Chapter 28: A Huge Business Opportunity

Leng Tianhao knew that bold people do bold things.

Although this person hadn't shown his face, the "door-knocking brick" he brought was definitely heavyweight.

If anyone said, "I have insider information worth over two billion for you," no one would tell him to get lost.

Even if you thought he was most likely a swindler, you'd still have to confirm he was indeed a fraudster before you could comfortably finish this meal.

Leng Tianhao smiled: "Such big talk? Hehe, it seems we have a distinguished guest at our house today? Chengwen, shall we meet him?"

Lu Chengwen thought to himself: [Stop pretending! You might be acting all high and mighty now, but once this guy comes in and starts his moves, you'll end up handing over your daughter and your family's business to him in one go.]

[Long Aotian is finally making his move! So exciting! It seems the plot is getting back on track.]

[From today onward, your daughter will be responsible for undressing him, and you'll be responsible for worshiping him. After the Leng family encounters him, they'll be practically finished. Young Master Long's power play in the northern kingdom begins with your family.]

Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen.

She was furious.

This dead man, always thinking such nonsense!

How could I be so cheap as to undress for a security guard I fired?

My father, a hero of his time, has seen all kinds of big shots and big scenes. How could a mere bodyguard make my father bow to him? And even hand me over to him?

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu also got fired up.

Fine, I'll see just how powerful he is to make you so afraid. Lu Chengwen and Leng Qingqiu each had their own thoughts. Lu Chengwen said, "Well, judging by his surname, he's no ordinary person. We should meet him. But since you're meeting an important guest, I'll take my leave now. We can chat another day. Where's the back door?"

"Wait!" Leng Tianhao stopped Lu Chengwen: "You're the important guest! What's he? Probably just a swindler. Let's see what he has to say."

Inside the room was one situation, outside was another.

At this moment, Long Aotian had already washed up and changed into clean clothes.

He was standing at the gate of the Leng family villa.

Hua Xuening stood in the shadows of the corner, bowing with her fists clasped: "Young Master, everything is arranged over there."

"Hmm."

Long Aotian frowned.

That Jiang Shihan, how dare she be so ungrateful and choose to follow Lu Chengwen.

Hmph, ignorant women who haven't seen the world think that clinging to a rich man is their path to success.

But she's not important. What matters are Leng Qingqiu, Xu Xuejiao, and Chen Mengyun.

Xu Xuejiao seems a bit tricky, Chen Mengyun hasn't been properly set up yet, and the Leng family is in the midst of turmoil, with their internal funding chain already in trouble. This is the perfect time to infiltrate and establish my personal authority.

"Xuening, pay attention. Open your eyes wide and see clearly. This is the first step of my plan to consolidate power in Snow City. The Leng family will inevitably fall into my hands."

"Xuening will take the young master as her role model, observe carefully, and strive for progress."

"Hmm."

Long Aotian nodded in satisfaction.

This guard might be a bit slow in the head, but no one knows that she's actually a once-in-a-generation genius girl, possessing a unique inherited power.

Given time, this girl will become an unparalleled master, and through long-term cooperation with me, she will witness my wisdom and magnanimity.

Her looks and figure are also top-notch.

Today, I'll show her why I am the War God, why so many powerful warriors from the borderlands surround me and bow to me.

At this moment, the gate opened, and a butler-like man walked out with a smile: "Mr. Long, right? My master invites you in."

Entering the living room, Leng Tianhao was already seated on the sofa.

But Leng Tianhao wasn't that polite. He sat grandly in the main seat, glanced at Long Aotian, and said, "Mr. Long, right? Please, have a seat."

"Thank you."

Long Aotian naturally sat down, elegantly crossing his legs.

His appearance might be ordinary, his clothes might be plain.

But as the main protagonist, his aura must never be mediocre.

Even if dressed in rags, sitting anywhere, he must exude three parts dignity, three parts confidence, three parts dominance, and one part grace.

Leng Tianhao said, "Young man, you said you have a business worth two billion to discuss? Frankly, I've seen countless braggarts, but I still agreed to meet you. I'll give you thirty seconds. If you can't say anything useful within thirty seconds, I'll have to ask you to leave."

"Hahaha!" Long Aotian laughed heartily.

"Mr. Leng, I'm afraid you don't realize that the Leng family is on the brink of destruction."

"Oh?" Leng Tianhao said, "Make good use of your time, Mr. Long. Such words won't scare me."

Long Aotian thought to himself, just keep acting tough. Let's see how long you can keep it up. Once I reveal this huge secret, you'll be scared out of your wits.

Long Aotian said, "As far as I know, the Leng family's Qianfeng Group was on the verge of bankruptcy a few years ago. Fortunately, the genius girl Leng Qingqiu took command at a critical moment and, through a series of brilliant maneuvers at the subsidiary, managed to recover significant economic losses."

"From that point on, you recognized her talent and capabilities, so you let her take full control of the group."

"Over the past few years, President Leng has indeed made remarkable achievements. If it were anyone else, the Leng family would have been finished long ago. But Miss Leng Qingqiu worked diligently, and with the help of a certain Lu family's lapdog, Qianfeng Group not only avoided collapse but even started to turn a profit."

Leng Tianhao impassively brushed the wrinkles on his pants: "Tell me something I don't know. Your time is running out."

"Alright." Long Aotian said, "Mr. Leng, you may not know this, but although Miss Leng Qingqiu is exceptionally talented and capable, she can no longer endure your high-pressure control. Therefore, she is desperate to prove herself, so much so that she has accumulated over two billion in cash. She needs a project, one that can help the Leng family make a stunning comeback. Unfortunately."

