Chapter 36
But Yu Jun thought, even if Luo Hengzhi knew, what could he do?
Luo Hengzhi is nothing but a powerless nobody. For him to talk about touching the Yu family's gold mine is nothing but wild talk, wishful thinking, and a mayfly trying to shake a tree!
"The Yu family owns a gold mine?" When Old Master Jiang heard this news, he paused. Everyone knows that gold mines belong to the state and cannot be monopolized by private individuals. He never expected to hear such a strange story in his life: a family monopolizing a gold mine.
"Luo Hengzhi, you're quite the actor, spouting nonsense with great flair." Yu Yun sneered, "You say you'll take action against my Yu family? I'd like to see how a piece of trash like you can possibly mess with my Yu family in Yanshui City."
Looking at Yu Jun's distorted expression and despicable eyes, Luo Hengzhi felt extremely awkward. It was completely out of place with the body's calm and refined demeanor. It was as if a vile soul had crawled into someone else's body. It was a complete disconnect!
Luo Hengzhi shook his head and sighed again, what a pity for such a beautiful appearance!
“Anyone can talk big. Your bluffing only proves that you want to deceive the Jiang family into signing a contract with you so that you can profit from it.” Yu Yun looked at Old Master Jiang. “Old Master Jiang, you have seen it yourself. Luo Hengzhi is extremely greedy in order to get his hands on that money. Your Jiang family should not be misled by people.”
"Does your Yu family really own a gold mine?" Old Master Jiang didn't respond to the question, but instead asked Yu Yun.
"This..." Yu Yun never expected that the Jiang family would also have their eyes on his family's gold mine. Although others couldn't get into the gold mine, it was the foundation of the Yu family for generations. If too many people were eyeing it, it would eventually lead to trouble.
Just then, the cell phone rang.
Upon hearing the sound, Yu Yun froze. This bell was reserved for the Yu family head. Yu Yun had a bad feeling and subconsciously looked at Luo Hengzhi.
Luo Hengzhi smiled slightly, calmly raising her hand to signal Yu Jun to answer the phone.
Yu Jun answered the phone and heard an anxious voice on the other end: "Something's happened at the gold mine."
Upon hearing about the gold mine accident, Yu Yun's mind went blank for a moment. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Luo Hengzhi: "You...it's impossible!"
"You, Luo Hengzhi, are nothing but a discarded son of the Luo family, a powerless and worthless good-for-nothing. How could you possibly possibly harm you..."
Luo Hengzhi understood Yu Jun's reaction.
Luo Hengzhi's strategy was to strike at the heart of the matter before killing. She didn't even glance at Yu Yun, only casting a sidelong look at him with obvious disgust: "Yu Yun, nothing is immovable. Your proud Yu family, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a thousand-year-old parasite clinging to that gold mine. Tell me, if that gold mine could speak, wouldn't it also want to curse 'Disgusting!'"
"No!" Luo Hengzhi's insult to Yu Yun, calling him a "millennial parasite," hit Yu Yun's sore spot. Yu Yun lost control of his expression and roared, "I, Yu Yun... the Yu family is a thousand-year-old clan, a prestigious and righteous family!"
Seeing Yu Yun break through her defenses, Luo Hengzhi smiled calmly!
But hearing Yu Yun specifically emphasize that his family was a prestigious and upright clan felt quite abrupt!
"Luo Hengzhi, you wait. Once my Yu family's affairs are settled, I, Yu Yun, will not let you off easily!" After uttering these harsh words, Yu Yun disappeared from the spot.
By any measure, it looks like they're fleeing in disarray!
Grandpa Jiang had also received news of the Yu family's troubles. He stood up, looked at Luo Hengzhi, and extended his hand to him, smiling: "Luo Hengzhi, you really did have a backup plan. I knew that someone as shrewd as you couldn't possibly be bullied by the Luo family. You've been hiding your true strength. I never imagined that Hengduo Technology, which has risen rapidly in Longming City in recent years, was yours. Let me guess, you definitely have more than just Hengduo in your hands, right?"
