Chapter 1403
The sound of shouting echoed through the banquet hall.
Lord Meng’s eyes were wide open, his face full of anger.
A whole hundred and seventy plots of land!
According to what Chen Dong had just said, it was clear that he planned to lose the land he had received, and yet he had swallowed the entire one hundred and seventy plots of land in the southwest region.
This was clearly insane!
A loss of one hundred and seventy plots of land was an astronomical amount!
Even if Chen Dong had a huge fortune in his hands, in Lord Meng’s mind, this move was an act of madness with no regard for the consequences!
The atmosphere was frozen and suffocating.
As Lord Meng scolded Chen Dong.
Zhuge Qing, Chu Reed, Zhou Yanqiu and Zhou Zunlong all revealed unbelievable expressions as they stared at Chen Dong.
It was not only Lord Meng who found Chen Dong absurd.
Even the four of them had their brains buzzing after learning that Chen Dong had frantically swept one hundred and seventy pieces of land.
This was simply unbelievable!
“Uncle Meng, I’m not crazy, I’m sober.”
Chen Dong blandly met Lord Meng’s angry eyes, “Little Shadow and the child, I have been doing the whole thing as well, this time …… I must win!”
With the last word out.
Chen Dong’s eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp aura so severe that it was like a substance.
The most important thing is that the person who is in a high and powerful position, Lord Meng, was looking at Chen Dong at this moment, but his heart and soul were tremendously shaken and his scalp was numb.
But losing three hundred plots of land was really an all-out consideration for Little Shadow and the child?
“Lord Meng, don’t be angry, since Dong is doing this, he must have his reasons.”
Zhuge Qing squeezed a smile onto his face and hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere.
Lord Meng’s brows were locked, still sulking.
However, he slowly sat back in his chair.
Zhuge Qing, on the other hand, looked towards Chen Dong: “Brother Dong, tell us about your plan.”
However.
Chen Dong shrugged his shoulders and deflated his mouth indifferently, “There is no plan, I just want to lose some money out, you guys just be prepared.”
With a single sentence, the few people present were instantly dumbfounded.
Just want to lose some money and go out?
What the hell kind of reason is that?
Compared to Zhuge Qing, Chu Reed and Zhou Yanqiu, Zhou Zunlong’s face was white and his gaze was desperate, and even though he was sitting on a chair, his limp body couldn’t help but slump to the ground.
The Zhang and Chu families, the Zhuge family, they were all beyond his reach!
With these three families’ underlying volume, even if they take a lot of land and lose money, they will only hurt their bones at most.
But he …… has borrowed and bridged thirty-eight plots of land in one go!
This was far beyond the limit of what his family could afford.
At first he thought that Chen Dong had flicked an east wind to the southwest region, which was a good thing to pick up big money.
With the past experience of following Chen Dong to eat meat and drink soup, Zhou Zunlong had less sense when he saw the wind rising, and directly gambled his entire fortune on this hand.
But now, Chen Dong’s words were like the Sanskrit sound of a death sentence.
In an instant, he was directly pressed into the hell of despair and misery.
If he lost all of the thirty-eight plots of land, he, Zhou Zunlong, could not afford it!
“Chen, Mr. Chen ……”
Zhou Zun Long’s gaze drifted a little, his eyes covered with blood, his voice trembled: “If you do this, Zun Long …… is going to die!”
The grief and despair was unconcealed.
Since following Chen Dong, he and Chen Dong have long been tied to the same boat.
Now this order from Chen Dong was, to him, undoubtedly an act of leading him to his death!
The only one who could save him now was also Chen Dong!
“Thirty-eight plots of land …… huh ……”
Zhou Yanqiu laughed lightly, under his gold-rimmed gla*ses, his eyes narrowed as he stared at the desperate and pleading Zhou Zunlong: “Ah Zhou Zunlong, you are a reckless person who has risen to power by black and white means, but you are still a reckless character after all, there is no free lunch in the world, do you really think that it is that easy to pick up money with this east wind that Mr. Chen has flicked here?”
In his words, there was pity, but the sarcasm was even stronger.
