Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 377 Chapter 376, inheritance, fire, clues, possibilities (5K)

"Club... before Liszt, who was it?"

Lin Chu asked casually as if nothing had happened, with a bit of curiosity in his heart, mostly gossip.

No matter how the world develops or what the state of universal civilization is, the inheritance of wealth will naturally exist. It’s just that the inheritance of the top wealth is often an extremely secretive form, unknown to outsiders, and at the same time, all kinds of true and false stories are circulating.

The most typical example is Freemasonry in the West, while in the East most people bet on several sides. The prominent families choose different political forces and disperse their investments. No matter which one wins, they will always have their own people in the end.

The club's inheritance model, if based on what Li Jingxian just said, would be truly...perverted.

Not a belief, not a race, not a blood relationship...

Instead, it took a more deformed form, obedience testing, and even forced Lister to castrate himself.

Li Jingxian licked his lips. He didn't really want to answer such an irrelevant question, but now he had to ask Lin Chu for help, so he had to be patient: "I'm not sure. No one knows about this matter until now. I guess he was very rich in that era. As for why he chose Lister, it was probably because he was so outstanding. He made nearly $1 billion in the futures market with his first pot of gold."

"And the reason why he entered that person's field of vision was because he was a grassroots person, made too much profit, and was then physically hunted down by the big short seller at the time. Whether it was killing his own children or castrating himself, there was a certain amount of helplessness involved."

"He had always admired you, but at the same time he tortured you. I felt that it was probably because of this distant similarity that if you wanted to inherit everything from him, you would have to go through the tragedy that he went through."

"When your wife was just pregnant, I told him the news. He asked about it in detail and seemed to have some thoughts at the time, wanting to arrange some actions, but in the end, he probably thought about it again and again and decided not to act."

"Based on my understanding of him, his requirements for the club's leader should not be much different from those of the previous generation. That image is that of a strong, intelligent, cold, fanatical, and without any human emotions, so that he can focus all his thoughts on the more distant future, the starry sky in the physical dimension, or immortality in the time dimension."

Li Jingxian said with a bit of sigh.

Over the years, he himself has been assimilated to some extent and has some of the temperament of a superior, but after all, he is only close to "power" and has not yet fully possessed power, so he still retains a lot of human elements.

Of course, he knew in his heart that this was why Liszt looked down on him.

It is really hard for ordinary people to cope with such abnormal thoughts.

Lin Chu: …

After taking a sip of tea and thinking about it, I decided not to ask any further questions. There was no need for that.

For me, I can’t talk about the macro narrative now. The intergenerational inheritance of wealth is a bottomless pit.

If it is the Chinese style of "diversified investment", it is more in line with my own aesthetics and value orientation, but it is really unable to impress me if it is something like a connection of faith or concept.

However, even if the investment is diversified, it will only last for a few generations at most.

The beauty of a gentleman will be cut down in five lifetimes.

No matter how awesome you are, can you be more awesome than the Kong family?
In the end it's still just a pile of ruins.

"What do you need me to do?"

After thinking about all this, Lin Chu leaned back tactically and crossed his legs. The light in the basement shone on his face, with distinct light and dark. If there was a cigar, he would really have a bit of the "Godfather" feeling.

"I want to save my daughter."

Li Jingxian perked up and said through gritted teeth: "This is my only request."

After a pause, he continued, "I know most of the secrets about the club, except for Mr. Li's will. I can help you, as long as you rescue my daughter."

"They don't have the ability, except you."

"Your security company was once the thing that he feared the most. Now, I need such force."

Lin Chu stared at him intently for a few seconds, then frowned slightly.

"If the arrangement on the Solomon Islands is as you said, how do you want to get in?"

It's not impossible to help him with this matter, but the detailed plan must be prepared in advance.

It is not a wise move to let yourself pay with the lives of your brothers.

To put it more evilly, for himself, it might not be a bad thing if Lister really died in there.

This matter is completely settled.

"I...I don't know."

"The boss has zoning authority for the arrangement inside. I only had access to a portion of it before, but now it may have all been changed. I can only make an accurate judgment after I go there."

Li Jingxian said hesitantly and embarrassedly.

If he really had someone under his command and had accurate information, he would not have come to Lin Chu for help.

The base in the Solomon Islands is now a huge black box, and no one knows what is going on inside.

"Okay, let's go, I'll send someone to go check it out with you first."

"But if it's force majeure, there's nothing I can do."

"How many days has it been since Liszt lost contact? There is no news from the driver, bodyguard, or secretary?"

Having said that, Lin Chu stood up. Objectively speaking, this matter was still quite tricky, mainly because he did not have a particularly strong motivation to rescue people.

However, when it comes to paying attention, we should still pay a certain degree of attention.

After all, it concerns the subsequent situation of the club.

