Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Ye Tian's expression turned grim.
Zhang Jiliang: "Brother Ye, what's wrong?" Da Feng Novel Network
Ye Tian: "It seems they deliberately blocked the entrance with the car. Someone just called me, offering one hundred million to sell the mansion to them."
Zhang Jiliang was furious: "What? One hundred million? Why don't they just rob us!"
Jin Duoduo also said indignantly: "This is outrageous! Ye Tian, do you know who they are?"
Ye Tian: "I'm not sure. But they will definitely show up again. Since they want to play, we'll play slowly!"
He dialed Xiong Fei's number, as Xiong Fei should be able to find out about such matters.
He briefly explained the situation, and Xiong Fei immediately went to gather information. After the three finished their meal, Xiong Fei called back and said, "Brother, I found out! The original owner of this mansion you bought was threatened by those scoundrels, which is why they sold the house."
Ye Tian: "Oh, who are these people?"
Xiong Fei: "The Lu family! The Lu family has considerable influence. There's an official in the capital and one in the provincial government, both holding important positions. Furthermore, the head of the Lu family is Lu Zhen, who controls trillions in assets. It can be said that the Lu family is a truly wealthy and powerful entity, and even I dare not provoke them."
Ye Tian: "Is it Lu Zhen who wants this mansion?"
Xiong Fei: "It's not Lu Zhen, but Lu Zhen's son, Lu Shaojie, one of the Four Young Masters of the provincial capital. He fancied the environment here and wanted to convert the mansion into a clubhouse. The previous owner disagreed, so he used his means to force them to sell the house."
Ye Tian: "Old Xiong, what do you think I should do?"
Xiong Fei: "How about this, I'll go to the Lu family tonight and talk about this matter. Lu Zhen and I have some acquaintance, so it depends on whether he gives face. If he gives face, everything will be fine. If he doesn't, hehe, you just do whatever you need to do, brother, I'll support you!"
Ye Tian: "Alright, I'll wait for your news."
After the meal, the three returned to the mansion. As soon as they reached the entrance, they saw a truckload of garbage dumped there, completely blocking the gate.
Zhang Jiliang cursed: "What scumbags!"
Ye Tian lit a cigarette and said, "It seems we can't get in. Let's go back to the hotel."
When they reached the car, Zhang Jiliang almost jumped: "Holy crap! Brother Ye, our car is scratched, and the tires are flat!"
This was a Cullinan worth tens of millions. A few scratches would incur a considerable repair cost.
Ye Tian glanced at it and said, "Let's leave the car here for now. Come on, let's take Duoduo's car."
Jin Duoduo's car, a sedan worth hundreds of thousands, was fortunately unharmed. So the three of them took her car to a nearby hotel.
Back at the hotel, Ye Tian booked a few rooms, and they each retired to their rooms to rest.
Ye Tian took a shower, changed his clothes, and prepared to practice his skills. At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Jin Duoduo entered.
"Ye Tian, my brother is here."
Ye Tian: "Oh? Where is he?"
Jin Duoduo: "I told him the address, he should be here soon."
Ye Tian: "Does he need something from you? Is he short on money again?"
He knew Jin Duoduo's family situation quite well, so he asked.
Jin Duoduo: "I'm not sure. He didn't say on the phone."
Ye Tian thought for a moment and said, "Duoduo, how about I arrange a high-paying job for your brother?"
Jin Duoduo sighed softly: "Forget it, this guy is lazy and incompetent. I don't want to trouble you."
After a brief chat, Zhang Jiliang also arrived. He smiled and said, "Am I interrupting? Should I excuse myself?"
Ye Tian glared at him, and the latter flinched: "What I mean is, the night is long, why don't we go to a bar?"
Jin Duoduo: "If you want to go, you go yourself. I'm not interested."
Zhang Jiliang shrugged and said, "I know a bar with a really good resident singer, she sings beautifully."
Ye Tian: "Duoduo's brother is coming, let's wait for him and go together."
Zhang Jiliang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll find a friend to reserve seats for me. That bar is too popular; without reserving seats, you can't get one."
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Jin Duoduo opened it, and a man around twenty years old walked in. He was not tall, a bit overweight, wearing glasses, and looked somewhat dull.
