"Xu Lanting—"

Xu Lanting grabbed Chen Zhu's jaw, forcing him to look up.

The man struck fiercely, but his expression revealed a strange tenderness.

With a hoarse and warm tone, he whispered in Chen Zhu's ear: "Chen Zhu, have you seen my essence?"

Xu Lanting: "I'm such a scumbag."

He covets you all the time, and even wants to drag you to hell.

A Zhu, have you seen clearly?

As he said that, the man raised his fingers to brush the blood on Chen Zhu's lips, and the slight tingling pain woke Chen Zhu up.

Chen Zhu gritted his teeth and pushed Xu Lanting away.

"Asshole." He raised his hand and wiped the blood from his lips.

Chen Zhu felt that he was deceived by lard, so he believed that men were willing to put down the butcher's knife and be a human being.

But scum is scum.Xu Lanting's essence is still a wicked ghost.

Chen Zhu struggled to get up, he lowered his head, looked at the buttons of his clothes that were ripped apart, and gave Xu Lanting a hard look.

"Xu Lanting, I'm blind to think that you have the heart to reform yourself."

After finishing speaking, Chen Zhu raised his hand to hold down the loose skirt, and turned around - but the man came up and hugged him tightly from behind.

Xu Lanting said in a hoarse voice, "Just hug for a while."

Anyway, he has already earned the reputation of being a scumbag, so it doesn't matter if he is forced to do it again.

As long as they can retain some more warmth from Chen Zhu's body.

When they parted at Harvard three years ago, the momentary entanglement was Xu Lanting's only thought in the three years of despair that kept him going.

But now... all he can grasp is Chen Zhu's momentary, short-lived warmth.

At this moment, Chen Zhu really felt Xu Lanting's strangeness - the man held his hand very hard, but it was trembling slightly.

He turned his head slightly, staring at Xu Lanting's drooping eyelashes, "Xu Lanting, what the hell are you..."

What the hell are you thinking?

What the hell are you going to do?

Chen Zhu wanted to ask, but Xu Lanting sealed Chen Zhu's mouth with a sentence - don't try to pry into the soul of an evil ghost.

At this moment, Chen Zhu didn't know what to do with this man.

"Azhu." Xu Lanting closed his eyes, hugged Chen Zhu, absorbing the tenderness for a moment, "I'm dirty."

What?Chen Zhu frowned.

Xu Lanting: "And you are too clean." He said softly, "I know, I am not worthy to stand by your side."

Before Chen Zhu could react, Xu Lanting let him go suddenly.

The man pressed Chen Zhu's shoulder and gently pushed it.

Like that chaotic, hopeless afternoon three years ago.Accompanied by the sound of the auditorium bell, the man raised his hand and gently pushed Chen Zhu's shoulder, pushing him out of his abyss and letting him walk into the bright future.

"Let's go." Xu Lanting's voice returned to normal, as if the desperate and gloomy person just now no longer existed, "Remember, don't deal with bad guys so unsuspectingly next time."

Chen Zhu pursed his lips, the tingling pain on his lips reminded him how dangerous his situation was just now.

However, this time it seemed to be a little different.

After all, Chen Zhu turned his head to look at Xu Lanting. He looked at the man who had been entangled with him for many years, and his heart tightened inexplicably.

"Xu Lanting, I don't care what you want to do." Chen Zhu said, "But you promised that you would not play yourself to death. I hope you will do what you say."

Xu Lanting smiled idlely while crossing his arms, and he hummed softly, as if in response.

But Ah Zhu, how can you trust the promise of a scumbag?

After Chen Zhu's discord in the Xu family, the Xu family really began to shake.

Most of Xu Yonglian's subordinates are mobs assembled temporarily, who are motivated by profit and disperse when they are in danger.

Xu's internal affairs were inherently unstable, coupled with Zhang Cunguang's vacillation, the project that was originally fixed was stuck at a critical juncture.

Xu Yonglian continued to exert pressure, so he collected all the funds in Zhang Cunguang's hands and sent the engineering team members to the mountainous area.

But the closer the construction team got to the land, the more conflicts between Zhang Cunguang and Xu Yonglian.

One of them accused the other of being eager for quick success, and the other scolded the other for being cowardly.

Xu Yonglian and Zhang Cunguang had their own ulterior motives, so the construction date was suppressed.

However, a month at most.After all, Xu's funds have already been invested, and if it takes too long and the funds cannot be recovered, it will be of no benefit to either of them.

Therefore, Chen Zhu and the old professor rushed back to Guizhou overnight.

A group of people groped the night road and built a temporary residence in front of the cement road at Zhaizikou before the construction team entered the village.

