Chapter 437: Chapter 437 Poison!
The appointed ti with Miss Ye Zi had arrived, and as evening approached, Xia Liu drove to Binlai City.
Splendid Hotel, a sumptuous establishnt in Binlai City rivaling the luxury of Wanqing Grand Hotel.
A Bentley slowly stopped at the spot, and a server ca to escort Xia Liu through the hotel’s main entrance.
Ding ding ding…
Just as Xia Liu wanted to check the ti on his phone, he received a call; it was from Ye Zi.
“Miss Ye Zi, good evening,” he greeted.
...
“President Xia, good evening. I’m in the Wind Spirit Room on the second floor. Please co straight up,” ca Ye Zi’s Spirit Sound from the other end of the phone.
“Alright, I’m on my way up.”
After hanging up, Xia Liu thought he had arrived a tad early, but to his surprise, Ye Zi had not only reserved a table but had also noticed his arrival.
Under the server’s guidance, Xia Liu arrived at the Wind Spirit Room.
As the room opened, a gentle fragrance wafted out, and a Qin Master screen stood erect, concealing the refined interior environnt.
Walking past the screen, Xia Liu saw the mysterious rchant Ye Zi, seated in her place.
She seed like a lady who had walked out of a painting, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders with a slight curl, long eyelashes, and bright, clear eyes.
A nose sculpted by an artist, and soft cherry lips lightly brushed with a subtle red hue.
The human body has a total of 206 bones, but when Xia Liu cast his first glance at Ye Zi, he had 207!
Astonishnt! Shock!
This Ye Zi was breathtakingly beautiful. Even if she hadn’t spoken a word, just sitting there with a cool expression, she exuded an indescribable aura that spread all around her.
Xia Liu quickly employed the Five Elents Mantra to calm his restlessness; if the beautiful woman in front of him were to see him in an embarrassing state, cooperation would be the least of his worries—he reckoned she might even call the police to arrest him.
“Hello, are you Miss Ye Zi?” Xia Liu asked politely, as he had never t Ye Zi before.
“Yes, President Xia, please take a seat,” replied Ye Zi with her cherry lips slightly parted, her captivating face blooming with a welcoming smile.
Xia Liu was stunned by Ye Zi’s beautiful posture, his actions slightly hesitant until she stood up, bringing him back to reality.
“I’m so sorry, Miss Ye Zi. I’m late,” apologized Xia Liu, quickly shifting his gaze elsewhere.
“Not at all, I just had so free ti and arrived earlier,” she responded.
“I can manage on my own,” Xia Liu said quickly, preventing Ye Zi from helping him with the chair, and then he pulled out a chair for himself and sat.
“Hehe, I had seen a photo of President Xia before, but did not expect you to be more handso and elegant in person,” praised Ye Zi as she returned to her seat.
“Miss Ye Zi is the beautiful one. I am certain that even fairies in heaven cannot compare with your beauty.”
…
Afterward, Xia Liu and Ye Zi embarked on a simple exchange to get to know each other.
They also ordered so of Splendid Hotel’s signature dishes.
“President Xia, I have visited Hejing once. The county’s popularity is gradually increasing. I heard you are planning to build an industrial area; how is that going?” she inquired.
“That’s right,” Xia Liu replied with a slight smile. “At the mont, the industrial area is still in the planning and construction phase. Many friends from Liu Hai City are planning to invest around the county.”
“Is that so?” Ye Zi’s spirited eyes swiveled slightly. “Is there still any available space left in Hejing?”
“Of course, there is. If Miss Ye Zi is interested, you might also consider investing in the town,” he suggested.
“Are you referring to spaces within the county and the town?” she asked.
“Yes, the industrial district can only be distributed around the county town, and no matter where, the areas within the county and town are always the hottest spots.”
Xia Liu actually wanted to develop Hejing and Pinglan Town, but he might not have the energy for it right now.
If he could introduce a super-wealthy investor to invest, in a few years’ ti, Hejing might be upgraded to a city.
“President Xia’s proposal is good, but I can only obtain a hundred billion from my family this ti. I wonder how much that can develop?”
“A hundred billion, that’s about half of Hejing. If it’s just for developnt and construction, that much money is enough.”
Ye Zi fell silent for a while before saying, “Can President Xia be certain that this project will make money?”
“Of course,” Xia Liu was very sure, “as soon as the Eastern District and the industrial district construction are completed, Hejing’s popularity will rise to a terrifying level. If you can get half of Hejing’s area, then you’ll be making money while lying down.”
Once Hejing’s popularity increased,
it would expand continuously like the downtown area. And as the central region of Hejing, that would definitely be worth its weight in gold.
If one could buy the agency rights for these areas, then setting up any shop or house would be ridiculously profitable.
“I’m sorry, I actually just returned from abroad, and this is technically my first ti doing business. President Xia will have to forgive my inexperience.” Seeing Xia Liu’s passionate deanor, Ye Zi said with an awkward smile.
“Not at all, if it were , I would also be cautious and careful.”
“President Xia, if my enterprise suddenly enters Hejing, it will definitely cause discontent among the existing populace. I would like to cooperate with President Xia to develop it together.”
“This idea isn’t bad!” Xia Liu beca interested, he had the sa intention originally and now that the other party took the initiative, it ant much more than if he had suggested it himself.
“Let’s settle on that for now. Once we get back, we’ll have our professionals draft the details of our cooperation,” Ye Zi said with a pleased smile as she raised her glass.
Xia Liu also raised his glass; he strongly agreed with Ye Zi’s idea.
“Here’s to a successful partnership!”
“Yes, to a successful partnership!”
After speaking, Xia Liu lightly sipped the red wine in his glass.
Hm?
But the mont the red wine touched his lips, Xia Liu’s pupils imperceptibly contracted!
Because he could clearly feel the poison mixed in with the wine!
This was at least potent enough to kill three elephants, and what’s most terrifying is that this poison wouldn’t kill a person imdiately but would slowly tornt the one who ingested it. Over a few days, it would turn their internal organs into pus, which would then ooze out from their mouth and nose.
Xia Liu had seen this poison before: the Cherry Blossom Poison from the Yagyū Family of the Island Nation!
Xia Liu kept his composure as he imdiately used his energy to suppress the Cherry Blossom Poison. Now that he had undone the second Spirit Stabilizing Needle,
the concentration of his Inner Spirit Energy was much stronger than before.
As long as the Cherry Blossom Poison hadn’t spread to his vital organs, he had the ability to completely expel it; he just needed so ti.
As he finished the wine, Xia Liu also enveloped the entirety of the Cherry Blossom Poison within his body, unseen.
Additionally, he detected that the wine not only contained the Cherry Blossom Poison but also a powerful drug that could cause a person to fall unconscious upon sleeping after drinking it.
Xia Liu was fortunate; while he used his Spiritual Energy to contain the Cherry Blossom Poison, he also enveloped the sleep-inducing drug.
With so ti, he would be able to use his Spiritual Energy to neutralize both poisons.
Clang!
The stemd glass slipped from Xia Liu’s hand, striking the hardwood floor and scattering glass shards everywhere.
“Nether Emperor? To dare harm a mber of my clan, you should have foreseen this day coming!” As Xia Liu leaned on the table and lost consciousness, Ye Zi’s bright spirit eyes gradually beca extrely icy cold…