Chen Dong’s gaze looked askance at Zhou Yanqiu without a trace, then fell back on Zhou Zunlong.
“Mr. Zhou thirty-eight plots of land, I will consider them at my discretion, you are all meritorious people who have strongly supported me, Chen Dong is by no means an ungrateful person.”
“Thank you Mr. Chen, thank you Mr. Chen.”
Zhou Zun Long was instantly pardoned and directly pushed his chair away, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Chen Dong excitedly.
At the same time.
Chen Dong’s gaze however fell on Zhou Yanqiu, the corners of his mouth curling up into a strange smile.
Zhou Yanqiu was already secretly glad that he had only taken five plots of land, so even if he lost money, he would not lose much.
However, when he noticed Chen Dong’s gaze, the sweat on his back immediately stood up.
A bad feeling had arisen.
The thought had just risen.
Chen Dong then spoke with a smile, “Mr. Zhou, you are my former boss, thank you for your kindness, I have always kept it in mind, but this time, Zhou Zun Long is in trouble, it is really difficult for him to bear it all by himself, so I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to help bear it a little more.”
Boom!
Zhou Yanqiu’s body trembled, and the blue veins at the corners of his eyes stood out, beating furiously.
The resentment in his chest, in this instant, seemed to be breaking out of his body.
Remembering my kindness, how can you be so grateful to me?
People sit in the field, but trouble comes from the sky.
It’s Zhou Zunlong’s business to buy land, and he’s dragging me in when he loses money?
That’s not how I should be a F**king receiver!
Zhuge Qing and Chu Reed were confused.
Lord Meng was also confused.
Zhou Zunlong, who was kneeling on the ground, also raised his head suddenly and looked at Chen Dong incredulously, while the corners of his mouth turned up uncontrollably, reasoning and hastily suppressing it, the whole person was in a state of elation and suppression.
“Mr. Chen, Yanqiu’s family is thin, I’m afraid I can’t afford to lose money!”
Zhou Yanqiu hurriedly pleaded, “Thirty-eight plots of land, this is all real money to buy back and real money to lose out, how can I help pay for Zhou Zunlong’s reckless move?”
“It’s a deal, we’re all on the same side, all according to plan.”
Chen Dong rubbed his nose and did not continue to manoeuvre with Zhou Yanqiu on this issue.
He swept his gaze over several people and said in a deep voice, “This battle, follow my plan, remember, make sure you act like it! Don’t let anything slip, go to bed and rest, it’s too late.”
The voice was resolute and irrefutable.
Although Zhuge Qing and the others had doubts, grievances and resentment in their hearts, they said no more, and the four of them got up at the same time and exited the banquet hall.
In the blink of an eye.
In the banquet hall, only the two of them, Chen Dong and Lord Meng, remained.
Lord Meng was puzzled, “Dong’er, what exactly are you planning? Also, the trouble that Zhou Zunlong caused, you let Zhou Yanqiu sit in a row, this suppression is also a bit …… too obviously brutal.”
“Uncle don’t ask too many questions, time will prove everything.”
Chen Dong smiled and said with a deep gaze, “Righteousness is mostly dog slaughtering generation, negative heart is mostly reading people, compared to Zhou Yanqiu, I am actually more willing to deal with Zhou Zunlong, even if I had hatred with Zhou Zunlong before, but the hatred is far less horrible than the wallflower!”
As he spoke, Chen Dong twirled the cigarette on the table, his eyes deep, murmuring in a low voice.
“I became a brother with the man who killed my father, and time and time again he stood in my way with his life in times of crisis, fighting for me, fighting for my family.”
“And the man who held himself to be well-dressed and powerful changed my life without ever asking if I agreed, cruel and numb.”
Chen Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at Lord Meng.
“Uncle, say, these two kinds of people, if it were you, who would you choose?”
Chapter 1404
The lights were bright.
Locking eyes with Chen Dong, Lord Meng fell into silence.
He could hear the monstrous resentment contained in Chen Dong’s words when he spoke them.
It stuck in his throat.
He hesitated for a moment.
Lord Meng said, “I don’t think the cruel and numb person you are referring to is Zhou Yanqiu, right?”
