Chapter 692 - 691: A Trap for 500,000
"Hmph..."
Lao Guoqiang seemed upset on the surface, but he still took out his phone and called his subordinate, "Hello, is this Kang? Transfer five hundred thousand to the following account for me..."
After giving all the instructions, Lao Guoqiang threw the phone to Chen Tianlong. Chen caught it effortlessly and said into the phone, "My account number is 601382xxxxxx, alright, just transfer it directly. I have SMS notifications, so don’t try to cheat me."
Standing next to him, Lao Guoqiang let out a wry smile, thinking who would dare to play tricks at this point.
Actually, Chen Tianlong just wanted to teach them a lesson, and the amount of money held no temptation for him.
Chen Tianlong now owned the World Medicine company and was quite wealthy, with tens of billions being no problem for him.
Before long, Chen Tianlong received an SMS, then coldly smiled and said, "Alright, the money has been credited. You all can leave now."
Lao Guoqiang and Hao Ren were very frustrated, angry but not daring to express it as there was an expert backing the other side, and they themselves had no power or pretense. They had no choice but to go back and discuss the strategy further.
After they left, Chen Tianlong approached the boss and smiled, saying, "Boss, do you have a bank card? Write down the card number for me, I’ll transfer the money to you when I get back."
"Ah?"
The tea oil boss had thought earlier that Chen Tianlong was taking the opportunity to pocket some money for himself, but didn’t expect it was actually intended for him.
But the tea oil boss was just an honest small business owner, and suddenly receiving 900,000 was quite shocking, so he said after some thought, "Young man, I’m sorry, but I am capable enough. In this world, there’s no such thing as something for nothing. Unmerited wealth is not for me. Please use it yourself."
"Oh, boss, you were bullied earlier, I just wanted to teach them a lesson too, and didn’t intend to take this money," Chen Tianlong said with a bitter smile, realizing that the boss had misunderstood.
"This..."
The tea oil boss was in a bit of a dilemma; he certainly didn’t dare to accept this money, as it was ill-gotten wealth, and if people came back for revenge, he’d be doomed. Chen Tianlong might protect him for a while, but not forever.
"Chen Tianlong, if you don’t want it, you could donate it to the orphanage. The kids there really need money, they’re very pitiful," Wu Mengting suddenly remembered Chen Tianlong mentioning the Sakata Orphanage.
Every time Wu Mengting passed by some orphanages, she would see pairs of devout and expectant eyes looking at her, as if saying, we want to eat something delicious, play with toys, and study in school...
All of this had deeply moved Wu Mengting’s fragile compassionate heart.
"Hehe, if Mengting wants me to donate, then I’ll donate it, as it’s no use to me anyway," Chen Tianlong said with a slight smile.
"Thank you, Tianlong."
Wu Mengting was very happy because now they could help the children in the orphanage, allowing them to lead healthier lives.
"Hehe, no need for thanks between us,"
Chen Tianlong laughed.
After making plans, they ordered some tea oil for Zhao Lei, then sat on a nearby chair, eating and chatting.
"Zhao Lei, tell me honestly, who exactly are you, and why do you have such formidable strength?" After the three quieted down, Chen Tianlong began to ask.
"Boss... I’m sorry, I’ve been keeping it a secret from you for so long, but I have my reasons. As for what they are, I can’t tell you at the moment. But I can tell you, my strength is Yellow Dao six stars!"
Actually, Zhao Lei lied; his strength was much greater than that. However, he was instructed from above not to disclose too much information, and this time he wouldn’t have helped if he hadn’t seen that Chen Tianlong was in danger.
"What? Yellow Dao six stars?"
Chen Tianlong was shocked, unaware that he had a top expert by his side all this time.
Chen Tianlong could gauge strength across levels, but if the other party didn’t use the Heart Method, he wouldn’t be able to see through it. And since Zhao Lei was someone he deeply trusted, Chen Tianlong wouldn’t randomly monitor his every move, which made it understandable that he was unaware of having a hidden expert by his side.
"Yes."
By now, Zhao Lei didn’t want to keep hiding it from Chen Tianlong any longer, and Wu Mengting, who was nearby, was also someone he could absolutely trust. However, his true identity still couldn’t be revealed, not even to Chen Tianlong.
"Boss, I really apologize. This time, I came here to study on the promise I made to my parents, and I can’t disclose my identity," Zhao Lei said apologetically.
"I see, then it’s alright, hehe," Chen Tianlong replied after hearing Zhao Lei’s explanation, without further pressing, as it was indeed his right to privacy and family instructions had to be followed.
The three quickly finished eating, and since they had classes in the afternoon, they soon headed back to the dormitory to rest.
Suddenly, an unexpected guest arrived at the Xu Family Mansion. Ever since Xu Fei was beaten, the Xu Family had remained silent, but now a remarkable figure had appeared.
This person was none other than the Chu Family’s young master from the Capital City, Chu Jingyun.
After being injured by Chen Tianlong last time, Chu Jingyun’s father endured the pain and gave him a Great Rejuvenation Pill to fully heal him, though the butler couldn’t be saved, which was somewhat heartbreaking. To investigate Chen Tianlong’s identity, it was arranged for Chu Jingyun to personally visit South Sea City.
However, this time, the aim wasn’t just to investigate Chen Tianlong, but also to help the Xu Family rise.
Unbeknownst to Chen Tianlong, Chu Jingyun’s strength lay in his advanced technological skills; he was a typical master hacker. In the international hacker rankings, he was among the top ten, and through his online tactics, he had created a lot of wealth for the Chu Family.
Moreover, the Chu Family had another rather secretive plot; they were also researching new medicines. After learning that the emerging World Medicine company in South Sea City was quite popular, they set their sights on it.
The Xu Family was their inside line in South Sea City. Now upon knowing the company was owned by Chen Tianlong, the Chu Family increased efforts to take over World Medicine.
This time, the three foreigners came to Huaxia somewhat for the sake of the new medicine company, hearing that World Medicine had top-notch new drug developers they wanted to poach Li Tianyou.
To avoid drawing government attention, they used organizing a martial arts competition as a cover.
Additionally, last night Zhenzi received a new mission, hearing that the Energy Stone was in South Sea City, previously held by someone called Black Widow. The Chu Family’s people said that woman seemed to be at South Sea No.1 Middle School.
To find the Red Widow, the three foreigners entered South Sea No.1 Middle School ahead of time under the pretext of familiarizing with the environment, searching for information in secret.
Principal Situ Feng felt somewhat relieved seeing so many enthusiastic sign-ups, but his heart was still on edge, as these foreign high school students were extraordinarily strong. While their data didn’t specify this, information from South Sea City’s higher-ups indicated their capabilities shouldn’t be underestimated.
Otherwise, the South Sea City government wouldn’t place such importance on this competition.
