Chapter 158 A Blessing in Disguise
"Dr. Zhao, what do you mean by this?" Wang Huayang's face immediately fell.
"impossible!"
"It is absolutely impossible for anyone in this world to cure a patient with severe brain damage within half an hour."
"It must have been a setup by all of you to scam me out of my money!"
Zhao Xide had completely lost his mind and was speaking incoherently.
Lu Chenyang laughed dismissively.
Wang Xiaomei's symptoms do indeed resemble those of a patient who has suffered a severe brain injury or mental trauma.
But in reality, he was only under the influence of a drug called "Thousand-Day Intoxication".
However, this kind of incense is so obscure that it is not surprising that Zhao Xide made a wrong diagnosis.
Lu Chenyang happened to recognize this rare sleeping fragrance and directly expelled it from the root.
It's perfectly reasonable to wake Wang Xiaomei up within half an hour.
"You despicable Chinese people, how dare you deceive me with such means!"
"If I had known, I should have stayed in America and never returned to your filthy country."
"They say that bad people come from poor and remote places, but in your country, there are swindlers everywhere."
"And in your small town, officials and bandits are in cahoots, conspiring to swindle my money..."
At this moment, Zhao Xide had almost completely lost his mind, shouting and yelling like a madman.
"You bastard!" Zhuo Haishan, who had been silent all along, could no longer hold back.
He slapped Zhao Xide across the face.
“Dr. Zhao, you’ve been pressuring Mr. Lu step by step about this bet. We didn’t force you.”
Even if you have a problem with us, let's say you do.
“We can understand your criticism.”
"But you cannot insult China!"
"Don't think that just because you've studied abroad for a few days, you can forget your ancestors!"
"You absolutely must not insult your former motherland!"
Zhuo Haishan's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly together, as if he would kill Zhao Xide on the spot at the slightest provocation.
Yang Saisai was startled, never expecting that things had gotten out of her control.
He rushed forward and shouted, "Zhao Xide, don't think that just because you studied abroad for a few years, you've forgotten that you were once a Chinese!"
"And don't forget, the place you are standing on right now is Chinese soil!"
Wang Huayang also said coldly, "Mr. Zhao, this is the first time you've said something like this, and I hope it's the last."
“If I hear you say anything like that again, I guarantee you will never leave Zhonghai City.”
Zhao Xide suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He studied and worked abroad for several years before changing his nationality.
He later returned to China after receiving a high-paying offer from Harmony Hospital.
The smooth journey made him somewhat complacent and carried away with his pride.
That's why he said what he just said.
It wasn't until he heard the warnings from Zhuo Haishan and others that he realized he was in China.
If he really angered the mayor and the president of the martial arts guild, he would very likely meet his end here.
"Stop talking nonsense and transfer the 5,000 million immediately." Lu Chenyang took out a bank card and showed the card number to Zhao Xide.
Zhao Xide's face looked as if his parents had died.
He gritted his teeth, then took out his phone and transferred the money to Lu Chenyang.
"Mayor Wang, I'm really sorry about what happened today."
"This Zhao Xide not only failed to cure Miss Wang's illness."
"And to say something like that..."
"However, it is worth celebrating that Miss Wang has finally recovered. Congratulations on her recovery."
Yang Saisai sighed softly and apologized to Wang Huayang.
"Miss Yang, what are you saying?"
"I will not blame you for the mistakes that others have made."
"Moreover, I am already very grateful that you care so much about my daughter's condition."
Wang Huayang also expressed his gratitude to Yang Saisai and then personally saw him out.
At that moment, Lu Chenyang's phone rang, showing that 5,000 million had been deposited into his account.
He put away his bank card and mobile phone with satisfaction.
Although he wasn't short of tens of millions, no one complains about getting money for free.
After seeing Zhao Xide and Yang Saisai off, Wang Huayang invited Lu Chenyang, Zhuo Haishan, and others to have tea together.
During their casual conversation, Zhuo Haishan brought up the story of Hou Xiaojian's family.
"Hou Haikun and his family ran away with the money..." Zhuo Haishan sighed slightly, "In a way, this is also my dereliction of duty."
"Ever since I recovered from my illness, I have been investigating the Hou family's accounts."
"However, their accounts are so well done that it's hard to find any evidence against them in the short term."
"We only relaxed our guard a little, and they managed to run away with their whole family."
"Mr. Lu, I heard that the Su family has invested a lot of money in Hou Xiaojian's business?"
Lu Chenyang was speechless; he hadn't expected that this family would still manage to escape.
So, he shook his head helplessly and said, "It is indeed tens of millions."
“I warned them long ago, but they just wouldn’t listen.”
"Forget it, let's just treat it as a lesson for them."
"President Zhuo, Mr. Lu, please don't be in such a hurry," Wang Huayang said with a smile. "As the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining."
"The Su family may not necessarily be finished this time; they may very well benefit from this misfortune."
"I have good news for you."
Lu Chenyang frowned slightly. The Hou Xiaojian family had already run away, so how could they possibly turn misfortune into blessing?
"At that time, Hou Haikun's family kept spreading the word that the Martial Arts Association was going to build the largest martial arts school in the four provinces of Jianghuai in the southern district."
"The Hou family did indeed hoard a large piece of land in the southern district, but it used to be a mass burial ground."
"Therefore, the place is deserted and commercially desolate, a complete wasteland."
"And that project involving the largest martial arts school is completely fictitious."
"Now the entire Hou family has fled, leaving behind only this piece of land that no one in the world can find."
Wang Huayang took out a map of Zhonghai City and circled a place in the South District with a pencil.
Lu Chenyang nodded slightly.
He had heard Zhuo Haishan mention this matter before.
The Hou family's land purchase was just a pretext to make everyone believe that they were actually developing a project.
But that piece of land was a very remote, barren place, and the Hou family only spent a very small amount of money.
Now that the Hou family has absconded, their fixed assets have been divided up by the shareholders and creditors.
However, the shareholders didn't even bother to look at this barren land.
In fact, many people have already forgotten that there is still a piece of land there.
At the time, Hou Xiaojian's family used the gimmick of key development projects to attract a large wave of investment.
As far as Lu Chenyang knew, the Su family alone had invested tens of millions, and the other families combined were estimated to have invested over a billion.
Now that they've run away with the money, those who dreamed of getting rich back then are probably contemplating suicide.
"This piece of rotten land can actually benefit the Su family from misfortune?" Lu Chenyang asked with some doubt. "Mayor Wang, you're not going to tell me that this place is suddenly going to be a priority for development, are you?"
"Mr. Lu is indeed a genius; you guessed it perfectly." Wang Huayang lightly slapped the table and said with a smile, "The Hou Haikun family is really unlucky."
"The family had just fled, and then the provincial authorities sent word that they were really going to build a large martial arts school here."
"We also need to build residential buildings, shopping malls, schools, hospitals and other supporting facilities around the martial arts school."
"Furthermore, the province has made it clear that an economic demonstration zone will be built on this land."
Wang Huayang used a pencil to draw two more circles on the patch of land in the mass grave.
