Chapter: 4610

Zhong Yunqiao's heart shuddered.

He had never known that Hong Yuanshan had another three-star warrior stationed here, and his current worries were even more intense.

After all, a three-star warrior's strength is formidable, and if he's used as an assassin, he can kill without leaving a trace. This also means that once I break with Hong Yuanshan, he might just kill me off without anyone knowing.

So Zhong Yunqiao couldn't help but shrink his neck, then quickly said: "Uncle, you're still being so polite with me! If there's anything I can help with, please just say it."

After finishing his sentence, he deliberately pretended to remember something and exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, right Uncle, Liu Jiahui is the one who paid three million dollars for some dark scheme to kill Chen Zhaochong, isn't that so? And if Lin Jiaotou is already a three-star warrior, can't he just take care of this matter himself?"

Hong Yuanshan sneered coldly: "You wouldn't have said this if I hadn't told you. Lin Jiaotou indeed has some interest in this matter, but he's been telling me that this is his personal affair, and if he succeeds, the three million dollars will be all his own."

Zhong Yunqiao furrowed his brow: "Is there such a thing? Then Lin Jiaotou is really too shameless! And since he's a member of our temple, how can he possibly act on his own without us?"

Hong Yuanshan was extremely annoyed and said: "Initially, I agreed to many of his demands in order to make peace with him and have him work for me. The most important thing is that he doesn't want to formally join the temple as a member, but rather takes on the role of Lin Jiaotou, receiving compensation from us while enjoying freedom of movement. I cannot stop him, so now he wants to take the three million dollars from Liu Jiahui for himself, and I'm powerless about it!"

Hong Yuanshan sneered coldly: "Ah..." Zhong Yunqiao furrowed his brow and exclaimed, "It seems that this person is indeed uncontrollable!"

As he spoke, he was thinking in his heart that since Lin Jiaotou had not formally joined the temple, and being fond of money, perhaps he could find an opportunity to contact him later, if he could use him for himself, which would be even better.

Hong Yuanshan was unaware of Zhong Yunqiao's thoughts, only seizing the opportunity to cry out: "Cloud Autumn, I originally thought that after this 3 million dollars is obtained, the temple's economic situation could have a relatively significant adjustment. However, it seems that this matter will likely fall through."

As he spoke, he looked up at Zhong Yunqiao with a serious expression: "Cloud Autumn, the difficulties facing the temple can only rely on your help for now!"

Zhong Yunqiao knew that he would definitely have to bleed again this time.

However, since his son had gone missing and he still needed Hong Yuanshan's help, he could only humbly ask: "Elder, what do you need me to do? As long as I can do it, I will do my best for you."

Hong Yuanshan nodded in satisfaction, lamenting: "You, Cloud Autumn, are the most knowledgeable about repaying favors!"

As he spoke, he let out a sigh and continued: "Ah! Lately, my frozen meat business has indeed seen some progress. However, this business is not as easy to do as I had imagined, especially in the process of transporting frozen meat into the port, where we have suffered significant losses. The private customs department has been closely monitoring this area, and we have lost a lot of goods. Therefore, I want you to help me register a shipping company with your reputation in the port city, so that my shipping company can definitely have a large operating space and help me transport some goods in the future."

However, since I've spent so many years on this frozen meat business and have only just managed to clear my name, you're now asking me to register a company and engage in smuggling? If anything goes wrong, I'll be done for!

Hong Yuanshan waved his hand reassuringly: "Cloud Autumn, don't get so worked up. I'm not saying you should personally handle this matter yourself. After registering the shipping company, you can just operate some legitimate businesses normally. I will arrange someone to sneak goods in with your shipments without any trouble. In normal circumstances, nothing will go wrong. But if anything does happen, you just need to find someone else to take the blame and let them deal with it. Just say they're doing it for personal gain, using the company's resources for smuggling. That way, you won't be in trouble."

Cloud Autumn listened with cold sweat dripping down his face: "Elder, I'm not unwilling to help out, but this kind of thing is too risky for me. And those media outlets on the island... they love to dig up and expose big news..."

As he spoke, Cloud Autumn gritted his teeth, feeling a deep sense of sorrow: "Elder, wouldn't it be better this way? Hagemeng is currently experiencing financial difficulties. Since I've found you, I will definitely not abandon you. For the next three years, I want to find a way to set aside three million US dollars for Hagemeng. As for what you do with that money, it's entirely up to your own preferences!"

Hong Yuanshan scowled and fidgeted with his fingers: "Cloud Autumn, oh! You're really filial! One sentence and you've given me three years, three million US dollars... the entire island can't find another son like you who is so filial to his old father."

When he got to this point, Hong Yuanshan's tone turned serious: "If I were just a doddering old fool, then that money would be enough for me to spend until my dying day. But you mustn't forget that there are many mouths to feed under my hand... That amount of money isn't even sufficient for me."

"Moreover," Hong Yuanshan continued, "I used to only worry about buying and selling goods, not shipping them out. Many profits were taken away by the people handling shipments. So I want to start up 20-30 routes myself, doing my own shipping and maximizing Hagemeng's profits! Buying a boat, hiring workers... how much more will it cost?"

Cloud Autumn's expression was one of shock: "Hong Yuanshan, you old scoundrel! You're not satisfied with three years and three million US dollars? You're asking me to kill myself for your belly?! Don't you have any shame at all?!"

But for now, Cloud Autumn didn't dare to confront Hong Yuanshan, biting his tongue instead: "Elder, okay, like this... three years, five million US dollars. This is my limit, I know the economy is not good right now, most businesses are struggling, and most assets have become non-performing assets. It's impossible for me to make a profit, let alone turn it around... My life is also very difficult!" JrNovels.com
