Chapter 199 (2/2)

With a surprised expression, Ouyang Lulu said, “How did you know that my Ouyang Family has a trump card?”

“There’s only a few foolish people in the world. Those who can govern big and respected families are never fools. I can tell that before they acted against your family, the Ouyangs perhaps had already investigated their strength on the surface. This is what the so-called ‘knowing thy enemies and know yourself and only then will you be ever-victorious in every battle’.” Tang Xiu said.

Ouyang Lulu said with a smile, “What you said is spot on. Our Ouyang Family does have a trump card, that was my grandfather from my mother’s line. It can be said that our family has relatives from a mysterious clan. Tang Xiu, I have absolute trust in you, so I can tell you about this. Even though my maternal grandfather’s clan is very low key and lives in a remote mountainous area, however, they are valiant people and they live by martial arts’ codes. There are a lot of people who are martial art experts from there, even us Ouyangs also hired a group of experts from there.”

“I know that. Some of the people your Big Brother takes along, are quite good.” Tang Xiu said.

“Knock, knock…”

The door was knocked as Gu Yin entered the room with a smiling face and said, “Master, there’s a guest visiting you.”

A guest?

“Who is it?” Tang Xiu asked with a smile.

“He came here once before. The one who sent you medicinal herbs. I think he’s surnamed Chu.”

Chu Yi?

Tang Xiu’s expression moved as he got up and said, “Let’s go see him.”

At the living room in the 1st floor.

Chu Yi sat on the sofa, fiddling with his mobile, whereas a big black-leather suitcase stood next to him. A bright smile hung on his handsome face, obviously revealing his joyful mood.

“Chu Yi!”

Tang Xiu came to the living room and then sat on the sofa at the opposite side. Ouyang Lulu herself acted as though a behaved young wife as she directly sat next to him.

Chu Yi put away his mobile, and for a moment, was quietly surprised upon seeing Ouyang Lulu who followed behind Tang Xiu. But his complexion immediately turned into an inconceivable expression when he saw Ouyang Lulu’s sitting position. He raised his arm and pointed at the two and said with a hesitating expression, “Are the both of you…”

“What?” Tang Xiu said with a confused expression.

Ouyang Lulu rolled her white eyes as she harrumphed and said, “What’s with the both of us? If you have anything to say, then spit it out clearly and don’t hide it. Besides, Tang Xiu and I haven’t done any shameful things.”

Chu Yi forced out a smile and said, “Well, old fellow classmate, your words are filled with guns and sticks though, so I have no courage to spit it out. But I’m really curious, however. How are you here too?”

“Well, you can come here, so why can’t I?” Ouyang Lulu said.

“Lulu has something to take care of in Star City, so she’s staying in my place for now. Anyway, are you bringing me medicinal herbs again?”

Chu Yi looked at the two with a strange expression. Only after a while did he replied with a smile, “Well, I”ve got two things to attend to in Star City this time. Firstly, bring you these medicinal herbs. And secondly, Long Zhengyu said that there’s someone who wants to be involved in our project, so I came here to ask him about the specific details.”

“Well, you need not ask Zhengyu about this matter. We have a much bigger plan, you’ll naturally know about it when this plan ended.” Tang Xiu said.

Chu Yi frowned as he asked with a confused expression, “Brother Tang, I don’t get what you’re saying. Since I can’t ask Zhengyu, how about you tell me what’s this about?”

“The plot of land we’re going to use, as well as the architectural design I have drawn personally, are now being used for another plan. In my estimation, it would only take 10-15 days before we got the results. I know that you and Bai Tao have the shares in this project, but since Zhengyu obtained the entire plot of land, we’re using this block to build the office. It also won’t be a problem if you want to participate in this project later, but the premise is that we have to remove some people first.” Tang Xiu said.

“You have enemies? Why didn’t you call me?” Chu Yi said with a shocked expression.

Tang Xiu said with a smile, “Well, we originally wanted to involve both you and Bai Tao. But since I considered that the both of you also have your own adversaries in the Capital, I didn’t call you. The plan itself is very tight and strict, and you’re the first one who knows about this even though you’re not involved in this plan. So I hope you can keep this a secret.”

Chu Yi narrowed his eyes and slowly asked, “Is there nothing I can do to help? For example… money?!”

“Nah, we won’t need it temporarily, but I’ll be sure to call you if we need it later!” Tang Xiu said with a smile.

“I’ll discuss about this matter with Bai Tao! Of course, it will be only between the both of us and we won’t tell anything to our family! If you need money later, do call us! Even though most of our money have been invested in the building that we’re going to develop, but we can still amass some money through private means.” Chu Yi nodded and said.

Tang Xiu was distracted for a moment as he suddenly asked, “If… I mean, if your Chu and Bai Families don’t raise the suspicion from the enemy, how much funds can you come up with?”

Chu Yi pondered for a moment before he said, “Four billion, this is the limit. I think it’s also the same with Bai Family.”
