130: Chapter 130 Strange Dreams

Early morning, at a secret research institute in Qiantang City.

For the group of people inside, it was destined to be a sleepless night.

Even Qin Jiazheng, who had seen countless brutal scenes, felt his legs trembling slightly.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Su, were you really... fighting a fellow like this?"

Su Nange: "Damn, I really have to thank you guys for arriving in time."

"Otherwise, I don't know if I would have been able to see tomorrow's—no, today's sun!"

A dozen soldiers, hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

The killer before them was now nothing but a pile of mangled flesh.

However, according to the Armed Police Officers at the scene, they really thought they had seen a ghost!

If it hadn't been for the sufficient firepower, there's no telling how today would have ended.

One young officer had almost been bitten by the monster.

Fortunately, Su Nange reacted quickly and saved the man.

Qin Jiazheng simply couldn't believe such things existed in this world.

From the killer's appearance—well, he no longer had an appearance. But it was certain that he was definitely not Chinese.

"Mr. Su, did you find out where this guy came from?"

Su Nange shook his head: "I'm not an immortal."

"Besides, what kind of information would a professional killer like this have? Even his code name is probably known by very few people."

"However, I suspect there's a significant organization behind him."

Qin Jiazheng: "How so?"

"That kind of serum is definitely not something an ordinary institution could develop."

Qin Jiazheng nodded in agreement.

"I must report this immediately; it's simply too terrifying!"

"However, I hope Mr. Su won't breathe a word of this. It's better to leave this matter to us."

"Otherwise, if the public finds out, it might cause quite a panic."

Su Nange thought to himself: That's for the best. This is something I really can't solve myself.

Qin Jiazheng: "Then Mr. Su, go back and get some rest. Today's work has been hard on you! On behalf of the police force, I express my gratitude."

Su Nange smiled: "You're welcome, we're on the same side. Just call me if anything comes up."

Qin Jiazheng shook hands with Su Nange and let him depart first.

Su Nange returned home and took a cold shower.

Yet, his mind still couldn't calm down.

He didn't even open his game today.

He didn't understand how a perfectly fine human being could turn into such a terrifying monster after being injected with a serum.

Before this, the strongest enemy he had encountered was none other than Blade, who worked under Yuan's father.

But today's fellow... even if two Blades attacked together, they probably wouldn't have that kind of oppressive presence.

Are there really other players in this world? Or is someone in reality truly conducting secret research?

Thinking these thoughts, Su Nange drifted off into a groggy sleep.

In his dream, he seemed to hear a strange conversation.

It was a woman's voice, sounding very urgent: "Tingting, now, only you can return to that starting point!!!"

"You must take this thing back~~"

When he woke up in the morning, Su Nange tried hard to recall something while driving.

But no matter how hard he tried to remember that dream from last night, it was a total blank.

However, a piece of news from the Voice of Traffic on the car radio broke Su Nange's train of thought.

Due to the rapid development of the city, residential and industrial wastewater is increasing daily.

Qiantang City Investment Company has been forced to restart the No. 4 Sewage Treatment Plant project.

This has caused big trouble for Runfa Group's Cloud Realm Heavenly City project, a luxury residential complex in the east of the city that is about to go on sale.

This channel will continue to follow the story for you.

Su Nange gave a cold laugh: "Li Runfa, let's see how you handle this move!"

As Su Nange expected, Li Runfa began cursing loudly at the company's morning briefing today.

"Damn that City Investment Company! I'm going to destroy those bastards!"

This news was undoubtedly a bombshell for them.

Perhaps the market hadn't reacted yet.

But according to the internal statistics from the sales company, many prospective customers had already sent inquiries to verify the news.

They were asking if a sewage plant was really going to be built.

If so, they definitely wouldn't be buying the houses.

The Chief Financial Officer of Runfa Group, General Manager Jin, also had a solemn expression.

The cost of acquiring this Plot 78 was already significant.

When factoring in construction, decoration, amenities, marketing, financing, and taxes, the cost per square meter was likely close to 60,000 Yuan.

The total investment for the entire complex was nearly ten billion Yuan in costs alone!

If sales were truly blocked, it would be a disaster for Runfa Group!

And that wasn't even the worst part!

If the news from City Investment was confirmed, it wouldn't just be a matter of the project breaking even.