The old professor even wrote several letters to report to his superiors, and a group of young juniors no longer complained of hardship or tiredness. While investigating, they wrote reports overnight, trying to try to build the greenhouse before Xu's actions.

"Chen Zhu." Xiao Liu unscrewed the thermos and poured a cup of hot water for Chen Zhu, "I see you haven't slept much these days, your health is critical."

The steaming steam filled Chen Zhu's brows and eyes into mist. He smiled slightly, his eyes were brighter than the color of water.

"It's okay. I'll take a rest after sorting out the materials for today's investigation." Facing the soil conditions, topography, and direction of rivers in different regions of this small village, Chen Zhubi had a vague idea in his heart.

The so-called soldiers never tire of deceit.If you can, you can show that you can't; if you can't, you can show that you can.

Since Xu Yonglian is so persistent in wanting to grab this piece of land, instead of going head-to-head with him, it is better to simply use an "empty city plan".

Chen Zhu told the old professor his thoughts. Although the old professor hesitated, seeing the roaring excavator was about to enter the village, he was silent for a long time, but still nodded.

"You young people have a lot of tricks, Chen Zhu, I trust you—but I also hope that you can bear this trust."

Chen Zhu clenched his fists, and said through gritted teeth, "Professor, don't worry, even if I try to block the cars with my arms, I will definitely do my best to stop them."

What this group of people are facing is a huge gear composed of money, interests, and power.

Standing in front of this huge gear, their strength is tiny and weak.

But Chen Zhu knew that if he didn't stop him - then today would be Guizhou, tomorrow would be Hunan, Yunnan...

Greedy capitalists will not let go of any chance to suck blood.

In the face of benefits, they can't wait to beat the bone and suck the marrow.

How can you pay attention to the pairs of eyes thirsting for knowledge in the deep mountains, and how can you look down at the people struggling to survive like ants under your feet.

On a rainy night, the tents set up at the entrance of the village were removed overnight.

The road to the mountains suddenly opened up.

Xu Yonglian snorted coldly: "I thought how capable it was. I'm still wondering if I have to 'accidentally' kill a few people to frighten those gangsters who don't know what to do."

"Mr. Xu, I don't think we should wait and see for a few more days?" The seeds of suspicion in Zhang Cunguang's heart were planted by Chen Zhu himself. Seeing Xu Yonglian's impatient appearance, his doubts became more and more serious.

Does Xu Yonglian want to make money, or does he want to use his project to gain a firm foothold in the Xu family?

Zhang Cunguang felt more and more being used by others. He didn't want to be the pawn that Xu Yonglian used to lead the battle, let alone be cannon fodder for nothing.

Therefore, when Chen Zhu proposed to see him, Zhang Cunguang quickly agreed.

The young man across the table still looked gentle and kind. If Zhang Cunguang hadn't experienced being beaten by him personally, Zhang Cunguang would not have believed Chen Zhu's arrogance under his gentleness.

"I came here to tell you, you can take that piece of land if you want." Chen Zhu hugged the thermos and sighed, "We thought wrong in the past."

Zhang Cunguang stared at the oversized thermos cup in Chen Zhu's hand, and looked at this unpredictable guy through the hazy fog.

"Mr. Chen, we are all smart people, why not be more direct?"

Chen Zhu smiled, slowly blew away the heat, and took a sip of water, "Well, Manager Zhang is indeed a smart person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have protected himself under the hands of someone like Xu Yonglian until now."

As soon as the words fell, a thick stack of materials appeared in front of Zhang Cunguang's eyes.

He opened it and frowned.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not—I think it's because you had a little conscience and received me in person that day. Let me remind you, don't be sold out and still busy giving people money."

In Zhang Cunguang's hands is the "regional topography" that the research team has investigated in the past few days.

Of course, Chen Zhu would not be so stupid as to deceive Zhang Cunguang with a fake document - after all, there is a team on their side who will investigate.

What Chen Zhu took out was indeed a research document - but, he carefully designed a little trick in it.

He believed that his professional level would not be easily revealed, but Chen Zhu was more of a gamble.

What he gambled on was this half-true material, Zhang Cunguang would believe the truth a little bit, and Zhang Cunguang would believe a little bit of the lies in it.

"You mean, the rocks in this area show signs of loosening, and a mudslide may erupt at any time?"

"Not only that." Chen Zhu said slowly while holding the thermos cup, "To tell the truth, you are dissatisfied. The greenhouse we are planning to build has also stopped working."

"What?" Zhang Cunguang was full of doubts in his heart, he looked straight at Chen Zhu, trying to see something from his clean eyes.

But Chen Zhu just raised his eyes slowly, and looked at him without avoiding it, "This land is of no value to us—the groundwater is barren, the soil is loose and cannot retain water, and it is easy to cause landslides."

