"Hmph! This is really outrageous, Lai Fei. Weren't you supposed to be tough? You couldn't even block a single punch just now, how embarrassing!"
Lai Hao slammed his right hand on the table, causing the teacup on it to jump with a loud clatter, spilling water everywhere. He was indeed quite furious; he had originally thought Zhou Yake was just a little lamb, but who would have thought that in the end, a sudden appearance of a kid would make him lose face so badly.
Lai Fei's face turned bright red as he said, "It's not that I can't fight; it's that kid who is too strong."
"If you can't win, you can't win. Why are there so many excuses?"
"You!"
Lai Fei stood up abruptly, realizing that Lai Hao was blaming him for the situation.
"This whole thing is unfair. You wanted to use that house to make money, so you forced me to go along with you. Now that we can't get it, you're blaming me?"
Lai Hao shot a cold glare at Lai Fei and said, "Don't act like you're a virtuous woman and I'm some kind of whore. If things had gone well, would you have shared the money?"
Lai Fei was so angry that his face trembled as he said, "I can only share 100,000; isn't that still money?"
"Oh? Are you dissatisfied? If you're not happy, you can get lost! 100,000? Is that too little for you? How long would it take you to earn that? Right now, all you're doing is showing your face and talking a big game, and you're still not satisfied! If you have what it takes, I'll let you handle this matter yourself. If you can pull it off, I won't ask for anything and will just stand by to applaud you."
Lai Fei was left speechless by Lai Hao's tirade and didn't know how to retort. This matter was indeed difficult to handle; even if Zhou Yake agreed, completing the transfer procedures would be quite a hassle under the current policies. Not to mention the most crucial issue of negotiating compensation later on—this was far beyond what he could manage.
Moreover, even if he managed to secure the house and placate everyone else, what about Lai Hao? Lai Hao had long considered this house his own. Would Lai Hao let him off then? He knew very well that Lai Hao was not someone to be trifled with; he might end up dead without even knowing how it happened.
There had always been a rumor in the Lai Family that Lai Fangming's death had something to do with Lai Hao.
Throughout this process, there were eyes on every aspect of the situation; if he handled it himself, he might end up with nothing at all.
"Alright, alright, we're all on the same side here. Why are we arguing? Let's sit down and talk things over."
Seeing the situation escalate, Lai Shuzhen immediately stepped in to mediate. The plan to target Zhou Yake's house had been agreed upon by the three of them. The comment made earlier in Zhou Yake's yard about whether or not Fang Ming was involved had also been carefully orchestrated.
"Hmph!"
Lai Fei sat down heavily and started smoking with his head down.
Glancing at Lai Fei, Lai Hao said, "The most important thing now is to get Zhou Yake to agree quickly, to avoid any prolonged issues. I've received news that the old city renovation is about to start, and if we don't handle this soon, it will be troublesome. Besides us, Zhong Tiedong is also keeping an eye on that house. It's been him who has made it impossible for Zhou Yake to rent out her property all these years."
"Zhong Tiedong is just a thug; what’s there to be afraid of?"
Lai Fei curled his lip and sneered. It's true that Zhong Tiedong has a group of people backing him, but others might be afraid of him; he himself was not.
With a sideways glance at Lai Fei, Lai Hao said, "You can deal with Zhong Tiedong, but what about his backer, Dragon Head Brother? Can you handle him?"
Lai Fei couldn't help but shrink back, unable to utter a word.
"Hmph! If you don't have such a big brain, then stop boasting."
Lai Hao glared at Lai Fei again; just now, Lai Fei had dared to confront him. If he didn't teach him a lesson, wouldn't it be chaos?
"The key issue now is that the house is under Zhou Yake's name. It was easier before, but with that young man backing her up, she's become bolder. This won't be easy."
Lai Hao's brows furrowed tightly. Zhou Yake has a very weak personality, and it was precisely because of this that he had previously brought people to pressure her. In his plan, he first intended to use the clan leader's name to intimidate Zhou Yake—she would definitely be unwilling to let him manage the house—and then he would offer a higher price to take the property.
As for Lai Fei and Lai Shuzhen's involvement, it was purely to put more pressure on Zhou Yake to facilitate his actions. However, he hadn't anticipated that an Ancient Sorcerer would suddenly appear midway through; his plan to make an offer had not even been implemented before it fell apart.
This was hundreds of thousands or even millions!
How could this not make Lai Hao furious?
Lai Shuzhen's eyes turned as she said, "Well... I have a method, but after it's done, I need a bigger share."
Lai Hao listened and slammed the table with a loud "bang," saying, "Are you all rebelling today? Fifty thousand is still not enough? Then you can get the hell out of here. I'll find someone else to do this."
Lai Shuzhen immediately lowered his head and smiled, saying, "Well... well... I was just saying it. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I won't ask for more, absolutely no more."
"Hmph! Speak! What ideas do you have?"
"It's like this. That pretty boy suddenly appeared at Zhou Yake's house. We can say she has taken a man, intending to swallow that house. Didn't she also say it was left for Lai Chen? Then we have plenty of ways to go about this. You are the clan leader; at that time, you can come out and reclaim the house, and it will be reasonable."
Lai Hao's eyes slowly lit up. It turned out that his claim of helping Lai Chen manage the house was just a pretext because it was fundamentally untenable. The real goal was to say he was willing to buy the house after Zhou Yake refused.
But now it seemed this might not be a bad plan.
He could certainly make a big deal out of this, saying that Zhou Yake wanted to remarry with the property originally left for Lai Chen. In such a situation, his identity as clan leader would play a significant role, and managing that house could easily be justified. As for what would happen after taking over management, wouldn't that be up to him?
"Good! This is a great plan! You immediately arrange for someone to spread this news. Hmph, let's see what Zhou Yake has to say about this!"
Lai Hao slapped his thigh hard, excitement appearing on his old face. He felt his heart racing quickly, experiencing a sense of revival like a withered tree in spring.
"Rest assured, I'm good at this kind of thing. I guarantee that within two days, everyone in this area will know about it. That bitch won't be able to explain herself even if she had a mouth all over her body."
Lai Shuzhen grinned widely, revealing two gold teeth he had just fixed yesterday, shining brightly.
