Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 152 - : A Man of Many Talents and Wealth Draws People Near

Chapter 152: Chapter 152: A Man of Many Talents and Wealth Draws People Near

While most of the villagers of Chixia Village were gathered at the village chief’s doorstep, singing and dancing, a dim light lit up in a small wooden cabin on the other side of the village.

The unassuming structure stood out oddly against the backdrop of its pitch-dark neighbors.

Zhao Lang, who should have been on his way to the town, suddenly appeared in a second-floor room.

He walked straight to the desk, opened a drawer, and took out an old-fashioned, seemingly cumbersome senior citizen’s phone.

After opening the battery cover of the phone, he skillfully inserted a small chip.

The next second, the phone lit up with blue light.

...

Zhao Lang then pressed a button on the side and the clunky senior citizen’s phone instantly began to reassemble itself, turning into a handheld computer within seconds.

A blue light projected from the computer fell on the desk, turning into a virtual keyboard.

Zhao Lang’s slender, pale fingertips tapped away at the keyboard, and in no time, the computer’s screen was magnified and formed a projection on the wall.

A man’s voice sounded.

“Tsk tsk, boss, it’s been several months; you’ve finally decided to call me again.”

The screen on the wall lit up, revealing the face of a young man.

Zhao Lang leaned back in the chair behind him and lowered his gaze to twirl the Buddha Beads on his wrist.

“I’ve been a bit busy.”

The young man laughed, “Busy being on TV, right? You don’t know, the brothers were shocked when they saw your broadcast. You’ve been hiding for so long and suddenly showing your face in front of so many people. Not only them, but I was also taken aback.”

Zhao Lang clicked his tongue and lifted his head, “Stop talking nonsense.”

The young man on the screen paused when he saw the thick layer of gauze wrapped around Zhao Lang’s forehead.

“Boss, how did you get injured again? There’s not much in that village; you better not mess yourself up.”

Zhao Lang raised his hand to touch his forehead, and his crimson lips slightly rose.

“I’m not injured,” he said.

Those bandages were just for show.

After all, he didn’t want that girl to see through him.

“Let’s not talk about that,” Zhao Lang stretched his legs and leaned back in the chair. “Did you look at the stuff I sent you this afternoon? Did you find anything?”

“I found something, boss,” the young man said. “It’s a needle from a high-strength anesthesia gun, usually used for hunting large animals. For a dog, if a full dose is injected, it probably wouldn’t survive.”

Zhao Lang’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

Indeed, Lai Fu didn’t die from that animal trap.

In that case, those people were indeed very suspicious.

“How are things going with Mu Bei?” Zhao Lang changed the subject after a moment of silence. “Did you get those oil wells?”

The young man dismissively waved his hand, “How could we not get them? Boss, who are you? Talented and billions-worth, near-undefeatable. We haven’t even played our trump card, and those old guys backed down. Just a few oil wells, how could we not secure them?”

Zhao Lang nodded, “Good, I’ll leave M country in your hands.”

The young man paused, “Boss, what do you mean? Aren’t you planning to show up?”

Zhao Lang smiled, “The big fish hasn’t bitten yet, why would I show myself so easily?”

“You mean… the Gu Family still hasn’t found you? That shouldn’t be.”

Zhao Lang’s eye color darkened, “I’m afraid he’s already taken action.”

Some noises gradually came from outside. Zhao Lang tilted his head and got up from the chair.

“I won’t talk more; contact me if there’s anything else important.”

With that, he didn’t wait for the young man to respond and he cut off the communication, restored the phone to its original state, and put it back in the drawer.

After tidying up, he pushed the door open and walked to the railings, only to look down and see two people who had just entered through the doors.

It was Jiang Yan and Jiang Li.

Jiang Yan was still complaining about Jiang Li not letting him smoke or drink at the gathering.

And facing his tantrum, Jiang Li remained completely expressionless, as if she had completely ignored the existence of the person next to her.

Looking up, she made eye contact with Zhao Lang on the second floor.

“Have you come back?” Jiang Li said.

Jiang Yan followed her gaze upward and saw Zhao Lang too.

Yes.

This kid didn’t even go to the gathering; where did he go to have fun and be carefree?

Zhao Lang nodded and smiled, “Just got back. I heard you all went to the village chief’s house for a meal and didn’t bring anything good back for me?”

Jiang Li raised the takeout box in her hand.

“I brought some, there’s fish soup. Come down and have some.”

Jiang Yan: “!!!”

“I was wondering why you wouldn’t let me drink that last bowl of fish soup. It turns out it was for this kid!”

The cp fans in the livestream commented that they were thrilled once again.

[Ah ah ah ah ah I was wondering why Lili packed so much food, thinking it was for a late-night snack. It turns out it was specially for Daniu.]

[I’m curious where Daniu went this afternoon; he hasn’t shown up all evening.]

[Can someone please take away Jiang Yan, this lightbulb? I want to see the Lili-Daniu cp being sweet!]

Jiang Li glanced at him and after a few seconds said, “Jiang Yan, do you want to take a hot shower?”

Jiang Yan didn’t expect her to change the subject so drastically and was stunned for a moment, “What do you mean?”

“You can use the shower for ten minutes,” Jiang Li said, looking down at her wristwatch. “It’s 9:40 now, and I’ll shut off the water valve at 9:50.”

Jiang Yan: “!!!”

He dashed toward the woodshed.

It was only after he got undressed and felt the warmth of the water that he remembered something.

Why was Jiang Li so kind today to let him use the shower for free?

He knew!

She must have awakened her genes as a sister and started to feel pity for him, her brother!

In actuality, Jiang Li just found him annoying and wanted to send him away.

Sure enough, after Jiang Yan left, the entire yard became much quieter, with only the occasional clucking of Richard to be heard.

Zhao Lang also came down from the second floor.

Their eyes met, and they understood each other’s intentions.

Jiang Li spoke first.

“The food has gotten a bit cold; let’s warm it up in the kitchen.”

Zhao Lang nodded in agreement, “I’ll do it.”

And so, one after the other, they entered the kitchen.

[I’m dying of laughter hahaha so Jiang Yan was intentionally sent away just now?]

[I bet the young master is still foolishly thinking he’s hit the jackpot, not knowing that Daniu has already invaded his home.]

[Save me, I can already picture Jiang Yan showering, acting all tough and saucy.]

[Saucy as he may be, you can’t deny, the young master is still handsome.]

[So does Jiang Li really have feelings for Daniu?? Otherwise, why would she care so much about him?]

[No, no, our Lili is only 19. She shouldn’t suffer from love.]

[You fans are hilarious. Before, Jiang Li was teased for liking President Shang, just a few days ago you were shipping her with the Movie Emperor, and now you say she’s interested in Zhao Lang. Is every man in the world supposed to be hers?]