If you have the right means to rob ownerless property, you may not be without a chance.

And if Lister really used some particularly inhumane means that exceeded his limit of tolerance, it is not impossible to deal with him humanely.

However, based on Lin Chu's understanding of him, this old fox might have more arrangements.

"it is good."

"I see."

Li Jingxian tried his best to save the situation, so he stood up quickly and followed Lin Chu back to the ground. His cell phone signal was restored, and he saw several missed calls, text messages and email notifications. After taking a look at them, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Noticing his situation, Lin Chu asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"Something…something happened."

"I just received news that Mr. Li's estates in Australia and Los Angeles are on fire. The fire is huge and covers dozens of miles..."

Trembling, Li Jingxian handed the phone to Lin Chu.

Seeing the pictures and videos above, Lin Chu was silent for a moment and cursed secretly in his heart.

Growing grass!

This old guy really has made some arrangements, and he is really cruel!

These places are prone to fires. Fires may occur during the dry season, and most of the news reports are about natural disasters.

But now, at this point in time, it is hard for Lin Chu not to doubt that this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

Where people live for a long time, many traces will inevitably be left behind. Burning them with fire is the lowest-cost option and the cleanest way to deal with them.

As for the huge disaster that would be caused, for Lister, it was not even within his consideration.

Maybe, it's even a signal of some kind.

It is most likely not directed at oneself, but may be directed at others as a warning.

The destructive power itself is a warning.

It's not like I haven't considered this approach before. If I was really arrested during the trial, Lin Chu had even made follow-up arrangements. The idea was the same.

Tsk.

At this time, Lin Chu even wanted to laugh.

No wonder the old fox values ​​himself so much.

"Besides these two estates, does he have any other residence?"

Lin Chu asked again.

Li Jingxian thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Yes, he has residences in New York, Tokyo, Switzerland, and London, but most of the time, Mr. Li stays in hotels. The club itself has assets under its name, including top luxury hotels. However, these two places are where he spends the most time each year on average."

"And there are a lot of secret equipment. There's even an alchemy furnace in the Australian manor. Well, he tried this ancient method before, but it didn't work."

Lin Chu: …

I couldn't help laughing out loud.

While I felt it was ridiculous, I also felt a little pity in my heart.

The potential that people can unleash in the face of death is truly enormous.

But this is unavoidable.

According to the information I got from many channels, many billionaires with assets worth tens of billions of dollars are now paying most attention to this field. They have tried almost all possible directions, some of which have not been exposed, while others have been exposed. Laws, morals, and ethics are all empty words in the face of the instinctive fear of death.

There are even wealthy people who use their own sons as blood banks and use the fresh blood of young people for their own blood circulation.

In comparison, all of Lister's actions are understandable.

It's just that he's older now, and closer to death.

"Let's not worry about that for now." "Take a half-hour break and have a meal. I'll have a meeting with someone and prepare to leave for the Solomon Islands."

"I need the information about the club right now. Please be sure to give me details. The more detailed the better. I trust you. I hope you will not let me down."

Patting his shoulder, Lin Chu casually instructed the nanny next to him and took him to the guest room.

"I...I will. Don't worry about that. I'll sort it out now."

Li Jingxian nodded heavily and agreed. He took a few steps and looked back at Lin Chu with a complicated look.

He always felt that he had an elusive feeling towards Lin Chu.

Even now, it is still like this.

The feeling this young man gives people is actually quite similar to that of the boss.

……

A few minutes later.

Lin Chu called Gao Haitao to a meeting and explained the situation to him first.

After hearing this, Gao Haitao was stunned. Combined with the news that had just happened, after digesting it for a moment, his expression even looked a little happy and he started to laugh.

"why are you laughing?"

Lin Chu asked with a smile on his face. Of course, he was in a very relaxed mood, just like watching a play.

"Before you make someone perish, you must first make him crazy. The old man is crazy now, which is a good thing, a very good thing."

"What's the matter, Brother Chu, do you still sympathize with him?"

"His greatest value to us right now is that he is an asset that the club may have, and it has to be clean."

"Before he lost contact, did he leave you any clues? Did he contact you?"

Gao Haitao smiled relaxedly. He didn't think so much about it. In his heart, he always regarded Lister and the club as imaginary enemies. The core employees in the security company were examined strictly, comparable to the political review in the country, especially after Lin Chu got the list of "traitors" from Jin Bingzuo.

Now, I am so happy.

Hearing Lao Gao's words, Lin Chu's heart was slightly moved: "There is no email, no message, but this is indeed a bit unreasonable. Hey, I thought of a place!"

"The town of Interlaken?"

"And the cabin where I met him before."

"Whether it's overthinking or not, let's send someone to take a look first. Let Liu Chenhui go. I'll talk to him in person. He also experienced the whole process in person."