Long Aotian sighed: "She is beset by troubles both inside and out, leading her to act hastily. The project she is about to collaborate on with Jiao Shiheng is actually a huge trap. Jiao Shiheng will swindle all her money and flee with over two billion. His escape is one thing, but losing over two billion in cash at this critical juncture will leave the Leng family with no chance of recovery."

Long Aotian finished speaking and glanced at his watch, smugly saying, "Exactly thirty seconds."

Shocked, aren't you? Stunned, right?

Isn't this unexpected? Hasn't it scared you into a cold sweat?

Without me, your Leng family wouldn't even be able to eat shit while it's still warm. Once this over two billion in funds is cut off, your massive conglomerate will instantly fall into chaos.

With cash flow severed, who would lend you a hand? Who has the ability and courage to help you?

No one.

Just like a bank, once rumors of bankruptcy surface, it's almost certain to go bankrupt.

Because everyone thinks, it's going bankrupt, I need to withdraw my money immediately.

At that point, even if you could hold on, you wouldn't be able to.

Everyone in the world would be demanding money from you, and no one would be giving you any.

I truly am the savior of the Leng family!

Leng Tianhao stood up, saying nothing.

Long Aotian also stood up, smiling.

Long Aotian thought to himself: Here it comes, he's going to grasp my hand, weeping with gratitude!

He's going to confide in me, asking how to overcome this crisis!

He's going to start looking at me with newfound respect, letting Leng Qingqiu take me back into Qianfeng Group, working together with her to revitalize the company!

But at this moment, Leng Tianhao turned around and said, "See him out. What a waste of time."

Long Aotian was stunned.

What's wrong with this old man? Did I not explain clearly, or did he not understand?

Hey! Your family's over two billion in cash is about to be in trouble, and you... such a big deal, and you're not thanking me?

The butler walked up to him: "Mr. Long, please."

Long Aotian refused to accept this: "Mr. Leng, don't you believe what I said? If you take a closer look at Jiao Shiheng's project, you'll definitely spot the issues. There's a mole within Qianfeng Group, someone in your auditing team is falsifying data to deceive you. If you ignore this, the Leng family will face a huge risk of collapse!"

At this very moment.

Lu Chengwen, using the excuse of going to the bathroom, was already making his escape.

Lu Chengwen struggled to climb over the wall, laboriously maintaining his balance.

In his heart, he cursed Long Aotian.

[Long Aotian! You bastard, you're really something!]

[You couldn't have come earlier or later, but you show up when I'm here. If you're here to chase girls, why are you meeting the father?]

Just as he was about to jump down, he saw a plainly dressed girl standing at the base of the wall.

Lu Chengwen was startled: [Damn, it's Hua Xuening!]

Hua Xuening heard him cursing her young master and felt indignant. She flicked her finger, sending a small stone to hit Lu Chengwen's leg. Lu Chengwen, who had just managed to climb up, let out a cry and fell back down.

Hua Xuening felt displeased but also puzzled.

This guy, he clearly didn't say anything, so why did I feel like I could hear his thoughts?

Am I hallucinating?

Inside the room, Long Aotian was already furious.

He refused to leave. He had provided highly valuable intelligence, and instead of thanking him, they were kicking him out? What kind of family is the Leng family?

Seeing his reluctance, Leng Tianhao calmly said, "Let me tell you something. The matter you mentioned has already been resolved by my son-in-law, Lu Chengwen. During the contract signing yesterday, my son-in-law beat up that Jiao Shiheng, and now the funds are still in our hands. Mr. Long, you might have underestimated our Leng family. A mere Jiao Shiheng, even with a mole inside our group, couldn't possibly escape our notice."

Long Aotian was dumbfounded.

It's been handled!?

By Lu Chengwen!?

I worked so hard to get this intelligence, saving it for a critical moment to show off...

Lu Chengwen, you bastard! You stole my thunder!

Long Aotian didn't want to admit defeat. He gritted his teeth.

Damn it, in for a penny, in for a pound. I originally wanted to take things step by step, but now it seems the situation doesn't allow it.

"Oh, if that's the case, then I'd like to ask, what's the use of holding onto this over two billion in cash?"

"That's none of your concern, Mr. Long. Please leave."

"Wait!" Long Aotian said, "I have another piece of intelligence to share!"

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

Long Aotian said, "The Dayu Group is about to build a massive amusement park in Snow City, with a total investment of over thirty billion! Mr. Leng, are you aware of this?"

At this point, Leng Tianhao finally started to take this man seriously.

Such business intelligence isn't something just anyone can get their hands on!

But Leng Tianhao remained composed: "So what?"

Long Aotian said, "They think they've kept it secret, but I've got the information. If we can use this over two billion to preemptively secure that land, hehe. By then, if they want to build the amusement park, they'll have to buy that land..."

Leng Tianhao was shocked.

This was indeed a huge business opportunity!

Long Aotian said, "But time is running out. We need to act fast."

Leng Tianhao immediately walked over and shook Long Aotian's hand: "Mr. Long, my apologies for earlier. Please, come to the study for a chat. Someone, bring tea to the study!"

At this moment, a servant ran in: "Master, something bad has happened! Young Master Lu, he..."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He fell off the wall!"

Long Aotian sneered.

Kid, today is the day we settle our score in the Leng family.
