At Huang Renfa's home, Hu Dahai, having just finished selling fish, sat on their luxurious sofa. In front of him was a coffee table laden with various fruits, canned goods, milk, cakes, and other snacks.

"The sea, eat."

Huang Renfa disassembled it in various ways, hoping to give Hu Dahai as much food as possible.

Hu Dahai said bitterly: "If I eat all of this, I'll be lying on my back all day."

He ate symbolically while chatting with Huang Renfa.

This revealed the truth behind Huang Renfa's wealth: he was bold and adept at handling situations. Many state-owned enterprises were facing losses and a lack of orders at that time, while their transport vehicles required staff, maintenance, fuel, and other expenses.

So Huang Renfa bought their vehicles and contracted their transportation business. He could also use these vehicles for other transportation in his spare time, and gradually his business grew bigger and bigger.

“Dahai, you have to deliver fish to the city every day. It’s so slow for you to walk. From now on, I’ll arrange a car to deliver them to you every day! That way, you can save a lot of time.”

Huang Renfa had just tried to give Hu Dahai money, but Hu Dahai refused to accept it no matter what, so he had no choice but to come up with this idea to do something for Hu Dahai.

Hu Dahai initially wanted to refuse, but then he thought that if he did that, he could save a lot of time, so he immediately agreed.

Seeing that Hu Dahai had agreed, Huang Renfa was very happy. He then brought up another matter: "Dahai, how did you get into a feud with that Lu Wenlong? That guy is petty. You'd better be careful in the future."

Hu Dahai told Huang Renfa about his ex-wife's drunk driving incident with Lu Wenlong and the grudge he had with the Lingdong Brigade.

"Is that so?" Huang Renfa said, then frowned and pondered, feeling that something was amiss.

He hesitated for a long time before saying, "The car that hit your wife that day was an Audi? Lu Wenlong was driving an Audi? And he was drunk driving? Something doesn't seem right."

Huang Renfa's seemingly ordinary words immediately struck Hu Dahai's mind like a bolt from the blue.

Over the years, he had never thought about the issues involved. At the time, they said Lu Wenlong was a driver for someone else, but a professional driver, if he had been drinking, would he have been driving his boss's car recklessly? Wasn't he afraid of losing his job?

Furthermore, Hu Dahai immediately thought of what Lu Wenlong had just said: that with the boss's help, he had been released from prison early, and the attention Lu Wenlong had recently received.

A terrifying conjecture immediately formed in Hu Dahai's mind. However, he needed to verify this conjecture himself; relying solely on his own guess was not enough.

Seeing the change in Hu Dahai's expression, Huang Renfa understood that Hu Dahai must have guessed something.

He didn't say much, but secretly admired Hu Dahai for being such a smart man, able to understand things so easily.

"If there's anything I can help you with, I can. I can't guarantee anything in other places, but in Hangzhou, I, Huang Renfa, have a lot of influence," Huang Renfa said with great confidence.

"Thank you." Hu Dahai didn't say much, just a simple thank you.

Huang Renfa seemed worried that Hu Dahai would feel guilty, so he lit a cigarette and continued, "Actually, Lu Wenlong and I have a bit of a grudge, or rather, his boss has some conflict of interest with me."

"So I'd be happy to secretly take action against Lu Wenlong."

Huang Renfa originally thought that Hu Dahai would immediately feel that they were on the same side, or at least show joy and happiness.

However, Hu Dahai was very curious: "Who is Lu Wenlong's boss?"

“He’s a Hong Kong businessman named Li Ruochun, the owner of the Bafeng Group in Hong Kong.” Huang Renfa knew these people very well: “Li Ruochun’s favorite thing is to hoard land and build factories on the mainland. He has already acquired a lot of prime land in many cities around us.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Dahai nodded. Indeed, with the reform and opening up of China at that time, a large number of Hong Kong businessmen were among the first to enter the domestic market.

These Hong Kong businessmen have money, orders, connections, and resources, and they are optimistic about the burgeoning domestic market. Therefore, many of them have begun making various investments in China, such as building factories, constructing large buildings, and opening foreign trade companies.

The most important thing is that they still want to acquire land, because they know that once the country develops, this land will definitely become highly sought-after, the kind that everyone will be scrambling to buy at high prices.

Hu Dahai, as if struck by a sudden thought, asked Huang Renfa, "I wonder why you and Li Ruochun are having a conflict of interest? Is it also because of land?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Now many people in Hangzhou know that Li Ruochun and I have our eyes on a piece of land, the one next to the Hangzhou West Bus Station."

"Or rather, this was the land I originally wanted, but the price was too high, and I couldn't afford it all at once, so it was delayed for a while. I didn't expect that Li Ruochun would set his sights on my land as soon as he entered the Hangzhou market. He sent Lu Wenlong to negotiate with me once, and he was willing to give me the same price I originally paid for the land, plus 5 percent."

"Tch, this land is so good, it's bound to double in value in the future, and they only gave me 5 percent? They're really treating me like a beggar!" Huang Renfa said, getting a little angry.

Hu Dahai's eyes lit up as he listened to Huang Renfa's words. He thought of something about the land.

Curious, he pressed on, "Mr. Huang, is the land you're talking about the one opposite the West Bus Station? The one near the national highway?"

Huang Renfa clapped his hands: "Yes, that's the place. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about the ocean, knowing so much about that area."

Upon hearing this, Hu Dahai's expression turned somewhat bitter. He had a very deep impression of this land because it would later become a heritage park.

He also heard that when the developers were digging to build on the land, they dug the foundation a little too deep, and something went wrong. It turned out that there was an ancient burial pit under the foundation. They originally intended to keep it a secret, but the more they dug, the more suspicious it seemed.

Because they discovered that this place was actually a huge burial ground with more than a dozen tombs.

There was no way to keep it a secret anymore, and the developer had no choice but to report the news to the relevant departments.

The large cluster of tombs immediately attracted the attention of experts and relevant government departments, who promptly mobilized a large group of professionals to investigate and conduct a thorough study. They ultimately concluded that it was a Tang Dynasty burial complex with extremely high research value.

So the government stepped in and bought the land at the original price. The developer suffered a huge loss; not only did so much money sit in the government's hands without any interest, but they also lost money on equipment and raw materials.

Hu Dahai hadn't expected that this land was also related to Huang Renfa, but he didn't know whether Huang Renfa was the one who suffered losses in his previous life.

So he smiled and reminded her, "If you're after that piece of land, I think you'd be better off not buying it. It would be best to sell it for a little more money. Because from a feng shui perspective, this piece of land isn't very good."

"On the contrary, the land on the other side of the West Bus Station is better."

But no matter what, he had to talk to Huang Renfa. He hoped that Huang Renfa would listen to him and give the land to Li Ruochun and his group, so that Li Ruochun could suffer a good loss.

"Huh?!" Huang Renfa was taken aback. He had thought Hu Dahai would say something else, but he didn't expect him to sell such a good location to Li Ruochun.

Isn't this blatantly admitting defeat to Li Ruochun and giving her the benefits?