Chen Zhu took a sip of water, "You want it if you want it." He smiled and shook his head, "I never thought that all these days of busy work would be in vain."

Zhang Cunguang flipped through the documents carefully, "But..." Obviously, the inspection team on their side said that there is nothing wrong with this area except that there are a lot of grass and rocks.

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not." Chen Zhu closed the lid of the thermos, "However, you should know whether your internal information is reliable or not. Information that even an outsider like me can get, huh...

Zhang Cunguang, whether you choose to believe in Xu Yonglian or our professional research team, it has nothing to do with me. "

Chen Zhu stood up and patted the sand on the corner of his clothes, "I give you this information today, just to remind those of you who still have some conscience, stop as soon as possible, so as not to be a chess piece for Xu Yonglian to seize power .”

Chen Zhu sneered, and continued, "Secondly, I really can't understand your stupid look of being betrayed and still smiling."

"You!" Zhang Cunguang slapped the table and stood up, but Chen Zhu didn't seem to care, just glanced at him sympathetically, twisted open the door, and left.

Zhang Cunguang tightly held the document in his hand, and was silent for a long time.Suddenly, his phone rang—it was Xu Yonglian who raised and lowered his hand, but in the end, he still didn't answer the phone.

"Damn it! What is this idiot Zhang Cunguang doing?" Xu Yonglian kicked the Pixiu ornament at his feet angrily, "The research team is gone, what is he still procrastinating for?"

In particular, recently, there has been a rumor from somewhere that Xu Lanting, who has been silent for a long time, is rapidly gathering funds.

The news that Xu Lanting was going to make a comeback spread like wildfire, and everyone in the company panicked.

Xu Yonglian's eyes were red with anger, "Xu Lanting has been imprisoned by Lao Tzu for three years, what else can he do!"

Saying this, Xu Yonglian felt even more uncertain.

He had no choice but to urge the progress of the engineering team angrily, wishing he could drive the excavator into the mountain.

Even during the several days of continuous heavy rain, Xu Yonglian refused to stop the engineering team under him, instead urging Zhang Cunguang to speed up the process.

"Mr. Xu, in case someone dies—" Zhang Cunguang was dubious about the information about the landslide, but he didn't dare to risk himself in the rainstorm.

Xu Yonglian was so angry that he scolded him, "The anti-skid building has been repaired a long time ago - you are so fucking worried!"

"be careful and live long."

"Zhang Cunguang, don't you want to do it anymore?" Xu Yonglian paced back and forth, gritted his teeth and said, "Oh, I think Xu Lanting is coming back, and I want to work with him?"

Xu Yonglian roared: "You don't even think about it, who rejected your project at the beginning! Xu Lanting kicked you away back then, and I transferred you back to the headquarters!"

Zhang Cunguang calmed down at this moment.That's right... Why did Xu Yonglian pick up a project that Xu Lanting even rejected?

Even Xu Lanting was unwilling to miss the project, but Xu Yonglian took it over.

The more Zhang Cunguang thought about it, the more something went wrong.

At the beginning, the project he had worked so hard to prepare was kicked away by Xu Lanting, Zhang Cunguang was really not reconciled-so after Xu Lanting lost power, Zhang Cunguang took refuge in Xu Yonglian.

However, calm down and think about it objectively, Xu Lanting has controlled the Xu family for so many years, and his ability is far superior to Xu Yonglian.

Therefore, it is clear at a glance who to choose to believe.

In addition, the members of the research team left as soon as they said, and it seemed that they had really abandoned this "valueless" land.

Zhang Cunguang had already believed [-]% of the information released by Chen Zhu from being dubious at first.

As soon as the news that Xu Lanting was going to make a comeback came out, Zhang Cunguang's back immediately shivered.

"I can't..." Zhang Cunguang came back to his senses, and suddenly started to pack his luggage, "I can't, I can't be a victim between them."

The collapse of rationality often happens in an instant, and the doubts planted by Chen Zhu himself broke through the ground, making Zhang Cunguang lose his judgment in an instant.

In a panic, Zhang Cunguang hurriedly called his assistant.

"Book me the earliest flight, I'm going to America."

"Manager, are you sure? You're not going to—"

"Shut up!" Zhang Cunguang picked up his luggage and almost ran away, "If I tell you to order it, you can order it!"

The plane takes off and the dust settles.

As the flight took off, apart from Zhang Cunguang himself, there were also a large amount of funds in his hands, the investor's contract, and all the materials of the project.

The roar of the excavator finally stopped in the early morning after the rain.

Looking at the blue sky, Chen Zhu breathed a long sigh of relief.
