Fu Mingyan listened and shook his head, saying, "Mingdao, it's not time to deal with that kid Cheng Xiaofan yet!"
"Brother, why is that?"
Fu Mingdao exclaimed indignantly.
Thinking of his embarrassing expulsion by Cheng Xiaofan, he was furious.
He couldn't wait to bring his men to Zhuxi Village, capture Cheng Xiaofan, take control of the entire village, and do as he pleased.
What particularly fueled his envy and resentment were the young women surrounding Cheng Xiaofan.
Each one was a peerless beauty, so stunningly attractive that one glance would steal your soul.
If he gained control of Zhuxi Village, he would definitely have his way with these beauties.
Thinking of this, he impatiently shouted, "Brother, one must act swiftly!"
"If I don't bring this kid down,"
"I won't be able to sleep a wink!"
Fu Mingyan glared at him and scolded, "Mingdao,"
"You're supposed to be a leader, yet you don't use your brain at all?"
"Montes is still here, can you act rashly?"
"Also, he's about to release a new drug,"
"And the China National Health Commission is waiting for his new medicine to hit the market!"
"If you make a move now, aren't you just asking for trouble?"
"..." Fu Mingdao was instantly choked into silence.
After a long pause, he finally asked, "Brother, when will that be?"
Fu Mingyan said coldly, "At least until his new drug production is complete and his spotlight fades, then we can make our move."
"No one stays in favor forever, no flower blooms for a hundred days."
"That surnamed Cheng kid, no matter how capable, won't be popular for much longer."
Fu Mingdao said resentfully, "It's infuriating,"
"When will that day ever come!"
A chilling smile appeared on Fu Mingyan's grim face.
He said, "Perhaps someone is creating the conditions for us,"
"And we'll soon be able to take down Cheng Xiaofan!"
Fu Mingdao asked curiously, "Brother, I don't understand what you mean,"
"Who exactly is helping us create the conditions to take down Cheng Xiaofan?"
Fu Mingyan smiled, "It's the Koreans!"
Everyone present was stunned.
Who was this Korean?
Did they have a past grievance with Cheng Xiaofan?
Seeing Fu Mingdao and the others looking bewildered,
Fu Mingyan's face once again showed a sinister smile.
He proudly raised his chin and said, "This Korean is my friend,"
"He's a very famous pharmaceutical manufacturer in Korea, with considerable international recognition."
"From what I understand, as soon as Cheng Xiaofan produces his new drug,"
"He will obtain its formula and production secrets."
"At that time, my friend will rush to produce a large quantity of the new drug and launch it onto the international market."
"When Cheng Xiaofan eventually launches his drug,"
"My friend will sue him for stealing his new drug's formula."
"At that point, Cheng Xiaofan will be ruined, and when he falls, everyone will push him. That's when we can finally take him down!"
Fu Mingdao slammed the table and burst into laughter.
He said, "Brother, your Korean friend is incredible!"
"It seems Cheng Xiaofan doesn't have many days left to frolic!"
"This pent-up anger will finally have an outlet!"
...
At noon.
Cheng Xiaofan was invited by Ye Shisan and the Earth God to have drinks together.
While drinking, the Earth God asked curiously, "Lord Shennong, did something auspicious happen in the village last night?"
"Even from White Python Lake, I could see the village was filled with a joyous aura!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "The King and Queen of the Land of Wafang came. They brought me two thousand five hundred tons of gold, and a golden house!"
"Ah, they brought so much gold?"
Konoe Mieko's jaw nearly dropped in shock.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Yes, I plan to use that gold to build a golden tower,"
"To guard White Python Lake, thereby gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth,"
"And create a brand new Zhuxi Village!"
The Earth God listened and clapped his hands in excitement, laughing.
He said, "This is wonderful! It seems my humble position as a local Earth God,"
"Will have a brighter future!"
Ye Shisan smiled, "Mr. Cheng, you are truly generous!"
"With so much gold, if it fell into anyone else's hands, they would never use it to build a golden tower."
"In this world, only you would be willing to do this!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said,
"I've always had a wish to turn this place into a paradise on earth,"
"I hope my wish can be fulfilled soon!"
Konoe Mieko asked, "Mr. Cheng, will you attract envy by obtaining so much gold?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "There will certainly be envious people. Some have already set their sights on this gold."
"But what can their envy do?"
Ye Shisan said, "Yes, with Mr. Cheng's abilities, anyone who dares to covet this gold is simply seeking death."
"As long as the golden tower stands here at White Python Lake, we will all be responsible for protecting it."
Ding ding ding!
As they were talking, Cheng Xiaofan's phone rang.
Cheng Xiaofan took out his phone and saw it was from Bai Yiling.
"Bai Yiling, I'm at White Python Lake right now. Is there something you need?" Cheng Xiaofan asked.
Bai Yiling smiled, "Xiaofan, I just heard from King Montes of the Land of Wafang that he and the Queen will be returning to their country tomorrow."
"What? Didn't we agree they would leave the day after tomorrow?"
Cheng Xiaofan asked curiously, "Why are they returning a day early?"
Bai Yiling smiled, "Montes just received a call saying he has urgent matters to attend to back home."
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Alright, that's his decision to make!"
Bai Yiling said, "Xiaofan, Montes wants to visit White Python Lake this afternoon. I've already prepared a helicopter to take them over."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "That's fine, but too many people would be inconvenient."
"I'll call Wu Shengnan later and ask those special police not to come along!"
Bai Yiling smiled, "Yes, that's for the best. I was also considering that with too many people, the helicopter wouldn't be able to carry everyone at once."
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Bai Yiling, please tell Mom and Dad to prepare gifts, we'll give one to each of the visitors tomorrow."
Bai Yiling smiled, "You don't need to worry about this,"
"Besides Mom and Dad, the village has already prepared gifts!"
Cheng Xiaofan heard this and smiled, "That's great, it seems I'm the last to know!"
"When Montes and the others come to White Python Lake, you will escort them the entire time."
"Here, Old Ye and Konoe Mieko will be responsible for welcoming them."
Bai Yiling asked, "What? Are you leaving White Python Lake?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Yes, I'm not cut out to be a tour guide."
