Shui Xian Nightclub, Shui Long Han Shichong lay on the sofa in the private room. A female university student peeled grapes and gently placed them into Han Shichong's mouth.
A dog's tooth, one of the twelve cadres, walked in. "Reporting to Lord Shui Long, everything is settled."
The so-called settlement involved killing two beggars and burying their bodies on Su Wanran's land.
All of this was done by the dog's tooth himself.
Han Shichong asked, "What's the situation now?"
Dog's tooth said, "The situation is very much in our favor. That piece of land cannot be touched for a while, and Shen Dianlan cannot reassign land to Su Wanran. Su Wanran now is like a clever cook who can't make a meal without ingredients. She's foolishly trying to appease the police. Haha, she's incredibly stupid. How could the police let her freely use the crime scene?"
Hearing this, Han Shichong nodded with satisfaction.
"Well done."
This way, Su Wanran's plan would be thwarted, and Su Feiyang could follow the plan to research the Shui Bo Ying and legitimately defeat Su Wanran.
Once Su Feiyang ascended to the position of patriarch, he would settle scores with Su Wanran.
At that time, Han Shichong could turn around and mock Yao Gang, returning all the words Yao Gang had mocked him with!
Han Shichong ate another grape.
"Yao Gang, just you wait and see how I deal with Su Wanran!"
"And Su Wanran's helpers, I will eliminate them all without mercy."
"Yao Gang, you want to see me humiliated? Dream on."
…
The next morning.
As planned, Su Wanran drove to the police station again to negotiate with the police, hoping to get the land back.
However, Su Wanran knew very well that the land would not be recovered.
She would cry and make a scene.
The bigger the commotion, the better, all to lull the enemy into a false sense of security and make them careless.
Meanwhile, Lu Ming and Jiang Mengxin drove towards Ruyi Lake to acquire or lease prime land.
In the car.
Jiang Mengxin stared blankly at Lu Ming, who was driving, feeling as if she had crossed worlds.
Since arriving in Fog City, Jiang Mengxin had barely cooperated with Lu Ming. During this period, Lu Ming had been working with Su Wanran.
Now, to suddenly have Jiang Mengxin and Lu Ming in such close proximity again made her feel a bit reserved.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ming asked, noticing Jiang Mengxin's dazed expression.
"Nothing." Jiang Mengxin turned her face away, then asked a very strange and seemingly out-of-place question: "Lu Ming, do you think Su Wanran… is good?"
Good?
How to interpret that?
Good personality, or good family background? Good at her job, or simply good-looking?
Lu Ming didn't understand. "In what aspect?"
Jiang Mengxin's small hands gently fiddled with the edge of her clothes. "Just looking at her overall."
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "She's indeed quite good. Wanran is beautiful, has a good figure, and her education, upbringing, and family background are all excellent. Apart from occasionally being a bit impulsive, she's quite outstanding in all aspects."
This was a major faux pas.
What women detested most was for a man to constantly praise their best friend in front of them! Especially when that man was their fiancé!
The jealousy flared up instantly.
Jiang Mengxin's face immediately turned red with anger, and she said reproachfully, "Since she's so good, why don't you break off our engagement and marry Su Wanran!"
Whoosh—
The car instantly fell silent.
A long period of silence.
Jiang Mengxin's heart pounded, eagerly awaiting Lu Ming's answer, but all she heard was silence.
She couldn't bear it any longer.
Jiang Mengxin turned her face back, intending to scold Lu Ming fiercely.
As a result.
The moment she turned her face, she met Lu Ming's gaze. Their eyes locked, and a strong emotion erupted in the small space.
Lu Ming then said, "Mengxin, are you… jealous?"
Ah… this…
He had hit the nail on the head!
Jiang Mengxin was indeed jealous!
Her secret revealed, Jiang Mengxin's face instantly flushed like an overripe apple, hot and burning.
"Bah, shameless! Who's jealous over you?" Jiang Mengxin said, her words contradicting her feelings.
Lu Ming smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, you are my fiancée, I know where to draw the line, and I won't cheat. Moreover, Su Wanran is your best friend, I wouldn't do such a thing."
Jiang Mengxin was very happy to hear this, but still put up a tough front. "Who cares if you cheat or not? Anyway, when the time is right, I'll break off the engagement with you. I'm only with you now to fulfill Grandpa's dying wish, you know all this."
Lu Ming smiled and said nothing.
Jiang Mengxin thought he was angry and, for some reason, felt a little nervous and regretful.
She coughed and said, "However, you're not entirely without a chance. If you behave well, I'll consider officially registering our marriage."
Lu Ming remained silent.
Jiang Mengxin was anxious and annoyed, muttering, "You're like uncarved wood!"
A moment later.
Lu Ming suddenly said out of the blue, "Actually, I prefer your figure more. Although Su Wanran's is bigger, I still like your size, which is just right to be held in one hand."
What the hell!!!
Jiang Mengxin's face flushed from head to toe. She felt heat radiating from every pore.
Her face reddened, and she cursed, "You pervert, shameless!!!"
Jiang Mengxin turned her face away, refusing to look at Lu Ming. On the surface, she was angry, but her heart was beating faster, and she felt a faint sense of sweet joy.
She herself didn't understand why.
Even though she disliked Lu Ming, why did she care about his words and who he was with?
Had Jiang Mengxin, subtly, accepted the role of Lu Ming's fiancée?
She couldn't figure it out.
Or perhaps, Jiang Mengxin simply disliked her possessions being snatched away by others.
Half an hour later.
They arrived at Ruyi Lake, and the car stopped in front of a large open area.
They both got out of the car.
Gazing into the distance, they saw prime land everywhere. If they could buy or lease the land here, they would surely be able to research the Shui Bo Ying smoothly.
As long as the price was high enough, there shouldn't be a problem.
Just as Lu Ming was about to find the landowner to discuss cooperation, he saw a black SUV parked not far away, with a thin man wearing small round glasses standing beside it.
The man was surrounded by several burly bodyguards, looking like they were protecting him.
Following closely.
A large group of people dressed as farmers, holding spades, hoes, and rolling pins, were striding angrily towards the small man.
An old man leading the group raised his hoe and roared at the small man, "You, surnamed Jiao, if you dare to snatch my land, I'll pound your head into mud!"
