Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

"Mr. Chen..." Mr. Mao wanted to say something more.

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say anything more. You can't learn my skills! But there are still many people in this world who have their own tricks up their sleeves. If you're willing to spend money, you might be able to meet one or two! That's all I have to say. Farewell!"

After saying that, Chen Jiajun ignored the two and went straight back to the nearby village to find an inn to stay in.

Dealing with a vengeful ghost of Chu Renmei's caliber exhausted Chen Jiajun.

……

In another time and space, in Hong Kong, in Lu Yongyu's office.

As instructed, Lao E placed the intelligence organization's information on Lu Yongyu's desk.

Lu Yongyu's expression turned quite grim after reading the documents.

After all, Chen Jiajun had only been missing for a short time, yet the Lu family was already making moves, which showed that they didn't take Lu Yongyu, the official heir, seriously.

Lu Yongyu suppressed his anger and asked, "When is Ah Jun coming back?"

Old Evil shook his head and said, "The boss is currently... he's tied up with something else and can't come back for the time being! He told me to tell you to try your best to hold off the Lu family brothers."

Because of Lu Yongyu's influence, Lu Hantao had long since stopped interfering in affairs.

He's now just waiting for Lu Yongyu and Chen Jiajun to have two more children, and then he'll have one of the children change their surname to Lu.

Therefore, Lu Hantao wholeheartedly agreed to Lu Yongyu inheriting the Lu family business.

But others thought differently.

Lujia Village is a very feudal village that retains the idea of ​​clan.

In their understanding, women are not qualified to inherit the family business, and they are not even qualified to enter the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

This kind of thinking is deeply ingrained and cannot be changed overnight.

But the Lu family produced an anomaly: Lu Yongyu.

Not only is he very good at business, but he has also managed to get close to a powerful patron, Chen Jiajun.

That's why he was able to take over most of the Lu family's business.

It was precisely because of the presence of Chen Jiajun, the big boss, that the Lu family dared not act rashly.

The consequences of acting rashly are already evident to the Lu family; for example, Lu Jinqiang and others were directly expelled from the core of the Lu family.

But now, rumors have spread far and wide.

Lu Yongyu's golden thigh has disappeared!
The terrifying wealth accumulated by the Lu Guo Group and the Si Hai Group over the years is enough to make these people restless.

In particular, Lu Yongfu and his brothers had been eagerly waiting for this moment.

"Brother Qiang, let's do it!" Lu Yongfu said to Lu Jinqiang, "This originally belonged to our Lu family!"

Lu Yongquan added, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, things change. We can't let an outsider interfere in the Lu family's affairs!"

Lu Jianbo chimed in, "Yes, Brother Qiang, we originally had a share in the Lu Guo Group!"

Lu Jinqiang, smoking a cigarette, said without any emotion, "Who...were you acting on my orders?"

Upon hearing Lu Jinqiang's words, everyone's expression immediately changed.

Lu Yongfu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't worry about all that. Just say whether you're going to follow or not!"

Lu Jinqiang said calmly, "Follow? What do you mean, follow? Do you really think that just because Chen Jiajun has disappeared, you people can jump on stage?"

Unlike his brothers, Lu Jinqiang owns a building materials company. Over the years, he has contracted the building materials business of Lu Guo Group and has even expanded his business into Huazi Group.

Even setting aside his connection to the Lu family, he was doing quite well in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

It was only after joining the Chinese Chamber of Commerce that he realized how far-reaching Chen Jiajun's influence was.

It's not something a bunch of clowns can shake.

Moreover, Chen Jiajun has only disappeared; no one has said he is dead.

What if Chen Jiajun comes back?
It was only because Lu Hantao, their father-in-law, personally pleaded for them back then that they escaped unscathed.

Otherwise, Chen Jiajun would have drowned him that very day. Why is he doing this again?
Lu Yongfu snorted coldly and said, "Brother Qiang, since that's how it is, then we won't say anything more. But we're brothers, so we hope you won't stop us!"

