Chapter 429:Shifting Sands in Xuecheng
Long Aotian snorted coldly: "Zhao Ritian, you're not dead yet?"
Zhao Ritian said: "People who dare to use Tian (Heaven) in their name are not simple. My return to Xuecheng this time is precisely to tell you, in Xuecheng, there can only be my piece of heaven!"
Long Aotian laughed heartily.
Remembering the several struggles with him back in Nanmian, he had always given his all, yet could only fight him to a draw.
But times were different now; he was already a master of Tiansimen.
A Tiansimen fighting a Shangsimen... was really just child's play.
"Zhao Ritian, you really don't have a brain. You weren't my opponent in Nanmian, yet you dare come to Xuecheng to find me?"
"Cut the crap. I ask you, are you Xu Xuejiao's boyfriend?"
Long Aotian raised an eyebrow: "Yes, that's right."
"You are determined to marry Xu Xuejiao?"
"Of course."
"No matter who obstructs, you won't let go?"
"Nonsense."
"The one who took my seven marriage certificates was you!"
"Exactly! Wait a minute... what marriage certificates what? Almost let you slip past!"
"Hmph, dare to do but not dare to admit." Zhao Ritian said: "Let's fight it out. If you win against me, I'll turn around and leave. If you lose... return the marriage certificates to me!"
Long Aotian looked back at Luo Shiyin and Zhuge Xiaohua; both girls shook their heads.
Long Aotian said: "I have urgent matters now, need to go out first. You just wait here for me, I'll come back and kill you."
"I can't wait anymore!" Zhao Ritian said: "I must kill you today, start dating Xu Xuejiao tomorrow, get married the day after, hold my son the day after that..."
Long Aotian looked at him: "Hold your son in three days? Is that son damn well yours?"
"I can't care about that much anymore! Bring it on!"
Long Aotian sighed: "Just leveled up, good to practice on you."
Zhao Ritian shouted loudly: "Long Aotian, watch this! Renzhe Shen Gui (Benevolent One Returns to God)!"
Long Aotian glared angrily, also shouted loudly: "Wang Ba Zhi Qi (Tyrant King Aura)!"
Bang—!
Zhao Ritian flew directly backward, crashing into the roadside guardrail, denting the guardrail, his body embedded in the dent, arms draped on either side, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, eyes staring at Long Aotian in shock.
Long Aotian looked at his hand, suddenly covered his face, crouched down, and started crying.
Zhuge Xiaohua and Luo Shiyin were both懵了 (dumbfounded/confused).
What's wrong with the Young Master? Why is he crying after winning?
Defeating Zhao Ritian in one move, shouldn't he be happy?
Zhuge Xiaohua said: "Young Master, what's wrong?"
Long Aotian stood up, face full of tears: "I... I don't know, I'm just... too excited."
Luo Shiyin was puzzled: "Exci... excited about what?"
Long Aotian cried until he gasped: "It's been so long since I felt this way, so long. Recently, I've always been getting beaten up. Whoever comes beats me, whoever catches me gives me a beating. Just... this feeling of being superior, defeating an opponent in one move, I haven't experienced it for a long time..."
Zhuge Xiaohua comforted: "Young Master, don't be too sad... don't be too happy, be careful it's not good for your body."
"Mm-hmm, hmm?"
Luo Shiyin said: "Xiaohua means, you are the God of War of Nanjiang! This kind of scene is too normal for you."
"Right! You're right!" Long Aotian clenched his fists: "Haven't we seen this kind of small scene many times? Just defeating a Zhao Ritian, what's there to make a fuss about!? Ah!? Wuwuwu..."
Long Aotian knelt on the ground, raising both fists: "I did it! I did it again! I finally changed back into that invincible Long Aotian, without rivals among my peers! Ah wuwuwu..."
Zhao Ritian clutched his chest, struggled to stand up: "You... you are Tiansimen?"
Hearing these four words, Long Aotian thought, Hey!
His mood was so good it felt like taking off.
