Chapter 122: The Secrets of Nitan

Early morning.

Lu Chen was still sitting in the main seat of the reception hall, flipping through a newspaper with some boredom.

"Sir, a telegram for Mr. Li."

Steward Wang held the telegram in his hand, handed it to Lu Chen, and spoke softly.

"It is a good thing you reminded him quickly; the company in Piaoliang Guo intercepted Mr. Li, otherwise I fear he would be trapped in the war zone by now."

"It is good that he is safe now. Notify Xuan Hua to proceed according to the plan. Also, contact the big names in pharmaceutical research as soon as possible; if there is an existing pharmaceutical company, acquire one directly."

Lu Chen took a puff of his Cigar, a trace of relief on his face, and only after exhaling the smoke did he continue to add.

"Tell Xuan Hua to stay in Piaoliang Guo with peace of mind. They cannot do without someone there. We shall see if he can return once the flight routes are reopened later."

After finishing, he wrote a few lines on a blank sheet of paper and handed it to Steward Wang. This book is first published on Tiantiankan Novels, ttkan. tw, providing you with a smooth reading experience with no missing or out-of-order chapters.

Steward Wang nodded slightly, took the paper, and turned to leave.

Lu Chen sighed softly and continued flipping through the boring newspaper.

Although the war had begun to be reported, there was basically no substantive news; everyone said their own thing, and every piece of information was chaotic and disorganized.

One could even say it was completely the opposite of the truth.

A trace of mockery appeared at the corner of Lu Chen's mouth; it seemed Xianggang had also been dragged into the war of public opinion.

However, this was fine; at the very least, those reports attacking him no longer existed.

After a simple lunch, Steward Wang reminded him that he had a meeting with Feizai in the afternoon.

Lu Chen nodded slightly and returned to the bedroom to change his clothes.

Only then did he head to Central with Chen Mo.

Arriving at the same tea room as last time, Lu Chen found that Feizai was already waiting for him.

"I am truly sorry, lunch was a bit late today."

Lu Chen shook hands with Feizai with some embarrassment and offered a soft explanation.

"You are the big boss, so you are naturally busy. I am fine."

Feizai had one arm propped in front of him, wrapped in a bandage.

He grimaced as he stood up, shook hands with Lu Chen lightly, and immediately sat back down.

The whole room seemed to shake as if there had been an earthquake.

Lu Chen did not mind, but a look of curiosity appeared on his face.

"Feizai, what happened to you..."

"Hey, I didn't reach an agreement with the remnants of Old Zhao's forces yesterday. I got injured, which caused a delay in Mr. Lu's affairs."

Feizai took a puff of his 555, his face devoid of any expression, though he added a timely touch of embarrassment when he spoke.

"We originally wanted to peacefully integrate the remnants of Old Zhao's side, but they insisted on finding the culprit."

As Feizai spoke, he glanced at Lu Chen's expressionless face before speaking softly.

"Old Wang said it wasn't Liu Xiaofeng who did it. As for the specifics, we aren't sure either."

"The culprit is a terrorist organization. Old Wang should have told you that too. Since they want to court death, let them go."

Lu Chen looked deeply at Feizai before speaking softly.

"It has been a while since you looked for me. If I don't look for you, will you never come?"

"You are really wronging me there."

Feizai showed a look of helplessness, took a puff of his 555, and stubbed it out.

"It's not that I don't want to come find you, it's that I have had absolutely no time. You know how many things have happened in Nitan during this period."

After a few seconds, he spoke again.

"If you hadn't made an appointment with me, I would still be rolling around in the mud in Nitan right now."

"Don't try to brush me off. Do you think you have grown and strengthened in Nitan?"

Lu Chen looked deeply at Feizai, took out his cigar case, pulled one out, and handed it to Feizai.

He preheated one for himself, and after a long while, took a puff and slowly exhaled the smoke.

"Tell me, how long until Nitan is integrated?"

"You have really stumped me there. In the short term, it is unlikely. However, it won't affect your construction."

Feizai looked deeply at Lu Chen, took several puffs of the cigar, and then spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.

"Old Wang and Old Sun already reached an agreement with them yesterday. The combat zone is limited to the southwest direction of Nitan, which is a distance away from your side."

"Fine, as long as it doesn't affect us. The area you marked out must be cleaned up afterward."

Lu Chen looked deeply at Feizai and stood up to leave the tea room.

Chen Mo placed a briefcase on the table.

"Do your job well for the boss. You have received quite a lot from the boss already, haven't you, Feizai?"

Chen Mo's voice sounded again.

"If you have any issues in the future, communicate with me in time. If you let the boss encounter danger again next time, I won't be polite."

Lu Chen's mouth curled up slightly as he walked directly downstairs.

"Boss, Feizai said that regarding this incident, the other side seems convinced that Liu Xiaofeng did it."

After Chen Mo came out, he quickly caught up to Lu Chen and spoke in a low voice.

"The conclusion from Miss Luosha's side does not seem to be accepted by the people on the other side. Furthermore, it seems some gangs on the other side have secretly intervened. They had already reached an agreement, but the other side changed their minds at the last minute."

After a few seconds, Chen Mo continued to add quickly.

"When Old Wang and the others went to negotiate yesterday, the other side agreed to designate the war zone, but there is a Betting Agreement."

Lu Chen nodded slightly without speaking, but once he returned to the car, he began to ponder.

In truth, Lu Chen did not care about the control of Nitan; after all, he was the landlord, and no matter how much those gangs stirred up trouble, the moment construction was completed, the ecological niche would change.

But this uncontrollable force gave Lu Chen a bad feeling.

An accident?

Or a variable?

Or had international forces intervened?

Should he notify Luosha?

Lu Chen was unsure; after all, he was never a person of the underworld, and managing these matters was a bit overstepping his bounds.

"Go home."

After Chen Mo got into the car, Lu Chen spoke softly.

Upon returning to the Zhuangyuan, Lu Chen found Steward Wang and gave him a few quiet instructions.

Only then did he return to the study and record all the information he had obtained into a small notebook.

After writing and sketching for a while, Lu Chen tossed it into his portable space.

He let out a long breath, a flash of sharp light crossing his eyes, and rubbed his throbbing temples.

Nitan was truly becoming more and more chaotic now, just like a whirlpool.

It made it increasingly difficult for Lu Chen to see through it!

Lu Chen could be almost certain that those intervening in the Xianggang underground forces were definitely from other regions.

Forces like Wei Er, the foreign firms, and the like, simply did not look down upon the meager gray income of Nitan.

They would even avoid Nitan entirely to avoid suspicion.

Only those foreign gangs would possibly send people into Nitan.

After a long while, Lu Chen sighed.

Finally, he picked up the phone and dialed a string of numbers.

"I am looking for Luosha."

"Miss Luosha is at the racecourse; you may call back in half an hour."

After the Saimachang staff member replied to Lu Chen, they continued to ask.

"You may leave your name, and once Miss Luosha finishes her race, I will notify her immediately."

"Lu Sanbao."

Lu Chen hung up the phone, sighed, took a sip of coffee, and slowly preheated a Cigar.

He waited for Luosha's call.
