Chapter 47

  Everyone had a great time eating, especially the meat dish. Several big shots from the city were savoring it with relish, while Cheng Zihang and his group didn't even touch their chopsticks.

  After dinner, Cheng Hai also returned from Wangcheng. Seeing Cheng Zihan, he first scolded him for a while, then showed concern, and finally saw a group of strangers sitting in the house.

  "This is..." Cheng Hai looked at Zhou Mingxuan and others, always feeling that they were not simple, with a subtle oppressive aura on their bodies, making people feel terrified.

  "These few people are from the city, and the archaeologists in the city have just bid on the riverbank land near your house and detected ancient Tang Dynasty tombs there, so they want to talk to you about recovering that land." Li Bojian stood up at this time and explained.

  Cheng Hai just passed by and greeted Zhou Mingxuan and others, "Hello."

  He didn't rush to bring up the matter, because this land was originally proposed by Cheng Zihan to be returned, and the money for the competitive bidding at that time was also paid by Cheng Zihan. As for whether or not to let it go, he still needs to discuss with Cheng Zihan. Moreover, Cheng Hai doesn't know what the situation is now, and there was a murder case there just recently, and now they're saying something about a Tang Dynasty ancient tomb, which really makes him hard to digest.

  "Mr. Cheng, regarding that piece of land, we are willing to make compensation to you. If you don't have any issues with it, I hope we can reach an agreement as soon as possible." Zhou Mingxuan was being polite, probably because he had eaten at their house and didn't want to turn against them immediately.

  Cheng Zihan looked at Zhou Mingxuan for a while before lowering her head and remaining silent.

  Cheng Hai furrowed his brow, looking at Zhou Mingxuan as if struggling, "Sorry, this came too suddenly, I think I need to consider it carefully."

  Zhou Mingxuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "Of course, then you'd better think about it carefully. I'll come find you again tomorrow."

  Listening to Zhou Mingxuan's words, Cheng Zihan couldn't help but roll her eyes. This guy's words sounded good, seeming like he was willing to negotiate, but the overbearing nature beneath was not reduced in the slightest. If she didn't thoroughly teach him a lesson this time, how could she be worthy of herself?

  After seeing off Zhou Mingxuan, Lai Ying couldn't help but scold him, "A Hai, it's not that I want to say you, but aren't you stupid? What a great opportunity! If the other party is willing to compensate us with tens of thousands, our family's future will be much better! What are you still considering? Anyone else would have agreed immediately, but you, this child, just don't think things through..."

  Lai Ying wanted to continue scolding, but Cheng Zihan coldly interrupted her, "Cheng Lao seems to have made a mistake? It seems that we've already separated, and that land is our family's land. It has nothing to do with you, right? How to handle it should be decided by us, not you."

  Lai Ying's face turned very ugly when she heard this, and she glared fiercely at Cheng Zihuan. She couldn't believe that he would dare to be so presumptuous with her. Just as she was about to get angry, Cheng Hai also spoke up, "Mom, it was you who suggested we split the family in the first place, and you said you wouldn't interfere with our affairs afterwards. So don't meddle in this matter."

  "Fine, fine, fine! I don't care, I won't care about anything anymore! You can do whatever you want! It's really true that good intentions are not rewarded!" Lai Ying said a few words in hatred, then turned around and went back to her own room, slamming the door shut with force.

  Cheng Shi Hao glanced at Cheng Zi Han and then at Cheng Hai, shook his head and sighed, before returning to his own room.

  "Zi Han, that piece of land..." Cheng Hai looked at Cheng Zi Han and asked hesitantly.

  "Give it to them! Of course, we have to give it to them. This piece of land is a hot potato in our hands, and we can't keep it for ourselves. But we must make a good deal out of it." Cheng Zihan said with a sly smile.

  Cheng Hai suddenly felt a bit cold, seeing Cheng Zihan's smile, he suddenly felt some sympathy for Zhou Mingxuan and his group.

  In that strange place, the guy who claimed to be Fahai had already told her that the so-called blood corpse they saw before was just an illusion caused by a poisonous grass in the bamboo forest that could make people hallucinate after being scratched.

  That underground ancient tomb has a powerful zombie, but it has been sealed by a superior being and will not wake up for the time being. As for that big snake, don't worry, it's estimated to be asleep for at least a hundred years.

  That piece of land is also understood by Chengzi Han, they hold it in their hands without any use, that place is on the riverbank, can only be used to plant some things, and every year there are several months of flood season, no matter what kind of crop is planted, it will definitely not make a lot of money, now there is such a good opportunity to make a big profit, why not do it?

  Zhou Mingxuan was so anxious to get that piece of land, probably because there's something he needs at the bottom of it. Before he gets his hands on it, Cheng Zihans must first figure out what exactly he wants.

  Now Tian Can and Meng Cong are also poisoned and have fallen into an illusion. As for why Qin Ke Xiu was fine, it's because he was originally a soul without a physical body, so he wasn't poisoned.

  However, Cheng Zihan believes that Tian Can and Mang Cang are not simple goods, and it is estimated that they will recover soon. Moreover, Cheng Zihan has never thought of relying on them to achieve his own dreams, and no matter who relies on whom, it will not be a good thing for Cheng Zihan.

  After deciding to return the land to Zhou Mingxuan, Cheng Zihan leaned in close to Cheng Hai's ear and told him her plan.

  Cheng Hai's eyes widened in shock as he listened.

  This move is really high!

  Cheng Hai couldn't help but admire Cheng Zihan's business acumen. This plan could not only make a fortune from Zhou Mingxuan, but also control the amount well, without being too greedy, while ensuring that Zhou Mingxuan would definitely agree, and at the same time, safeguarding his own interests. Cheng Hai's gaze towards Cheng Zihan had changed.

  However, he thought there was a superior person behind him guiding Cheng Zihuan, so he didn't have any suspicions.

  "Dad, tomorrow when you go to negotiate with them, take me along, I'm afraid they might change their minds halfway." After discussing the plan, Cheng Zihan said to Cheng Hai.

  Cheng Hai nodded, naturally without refusing.

  After the two of them had made their plans, they were just about to rest and prepare for tomorrow's plan when they saw Li Lan sitting there with a worried look on her face, seemingly concerned about something.

  "Mom, what's wrong?" Cheng Zihan couldn't help but ask with a puzzled expression when she saw Li Lan's look.

  Li Lan looked at Cheng Zihan with some uncertainty and asked, "Zihan, do you think something will happen to them after eating that meat?"

  When Li Lan spoke, Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently and she silently turned her face away.

  Cheng Hai was somewhat curious and asked, "What kind of meat?"

  Cheng Zihan silently glanced at the plate of meat that had been eaten clean, her mouth twitching again before she weakly said, "Shouldn't die from it, worst case just diarrhea until dehydration..."

  Li Lan: "......"

  Digression

  Zhou Mingxuan: What meat?

  Li Bojian: What meat? +1

  Cheng Hai: What meat? +2

  Lai Ying: What meat? +3

  Cheng Shihao: What meat? +4

  ……

  Certain meat: ……I am rat meat……

  Everyone spits.

  Certain meat: I am the mouse meat that was poisoned to death by rat poison...

  Everyone continues to spit.

  Certain meat: I am the flesh of a rat in the stinky ditch that was poisoned by rat poison...

  Everyone has already vomited and fainted...