Chen Dong gave a light laugh, shook his head and lit his cigarette.
Of course he was not talking about Zhou Yanqiu, but Chen Daojun!
But there was a slight similarity between Zhou Yanqiu and Chen Daojun.
Calmness, “profit-seeking”, indifference to everything!
The difference is that Zhou Yanqiu is looking for money, while Chen Daojun is looking for what he wants by any means necessary.
To be precise, Zhou Yanqiu is more like the epitome of Chen Daojun, a miniature version of Chen Daojun!
“This person, Zhou Yanqiu, is too scheming and profit-seeking, even if he stands in the same boat as me, he still has to be properly knocked around from time to time.”
Chen Dong gripped a cigarette and exhaled smoke: “At the beginning, in order to befriend Chen Tiansheng Chen Tianyang two brothers, a disagreement directly ride the wall to sell me, this matter, to this day, I do not allow it to happen a second time, compared to down, Zhou Zunlong instead is more pure, far less scheming than Zhou Yanqiu, when something is wrong, is really on!”
“So you’re deliberately knocking him around? You can you and his situation today, he should not be able to jump against you!”
Lord Meng frowned thoughtfully.
“Who knows?”
Chen Dong rubbed his nose and smiled before digressing, “Actually, there is still one thing that I need your help with when I called them all to see you at the Four Seals Club tonight, uncle.”
“If it doesn’t violate my principles, I’ll be happy to do it!”
Lord Meng said with a smile.
“Naturally, I will not make things difficult for uncle.”
Chen Dong smiled spontaneously, “I need uncle to personally host a land auction in the city.”
“It’s not under my control, there is a special department underneath to manage it.”
Lord Meng was puzzled.
As a great official of a city, he had various departments under him that collaborated with each other and did their own duties.
There was no such thing as an officer of a city like him personally going into the auction room and dropping the hammer on a bid!
“It is precisely not under uncle’s control, and it is because of uncle’s status that Dong’er wants to borrow uncle’s wind for a while!”
Chen Dong rubbed his nose and smiled a bitter smile, “I will take out ten plots of land and ask uncle to help auction them off.”
“What exactly is your way of playing? Why am I getting more and more confused!”
Lord Meng’s doubts intensified, his eyes flickering as he stared intently at Chen Dong, desperately wanting to see through him.
Even with his experience, Chen Dong’s series of arrangements tonight had left him in the clouds and confused.
“Haha …… uncle leave it alone, as long as uncle agrees to this matter, it will not go against uncle’s principles, but also lend uncle this gust of wind.”
Chen Dong waved his hand with a smile and looked meaningfully at Lord Meng.
Lord Meng pondered for a moment and nodded his head in response.
“Alright then, time and place, tell me.”
Chen Dong said, “I will inform uncle when I have decided on the time and place, as well as the land to be auctioned.”
“All right.”
Lord Meng no longer hesitated and directly nodded his head in response, “If there is nothing else, I will leave first.”
“Have dinner before you leave.” Chen Dong said.
Lord Meng waved his hand, “You kid five confused, make me this old sparrow are cloudy, do not eat, go home to your aunt below eat, simple two bites, do not need to bother with you kid, I fall a save.”
As he walked to the door of the banquet hall, Lord Meng said without looking back, “Order whatever you want, and hang it on my account.”
Chen Dong smiled but did not say anything.
Only after Lord Meng left did his gaze sweep deep into the empty banquet hall.
The cigarette at the corner of his mouth was lingering with smoke.
Originally, he had intended to have Zhuge Qing and the others join him for dinner.
But just now, in order to deliberately knock Zhou Yanqiu, not to circumvent the nonsense with them, this is why he directly let them go back to the clubhouse to rest.
At this moment, he was alone in the large banquet hall.
Chen Dong’s sadness, however, climbed onto his face.
He was slumped in his chair, holding a cigarette in his mouth. Under the light, the smoke blurred his face and eyes, but revealed a few decadent vicissitudes.
He held this action for about five minutes, waiting for the cigarette to burn out.
Chen Dong’s eyelids fluttered a little and he turned back to his senses: “Have some wine.”
