556: Su Qingge's transformation, returning to the Magic City (Happy National Day!)

It was 9 PM, with a sparse scattering of stars in the clear night sky.

While the "10 Billion Yuan Wasteland" incident was causing a huge stir in Magic City... Lin Xuan had already left the Municipal Hall, his mood pleasant as he got into his Maybach and headed back in the direction he came from.

"Boss, is that piece of land really that valuable?"

"But why did I just hear people say that the land's potential is only [E]-grade, and it's not worth anything at all?"

"..."

In the passenger seat, Li Jie finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, scratching the back of his head as he turned to ask.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan meaningfully retorted, "When did I ever say that land was valuable?"

"Do you think pricing land is done casually?"

"That price was estimated by countless real estate professionals through various rigorous investigations; the probability of error is negligible."

"If it's [E]-grade today, it'll basically be [E]-grade for life."

"As for a miracle appearing? This isn't a novel or a movie; it doesn't exist!"

"..."

Ah... this? Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

If that land isn't valuable, then why were you all bidding for it like madmen?

Li Jie was utterly bewildered.

He then belatedly realized that his boss was setting a trap for the Huo Family... The thought of the renowned Huo Family in Magic City being played like a fiddle by his boss filled him with admiration for Lin Xuan, like a surging river, a big [RESPECT]! [Ding! Li Jie's loyalty +5, rewarded with 1000 Affection Points.]

[Current Loyalty: 80.]

...In the driver's seat.

The driver, Zheng Haonan, was flushed with excitement. ٩(๑＞◡＜๑)۶

He was still immersed in the image of Lin Xuan's imposing figure, calmly calling out billions with every gesture.

"Whether that piece of land is valuable or not doesn't matter at all!"

"What matters is how handsome Boss looked today when he shouted 'Jia Qian Ge'!!!"

"..."

In Zheng Haonan's opinion, this was the glorious life a true man should pursue.

With just a few words, he could stir the thoughts of countless people and shake an entire economy.

At this moment, a surge of admiration spontaneously arose in Zheng Haonan's heart... [Ding! Zheng Haonan's loyalty +5, rewarded with 1000 Affection Points.]

[Current Loyalty: 75.]

...Listening to the system prompts in his mind.

In the back seat, Lin Xuan's lips curved slightly, and he was in a very good mood.

He hadn't expected the bonus of "loyalty +" as a pleasant surprise; tonight was truly full of rewards~~~~

"Oh, right, Boss! I'd like to ask for a few days off!"

"(・◇・) Reason?"

Hearing that Li Jie wanted to take time off, Lin Xuan was a little surprised.

How long had this kid been on the job, and he was already asking for leave?

..."Boss, didn't you say you wanted to establish a security company and have me contact my former comrades from the army to join?"

"After hearing about the generous benefits you offered, they all responded enthusiastically and are currently on their way."

"I tallied them up, and there are about 300 people. They're coming from all over and are unfamiliar with the area, so I'd like to personally pick them up."

"..."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan approved immediately without a second thought.

He also told Li Jie to settle all the comrades who arrived early, and that he would be fully responsible for all their food, clothing, housing, and transportation expenses during that period.

As soon as these words came out, Li Jie was incredibly moved~~~~

What a kind and good boss (꒦_꒦)~~~~~

On the other side, Zheng Haonan, sensing a business opportunity, quickly volunteered.

"Boss, do you need help? Do you need me to help you recruit some skilled people too?"

"As long as you Jia Qian Ge, however many people you want, I'll bring them to you."

"..."

Lin Xuan didn't refuse Jia Qian Ge's kind offer.

He only cautioned him not to bring in any ruffians to make up the numbers.

With Li Jie's 300 retired special forces soldiers, he certainly didn't care for those small-time thugs who wielded machetes and bullied the weak... "Don't worry, Boss! I've traveled extensively over the years and met many martial artists. I'll ask around for you then, for example..."

"Cai Kun, the inheritor of the Kun Gate, whose single Iron Mountain Lean technique is unmatched in the world."

"Feng Yuxiu, the lone wolf who is proficient in the unique skills of various sects and challenges martial artists everywhere."

"Huang Feihong, the Grandmaster of Hung Gar, whose leg techniques are divine and who created the Foshan Shadowless Kick."

"..."

Holy crap! Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

Lin Xuan was dumbfounded; why did all the names Jia Qian Ge mentioned sound so familiar?

After a brief moment of confusion, he remembered that this was a novel world, and it seemed nothing was impossible.

He then quickly instructed Zheng Haonan to definitely recruit these people, offering a reward of 100,000 Mao Zedong bills for each successful recruitment.

Hearing such a generous bonus, Zheng Haonan's eyes instantly lit up, and he repeatedly guaranteed his success.

At the same time, he genuinely felt that he had followed a generous and good boss~~~~

Little did he know, in Lin Xuan's eyes, being able to recruit so many skilled individuals for a mere 100,000 yuan... he was clearly the one making a huge profit, wasn't he?

...[It's best to find a few female martial artists to specifically protect my wife.]

[Ah, my weak and defenseless wife...]

[She needs care more than anyone, and I wonder how she's doing now?]

...The thought of his weak, helpless, and pitiful wife made Lin Xuan's heart ache.

Fortunately, after tonight, tomorrow would be the agreed-upon third day; he hoped Qingge would return as promised... Otherwise, even if it meant paying a large amount of Affection Points, he would choose to use the system's power.

Through the car window, Lin Xuan gazed up at the starry night sky, and in his lost eyes, the girl's face and smile couldn't help but appear.

Qingge... what is she doing now?

Is she, like me, looking up at the same starry sky?

ε=(´ο｀*)))

Alas, Qingge, Qingge~~~

My delicate, pure, and soft wife Ծ‸Ծ~~~

You must be well; how can I live without you~~~~

...Scarlet Society Headquarters.

A young girl stood quietly in a spacious courtyard.

Suddenly.

She instinctively looked up, her gentle gaze piercing through layers of clouds, sharing the same brilliant starry sky with the man.

The moonlight, like a silken ribbon, fell upon her delicate body, which others considered incapable of carrying anything, lifting anything, or supporting a willow, fragile and vulnerable.

This person was Lin Xuan's beloved wife, Su Qingge, whom he longed for day and night.

She wore a long dress woven in black and red, its hem gently swaying in the wind.

The clear, cold moonlight shone on her, making her appear like the most enchanting mandrake in the night.

However, unlike the gentle and lovely demeanor she displayed in front of Lin Xuan... Su Qingge's face, illuminated by the moonlight, appeared even more cold and indifferent.

Her eyes seemed to hide an unfathomable depth.

And behind her, a bizarre and terrifying scene unfolded... Dozens of Scarlet Society members, clad in blood-red clothes and wearing skull masks, knelt trembling on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Not far away, a dozen or so corpses lay scattered, their deaths gruesome, their bodies hacked into dozens of pieces.

The entire spacious courtyard was now filled with a strong smell of blood... Happy National Day on October 1st!

How many days off do you brothers have?

Are you off for seven consecutive days starting tomorrow? I'm so envious... I've hardly ever celebrated these holidays; the only thing I can think of is taking my wife to see the movie "The Battle at Lake Changjin II."

But she said she wasn't interested in this year's movies and told me to quickly refund the tickets, sigh ε=(´ο｀*)))~~~

Tomorrow, I'll most likely still be wasting my life at home. A normal person's life is just boring and dull. Does anyone have anything fun to recommend~~~

...Seeking gifts, seeking power for love~~~~
