Chapter 203: Chapter 203 Demolition
Ye Xunhuan once had his fortune told by a street fortune-teller sitting on a small stool under a footbridge. The fortune-teller told him that he was fated to have strong romantic luck. Upon hearing the phrase "romantic luck," Ye Xunhuan was overjoyed. In his view, romantic luck was an absolute blessing for a man, so he immediately tipped the fortune-teller ten yuan and left without waiting for him to finish speaking.
Now it seems that this "romantic luck" mentioned by the fortune-teller must be the kind that brings disaster, the sort that requires a talisman to resolve.
What a pity, he blamed his youthful impulsiveness for not waiting to hear the whole prediction; otherwise, he would definitely have been able to ward off this romantic disaster.
And now, the disaster of romantic luck had come true, and he couldn’t find any way to resolve it.
One truly digs one’s own grave; Ye Xunhuan finally understood that now.
As a result, upon returning to Huangtu Group, he looked completely drained, like someone who had been boiled alive, listless and devoid of energy.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan in such a deflated state, Tang Yurou couldn’t help but ask, "Xunhuan, what’s the matter with you?"
Ye Xunhuan had been like this since his encounter with Mei Hanqing yesterday, and now he was in the same state again. What had happened?
Upon hearing Tang Yurou’s words, Ye Xunhuan, who had been resting his head on the desk, slowly lifted his head to look at her and said weakly, "Yurou, do you know of any way to rid oneself of romantic luck?"
"I don’t know," Tang Yurou shook her head. "Why do you ask that?"
"Nothing much, just a bit bored, so I asked casually," Ye Xunhuan certainly wasn’t going to tell Tang Yurou the real reason.
After all, the fewer people who knew about the matter of the Dragon Ancestor Bodhi, the better.
So Ye Xunhuan spent the day in gloom. When it was time to leave work, he had wanted to take Tang Yurou out for a good time to unwind, but she seemed to have something going on at home these past two days and did not go out with him; instead, she went straight home.
Because of this, Ye Xunhuan had no choice but to go find Xiao Jiu.
Qin Rumeng was nowhere to be seen today, apparently off doing something else, which gave Ye Xunhuan some peace and quiet at the bar.
While he and Xiao Jiu slouched over the table, Ye Xunhuan exclaimed, "Xiao Jiu, just what kind of bad luck am I running into?"
"Bro Xunhuan, do you know what I admire about you most?" Xiao Jiu spoke lightly.
"What is it that you admire?"
"You excel in putting on airs effortlessly," said Xiao Jiu emphatically.
Ye Xunhuan’s face immediately darkened, "Fuck you, bastard!"
"Do you know how many men wish they had so many beautiful women around them but don’t?" Xiao Jiu said softly. "Look at you, with Qiu Ruoxi, naturally, there’s no need to say how bubbly she is with beauty, Tang Yurou isn’t bad either, and now with the arrival of Dragon Ancestor Bodhi, you must be thrilled to the core!"
"Others long for the chance to hug from the left and the right, and here you are, not only can you hug from both sides, but you even have another sitting on your lap!"
"How about I talk to Dragon Ancestor Bodhi for you, and you two can just be together!"
After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Xiao Jiu suddenly shuddered and hurriedly waved his hands, "She’s not my type. You keep her for yourself!"
Xiao Jiu knew Dragon Ancestor Bodhi was formidable and absolutely someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.
"However, Xunhuan, if you ask me, you should just take that woman, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi," Xiao Jiu took a sip of his drink and continued, "That way, you’ll have a powerful ally by your side."
"And with your skills in bed, you can definitely make Dragon Ancestor Bodhi beg for more..."
Hearing Xiao Jiu’s off-key remarks, Ye Xunhuan’s face gradually began to look somewhat unsightly, "Don’t you believe that I can beat you to the point of begging for mercy right now..."
Xiao Jiu hurriedly dared not say anything more.
"But Huan ge, do you think you still have any way to tame this woman?"
"Killing her, you definitely wouldn’t bear to." Xiao Jiu said indifferently, "And you don’t dare lay a finger on her."
"Who says I don’t dare?"
"Then do it?"
"Isn’t this exactly because she’s demanding I marry her? If I were to get involved with her, what do you think would definitely happen?"
"At most, there’d be chaos!" Xiao Jiu said nonchalantly.
"Xiao Jiu, I’ve noticed you’ve been getting more cocky recently, is it because I haven’t been training you lately that you think you’re all that now..."
"No, Huan ge, actually I have a plan that can settle everything once and for all, without leaving any worries behind," Xiao Jiu hurriedly said.
"What plan?" Ye Xunhuan asked with interest, looking at Xiao Jiu.
"In many countries abroad, you can marry multiple wives. Wouldn’t emigration solve your problem?" Xiao Jiu excitedly explained to Ye Xunhuan, "Once you emigrate, you can marry Long Zu Puti, and also marry other women, killing two birds with one stone..."
Meanwhile, two sedans came to a halt in the old district of Jiangzhong City.
As soon as the vehicles stopped, a man around thirty years old quickly approached, opened the rear door of the car with a swift and respectful manner.
The door opened, and a man with a protruding belly alighted from the car immediately.
"Mr. Wang!" The middle-aged man spoke right away, his expression exceedingly reverent.
This Mr. Wang was Wang Weimin, in charge of demolition. The old district of Jiangzhong City was due for demolition, and many people had already signed the contract, but there were still some tenacious holdouts who disagreed.
For this reason, Wang Weimin had brought in some thugs, using a mix of soft and hard tactics, thus achieving some success and causing some of the holdouts to back down.
However, there were still a few stubborn individuals who wouldn’t agree, which was greatly vexing to Wang Weimin, especially one named Tang Boren who was leading the others, stubbornly resisting to the bitter end.
Now, he was almost out of patience.
"Mr. Wang, that Tang is truly a tough nut to crack, soft approaches are no longer working, we have to play hardball!" the middle-aged man said with a grim face, "Once we deal with this Tang, the others won’t be able to make much of a wave!"
"Playing hard might end up costing someone’s life," Wang Weimin’s eyebrows were furrowed tightly.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Wang, I’ve got a plan!"
"Oh?"
"I’ve heard that Tang Boren has a daughter named Tang Yurou, and she’s his only child. If we get her in our grasp, he will have to agree even if he doesn’t want to!"
Upon hearing these words, Wang Weimin’s face immediately revealed a smile, "Then what are you waiting for!"
"However, Director Wang, Tang Boren’s daughter is very beautiful, you..."