He then called the club staff and asked for two bottles of Moutai, a plate of peanut rice and two fried dishes, and poured himself a drink.
In the large banquet hall.
The light stretched Chen Dong’s shadow.
A man pours himself a drink, every now and then picking two peanuts and putting them in his mouth, simple and cozy, yet desolate to the extreme.
No one knows what is going through Chen Dong’s mind at this moment.
But as time pa*sed, Chen Dong poured a gla*s of wine into his stomach, but he poured even harder!
The entrance to the banquet hall.
The two staff members who were waiting respectfully, looked at each other in disbelief.
“What is wrong with Mr. Chen?”
One of them asked in confusion.
The other, who was older, shook his head, “Such a big shot, how can we speculate? You kid have been here for a short time, don’t guess wildly.”
He said.
The older man turned around and turned back to Chen Dong in the banquet hall and said respectfully.
“Mr. Chen, the two of us will wait outside, if you have anything to order, we will not disturb your elegance, we will close the door of the banquet hall for the time being.”
“Good!”
The two of them closed the door of the banquet hall.
Then they took another step and walked to the courtyard outside the banquet hall, separated from it by a distance.
And in the banquet hall.
Chen Dong had already finished a bottle of Moutai and was halfway through the second bottle.
He did not use his qi to dissipate the alcohol, letting it rage through his body.
His cheeks flushed two shades of drunken red and his eyes became a little disoriented.
The feeling of the sky spinning and forgetting everything was something he hadn’t felt for a long, long time.
Dang!
After drinking the wine in his cup in one go and heavily putting it down.
Chen Dong’s right hand was propped up on the table, and his entire body was kept leaning forward, barely supporting himself.
His face was full of drunkenness, but he revealed a forlorn smile.
Ripples also appeared in his eyes.
“Wife, baby, this time, how on earth am I supposed to protect you all? I don’t want you guys to be affected by the ripples, but I have deduced time and time again, countless times, but I can’t find a better way, I want to win and protect you guys, I don’t have a choice, this time it’s not a choice at all, give up to win and die, don’t give up to win, there is still fight, but you guys are in danger ……”
“Ah!”
Chen Dong tilted his head violently and roared.
For a while now, he was plotting to make the southwest region his home base.
At the same time, what worried him even more was how to protect Gu Qingying and the baby.
Gu Qingying and the baby were like a lofty mountain, pressing down on his shoulders.
This roar, at this moment, will be his heart’s depression suppression, all vent out.
……
Tianmen Mountain Villa.
Gu Qingying was dressed in a robe, lying on the bed, lost in thought, staring at the television.
The door opened.
Chen Dong, who smelled of alcohol, stumbled into the room.
Gu Qingying’s agate nose was slightly wrinkled, but she hurriedly got up in shock and a*sisted Chen Dong: “Honey, what happened?”
“No, nothing!”
Chen Dong waved his hand and collapsed directly onto the bed.
The smell of smoke and alcohol was particularly pungent and unpleasant.
Gu Qingying’s agate nose wrinkled slightly as she stood by the bed, looking at Chen Dong who was lying on the bed in distress.
“You didn’t used to be so full of smoke and alcohol.”
Her red lips noodled as she said heartily.
“Haha …… yeah, I don’t know why I became like this, don’t you like the current me?”
Chen Dong lay on the bed and waved his hands.
“Chen Dong, have you thought about us or not!”
Gu Qingying’s pretty face sulked and she angrily stepped forward, dragging Chen Dong up, but looking at Chen Dong’s face full of drunkenness and exhaustion, her anger thumped away and she softly said, “I’ll undress you, go wash up before going to sleep, hard work husband.”
The words had not yet fallen.
The drunken Chen Dong suddenly embraced Gu Qingying and fell backwards.
Caught off guard, Gu Qingying let out a scream, but was unable to resist, and directly pressed her whole body against Chen Dong’s chest.
The smell of smoke and alcohol in her face instantly made her feel the urge to vomit.
However, Chen Dong’s words fell clearly into her ears.
“Wife …… well, so hard, I …… I don’t want to become, the person I hate the most ……”
