A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

"As our port city is located at the southern tip of the country, have you asked if there is any situation regarding chicken plague?"

During the meal, Li Ruochun asked about Li Hongyan.

He was a businessman, and after hearing this news, he had already sensed the business opportunity.

If there really is an outbreak of chicken plague, then stockpiling pork would indeed be a highly profitable business.

"Hmph." Li Hongyan said dismissively, "When I heard the news, I called back immediately."

"That's not true at all. The price of chicken in the port city hasn't fluctuated at all."

"Moreover, as a commercial center, Hong Kong would definitely have known about such an important news as chicken plague in advance. Hong Kong didn't have this news, and we don't know where Hu Dahai got this news from."

Li Ruochun nodded and didn't say anything more. The reason he was so sensitive to Hu Dahai's news was because of the last incident. He heard that it was Hu Dahai who made Huang Renfa give up that piece of land.

Even the piece of land on the other side of the West Bus Station that Huang Renfa later chose was suggested by Hu Dahai.

This made Li Ruochun seriously doubt whether Hu Dahai was just lucky or actually had some real skills.

But now that I think about it, this Hu Dahai probably heard something about it, or maybe it was just pure luck.

Based on Li Ruochun's knowledge, fowl plague mostly occurs in spring and summer, and tends to subside in autumn and winter. In this cold weather, the probability of fowl plague is extremely low.

Li Ruochun thought for a moment: "Maybe Hu Dahai is just trying to attract attention. This matter is obviously not based on science."

The family treated it as a joke and laughed it off.

"Dad, recently I've been doing some business with Hu Dahai's two children and a relative." Li Hongyan felt it was better not to hide it from Li Ruochun.

"You've finally decided to tell me?" Li Ruochun said calmly.

Li Hongyan's heart tightened. Damn it, she never expected her father to be so perceptive, that he even knew about what she had done.

It's clear that all the family's companies are firmly controlled by the father.

I need to be careful in the future and make sure my father doesn't find any fault with me.

He quickly explained, "I was thinking of waiting until things stabilized a bit before telling you. I was also worried that these two guys were deliberately sent by Hu Dahai, just like Huang Gai did before, to stage a ruse."

"Now that some time has passed, I've come to realize that these two kids really have a grudge against Hu Dahai, especially that Hu Wangfu. He's really ruthless; he'll do anything to make money."

"I was thinking that when the time was right, we could use these two kids to give Hu Dahai a good beating."

"Let his child hurt him."

Li Ruochun remained noncommittal after hearing Li Hongyan's words.

While eating, he said, "Is it because Hu Dahai made you lose face at the auction last time that you're targeting him?"

Li Hongyan didn't expect his father to know this. It seems that one of his followers is his father's spy.

“This…” Li Hongyan hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, “Yes, I’m going to make Hu Dahai suffer!”

Li Ruochun asked, "Do you know who this Hu Dahai is?"

Li Hongyan was taken aback, not expecting her father to ask such a question.

He said blankly, "Isn't he Huang Renfa's friend?"

Li Ruochun shook her head: "It's not that simple. Do you remember many years ago, when we came back to visit relatives in Hangzhou, you hit someone with your motorcycle?"

"You weren't thinking clearly at the time. Instead of stopping, you drove faster and faster, leaving that person far behind."

"Ahem, Father, why are you bringing this up?" Li Hongyan coughed awkwardly, thinking of what happened back then.

After all, what happened back then wasn't a good thing, so it's really not worth talking about like that.

Li Ruochun glanced at Li Hongyan with a mocking expression and said again, "The person you hit back then was Hu Dahai's wife."

"Although we handled what happened back then very discreetly, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Someone might just expose it. So if you really want to get rid of Hu Dahai, you'd better make sure that Hu Dahai has no chance of making a comeback."

"Otherwise, if Hu Dahai investigates further and finds out that you are the real culprit, it might cause us some trouble. Although we are not afraid, it's always better to avoid trouble."

"This matter started because of you, so let you handle it yourself for now."

At that time, Li Ruochun was having dinner with Yan Yuming and Huang Renfa. When they were negotiating over a piece of land next to the West Bus Station, Hu Dahai was called upstairs by Yan Yuming. When Li Ruochun saw Hu Dahai, he felt that he looked familiar.

So after I got back, I secretly had someone investigate.

It turned out that Hu Dahai and he had this connection.

Li Hongyan felt a sudden tension in his nerves. He never expected that he would drag Hu Dahai into this again.

I originally thought that after my dad helped me sort things out, there wouldn't be any further problems.

But I never expected to run into the person in question. Is the world really that small?

"I understand," Li Hongyan nodded vigorously in agreement.

A greater sense of urgency arose in my heart.

Meanwhile, another piece of news was spreading rapidly in Hangzhou and even the surrounding cities.

"Did you know that a lot of people are buying duck products now, such as duck heads, duck feet, duck wings, duck legs and so on?"

"I've heard that it was all bought by those people who sell braised duck. They said they bought enough for a whole month."

"Bullshit, what do you mean by a month's supply? The guy we went to buy braised food today said that his people have stocked up for three months' worth, saying they're afraid the price will go up later."

"Are they all in cahoots? Why did they all buy the same thing? I wanted to buy some duck legs to stir-fry today, but I couldn't find a single one."

"Aren't these people a bit stupid? They can just buy what they need every day, why hoard so much? It's not like the market is going to close down tomorrow."

"I mean, I don't understand it at all. I even heard them talking about chicken plague. How could there be chicken plague? How could a small-time braised food vendor like him possibly discover chicken plague?"

Wang Jian and his group's actions undoubtedly struck many as strange, leaving many puzzled about the truth of the matter.

No one believed that there might be chicken plague, especially after Wang Jian and his group spread the word.

Even within the Qianmen sect, many people didn't quite understand.

"Why do you think our Deputy Sect Leader Wang wants us to buy so many duck products to stockpile?"

"I don't know. We've been using all the money we've earned lately to buy duck products. Why do you care so much? Vice Sect Leader Wang isn't the kind of person who would do anything reckless. He must have his own reasons for doing this."

"Yes, although I don't understand it either, I'll just believe it for now. I trust Vice Sect Leader Wang's character. Besides, he rented a large cold storage room, so this meat won't be cooked quickly and won't affect us."

"Who is our sect leader? It seems like Vice Sect Leader Wang usually handles things. Our sect leader must be much more capable."

"I heard that this whole thing was arranged by the sect leader. Let us see the sect leader's strength and what he's up to."
