Chapter 648: Chapter 649: Illusion

When Mr. Chen sat down, Ye Qiu took one look at his face and knew he was down on his luck. It was likely the same with his other business ventures.

"May I ask, who is looking to take over the shop?"

"We are,"

Ye Qiu said.

"Alright, we can sign the contract right now,"

Mr. Chen said.

"Let’s eat first, no rush."

Seeing how the other party was already so down-and-out, he invited them to a meal as a sort of gesture.

Ye Qiu ordered eight or nine dishes, and the total price exceeded three thousand yuan. When the waitress took the menu, she gave Ye Qiu a curious look.

After she left, Ye Qiu said: "We can sign the contract, but let me be clear, no matter how the business goes, you can’t come causing trouble."

"Of course."

To Mr. Chen, that shop was a heavy burden he had long wanted to get rid of but had no means to do so.

Now that someone was finally willing to take it off his hands, he was eager to get rid of it as soon as possible.

When Mr. Chen pulled out a transfer contract, Consultant Luo took it to review. Indeed, there were no issues. Mr. Chen also produced his contract with the property owner, which Consultant Luo confirmed was alright. He looked at Ye Qiu and said: "Mr. Ye, the contract is fine."

"Then let’s sign it."

When Liu Daqing signed, Ye Qiu just handed over the rent for the remaining months of the year to Mr. Chen, as he had already paid the property owner.

The monthly rent for the shop was about eight thousand five hundred yuan, totaling over one hundred thousand yuan a year. Including utilities and labor costs, expenses amounted to at least one hundred fifty thousand yuan. So, if the shop could net two hundred thousand yuan a year, the profit was only around fifty thousand yuan.

However, Mr. Chen had already been losing money for over a year, running a small supermarket.

"Can you contact the property owner?"

"Yes, but the person rarely stays in Jinling."

If that was the case, Ye Qiu would need to sign a new contract with the property owner, at least for five years, considering that nowadays, many people might breach contracts when faced with profit opportunities.

Ye Qiu had ways to handle such situations but preferred not to make things too complicated.

"Consultant Luo, please contact the property owner for me. I’ll still pay your commission."

"Mr. Ye, you’re too kind. I promise to handle this for you."

When the waitress from the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant brought the dishes, Ye Qiu invited everyone to eat. Consultant Luo and Mr. Chen were quite pleased with the meal.

Especially after receiving the money and finally shedding the burden, Mr. Chen felt much more relieved.

Seeing Mr. Chen leave happily, Consultant Luo, Liu Daqing and his wife, and Liu Lingxiu were all puzzled. Could the shop really make a profit?

It was already past 9 p.m. Ye Qiu first drove Consultant Luo back to the shop and then took Liu Lingxiu and the Liu Daqing couple back to the Peach Blossom Source Residential Area.

Ye Weidong, Chen Fang, and Ye Xue would definitely not be back until after 11 p.m., when the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant closed.

...

After leaving the Tiger Bar, Liu Tong, wrapped in a bathrobe, didn’t dare go back to the five-star hotel to meet his old classmate again. He also didn’t dare to return to any of his other places, fearing that Ye Qiu would send people to catch him and take his life. So, he checked into a small hotel.

Now Liu Tong knew that, considering Ye Qiu’s influence, Jinling was probably too dangerous for him. Therefore, Liu Tong planned to leave Jinling the next day with a few trusted subordinates.

He tried calling Xiao Bao, but couldn’t reach him. Xiao Lang was also unreachable. As for Xiao Hu, according to information from Ye Qiu, Xiao Hu was likely dead.

Now, only his important subordinates, Xiao Bao and Xiao Lang, remained.

After a while, Liu Tong’s phone rang from an unknown number. When Liu Tong nervously answered, the voice on the other end said: "Boss, it’s Xiao Bao. I’ve been injured."

"Where are you?"

Liu Tong asked.

"I’m in the basement."

Xiao Bao wasn’t sure if his boss had been captured by the Jiangbei Gang, so he didn’t dare reveal his exact location.

"I’ll send someone to pick you up."

"No need, you should escape first. They might be after your life. Also, Brother Xiao Lang is dead."

Brother Xiao Lang is dead?

Thinking about Ye Qiu and Cai Yong, Liu Tong grew even more fearful.

He turned off his phone, hid in his small hotel room, and called the front desk, asking the receptionist to buy him a set of clothes.

Usually, if a customer requests a service, the hotel will try to accommodate. Seeing that Liu Tong appeared to be a boss type, the front desk receptionist immediately sent a waitress to a nearby clothing store to buy a set of clothes for him.

After about half an hour, Liu Tong received the clothes, took a shower in the hotel bathroom, changed into the new attire, and didn’t sleep. Instead, he watched TV out of boredom while keeping a vigilant eye on the door.

If someone suddenly barged in, he planned to escape through the window using the drainage pipe.

At around 5 a.m., Liu Tong was very tired. Fully dressed, he fell asleep on the hotel’s living room sofa. When he woke up, it was already past 5 p.m. the next day.

Liu Tong was starving but didn’t dare go out.

He tried calling Xiao Bao again, but the call wouldn’t go through.

So, he called the front desk and ordered four dishes and a soup.

After finishing the meal delivered by the hotel staff,

Liu Tong still didn’t dare go out. He needed to confirm the situation of Xiao Bao and the other Tiger Gang members. Since he couldn’t check the news, only Xiao Bao could confirm the situation.

But Xiao Bao’s phone remained unreachable.

At around 10 p.m., despite having slept all day, Liu Tong felt very tired. He went back to his room, took off his clothes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Since last night, the death energy that Ye Qiu channeled into Liu Tong had been circulating through his body. Naturally, a person’s body contains a certain energy flowing through the meridians. But that energy is life force, the innate energy of the body.

Now, however, there was an additional death energy, the energy of a dead person, circulating through him.

In his sleep, Liu Tong found himself in a different world where he saw his deceased son, Liu Wei, calling out to him repeatedly.

"Dad, come with me!"

"Dad, I’ll take you to a paradise!"

Under normal circumstances, Liu Tong would have realized he was dreaming and remembered that his son, Liu Wei, had long been dead. This was just a nightmare.

Unbeknownst to others, Liu Tong, wearing only underwear, got up from bed, opened the hotel door, and, under Liu Wei’s influence in his dream, climbed up to the railings of the fifth floor of the small hotel.

"Thud!"

The hotel staff upstairs and downstairs didn’t see clearly as Liu Tong leaped from the fifth floor, crashing into the ground below.
