Chapter Eighteen

  Jing Hai has already expressed his attitude, and Lai Ying also didn't want to continue saying anything, so she closed her mouth with a hum.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at her lightly, but didn't plan to let her off so easily. "We won't talk about this matter for now, but the fact that our family lost so much money can't be ignored. Whoever took it, I will definitely find out! When the time comes, don't blame me if I go straight to report to the police!"

  This thief is extremely vicious, not only stealing money but also wanting to frame Chen Zihuan for it. This matter cannot be settled like this for Chen Zihuan.

  Lai Ying and Cheng Shihao's faces changed upon hearing this, looking somewhat unpleasant. However, they couldn't say anything, so they just let out a cold snort and each returned to their own room.

  There are only two days left for the bidding, and it's estimated that not much money can be made in these two days. Qin Kexiu's current situation is unknown, he has been silent since returning, probably injured and asleep. The follow-up matters can only rely on Cheng Zihan himself.

  However, on the way back, Cheng Zihan also found some unusual places. As usual, the village committee would not suddenly bid for the entire river beach land. This time it was sudden, and there must be something fishy about it. The people in the nearby villages are not very rich and cannot afford to bid. If no one bids, doesn't this bidding become meaningless?

  Cheng Zihan suddenly thought that many years later, the land near Wangcheng was also sold to a real estate developer at an ultra-low price through some means. The incident eventually caused a huge stir and many officials who participated in the bribery were removed from office.

  Is this time also like that? In the village committee, everyone knows that no villager can afford such a bidding method, and they will all give up bidding. In this case, as long as one person participates in the bidding, even if he only bids one yuan, because there is no other competition, he will win.

  Cheng Zihan thought about it more and more, feeling that there was a possibility. As for this competition, she had already made up her mind.

  Cheng Hai looked at Cheng Zihan with a thoughtful expression. After waking up from her high fever, Cheng Zihan's personality had changed greatly, as if she had become a different person.

  "Dad, let's discuss this bidding process. I'm confident that we can get it at a not-too-high price." Cheng Zihan said to Cheng Hai after she had made up her mind.

  Cheng Hai nodded and followed Li Lan, Cheng Zihan, and Cheng Zixi into the room, closing the door behind them.

  Cheng Zihan shared her speculation with Cheng Hai, who furrowed his brow and remained silent for a long time before slowly sighing.

  "Zihan, your guess might be right, but if we were to invest in that land, I'm afraid we would suffer a counterattack from the other side. You and Zixi are still young, and I worry that something unexpected will happen." Cheng Hai also expressed his concerns.

  Cheng Zihan nodded, this was also what she was worried about. Since the other party could collude with the village committee, it was likely that the old man would not be small, and there might really be such a possibility in the future.

  She was determined to get that piece of land no matter what dangers she would face.

  "After some thought, she said: "Dad, this doesn't need to be considered for now, or things may not be as bad as we think. And since it's a fair competition, our participation is nothing to worry about. If they really want to make a big deal out of this, I won't let them get away with it easily. The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridgehead, no need to think too much for now.""

  Cheng Hai looked at Cheng Zihan in surprise, but his heart had some doubts. Cheng Zihan's change was too great, not just him, or others might also suspect, if something unexpected happened...

  Cheng Zihan seemed to have sensed Cheng Hai's thoughts, stretched out his hand and hugged his neck, and said in a spoiled tone: "Dad, don't worry, since I have this confidence, I naturally have something to rely on. There is a superior person behind my back who will help at critical moments."

  Cheng Zihan wanted to dispel Cheng Hai's doubts on one hand and make him feel at ease on the other.

  Cheng Hai suddenly realized that there must be a superior person, no wonder he changed so much all of a sudden. He estimated that Cheng Zihan himself went out and met someone who gave him some pointers.

  Cheng Hai no longer had too many doubts, Cheng Zihan's personality was originally lively and cheerful, she knew a lot of people, and it could even be said that although she was young, her social circle was broader than Cheng Hai's. So if she met some big shot who gave her some secret guidance, it wasn't anything strange.

  Wangcheng may not be a big city, but there are also many hidden rich people hiding here, so Cheng Hai no longer doubted.

  Cheng Zihan and Cheng Haishang had discussed it and decided that they would secretly go out to find Shu Ling, with Qin Kexiu's situation weighing on their minds.

  At this time, the school had already finished classes, and many students were playing under the banyan tree. When Cheng Zihan arrived under the big tree, he saw many familiar faces, and those people also discovered Cheng Zihan.

  "Hey, isn't this Cheng Zihan? What's wrong? Want to fight again today? We've got a lot of people today, don't be afraid of you!" A relatively thin and weak boy suddenly came out from the crowd, saying with a sharp and sarcastic tone.

  Cheng Zihan took a glance at the man, remembering that this guy had always been on bad terms with him. They often quarreled and just recently got into a fight where Cheng Zihan broke his head. He didn't expect to run into him here today.

  "What's wrong, He Bo Xing? Not enough last time? Itchy skin again?" As for He Bo Xing, Cheng Zi Han really couldn't have any good feelings towards him. The reason she hit him last time was because she saw this not-so-old, lustful guy teasing a little girl, and she couldn't stand it so she hit him. She didn't expect him to come looking for trouble again today.

  "Hmph! Cheng Zihan, don't be so smug! I may not be able to beat you, but we have the advantage of numbers! Get her!" He Boxing venomously glared at Cheng Zihan and commanded a group of children behind him.

  He Bo Xing had eight young boys behind him, they looked like they were only five or six years old, the oldest was no more than eleven years old. When they heard He Bo Xing's words, they exchanged a glance with each other and hesitated for a moment.

  Cheng Zihan snorted coldly, "He Boxing, I don't want to fight you today. If you know what's good for you, get out of here immediately!"

  Cheng Zihan had just finished speaking when he suddenly felt someone pushing him hard from behind, and his body involuntarily rushed forward. He Baoxing was overjoyed at the sight and hastily rushed up to trip Cheng Zihan with his foot.

  Cheng Zihan's arm transmitted a sharp pain, under this banyan tree many people would throw out some of the trash from their homes, so there were quite a few pieces of glass. When Cheng Zihan fell down, she accidentally got scratched and blood gushed out suddenly.

  "Ah, bloodshed!" A little boy in the crowd shrieked and ran away in fear, and others also dispersed in a hurry.

  He Bo Xing looked at Cheng Zi Han's bleeding and was also a bit panicked, hurriedly shouting in a trembling voice: "Cheng Zi Han, you fell by yourself, it has nothing to do with me."

  After finishing speaking, he beckoned to the little girl who had just pushed Cheng Zihan to leave in a hurry.

  Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow, the pain in her arm making her feel a bit dizzy, but suddenly, a strange connection emerged in her mind, only to have her vision go black and faint before she could explore it further.
