Chapter 452: Amazing and Rich!

“I’m going out to sea! I’ll leave in two days. If all goes well, I’ll be back before next Monday,” Ling Yun told them directly.

Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu exchanged looks. Finally, Qin Dongxue turned to look at Ling Yun as she questioned, “Can’t you just stay still for two days? You just came out from the crater, and you’re going out to sea in a few days. Aren’t you just asking Lingyu and I to worry about you?”

Qin Dongxue’s beautiful face paled a little. She had nearly drowned in the sea before. She knew the horrors of the sea.

“You don’t have to worry about me. I have a technique that I can only cultivate at sea. I’m only going for cultivation. I’ll be back very soon…”

The nine-tailed celestial fox, Little White, was going to go through her tribulation, but he didn’t want to tell that to the two of them at the moment. Otherwise, it’d be difficult to explain in the future.

Once Little White’s transformation was successful, and it turned into a human, he would bring her to them. That would make it easier for them to accept.

Qin Dongxue believed his words. Using a strange look, she stared at Ling Yun for a long time before she finally sighed in exasperation. “Sigh, Sister was right. Your cultivation is really strange and out of this world, I’ve never even heard about it before…”

“Brother, must you go to the sea?” Ning Lingyu’s beautiful eyes held worry and concern.

Ling Yun nodded very seriously, prompting Ning Lingyu not to worry for him.

“Then, you’d better be careful. Watch out for the weather forecast these few days. Don’t go if the weather is harsh.”

Ling Yun smiled casually as he patted Ning Lingyu’s head lightly. With confidence, he said, “Relax, I’m great with water!” As he said this, he couldn’t help but secretly peek at Qin Dongxue.

Qin Dongxue’s stunning face was blushing a little. Biting her cherry lips, she was about to explode. However, she glared harshly at Ling Yun instead, not saying a word.

“Brother, before you go out to sea, you have to tell Aunty and me first…” Ning Lingyu was starting to nag more.

Ling Yun laughed. “I’ll be back when the time comes.”

Turning his head to look at Qin Dongxue, he said, “Aunty, I need to prepare for the trip, so I’ll be leaving now…”

Qin Dongxue bit her red lip as she glared at Ling Yun. “Be careful. Don’t let yourself get bullied when you’re out there alone!”

Ling Yun knew that Qin Dongxue had always been a strong person. Smiling, he said, “Aunty, rest assured, I’m the one who’s always bullying others!”

…

Ling Yun left Qingshui Wharf, returning to Qingxi Villa District’s Mansion Number One.

Cui Lao and Little White had yet to return. However, Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu had been waiting at the mansion for a long time. When Ling Yun arrived, Dugu Mo was giving Tie Xiaohu pointers on martial arts.

Seeing this, Ling Yun couldn’t help but laugh quietly. He said telepathically to Tie Xiaohu, “No matter who teaches you, it’s fine. But you can only learn battle tactics. Don’t learn techniques from them. I’ll teach you those.”

Tie Xiaohu nodded to show that he understood, and the four of them entered the mansion together.

After they were seated, Ling Yun asked in a deep voice, “Any news on Wang Lei?”

Tang Meng said directly, “According to the investigation by the police, two days before Wang Lei got into trouble, he suddenly received one million in his bank account.”

Ling Yun laughed coldly. It was exactly as he thought. He immediately asked, “Did you figure out where that one million came from?”

This was the key.

Tang Meng shook his head and said, “We only found out that it was a bank account from the city. The police are still investigating the rest. They need time.”

If the person who wanted to kill him was still in the city, the problem would be much more serious.

Without changing his expression, he said, “Wang Lei’s death was very strange. It’s likely that he was murdered then tossed into the river. The account from the city is the key. You have to find out who is behind it!”

“Listen, you have to tell Uncle Tang to investigate this matter secretly. He has to do it fast and not alert anyone. Otherwise, we might alert the enemy!”

Tang Meng nodded to show that he understood. Turning to look at Tie Xiaohu, Ling Yun asked him about his news too.

Tie Xiaohu said in a deep voice, “Brother Yun, I arranged for Green Dragon’s subordinates to look into it. They’ve obtained information that one of his good friends, Li Gang, disappeared the day after Wang Lei got into trouble!”

Hearing this, Ling Yun furrowed his brow immediately. A glimmer of gold flashed passed his eyes as he asked quickly, “He’s dead?”

Tie Xiaohu shook his head. “According to Wang Lei’s wife, Li Gang is probably still alive. But, it seems like he’s left Qingshui City…”

Hearing this, Ling Yun celebrated internally. He had confidence that Li Gang was one of the eyewitnesses for this matter.

If nobody was watching Ling Yun, they wouldn’t have timed the crash so perfectly. It wasn’t something someone could do just like that.

“Investigate! Investigate it thoroughly! Get to the bottom of the matter! Figure out who is behind that account from the city and find Li Gang. If he’s dead, bring me his corpse. If he’s alive, bring me his body!”

A flash of dark killing intent appeared in Ling Yun’s eyes. Seeing that, Tang Meng and the others felt chills run down their back. They wondered why Ling Yun was so agitated over a regular person.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Your Brother Yun is doing a good deed for once here, isn’t that great?” Ling Yun asked casually.

