Supremely Talented Tyrant

A competent entrepreneur's ultimate goal is money, and they prioritize interest above all. They don't crave money; they simply relish the thrill of making it.

But it was also because Chen Zhiyan's father didn't sell that piece of land that it is now worth so much more. Just a few years ago, it was only ten thousand per square meter, but now it's up to one hundred thousand per square meter, a world of difference.

If the old man had sold the land back then, the loss would have been huge, at least several billion.

"So you're saying your cousin was being so attentive to your dad and offering to treat him just because he was after that piece of land?"

That would explain everything.

"Although he didn't say so, I feel that's the case." Chen Zhiyan nodded. Otherwise, she wouldn't believe her materialistic second uncle and his family would have voluntarily offered to treat her father.

When her dad was sick, Zhiyan had asked them to lend a few tens of thousands of yuan for medical expenses, and they refused, even though her second uncle and cousin had an annual income of tens of millions. A mere few tens of thousands was just a day's wages for them, but they simply wouldn't give it.

If it hadn't been for relying on their family's wealth, her second uncle would still be selling vegetables in the market to this day. Now that they had money, they acted as if they didn't know anyone. Zhiyan was infuriated just thinking about it.

"Do you trust them?" Hao Jian asked with a smile.

"Whether I trust them or not, my dad has already been taken away by them. I can't just bring him back at this time, can I?" Chen Zhiyan said with some difficulty. Although she knew Hao Jian meant well, the back-and-forth would be troublesome if she took her dad out of the hospital now.

Old folks with serious illnesses can't withstand such commotion.

"Do you intend to let them just take your dad's land?" Hao Jian asked with a smile.

"This…" Zhiyan hesitated; that piece of land was her dad's life, and she certainly didn't want to easily let it go.

Hao Jian turned his head, his tone meaningful, "Then you can't owe them this favor!"

Chen Zhiyan's expression became somewhat blank, as it was clear that Hao Jian seemed quite confident.

"By the way, besides you and your dad, does anyone else know you still have that piece of land?" Hao Jian asked curiously. Zhiyan's cousins couldn't have known about it from the start, otherwise they wouldn't have maintained such an attitude towards Zhiyan all this time. If so, there must be a reason.

"This… there shouldn't be anyone else." Chen Zhiyan was also puzzled by this question; it should be that no one else knew.

"What about your ex-husband?" Hao Jian suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiyan's expression froze, and she had an epiphany, "He definitely knows!"

Hao Jian sneered, "What's the relationship between him and your cousin?"

"They hang out together all the time!" Chen Zhiyan said with an unsightly face; had Hao Jian not mentioned it, she wouldn't have realized it herself.

"It seems your ex-husband still isn't planning to let you go." Hao Jian's smile turned somewhat sinister. Although the other party hadn't taken action personally, they had incited Zhiyan's relatives to try to grab her properties, making her family fight among themselves. Such behavior was even more ruthless.

At that moment, Zhiyan was both furious and shocked, angry at the other party's shameless behavior, and shocked that Hao Jian could see through their intentions. It was incredible!

"Let's go, let's deal with your relatives first, and then confront your ex-husband!" Hao Jian said with a cold laugh.

…

"Uncle, look at you, so frail and unable to take care of yourself, why didn't you talk to us about your difficulties earlier?" In front of Chen Dexing, a polite young man was saying with an apologetic smile, dressed in a suit and tie, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, appearing clean-cut.

"Yeah, big brother, you should have told me if there was a problem. When people get sick, they need treatment, you can't just let it drag on." Another middle-aged man was also hypocritically saying.

These two were Chen Zifan and his father, Chen Dexiu, Zhiyan's cousins and second uncle. A few days ago, they brought Zhiyan here for treatment and then began to warmly tend to Chen Dexing, behaving pretentiously.

Chen Dexing looked up indifferently at the pretentious father and son, then said, "I know what you want, but you can stop dreaming. I will absolutely not give you that plot of land."

Chen Dexing was no fool; if he were, he wouldn't have become the chairman of a conglomerate.

From the moment Chen Zifan and his son appeared, he had already known what they wanted to do.

Therefore, no matter what Chen Zifan and his son did, there would not be a trace of emotion in him. If Chen Zifan and his son had offered their help when he first fell ill, perhaps Chen Dexing might have considered it. Unfortunately, at that time, Chen Zifan and his son had refused him, unwilling to lend even tens of thousands of yuan, and they had even insulted Chen Zhiyan. Chen Dexing had always kept these events close to his heart, and he also harbored resentment toward Chen Zifan and his father.

