Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

It was two days later when Lu Yang returned to the provincial capital.

The mall's renovation work is still ongoing, and because Ji Kang is trying to speed things up, the first and second floors are almost finished.

Lu Yang didn't go directly to the mall; instead, he called Zheng Wei first.

Before leaving the provincial capital, he was still worried, so he thought of asking Zheng Wei to come and help keep an eye on He Yunwei.

After all, Zheng Wei is a professional in this field, yet he has been saying for the past few days that he hasn't found any problems.

Lu Yang didn't think He Yunwei would just give up. He was still a little uneasy, so he kept rushing to the provincial capital as fast as possible.

He had just arrived at the intersection of the provincial capital when he saw a black sedan parked on the side of the road.

As soon as he drove past, the black sedan started moving and followed closely behind him.

Lu Yang frowned. Just then, he received a call from Zheng Wei.

Zheng Wei said urgently, "Boss He Yunwei and his two employees drove off on the highway leading to the provincial capital. I don't have a car, so I couldn't keep up with them."

"I see them, they're following right behind me now."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Wei exclaimed in surprise and quickly shouted, "What should we do? He's not trying to run you over, is he?"

Lu Yang calmly said, "Please call the police for me. I've just entered the provincial capital area. I'll try my best to slow down the cars behind me."

Zheng Wei quickly agreed. Lu Yang was his big benefactor; at this time last year, he almost went hungry.

Because he works for Lu Yang, he's living a life of luxury now, and he doesn't want to lose this job.

He quickly hung up Lu Yang's call, called the police, and then hailed a taxi, heading towards the entrance of the provincial capital.

"Lu Yang, please don't die! Lu Yang, please don't die!"

He hurried toward the entrance to the provincial capital while praying silently.

After receiving the report, the police immediately dispatched officers, as they all knew that Lu Yang was the boss in charge of the provincial capital's shopping mall project.

Judging from Zheng Wei's tone, someone wanted to kill him, and they had to dispatch the police immediately and also inform the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

When Shen Fuju heard that Lu Yang had been caught up by He Yunwei, he immediately frowned.

He slammed down the phone, angrily shouting, "That He Yunwei is incredibly audacious! Does he really think the provincial capital is his own private property?!"

Despite his anger, he still had to get Lu Yang out of trouble as soon as possible and prevent He Yunwei from actually killing him.

He immediately called the police station he knew and asked them to keep an eye out for Lu Yang's whereabouts along the way.

If you see Lu Yang and He Yunwei's car, stop them immediately and prevent He Yunwei from making a move.

However, after Lu Yang's car drove into the city center, He Yunwei did not make a move.

Lu Yang then realized that He Yunwei had never intended to kill him; he was just deliberately trying to scare Lu Yang.

Lu Yang sighed, pulled over, and said coldly, "Mr. He, you've been following me all this way. Let's get out and talk. What exactly do you want?"

He Yunwei slowly got out of the car, a hint of teasing in his eyes: "I thought you were incredibly brave, but I didn't expect you to be so timid."

"They contacted Deputy Director Shen, right? He had the police stations along the way send people to intercept us. I've seen several police cars."

Lu Yang also saw the police cars, and he helplessly took out two packs of cigarettes from the trunk.

After the police car stopped and the officers got out, Lu Yang hurriedly went to greet them.

"I'm sorry, it was a misunderstanding. Mr. He's car was just following behind me, he didn't make a move."

Lu Yang opened the packs of cigarettes and gave one to each policeman.

After some hesitation, the police officers finally accepted the cigarettes.

One of the police officers warned Lu Yang, "He Yunwei is a bit unreliable; be careful of him."

Lu Yang knew, of course, that He Yunwei was a dangerous person. This time, He Yunwei made it clear to him that he had known all along that Lu Yang had left.

Moreover, he knew roughly when Lu Yang would return, so he waited for him here on purpose.

His every move was under He Yunwei's watchful eye.

He Yunwei hasn't made a move for so long because he knows Lu Yang isn't in the provincial capital.

If they act now, they can't pin the blame on Lu Yang.

Lu Yang can easily absolve himself of all responsibility by claiming that his subordinates failed in their duties.

He Yunwei wanted the mall's projects, not just some random sabotage.

His target from beginning to end was only Lu Yang.

After thinking it through, Lu Yang regretted rushing back.

He calmly nodded, thanked the police officers, then got back into his car and drove straight to the mall.

Now that we know He Yunwei's purpose, there's no need to waste any more words with him.

He Yunwei watched Lu Yang's retreating figure and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, how dare you compete with me!"

After saying this in a sinister tone, He Yunwei got into his car and went straight back to the bar.

On his way back to the bar, he contacted his buddy on his cell phone and said only one sentence: "It's time to get started."

The man answered and hung up the phone, and Lu Yang had a bad feeling.

However, after entering the mall, he found that the first and second floors had already been renovated and there was nothing wrong with them.

His unease grew stronger, making him restless.

Just as he was feeling down, he saw Li Chen walking down from the third floor.

Upon seeing him approach, Li Chen chuckled, a hint of teasing in his eyes: "You got played by that guy, didn't you? That guy loves to pull these kinds of tricks."

"In military strategy, this is called 'feigning weakness to appear strong, and vice versa.' If you don't understand him, it's normal to be fooled by him."

Judging from Li Chen's appearance, he has clearly fallen for He Yunwei's tricks more than once.

This is understandable, as Li Chen's power has been suppressed for the past two years, while He Yunwei has risen to prominence.

Lu Yang frowned deeply and said, "This guy is probably about to make a move. Do you know what he's been up to behind the scenes lately?"

Li Chen stroked his chin and said nonchalantly, "I don't need to know. Someone will deal with him, but I'll have to pay a price."

Lu Yang looked at him strangely and asked doubtfully, "Is the person you found reliable? What price do you have to pay? Do you have to pay? We split the cost before."

Li Chen couldn't help but laugh, and said quietly, "It's really not about the money. We can't split this cost between us."

Lu Yang was puzzled, but Li Chen didn't seem inclined to explain. He simply invited Lu Yang to go to the third floor with him.

"For you, the mall's projects are just something to do when you're bored and you can casually throw some money into them."

“But this project concerns the future of me and dozens of my men, so I’m much more cautious than you are. You can rest assured.”

"It's less about you and He Yunwei competing for this project, and more about me competing with He Yunwei. You're like an outside helper I brought in."

Li Chen bluntly stated that it was clear he intended to take a dominant position in this project.