Lin Chu wasn’t sure about this, but it didn’t matter if he went and took a look. What if there were any clues?

"Row."

"So, regarding the Solomon Islands, do you want to go there in person? Or should I go? Or should we send someone?"

"As long as we don't force our way in, the danger shouldn't be too great. But we're just worried about the volcanic eruption, which is out of control."

"It's quite close from here. It takes three hours by plane and about twenty hours by cargo ship. Landing is also a problem. There should be an airport in the area, but it needs to be prepared in advance."

"There are now eighty-seven of our brothers over there, disguised in various industries. There are no brothers in the base. Tang Qiang didn't report to me, so there shouldn't be any."

Gao Haitao analyzed in detail.

"I won't go. I don't care whether he will die or not. My wife is pregnant now. I don't care. You go and keep an eye on Li Jingxian. You can believe some of what this kid says, but not all of it. Think about it from another perspective. What if he is sent by an old fox to test me?"

Lin Chu smiled sincerely.

Hearing this, Gao Haitao was also amused, and laughed easily: "Don't mention it, it's not impossible. What if this is the last hurdle, testing your loyalty? No matter what decision the old man makes, you have to support it unconditionally, and only then will he give us trillions of dollars of assets."

"If that's the case, I won't go either."

"Go check out the situation first."

"Go take a look at Liu Da's side, too."

"It's just a possibility... Now the initiative is in my hands."

Lin Chu smiled and waved his hand, then went out after the chat and got up to make various arrangements.

Although Li Jingxian had some objections to Lin Chu not going on his own, he hesitated and ultimately did not force it.

No one is stronger than Lin Chu.

I can only follow Gao Haitao to investigate the situation first.

……

Watching their plane fly away, Lin Chu stood on the beach and watched the sunset for a while.

The sunset is like blood and the sunset glow is beautiful.

Some unspeakable emotions quietly arose in my heart.

I just feel that the world is really torn apart.

The gap between people is so big that it is almost abstract. Even though they are working on the same small piece of land, what they see, think, and do are completely different.

The truth is shrouded in lies, lies are mixed with the truth, and it is difficult to judge what is true and what is false.

However, what remains unchanged is that all living beings suffer.

Even if you are powerful and wealthy enough to rival a country, you will eventually have to face real fears.

When faced with real fears, these so-called rich and powerful people are actually not that different from ordinary people.

Not afraid, that still hasn't hit the pain point.

Who wouldn’t feel pain if they got poked?
It's a body of flesh and blood, not a silicon-based creature.

As his thoughts wandered, Lin Chu also thought, I wonder what my reaction would be when I get old and death really comes, or even before death comes? What kind of madness would I fall into?
All human thinking and survival logic are actually based on death. The fear of death creates civilization.

In fact, when I think about these things now, I feel that there is nothing to be afraid of at all.

Afraid of yarn?

But that's because I'm still young, I have a healthy body and well-developed muscles, I have the energy to do anything, I enjoy eating everything, and the distance is very, very far away, so I'm not panicked at all.

But when you are really old and dying, your mentality will definitely change.

This is inevitable.

Who can really face it calmly?
Besides...

Now that my father is still alive, my parents are a wall between me and death. While my father is still alive, I almost instinctively don’t think about this issue.

It’s hard to say when my dad reaches middle age and I’m middle-aged.

"Hey……"

Thinking about this, Lin Chu couldn't help but sigh deeply, and couldn't help but call his father.

After his woman became pregnant and the family relationships were sorted out, his relationship with his father entered a new level.

A man’s complete maturity begins with mentally “killing” his father.

Further tolerance starts with understanding your father’s limitations and readjusting the way you get along with him.

This is not only a traditional virtue, but also the original nature of the parent-child relationship.

My father didn't have much education, and he raised his animals in the wild. From my generation, I can think carefully about family traditions.

"Dad, it's the beginning of the year already. Have you finished your full medical checkup?"

"Have you been secretly smoking or drinking recently?"

I have already arranged a complete medical team for him, the kind of private doctor at home, top-level care, with someone on duty 24 hours a day to monitor him and force him to quit smoking and drinking.

It's painful, but it's for the long term.

Lin Haifu answered the phone and became furious: "Mind your own business, don't bother me all the time! It's none of your business! What's wrong with me smoking a cigarette? I can't afford it! I raised you with all my hard work, and you treat your father like this? Abuse! Abuse your father! Bastard! Giving birth to you is better than giving birth to a piece of barbecued pork!"

He cursed and swore very foully.

I could also hear the giggling of a young girl nearby, probably a home nurse or something like that.

Lin Chu couldn't help but laugh out loud, very brightly: "Okay, it seems that the quitting is quite successful, Dad is great, keep it up... Love you."

Lin Haifu: "Get lost! I'm dead!"

Beep beep.

He hung up the phone immediately.
