Chapter 104: Ghost in the Building



Although Hong Juncheng wanted to sell it at a price 20% lower, Lin Tao finally bought it all at cost price. Although it seemed that he was at a disadvantage, Lin Tao had a good impression of Hong Juncheng because of what he said before. What's more, Hong Juncheng was the first person to come to sell medicine.

As the saying goes, a bone is worth a fortune. Lin Tao understood this truth. As long as he made a good start, even if the Qingzhu Sect used tricks in secret, people behind him would come one after another.

One hundred kilograms of natural Chen stone was nothing to Lin Tao, as it was a weight that could be lifted with one hand, but Hong Juncheng still insisted on delivering the natural Chen stone with the clerk.

In front of the building.

The crowd around had dispersed long ago, leaving only Zheng Tuo and his two companions, Bai Fan, Liang Zeyu, and Scarface and other people from the Qingzhu Sect.

As for the burly man, it seemed that he had been beaten up by Scarface. He was lying on the ground with blood all over his head, and it was unknown whether he was still breathing.

At this time, someone had already moved a recliner over, allowing Zheng Tuo to lie comfortably on it. He crossed his legs and leisurely trimmed the long pointed nails on his hands with a nail clipper.

"Boss Zheng, we...we don't recognize you." Scarface's face flushed and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Zheng Tuo had already announced that he would take over the entire Yaocai Town, but Scarface and his men were not willing to leave easily. After all, this was the territory handed over to them by the Qingzhu Sect. If they left in disgrace, not to mention whether they could return to the Qingzhu Sect smoothly, even if they did go back, only cruel gang rules would be waiting for them.

By then, no one can guarantee life or death.

Tap tap tap…

Lin Tao and his group came back.

When Zheng Tuo saw this, he suddenly opened his narrowed eyes, stood up from the recliner, put away his nail clippers, and said with a smile: "Lin Tao, you're back?"

"Well, the quality of this batch of medicinal materials is good. It's worth the trip." Lin Tao nodded.

"Master Lin, Boss Zheng, don't worry. In the medicinal materials town, we will not use inferior products to fool people." Hong Juncheng said repeatedly.

Seeing Lin Tao coming back, even the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, Zheng Tuo, had to stand up from his recliner. Scarface's heart sank, and he quickly called out, "Brother Lin, we didn't know you were Brother Lin before, so... so..."

Before he could finish, Lin Tao glanced at him and asked, "What's going on with this Boss Hong?"

As early as when he was in the herbal medicine store, Lin Tao asked why they were able to stock up on 100 kilograms of natural Chen stone. After all, when purchasing herbs such as Tianxingcao, Linhehua, and Piaowucao in Anzheng City, even if he searched the entire herbal medicine market, there were only a few kilograms of them. Moreover, if he wanted to purchase another batch, he would have to wait for three months.

It can be said that this hundred kilograms of natural Chen stone will take at least one or two years to store.

This naturally aroused Lin Tao's suspicion. Since the scarred man in front of him was in charge of the medicinal materials town, he must know everything there was.

It turned out to be true.

Scarface told him everything.

Upon hearing that it was really in order to snatch customers and sell medicinal materials wholesale at a 10% lower price, thus offending a group of medicinal material merchants, Hong Juncheng's face turned red and purple. But when he learned that those medicinal material merchants were the merchants across from him, he became even more furious and wanted to go back and smash the place up.

Ten million!

Ten million was thrown in for nothing, just to drive him out of the medicinal materials town.

"What a bunch of sinister guys!" Hong Juncheng became even more angry when he thought of how those people had pretended to be kind and advised him in the crowd before.

"Boss Hong, as the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. You just need to be more careful next time," said Lin Tao.

"Yes, Master Lin, I understand." After Lin Tao spoke, Hong Juncheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Lin Tao's appearance and his massive purchase of natural Chen stone and other medicinal materials, he might not be able to get the money back.

Suddenly, Hong Juncheng's mind moved: "Master Lin, I heard that in addition to natural Chen stone, you also need bright core grass, extreme fog flower and other medicinal materials..."

"Can you help me with purchasing?" Lin Tao raised his eyebrows.

Zheng Tuo also looked over. He knew why Qingzhumen purchased precious medicinal materials, so he followed Lin Tao's wishes and forcibly took over the medicinal materials town.

“If it weren’t for what happened today, I might not be able to receive it even if I showed up. But now, as long as they stay in the medicinal materials town, I can definitely clear out the stock they have hidden at the bottom of the warehouse.” Hong Juncheng’s face flushed and he patted his chest to make the promise.

At this moment, the one standing here is the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, who is no match for Scarface, a small character from the Qingzhu Sect. As long as he has their support, Hong Juncheng can buy it back at a price lower than the cost with just one word.

"Oh? According to your estimation, how much there are in total?" Zheng Tuo asked.

"The quantity shouldn't be too much, but based on the number of medicinal materials needed by Master Lin, there should be two or three hundred million star coins in stock." Hong Juncheng estimated in his mind and said.

Lin Tao's eyes flickered a few times: "Zheng Tuo, transfer 500 million to Boss Hong first."

"Master Lin, isn't that too much?" Hong Juncheng was stunned.