Turned around, wiped away tears, eyes shining brightly: "That's right! I am Long Aotian, a god-like man! Kid, Xuecheng is not a place where trash like you can thrive. Even I, Long Aotian, had to endure countless beatings to reach today, let alone a young fool like you!? Competing with me for the Xu family's eldest miss, eat shit!"
Zhao Ritian felt it was incredible.
"Impossible... this is impossible... how long has it been since our last fight? How could you possibly progress so quickly?"
Zhuge Xiaohua said: "What kind of heroic figure is our Young Master? How could a second-rate fool like you understand? I advise you to leave Xuecheng quickly, don't cause trouble anymore, otherwise... hmph, running into our Young Master is fine, but if you run into Lu Chengwen, I guarantee you'll die even more miserably!"
Long Aotian was taken aback: "Xiaohua, are you... praising me?"
"Mm."
"Doesn't sound like it."
Luo Shiyin quickly said: "Zhao Ritian, my Young Master doesn't change his name or surname. His surname is Long, name Aotian. This villa is our residence. If you seek revenge, feel free to come. Our Young Master is unparalleled in heroism, absolutely not afraid of you!"
Long Aotian pointed at Luo Shiyin, told Zhuge Xiaohua: "This is the correct way to praise me, learn from it."
Zhao Ritian gritted his teeth: "Damn it, stole my marriage certificates, took my script to enjoy everything that should be mine in Xuecheng! I swear, I will come find you again!"
Zhao Ritian turned, about to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
"What?"
Long Aotian held his fist near his mouth: "Why am I suddenly a bit reluctant to let you go? How about this, you act pretentious again, we'll go again."
Zhao Ritian's eyes widened: "Are you sick? I can't beat you, I admit it!"
Zhuge Xiaohua explained: "Our Young Master hasn't defeated anyone in one move for a long time. Just pretend once, be good, just once. How about this, you pretend once, we give you a thousand yuan."
Zhao Ritian was stunned.
These people... are they insulting me?
"I warn you, don't push people too far!"
Long Aotian immediately said: "Good! Since you are so arrogant, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Ai wo ni ma—ah—!" (Vulgar exclamation expressing frustration/pain)
"How was it Young Master? Did the feeling come back?"
Long Aotian said excitedly: "I feel, I'm getting more and more proficient."
Zhuge Xiaohua ran over, helped up the heavily injured Zhao Ritian, stuffed a thousand yuan into his pocket: "Brother, well done. Pretend one more time, two thousand this time!"
Zhao Ritian pushed her away: "Get lost! You bunch of perverts!"
Long Aotian's face darkened, suppressing a smile, forcing a deep tone, pointed at Zhao Ritian: "You dare curse my subordinate, you have already found the path to death!"
Zhao Ritian was dumbfounded: "Your ancestors..."
Bang—!
Long Aotian kept a straight face: "You actually insulted my ancestors. Although I don't have ancestors (in the immediate sense, maybe referring to 'da ye' - uncle/grandpa), I still love them very much. You have already found the path to death!"
Bang—!
"You... bastard..."
Long Aotian kept a straight face: "Insolent words, you have already found the path to death!"
Bang—!
Zhao Ritian lay on the ground, unable to speak anymore, just waved his hand feebly.
Long Aotian kept a straight face: "Hmph, actually disregarding this Young Master, you have already found the path to death!"
Bang—!
Zhao Ritian had already fainted.
Long Aotian kept a straight face: "You actually... you actually... you have already found the path to death!"
Luo Shiyin stopped him: "Young Master, that's enough."
Long Aotian looked aggrieved: "Let me enjoy it twice more, this feeling has been gone too long, I don't want to stop at all."
"Young Master Huo has been waiting for you for a long time."
Long Aotian reluctantly looked at Zhao Ritian's "corpse": "Brother, come find me again another day! Hey!"
Long Aotian pointed at him, grinning: "You have already found the path to death, oh."
...
Lu Chengwen walked through the Houde Group building. A business team approached from the front.
The man leading the team immediately looked very excited upon seeing Lu Chengwen: "Boss Lu!?"
