Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Old Evil is no pushover.

Especially after learning that this matter was related to the Ether Society, he contacted Silva immediately.

After all, Silva was the one who used to handle things like dealing with the Ether Society.

"Hehehe, an old rival! You only dare to show your face because you know the boss isn't here?" Silva laughed after hearing this: "It's alright, I have a plan!"

The old man asked curiously, "What method?"

Silva chuckled and said, "The boss used to have a spy planted in the Etheric Society, but he hasn't shown his face in a long time. He's one of the people in charge of the Asian side!"

Old Evil's eyes lit up immediately: "Doesn't that mean we can find out what those guys are planning to do?"

“Then we’ll see if this guy knows anything.” Silva took out a satellite phone and dialed a number.

A moment later, Sean's voice came from the other end of the phone.

After Bai Lu took control of him, Chen Jiajun never used him.

Firstly, Ether is more likely to behave itself, so Chen Jiajun has no need to relentlessly pursue it.

After all, these rats of the Ether Society are too well hidden, making it quite difficult to wipe them out completely.

Secondly, keeping Sean as a thorn in their side ensures that Chen Jiajun will be informed immediately of any future actions Ether might take in Asia.

Although Chen Jiajun is not here now, Silva has a high enough position in Chen Jiajun's team that he can contact Sean directly.

“I need Ether’s actions in Hong Kong!” Silva said bluntly to Sean.

As a high-ranking member of the Ether Society, Sean was naturally aware of the plans being implemented in Hong Kong.

He didn't beat around the bush and told the whole story directly.

As Sean recounted his story, Silva's expression grew increasingly serious.

He then gave a wry smile and said, "Okay, I understand!"

Old Evil noticed that Silva's expression was off and asked curiously, "What happened?"

Silva sighed and said to the old evil man, "This is bad, we're in big trouble!"

The old man coldly asked Silva, "What plan can't be cracked?"

“They’re using an open strategy!” Silva clicked his tongue and said with a hint of helplessness.

From Sean, Silva learned that the Ether Society had actually allied with the Brotherhood, another of Chen Jiajun's rivals.

There was already a grudge between the two sides, and the Ether Society planned to use the Brotherhood's political resources to teach Chen Jiajun's men a lesson.

This is what Silva meant by a calculated, open strategy.

The Luk Kwok Group's development in the New Territories was originally a government incentive granted to Chan Ka-Chun and Fok Ying-Nan.

It's really upsetting that these people are using their positions as legislators to advocate for monopolistic practices within the government.

After all, the New Territories development is indeed dominated by the Luk Kwok Group, and if this were to be brought to the forefront, there would definitely be problems.

Moreover, the real estate developers will also acquire shares in Lu Guo Group, which is something that can no longer be stopped.

Next, the other party will definitely not resort to any more underhanded tactics, but will instead directly use their power to intimidate.

When Chen Jiajun is no longer in Hong Kong, the Lu Guo Group will have no choice but to compromise, since they can't fight city hall.

Upon hearing Silva's analysis, the old man's face immediately darkened: "Teacher, is there really no way we can do anything?"

"Lu Hantao did the right thing. All we can do now is stall for time. Hopefully, our boss can come back as soon as possible!"

After Lao E told the Lu family father and daughter and Lu Jinqiang the news, none of them looked very happy.

The current situation is clearly beyond their ability to handle.

Lu Hantao sighed and said, "Things are already like this, there's nothing we can do about it now! Ayu, if you really get ousted by the board of directors, don't do anything unnecessary, just wait for Ajun to come back!"

"But, Dad!" Lu Yongyu seemed somewhat unwilling.

Lu Jinqiang then added, "Ayu, you have to understand, this level of confrontation is beyond our ability to withstand!"

Lu Jinqiang initially thought it was a minor matter, but he never expected that there were so many grudges behind it.

Chen Jiajun was once locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Ether Society, and now he is also quite at odds with the Brotherhood. These are all extensions of what happened!
The only solution is to wait for Chen Jiajun to return.

Lu Yongyu had no choice but to nod, but he felt very aggrieved.

Time flies, and a week later...

The shareholders' meeting could not be delayed any longer, so Lu Yongyu had no choice but to come to the company.

This time, Lu Yongfu and his group arrived even before her. Sitting in their chairs, they looked at Lu Yongyu with a mocking expression and said, "Ayu, you should know that all these tricks you've pulled are useless, right? Did you catch that kid Apo too?"

Lu Yongyu said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Hmph, you think I don't know? Not only did you control your driver, you also captured Apo!" Lu Yongfu spread his hands and said, "But what's the use? It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot! You're courting death!"

“You…” Lu Yongyu stared fiercely at Lu Yongfu. For the first time, he felt that his cousin, whom he had grown up with, was so hateful.

If time could turn back, Lu Yongyu would definitely have Chen Jiajun kill these people!

Lu Yongfu sneered, "I love your look the most—hating me but unable to get rid of me! Isn't your man supposed to be so powerful? Let him take me down!"

Lu Yongyu gritted his teeth and stopped arguing with Lu Yongfu.

