Li Baolong woke up feeling incredibly refreshed. After his two "battles" with Yuanyuan, he didn't feel tired at all; in fact, his mindset seemed to have improved, which puzzled him. He thought to himself, "This is a bit strange."
Afterwards, Li Baolong called Sister Honghong and told her he wanted to introduce a friend from Jianzhou to work at her beauty salon. Sister Honghong was short-staffed, and she was overjoyed to hear this.
Around noon, Li Baolong, having nothing else to do, drove to Qingyang Palace in the city to pay his respects to Taoist Mingyue. The old Taoist Mingyue glanced at Li Baolong and exclaimed, "Wow!" He saw Li Baolong's imposing presence and the aura of good fortune shining upon him. The old Taoist thought to himself, "This Li Baolong must have recently received a great stroke of luck."
After exchanging greetings, the two sat down for tea. Li Baolong handed a packet of tea to the old Taoist priest Mingyue, saying it was a small token of appreciation from Master Qingfeng of Qingcheng Mountain. The old Taoist priest Mingyue accepted it, his eyes crinkling with laughter, saying that the gift was exactly what he wanted.
At this moment, Li Baolong looked at the cheerful Old Taoist Mingyue and said, "Master, the main reason I've come is to thank you for your hard work in translating Taoist scriptures into seal script for me last time. I also want to fulfill my promise and donate one million to the Taoist temple." Upon hearing this, Old Taoist Mingyue immediately stood up, his voice trembling with excitement, "Layman Li Baolong, your Taoist heart is truly invaluable! All my fellow Taoists must thank you for your generous assistance!"
Li Baolong smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said, "I am also a Taoist practitioner, it's just that my place of cultivation is in the mortal world. In the future, as long as I see any Taoist temples in the world in trouble, I will definitely not stand idly by and will help if I can."
"May the Heavenly Venerable grant boundless blessings." The old Taoist priest Mingyue clasped his hands together and uttered the inscription.
Li Baolong turned and walked to the door, picked up a bag of money, put it on the ground, said nothing, and left without looking back. Only the old Taoist priest Mingyue remained standing there, staring blankly at the bag of money, his respect for Li Baolong growing even stronger.
Li Baolong went to Western Jiaotong University today. What a coincidence, the school's winter break starts tomorrow. He figured he should make an appearance and visit the department head and other teachers. Last time he donated a hundred computers to the school, and the response was excellent; this time, he planned to repeat the same trick.
Upon meeting the department head, Li Baolong didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose: "Dean, I'm planning to donate a library to your school. The amount is ten million." The department head immediately stood up, grasped Li Baolong's hand tightly, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude. He then quickly called the university president to report the situation. The president, upon hearing the news, also rushed over.
In the principal's office, Li Baolong spoke with the principal and several other leaders for about half an hour. Li Baolong said, "This plan will be implemented when the next semester starts, and I will transfer the funds directly to the school's account." Upon hearing this, everyone applauded enthusiastically, creating a very lively atmosphere.
After finishing his business, Li Baolong said goodbye to the school leaders and drove home. Once home, he planned to treat Xiaoru to a hot pot restaurant near his house, inviting her and Xingxing to eat there. A short while later, Xiaoru arrived, wearing a purple trench coat, black stockings, and ankle boots. Her figure was stunning; mature women are truly beautiful. Everyone's attention turned to the mother and daughter, and then they saw her carrying Xingxing. The three of them sat down to eat together, creating a heartwarming scene. Xingxing nestled in Li Baolong's arms, repeatedly saying, "Daddy, feed me." Looking at the mother and daughter, Li Baolong felt a surge of joy; he loved this harmonious atmosphere.
Li Baolong had just returned home when his phone rang. He answered and it was Liu Na calling. Liu Na said on the phone, "Brother Long, the company registration in the Cayman Islands is done. It's registered under a Hong Kong name. I can only be the legal representative, since you're not here. Besides, it's just a shell company, set up to avoid taxes. Who the legal representative is isn't important; the key is the money in the bank account. Also, your private account at the Swiss bank is open, but there's not a single penny deposited yet. The bank said you need to deposit at least $100 million within ten days to continue enjoying VIP membership benefits." Li Baolong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it in the next few days. We'll talk more in detail when we meet in Hong Kong."
Li Baolong hurriedly took a taxi to the airport and arrived in Xiamen that night. He secretly booked a hotel without telling anyone. After resting for a while, he took a taxi straight to Mr. Lai's Wolong Pavilion. He was constantly worried about whether Mr. Lai was staying there that night. He remembered a big secret from last time: Mr. Lai had secretly deposited one billion US dollars in a Macau casino, specifically for money laundering and loan sharking. Only Mr. Lai could control the transfers in this account; he would lend money out as long as it was beneficial to him. Smugglers from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan often borrowed money from him for short-term operations; the 10% monthly interest rate wasn't low, but it was acceptable to them. Thinking about these things, Li Baolong kept his eyes fixed on the direction of Wolong Pavilion, calculating what to do next.
Li Baolong crouched in a corner of Wolong Pavilion, thinking he needed to scout out the situation first. He concentrated and scanned the area with his spiritual sense. Good heavens, he could see clearly within a radius of fifty or sixty meters, and discovered four bodyguards on duty. Looking further upstairs, he saw Mr. Lai chatting with a woman in a large room. A moment later, the woman came up behind Mr. Lai and began massaging him, her technique appearing quite skilled.
Fifteen minutes later, the woman got up and went into the adjacent bathroom, filling the large bathtub with water and adding some medicinal herbs. Seeing his opportunity, Li Baolong tiptoed about ten meters to the window of the second-floor room. He then activated his spiritual power, awakening the mark. Suddenly, Mr. Lai, thirty or forty meters away, stood up like a puppet on strings, walking to the back window and gazing into the distance. Li Baolong silently instructed him to call the financial manager of the Macau casino and transfer 980 million US dollars to his private LBL account at the Swiss bank for investment purposes. Mr. Lai indeed picked up one of the three cell phones on the coffee table and dialed.
Li Baolong stared at Mr. Lai's silhouette, his mind racing with doubt. He wasn't sure if the transfer would go through; he could only wait until tomorrow morning to have Liu Na check the results. A few minutes later, Mr. Lai hung up the phone and sat back down on the sofa. Li Baolong wasn't using his spiritual power control casually; his Taoist cultivation was insufficient, and his spiritual power was limited. After a while, he became exhausted. He released his control and found that Mr. Lai was also dozing off on the sofa.
At this moment, the woman came over and helped Mr. Lai into the bathroom, helped him take off his clothes, and laid him in the bathtub. She then followed him in to help him wash. Li Baolong used his spiritual power to observe this scene and couldn't help but gossip in his mind: "If this woman is the same Wanru from last time, so beautiful and charming, and she didn't spark anything with him while bathing together, then Mr. Lai definitely has a problem in that area."
Li Baolong was exhausted after all that, his spiritual energy mostly depleted. Back at the hotel, he called Liu Na and asked her to check if his private Swiss bank account, starting with LBL, had received any investment funds. He then collapsed into bed and slept soundly until dawn.