After saying that, the three brothers turned around and left Lu Jinqiang's house.

After they left, Lu Jinqiang picked up the phone and dialed a number: "A Yuan, are you free? Come over and chat for a bit?"

……

On the other hand, after leaving Huangshan Village, Chen Jiajun quickly arrived at Hong Kong Island and then transferred to a car to go directly to Kwun Tong.

According to the location provided by Lin Fengqiao, his junior apprentice is in a village in Kwun Tong.

The timeline at this point should still be in the 1980s.

The Kwun Tong area is largely undeveloped, let alone the even more remote Tseung Kwan O area.

When Chen Jiajun arrived at the village that Lin Fengqiao had mentioned, he was truly taken aback.

Because this place seemed to have been abandoned, with moss and weeds growing all over the road.

Upon entering the main gate, Chen Jiajun saw a towering building.

The origin of this type of housing estate can be traced back to the great fire in the Shek Kip Mei squatter area.

The Hong Kong government built these houses because the disaster victims had nowhere to live.

However, it didn't have much to do with the disaster victims afterwards, as a large amount of land in Hong Kong, where land is extremely valuable, was developed.

The farmers whose land was expropriated moved into these village houses.

However, Kwun Tong District is quite remote, and there are very few people who can afford to live in the public housing estates.

This large housing estate is now practically abandoned.

Chen Jiajun walked to the door and saw an old man sleeping in the security room.

Chen Jiajun knocked on the window of the security room, waking the old man.

"Young man, what are you doing here?" The old man seemed surprised to see a stranger. "Looking for someone?"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Uncle, I'm here to see Uncle You, Chen You."

"Ah, You!" The old man immediately smiled. "He's sleeping in the food stalls behind here! Shall I take you to find him?"

"Will this be troublesome?" Chen Jiajun asked somewhat embarrassedly.

The old man in front of me seemed a little too enthusiastic.

The old man waved his hand and said, "No trouble at all, no trouble at all. We don't have many people coming here!"

He then enthusiastically led Chen Jiajun through the gate of the housing estate.

There are still some shops on the ground floor of the housing estate, including a general store, a food stall, and a Chinese medicine shop.

As for clothing stores, they have all closed down, and the entire housing estate presents an extremely desolate atmosphere.

Soon the old man led Chen Jiajun to the food stall.

It wasn't mealtime, and the food stalls weren't open.

The old man knocked on the door several times, finally getting a response: "Ayou, Ayou! Someone's looking for you!"

"What the heck! Who's looking for me?!" At that moment, a man in a bathrobe, still half asleep, pushed open the door and came out, saying impatiently, "The food stall isn't open! Come back after mealtime!"

The old man smiled and pointed to Chen Jiajun beside him, saying, "This young man is looking for you!"

"Who are you?" Chen You rubbed his eyes before he could see Chen Jiajun clearly, but he didn't recognize Chen Jiajun, so he asked directly.

Chen Jiajun smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Jiu sent me here!"

"Uncle Nine?" Chen You's expression immediately changed: "Where is he?"

"I've gone back to my hometown!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile. "I came from there first."

Chen You thought for a moment, then stepped aside and said, "Please come in first, Uncle Yan. Thank you for your help!"

Uncle Yan nodded, then turned and left.

When Chen Jiajun entered the store, he found that there was oil and smoke everywhere, and even the tables were covered with a thick layer of it.

A deck chair was placed in the middle of the shop, obviously Chen You had just slept there.

After entering, Chen You handed Chen Jiajun a bottle of beer and said, "You have a resentful aura about you. Did you encounter something evil before?"

"When I passed through Huangshan Village, I got entangled with some evil spirit! But luckily, I managed to seal it away again." Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Of course, not using your Xuanmen methods, but just using something to appease the resentment."

