The World's Richest Man: Start with the Daily Intelligence System

193: Chapter 193 Returning to ShenghaiLin Chao replied, ”I’ve already spread the word that ’Brother Tian Tian ran off with the money.’ The news spread like wildfire to the ears of the gang boss, Brother Shuang. Upon hearing this, Brother Shuang was fuming and is now conducting a City Name-wide manhunt for him.”

Hearing this, a cold sneer curled Zhang Wei’s lips. He had already made his calculations; agents from the Pretty Country had quietly arrived in T City Name, and they were strangers to the Great Qi Gang. Zhang Wei decided to beat them at their own game, subtly setting the stage so these two forces would unknowingly tear into each other, while he sat back and reaped the benefits.

”Lin Chao, listen well.” Zhang Wei’s voice was low and firm. ”I want you to act according to this plan...” He detailed his scheme to Lin Chao, explaining every detail with absolute clarity.

”Additionally, I’m leaving the management of the T City Name properties to you,” Zhang Wei continued. ”I have some information gathered in T City Name as well; go ahead and handle that too.”

After listening, Lin Chao couldn’t help but admire Zhang Wei’s strategy to the point of total devotion. He quickly replied, ”Don’t worry, Brother Zhang, I’ll definitely get it done perfectly.”

Having finished his instructions, Zhang Wei hung up the phone. He turned and got into the Tang family’s private car with Tang Yi, slowly driving toward the City Name center. Outside the window, the City Name lights were brilliant.

After returning to City Name, Zhang Wei fully embraced a leisurely life of retirement. Every day he woke up to enjoy fine food, napped whenever he felt tired, played with Nut when bored, and occasionally took An Xiaoxi out to enjoy some pleasant times.

During these peaceful days, Lin Chao called frequently to report on the situation in T City Name.

”Brother Zhang, there’s a new development in T City Name,” Lin Chao’s voice came through the phone. ”The Great Qi Gang had a shootout with those Pretty Country people on Fuxing South Road; the scene was extremely chaotic. Those foreigners pulled out guns and shot several Great Qi Gang lackeys on the spot. When Brother Shuang saw his men die, he immediately fought back and hacked a foreigner to death. Blood flowed like a river, and even the police were alerted.”

Zhang Wei sighed softly and said, ”Since it involves the Pretty Country, the pressure on the Wawa police will be immense.”

”Yeah, in the end, Brother Shuang was arrested by the police, supposedly to give the Pretty Country an explanation,” Lin Chao said.

”What about Brother Tian Tian? How is he?” Zhang Wei asked.

”Brother Tian Tian suffered quite a bit in F City Name. After finally being released, he rushed back to T City Name immediately, wanting to find Brother Shuang to seek revenge. But when he returned to the gang, Brother Shuang had already been taken away by the police. The lackeys mistakenly thought he was the one behind the shootout, and in their rage, they actually hacked him to death.”

Zhang Wei was silent for a moment, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He slowly said, ”Lin Chao, your great grudge has finally been avenged.”

”Brother Zhang, this is all thanks to you. Back then, to avenge my older brother and younger sister, I set up that luxury mansion in Mingguan and that Ferrari. Now that the grudge is settled, I should return them all to you.” Lin Chao’s voice was full of gratitude.

Zhang Wei smiled and said, ”I will never take back something I’ve given away. I also thank you for helping me rescue Tang Yi. From now on, the T City Name properties will remain under your management. The doors of City Name are always open to you; feel free to visit me anytime.”

Lin Chao took a deep breath and said slowly, ”Brother Zhang, since Brother Shuang was arrested, those rival gangs that have been watching like sharks smelling blood have pounced to carve up the Great Qi Gang’s territory. The police haven’t been idle either, conducting overnight raids on the Great Qi Gang’s properties. The Tianlongren Entertainment Club, Night Color Bar, and other properties transferred to our name were also checked. Fortunately, you had the foresight to tell me to immediately cut off those gray businesses, so the police action didn’t affect us much. We can do business openly and honestly from now on.”

He paused and continued, ”Two days ago, I went to Wufeng and found that earring. I also bought back those important documents over at the Military Dependents’ Village. As for the pipa you entrusted me with, I’ve settled that as well.”

A proud smile appeared on Lin Chao’s face, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes as he continued slowly, ”I have a friend who happens to be going to City Name, so I’ve asked her to bring these things to you. By my count, they should reach your hands in a day or two.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei’s brow smoothed out slightly, and a faint smile touched the corner of his mouth. He responded softly, ”Then I’ll have to trouble you, Lin Chao.”

Lin Chao smiled and replied in a relaxed tone, ”Why are we being so polite? We’re on the same side.”

After hanging up, Zhang Wei gently set down his phone and turned his gaze out the window, his expression deep. Indeed, just as the information provided by the system today indicated, the agents sent by the Pretty Country to T City Name suffered heavy losses and retreated in disgrace. He let out a soft breath, feeling a sense of relief in his heart, and whispered to himself, ”Safe for now.”

He began to make plans. Once the items Lin Chao sent to City Name arrived, it would be time for a trip to the Shenghai Museum.

A few days ago, Zhang Wei had specifically ordered a ground-penetrating metal detector on Taobao. The courier had just delivered it today, and he couldn’t wait to tear open the package. Following the steps in the manual, he began assembling the seemingly complex parts one by one.

As soon as An Xiaoxi opened the door, her eyes were drawn to this strange-looking contraption. One end was circular, looking a bit like a household vacuum cleaner but clearly different, exuding a mysterious sense of technology. Her curiosity was instantly ignited, and she couldn’t help but lean in for a closer look.

She snatched it from Zhang Wei’s hands and turned it over to examine it. She gently pressed the power switch; with a soft ”click” and the glow of a green light, the machine started up. An Xiaoxi excitedly brought it near the coffee table. Suddenly, the machine emitted a piercing alarm, startling her into quickly moving it away.

”Wow, this thing really is a metal detector!” An Xiaoxi exclaimed in surprise. ”Zhang Wei, what exactly did you buy this for?”

Zhang Wei smiled slightly and said mysteriously, ”Little girl, if you’re free this afternoon, let’s go out and play to test the power of this metal detector.”

”Okay, sounds like fun!” An Xiaoxi’s eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, ”Wait for this young lady for a moment!” Before her voice had even faded, she had already dashed into her room like a whirlwind.

After driving for over two hours, the two arrived at the seaside. The winter wind at the coast was biting, scraping against the skin like a knife, making one couldn’t help but shiver.

”It’s so cold, Zhang Wei. How long are we staying? I already want to go back,” An Xiaoxi complained, shrinking her neck into her collar.

Zhang Wei, however, seemed full of enthusiasm. He patted the metal detector in his hand and said, ”Didn’t you want to see how this machine works? Come and look!”
