Reborn As Super Heiress

In the vast mahjong room, there was only one mahjong table, seated on each side was a man, and next to each man stood a young woman with an alluring figure.

The man with a somewhat gaunt build, high cheekbones, and an intimidating appearance sitting in the western position was none other than Brother Hao’s associate, Brother De, originally named Lei De.

At this moment, he was dressed in Tang Dynasty attire, one hand fiddling with the Snow Peak of the young lady beside him, and with the other grasping a mahjong tile, hesitating to play when suddenly he heard Brother Hao shouting outside the door, causing him to frown and his face to darken instantly.

With a stronger grip from his hand, the young woman seemed to be in pain, her face slightly distorted, and involuntarily let out a soft cry.

Noticing Brother De’s gaze seemingly glance at her, the young woman’s heart tightened, hurriedly biting her lip to suppress the urge to cry out in pain, forcing herself to endure.

Lei De had originated from the entertainment venues, years ago in Guangcheng due to an accident, he saved the life of a gangland boss, thus instantly elevating from a lowly thug to the boss’s favored protege.

The boss found him congenial, slowly beginning to teach him the pathways and rules of the criminal underworld, and by the time of the boss’s death, Lei De had a considerable number of henchmen under his command.

Afterward, he returned to Luohua County to start anew, with the support of his underlings and the skills taught by the boss, Lei De used unconventional means to suppress competitors, quickly making a name for himself in Luohua County.

And at this time, his sister caught the eye of LuoHua County Public Security Bureau Director, Ye Yuhai, and became his mistress.

Thus, with Ye Yuhai’s protection, Lei De’s influence soared, completely dominating Luohua County, his reputation growing increasingly prominent.

In almost all of Luohua County, mentioning the name ”Brother De” would invoke fear, and people encountering those connected with Brother De would make a detour.

Some even scare children with ”Be obedient or Brother De might take you away” when they cry or misbehave.

Because of this, Lei De became increasingly arrogant, boldly expanding his operations across Luohua County over a few years, developing numerous enterprises.

This time, he set his sights on Luohua County’s real estate.

Having spent many years in Guangcheng, he naturally knew that his previous ventures were minor affairs, barely profitable, whereas real estate held greater potential and efficiency for generating significant wealth.

Yet, in the realm of real estate, he was indeed a novice, so he could only discuss his ideas with his brother-in-law Ye Yuhai.

Unexpectedly, upon discussing it, the two quickly hit it off.

Ye Yuhai mentioned he just heard that Luohua County was planning urban renewal, likely upgrading to a prefecture-level city within the next five years, during which real estate would be developed heavily as a key metric of a prefecture-level city.

Next, the government planned significant actions, with several plots of land in the West City being auctioned off.

Once the land was secured, the rest would be straightforward, being unfamiliar with real estate didn’t matter, they could simply outsource to a construction company, and not worry about the other details.

The challenge was securing the qualifications to participate in the land auction, even if they registered a real estate shell company now, they couldn’t compete with established real estate firms based on valid performance, the only way was to go through connections and directly acquire land from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Going through connections necessitated finding the right channels, hence under Ye Yuhai’s matchmaking, Lei De successfully arranged a meeting with Jian Feng, Deputy Director of the Luohua County Industrial and Commercial Bureau responsible for the West City land auction, discreetly offering money at the mahjong table.

Having played mahjong all night, Deputy Director Jian seemed to be in great spirits after winning money, taking the opportunity to subtly bring up the matter of obtaining auction qualifications for the West City land.

Seeing Jian Feng about to commit to helping secure the auction qualification, unexpectedly, one of his underlings barged in.

This enraged Brother De, a shadow flashing in his eyes, his gaze falling upon Brother Hao who rolled into the mahjong room, observing his right arm hanging limply on his shoulder, his brow furrowing instantly, he spoke coldly:

”Why are you yelling like a banshee so early in the morning? Don’t have any discipline? Can’t you see I’m busy here? What happened to your arm?”

Brother Hao’s gaze skimmed over Jian Feng, Ye Yuhai, and Boss Jiang’s faces, noticing that none directed their attention to him, cautiously approached, whispering in Brother De’s ear.

Not even finishing his words, Brother De slammed the table, exclaiming loudly:

”What, heavens above, did this person lose his mind, daring to defecate on my head!”

Brother Hao appeared even more aggrieved, silently standing aside awaiting Brother De’s orders.

Witnessing Lei De’s fury, the other three at the table grew curious, prompting Jian Feng to ask:

”What happened?”

Lei De hesitated for a moment, instinctively raising his head to glance at Jian Feng, seeing no displeasure on his face, he finally spoke:

”Someone is causing trouble at my tea plantation, reportedly a skilled fighter, injuring several batches of my men, and boldly threatening to settle accounts with me.”

Lei De’s expression was terrifyingly ominous, having been in Luohua County for years, no one had ever dared blatantly challenge his authority.

Ye Yuhai didn’t seem to take the matter to heart, nonchalantly remarked:

”Such attention-seeking riffraff, just capture them outright, no need for you to deal with it?”

Jian Feng agreed, yet upon reflection, still casually turned his head to ask Brother Hao standing nearby:

”Do you know where this person is from?”

”I’m not sure, never seen him in Xiakan Village, unfamiliar face... However, I overheard him chatting with his companion in Mandarin, probably an outsider.”

Brother Hao thought for a moment, then added: ”This person is quite arrogant, saying I amount to nothing, and threatening that Brother De will regret being born into this world, seems pretty confident.”

Upon hearing this, Lei De’s anger flared, abandoning the mahjong and the woman, flung the yao ji tile from his hand, promptly stood up from his seat:

”Let’s go, accompany me to meet this scoundrel, I really want to see how he’ll make me regret coming into this world!”

Ye Yuhai and Jian Feng exchanged glances, both also stood up.

”So what do you think, Director Jian, shall we also go join the fun?” Ye Yuhai asked with a smile.

Jian Feng raised his eyebrows noncommittally, yet his eyes clearly filled with interest and curiosity:

”Sure, coincidentally it’s a boring weekend, free entertainment, I’ll take it as killing time.”
