Chapter 115: The Entire City of Jiang Was Stunned

Qin Yuru fell silent.

"You know as well as I do that for all these years, who has ever truly wanted to participate in this project? Everyone understands that it is a bottomless pit."

"After investing, not only will you fail to see any returns, but you might also find yourself dragged down, unable to extricate yourself. Since they are looking for this trouble, why should we follow them to our own doom?"

"The returns Lin Li and Su Lan have already provided us are sufficient. Once they both gradually descend into despair, we will step in and take back the group. Wouldn't that be even better?" Qin Guoyu said, looking smug.

He felt his strategy was nothing short of brilliant, letting the kid struggle as much as he liked. He was eager to see what other impressive tricks Lin Li might have up his sleeve.

Hearing this, Qin Yuru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, that is what you have been planning all along, Second Brother."

"Indeed, this is the best solution for us, and it saves us from having to directly oppose them."

...

"I really didn't expect them to accept our proposal so easily."

Once they were outside, even Su Lan found what had just happened unbelievable. She had originally expected that returning to the Qin family ancestral home would subject them to all sorts of difficulties. Instead, through Lin Li's various maneuvers, they had successfully resolved everything.

"They simply saw the disparity in strength between us and realized that their petty tactics are no match for us. That is why they chose to negotiate; otherwise, given their characters, they would never have admitted defeat so easily."

Lin Li had long since seen through their little games, so he offered no comment on their performance.

"Now that all obstacles are cleared, the next step is to fully push forward the Tianxin District project."

"As long as we can achieve this, we won't need to worry about any subsequent issues."

For Lin Li, everything now hinged on the Tianxin District project. Other matters could be put aside for later, but the Tianxin District project had to be resolved first.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully intercepting the destiny of the Child of the Plane. Reward: 10 billion in legal funds and a gift of one Myriad Spirit Bag.]

Ten billion, plus a storage space?

The system’s reward this time had arrived exactly when Lin Li needed it most.

He had originally intended to seek cooperation with the Four Great Families once this matter was settled. Furthermore, he had indeed had Fu Bowen collect quite a number of venomous insects, but storing and raising them had been a problem.

Now, with the Myriad Spirit Bag, things were different. This item was essentially a small world. It could house many insects, and according to Lin Li’s will, he could alter the environment within it at will. Although the scale was not large, the key was that it could be expanded using villain points, and it could store a massive quantity of insects. This saved a lot of trouble and could further enhance the power of the insects.

In this way, whenever Lin Li needed to treat patients in the future, he wouldn't have to bring out those terrifying insects.

Su Lan was still thinking about how to arrange the next steps, but when she looked at Lin Li beside her, she saw him wearing a face full of smiles.

"What's wrong?"

"Although the family matters are resolved, the startup capital for the Tianxin District project is still a problem."

"We must also consider the subsequent continuous investment. Now is the time to handle this seriously," Su Lan said, speaking with a serious demeanor.

She looked as though she were taking the matter very seriously, but Lin Li appeared entirely carefree.

"You... what are you doing?"

"Stop fooling around; it is not yet time for us to go on the offensive."

Lin Li continued, "There is no need to worry about the initial capital investment. I can provide 10 billion."

Su Lan was completely stunned. Was he joking? Ten billion? Who just casually pulls out that much money? Not to mention that before this, Lin Li had seemed like nothing more than an ordinary bodyguard.

"Lin Li, don't joke with me."

"This is an investment, not something you can just talk about. If we fail to prepare sufficiently because of this, it will be over if problems arise." Su Lan’s voice trembled as she spoke; she was terrified that some other reason might lead to failure this time.

"Rest assured, I am absolutely certain about this."

"I don't care how others view this matter, but if they think they can take advantage of me, that is absolutely impossible."

The Tianxin District project was set to restart. This news caused quite a stir throughout Jiangcheng.

Most people naturally did not believe it; after all, so many years had passed, and many had tried before. But upon hearing about the initial investment required, they had simply given up. The Qin Group? In the eyes of many, they were not even in the same league as the Four Great Families. Who would believe that a tiny Qin Group could pull this off?

However, although rumors were flying across Jiangcheng, the Four Great Families were keeping a close eye on the situation. At first, they suspected the Qin Group was just putting on a show, but as time went on, they began to think the matter was not so simple.

...

"Are you saying that this kid has been determined from the very beginning and wasn't joking?" Leng Tianyi asked, looking at Leng Ningxue.

This was one of the few times the father and daughter were able to have a proper conversation. Especially lately, with more and more news about the Qin Group surfacing, even he could no longer distinguish what was true.

Leng Ningxue simply looked up and glanced at him coolly.

"I told you a long time ago that once he has made a decision, it will not change."

"The Tianxin District project was already within his established scope."

Although Leng Ningxue spoke very seriously, Leng Tianyi was still unwilling to believe it.

"The investment required for this project is simply too large. According to our estimates, at least 30 billion is needed for the initial phase."

"You must understand that this is liquid capital. Even if the Qin Group has been operating very well over the years, it is still impossible to achieve this."

While there had indeed been some activity regarding the Tianxin District project, until the final moment arrived, who could truly believe that Lin Li could create a legend?

Leng Ningxue smiled and offered no further explanation. Whether he believed it or not was Leng Tianyi’s business, but for now, everything was going smoothly for Lin Li.

In any case, when the time came, Leng Ningxue would be the first to invest in the Tianxin District. Not for any other reason, but simply for love.
