Chapter 278 The Philanthropist King 2
"Mr. Chen, I know what to do!"
Chen Dongang has already said that, if I still don't understand, then I'm a fool!
"Once you're in the game, you're not in control of your own destiny!"
Chen Dongang sighed and said, "Alright, that's all for now. I've given your phone number to Li Pingchuan. Just wait for him to contact you!"
"good!"
I nodded.
Less than half an hour after the call ended, Li Pingchuan called back.
We didn't talk much on the phone, we just made an appointment, and he said he would come over the day after tomorrow.
An hour later, Fatty Lin returned.
After the Liu family's matter was resolved, Fatty Lin went out and lived a dissolute life every day.
"Fatty, we've got a job!" I said.
"What job?" Fatty Lin asked weakly, slumped on the sofa, looking completely exhausted.
"Have you heard of Li Pingchuan?" I asked.
"You absolutely have to hear this!"
Fatty Lin suddenly perked up: "A lucky guy who inherited billions from actress America—the epitome of a gigolo!"
"What, does he want our help?"
"I asked, Fatty Lin."
"right!"
I nodded and recounted Chen Dongang's phone call.
"Crazy, I reckon if we hadn't taken that hit from Third Master, we wouldn't have gotten this job!" Fatty Lin said.
"Definitely!" I said.
Chen Dongang had warned Third Master twice before.
Some forces are of the same lineage, and Chen Dongang represents the lineage from Shanghai.
The Shanghai faction has consistently had members on the board of directors over the years.
The fact that the current chairman of Shanghai is about to take over the board of directors after the semi-retirement of the elder brother of the eldest brother, Mr. Huai, speaks volumes.
The saying goes, "Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner." We were ambushed by the Liu family, and instead of protecting his own, Third Master, the owner, wanted to take this opportunity to make peace with the people who beat his dog.
The key point is that Third Master knew perfectly well why we were being retaliated against, and he even sent people to help us.
In this situation, for Third Master to compromise is both beneath him and a loss of face. One can't help but wonder, what exactly do you want? Why do you want to make friends with everyone and exchange every kind of benefit for others? Do you want to fly to the sky, or does your Hua family want to fly to the sky?
Some things, if you don't weigh them, they're nothing; but if you do, they're incredibly heavy.
Third Master's antics have already become too much for some to bear.
If Third Master doesn't change his ways after this and continues to act so arrogantly, he might get locked up in solitary confinement.
The reason my brother and I are valued is not because we are so great. There are plenty of people in China who know feng shui and acupuncture; they don't need us.
But there are very few people in China who can use witchcraft as skillfully as Nier, capable of killing you at will.
If someone like Nier were in Third Master's hands, wouldn't all those above be afraid?
In particular, the way that Japanese woman was killed this time was a bit too violent, which frightened some people.
That's alright, the main problem is Nier's method of using poison.
The Japanese woman was infected not because she drank the red wine Nier handed her, but simply because she touched the wine glass Nier had taken.
This was no secret; it was even exposed the day after the Japanese woman died.
It is said that someone spent 100,000 yuan to get first-hand information from a model who left that day.
After this incident was exposed, Nier got a new nickname: Black Widow.
Some people even placed bets on how long I could survive under Nier's control.
Not only that, the big boss also called me and told me that someone in the industry was planning to drug me in order to make huge profits, hoping to make it seem like I was having an affair, and then provoke Ni'er to kill me.
I'm fucking speechless.
I checked the odds they offered; if I don't survive a month, the payout is 5 to 1.
There's a saying that goes something like this: when capital has a 300% profit margin, it dares to trample on all human laws.
With a payout of 1 to 5, I'm not surprised at all what they might do.
Now that we've had a half-fallen-out with Third Master, many people are relieved, at least they don't have to worry about Nier harming them anymore.
Therefore, the job that Chen Dongang introduced this time is like a small reward.
"You lunatic, you're just being nosy. We need to ask President Chen what's really going on with Li Pingchuan. We can't just give him advice without knowing the facts!"
After finishing his analysis, Fatty Lin pondered for a moment and then said...
"Isn't it a bad idea to just ask?" I said.
"What's wrong with it!"
Fatty Lin snorted and said, "Those of us in this line of work have to be thick-skinned. If you won't hit me, I will!"
After saying that, he took out his phone and called Chen Dongang.
"Mr. Chen, this is Xiao Lin. I heard from Crazy that you introduced us to a job?"
After the call connected, Fatty Lin put on a smiling face and greeted him.
"Yes, Li Pingchuan has a slight health problem and would like you to take a look!"
Chen Dongang said.
"Mr. Chen, may I ask you something?" Fatty Lin asked cautiously.
"What are you pretending for, kid? Just spit it out!" Chen Dongang said with a laugh.
"Mr. Chen, you know our line of work. The worst thing about helping someone is when they conceal something. If we cure them, we'll have to bear the consequences because of their concealment!"
"In that case, we've lost both our wife and our army!"
"Mr. Chen, I'd like to ask, how serious is the matter concerning Li Pingchuan?"
Fatty Lin still didn't speak directly, but instead adopted a roundabout strategy.
Chen Dongang didn't answer directly. Instead, he thought for a few seconds before saying, "His situation is somewhat similar to the ring I showed you. The difference is that with that ring, I was passive, but with his situation, he took it on voluntarily!"
"Mr. Chen, do you mean that Li Pingchuan took over some problematic antiques and then got into trouble?" Fatty Lin asked.
"That's right!"
Chen Dongang said.
"Okay, I understand!" Fatty Lin replied.
"Xiao Lin, let me add one more thing: when you're doing consultations for Li Pingchuan, don't investigate too much, like how he acquired his wealth!" Chen Dongang said.
"Is there anything else we need to be careful about?" Fatty Lin asked.
"There's a lot more to Li Pingchuan than meets the eye. If he comes to you, just treat him normally. Don't force it if you can't figure it out!"
Chen Dongang continued.
"I understand, I understand!"
Fatty Lin glanced at me. This was the same thing Chen Dongang had told me before; it meant very little, not to try too hard.
"Also, if you want to know more, you can learn about the major cultural relic theft and smuggling case that happened in Chengde in 02!" Chen Dongang said.
"Oh, I see!"
Fatty Lin nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Fatty Lin tapped the table and said, "Crazy, this Li Pingchuan might be a front man!"
