Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

“That’s right, I told you before, but you didn’t understand what I was doing.”

"Who would come knocking on my door to cooperate without having the slightest doubt about my abilities? They're being way too impatient."

"Oh, that's for sure."

Only now do Zhang Dong's relatives remember that Zhang Dong did indeed say this to them back then.

But they were blinded by greed at the time and felt that this was a good opportunity for cooperation.

Zhang Dong proactively pushed them out the door and took them to a hotel in town. They looked anxious, but little did they know that Zhang Dong had already seen through their deception.

At this moment, his uncle looked doubtful: "I say Zhang Dong, he really is strange. You can see this, but Wang Jianguo isn't a complete fool. How could he not see it?"

“Yes, yes.” Zhang Guangming, standing to the side, also looked puzzled. “Son, he’s supposed to be the old fox, having been in the jade business for so many years.”

Seeing his father and uncle have this question, Zhang Dong smiled and explained to them.

“Wang Jianguo is indeed a cunning old fox, but he’s not having an easy time now. Since our mines have come up, they’ve put pressure on them.”

“I’ve been suppressing this guy at every turn, which has caused a major problem for jade sales.”

"So I was anxious and couldn't wait, plus I felt like I was being taken advantage of, so I couldn't wait to stick to it."

"Once we reach a cooperation agreement with these jade merchants, they can publicly humiliate me."

"It was precisely because of these various relationships that even this old fox was deceived."

"Haha, so that's how it is." Zhang Guangfei, standing nearby, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Zhang Dong, everyone used to say I had a lot of clever ideas, but I didn't expect you to have even more than me."

"I never saw through your tactics before. I always thought you'd throw away the easy prey without hesitation..."

"Haha, now you all understand why I did this? It was to trick this old man into being fooled."

Zhang Dong didn't tell his relatives the specifics of the situation because he was afraid the news would get out. After all, too many people would talk too much, and if Wang Jianguo became too suspicious, wouldn't that be letting the old man off easy?

Zhang Dong was extremely happy that this bastard had been fooled.

"Haha, Zhang Dong, I heard that Wang Jianguo is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles, and even trying to find their hometown based on the address on their ID cards."

"What? Wang Jianguo actually has such a bizarre idea?" Zhang Dong laughed again. "He's really a big idiot. He's probably confused. These swindlers dared to sign a contract with him using his ID card, so that ID card must be fake."

Once Zhang Dong revealed this, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, haha, it seems Wang Jianguo has really lost his mind in desperation, making one blunder after another..."

Woniu Village, Wang Jianguo's home.

Wang Jianguo was furious: "Damn it, their ID cards are all fake! Where are we supposed to find them?"

His lackeys trembled with fear when they saw Wang Jianguo get angry.

Now that such a big thing has happened, none of them dared to speak in the face of their boss's furious rage.

The main problem is that they never truly believed that these southern merchants were actually big swindlers.

"You bastards, the information you gave me back then said that these southern merchants were being housed in a hotel in town by Zhang Dong, so I went to look for them."

"If you hadn't reminded me, I would never have signed the contract with them."

Seeing their boss blame them for the situation, these lackeys were filled with resentment.

Li San stammered, "They're dressed in suits and ties, all very well-groomed. They don't seem like con artists at all."

Unexpectedly, his words caused Wang Jianguo's anger to completely erupt.

"Damn it, even the dumbest swindler wouldn't have 'swindler' written on their face, would they? On the contrary, these swindlers are incredibly clever at deceiving people, always dressing themselves up like legitimate businessmen..."

“Yes, yes, boss, we were fooled by their appearance. I feel Zhang Dong did this on purpose,” Zhao Dazhuang added, embellishing the story.

"What, on purpose?"

"You're saying he deliberately sent these businessmen to the hotel in town to lure me in?"

Li San, who was standing to the side, also realized what was going on: "Boss, I feel that's definitely the case."

"Don't you find it strange?"

"If Zhang Dong really wanted to cooperate with them like this, he wouldn't have just sent them to a hotel in town and then ignored them completely."

"Boss, think about it, doesn't this make sense?"

Wang Jianguo's lips twitched: "That's right, damn it, that bastard actually tricked me, deliberately set up this trap to try and make me fall into it..."

Previously, Wang Jianguo only thought about how to embarrass Zhang Dong and steal his business, and never thought of this aspect. Now, as he slowly thinks back, he realizes that this is indeed the case.

Once he realized what was happening, Wang Jianguo became even more furious. He had previously cursed those swindlers, wishing them a terrible death, but now he transferred all his anger onto Zhang Dong.

"Zhang Dong, you good-for-nothing."

"You're fucking cunning, deliberately hiring a few swindlers to trick me. You just wait, I'll settle this score with you sooner or later..."

"A-choo, A-choo!"

Zhang Dong, who was discussing the matter with his family, sneezed several times in a row.

"Haha, if I'm not mistaken, that bastard Wang Jianguo is talking about me right now, and he might blame everything on me."

"What, you're being blamed?" Zhang Guangyao snorted coldly. "How dare you blame us? It has nothing to do with us. He went and got tricked himself."

Zhang Dong shook his head: "You don't understand Wang Jianguo. Right now, he might not even hate those swindlers. He might even think that I deliberately brought them here so that he would be fooled..."

"Damn it!" Zhang Dong's uncle was speechless with anger.

After hurling a few curses, he snorted coldly, "If that's how he is, then let him do it. We won't make a move unless he comes after us, but if he does, we won't be pushovers..."

Upon seeing his uncle, the security captain, express his opinion, Zhang Dong smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, even if Wang Jianguo is furious, he won't come knocking on our door, since the other party doesn't have any concrete evidence."

"But we must not let our guard down when it comes to safety at the mine, especially in the outer area. Be careful that the other side doesn't resort to desperate measures and try to sabotage us."

Upon hearing his nephew's instructions, Zhang Guangyao patted his chest repeatedly.

"Don't worry, nephew."

“I have already gained some experience. You have entrusted me with such an important task, and I am determined not to let anything happen to our mine.”

"If that's the case, I'll never be able to face you again."
