Chapter 395 The Perfect Plan
Bai Leitian burst into hearty laughter, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
He was no longer the same Bai Leitian from a month ago.
Bai Leitian strode into the main hall of the Yang family residence and took the seat of honor, a cold smile playing on his lips.
As for Liu Ran, he was determined to have her!
Before, he had wanted to obtain Liu Ran properly, to cherish her, to make her his girlfriend.
He had even been willing to overlook her humble origins and make her the young mistress of the Bai family for her sake.
Back then, he was utterly devoted to Liu Ran.
Now, Bai Leitian merely wanted to possess Liu Ran, to destroy her completely after taking her, thus dispelling the demons in his heart.
Bai Leitian clenched his fists. For that woman, Liu Ran, he had once been completely infatuated. From the first moment he saw her in high school, she had captivated him.
Later, when Liu Ran entered university, Bai Leitian pursued her madly. He had not used his status as the young master of the Bai family to simply take her, but hoped to win her over with genuine affection.
But then, Liu Ran's appearance was ruined, and her academic path was destroyed, turning her into a thoroughly unsightly woman.
In his heartbreak, Bai Leitian developed a deep resentment towards Liu Ran. He felt she was ungrateful, that his devotion had been wasted, and that despite his infatuation, he could not win her over.
So, during that period, Bai Leitian used his influence to completely suppress Liu Ran, making her suffer greatly.
Yet, later, Bai Leitian discovered that Liu Ran's appearance had been restored, and she had become more confident, radiant, and captivating.
Bai Leitian had considered winning Liu Ran back, even though she was already married to Chen Yang. He hadn't given up, nor had he been disgusted.
But in the end, he was slapped by Chen Yang and used as a promotional tool, inadvertently propelling Yangyangyang's first cosmetic product to prominence.
After that incident, Bai Leitian was recalled to the Bai family and fell into a state of despair.
However, opportunity once again knocked on the Bai family's door.
The Tianyue Group in Jinling City was suddenly purged. Without the Tianyue Group as its pillar, the Black Ice organization turned its attention to the Bai family!
The Black Ice organization accepted the Bai family.
Bai Leitian was now a member of the Black Ice organization, and a branch master at that.
The current Bai Leitian was worlds apart from his past self. The moment he became a branch master of the Black Ice organization, he made a decision.
His first priority would be to come to Qingzhou City, crush Chen Yang completely, possess Liu Ran, and finally be free of his inner demons.
"Once I succeed in obtaining Liu Ran, it will be the time of my ultimate triumph."
"From this day forward, Bai Leitian will soar to new heights, not only as the heir of the Bai family but also as a branch master of the Black Ice organization. Who in Jiang Province will be able to stand in my way?"
Bai Leitian erupted into hearty laughter.
Yang Long respectfully stepped forward and asked Bai Leitian, "Young Master Bai, what should we do next about the Yangyangyang company? And how should we deal with those scoundrels, Chen Yang and Liu Ran?"
Bai Leitian sneered and replied, "It's simple. I plan to give him the Chuhan development."
Yang Long was taken aback by this statement. He then frowned and quickly said, "Young Master Bai, what do you mean by that? The Chuhan development is considered a relatively well-known high-end residential area in our Qingzhou City."
"If you give that development to Liu Ran, are you trying to eliminate her or help her? The Chuhan development is worth tens of billions. If you give it to her, Liu Ran's assets could even surpass ours in the Yang family."
Bai Leitian let out a hearty laugh upon hearing this. He said to Yang Long, "You're only seeing the surface and missing the true nature of the Chuhan development. Do you know why the Chuhan company suddenly halted construction for half a month?"
Yang Long was stunned and shook his head. He frowned and said, "Young Master Bai, the Chuhan development has a good location, and they acquired the land early on, so the land prices were not too high at the time."
"Furthermore, the Chuhan development is designed as a high-end residence, with a Chinese style reminiscent of the Chu-Han borders. To be honest, I was even somewhat interested in the development. But now, Young Master Bai is actually going to give this development to the Yangyangyang Group for free?"
Bai Leitian chuckled proudly and replied, "The Chuhan development was indeed quite good originally, but there is a huge hidden danger beneath it. Directly below the development lies the ancestral grave of the Zhuge family."
"The entire development was originally very well-known and popular, and the main structures were almost complete, waiting to be topped off before sales. But now, Zhuge family ancestral graves have been discovered within the development. Think about it, if the development has disturbed the ancestral graves of the Zhuge family, how could the Zhuge family possibly agree?"
Yang Long was stunned by this revelation. His expression then turned ecstatic as he said to Bai Leitian, "Young Master Bai, do you mean that beneath the development are the ancestral graves of the Zhuge family? Are you referring to the Zhuge family, renowned as the foremost family in Jiangnan, led by Zhuge Wudi?"
Bai Leitian nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it is precisely that Zhuge family. Currently, the matriarch of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Tierenü, is seriously ill, which means she is unaware that her family's ancestral graves have been disturbed."
"When the elder matriarch of the Zhuge family passes away, the Zhuge family will undoubtedly hold a funeral procession. At that time, they will surely discover that their ancestral graves have been excavated."
"Imagine, at that moment, how could the Zhuge family possibly forgive the person in charge of the Chuhan development? Therefore, I am now instructing the person in charge of the Chuhan company to give the Chuhan development to the Yangyangyang company, and to make a substantial profit from it in the process."
"If she, Liu Ran, invests her money in this development, she will also be held accountable by the Zhuge family. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? She will lose all her fortune and fall victim to the Zhuge family's retribution. At that point, can her Yangyangyang company still exist?"
Yang Long slapped his thigh in realization and gave a thumbs-up. He burst into hearty laughter and flattered Bai Leitian, saying, "Young Master Bai, this is truly a brilliant plan! You spend nothing yourself, without deploying a single soldier or pawn, and yet you condemn Liu Ran to a fate worse than death. I am truly impressed, incredibly impressed."
Bai Leitian roared with laughter, a sinister glint in his eyes. He declared, "Depleting Liu Ran's finances is only the first step. Next, I will lead Chen Yang and Liu Ran into an endless abyss, step by step."
"Those ungrateful wretches dared to scheme against and bully me back then!"
"I was too cowardly in the past. And I was also deceived and tempted by Liu Ran's beauty. But this time, coming to Qingzhou City, my heart is as hard as stone. My only goal is to completely trample on their dignity and to possess Liu Ran."
