After comforting Li Xuan and her daughter, Li Mu arrived at the reception hall of the wooden house.
Before even entering, I could hear the two talking, their words sounding quite amicable.
"If you're done with your work, please come and sit here."
Upon seeing Li Mu enter, Hua Tian quickly stood up and offered his seat to Li Mu, then dragged out another chair and sat down beside him.
Upon seeing Li Mu, Li Hongjun looked completely at ease, as if he had made a good buddy.
"How did the talks go?"
Li Mu's eyes swept back and forth between the two men before he casually asked Hua Tian a question.
What he wanted to ask was naturally about Hua Tiancheng's promise, and he didn't know how the two of them had made the agreement.
When Hua Tian heard Li Mu's question, he looked conflicted, as if he had something difficult to say.
Seeing this, Li Mu's face showed mild anger. He thought to himself, "Is this old guy going to go back on his word and risk his life for his money?"
"say!"
Upon hearing Li Mu's rebuke, Hua Tian turned pale with fright and his legs trembled.
The reason he was in a dilemma was that Li Hongjun was too outrageous and refused to accept his more than 2 billion yuan in cash.
Although he was reluctant to give away the money for nothing, it was money to save his life; if he didn't give it away, his life would be in danger!
"Um, senior, it's like this..."
"Mumu, it's like this, Mr. Hua has already guaranteed that he won't harm us in the future, so let's just forget about the money."
I'm also planning to sell my mining company in Australia; all future business will be based in China.
Seeing that Hua Tian was hesitant to speak, Li Hongjun spoke up directly.
"Oh! Is that so?"
After listening to Li Hongjun's words, Li Mu stared sharply at Hua Tian and asked.
He wondered if Hua Tian had some ulterior motive that made Li Hongjun refuse even the money offered for free.
If that's the case, then Hua Tian cannot be allowed to stay.
.
"Senior, I sincerely want to transfer the money to Fellow Daoist Li, but he insists on refusing it, and I really can't persuade him otherwise!"
Hua Tian, the old Taoist, stood up with his hunched back and said.
"Mumu, it's not Mr. Hua's fault. I just don't want this money. You know I don't feel at ease holding onto this kind of money."
Li Hongjun also explained.
Hearing Li Hongjun say this, Li Mu sighed inwardly once again, thinking that his second uncle was truly utterly pedantic.
You left your hometown to work hard, risked your life for a few mines, and ended up like this. Wasn't it all for making money?
Now they refuse free money and are even talking about morality and politeness with such a ruthless person.
However, he then thought that Li Hongjun might not want to accept Hua Tian's ill-gotten gains from murder and arson, and felt a little more relieved.
Seeing that Li Mu's gaze was no longer so sharp, but he was still frowning and staring at him, Hua Tian's heart, which had been in his throat, did not relax.
He was still thinking about how to give away the money he had been offered to save his life, otherwise he knew he would be in big trouble.
So he said:
“Fellow Daoist Li, how about this: I’ll add another billion US dollars to take over your Australian mining company.”
"Consider the two billion as an advance payment. However, I don't have the additional one billion right now; I'll have to pay you in installments."
Seeing that Li Hongjun seemed hesitant to speak, Li Mu immediately said:
Let's do it this way!
When Hua Tian heard Li Mu's decisive statement, a fleeting look of relief crossed his face.
The money to buy his life was finally paid, which satisfied the killer. It was truly not easy.
.
The matter should have been settled and that was the end of it, but Li Hongjun still insisted on not taking the extra 1 billion.
He had done the math in his head: all the mines in Australia combined had an investment of seven or eight billion Chinese dollars, and at their peak, they could be worth two billion US dollars.
The current stalemate between the two countries has led to a devaluation of the mines; selling them for 2 billion is already considered a high price.
He was calculating from a business perspective, without taking into account the money he paid to save Hua Tian's life.
Li Hongjun didn't want it, but Li Mu wasn't prepared to let Hua Tian have it so easily.
"Hey you, Old Master Hua, the transfer of the mine will be done according to my second uncle's wishes."
I've heard that Australia is rich in opals. Go and collect as many as you can, and ship them all to China.
Hua Tian immediately nodded and bowed, agreeing without hesitation. As for the money for collecting opals, he didn't dare mention it at all.
"There's one more thing. Whoever kidnapped my second aunt and sister, they can't be kept alive. They must be dealt with immediately."
Hua Tian nodded solemnly and agreed to do it immediately.
"What I also want to tell you is that you don't have much time left. Whether you live or die depends on how efficiently you work."
"Come find me in Jiangcheng, China, after you've finished your business. That's all for now. Arrange for us to leave as soon as possible."
Upon hearing Li Mu's words, Hua Tian felt a pang of urgency and quickly agreed, a sense of responsibility rising within him.
He had initially hoped that the internal energy injected into his body might prevent him from breaking through in martial arts, or cause his cultivation level to decline.
This confirmed that the true energy Li Mu had injected was deadly and could take his life at any moment.
Hua Tian has already arranged for Li Mu and the others to leave the island.
They could have used a helicopter, but Li Mu kicked one of the helicopter doors off, killing Billy, who knew how to fly a helicopter.
He had to call in another helicopter, which would take about two or three hours, just as dawn was breaking.
After the matter was settled, Li Hongjun went to his room, while Li Mu sat down in the living room to meditate and regulate his breathing.
.
Although it was already past midnight, Li Xuan and her mother, He Hua, were still thinking about leaving and hadn't gone to sleep.
After the two consumed the pills given to them by Li Mu, their bodies began to react half an hour later.
Because Li Xuan was young, her body didn't change much. She just felt a little hot and sticky all over, so she took a bath.
Because He Hua had been under constant stress, she experienced a strong reaction after taking the elixir.
After a period of intense heat, in addition to feeling sticky all over, I also started having diarrhea and my body emitted an unpleasant odor.
After a flurry of activity, she took a bath and felt completely refreshed.
When she changed her clothes and saw herself in the mirror, she was absolutely stunned.
Her hair turned white overnight due to worry, fear, and helplessness.
At that moment, her white hair miraculously turned back to black.
Not only that, her face was so smooth that there wasn't a single wrinkle to be found, and she looked at least ten years younger.
Even the slight protrusion of the lower abdomen that came with middle-aged weight gain has disappeared.
When Li Hongjun entered the room, he was slightly taken aback to see his wife, who had previously looked worried, now radiant.
Upon hearing that he had taken the pills given to him by Li Mu, Li Hongjun nodded, understanding that this was a blessing from Li Mu.
I haven't seen my nephew for several months, and I'm becoming more and more of a stranger to him.
He didn't believe Li Mu when he said he could take on more than a hundred people by himself, and he didn't believe Li Mu when he said he could kill someone with one punch.
As it turned out, all the boasts his nephew had made came true.
Moreover, that old man Hua was someone he looked up to, yet his nephew finished him off with just two punches.
He remembered what Li Mu had said: 'He is no longer the same Li Mu he used to be.'
Could it be that this nephew isn't the same nephew as before? That can't be, can it?
Regardless, Li Mu's concern for his family remained unchanged, and the kindness he showed was undeniable.