Lu Chengwen was taken aback; he didn't recognize this person at all.
But out of business etiquette politeness, Lu Chengwen quickly smiled and shook his hand.
"Pleasure to meet you."
The two shook hands warmly.
The man said: "Boss Lu is glowing recently, looks like you haven't earned little money! Hahaha!"
Lu Chengwen smiled and said: "Just small stuff. Your Excellency is..."
"This is our first meeting."
Lu Chengwen thought internally: Is this person sick!? First meeting, why are you so enthusiastic?
That person smiled and said: "My surname is Yang, doing some small business. Thanks to Dasheng Group's care, recent profits have been good. Although Boss Lu doesn't know me, I've known Boss Lu for a long time."
"Where did we meet?"
"Hmm..." That person smiled somewhat mysteriously: "Not convenient to say."
Lu Chengwen was somewhat displeased, forced a smile to maintain politeness: "Pleasure meeting you."
Finished speaking and walked away.
"Hey, Boss Lu!"
Lu Chengwen turned back, looking at him.
The man smiled gently, dressed in a sharp suit, seemed to have many things he wanted to say, but in the end, he just smiled gently: "Someone told me, if I met you, to say hello for him."
"Who?"
Boss Yang smiled, waved at Lu Chengwen, turned, and left.
Lu Chengwen said to Xu Xuejiao: "This person is very strange. Does he cooperate with us?"
Xu Xuejiao said: "This person is also a strange person."
"What's going on?"
"His surname is Yang, a new businessman who only rose in recent years, just joined the chamber of commerce not long ago."
Xu Xuejiao looked at Boss Yang's retreating back: "He seems to have the ability of foresight, and his moves are extremely accurate."
"Foresight!?"
"Mm." Xu Xuejiao said: "He has a thorough understanding of Xuecheng's business landscape. Initially, he cooperated with Leng Qingqiu. Somehow convinced Leng Qingqiu, got several projects, and accumulated some capital."
"His subsequent operations were simply bizarre. When our pharmaceutical factory's stock price plummeted due to that batch of destroyed finished drugs, he bought frantically. When the factory's stock price soared, he accurately cashed out at the highest point, making a lot of money. As if everything was under his control."
"He was also the earliest to judge that you would take over the shantytown project. Stockpiled a lot of building materials, also stockpiled our Dasheng Group's stock. At that time, we had just confirmed the project launch, found that North Kingdom's building materials were flowing into his material warehouse. He not only threw in all his capital but later also took loans of billions to hoard building materials..."
"Because his material warehouse was nearby, later the entire warehouse along with the transport fleet was sold to us. Without his material funds, our initial projects wouldn't have been so efficient; just transporting materials also takes time."
"Later, when the Chengwen District project launched, he jumped in halfway, directly obtaining development rights for several good plots, one of which, a wealthy villa area, is currently being developed by him..."
Xu Xuejiao looked back again; that person had already reached the main entrance.
Met Chen Mengyun, shook hands with Chen Mengyun, exchanging pleasantries.
Xu Xuejiao said: "In the current business world, everyone calls him 'Very Awesome Boss Yang'."
Lu Chengwen frowned deeply, watching that fellow chat with Chen Mengyun.
"What business was he in before?"
Xu Xuejiao shook her head: "Very mysterious, seems like just an ordinary person."
"Ordinary person!?"
"Mm." Xu Xuejiao smiled: "Even now, he only makes decisions, doesn't participate in management. Usually likes sports, or taking his wife and children traveling."
Xu Xuejiao shrugged: "Winner in life."
Lu Chengwen wanted to say more, but at this moment, Xu Xuejiao's phone rang.
Xu Zhiyun almost cried: "Xuejiao ah, has Lu Chengwen arrived yet? Hurry up, I'm dying of anxiety!"
"Got it!" Xu Xuejiao hung up: "Thought about how to deal with my old dad yet?"
Lu Chengwen smiled slightly: "Please call me 'Very Awesome Boss Lu'."