Luo Hengzhi grasped Grandpa Jiang's hand, did not deny it, and smiled modestly: "Grandpa Jiang is well-informed."
"Your mouth is always three parts truth and seven parts lies. You're good at lying. If I were truly well-informed, I wouldn't have believed that you, Luo Hengzhi, would give up on yourself like this!"
Old Master Jiang's gaze was deep as he smiled and said, "The matter of the Yu family in Yanshui City illegally occupying the gold mine was directly posted on the Yu Group's own official website, and it was even pinned to the top. The next second, Hengduo Technology jumped out and admitted that it had hacked the Yu Group's official website, deliberately posted it, and released a series of evidence to prove that the matter was true, and promised to take responsibility for hacking other people's websites."
"This move immediately attracted a large number of netizens to watch and forward it. Now the matter of the Yu family's gold mine has become a hot topic on social media. Netizens are watching and discussing why the Yu family of Yanshui City was able to privately occupy the gold mine, and who gave the Yu family the audacity! The Yu family's stock has also plummeted as a result!"
Jiang Mo clapped his hands and cheered: "Luo Hengzhi, your move has directly exposed and sealed the Yu family's gold mine. Even if the Yu family has powerful connections, they won't dare to come out and protect him!"
Jiang Junrong and Liu Yue nodded, looking at Luo Hengzhi with admiration. They had often heard their fathers talk about Luo Hengzhi's decisive and incisive methods, and today they had witnessed it firsthand.
"Although I didn't understand everything, I know that my brother-in-law definitely won." Little Shenmu hugged Luo Hengzhi's leg and praised happily in his childish voice, "My brother-in-law is the best!"
Luo Hengzhi bent down and picked up Xiao Shenmu: "Brother-in-law did indeed hide something in the past, I hope you won't resent him."
Jiang Yuzhi: "There must be a reason for what my brother-in-law did. He has also been burdened with a blood feud over the years. How could we blame him?"
Luo Hengzhi lowered his eyes, concealing the tears in them, and gently rubbed his junior brother Jiang Yuzhi's head with his large hand.
In their short time together, Lingju Temple gave him so much, especially the purest emotions, which made him reluctant to let go!
"Then let's sign the contract now." Old Master Jiang brought his lawyer with him on this trip, and the contract had already been printed out and signed.
Luo Hengzhi took the contract, looked at it, confirmed that there were no problems, and signed his name on it.
"Mr. Jiang, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"
"Luo Hengzhi, let's cooperate more in the future!" Old Master Jiang grasped Luo Hengzhi's hand, his eyes filled with respect for his partner and appreciation for the younger generation.
Jiang Mo immediately stepped forward and grasped Luo Hengzhi's hand: "Big Brother Luo, I knew it had to be you. Only a genius like you, who is stronger than the heavens, can keep my fierce and powerful master in check!"
Liu Yue: "Mo'er, stop fooling around!"
"Luo Hengzhi, your forbearance over the years is truly admirable!" Huo Zhongkui walked over, with Huo Qinglei following behind.
Huo Zhongkui walked towards Grandpa Jiang and said excitedly, "I didn't expect to meet Grandpa Jiang here today, since we've all gathered here!"
"Huo Zhongkui, what's wrong with your complexion?" Old Master Jiang noticed that Huo Zhongkui looked unwell and visibly haggard.
Huo Zhongkui: "I was sick a while ago, but fortunately I'm basically recovered now."
Grandpa Jiang: "Was it half a year ago, when Master Yunqing intervened?"
Huo Zhongkui waved his hand: "Master Yunqing saved me again. In order to prevent any further accidents, Master Yunqing has allowed me to stay on this mountain to recuperate."
"You mean... this is... the residence of True Immortal Yunqing?" Old Master Jiang suddenly realized.
"You still don't know?" Huo Zhongkui asked.
"I really didn't know. I was unconscious a few days ago and was rescued by Mo'er's master, Fairy Ye Zi. I only knew that Fairy Ye Zi was in Lingju Temple. I didn't expect that True Person Yun Qing was also here." Looking at Lingju Temple again, Old Master Jiang felt that it was even more like a fairy's residence.
