Chapter 121: The Buddha's Eye Sees Through the Murderous Flying Spider Web

  "One hundred billion dollars? A big money-making project?" Zhang Jun raised an eyebrow, "This requirement is not high."

  "You're quite confident." Shangguan Meixue stared at him and asked, "You look like you have a plan in mind, are there any secrets you haven't told me?"

  "Still thinking about how to become a first-class investor." said Zhang Jun.

  Shangguan Meixue's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said, "I'm currently lacking in achievements. As long as I have achievements, it doesn't matter if I'm a first-level investment officer or even the chief investment officer."

  What is called a war record, is the number of times successful investments are made. The country's foreign exchange assets of tens of billions of dollars, if left idle, will shrink in wealth, and only through investment can there be opportunities for money to make money and reduce losses. Therefore, the country will spare no effort to support and cultivate people with strong investment capabilities.

  Tens of billions of dollars in investment, even if only one percent returns, that's still tens of billions of dollars in profit, comparable to the total economic output of some small provinces domestically.

  Zhang Jun thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it just an investment? One day I'll give you some pointers and guarantee that your level will soar."

  "You can't die from not bragging." Shangguan Meixue laughed and paused for a moment, "As for that batch of gems, when do you plan on taking them away?"

  "In a few days, after I've finished dealing with things here, I'll be shipping out." said Zhang Jun.

  The two of them chatted until the second half of the night, and only when Shangguan Meixue felt tired did she return to her room to rest. Zhang Jun simply booked a room in the hotel, and the two rested together.

  As Shangguan Meixue fell into a deep sleep, Zhang Jun sat beside her, gazing at her. The way this woman slept was very ladylike, exposing perfect curves that made Zhang Jun reluctant to look away.

  In the second half of the night, Zhang Junqiang endured his desire and did not bother Guan Meixue, but instead practiced internal energy in his room until 5 o'clock in the morning before going to bed for a short while.

  The next day, after having breakfast together, they each went about their own business and parted ways, leaving each other with their phone numbers.

  Zhang Jun was taken away by Tong Haichuan, and the two drove for more than two hours to reach Tianyun County in Kyoto. Although Tianyun County belongs to Kyoto, it is located in a remote area, and its economic development level can only be said to be general in the eastern region.

  In recent years, Tianyun County has been vigorously developing real estate, and the old county town has been almost completely demolished. It's like a new look every day. Some people left the county town for half a year, and when they came back, they couldn't recognize their homes anymore.

  The car arrived in Tianyun County, and Zhang Jun saw that both sides of the road were lined with high-rise buildings, stretching up to the sky and as far as the eye could see. He was slightly stunned and asked Tong Haichuan: "Old Tong, how many people are there in Tianyun County? How did it develop so fiercely?"

  Tong Haichuan sneered, "You've also noticed? The population of Tianyun County is less than 5 million, with over 3 million in the urban area. But the real estate development in the county town has been booming, with at least 400,000 suites developed since five years ago!"

  Zhang Junyi was stunned and said: "Four hundred thousand sets? So many houses can accommodate at least one million people, right? Moreover, there are also rural households and those who do not lack housing."

  "Yes, I have reported on this before and it has caught the attention of relevant departments in Kyoto City. However, real estate development is a major means for local governments to increase their finances, so they are reluctant to give it up and are desperately developing. As long as there is development, they can sell land and make money." Tong Haichuan shook his head, "So many houses, how can they all be sold?"

  Zhang Jun was too lazy to care about such things. He asked: "Old Tong, tell me something about that deputy county magistrate and his son."

  "The vice county magistrate of Tianyun County is named Zhou Ba, this person is extremely skilled in the art of politics and has a very strong wrist. It's said that his background is also very solid, he's a hot candidate for the next county magistrate position. Zhou Ba's son is named Zhou Ziqiang, he's only 35 years old but has already been involved in real estate development for nearly ten years, the 'Qianglong Real Estate Development Company' he founded has assets of up to three billion, truly a rich and powerful man."

  He emphasized again: "Because his son has money, Zhou Bao is a very clean person, and his buttocks are actually clean."

  Zhang Jun sneered: "Clean? Do you think Zhou Ziqiang's tens of billions of assets were earned through what?"

  Tong Haichuan said: "That's for sure, even if Zhou Ba didn't intervene, the people below would still give Zhou Ziqiang a green light. The judicial administration and other departments will inevitably give him face, making it easy to do things all the way through, such as acquiring land, getting bank loans, and handling various development procedures, which are much easier than others."

  Unconsciously, the car drove into a residential building and finally walked into the corridor of Unit 1 on the first floor. The construction quality of this residential building was obviously not up to standard, and Zhang Jun found that there were multiple cracks in the corner of the wall, obvious signs of dampness and mold on the ceiling, and large pieces of ceramic tiles falling off.

  "He shook his head and said, 'This house was built too poorly.'"

  Tong Haichuan sneered, "This is still considered good. Some neighborhoods don't even have anyone brave enough to live there." As he spoke, his face revealed a hint of sorrow, "This location used to be where that elderly couple lived, now it's been covered with buildings."

  Zhang Jun took out a cigarette and handed one to Tong Haichuan. He lit it lightly and fell silent.

  Tong Haichuan took a deep breath and said, "I also know that this case may be difficult to investigate, but I just can't accept it!"

  Zhang Jun slowly paced back and forth for a while, then he walked into the elevator and didn't let Tong Haichuan follow. The elevator creaked and groaned as it descended into the underground storage room passageway.

  The dimly lit environment was filled with a pungent musty smell, and the passageway on both sides was lined with small iron gates. He walked slowly, his eyes carefully observing the surroundings, hoping to discover any anomalies through his intuition.

  However, he was disappointed and looked around but did not find anything. Ten minutes later, when he was about to leave, his eyes were attracted by a lump of cement on the concrete wall.

  The wall surface should be flat, but this is not common. He walked closer and found that under the cement lump was a small piece of broken finger bone, only half the size of a fingernail.

  He could tell at a glance that it was a phalange because he was too familiar with the human body structure. Moreover, when he looked through the phalanges, his left eye faintly saw a secondary image.

  It was a pitch-black early morning, and the old couple in the house had already fallen asleep. A black shadow skillfully opened the door with iron wire, slipped into the room, and stealthily turned on the gas, disabling the safety alarm before quietly leaving.

  Before long, the old couple woke up with a suffocating feeling. They seemed to realize that something was wrong, but they felt weak all over and lost their ability to act on their own, unable to do anything but wait for death.

  The old man was obviously a man of strong will, he put his little finger into his mouth and bit it hard, trying to use this method to wake himself up and save his wife.

  Unfortunately, he failed and a small finger was bitten off. He still couldn't stand up. Soon, the old couple died together, their eyes frozen in death.