Soon the shareholders arrived one after another, and after Lu Yongyu finished explaining the profit situation for this quarter.

Lu Yongfu couldn't help but chime in: "The case of the death at the construction site last time led to the suspension of work at one of the group's construction sites for rectification. President Lu has not handled this matter well! If this continues, the group's cash flow will be challenged."

"As CEO, Lu Yongyu bears undeniable responsibility for this matter. Therefore, on behalf of the shareholders, I propose that Lu Yongyu be removed from his position as CEO of the Group!"

Upon hearing Lu Yongfu's words, Lu Yongyuan, who was standing to the side, was furious and clenched his fists, ready to hit someone.

But Lu Yongyu stopped him and shook his head.

Lu Yongyu was also very angry, but she had no way to deal with the situation.

Why? Because all the shareholders, big and small, have already sided with Lu Yongfu.
The other party has gone to great lengths to deal with the Lu Guo Group.

Lu Yongfu glanced smugly at everyone, then said loudly, "Now let's vote by raising our hands!"

As he spoke, he took the lead in raising his hand, his eyes scanning the crowd.

None of the shareholders dared to look Lu Yongyu in the eye, and only slowly raised their hands under Lu Yongfu's coercion.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yongfu smiled smugly: "Very good, more than half of the shareholders voted to remove Lu Yongyu from his position as CEO of the Group!"

After saying that, he looked at Lu Yongyu provocatively.

Lu Yongyu didn't say much, but stood up and said to everyone, "Very good, I will remember this day! I hope you won't regret it in the future! Brother Yuan, let's go!"

"Hmph!" Lu Yongfu sneered and said disdainfully, "You won't have the chance to make threats now!"

……

In another time and space, Chen Jiajun was staring blankly at the painting in front of him.

After all, it was quite a shock to his worldview for a painting to suddenly start talking.

Ghost Face said calmly, "If you're not going to say anything, I'm leaving!"

Chen Jiajun quickly said, "Wait, you... can you talk to us?"

"Hmph!" Ghost Face said irritably, "If it weren't for my disciple looking for me, I wouldn't bother with guys like you! Especially you, the one who disrupts the order of spacetime!"

Chen Jiajun looked shocked: "You knew?"

"I could tell at a glance!" Ghost Face said calmly, "You're being rejected by this world!"

Chen Jiajun asked in surprise, "This person... um, what's your name?"

"Just call me Ghost Face!" Although Ghost Face is just a painted face, its expressions are quite rich.

"Alright, Ghost Face!" Chen Jiajun quickly said, "Can you help me get back?"

"Sure! You don't belong to this world anyway, so helping you go back is like setting things right!" Ghost Face said with a sly smile. "But... what's in it for me?"

"What do you want?" Chen Jiajun immediately became alert.

After all, this thing in front of him was far too bizarre, even more so than the so-called "gods" Chen Jiajun had ever encountered. Chen Jiajun had to be wary of such a thing.

Ghost Face pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet. How about you consider it as you owing me a favor?"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Jiajun said, "Okay! But how will you ask me for this favor after I leave this world?" Ghost Face immediately burst into laughter: "You're indeed a clever man; you're trying to trick me into revealing information."

Ghost Face instantly saw through Chen Jiajun's plan, but Chen Jiajun wasn't embarrassed: "I was just curious!"

"Don't worry, I'll naturally come to you when I need this favor," Ghost Face said with a smile.

After a moment of silence, Chen Jiajun said to the masked man, "Deal!"

"Wait, what's wrong with you..." Chen You sensed something was amiss and wanted to say something to the ghost mask.

However, Ghost Face didn't want to say anything more to Chen You. Instead, he said to Chen Jiajun, "Alright, enough nonsense. Chen Jiajun, right? Take this painting and go back to where you came from!"

After saying that, Ghost Face froze on the drawing paper and stopped talking.

At the same time, Xiaobai waved to Chen Jiajun and Chen You and disappeared from their sight.

Chen You took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and then said to Chen Jiajun, "What do you think?"

"How can I tell?" Chen Jiajun snatched a cigarette from Chen You's pocket and said, "Whether this ghost mask is good or bad, I have to give it a try."

Chen You glanced at Chen Jiajun and said, "There might be a trap."

Chen Jiajun chuckled and said, "I've encountered far more dangerous things in my life. Some of them were even life-or-death situations! But I've overcome them all, so this kind of situation is nothing to me! Besides, you know I have the ability to protect myself."

Chen You sensed Chen Jiajun's immense self-confidence, so he stopped trying to persuade him and instead asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "If you come with me, what about the seal here? This ghostly face suddenly appeared in this village; who knows if it's a diversionary tactic?"

Chen You paused for a moment, then slowly nodded.

The safest way for Chen Jiajun to go back is to wait another ten years or so, until the nine stars align.

But Chen You knew that Chen Jiajun definitely couldn't wait that long.

Since Chen Jiajun had made his decision, he wouldn't try to persuade him any further.

After the two of them finished dealing with the situation, they were able to wake up Teacher Liu and the twin girls.

After explaining the situation to the twins, Teacher Liu apologized to them very sincerely.

