Chapter 142 Cuckoo in the Nest



“Yes, tell Yongze that secrecy must be the top priority,” Shen Lang added.

"Okay, I got it, bro."

He Yongze, who was far away in X city, was wearing a safety helmet and supervising the construction at the Qingyun Mountain construction site.

As the phone rang.

"Yang-ge, where are you? Didn't we agree that I'd come over and watch over you for half a day? It's almost afternoon, why aren't you coming over to relieve me?" He Yongze complained after answering the phone.

After all, the weather in X City in June is unbearable for most people. It's only on the mountain that you can feel a bit of cool breeze. Otherwise, a pampered young master like He Yongze would have been sunburned long ago.

Zhang Chengyang laughed and said, "Yongze, I'll leave you in my care these next few days. I'll be spending a few days in Sanya with Brother Lang."

"Damn it, Yang, you're not loyal to me!" He Yongze immediately became anxious upon hearing this. "You tricked me into coming here and then went on vacation to Sanya?"

"What are you talking about? I came to Sanya to report to Brother Lang and spend a few days with him," Zhang Chengyang retorted.

He Yongze cursed, "You're talking nonsense. Tell me, why are you calling? You're not here to brag to me, are you?"

Getting down to business, Zhang Chengyang cleared his throat and said, "Let me relay Brother Lang's instructions..."

Before Zhang Chengyang could finish speaking, Shen Lang waved and took the phone from him.

Then he took his phone and walked to a corner.

After Shen Lang left, Zhu Ziqi whispered in Zhang Chengyang's ear, "Brother Yang, what does your brother do? And what were you guys talking about? I don't understand."

Zhang Chengyang smiled and replied, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Oh." Zhu Ziqi lowered her head, seemingly aggrieved.

After a while, Shen Lang came over and returned the phone to Zhang Chengyang.

Qin Shiya then asked, "Chengyang, have you eaten? If not, I'll make you something."

Zhang Chengyang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, sister-in-law, I'll just have some abalone and lobster later."

Having often eaten with Shen Lang, Zhang Chengyang naturally understood that Yu Xian'er only cooked for Shen Lang.

Qin Shiya only cooked for Shen Lang and his young wives.

He didn't think he was lucky enough to eat Qin Shiya's cooking.

Zhu Ziqi chimed in, "Yes, no need for you to trouble yourself, sister-in-law. Chengyang and I will just grab something to eat later."

Qin Shiya glanced at Zhu Ziqi, then looked at Zhang Chengyang: "Okay, then you two chat."

"Honey, I'll go back to my room now," Qin Shiya said to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang nodded.

Qin Shiya then turned and left the poolside.

"Honey, honey, I won! I won!" Shuang'er, who had just finished her competition with Xia Bingyan, skipped over to Shen Lang in a bathrobe, grabbed his arm, and boasted, "I spun Xia Bingyan around three times! Hahaha! Aren't I amazing!"

Shen Lang patted her head: "Amazing, my Shuang'er is the most amazing."

"Reward! Reward! Quickly!" Upon hearing Shen Lang's praise, Shuang'er hurriedly raised her head and pouted.

Shen Lang also generously stamped his mark on her lips.

Xia Bingyan then walked over in a bathrobe, panting, and said, "Sister Shuang'er, you're bullying me!"

"Hehehe!" Shuang'er stuck out her pink little tongue at Xia Bingyan, then quickly ran away.

Xia Bingyan walked to Shen Lang's side, her face full of unhappiness.

"What are you doing comparing yourself to her, you little fool!" Shen Lang said affectionately, gently pinching her nose.

"Hmph, she tricked me," Xia Bingyan said with a huff.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore." Shen Lang hugged Xia Bingyan and kissed her on the lips.

Then, Xia Bingyan's face perfectly illustrated what it means for the weather in June to change in an instant.

Xia Bingyan's face lit up with joy in an instant, and she said, "Honey, you're so sweet! I'm going to wash up now!"

He then ran away quickly.

"Brother Yang, how many wives does your brother have?" Zhu Ziqi asked incredulously.

Zhang Chengyang thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know either, but there are quite a lot."

Zhang Chengyang categorized all the women connected to Shen Lang as his sisters-in-law, including Gu Nanyi, whom he sent to the United States for treatment.

Fortunately, Shen Lang couldn't read minds, otherwise he probably could have slapped Zhang Chengyang to death.

After Xia Bingyan left, Shen Lang glanced at Zhang Chengyang for two seconds, then lay back on the recliner, picked up a glass of chilled watermelon juice, and took a sip.

Zhang Chengyang took out a bank card from his pocket, handed it to Zhu Ziqi, and said, "Go out and have a look around. There's 500,000 in this card, and the password is six zeros."

Zhu Ziqi wasn't stupid; having managed to get close to Zhang Chengyang, she naturally understood his intentions. She took the bank card without hesitation and smiled, "Then I'll go shopping and buy you some clothes while I'm at it."

Zhang Chengyang nodded without saying anything.

After Zhu Ziqi left, Zhang Chengyang sat on the lounge chair to Shen Lang's left. At this point, they were the only two people at the outdoor swimming pool.

"Has the Sunrise Group made any moves recently?" Shen Lang asked.

Zhang Chengyang shook his head: "Xuri has been much more well-behaved lately. They voluntarily withdraw from any projects that compete with the three of us."

Shen Lang gently shook his head and said, "That won't work. Fish will get thin if they don't eat."

“Okay, I understand, brother.” Zhang Chengyang immediately understood the meaning behind Shen Lang’s words.

“Guosheng and Canglang have been getting a bit too much attention lately, let Yaotang handle it,” Shen Lang said casually. “After we get back, the three of you should form a chamber of commerce and then expand outwards under that name. X City is still too small, and we can’t eat all the fish in the pond.”

"Okay, bro," Zhang Chengyang replied.

Then he cautiously moved a little closer to Shen Lang and asked in a low voice, "Brother, did you do this to the Zhao family?"

Shen Lang nodded, not denying it in front of Zhang Chengyang.

After all, the massacre of the Zhao family had caused widespread panic among families in X City, including the Zhang family, to which Zhang Chengyang belonged.

Because they didn't know who was behind it, they were all afraid that one day this butcher's knife would be turned against their own families.

The Xu family was the most terrified of all.

Xu Tianying did not believe that Shen Lang had wiped out the entire Zhao family simply because Zhao Zesheng had spoken rudely.

Xu Tianying, who had spent half his life in the business world, naturally understood the principle of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" very well.

Afterwards, Xu Tianying was especially grateful for the choice she had made.

Zhang Chengyang breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Shen Lang's reply.

He had been worried about this for several days, especially during the days when Shen Lang was away, the Zhang family was even more uneasy.

On the campus of USTC, a short-haired young man wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt is sitting on the edge of the playground, holding an old-fashioned book and reading it carefully.

His brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed.

"Hi, Lin Chen, let's go play ball!" A passing student ran up to the short-haired youth and invited him.

The short-haired young man looked up and smiled, "No, I have something to do later."

"Okay." The student didn't insist and ran towards the court with the basketball.

No one could have imagined that the original Lin Chen was already dead, and his soul had been devoured by an imperial soul named Zhao Wuji, who then took over his body.