Chen You nodded: "No wonder. I could tell you hadn't even entered the first stage; you couldn't possibly handle a ghost of this level. Tell me, why did your senior brother send you to find me?" Chen Jiajun sighed and said, "You should be able to tell I'm not from this world, right?"

"Huh?" Chen You was stunned for a moment, then started calculating with his fingers for a while, and then said with a surprised look, "This is really strange. This is the first time I've ever seen someone like you."

“That’s what your senior brother said too!” Chen Jiajun said helplessly, spreading his hands. “I met an old lady before who told me to go find your senior brother, and then your senior brother told me to come find you. I’ve already gone all the way around Hong Kong.”

Chen You said with some confusion, "Your problem... my senior brother should be able to solve it, right? Why are you coming to me?"

Chen Jiajun could only say, "Your senior brother is seriously ill and has long been on his deathbed. He had a lot of trouble dealing with a vengeful ghost created by evil magic on the island. He is not capable of helping me now!"

"What?" Chen You immediately stood up, then sat down again with a gloomy face and sighed, "That's right, few people like us have a good ending."

Chen Jiajun tentatively asked, "Can you help me?"

“Sure, I need your birth date and time, as well as the era you lived in!” Chen You nodded and then said to Chen Jiajun.

Upon hearing Chen You's affirmative answer, Chen Jiajun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, someone can give a definite answer.

So he readily gave his birth date and time.

After listening, Chen You took out a thick book and began to search through it.

He quickly looked at Chen Jiajun with a strange expression and said, "So, at this time, you should only be a teenager?"

"Hmm...that makes sense." Chen Jiajun nodded.

Chen You slammed the book shut and said with a speechless expression, "This is troublesome!"

Chen Jiajun frowned immediately and asked, "What's the trouble?"

"Tell me about how you came to be in this world," Chen You said to Chen Jiajun after a moment of silence.

Chen Jiajun dared not delay and could only recount how he was sent to the walled city and the events that occurred along the way.

Finally, Chen Jiajun added, "Your senior brother seems to know that old woman from the fortress. Do you know her?"

Chen You shook his head and said, "I don't know you, but your situation... is very troublesome! Let me cast a divination for you first."

As he spoke, Chen You took out a compass and began chanting incantations.

After a moment, Chen You gave a wry smile and said, "This is a big problem. You'll have to wait more than ten years to go back!"

"More than ten years?" Chen Jiajun immediately bristled: "Isn't that nonsense?"

Chen You said with some helplessness, "I can only send you back when the nine stars align!"

Chen Jiajun was immediately at a loss: "Isn't there any other way?"

Chen You hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's not impossible, but... the price would be very high!"

"How big?" Chen Jiajun asked, frowning.

"It's hard to say right now. You need to give me some time to investigate." Chen You said, feeling a chill run down his spine. "I've never seen anything like this before!"

"Okay, I'll stay here for now!" Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Is there a place to rent here?"

Chen You immediately gave a strange look and asked, "You want to stay here?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Jiajun was taken aback at first, then realized something and said with a grim expression, "Really?"

Chen You smiled and said, "What's so strange about it? There's something wrong with this place from the start, otherwise why would I be guarding it?"

Chen Jiajun ignored Chen You and walked straight out of the shop.

Suddenly, the world before Chen Jiajun's eyes changed completely.

If what he saw of the village was merely its dilapidated state...

But now... it's a scene of decay.

The whole world was gray, and ashes-like things kept drifting in the sky.

The housing estate building was shrouded in a cloud of black smoke, from which wails could be heard.

The building's walls are covered with structures that resemble flesh and blood, and they seem to pulsate as if they are breathing.

The weeds and moss that used to be there have completely turned into a winding, barbed mess.

Chen You walked out of the food stall and looked at Chen Jiajun curiously, saying, "Your spiritual eye is quite interesting; it doesn't seem to be a power that belongs to you!"

Chen Jiajun said irritably, "Your senior brother said I'm completely clueless. How could I have survived until now without relying on other people's strength? But... why are you living in a place like this?"

