The next morning, shocking news spread throughout Guangyuan County!
Wang Er Zhu had acquired the Mu family, and his net worth had now reached fifty billion!
The Wang family ranked third on the Hua Bei City rich list!
And Er Zhu had accomplished this in just half a year!
All the influential families grew increasingly curious about this Wang Er Zhu, with some even offering substantial rewards, yet all they obtained was a photograph of Er Zhu!
And it was only his back!
Looking at the various rumors about Er Zhu online, Elder Chen's eyes almost disappeared from his laughter. He admired Er Zhu more and more.
"Er Zhu, come with me to the capital. You'll have greater development there!"
While happy, Elder Chen suddenly thought of something. He put down his phone and looked at Er Zhu with utmost sincerity.
Er Zhu's abilities were exceptional, surpassing even the top elites of affluent families. The stage of Hua Bei Province was too small, greatly limiting Er Zhu's potential.
"Wait a bit longer. Let Shiliu Village become more prosperous, let Sister Mei graduate, and let me arrange everything here."
Er Zhu took a deep breath, gazing thoughtfully towards the distant capital.
He, too, wished to go to the capital sooner, but here, he had too many attachments and reluctance. Though not overly sentimental, he was not heartless.
"Alright, then we'll meet in the capital!"
Elder Chen opened his mouth as if to persuade him, but he understood Er Zhu's character and decided not to press further.
After they had a meal, Elder Chen left the Zheng family. The Mu brothers had already been sent away by Elder Chen before their meal.
"Patriarch, you've done wonderfully this time! The internet is flooded with news about you, and your photo is even being sold for ten million a piece!"
Seeing Elder Chen off, as Er Zhu was about to enter the house, Zheng Chenglin handed him a tablet.
Looking at the string of numbers on the screen, Er Zhu merely smiled faintly, his expression unchanged.
Such high-profile attention was not necessarily a good thing for him, but what was coming would come, and besides, he didn't want to live his life in hiding forever.
"Manage the Zheng family well, and don't get involved in such trivial matters."
As Zheng Chenglin was about to say more, Er Zhu waved his hand and reminded him.
Zheng Chenglin quickly put away the tablet and nodded, not daring to say another word.
Er Zhu was now far more powerful than when he had first known him. He absolutely could not afford to offend this patron!
After resolving matters with the Zheng family, Er Zhu returned to Willow Town. Instead of going home, he went to the school again.
Today was the start of the summer holiday, and he was going to pick Sister Mei up to go home!
"Er Zhu, let's not go home today. I want to introduce a friend to you."
As soon as Er Zhu greeted Li Mei, Li Mei pointed to a black car not far away and said mysteriously.
Although Er Zhu didn't know who was in the car, seeing Li Mei's expectant gaze, he agreed.
Following Li Mei's directions, they arrived at the private room booked by her friend. As soon as Er Zhu sat down, a courteous man walked in.
"Er Zhu, this is Sun Chengbin, the eldest young master of the Sun family from Hua Bei City. He came all the way from Hua Bei City specifically to find you."
Upon seeing the man, Li Mei bowed politely to him before introducing them enthusiastically.
"I apologize, Mr. Wang. I couldn't find you, so I came to disturb your sister-in-law. I hope you can forgive me."
Sun Chengbin nodded slightly, extending his hand as he spoke, a hint of flusteredness flashing in his eyes.
As the future heir of the Sun family, he naturally needed to associate with more influential figures and build connections. Er Zhu was the person he most wanted to get to know, but Er Zhu's whereabouts were elusive, and he hadn't found an opportunity after searching for a long time. He had spent tens of millions to find his sister-in-law this time.
"Mr. Sun, do you need something from me?" Er Zhu nodded slightly, sensing no malice from him, and didn't dwell on it.
"I heard that Mr. Wang has a traditional Chinese medicine factory in Willow Town. Would you be willing to cooperate with me to open a similar factory in Hua Bei City?"
Sun Chengbin got straight to the point, stating his intentions with hopeful eyes fixed on Er Zhu.
With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, everyone attached more importance to health preservation. The Sun family had capital, and Er Zhu possessed exquisite medical skills. Their combination was a strong alliance!
"I was thinking the same thing." Er Zhu smiled slightly, picked up the red wine glass beside him, and clinked it with Sun Chengbin from afar.
Although Willow Town had a traditional Chinese medicine factory, its limitations in geography and economy only allowed for the production of crude traditional Chinese medicine preparations. However, it would be different in Hua Bei City, the provincial capital of Hua Bei Province!
They conversed happily and soon signed a contract. Li Mei was also very pleased to be able to help Er Zhu.
After parting ways with Sun Chengbin, Er Zhu and Li Mei embarked on their journey home. Li Mei seemed very happy, sharing many interesting stories from school with Er Zhu.
Screech...
Just as Li Mei was happily chatting, Er Zhu slammed on the brakes, and Li Mei was almost thrown forward. Before she could ask, she saw Er Zhu warily scanning their surroundings.
"Sister Mei, stay in the car and don't move. I'll go out and check."
A glint flashed in Er Zhu's eyes as he looked at the forest filled with killing intent. He unbuckled his seatbelt and prepared to get out of the car.
"Then be careful." Li Mei wanted to object, but seeing the determined look in Er Zhu's eyes, the words on her lips remained unsaid.
In recent years, Er Zhu was no longer the same person he used to be. She should trust him without question.
Er Zhu nodded heavily. He closed the car door, and the glint reappeared in his eyes as he cautiously moved forward.
Now, his Sky-Gazing Eyes could not only diagnose patients but also perceive different auras such as killing intent, resentment, and blood qi. Furthermore, the River God had also taught him a book on illusions, though he hadn't read it yet.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Within a few breaths, over a dozen masked figures descended from the sky and stood before Er Zhu. They were all armed, their eyes filled with killing intent!
"Are you Wang Er Zhu?" the leader of the men asked in a chilling voice. Er Zhu remained silent, calmly observing him.
A few seconds later, the man waved his hand, and all the masked figures charged towards Er Zhu. Their speed was so great that Er Zhu could only see afterimages!
"Who are you?"
Er Zhu was surrounded by the masked figures, but he remained calm, wanting to inquire about their identities.
After all, he hadn't offended anyone recently, and even if he had, they wouldn't be able to find such high-caliber assassins!
"Miss Irene, do you remember her?" the masked man didn't waste words and directly revealed his master's name.
It wasn't that he was foolish, but Miss Irene had specifically instructed him before they left!
"Attack!"
Without any further explanation, the masked man waved his hand again. Instantly, swords were unsheathed. The cold glint of these blades shone even brighter under the moonlight.