If not for him, Chen Zifan and his father would not have the qualifications to live in a mansion and drive sports cars, yet in the end, they were so ungrateful.

"Uncle, you're being unreasonable. We're not asking for your property for free. Look at you now, so poor and destitute, and with no money to invest in real estate over there—isn't it a waste to leave it empty? How about we give you ten million, and you sell us that piece of land?" Chen Zifan said with a smile.

Chen Dexing snorted angrily, "A piece of land worth billions, and you want me to sell it to you for ten million? Are you out of your mind? Or do you think I'm as brain-damaged as you?"

Hearing this, Chen Zifan became unhappy. His father had never scolded him like that. How dared this good-for-nothing old man speak to him in such a way?

"Uncle, look at the bigger picture. You're penniless and seriously ill. If you don't have some money on hand, how are you going to get treatment? Instead of holding onto a useless piece of land that you can neither eat nor drink from, it's better to take this money and retire in peace. Isn't that right?" Chen Zifan said.

Chen Dexing just sneered and lost even the interest to talk to Chen Zifan.

Seeing this, Chen Zifan couldn't help frowning deeply. "Uncle, ten million is already a lot. Now that you've become a commoner, you should live like one and stop daydreaming. You'll never rise again. Rather than letting the land go to waste in your hands, it's better to let my father and I develop it. After its successful development, we will give you five percent of the company's shares. This way, you won't have to worry about your future livelihood."

"We're family, we won't cheat you!"

"Not cheat me? Others are offering ten billion, and you claim not to be cheating me with ten million?" Chen Dexing sneered. If this wasn't cheating, what was?

Chen Zifan also felt embarrassed, knowing that his offer had been too low.

Chen Dexiu stared at Chen Zifan, irritated by how greedy he was. Chen Dexing wasn't stupid; nobody would agree for a mere ten million.

"Brother, don't listen to him. The kid drank last night, and his brain's still foggy, spouting nonsense," Chen Dexiu hurriedly explained. It was crucial not to let Chen Dexing feel resentful toward them; otherwise, there would be no point in even thinking about the acquisition.

Chen Dexing snorted and couldn't be bothered to look at Chen Dexiu again.

"Big brother, we're brothers. I won't cheat you either. I'll give you twenty billion and add five percent of the company's shares. Sell me that piece of land. How about that?" Chen Dexiu stated his terms. Unlike Chen Zifan, he wasn't foolish. He knew dealing with Chen Dexing was not easy. Being too stingy wouldn't sway this crafty old fox.

"You also know you don't have the money to start work on this land, which is like clutching a treasure chest that's been locked. Even if you know its immeasurable value, you can't open it, can you? It's better to let go and sell the chest to me. With those twenty billion, you and Chen Zhiyan could live without worries or hardship for the rest of your lives. Isn't that good?" Chen Dexiu had to admit, he was much smarter than Chen Zifan. His emotional appeal and logical reasoning had indeed begun to sway Chen Dexing.

Chen Dexing knew his time was limited, and even if he recovered, he probably wouldn't live long. His own death didn't concern him, but he worried about Chen Zhiyan being left alone and helpless.

Chen Dexiu's offer of twenty billion wasn't exactly high, but it was certainly not small. Indeed, it was enough for Chen Zhiyan to live a carefree life.

Chen Dexing also wanted to leave something for Chen Zhiyan before he died, ensuring her future would be free of worry.

Seeing Chen Dexing hesitating, Chen Dexiu seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. "Big brother, do you even need to think about it? Others may offer more, but it's unlikely they'd offer as much as I have. Even if they did, it would probably only be an extra ten billion. But you should remember that I'm offering five percent of Chen Dexing's company shares. Just the annual dividends would be up to ten million, which equates to a long-term wealth. If you're still worried, I can even throw in a house and a car for free, ensuring she'll have a place to live and be above ten thousand people!"

"Dad!" Upon hearing that Chen Dexiu was offering so much to Chen Zhiyan, Chen Zifan immediately became discontent, as this would entail significant expenses.

"Don't worry, I have a plan," Chen Dexiu said with a cunning smile, whispering to Chen Zifan.

Seeing this, Chen Zifan brightened up, knowing his father was planning to trick someone. Underneath these boundless benefits must lie a trap that even Chen Zifan was unaware of. If Chen Dexing dared to agree, he would be cheated out of everything.

"Big brother, what do you think?" Chen Dexiu asked Chen Dexing with a smile.

"Not much!"

As Chen Dexing wavered whether to agree, a haughty voice suddenly rang out from not too far away. Hao Jian and Chen Zhiyan appeared on the scene together.
