when he was referring to Ang Tun's death.
The Old Blade's words were enough to convince Kun Hai that what Wu Chen said was true.
Did you decide you didn't want to do it anymore and bring it up yourself?
Or does Wu Chen want to use you?
He brought it up himself.
Kun Han finally asked Old Blade, Old Blade remained silent for a moment before replying, "I want to change my life. I guess I'm just tired."
He lied. Wu Chen had never told him this before, and he had never mentioned leaving the Golden Flower Group. But he had indeed thought about getting out of there a long time ago. He had already made enough money. He was over 40 years old. Although he was still extremely strong, he was long past the age where he should personally fight on the front lines. But getting out of there wasn't that easy. He was too deeply involved.
In fact, the Old Blade always knew that the final outcome for people like him was usually that he would fail in a certain task and be killed in return.
The older you are, the higher this likelihood becomes.
Now that the Old Blade finally had a legitimate opportunity to extricate himself, he naturally claimed it was his own idea.
Wu Chen was still standing by the Balcony window, enjoying the view.
"Mr. Wu, "the Old Blade's voice suddenly came. Wu Chen turned around and saw that the Old Blade had already put his phone on the table and hung up while playing. It must have been Kun Han who hung up. He had nothing more to say to Wu Chen.
That's very clear. Congratulations, you're free.
Wu Chen laughed.
Mr. Wu, I, Old Blade, would like to say that I should focus on recuperating and recovering, and we can talk about it later.
Wu Chen interrupted.
You're right again. If we capture Jiang Chuan and have them secretly bring the person to the East Sea, I'll have a use for him.
Old Blade hesitation, two minutes later, the sound of an ambulance finally rang out outside.
Li Ruotai arrived in an ambulance from a private hospital.
Wu Chen, the old Daoist Old Blade, went downstairs. Under Li Ruotai's shocked gaze, the Old Blade politely said goodbye to Wu Chen and then got into the ambulance and lay down.
He really pushed himself through all that commotion today; his wounds need to be treated again.
Li Ruotai wanted to ask Wu Chen, but Wu Chen had no intention of saying much to Li Ruotai. He missed the opportunity; it was his own doing.
However, Wu Chen still whispered some instructions to Li Ruota, telling him to go back to the hospital with the fire truck, and also telling Li Ruotai how to arrange the hospital's treatment of Old Blade and how to deal with Old Blade.
Li Ruotai sensed that his brother-in-law didn't want to talk to him too much, and thought that his brother-in-law was angry, so he didn't dare to ask Wu Chen what he wanted to say, and just agreed to everything.
A few minutes later, Wu Chen, wearing a baseball cap, walked alone through the long alley, reached the other end of the alley, and returned to his Lamborghini.
Wu Chen had just started driving when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Li Ruobing calling.
Connected.
Nailed it?
Li Ruobing asked directly.
It's clear that Li Ruotai has already called him.
Yes, it's done.
Wu Chen smiled.
Are you coming to the company?
Li Ruobing asked again.
Didn't you get enough rest after going home to sleep?
Wu Chen, however, said...
Okay, then you should get some rest.
Li Ruobing didn't say much and hung up the phone.
Wu Chen stepped on the gas and drove home.
He really meant it when he said he was going home to sleep this time.
Wu Chen only slept for a little over 3 hours this morning, and only slept for a little over 4 hours around noon after returning home. Wu Chen's normal sleep schedule is 9 hours, not to mention the great exertion he experienced last night.
Wu Chen was able to rest for a while, if Li Ruotai hadn't disturbed him.
Around 4 PM, Wu Chen arrived home, tidied up briefly, and then lay down for a nap.
Before Wu Chen knew it, it was past 5 p. m., and he was still asleep when someone opened the Villa's door.
The visitor entered the living room, then went upstairs to the second floor, gently pushed open the bedroom door, walked to the bedside, sat down, and turned to lie down.
The person who came propped up his head with his hand, lying on his side, looking at Wu Chen was fast asleep.
Wu Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed the person, rolling over before opening his eyes. He looked at the woman in his arms and asked with a smile, "What are you doing?"
Is it Li Ruobing?
This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
