A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Chapter 121. Beneath the crumbling wall.

"Let's go, sit tight." I started the motorcycle and set off.

Before long, they reached the main road.

I couldn't help but ask again, "Miss Ke, I went to your house just now, why didn't I see you?"

"I was in the back room, of course you didn't see me."

"Then why...didn't you come down the mountain with me, but instead waited for me at the foot of the mountain?"

"Because the mountain roads are dangerous, I didn't dare to ride your motorcycle, so I took a side road down the mountain and waited for you here."

Miss Ke patted my shoulder: "That's what my dad said, 'A wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall.'"

It turned out to be the case.

But when did a young girl dare to call herself a gentleman?

Suddenly I realized that I am now caught up in the land dispute between Dao Zixiong and Heng Jie Sangkun, and I am in a dilemma. Isn't this putting myself under a dangerous wall?

"Miss Ke, your father is a highly skilled man, but when I visited him today, he gave me a divination and said eight words."

"Brother Wang, you should be content."

Miss Ke chuckled: "Countless high-ranking officials and business tycoons want to meet my father, but they can't."

Is it really that amazing? I don't quite believe it.

Ms. Ke continued, "Director Song of the Planning Bureau in Dongguan asked someone to ask my father to do a fortune telling for him three times, but my father has never met him."

"Director Song?" I was taken aback.

"You know him?"

"Oh, I've met you before," I said with a forced smile.

"My name is Ke Cailian. Remember my phone number. I'll arrange a time in advance if you come to see my dad again."

"Thank you, Miss Ke." I parked my car on the side of the road and exchanged phone numbers with Ke Cailian.

The old man plants clouds, the daughter picks lotus flowers; just hearing this name, you know that their life is poetic and picturesque.

Then look at the name my father gave me, Yaozu. Hmm, just by hearing it, you can tell he's a country bumpkin who was poor and pathetic his whole life, and he puts all his hopes on his son, expecting him to bring glory to the family... Sigh!

The journey back was very smooth.

Perhaps it was because there was a beautiful woman behind him that his mood was different.

Unfortunately, Ke Cailian doesn't talk much and doesn't chat with me much.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, I dropped Ke Cailian off in front of the newspaper building in the city center.

"Thank you, Brother Wang?" Ke Cailian got out of the car and smiled. "You should read the book my dad gave you. Otherwise, it won't be easy to see him again."

"I know, thanks for reminding me." I nodded and thanked them, but didn't think much of it.

Given Master Zhongyun's pretentious and aloof demeanor, I don't want to see him either.

"Then I'm leaving." Ke Cailian waved to me.

"Ke Cailian, you work at a newspaper?"

"I work in this building, but not at the newspaper office." Ke Cailian turned to leave, but then frowned and said, "I've done some calculations, and I think you're in a little trouble right now. Good luck."

I laughed: "What little trouble? Are you trying to scare me?"

You'll find out soon enough!

Ke Cailian waved and walked into the newspaper building.

"Like father, like daughter!" I shook my head and prepared to return to Sanlichuan.

But when I turned around, I found myself surrounded.

The three men in hats split into three groups and intercepted me.

"Get out of the car, put your hands on your head and squat down, behave yourself!" A man in a hat raised his extendable baton, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.

Without saying a word, I squatted down with my hands on my head.

Saying anything at this point will only get you hit a few more times.

Because of my cooperation, the police whip wasn't used.

"Tell me, where did this motorcycle come from? Was it stolen?" The authoritative voice was deafening.

"It wasn't stolen. It belonged to Chief Nie of Sanlichuan Police Station and Zhan Shixiong of the Sanlichuan Security Team." I answered loudly, "I can call Zhan Shixiong and Chief Nie to prove my innocence!"

The three uncles were stunned and fell silent for a moment.

I breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously looked up: "I have a cell phone. I can call right away and have Zhan Shixiong and Director Nie explain to you."

An older man in a hat thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Take the motorcycle and the person back together first."

I had no choice but to comply.

A young man in a hat rode off on my motorcycle.

The other two uncles escorted me into a police car, and it kept driving off, I don't know where it was going.

I'm worried they won't send me to the legendary Camphor Tree Head.

Sigh, it seems that Dao Zixiong and Director Nie's reputations are useless in the city.

About twenty minutes later, I was taken to the South City Branch and put into a small dark room.

My phone, money, and personal belongings were all taken away.

"Comrade, may I make a phone call?" I asked cautiously.

"No way." A hat-wearing figure sneered. "Just stay put and wait for Director Nie to come and get you."

I sighed and didn't dare to say anything.

Suddenly I thought of Ke Cailian, and I cursed her in my heart.

That brat! She clearly saw three hats coming towards me, but she didn't warn me. Instead, she played tricks on me, saying I was in a little trouble.

Now it's not just a small problem, it's a huge headache!

I recalled the divination Master Zhongyun performed for me, the Well hexagram, which depicts a person trapped in a well, though not drowning.

That's a really accurate calculation!

"A pearl hidden deep in the abyss, quietly remaining unchanged."

I silently recited the eight-character mantra given to me by the Taoist priest and waited quietly in the small dark room.

About an hour later, the door opened.

The older man, beaming, said, "Brother, we misunderstood you. We've found out everything. Go back now. Director Nie and Zhan Shixiong are waiting to throw you a feast to calm your nerves."

"Thank you, boss." I breathed a sigh of relief.

When I stepped out of the dark room, it was almost dark.

The uncles didn't make things difficult for me; they returned my ID card, wallet, phone, and motorcycle to me.

I picked up my phone and looked at it; there were several missed calls.

Calls came from Chunyan, Daozaixiong, Sister Li, and the tenants...

I didn't have time to return the call, so I left the place first.

I ran like a wild horse all the way, and in more than thirty minutes, I returned to Sanlichuan.

It's so nice; the air in Sanlichuan smells so familiar!

I took out my phone and returned each call.

"Sister Li, I'm fine. I was just misunderstood by some uncles in hats and detained for half an hour..."

"Chunyan, I just got back. I'll contact you later."

"Brother Xiong, I'm back. Thank you for saving me!" I called Daozai Xiong last.

Dao Zai Xiong laughed heartily: "Brother, we're all at the Golden Dragon Hotel, throwing a feast to calm your nerves. Come on over!"

"Brother Xiong, isn't that unnecessary? I'll treat you another day!"

"We're all here. It's up to you whether you come or not." Daozai Xiong hung up the phone.

That makes it clear we have no choice but to go.

I went home, washed my face, changed my clothes, and rode my bike to the Jinlong Hotel.

Inside the private room were only Dao Zixiong, Director Tang, Director Hong from the New Development Zone, and a strange fat man who looked like he was in business.

Both Dao Zixiong and Director Hong had a pretty little sister by their side.

There were two little sisters next to the fat man!

Dao Zixiong introduced the fat man to me: "Chairman Cai of Hongfa Tire Group."

"Hello, Mr. Cai." I stepped forward and shook hands.

"Hey bro." Mr. Cai shook my hand and pushed a girl next to him toward me: "Go, keep my brother company."

The girl was delicate and suddenly threw herself into my arms.
