Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 264: Return to Zhao Family Village

"Talking now is useless. If you can bring back the Dongling Mountain project, I’ll spare your life. But can you? You can’t. So why bother thinking so much? However, considering the effort you’ve put into your work over the past two years, I won’t involve your wife and children. As for the rest, you’re on your own!" Young Master Wang said and then hung up the call without giving Bi Huihuang any chance to explain. If it weren’t for this incident, Bi Huihuang would have been considered a capable person. Regrettably, he ruined a business deal worth billions and certainly couldn’t be left alive. Otherwise, his brothers would accuse him of being soft-hearted.

"Young Master Wang! Young Master Wang..." Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Bi Huihuang slumped into his office chair, the words of Young Master Wang echoing in his ears. "Fend for yourself!" Wasn’t that a clear signal for him to prepare for his death? He was merely being given some time to put his affairs in order.

It was Young Master Wang who had saved him. Without Young Master Wang, there would be no him today, nor the Wanlilai Group. Everything he had was given by Young Master Wang. Now that he had botched a deal worth billions for Young Master Wang, it was only natural that he should want his life in return—it was just and right. Moreover, Young Master Wang had already agreed not to involve his wife and children, which was merciful enough. He would do the same if he were in Young Master Wang’s shoes.

But now, he couldn’t resign himself to this fate. He had to get to the bottom of things. If he couldn’t find out who revealed the Dongling Mountain deal to the Shen Corporation, he wouldn’t rest in peace even in death. If he found that person, he’d flay their skin. After all, he was a dead man; what difference would one more life make? It was all because of that person—if not for them, Young Master Wang would never have driven him to this corner. If he couldn’t kill that person, he wouldn’t be Bi Huihuang.

With this in mind, Bi Huihuang called several of his loyal subordinates and gave them all the same task—by any means necessary, find out who helped Lin Family Village and who was the informant to the Shen Corporation. Only by skinning that person could he die in peace; otherwise, he would never let them be, even as a ghost.

After making these arrangements, Bi Huihuang took a seat in his office chair and lit a cigar, looking out the window at everything outside, beginning to plan his next moves and ponder the true meaning behind Young Master Wang’s words about fending for himself...

It was then that the telephone on the desk rang. Seeing the incoming call ID, Bi Huihuang immediately answered—it was a call from his loyal subordinate Old Wang.

"Hello, Chairman, I’ve found the news you wanted!" Old Wang got through to Bi Huihuang, eager to share the good news.

"Old Wang, what’s the situation?" Bi Huihuang exhaled a puff of smoke, urgently asking Old Wang for the news that would indicate who had foiled his plans and pushed him toward the dead end.

"Chairman, it’s like this: My distant niece married into Lin Family Village a few years ago. I just called her and found out they’re all celebrating. They’re praising Lin Yiwen’s son, Lin Feng, for being so capable of saving the entire village on his own and finding such a good way out for Lin Family Village. I suspect Lin Feng is the person you’re referring to, so I immediately informed you." Without any nonsense, Old Wang relayed all the information he had gleaned, hoping to help the Chairman.

"Fine, Old Wang, go to finance and take 10,000 yuan; tell them it’s from me." Once Bi Huihuang finished speaking, he hung up the phone, thinking about how to handle Lin Feng once he got to Lin Family Village. Old Wang’s information was clear—it was this Lin Feng who had ruined his plans. Because of him, the Dongling Mountain project was gone, Young Master Wang was going to strike at him, and his fate was now in this man’s hands. Regardless, he had to take Lin Feng down first, then flee—otherwise, he would never rest easy in death.

Who could this Lin Feng be? He closed his eyes and thought back to the scene that morning in Lin Family Village when an image of a young man suddenly came to mind. Yes, that was him. Old Wang’s Lin Feng must have been the young man who had spoken with him, the one whom the four bodyguards had surrounded after alighting from the helicopter. Only someone with such status could confront a colossal corporation like the Shen Corporation!

All of a sudden, everything clicked for Bi Huihuang. It was all Lin Feng’s doing, informing Shen Corporation to acquire Zhenqiang Company, then reorganizing it to reclaim the Dongling Mountain project, ensuring that Wanlilai Company could no longer displace Lin Family Village, thereby completely ousting Wanlilai Company from the game. This move was just too damn harsh; it backed him into an inescapable corner.

That bastard had really crossed the line; today, he would make him learn what death was, skin him alive, and break his bones to vent his anger. Glancing at the time, Wang Hu should have arrived by now, so he dialed Wang Hu’s number.

"Mr. Wang, where are you now?" he asked eagerly after the call connected. Yesterday, Li Dahe and his men were injured, indicating that there were masters on the other side. If he went there with just his men, it wouldn’t end well. He had to bring a master like Wang Hu to settle everything.

