Chapter 167 Begging You to Invest
After the call was made, Chen Yang directly instructed Zhu Que, "Zhu Que, have the brothers from the Jinling branch of the Heavenly Doctor Hall go to the Zhou family mansion and protect the people inside."
Zhu Que immediately replied, "Yes," and hung up the phone.
It was about five minutes later.
Five minutes later, Zhou Sinian paced nervously in the villa hall. He was worried about his parents, wife, and children in the Zhou family mansion, and he was worried about those clan members.
Although Zhou Sinian did not live at the Zhou family's residence, he had a lot of influence. In fact, after mingling in Qingzhou for less than half a year, he would be transferred to Jinling City. Once he was officially appointed to Jinling City, he would formally become the head of the Zhou family.
The people of the Zhou family already treated Zhou Sinian as their patriarch.
Zhou Sinian bore a heavy responsibility, and he understood that old woman Meng Ya wanted to control him with disgusting insects, all for the purpose of controlling the Zhou family and thus controlling all of the Zhou family's mines and wealth.
At this moment, Zhou Sinian's phone rang. It was a video call. He glanced at it and saw that it was his wife calling, so he quickly answered.
On the other side, there was a scene of blood and chaos. His wife, son, and parents all stood in a disheveled state on the other end of the camera.
Upon seeing Zhou Sinian, his wife immediately burst into tears and said, "Sinian, thank you for your friends. Thank you for arriving in time to save us, to save the lives of all our clan members."
Hearing this, Zhou Sinian immediately relaxed. He slumped onto the sofa, wiping away tears, and said, "Good, good. Take care of yourselves. I will return to Jinling Temple tomorrow to visit you."
Zhou Sinian spoke with his wife for a while and then hung up the phone.
He stood up and cupped his fists towards Chen Yang.
Chen Yang casually waved his hand and said, "I won't handle the matter of your villa. You can take care of the cleanup."
Zhou Sinian quickly walked over and grabbed Chen Yang's arm. He said, "Mr. Chen, please stay. There is one more thing I would like to ask Mr. Chen to agree to. It is this: please take over the Zhou family's assets and formally invest, taking a 51% stake in our Zhou family."
Hearing Zhou Sinian say this, Chen Yang frowned and turned to look at Zhou Sinian. "Old Zhou, what do you mean by this?"
Zhou Sinian knelt down again with a "plop" and said, "Mr. Chen, I am not purely giving you 51% of the shares and assets for free. I am doing so out of necessity."
"Mr. Chen has seen that our Zhou family was almost wiped out tonight. In fact, I understand the principle of 'carrying a treasure that invites disaster'."
"Previously, our Zhou family was fortunate enough to acquire several large rare earth mines. In the past, no one paid attention to the value of rare earth mines. But now everyone understands that rare earth is an indispensable raw material for the manufacturing of various high-end materials and weapons."
"And there are no such rare earth mines abroad, so they will inevitably continue to try to snatch this precious mineral source from me!"
"Our Zhou family is like an infant walking in a busy market with a large piece of gold in its arms. Now, people all over the world know that our Zhou family has abundant rare earth mine resources, and compared to other major families and forces, our Zhou family is too weak. This is truly 'carrying a treasure that invites disaster'!"
"So, even if our Zhou family narrowly escaped this disaster tonight, what about next time? If Mr. Chen doesn't arrive in time next time, our Zhou family will still be finished."
"Therefore, I implore Mr. Chen to invest in our Zhou family. We are even more willing to give the rare earth mines to Mr. Chen to manage. Mr. Chen is, after all, a Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Doctor Hall, and I believe you have a need for rare earth mines."
"Moreover, I have long heard that the Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Doctor Hall is a great contributor to our country. We are willing to give it all even if it is completely gifted."
Chen Yang stood there and pondered for a moment. He nodded and said, "Alright, I agree. I will have my brothers under me take more care of the safety of your Zhou family, and the security of the rare earth mines will also be handled by our Heavenly Doctor Hall."
Hearing this, Zhou Sinian nodded incessantly with gratitude.
It was past eleven o'clock at night when he returned from Zhou Sinian's villa to his home in the urban village.
Liu Ran and Su Ya were already asleep.
Su Ya had not been staying at a hotel for the past few days. She had moved into Liu Ran's home with peace of mind. This meant that Chen Yang had to be even more careful.
Because Su Ya was sometimes too shrewd, a slight carelessness on his part could expose his identity.
Chen Yang carefully washed off the bloodstains and then quietly returned to his room to sleep.
The next day, Chen Yang pretended to be yawning and walked out of the bedroom.
As soon as he came out, he saw Liu Ran and Su Ya in the courtyard, wearing nightgowns, discussing something excitedly while washing up.
Chen Yang glanced over and turned his head away awkwardly.
Liu Ran's nightgown was acceptable. After all, it was still knee-length, and this was Liu Ran's home. It was fine for Liu Ran's husband to see her wearing a seductive nightgown.
But Su Ya's nightgown was a completely white knitted slip dress! It was not only short but also semi-transparent. Chen Yang dared not look any further; his eyes would surely commit a crime.
Chen Yang coughed and said, "I'm going out to buy some breakfast. You two quickly tidy up and get dressed. What kind of behavior is this?"
Hearing this, Su Ya chuckled and looked at Chen Yang, saying, "Driver Chen, you're so afraid of your wife that it's in your bones! I'm staying at your house, and I'm not even shy. Instead, you're the one getting shy. Have you forgotten what happened on the boat last time?"
Chen Yang was stunned by Su Ya's words and was greatly startled. He quickly coughed and said to Su Ya, "Manager Su Ya, please don't talk nonsense! Nothing happened between us. I'm going to buy breakfast."
After saying that, Chen Yang hurried out the door.
Liu Ran looked at Su Ya curiously and asked, "Su Ya, did something happen between you and Chen Yang on the boat?"
Su Ya covered her mouth and laughed, immediately shaking her head and saying, "No, no, I was just teasing him!"
"After spending these past few days together, Liu Ran, I've found that although your husband seems idle and aimless in his daily life, he is still a gentleman. You will surely be very happy after you get married."
Liu Ran's face turned red upon hearing this. She quickly grabbed Su Ya's arm and said, "Alright, senior Su Ya. I told you before that your nightgown is too revealing, but you didn't listen. Look how scared Chen Yang is, he doesn't even dare to come into the house. Hurry and change, and stop teasing him."
Su Ya walked dejectedly into the room, muttering, "If I wear something revealing, I'm the one who loses out! How am I bullying him? Are you completely siding with your husband after getting married?"
When Chen Yang returned with breakfast, Liu Ran and Su Ya had already finished washing up.
Liu Ran opened her phone at this time and checked the mall for her "Yang Yang Yang" brand design company. Seeing the orders in the mall backend, Liu Ran let out a sharp cry.
She said in disbelief, "What's going on? I didn't stream live last night, so how... how did so many orders suddenly appear? Oh my god! Over thirteen thousand orders. Could someone be setting a trap for us again?"