Huo Zhongkui: "You're unconscious too? Could it be...?"
Luo Hengzhi: "The two of you do indeed have similar situations, both of you were caused by death energy entering your bodies."
Therefore, Luo Hengzhi concluded that the two must have something in common to have suffered the same misfortune. Judging from the situation just now, the two were not only business partners.
Grandpa Jiang: "Did I have death energy enter my body?"
Huo Zhongkui: "So you too have been ingested by death energy!"
"Fairy Ye Zi didn't say why that day." Old Master Jiang looked at Old Madam Jiang, who shook her head, meaning that Fairy Ye Zi indeed didn't say.
"There is a Gathering Fiend Array in the Jiang family courtyard, which can gather the death energy within a hundred miles. Old Master Jiang fell into a coma because too much death energy had accumulated in his body," Luo Hengzhi said.
Jiang Mo suddenly realized: "So when you smashed a brick into the ground that day, you were actually breaking the formation. It was that formation that harmed my grandfather."
"There's an array in the courtyard. No wonder Immortal Ye Zi instructed you not to leave your room and go into the courtyard. It turns out there's... death energy in the house." Old Madam Jiang was still shaken. There was that unclean thing in the house, but they were completely unaware.
"We all suffered this calamity, and it was all caused by death energy. Could it be the work of the same person?" Huo Zhongkui asked.
"But who would have such an ability?" Old Master Jiang was completely clueless.
Luo Hengzhi: "Have you shared a similar experience?"
"How did you know?" Old Master Jiang and Huo Zhongkui met eyes, both thinking of the same thing at the same time. "If we have to talk about something in common, there is one thing we really have to mention."
Huo Zhongkui: "That was 20 years ago."
Grandpa Jiang: "Yes, Lian County, a small village deep in the mountains, but that village was once prosperous, with as many as 20,000 households as permanent residents, and every family was well-off." As Grandpa Jiang recounted this, the image of that hellish night flashed through his mind, and his eyes welled up with tears.
"But overnight, a forest fire burned down the entire village. Before the fire was extinguished, the dam broke, and everyone was swept away. With fire and flood, the entire village was filled with desperate cries and heart-wrenching sobs!"
Grandpa Jiang's voice choked up a little, and Huo Zhongkui continued, "We were really lucky to be alive. We left that night after the business deal was settled and went to town to wait for the bus to leave. Just as we arrived at the station, we saw flames all over the sky in the direction of the village. Without thinking much, people spontaneously gathered and went back to put out the fire. That's when I met Grandpa Jiang."
Luo Hengzhi then asked, "What happened to the village in the end?"
"Most of those rescued were children and young people. The elderly in the village gave up their own lives and desperately tried to send the children and young people out. We arrived in time. The number of children and young people we rescued was also quite coincidental, a total of 20,000."
"Twenty thousand people, that's a great merit!" Luo Hengzhi suddenly thought of something, opened his Heavenly Eye to look at Huo Zhongkui and Old Master Jiang, but there was no golden light or merit on them.
Why is this? What about the merit?
At the scene of the ritual in the mass grave, Luo Hengzhi saw golden merit on Ye Zi. Every ritual has merit, and saving 20,000 lives is definitely the greatest merit!
"Do you remember those who participated in the rescue with you?" Luo Hengzhi asked.
Huo Zhongkui: "Is our accident related to this matter?"
"Not necessarily. Let's wait for my master, Master Yunqing, to return and see what he thinks about this matter," Luo Hengzhi said.
Huo Zhongkui: "Okay, I remember who they are. Let me check their details."
Luo Hengzhi: "There's another question. Did Uncle Huo save more people than Elder Jiang during that rescue?"
Grandpa Jiang: "Yes! At that time, Huo Zhongkui was young and strong, and he was quite skilled. He saved the most people among us."
Luo Hengzhi nodded. That's right. It means that Huo Zhongkui has the most merits, which is why he has faced life and death several times and was injured the most severely!
Huo Zhongkui: "Luo Hengzhi, do you know something?"
