Chapter 158: All Family
Liu Dazhi initially thought that Xu Youyou was just a young girl who could be easily scared off with a simple threat.
In the past, there had been others interested in Qian Run’s house, but as soon as they found out about the disputes, they quickly backed off.
A few days ago, Liu Dazhi thought Xu Youyou would be the same—after all, this girl, though followed by a few bodyguards, looked delicate and soft, appearing to be innocent.
Who would have thought that this little girl wasn’t afraid of trouble and was even a tough opponent?
The house changed ownership so quickly, catching Liu Dazhi off guard. After all, this was an asset worth over 100 million, and normally, even the wealthiest people would take their time with such a significant purchase. No one expected Xu Youyou to buy a house as casually as buying groceries.
At this moment, Liu Dazhi looked at Xu Youyou, who had dozens of burly men in bodyguard uniforms suddenly emerge from behind her. He realized that these people were fully prepared.
“Little girl, do your family members know you’re opposing the Red Dragon King?” Liu Dazhi asked in a sinister tone.
Xu Youyou smiled when she heard this, and her response was unexpected: “I don’t have any family.”
Liu Dazhi: …
After all his years in the underworld, he had used the “family threat” countless times, but this was the first time he encountered such a blunt answer. His cold expression nearly cracked.
Xu Youyou was young and seemed wealthy, and in Liu Dazhi’s eyes, she looked like a rich young lady. Even though she said this, after thinking for a moment, he still said, “Little girl, you need to remember the saying ‘avoid the ominous.’ For a house, you’ve abandoned your family. What if something really happens to them? How will you cry then?”
Xu Youyou understood he was threatening her, but it didn’t matter. Her biological family were scum; if they really disappeared, she’d be the first to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
“Is it really that powerful? Then I’ll take your words as good luck,” Xu Youyou replied, still smiling brightly.
Liu Dazhi furrowed his brow, and for a moment, he couldn’t figure out Xu Youyou’s real intentions. He spoke more cautiously, “There are so many good houses in Hucheng, why do you have to fight with the Red Dragon King for this one?”
He stepped back, but Xu Youyou took the opportunity to push forward, saying, “Right, there are so many good houses in Hucheng. Why does the Red Dragon King have to fight with me for this one? I’ll pay the debt I owe you, I won’t owe you a single penny. Let’s not cause any more trouble.”
Liu Dazhi was surprised by Xu Youyou’s counterattack, and it made him wonder. Indeed, there were many great houses in Hucheng, and even among the old mansions, there were better ones than this one. But from the start, the Red Dragon King had specifically wanted this house.
The Red Dragon King even went so far as to set a trap to frame Qian Run, or else this house wouldn’t have ended up on the market.
Did this little girl know something? Was that why she insisted on competing with the Red Dragon King for the house?
Xu Youyou had lost patience and didn’t want to continue the conversation with this person. She nodded to her bodyguards: “I’ll be leaving now. No one is allowed to enter this house today.”
Liu Dazhi wanted to stop her, but he only had about ten people. The thirty bodyguards surged forward. Though no fight broke out, having two against one was enough to push aside anyone blocking their way.
The truck Xu Youyou had called arrived, and the small safes filled with gold were driven away along the designated route.
When the truck entered the Tangchen Yipin (Tomson Riviera), all the small safes were delivered to Xu Youyou’s house, and only then did she finally relax.
She was now free from worry, but someone else was not happy.
“Little girl? You were actually scared off by a little girl?” The Red Dragon King’s voice remained calm and steady.
But Liu Dazhi, who had followed the Red Dragon King for many years, knew better than anyone else the nature of this leader. He immediately said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already sent people to investigate this little girl’s background…”
The Red Dragon King’s voice was as soft as a song, “I told you to keep an eye on this house. How did Qian Run manage to complete the transfer under your nose?”
Liu Dazhi felt a pang of fear as soon as he heard this, his heart racing with anxiety. He knelt down and said, “Uncle, our people have been keeping watch on the house and Qian Run, but he just disappeared like he evaporated from the world…”
A cold smile appeared at the corners of the Red Dragon King’s mouth, and he said, “Qian Run’s family and friends have all received their payments, yet you know nothing about it.”
Liu Dazhi broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn’t been watching the house every day because he had already persuaded countless buyers to back off. In his eyes, this house was already a done deal.
But he hadn’t anticipated that when he let his guard down, his subordinates had also relaxed, and a big mistake like this would happen.
“Uncle, please give me a chance to redeem myself. I’ll definitely get the house back,” Liu Dazhi begged, kneeling on the floor. From this position, he could see the painting hanging behind the Red Dragon King.
Three black, grim skulls connected together.
Each time he looked at it, Liu Dazhi felt a bone-chilling cold.
“Get up. We’re family. No need to kneel so much,” the Red Dragon King said in a soft, almost comforting tone.
Liu Dazhi was so terrified that his body was trembling, and he couldn’t get up for a long time. His lips trembled, “Uncle, please… please don’t target my family…”
“Get up.” The Red Dragon King shot him a sideways glance.
Liu Dazhi stumbled and got up.
The Red Dragon King glanced at him and said, “Three days.”
Liu Dazhi was full of fear but still gathered the courage to ask the Red Dragon King, “Uncle, what if the little girl is unwilling to return the house, only willing to pay the money back…”
The Red Dragon King played with a ring in his hand, his tone still gentle, as though discussing an insignificant matter: “It seems like your feelings for your family are very weak.”
Liu Dazhi’s face went pale, and he said, “Don’t worry, Uncle. I’ll definitely get the house back.”
With that, he bent his body and tremblingly retreated.
The room fell silent. The Red Dragon King turned to look at the painting on the wall.
Five minutes later, he expressionlessly picked up a small powder-blue bowl beside him, holding it high and preparing to throw it. If Xu Youyou had been there, she would have recognized the characters at the bottom of the bowl—“Qianlong Period.”
Someone hurriedly walked in.
Without stopping his movements, the Red Dragon King slammed the powder-blue enamel bowl to the ground, and it shattered into pieces.
The newcomer, though used to this kind of behavior, still couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache, knowing the bowl had been bought for tens of millions.
The Red Dragon King closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked satisfied. After another five minutes, he opened his eyes and looked at the person who had entered.
“Big Brother, the Gu family says they want to buy back the fake vase.”
The Red Dragon King said, “Tell the Gu family, I don’t want money, I want the real thing.”
The man didn’t waste any time talking further and immediately left.
