"Are you looking for me for something?" It can’t possibly be that he’s here to beat me up—the Danger Prediction Card didn’t react.
Chen Bolin didn’t respond. He just kept his gaze on Luofeng, a mere two meters away, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Aren’t you afraid that we’ll both go down together?"
"Not afraid!"
"Why not?"
"You’re so smart. You must cherish your life, right? Only fools would be reckless." Luofeng smiled faintly, holding Duanmu Yunji’s hand. "Also, have you heard about my professional-level Free Fighting skills?"
"..." Chen Bolin fell silent. But for some reason, Duanmu Yunji actually blushed?
"Do you want the Rich Source Gold Group?" Chen Bolin initiated the topic. "I can help you, and in return, you help lessen my responsibility."
"Sorry, no need."
"Why not? Rich Source’s annual profit is almost 1 billion. If it’s expanded to five hundred locations, the annual profit could reach 2 billion."
Chen Bolin continued, all the while observing Luofeng’s expression.
"Alright, Chen Bolin, you don’t need to say any more. I saw through your conspiracies a long time ago. Currently, more than twenty tycoons in Capital City are planning to take over Rich Source. Do you think I’m going to compete with them? It’s all a mess anyway, and there’s not much to gain. If I step aside, I might even earn some goodwill. The key point is, do you really think investing a large sum of money for such a small profit is worthwhile?"
Luofeng simply smiled.
For most magnates, it certainly seemed like a good deal. But for Luofeng, it wasn’t that it was a bad deal; he just wasn’t particularly excited about it.
"You..."
"You want to ask how I saw through you? It’s because I gathered enough information," Luofeng said with a smile. "Once you step out of the circle of interests, you’ll find that every detail is laid bare. After the twenty-four families in Capital City carve up Rich Source, they will become my best defensive perimeter. This is because I have the gold mine, which serves as their security. Plus, I have a good reputation. By willingly giving up my share of Rich Source, they’ll all remember the favor I did for them."
"I just want to ask one last thing: how did you know that the gold was fake?" Chen Bolin took a deep breath.
"Haha, I didn’t really discover anything," Luofeng replied with a laugh. "It wasn’t a difficult task. Just arrange for someone to spread rumors in exchange for some beer and skewers."
"HAHAHA!" Chen Bolin laughed maniacally and then staggered away.
「At 2 o’clock in the afternoon.」
Luofeng and Duanmu Yunji returned to the apartment. Luofeng continued to accompany her in piano practice. They practiced together for an hour before the piano music stopped.