Runfa Group's stock price would also take a heavy hit!

Li Runfa no longer had his usual refined appearance. He could not hide his boiling rage!

He threw out a sentence: "You all think of a counter-strategy; I'm going to find Mayor Lü!"

With that, the conference room door was slammed shut.

However, as Li Runfa rushed toward the municipal government, he had to call countless people before finally reaching Mayor Lü.

Lü Guangming had just finished a meeting: "Runfa, what's the rush? Let's talk about it tonight."

Li Runfa had no choice but to return home.

In stark contrast to Li Runfa's anxious state was Su Nange, who was currently sitting in Wanqing's office.

"Hehe, I came as soon as I heard the radio. President Zhou, given our relationship, why didn't you let me celebrate in advance?"

"I'm busy to death with year-end work. Can you stop bothering me for once?"

"However, I should give you a heads-up about this matter."

"After all, the investment in Cloud Realm Heavenly City is too large. It affects the core of one of our city's major taxpayers. We at City Investment won't be able to withstand the pressure from above for long."

"The city definitely won't approve the reconstruction of the sewage plant. If I were Lü Guangming, I wouldn't approve it either. You should understand the logic."

Su Nange didn't feel any disappointment; instead, he immediately affirmed Wanqing's stance.

"I understand, I won't make things difficult for you. This current news is already enough~"

Su Nange returned to the company and glanced at Ding Quxiao nearby.

He sent a message on the computer: "Shall I drive you home tonight?"

"Okay."

In City, there was no place more private than Su Nange's private car.

Su Nange said to Sister Ding in the passenger seat: "I've already made my move. How are things on your end?"

Ding Quxiao pulled a document out of her bag.

"This is Runfa Group's financial report; it contains everything about the company's situation."

Su Nange took it and placed it on the back seat.

Then he took the initiative to reach out and take one of Ding Quxiao's hands.

It felt so good to the touch.

"Sister Ding, thank you for helping me. Of course, I want to help you too."

Ding Quxiao smiled: "Don't worry, I won't feel any guilt. I said it before—I don't want to live this kind of life anymore."

"I don't want to live in pain for the rest of my life."

"Besides, this financial report isn't some secret. Any shareholder has the right to review it."

Su Nange nodded: "Good. Now, just leave the rest to me."

In the evening, after 9 o'clock.

In a hidden club within the Wetland Park.

Li Runfa sat across from a man wearing an administrative jacket and black-rimmed glasses.

The man took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Why didn't your wife come?"

Li Runfa was already in a bad mood, and hearing the other party ask this again...

He still tried his best to restrain himself: "Leader, you know she probably won't come here in this lifetime."

The man chuckled. The laughter was filled with a 'saucy' scent.

"What's the matter? Why so urgent? You know how many meetings I have in a day."

No matter Li Runfa's net worth, he had to lower himself before this man.

He refilled the other's tea and said patiently: "I wouldn't come to trouble Mayor Lü for an ordinary matter."

Mayor Lü just nodded slightly.

Li Runfa understood and gave the man a full report.

After listening, a flash of hard-to-detect craftiness passed behind Lü Guangming's lenses.

He spoke slowly: "Runfa, I remember reminding you back then not to touch this piece of land."

"And now? My words have come true. You can't plant a landmine for yourself in anything you do, because you never know which day it will explode."

"The leader is right to scold me; I was too eager for quick success. But now, I can only hope the leader will help me one more time!"

Lü Guangming shook his head: "I'm afraid this won't be easy to handle!"

"You know about Lin Xiongwei's downfall, right?"

Li Runfa nodded.

"And do you know who calls the shots at City Investment now?"

Li Runfa had naturally done his homework: "It's Zhou Wanqing."

Lü Guangming smiled: "Hehe, since you know that, do you think that girl will listen to me?"

Li Runfa: "But you are the Mayor after all! No matter how strong Zhou Wanqing's background is, she's just a division-level cadre."

Li Runfa's tone gradually became pleading.

"Mayor Lü, you must help me. This land doesn't just affect our group's safety. It also affects the city's indicators!"

Mayor Lü thought for a long time before slowly putting down his teacup.

Then, he spoke: "By the way, I haven't seen your wife in a long time. When will you arrange a gathering?"

Li Runfa's fists clenched tight, and his features twisted together in a grimace~~
