Chapter 103 - 102: Slash a Hundred Million

Chapter 103: Chapter 102: Slash a Hundred Million

[A Real Man Never Looks Back at Explosions]: "Stop testing me. I don’t have any so-called birthmark. You, on the other hand, have you forgotten the time you knelt on a durian in the middle of the night, crying your eyes out? I remember it was because you hid two hundred CNY of your own private savings.

You knelt for half the night, and I cried beside you for ages because of it. If Mom hadn’t felt bad for me, do you think you would’ve been allowed to stand up before dawn?"

Liu Rui: "?!"

’Damn it, it really is my daughter.’

That embarrassing story about kneeling on a durian for half the night was something only the three of them knew.

And since Nannan’s mother had passed away early, they were the only two people in the world who still remembered it.

Besides, he knew his own daughter very well; she wasn’t the type to gossip.

He looked at Liu Nan lying on the bed like a sleeping beauty, then at the chat group on his phone, and his world was thrown into chaos.

’What... is all this?’

’My daughter... crawled into a computer?’

’I...’

’Life is full of ups and downs. It’s just too damn exciting!’

After calming himself for a moment, Liu Rui finally recovered.

’As long as she’s alive, that’s all that matters. As long as she’s alive.’

Never mind that his daughter crawled into a computer; so what if she’d crawled into a phone?

As long as she was alive, there was hope!

[Mr. Liu]: "So, ’Call me Master’... is X?"

[Call me Master]: "That would be me. Although this is a tiny bit different from the ideal scene Mr. Liu envisioned, the result is still gratifying."

’A tiny bit, my ass!’

’Is this off by a tiny bit?’

’This is a million miles off, okay?’

[Mr. Liu]: "Honey, how about we change your name?"

"A Real Man Never Looks Back at Explosions" was just too worrying no matter how he looked at it.

[Lovely Nannan]: "How about this one?"

At the same time, He Xiaotian and Liu Rui both felt their lips twitch as they stared at their phone screens.

"This is completely different from what I imagined!" x2

He had only interacted with Liu Nan twice, but in his mind, she was a rather cold and distant person.

She didn’t talk much, and on top of that, there was Huang Mao’s terrified expression.

From this, he could tell that Liu Nan was not an easy person to deal with.

Now, seeing her pick such a cute name, it just felt dissonant no matter how he looked at it.

Liu Rui thought the same thing. Did he not know what kind of person his own daughter was?

In the circles of Shanghai’s rich second generation, her reputation was practically notorious.

She was the type to kick a guy in the balls at a party, right in front of his elders!

Even though he, Liu Rui, was one of the top five wealthiest men, no one was actually willing to let their son date his daughter.

Who would want to marry a Demon and bring chaos into their home?

Once money reaches a certain amount, it’s just a string of numbers.

A harmonious family, doting on grandchildren, a life full of joy—that is the ultimate goal of human happiness.

At that moment, Liu Rui once again fell into deep suspicion.

’Could it be that X is working with others to trick me?’

’But that’s not right either. The durian story was correct.’

’Could it be because her soul is incomplete? As the saying goes, a person has three spiritual souls and seven physical souls. She only has two souls right now, so her personality is different from before?’ Aside from this theory, He Xiaotian couldn’t think of any other reasonable explanation.

BEEP BEEP!!

His phone chimed with a notification. He saw that it was a private message from Liu Rui.

[Mr. Liu]: "X, what in the world is going on? Knowing Nannan’s personality, she would never pick a name like this."

He Xiaotian then shared his theory.

[Lovely Nannan]: "If you two have questions, can’t you just ask them openly? Do you have to engage in shady deals behind my back?"

The two of them: "..."

They had almost forgotten that she was now in a state similar to an intelligent life form.

Looking up someone’s background was child’s play for her.

Hacking into the city Cleaners’ database would be even easier.

The two of them private messaging was as ridiculous as a naked person trying to hide by covering their face.

When Liu Rui saw this, he knew. ’Yep, that’s my daughter, no doubt about it.’

She’d even dropped the term "shady deal"—who else but his daughter would use such brazen slang?

[Mr. Liu]: "X, thank you. No matter what, my daughter is back. Name your price. I, Liu, will not be stingy. I will do my best to meet your demands."

’Boss Liu is so generous!!’

’I, He Xiaotian, just love dealing with rich people like you.’

’In that case, I won’t be polite!’

[Call me Master]: "World peace!"

Liu Rui: "..."

Suddenly seeing this grand wish, he nearly threw his phone on the ground.

’Do you believe I could hire someone to kill you?’

The two words on the screen—"World peace"—kept making Mr. Liu’s blood pressure spike.

’What kind of bullshit request is this?’

[Call me Master]: "Sorry, I got excited and mistyped. Excuse me, about how much is a villa in the Palace Garden estate?"

[Mr. Liu]: "Over five hundred million. You want to buy one? Don’t think it’s too expensive. Villas in the suburbs are cheaper, but those are all massive developments, a hundred houses minimum, with twenty people patrolling in shifts.

Palace Garden only has thirty-five houses, but it also has two teams of ten patrolling in the morning and evening. You can imagine the difference in quality. Besides, Wang in the villa next door, A02, is planning to move his family to the Capital City.

They’re in a hurry to liquidate, so I can negotiate the price for you. You can probably get it for around three hundred million."

He Xiaotian slapped his thigh. As expected of one of Shanghai’s top tycoons.

He had just saved him two hundred million CNY with a single sentence!

In truth, Liu Rui had his own selfish motives. After experiencing the attack from the evil spirit, he realized his bodyguards weren’t strong enough.

But He Xiaotian was the real deal!

Not only had he personally witnessed the man kill an evil spirit...

...he had also destroyed an organization’s entire plan.

Hadn’t he said it himself?

Six people from two special task forces, one dead and three seriously injured.

Even the strongest ones, Lei Yang and Captain Su, hadn’t gotten off much better.

Hearing the hints in He Xiaotian’s words, it was clear he wanted to buy a villa.

’If a man like that lived next door, how peacefully I could sleep at night!’

In an instant, a dozen thoughts flashed through Liu Rui’s mind.

No matter what, even if he had to pay for it himself, he had to get He Xiaotian to move in.

He had plenty of money.

’What’s the damn point of leaving it in a bank?’

It would be far better to use it to add another lock to his own safety.

After all, you only get one life.

Once you’re dead, no amount of money can bring you back.

Besides, when an evil spirit comes to kill you, it doesn’t care how rich you are.

[Call me Master]: "Mr. Liu, if you try a little harder, do you think you could haggle it down to one hundred million?"

"PFFT!"

It was the first time Liu Rui had ever met someone so shameless.

’Just be direct and tell me to cover the rest for you, why don’t you?’

’No need to beat around the bush!’

[Mr. Liu]: "Fine. When are you coming? How about today."

[Call me Master]: "No, I’ll wait a few days. Don’t you think it would be too sudden? Right now, the relevant authorities have their eyes on me. They want to dig me up and recruit me. Personally, I don’t like that kind of environment.

Lying low and building up my strength is the way to go. Besides, I offended a behemoth this time. If someone discovers the connection between us, my family might get dragged into it. So please, Mr. Liu, keep all of this confidential."

[Mr. Liu]: "I understand."

Age brings cunning. Having weathered the ups and downs of the business world’s battlefield, Liu Rui naturally understood He Xiaotian’s meaning.

So, he sent a private message to his daughter.
