Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“No point asking for backup. I have contributed much to the Lu group. They will surely avenge !” Lone Wolf stared at Ye Lingchen with seething hatred while his body writhed in pain.
Ye Lingchen ignored him and just watched silently.
Within 15 minutes, three luxury cars arrived and parked right outside the door.
Without even turning off the engine, Lu Tianxiong rushed down the car. His face flushed, clearly anxious.
Right behind him, Lu Hao hastily rushed down the car as well.
It was impossible for them to be calm.
From Ye Lingchen’s tone, Lu Hao could tell that sothing was wrong. He imdiately contacted Hill Spring Residences office and got the scare of his life.
His people flipped off Ye Lingchen again?!
Fools!
Trash!
Lu Hao almost cried. He had just barely returned to Beijing1. How was it that soone crossed Ye Lingchen again? Are they trying to get him killed?
Upon seeing Lu Tianxiong and Lu Hao, Lone Wolf’s face was red with excitent, almost forgetting the pain he was in. He stood up with great difficulty, then ran over to et them.
“Chairman, young master, I didn’t expect both of you to co see
together. I can die happy now.” Lone Wolf was sincerely touched. Tears filled his eyes, “It was worth all those efforts and contributions I sacrificed for your Lu group. It was all worth it!”
Lu Hao’s face turned white as chalk imdiately. Without any hesitation, he sent two resounding slaps on Lone Wolf’s face, “Shut the f*ck up. My Lu group has nothing to do with you!”
Lone Wolf was dumbstruck, standing there in a daze.
He saw Lu Tianxiong and Lu Hao hurrying towards Ye Lingchen, followed by a 90-degree bow with the utmost respect, “It’s Lu group’s honor to have Grandmaster Ye visit our Hill Spring Residences. All that’s happened here had nothing to do with us. We beg you not to misunderstand our intention.”
BOOM!
Lone Wolf was stunned. Manager Huang was stunned. Their minds were blown and faces turned ashen.
“I’m sure you can figure out on your own what has happened here. I can’t be bothered to explain. Help
take care of these people-” Ye Lingchen calmly stated, “Especially Lone Wolf.”
He did not like to leave loose ends. Lone Wolf had committed murder and was imprisoned. He was a tibomb waiting to blow. He must not be left alive.
“Grandmaster Ye you can rest assured. I’ll settle it for you.” Lu Tianxiong volunteered himself. He gave a signal and his people imdiately carried Lone Wolf off.
As for how Lone Wolf and his lackeys begged for rcy, Ye Lingchen paid them no heed.
Seeing how Ye Lingchen had no intention of blaming the Lu group for this incident, the Lu father and son duo finally let out a sigh of relief.
Ye Lingchen nodded, then took Zhang Yunxi along as he strode out.
“Grandmaster Ye,” The Lu father and son duo chased after him, an ingratiating smile on their faces.
“Yes?”
“Grandmaster Ye, I heard that you’re here to purchase a villa?” Lu Tianxiong asked.
Ye Lingchen nodded.
“Grandmaster Ye, you should just let us know if you wanted a villa. Isn’t it a slap to my face if you were required to pay for this? Please take this money back,” Lu Tianxiong said, “Houses are sothing our Lu group have an excess of.”
Ye Lingchen shook his head, “I’ve done nothing to deserve this. You’re running a business. I’m the buyer, you’re the seller. There’s no need to give away free stuff.”
“Then what about this?” Lu Tianxiong paused, then continued, “I’ll sell this to you at cost price. Since you were troubled in my establishnt earlier, we’ll just take this as an apology. What do you think?”
“That’s right Grandmaster Ye. There’s no way we can make a profit off you!” Lu Hao nodded beside him, “You’ve paid a total of RMB42,000,000. Our Hill Spring Residences has a royal suite, located right in the middle of the entire residential area right beside the hill and lake. Furthermore, it’s already furnished and it’s ready to move in. Coincidentally the cost for it is at RMB42,000,000!”
Ye Lingchen had naturally looked at the royal suite. It was much better in terms of location and architecture compared to the other villa. It was also more spacious, even having its own swimming pool. Conservatively, the pricing should be more or less double of the regular villas, with a minimum price of at least RMB70,000,000.
Moreover, Ye Lingchen had studied Fengshui. The location of the royal suite was the most auspicious, it fulfilled the criteria of being on a hillside and having a waterfront which ant it teed with spiritual energy.
Seeing Ye Lingchen’s interest, Lu Tianxiong quickly added, “Grandmaster Ye, only the royal suite can be worthy of your status. Please don’t refuse this offer. Furthermore, we’re selling it to you at cost price. It’s not a free gift.”
In truth, this royal suite was originally reserved for the Lu family. Why else would it be fully furnished with luxurious furnishings?
Ye Lingchen, of course, noticed that too. His gaze swept over the Lu family duo, “If that’s the case, then I shall not refuse.”
Seeing Ye Lingchen’s acceptance, Lu Tianxiong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then carefully prodded, “Grandmaster Ye, I heard that you’re skilled in gambling?”
Ye Lingchen nodded in acknowledgnt, then smiled unnaturally while looking at Lu Tianxion, “Cut to the chase.”
Lu Tianxiong laughed awkwardly, “Actually, I have sothing that would like to ask for Grandmaster Ye’s assistance.”
“What is it?”
“Grandmaster Ye is skilled in gambling, and I would like to hire you to help us gamble.”
“You’re in the real estate business. How’s that related to gambling?” Ye Lingchen’s brows twitched.
“Oh Grandmaster Ye, you don’t know...”
It turned out that even though Lu group was considered a big corporation in the country, it could only be ranked in the top 50. Compared to the top dogs, it was still very far off.
To ensure a peaceful growth, these rchants had agreed on an unwritten rule—to settle the score by gambling!
For example, those that place first would get the best plot of land. The bidding would just be for show, sothing that was already settled behind the scenes.
Of course, if anyone placed last, then they would only get the worst lands, sotis getting absolutely nothing.
This rule was agreed upon by the big na developers and rchants. It was to prevent cut-throat competition during bidding.
Gambling was originally just based on luck, making it relatively fair. However, in recent years, so developers started to hire professional gamblers from all over the world to help them. That changed the factor from luck to skill, greatly increasing competitiveness.
However, the Lu group had difficulty finding a skilled gambler and was greatly handicapped. The situation worsened and the gap with their competitors grew, so even outperforming them.
They were growing anxious. As for them being acquainted with Li Si, it was in hopes for Li Si to keep an eye on skilled gamblers. Who would have expected that Li Si would be eliminated by Ye Lingchen in one go?
“Where is the gamble?” Ye Lingchen asked.
“At the city of gamblers, Las Vegas!” Lu Tianxiong exclaid, then added, “At that ti, each rchant will prepare RMB10,000,000 worth of chips. The one with the most chips in the end will be the champion. If Grandmaster Ye agrees to help, we will bear the cost of losing while you can keep all the winnings!”
