Chapter 1074 - 1074: Persuade!
Li family
“Ah, it’s not me. Don’t come looking for me!” A scream suddenly rang out in the house.
Then, a female voice shouted in panic, ” Young Master, wake up, wake up!
Then, a young man in his twenties opened his eyes. At first, he was fierce, and then he looked around in panic.
After realizing that this was his room and there was nothing unusual, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
It was indeed a nightmare!
It was just that he had been tortured by nightmares for a few days in a row, causing him to be in a bad mood.
The nightmares he had were all about his friend taking his life!
Seeing that the young master had completely woken up, the girl who was wearing her undergarment asked with concern, ” Young Master, what’s wrong with you recently? Is there something on your mind? Otherwise, why have you been having nightmares for the past few days?’
At this point, her eyes suddenly widened as if she had thought of something. She immediately said, ” Young Master, are you possessed? Do you want to find a
Taoist priest to take a look?”
Li Baoquan was in a very bad mood now. When he heard that, his mood became even worse.
He knew that the reason for his nightmares these past few days was that he had done something wrong.
If the things he had done were found out, then he would not be able to establish a foothold in Qingshan City.
Therefore, he immediately shouted at the woman, ” What are you looking for?
You’re the one who’s possessed? Get lost!’
The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly took her clothes and wrapped them around herself before leaving.
It was for the sake of a better life in the future. Otherwise, it was very likely that she would be beaten out of the house.
After the woman walked out, Li Baoquan sat on the bed dejectedly. He rubbed his forehead with a headache and sighed softly, ” Brother Chen, I’m sorry. I had no choice! That person promised me that he wouldn’t take your life. He would only lock you up in prison for three to five years.”
Then, he sat on the bed in a daze, thinking about something.
After an unknown period of time, he seemed to have heard the butler’s call.
He asked, ” What is it?
The butler replied, ” Young Master, Chen Shanbiao from the Chen Family is here to visit!
Hearing that it was Chen Yongfei’s father, Li Baoquan rubbed his aching head again and said, ” Alright, I understand. You go down first. I’ll be out in a while!’
“Yes, Young Master!’
After the butler left, Li Baoquan leaned against the headboard for a while, frowning as if he was thinking deeply.
He knew very well why Chen Shanbiao was here.
Wasn’t it because of his son Chen Yongfei?
However, he couldn’t release this person just because he wanted to.
Ever since he agreed to Lord Zhou’s conditions, he had no way out.
Therefore, he had no choice but to see this to the end. Otherwise, sigh..
After calming himself down, Li Baoquan went out to see Chen Shanbiao.
When he saw Chen Shanbiao, Li Baoquan’s expression turned ugly again. He said coldly, ” Uncle Chen, have you thought about how to compensate me for the loss of my treasure?
Chen Shanbiao’s expression was similarly ugly. However, before he could say anything, Li Baoquan continued, ” Or rather, have you already considered the matter of me taking over the Gold Origin Auction House?
Even a fool would know what he meant. He wanted the Gold Origin Auction House.
When Chen Shanbiao heard this, his expression turned extremely ugly. ” I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint Young Master Li! I can’t make the decision. Because the auction house is no longer with the Chen family, and our Chen family is only managing it!’
Li Baoquan was not angry. He only said very indifferently, ” Then it seems that you are prepared to pay 300,000 taels of silver as compensation?
At this point, he paused and looked at Chen Shanbiao with a sharp and suspicious gaze. He said sharply, ” Since you said that the Golden Origin Auction House is not yours and that your Chen Family is only managing it for someone else, then where did you get these 300,000 taels of silver? This Young Master has heard that apart from the Golden Origin Auction House, even the Chen Family’s old mansion is only worth a few tens of thousands of taels. Moreover, I also heard that because Uncle Chen offended Governor Zhou, most of the Chen Family’s money was used to compensate Governor Zhou.. So, Uncle Chen, what exactly are you using to compensate me?”
