Chapter 1158: The Inspiration from Li Qianya
by xennovel“Bang!”
“You bastard!”
Xu Shaochen furiously smashed the phone onto the ground shattering it instantly.
Wang Zhanhang’s recent behavior had completely enraged him.
He vowed to make sure Wang Zhanhang would have no place to rest in peace.
“What’s wrong? Who’s made you angry again?”
Hearing the noise, Li Qianya walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and bent down to pick up the shattered phone.
The towel was already short, and her bending over made one’s imagination run wild.
Filled with anger, Xu Shaochen tore off the towel from Li Qianya…
Half an hour later.
The room returned to silence, leaving only Li Qianya’s labored breathing.
After a few more minutes, Li Qianya finally calmed down with her breathing gradually stabilizing.
“What happened? You came back from dinner without a smile, then got so angry you almost broke me.”
Li Qianya leaned against Xu Shaochen’s chest asking.
Xu Shaochen kissed her forehead softly saying “Sorry I got too emotional.”
“Saying sorry now is useless. What happened? Don’t keep it inside—it’ll make you sick.”
Li Qianya glared at him, looking at the marks all over her body.
That half-hour was pure torment for her.
She didn’t resist because she saw Xu Shaochen was upset wanting him to vent out his frustration.
Xu Shaochen hugged Li Qianya tighter saying “I want to find someone hiding deep in the mountains. What do you think I should do?”
Li Qianya, without thinking, jokingly replied “You’re rich—just buy the mountain and dig three feet deep for him.”
Hearing this, Xu Shaochen was stunned then his eyes shone saying “Why didn’t I think of that?”
“Think of what?” Li Qianya didn’t catch what Xu Shaochen said.
“I love you to death, baby.”
Xu Shaochen said, kissing her cheek then getting back on top.
“What are you doing?” Li Qianya blinked, startled.
Xu Shaochen looked down at her with a wicked smile saying “I wasn’t good enough earlier. Let me serve you wholeheartedly this time.”
“Ugh, you rascal.”
Li Qianya blushed, spat, and then closed her eyes.
………
Morning.
Xu Shaochen opened his eyes.
Without waking Li Qianya, he quietly got up, dressed, and washed up.
After going downstairs, he called Yuxiu saying “Contact Yunzhou and see if the hill behind Lower River Bay Village is available. If not, buy it and build a factory.”
Using the factory as an excuse, he could legally clear trees, even using machinery to dig with explosives.
Though reforestation bans logging, Xu Shaochen is confident he’ll get legal approval for the village hill.
“What?!”
Yuxiu was surprised but replied “Boss, where are we building a factory?”
She was caught off guard by the sudden news.
“Don’t worry, just do as I say. Also, I want to visit Tai County. Adjust the schedule.”
Ending the call, Xu Shaochen’s lips curled into a cold smile.
Wang Zhanhang, think you’re hidden well? Let’s see if you can hide now! I won’t find you; I’ll make you come out.
Having money is so liberating.
Less than an hour after the call, he received a response.
The county was eager to welcome Xu Shaochen’s investment, easing the process.
Xu Shaochen just needed to send someone for procedures—the mountain’s use rights were his for decades.
Upon receiving the news, Xu Shaochen immediately arranged to personally visit Lower River Bay Village in Tai County.
Wang Zhanhang, are you waiting for me?
Don’t worry, I’m coming.
………………
“Achoo! Achoo!”
In the underground lab behind Lower River Bay Village, Wang Zhanhang sneezed several times.
“Damn, it’s really damp down here.”
Wang Zhanhang took a tissue from a nearby middle-aged man to wipe his nose.
“Young Master, after so many years here, we’re used to it.”
The middle-aged man, the head of lab security, replied calmly.
He led a security team of nearly eighty, dedicated to the small lab.
They’ve been here for years; not everyone could endure such isolation.
General people can’t handle the solitude.
Wang Zhanhang understood this well, patting the security head’s shoulder saying “I’ll tell my dad and make sure your efforts are recognized.”
“Young Master, it’s our duty. We’ve been in charge here and the research is almost complete. We wouldn’t leave now.”
The security head was resolute then asked “Young Master, the professor sent by headquarters died. What’s next for the research?”
Before he could finish, Wang Zhanhang interrupted “I’ve informed my father; a new person is on the way. Just wait.”
As they talked, they reached the stone chamber holding Chen Dongqiu.
“Young Master, Captain.”
Seeing them approach, the guards saluted.
Wang Zhanhang nodded in response “Open the door.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
The guard replied, unlocking the iron door.
Wang Zhanhang and the security head entered.
Chen Dongqiu sat weakly, eyes sunken, lips cracked, face bloodless.
His condition was due to the previous night’s torture and guard-imposed sleep deprivation.
Whenever he dozed, he was woken, deliberately denied rest to torment him.
“How was your sleep, Second Young Master Chen?”
Wang Zhanhang stood over him smiling maliciously.
