Chapter 281

It's just that, in the current Jianghu World, there are still many rules that simply haven't been broken yet.

Kuchiki Senya wasn't worried about these rules—he had more than enough ways to make the rules here his protective umbrella.

This man always gave people boundless confidence.

This confidence made Danielle Xia Pu like him more and more the longer she looked. (bccb)

"Oh right, Mr. Kuchiki, I wonder what the previous owner of this residence was called?" Zhang Ping suddenly said.

"Oh, this person was called Zhou Xianwei. He used to be a local thug and tyrant in Yangzhou, but now he's been arrested and locked up in the great prison to serve his sentence," Kuchiki Senya said.

"Is that so? Zhou Xianwei…"

Zhang Ping chewed on those words for a moment, falling into brief thought.

Meanwhile, Kuchiki Senya and Danielle Xia Pu waited quietly.

"So it was him…" After a moment, Zhang Ping shook his head: "I don't have any impression of him."

"It doesn't matter. Since Lord Zhang has no impression, then we don't have to buy this residence either. We'll just take it back at the market price, how about it?" Kuchiki Senya asked again.

"Alright." A look of relief washed across Zhang Ping's face, and he said with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Kuchiki has any interest in this residence?"

"In that case…" Kuchiki Senya looked toward Lin Aoxue, seemingly seeking the latter's opinion.

The latter shook her head: "I don't understand architectural design—you decide."

These words made it clear that Lin Aoxue understood absolutely nothing about the construction industry.

Of course, that wasn't important.

What was important was that, because this residence was simply too wonderful, Danielle Xia Pu was very interested in it. A faint blush colored her pretty face as she looked toward Zhang Ping, her gaze soft as water.

Zhang Ping caught Danielle Xia Pu's look and immediately understood her intention, so he hurriedly said: "In that case, let's trade at the price of one million."

"One million?" Danielle Xia Pu was slightly taken aback—she hadn't expected the other party to offer such a high price. After all, this residence had only just been listed and hadn't even begun to be sold yet.

"One million five hundred thousand." Kuchiki Senya once again picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of tender, juicy chicken, ate it slowly and deliberately, then said: "Lord Zhang, do you think this price is appropriate?"

"Appropriate…" Sweat broke out across Zhang Ping's forehead.

He had no idea just how valuable this residence truly was.

In this city of Yangzhou, the people who leased this residence every year paid at least tens of millions of taels of silver, yet Zhang Ping had settled it for only one million five hundred thousand—it was just like a pie falling from the sky, and this sense of happiness was so intense it reached its very peak!

Zhang Ping even had a momentary, dazed illusion—as if this entire city of Yangzhou belonged to him!

However, this thought only lingered in his mind for a few seconds before Zhang Ping hurriedly tossed it aside, then said: "Good, we'll go with the price you proposed. This residence is yours."