It's clear that this Teacher Liu isn't the kind of hypocrite.

Although the two girls' minds were in a complete fog, they still had some awareness when they were possessed.

I overheard Chen Jiajun's conversation with Chen You.

Although it seems unbelievable, the two of them did indeed save them.

So after accepting Ms. Liu's apology, the twin girls decided to remain silent about the matter.

If this matter were to be exposed, regardless of whether it was Mr. Liu's own will, he would lose his current job and might even face imprisonment.

After the two sides communicated, they decided to act as if nothing had happened.

Chen You also gave a few people some items to ward off evil spirits and protect their homes, in order to prevent such things from happening again.

After taking care of these matters, Chen You finally had some free time.

Seeing Chen Jiajun packing his things, he said, "Come to my place tonight, I'll prepare a farewell drink for you."

"Okay!" Chen Jiajun smiled and nodded in agreement.

Although the two sides had not been in contact for very long, Chen Jiajun had come with a specific purpose.

However, the two of them get along very well, so they can be considered friends.

Although he knew he couldn't dissuade Chen Jiajun, Chen You still prepared a farewell feast.

The two old men drank until dawn.

Chen You finally couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep.

When he woke up, Chen Jiajun had already left.

Chen You sighed, got out of bed, and prepared the ingredients for today's meal.

Chen Jiajun had already boarded a bus and headed to Kowloon.

Holding the scroll, he found where he came from.

Sure enough, it was still that same wall, covered with all sorts of small advertisements.

Chen Jiajun took out the scroll and said to the ghost-faced man, "I've arrived. What's next?"

Then Ghost Face spoke again: "Put my painting on the wall."

Chen Jiajun nodded and then pasted the painting on.

Then Chen Jiajun noticed that the wall in front of him was slowly blurring, and then a huge iron gate appeared in front of him.

After removing the painting of the ghost face from the iron gate, Chen Jiajun continued walking forward.

Returning to Kowloon Walled City in this alternate dimension, Chen Jiajun still felt a chilling wind blowing through him.

The path behind them had completely disappeared, and there was clearly no way back.

Chen Jiajun said to the masked man, "Hey, you're not trying to trick me, are you?"

Ghost Face sneered and said, "You're overthinking it. Someone as unacceptable to heaven and earth as you is a problem for this world if you stay here for even a second longer!"

"Speak properly, why are you swearing!" Chen Jiajun said unhappily.

"I'm stating the facts!" Ghost Face said bluntly, "If it weren't for the fact that you're still somewhat useful, killing you would have been the simplest way!"

Chen Jiajun sneered, and magical flames erupted from his body: "You can try it!"

"That's why I plan to send you back! Don't doubt my intentions!" Ghost Face retorted without backing down. "But if you're looking for death, I won't hesitate to grant your wish!"

"Hmph!" Chen Jiajun snorted coldly and continued walking forward.

Just like when Chen Jiajun came, Kowloon Walled City is now a ghost town.

The place was so vast, there wasn't a soul in sight.

Following the path he had come from, Chen Jiajun walked for about half an hour before finally finding the restaurant.

The television in the restaurant was still filled with static, the food was still on the table, and there was no sign of the food in the bowls rotting, as if... time had stopped working in this place.

"Alright, we've arrived!" Chen Jiajun said to Ghost Face.

"I know, no need to be so loud!" This time, the ghost mask didn't appear on the portrait, but appeared directly on the television.

The ghost on the TV was dressed in a Taoist-style robe, but instead of the Tai Chi Bagua symbols used by Taoists, it had eerie eyes on it.

These eyes seemed to come alive, staring intently at me, which was somewhat unsettling.

Chen Jiajun said to the ghost-faced man, "Then write it down."

"Wait!" Ghost Face suddenly stepped out of the television, exuding a sinister and evil aura.

This feeling was quite familiar to Chen Jiajun.

Ghost Face ignored Chen Jiajun and instead took a bowl of red liquid, which was either paint or blood, and started writing and drawing on the ground.

A moment later, Chen Jiajun realized this was gossip.

However, the "Bagua" diagram drawn by the ghost mask seems to be somewhat different.

Not only was the hexagram wrong, but the key element of the formation was not a Tai Chi diagram, but a somewhat eerie eye.

“Alright, go inside!” Ghost said to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun was taken aback for a moment and said, "It's that simple? No need to do any rituals or anything?"

"Enough with the nonsense. Are you coming in or not? If not, I'm leaving!" Ghost Eyes said irritably.

Left with no other choice, Chen Jiajun could only step into the formation.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jiajun felt that eerie atmosphere of the internship again.

Then, in a flash, he found himself on a street teeming with people.

Looking at the somewhat familiar surroundings, and that familiar roast goose shop, Chen Jiajun felt a sense of disorientation.

Just as Chen Jiajun was in a daze, an old woman started cursing: "You little rascal, what are you doing? Trying to cut in line? Believe me or not, I'll beat you up!"

Chen Jiajun was finally snapped out of his daze, then took a deep breath and roared, "I'm finally fucking back!" (End of Chapter)