"Don't let all the herbal medicine merchants feel cold. The Blood Wolf Gang will still have to maintain the structure of the herbal medicine town in the future." Lin Tao said this and smiled at him: "Of course, if Boss Hong has a personal grudge, I think it's better to resolve it first."

"Master Lin, this..."

"Zheng Tuo, we don't know much about medicinal herbs. Should we find someone to take care of the outskirts of this town?" Lin Tao asked Zheng Tuo.

"This..." Being able to sit on the position of the chief leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, Zheng Tuo naturally understood what Lin Tao was thinking. If he wanted to purchase medicinal materials nearby, he would have to maintain the original structure of the medicinal materials town. However, if the Qingzhu Sect was expelled, it was very likely that a large number of medicinal materials merchants would be secretly taken away, and then they would start a new territory.

Lin Tao wanted to stabilize the hearts of some merchants. As long as they were stabilized, and the wholesalers were already accustomed to coming here, even if Qingzhumen started a new territory and wanted to develop a new medicinal materials town, it would not be an easy task.

Of course, this requires a businessman who understands medicinal materials to manage it better.

Zheng Tuo nodded and looked at the fat man in front of him who looked like a ball: "Boss Hong, are you willing to help us manage this medicinal materials town?"

"I do, I do." Hong Juncheng nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

Although he had recovered his costs, he had no plans to leave the medicinal materials town. After all, he had been engaged in the medicinal materials business for quite some time, and changing careers was not easy. This time he followed Lin Tao here to find a backer so that he could continue his livelihood.

Naturally, he was very happy to get Zheng Tuo's approval.

After reporting the bank account number, Zheng Tuo also transferred 500 million Star Coins on the spot.

After Hong Juncheng and his shop assistant left, Lin Tao and others' eyes fell on Scarface again.

Scarface's face was as pale as paper. He could also hear that Zheng Tuo was determined to swallow the medicinal material town. The matter had escalated to a certain extent and it was no longer something that a small figure from the Qingzhu Sect like him could interfere with.

"By the way, why did I hear that this building is haunted?" After solving the problem of Boss Hong and the purchase of medicinal materials, Lin Tao turned around and looked at the building in front of him.

This building was a property that even the Liu family had entrusted the Blood Wolf Gang to forcibly seize. Even Bai Fan in later generations lost everything because of this property and eventually changed his name to Bai Wufan.

As early as when he was in Hong Juncheng's herbal medicine shop, Lin Tao had asked about the building. Unfortunately, even Hong Juncheng had only heard of the rumors that the building was haunted and didn't know much about it.

When Bai Fan heard this, he immediately turned around and pricked up his ears. He was also interested in this because he had never understood why Feng Lehou would be interested in the building in front of him.

Moreover, as long as Marquis Fengle opens his mouth and can afford the price, their Bai family will definitely sell it.

Not only him, but Liang Zeyu also looked over.

"Haunted?" Zheng Tuo was stunned for a moment, and then a half-smile appeared on his face, as if he had heard a joke.

"Brother Lin, what's going on?" Zheng Cheng was also surprised.

Brother Qin looked even more suspicious, glancing at the building from time to time.

Hearing about the haunted thing, Scarface's face turned pale again. Seeing Zheng Tuo's expression, he knew exactly what the other party was thinking. He waved his hands repeatedly: "Boss Zheng, Brother Lin, we don't know anything about the building. We really don't know anything at all?"

"Huh? It wasn't arranged by you?" Zheng Tuo was stunned and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Boss Zheng, if we really wanted to take over this building, why would we have waited until now? We would have taken it long ago." Scarface explained repeatedly: "The building is haunted, it's really none of our business."

Everyone was confused, except Lin Tao, who had an idea. He waved to Scarface and said, "Come with me."

Scarface had originally agreed, but when he saw that Lin Tao was heading into the building, his steps suddenly weakened and he fell to the ground: "Brother Lin, we can't go into that building, we really can't go in."

"What did you see?" Lin Tao asked.

"Ghost, it's really a ghost, there really is a ghost in the building." Even though Scarface dared to stand in front of the building, he didn't dare to enter the building.

This made Lin Tao even more confused.

Scarface's expression didn't seem fake. Zheng Tuo frowned and looked at the building suspiciously: "Could it be that ghosts really exist in this world?"

Among the crowd, Bai Fan was the most timid. Thinking about the time he walked around this building that was rumored to be haunted, his legs started to go weak.

Liang Zeyu's expression also looked a little ugly.

"How is it possible? What era is it now? We humans have begun exploring the starry sky. How is it possible that ghosts exist?" Zheng Cheng shook his head repeatedly.

He is a mecha master. If it weren't for Zheng Tuo, he would have joined the starry sky exploration team and explored one planet after another in the starry sky. How could he believe in the existence of ghosts and gods?

"Bai Fan, drive the hovercraft over here so I can be alone with him." Lin Tao said to Bai Fan.

Bai Fan was a little timid, so Liang Zeyu went over and drove the hover car out.

Lin Tao gave Zheng Tuo a look and then carried Scarface into the car with one hand.

"Tell me, what are the ghosts in the building like?" Lin Tao asked as he locked the car door.

Scarface swallowed his saliva and told him everything he knew.
