"Monkey, you're right. I was careless today. I'm a gangster boss, what's the point of talking about chivalry with a businessman? It's just that his four bodyguards are not to be trifled with."
"Brother, no matter how strong they are, there are only four of them. We have dozens of people, and we can easily wear them down."
A cold glint flashed in the scorpion's eyes. "Done."
The monkey continued to offer advice: "Brother, we only want cash. Let him pay in cash. That way, there will be no transaction record. Even if he calls the police, they can't do anything to us without evidence."
Upon hearing this, the scorpion couldn't help but look at the monkey with newfound respect; this kid's brain had suddenly become sharper today.
He picked up an apple from the table and tossed it to the monkey, laughing, "This is your reward. If this succeeds, I'll personally reward you with five thousand yuan."
"Thank you, brother."
The monkey chuckled, then turned and went downstairs to throw out the trash.
Scorpion picked up his phone and dialed Chen Ze's number; the call was quickly answered.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, my second brother was too impulsive today. I apologize to you on his behalf."
The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Boss Scorpion, that location is not only in the suburbs, but also in the very edge of the suburbs. You're asking for 5 million right off the bat. You're not serious about doing business. I'll say it again: I only want those ten houses at the entrance of the village, at 10,000 per square meter. I had someone calculate that it's about 300 per house."
"Mr. Chen, I can agree to your price of three million, but I insist on payment in cash."
"No problem, Boss Scorpion. I'll have the bank prepare the cash for me tomorrow, but it will probably take some time, around the afternoon."
“Okay, Mr. Chen, I’ll meet you at the village entrance tomorrow afternoon to make the deal.”
Once the two parties reached an agreement, Scorpion hung up the phone.
The woman behind him said sweetly, "Darling, you reached an agreement with that boss alone, don't you need to tell Leopard?"
Scorpion snorted coldly: "That guy is more trouble than he's worth. Talking to him will most likely ruin things. He's a brainless idiot. Just give him a share of the profits after things are done."
The woman giggled and said, "Darling, you're so naughty. Leopard has lost all his money to you. Even if the money ends up in his hands, it will soon become yours."
Scorpion chuckled smugly: "He thinks he can outsmart me with that brain of his? He's too green."
The woman asked curiously, "Honey, I didn't see you cheat at the time, so how did you win every hand, especially since the dealer was also a three-of-a-kind player?"
Scorpion pulled the woman onto his lap, his large hands roaming over her body, a wicked grin on his face: "I bribed the dealer a long time ago, and Leopard is still completely in the dark."
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
The next afternoon, Chen Ze arrived at the village entrance with his bodyguards, and a henchman led them into an empty house.
When the Scorpion Boss saw Chen Ze enter, a smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Chen, has all the money arrived?"
Chen Ze laughed and said, "Boss Scorpion, I wouldn't dare to give you money directly when dealing with you. I have to guarantee my safety."
Scorpion cursed inwardly: This guy is so cautious.
"Mr. Chen, how do you suggest we make the deal?"
Chen Ze smiled and said, "Of course, we'll follow the rules of the underworld. It's cash on delivery. You'll have to come with me to complete the transfer of ownership for these ten houses before I can give you the money."
Scorpion sneered inwardly, "Even if I transfer the house to you, I can still make sure you can't leave Shanghai."
On the surface, he still pretended to be indifferent.
"No problem, Mr. Chen. I am sincere in doing business with you. Let's go and complete the formalities now."
Chen Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing the scorpion's expression, trying to find a flaw in it.
"Boss Scorpion, shall we set off now? But I must warn you, don't try anything funny, my men are waiting outside."
Scorpion laughed heartily: "Boss Chen, what are you saying? I, Scorpion, am a man of my word in this business."
So, the group got up to proceed with the transfer of ownership. However, each person had their own agenda, making the transaction anything but peaceful.
After the two completed the transfer procedures, Chen Ze received ten property ownership certificates.
Scorpion asked, "Boss Chen, where's my money?"
"Boss Scorpion, don't panic. I've already sent someone to drive the money to Happiness Village. It should be arriving soon."
Scorpion chuckled: "Boss Chen, you'll have to come with me, otherwise I'll have to pay less and then I won't know where to find you."
Chen Ze replied nonchalantly, "No problem."
Soon after, the group returned to the village entrance and saw an Isuzu truck parked there.
The scorpion instructed the monkey, "Go open the carriage and check if there's any money inside."
"Yes, boss."
The monkey climbed onto the truck, opened the back door, and inside were neatly arranged boxes of goods.
The monkey used a knife to cut open a box and found that it was indeed full of bright red hundred-yuan bills.
Then he turned to the boss and said, "Boss, the goods are correct, they're all loaded with money."
Chen Ze smiled at Scorpion: "Boss Scorpion, I'm a man of my word, aren't I? Our deal is done, I'm leaving now."
"Wait, Mr. Chen, I have seen the money, but I haven't counted it yet. With so much money, thirty million, if you're short four or five hundred thousand, I won't be able to tell. So please wait in that house at the village entrance for a while, and I'll let you leave only after I've confirmed that the money is all there."
Chen Ze gave him a look of disdain. All he wanted was to detain him, and he even gave a bunch of reasons. But he was prepared and not afraid of him.
"Monkey, take ten brothers and escort Boss Chen to his house at the village entrance to rest. Remember to collect their cell phones."
"Okay, boss."
Then, Monkey led ten people, all armed with cold weapons and sabers, and brought Chen Ze and his four companions into the room to watch them.
Scorpion waved his hand and ordered, "Drive the truck to the warehouse and count how much money we have in total."
"Yes, elder brother."
Soon, a blond-haired man drove the truck to the warehouse.
Scorpion's Audi followed closely behind.
Upon arriving at the warehouse, the henchmen began moving boxes into the warehouse one by one.
Little did they know, someone was watching their every move from a window of a house.
This person was Zeng Bojian. He glanced at the house and then left, secretly going to find the leopard.
Meanwhile, Leopard was still drinking and bragging with his buddies.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and everyone turned to look at the doorway.
Zeng Bojian rushed in: "Brother Leopard, something bad has happened! Scorpion sold the house without even notifying us. I just found out that he sold it to that boss from yesterday for 50 million yuan."
"Bang--"
Leopard slammed his hand on the table and cursed, "Damn it, Scorpion doesn't respect us. The village's houses are all our common property. He sold them without even telling us. Brothers, grab your weapons and come with me to find Scorpion and demand an explanation."