Chen You smiled and said, "This is a seal. My duty is to guard what's inside and prevent it from escaping and harming people."

"A seal?" Chen Jiajun looked at Chen You with a surprised expression.

Chen You shook his head, seemingly unwilling to say more, but changed the subject, saying, "It's not a big problem for you to live here, just don't keep using your spiritual eyes to look around! The things inside are all suppressed by the seal, and they won't attack you unless you actively provoke them! After all, your matter needs some time to resolve."

"How long will it take?" Chen Jiajun asked.

Chen You shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, maybe two or three days, maybe a week!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Chen Jiajun nodded.

So, Chen You took Chen Jiajun to find Uncle Yan, and they rented a room next to Chen You's house.

"This room is nice!"

After Uncle Yan opened the room, Chen Jiajun glanced at it and said.

Chen You sneered and said, "There's naturally no problem with the floor I live on, but as for the other floors, that's hard to say!"

"Damn it!" Chen Jiajun gave Chen You the middle finger and then headed towards the room.

At this moment, Chen You stopped Chen Jiajun, then took out three incense sticks, lit them, and said, "Do you know what it means to greet people when you enter a house? We're going to be neighbors, so let's be polite."

Chen Jiajun readily agreed, accepted the incense from Chen You, and bowed in the surroundings.

Chen You seemed to have noticed something, and then said to Chen Jiajun, "Hey... why do you have such a strong murderous aura? What were you doing in the other world? Were you a gang leader or an assassin?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Guess?"

"Tsk, you're not simple, kid!" Chen You nodded and said, "It saves me trouble; ordinary little things wouldn't dare come near you!"

Chen Jiajun asked curiously, "What exactly do you mean by 'evil aura'? It seems to be able to ward off evil spirits?"

Chen You said calmly, "Someone like you who lives on the edge of a knife is terrifying even to gods and ghosts! If you were from my world, you wouldn't be able to get a good reincarnation in your next life!"

"Let's not talk about that. If you need anything, just tell Uncle Yan and he'll take you to buy it. You can stay here for now!"

Chen Jiajun nodded and grinned as he looked into the room.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the whole house seemed much cleaner.

Chen You looked speechless and turned to leave Chen Jiajun's rented place.

……

Another time and space in Hong Kong, the Luk Mansion in the New Territories.

After learning about this, Lu Yongyu immediately went to find his father, Lu Hantao.

Lu Hantao's hair is now gray, and he needs a cane to move around.

However, he seems to be in good spirits and should be able to enjoy himself for a while longer.

Seeing his daughter arrive, Lu Hantao asked with some surprise, "What brings you here today?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Yongyu said to Lu Hantao, "Dad, you've heard all the rumors going around, haven't you?"

"They say that Chen Jiajun is going to fall!" Lu Hantao nodded, then gave a cold smile. "That kid's influence is far more than what they see. But where is Chen Jiajun? Why hasn't he shown up yet? Could it be that he's planning to..."

Lu Yongyu shook his head and said, "No, Dad, Ah Jun is indeed tied up with something and may not be able to come back to Hong Kong for a while!"
"But while Ah Jun was away from Hong Kong, many people started to get restless! For example, our family..."

Upon hearing Lu Yongyu's words, a glint of light flashed in Lu Hantao's cloudy old eyes: "Who's so reckless?"

Lu Yongyu sighed and said, "What do you think?"

After listening, Lu Hantao shook his head and said, "These bastards, I can save them once, but I can't necessarily save them a second time!"

Lu Hantao's face was somewhat grim, and he and his daughter remained silent.

This kind of situation is the most difficult to handle.

But then I thought, their handling of the situation would be better than Chen Jiajun's handling of it after he returned. Whatever the outcome, given Lu Yongyu's relationship with Chen Jiajun, he'd have to accept it reluctantly.

But if this matter isn't over by the time he returns, then... people will definitely die! (End of Chapter)
