Fox Demon Crossing

Chapter 23: City Planning

After taking a few steps, Jin Zeming stopped and looked helplessly at the shadow of the building in front of him.

Behind the building, Yang Yifan appeared quietly.

"Why, do people from your Yang family like to play this kind of mysterious game?" Jin Zeming revealed a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Yang Yifan was not angry, he smiled and said: "It's been a long time since we last met, it seems I still can't figure out your background, Brother Jin."

Jin Zeming no longer responded and walked towards the Mu Group headquarters in the city center.

“Brother Jin, you are going to the border project this time. I feel an indescribable uneasiness in my heart.” Yang Yifan walked side by side with his arms folded across his chest, with a hint of worry in his tone, as if he was full of confusion about the future, and as if he had doubts about whether the path he had chosen was correct.

"Since you're uneasy, why don't you just not go?" Jin Zeming said indifferently.

Yang Yifan shook his head and said, "Not going? We have spent years traveling around the world just to reveal the true face of this world. Now that we are about to succeed, I will not be willing to not go."

"Brother Jin, are you really not curious at all about the truth behind this world?" Yang Yifan asked.

"Not interested." Jin Zeming answered firmly.

"Are you so sure?" Yang Yifan looked at him strangely, "I always feel like Brother Jin seems to know something."

Jin Zeming paused for a moment, then continued forward, saying, "That so-called 'overseas project' is not something you can get involved in with your current strength. Don't take it lightly just because you have some achievements. I warn you again, if you go in there with your current abilities, your chances of survival are very slim."

"Brother Jin, I've always wanted to ask you, you seem to know a lot about the inside story of that overseas project, and you've even told me more than once that participating in that project is almost like committing suicide. After all, we've been friends for many years, so can't you give me some useful clues?"

Jin Zeming fell silent. After a moment, he slowly uttered two words: "Black Water."

Yang Yifan looked at him in surprise. "Blackwater Group? They are good at psychological manipulation. Once those who are obsessed with power and interests fall into it, they will be controlled by them. Be careful when you meet them."

"..."

"Brother Jin, could it be that you have already been there in advance?" Yang Yifan couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Jin Zeming glanced at him and replied, "I don't have that much free time. I know very well that I am not qualified to touch that project now."

Behind the overseas projects, there are countless powerful forces with a long history. Who knows how long they have existed? It is estimated that they have at least a few decades of history. After all, the existence of those overseas forces makes him feel that they seem to have no lifespan limit.

A few decades is enough for a pig to become a god-like existence. A group of young people who have lived for less than 200 years in total actually tried to bypass the blockade of the industry giant, the Wangquan Group, and plunge into that unknown world. It was really naive.

The two chatted idly on the way.

"elder brother!"

When little Yangmu saw Yang Yifan, he rushed forward excitedly and hugged him.

Yang Yifan smiled and touched his head, "Brother, have you been naughty when your brother is not around?"

"No, I'm very good."

At this time, Yang Yan came out and asked in surprise: "Yifan, why are you here?"

"Aunt, I came to see you."

Yang Yifan turned to Dongfang Yuzhu, bowed slightly and said, "Ms. Dongfang, it's nice to see you again."

"Mr. Yang."

Yang Yifan sat in the courtyard for a while, then stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

He should go back to the company.

At the entrance of the village, Yang Yifan turned to Jin Zeming and said, "Brother Jin, I'll leave little Yangmu in your care. He has a very high talent, not inferior to me. I have already taught him the method of cultivating the Heavenly Eye, but I have not yet taught him the secret of cultivating his inner strength. As a master, you must not be secretive in this regard."

"Do not worry."

"I will teach my apprentice with all my heart."

Jin Zeming said this, looking at Yang Yifan who was about to leave, and finally called him.

"Wait, I have something for you."

Then, he took out a special business card from his briefcase. Yang Yifan took the business card. Jin Zeming did not explain much, but only said: "At the critical moment, it may save your life."

Yang Yifan carefully examined the business card in his hand. The texture was similar to the high-grade metal material that Li Zhichuan had given him. The only difference was that the pattern on the business card was not red, but gold. As for what the pattern represented, he had no idea.

"Thank you, Brother Jin. If I can return safely, I will definitely treat you to a good drink."

Yang Yifan smiled brightly, got into the car and drove away.

Watching him leave, Jin Zeming stood at the entrance of the village and fell into deep thought for a short while.

The business card given to Yang Yifan contained his elite network resources and some unique business confidential information. Both the network and the business secrets were of extremely high value and could help him at critical moments.

He knew that he could not stop their risky decision, and even if he taught them a lesson, he could not eliminate their determination. For many things, they would only truly understand the risks involved after experiencing them personally.

At the same time, Yang Yifan, who was leaving, had other thoughts in his mind.

To be honest, his exploration of overseas projects is indeed driven by personal interests and is not as pure as that of others.

Others only came to explore overseas projects, but in addition to exploration, he had another more important goal - to enhance the ability of the third eye on his forehead.

As we all know, the core competitiveness of the Yang family lies in the "Sky Eye" ability that family members are born with, which can see through market dynamics and the strategic layout of competitors. Therefore, just as Wangquan Group improves its own strength by strengthening swordsmanship, the Yang family constantly observes and analyzes market conditions with the Sky Eye. The more they see and the more in-depth their analysis, the stronger their business intuition and judgment will be.