"I’m about twenty minutes away from Qingping County, will contact after I arrive." Wang Hu replied before hanging up and closing his eyes again.

Upon hearing that Wang Hu would reach Qingping County in twenty minutes, Bi Huihuang quickly called his troops to be ready. Once Wang Hu arrived, they would head straight to Lin Family Village to take Lin Feng down...

...

On the other side, after Bi Huihuang and his men had left in disgrace, Lin Feng, Song Nancheng, the village chief, and others returned to the village chief’s home to discuss the entire Dongling Mountain development plan. The Shen Corporation had been very open in its policy towards Lin Family Village, and it didn’t take long for Song Nancheng to finalize the related collaborative matters. They were just waiting for the Shen Corporation’s team to arrive to formally sign the agreement with Lin Family Village, which would officially kickstart the Dongling Mountain tourism development plan.

With the official business concluded, Lin Guangyi wanted to invite Song Nancheng and a few others to attend the village feast at Lin Family Village. It was Song Nancheng who brought the good news. If it weren’t for his arrival, Bi Huihuang wouldn’t have left so easily. Furthermore, since Song had originally come as a guest, he certainly should attend the village feast of Lin Family Village.

"Lawyer Song, you must join our celebratory village feast later and celebrate this joyful moment with us," Lin Guangyi warmly invited Song Nancheng to the village feast, wishing for him to share in the happiness with everyone.

"Village chief, I’m quite busy and will have to leave soon," Song Nancheng said upon receiving the invitation. In fact, he really wanted to stay for the village feast, as the people here were so down-to-earth and the environment was very pleasant. However, he really was busy; as the chief lawyer of the Shen Corporation, he was always flying all over the place.

"Lawyer Song, our village feast is quite a rare occasion and is also a very unique local custom," Lin Guangyi insisted on not letting Song Nancheng leave. After coming from far away to resolve the crisis in Lin Family Village, he deserved at least a couple of drinks as a gesture of gratitude.

"That’s right, Lawyer Song, once you see the village feast, you won’t regret staying," someone chimed in.

"Lawyer Song, it’s not too late to leave after having a meal."

"The local specialties here are not something you can enjoy every day."

"What’s more important is everyone’s good intentions."

...

When the people in the courtyard heard that Song Nancheng was about to leave, they of course couldn’t let him go. Moreover, the village chief had already spoken, asking him to stay for the village feast, so staying was a must. Especially since the village feast was celebrating Lin Family Village’s escape from crisis, and without Lawyer Song’s assistance, Bi Huihuang would not have left so dejectedly; thus, Song Nancheng had even more reason to stay. There was no question about keeping him.

"This..." Seeing everyone’s enthusiastic invitation, Song Nancheng really wanted to stay, but he had so many work commitments waiting for him, making it truly difficult to do so.

"If there’s nothing too important, you should stay. I’ll just talk to Shen Yao about it," Lin Feng said as he saw the villagers’ warm invitation. He felt very good and, seeing Song Nancheng’s hesitation, he took the initiative to invite him to stay. In the current situation, it was better for Song Nancheng to celebrate with everyone as a representative of the Shen Corporation.

"Alright then," Song Nancheng said, no longer having a reason to insist on leaving, he agreed to stay for the village feast.

"Everyone, let’s go to the threshing ground in the village, that’s where the village feast will be held," Lin Guangyi said, elated upon hearing Song Nancheng agree to stay. He then invited everyone to the threshing ground because that’s where the village feast could be hosted.

It was only after everyone followed the village chief to the threshing ground of Lin Family Village that Song Nancheng realized what the village feast was all about.

The entire spacious threshing ground was lined with five rows of long tables, heaped with all kinds of steaming-hot dishes. Even from outside the ground, one could smell the fragrance of wine in the air. Along the edges of the ground, many children were setting off firecrackers, creating an exceptionally joyful atmosphere. Song Nancheng, who had never attended such a banquet before, was delighted. He hadn’t expected to encounter such a traditional village feast at Lin Family Village and was thankful he hadn’t insisted on leaving.

Under the guidance of the village chief, Lin Yiwen’s family, Lin Dongchen’s family, and Song Nancheng, found their seats at the only round table on the entire threshing ground.

Once everyone was seated, Lin Guangyi raised his glass and addressed the crowd.

"Fellow villagers of Lin Family Village, thanks to our combined efforts, we defeated Wanlilai Company’s demolition plans, successfully preserving Lin Family Village from being demolished. Here, let’s raise our glasses and celebrate this joyous moment! Cheers!" Lin Guangyi, overjoyed, immediately drank his wine and then raised his empty glass towards all the villagers.
