Xu Jiaguo truly hadn't expected this.
Just as he was being beaten to a pulp and wailing.
The chairman of Tiansheng Group.
A prominent figure in Jinling.
The very person who had personally ordered his subordinates to beat him.
Actually came scurrying over.
Not only did he apologize to Xu Jiaguo and declare that the previous events would be forgotten, but he also promised to do his best to ensure Hengda's interests in future transactions with Tiansheng Group.
Xu Jiaguo's first reaction was.
Was Zhao Dahai brain-dead?
He had slept with Zhao's daughter-in-law.
And instead of being angry or demanding compensation, Zhao was offering him benefits?
Were there such idiots in the world?
But after the shock came elation.
Xu Jiaguo knew very well what this news would mean for him if it reached Hengda!
It meant his position would be unshakeable!
No, Xu Jiaguo suddenly had a jolt.
More importantly, he knew that mysterious master!
He recalled the prophecy of that mysterious person...
Everything the person had said had come true!
Trembling, Xu Jiaguo dialed the number the mysterious person had left.
"Keke, you draw for a bit, Dad's going to take a call."
Hearing his phone ring, Ye Yun smiled and greeted, then walked aside with his phone.
"Mr. Xu, how is it?"
Pressing the call button, Ye Yun said with a faint smile.
"Sir, no, Immortal, Master! I, Xu Jiaguo, am convinced, truly convinced! Give me an account number, and I'll have people transfer the money first thing tomorrow morning!"
Xu Jiaguo, his heart a jumble of surprise, elation, and shock, couldn't help but tremble.
Although he knew it wasn't appropriate to call that mysterious person so late at night.
But everything that had just happened was too unexpected.
It could be said that it was this mysterious person who taught him how to turn the tide!
"Oh? You spoke with the Zhao family? Just as I said?" Ye Yun asked, feigning ignorance.
"Exactly! Master! Indeed, just as you said, the electrical wires in the ceiling of the kitchen at Tiansheng Restaurant were bitten by rats, and coincidentally, their fire sprinkler system malfunctioned, causing a fire in the kitchen! If it weren't for my... no, your reminder, Tiansheng Restaurant wouldn't have arranged for personnel to be on standby in the kitchen 24 hours a day..."
At this point, Xu Jiaguo still felt a lingering fear and could barely continue.
Who knew how many important figures were dining at Tiansheng Restaurant that night!
If there had been an explosion, it would have caused a huge uproar!
Before Ye Yun could speak, Xu Jiaguo swallowed hard, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Master, I did everything as you instructed. The Zhao family is now deeply grateful to me because I saved Tiansheng Group! All of this is thanks to you, Master!"
His emotions surging, Xu Jiaguo could almost envision a bright future.
However, many questions still lingered in his mind.
He was curious why Ye Yun knew so clearly that the electrical wires in the ceiling of Tiansheng Restaurant's kitchen had been bitten by rats.
He wondered why Ye Yun knew that Tiansheng Restaurant's fire sprinkler system would malfunction at that specific time.
He was even curious why Ye Yun would sell such information to him for a mere five million yuan!
If Ye Yun had simply found an opportunity to tell Zhao Dahai, Tiansheng Group would have owed Ye Yun a great favor.
And that favor would not have been comparable to five million yuan.
So, why did Ye Yun help him?
However, Xu Jiaguo ultimately did not voice these questions.
After all, he had already received countless benefits from this mysterious person.
More importantly, if he hadn't acted according to the mysterious person's instructions at the time, his fate would have been truly dire.
Did he possess anything that the mysterious person wanted?
Could it be his life?
Ridiculous!
How could that be possible!
"Mr. Xu is too kind. Gratitude is unnecessary. I take payment for solving troubles. Mr. Xu, you should also understand that people like us value destiny, and you and I have a connection, which is why I offered some help."
"Moreover, the most important thing is that you, Mr. Xu, trusted me and dared to go to Tiansheng Restaurant and speak with the Zhao family about this matter. In the end, this opportunity was earned by you, Mr. Xu, and I merely opened my mouth."
"Master, without further ado, I, Xu Jiaguo, will remember this favor! Although our Hengda's influence is mainly outside of Jinling, as long as you instruct me, Master, if you ask, I, Xu Jiaguo, would go through fire and water to do it for you!" Xu Jiaguo solemnly promised.
"Mr. Xu, there's no need for such a pledge. As I said, you and I have a connection. However, recently, I've had a premonition that there's something not quite right with Hengda's projects..." Ye Yun began to speak cryptically again.
"Ah? Master, what should I do then?" Having witnessed the terrifying power of this master several times, Xu Jiaguo now obeyed Ye Yun, this fake charlatan, without question.
Everyone else was helpless, believing they were doomed.
But with a few words, the master had not only resurrected him but also gained the favor of Tiansheng Group.
Who could he refuse to believe if not such a master?
"You'd better... try to..."
Ye Yun gave Xu Jiaguo some more constructive suggestions.
These were, in his memory, the problems that netizens later discovered with Hengda after its collapse.
They were not large problems, nor were they small.
Of course, these were just targeted suggestions proposed by Ye Yun to increase his trust with Xu Jiaguo...
After a brief conversation with Xu, Ye Yun hung up the phone.
Xu Jiaguo fell into contemplation, looking at the suggestions Ye Yun had written down.
A moment later, Xu Jiaguo slapped his thigh forcefully.
"This mysterious master is my lucky star! With the master's help, wouldn't I have dominated all of Jinling long ago, instead of having to wrangle with those good-for-nothings from Tiansheng Group? But now that the master is willing to help me, it's not too late!"
Beside him, Xu Jiaguo's mistress, dressed in revealing attire, grabbed his hand.
"Mr. Xu, you have to be careful too. That person is so mysterious, perhaps not a good person. Maybe he's the one who tampered with the electrical wires at Tiansheng Restaurant..."
However, before the mistress could finish speaking.
Slap!
Xu Jiaguo had already delivered a sharp slap.
He looked coldly at the mistress and said.
"Bitch, how dare you speak to that master like that! It's been confirmed that the electrical wires in the kitchen ceiling were indeed chewed by rats! Do you think we're so foolish as to not distinguish between human intervention and coincidence?"
"You spoke ill of the master this time, get out! Remember, if I find out that any information about the master is leaked, even a little, I'll take your life!"
Xu Jiaguo still trusted the master greatly at this moment.
He might be a second-generation rich kid, but he was also a competent one, spending most of his time at the company.
Therefore, he also knew that many of the targeted suggestions proposed by the master were currently topics of discussion within Hengda!
Furthermore, just seeing those solutions gave him a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Was this a person that a trashy mistress like her could slander?
The mistress could never have imagined that she would be treated this way by Xu Jiaguo for saying just a sentence.
And Xu Jiaguo would never have imagined that the master he trusted was leading him step by step into the abyss!