As a rare business genius in the Yang family in a century, Yang Yifan has opened his third eye since he was a child. His friends are all young talents from major well-known companies. They can be said to be the most dazzling group of people in the business world.

With such a group of excellent friends and his own strength, Yang Yifan has already seen clearly the various opportunities and risks in the domestic market. In other words, the domestic market is no longer new to him.

He is only 21 years old now, in the golden period of his life, but his career has reached a bottleneck, which makes him very unwilling.

Therefore, he turned his attention to overseas projects. Although he knew that the journey was full of dangers, he still chose to face the challenges.

Even if he might encounter misfortune abroad, it would be much better than being trapped in the same place, stagnating in cultivation, and finally growing old silently. He didn't want to live a mediocre life. As a young man, how could he easily back down from the challenges? When he looked back decades later, he didn't want to regret that he had done nothing in his life.

……

King Power Building.

"Mom, the osmanthus cake you made yourself is really delicious."

"Mom, please make more. This is not enough for my brother and I."

Wang Quanyue was beside a noble lady, chattering non-stop...

In the center of the bustling city, Wang Quan's residence is located in a luxurious villa area. At this time, Wang Quan's humble wife, who is also the mother of Wang Quan Baiye and Wang Quanzui, is smiling, with a mother's unique love and care in her eyes.

"Zui'er, how is your relationship with the young man from the Yang family going?" she asked.

"Oh, Mom, there's really no special relationship between Yang Jie and me, don't think too much." Wang Quan responded while mumbling drunkenly.

"Really nothing?" The woman obviously didn't believe it and continued to ask: "Ever since you met Yang Jie, I felt that you were a little different. To be honest, are you interested in him?"

"That's impossible!" Wang Quanzui's eyes widened and he turned his head away: "Mom, you should pay more attention to my brother. He is not a child anymore. It's time to find him a suitable partner to marry."

The woman smiled and shook her head: "Zui'er, your brother has his own arrangements, but you just play around all day, and you are not young anymore. I think Yang Jie is a good kid, polite, handsome, successful in his career, and the conditions of our two families are comparable. Such a good son-in-law should not be missed."

"Mom..." Wang Quan stomped his feet drunkenly and protested with a pout: "Don't interfere in this kind of thing. If Yang Jie hears about it, how can I face him in the future?"

Although the woman had doubts in her heart, she also noticed that the last time Yang Jie visited Wang Quan's mansion, her daughter called him "Second Brother Yang" at one moment and called him intimately at another. Zui'er, who usually always stuck to her brother, even dressed up specially in front of Yang Jie. This made her suspect that her daughter might have fallen into unrequited love.

In another corner of the city, the inner courtyard of Wangquan Palace.

Wang Quan Shouzhuo was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, opposite his eldest son Wang Quan Baiye. The two of them were competing with each other on the chessboard. Wang Quan Shouzhuo coughed from time to time. The only sound in the pavilion was the sound of chess pieces falling.

After a long time, Wang Quan Shouzhuo was the first to break the silence: "Bai Ye, do you know why I gave you this name?"

"My father hopes that I can achieve success in business and build a great career in the future." Wang Quan Baiye replied.

Wang Quan Shouzhuo coughed again and continued, "Yes, I did have such expectations at the time. But now my health is getting worse, otherwise I would not have handed over the responsibility of the family business to Gu Yue of the Dongfang family. Compared with me, you have more leadership qualities. I will not stop you from doing anything. We are also investigating the mysterious competitor and the forces behind him. I just hope you will act cautiously, because the future rise and fall of Wang Quan Group depends on you."

Wang Quanbaiye replied calmly: "Father, please rest assured that I have no other plans, and I will not do anything that I am not sure of."

In fact, he had never told his father about his plan to go overseas to expand business on July 7 next month. He was convinced that the members of the Mask Alliance would not disclose the organization's secrets. The reason why his father said this was probably because his and his sister's recent behavior had attracted his father's attention.

There was silence between father and son for a moment, and the crisp sound of chess pieces falling to the ground was heard again. When the last black piece of Wang Quan's hegemony fell, he had already won. He stood up, bowed to Wang Quan Shouzhuo, and left.

Wang Quan Shouzhuo looked at the empty chessboard and said to himself, "Reality is not a chess game, and the chess pieces cannot be trusted. Baiye, I hope you don't treat real life as a chessboard, because real life is far more complicated and dangerous than a duel on the chessboard. If you make a wrong move, the consequences will be disastrous. A strong man is easily broken."

After Wang Quan Baiye left, Wang Quan Shouzhuo was filled with worries. "I've always felt uneasy lately, as if something is about to happen. Baiye and Zui'er have also been behaving strangely recently..."

At this time, the chubby housekeeper Fei came over with a smile on his face, and comforted him: "Master, maybe you are overworked. The young master may have had some changes in his heart because of his loss to Jin Renjie of the Shenhuo Group last time. After all, no one in his age group can beat him."

"Xiaofei, do you think Jin Renjie is really that strong?" Wang Quan Shouzhuo asked doubtfully, "I remember a few years ago, when Chen Ming brought him to our Wang Quan Group, you said he was just a beginner in magic. How come he has become so powerful in just a few years?"