Tang Meng chuckled. “It’s not that you can’t, Brother Yun. The problem is that it doesn’t suit you…”

Ling Yun smiled as he said, “I can be a good samaritan sometimes and do some good, you know!”

“I really don’t get you…” After listening to all that, Dugu Mo only felt that the world was an incomprehensible place. He stared at Ling Yun as if he had seen a real ghost as he returned to the courtyard to continue cultivating.

He was a little shocked by Ling Yun’s sudden progress in his abilities. So, he returned to his cultivation practice whenever he had the chance.

After that, Ling Yun received a few pieces of good news from Tang Meng. They were all great news.

First of all, it was about how Luo Zhong’s case was progressing well. After the investigation had been launched against him, he was fired from the office. They also officially opened a case-file on him. He was done for.

After that, there was still Tian Botao’s two properties — the mansion in Linjiang Garden, and Qingshui City’s two hundred square meter house. They had been sold, earning them thirteen million.

Adding that to the nine million from the man himself, Ling Yun had obtained a total of twenty-two million from Tian Botao!

The mansion Yao Rou had her eye on cost over ten million. This time, Tang Meng knew exactly what he wanted to get out of it. He told Tang Tianhao to greet Li Yifeng first, using only five million to buy it.

At the same time, Tang Meng followed Ling Yun’s request to give Liu Li and the family a mansion worth six million. Naturally, it was at half-price, so it was bought at three million.

With Ling Yun’s approval, Tang Meng truly lived up to Ling Yun’s expectations. He borrowed two billion at once, obtaining the approval of the Qingshui Commercial Bank. Now, he was handling the various administrative matters.

“Two billion? How did you do it? Don’t tell me you pawned my entire house.” Ling Yun was very curious.

Tang Meng was very proud. He smiled with pride and said, “Brother Yun, you probably don’t know how this works. With Uncle Li and my father as guarantors, as long as you find a place that has enough power to give out such a loan, you can do it!”

“They came to give the loan to us. We’ll get the money and pay the interest when the time comes. When the loan matures, we just have to return it to them!”

Tang Meng explained this simply, but it was obviously a very complicated matter that he didn’t explain.

“Just like that?” Ling Yun asked. How could it be so easy to get money?

As Tang Meng explained, he seemed even more proud. Chuckling, he said, “Brother Yun, this is what it means to have power and authority. Getting this bit of money is easy!”

With power and authority, even getting a loan became so effortless. This was the main reason why the rich become richer and the poor become poorer. Reality was cruel, and there was no way around it.

Seeing him like that, Ling Yun lifted his hand, clenching it. “Stop being so cocky. If you make a loss, just watch and see what’ll happen to you!”

Ling Yun obviously wasn’t afraid that Tang Meng would make a loss. Even if he lost everything, Ling Yun could still repay it for him immediately. Just by using a few Night-Luminescent Pearls, he could auction it and get enough money.

Of course, for a person who could borrow two billion so easily, it was probably more difficult to make a loss than to have a poor person earn one million.

That was unless they met an unavoidable natural disaster!

Tie Xiaohu said softly, “Brother Yun, you didn’t actually have to let Tang Meng take out a loan like that. Green Dragon’s Boss left three billion in the accounts for us…”

Hearing this, Tang Meng shouted strangely, “What! Life is way too unfair! I’ve been running back and forth over this, and you just found out that you have three billion in your account like that!”

“Damn, give it, give it all to me!” Tang Meng extended his hand agitatedly as he complained to Tie Xiaohu.

He was a little out of control because Tie Xiaohu had taken people to destroy the Qingyun Productions office, which was his. He was still holding a grudge with Tie Xiaohu!

Seeing this, Ling Yun laughed aloud. Hugging his stomach, he said, “Tang Meng, control yourself a little. You guys should help each other out with favors. You’re not allowed to fight over money. Earn your own keep!”

The underworld and the government were completely separate worlds. Ling Yun saw this clearly and kept it separate.

Tang Meng could only shake his head in exasperation as he said, “Brother Yun, why is it that Tie Xiaohu gets all the good stuff, and I’m so unlucky…”

Tie Xiaohu’s expression darkened as he glared at Tang Meng. “If you had the energy and ability to, I’d gladly hand Green Dragon over to you, would you even dare?”

Tie Xiaohu had been very busy for the past two days. He hadn’t had any time to even cultivate in peace. For him, who wished to improve his abilities rapidly, he felt very frustrated.

Tie Xiaohu was a cultivation maniac. Now, he had a house, a car, and no worries about food and clothing. All he wanted to do was improve his abilities.

Ling Yun had opened a large, mysterious door for him. This brand new world was filled with deadly temptations, including the position of Green Dragon’s Boss, and he was still trying to adjust to it all.

“Ugh…” Tang Meng was checkmated by Tie Xiaohu. Opening and closing his mouth, he had nothing to say.

He really dared not take over Green Dragon. He didn’t know anything about it, and he was afraid that he would mess it up.

Ling Yun laughed. “Alright, stop fighting. I have something to say.”
