Chapter 909: Chapter 849: Conspiracy
After leaving the restaurant, Liu Hun drove straight back home with Li Dandan, then took the elderly couple to stay in the villa.
As for the matters concerning Han Yunfei, Liu Hun was no longer worried. Even though he didn’t say a word in the restaurant earlier, Yang Huairen and Hu Hongsheng would surely take good care of the elderly couple.
This way, neither Liu Hun nor Li Dandan had anything to worry about.
"Liu Hun, isn’t this incident getting a bit too big? After all, we’ve offended someone. I fear that in the future..." On the way back to the Provincial City, Li Dandan voiced her concern to Liu Hun.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hun smiled nonchalantly and said, "You don’t need to worry about that. Included in the email I sent to Yang Huairen were all the evidence of crimes committed over the years. As long as he’s not foolish, he will seize the opportunity to bring them down; with Yang Huairen and Hu Hongsheng watching over them, your parents won’t face any issues. But you..."
"What about me?" Li Dandan looked at Liu Hun with some confusion.
"I plan to send you abroad soon. Staying in the country, you’ll always have security risks." Liu Hun glanced at Li Dandan with a complex expression.
Ultimately, this situation was his fault.
"Is it because of the things you told me on the mountain before?" Li Dandan’s face turned pale upon hearing Liu Hun’s words.
Having grown up in the country for so many years, the sudden prospect of leaving was difficult for Li Dandan to adjust to.
"Correct. Although the appearance of Black Shark was merely an accident, you’ve seen that my world is fraught with danger. Even now, no one knows, but I cannot predict future events. For your safety, it’s better you go abroad and perhaps help manage some of my businesses. Of course, if you don’t want to, I can also find you a good job overseas." Liu Hun sighed and answered seriously, looking at Li Dandan.
"Then when do I leave?" Li Dandan knew Liu Hun had made up his mind, something she couldn’t change; her expression showed a mix of bitterness.
"Barring any surprises, it should be within a few days. By then, someone will be coming back, and they’ll take you out. Before that, you can think carefully about which country to go to." Liu Hun replied.
"I want to help you manage the business." Li Dandan gritted her teeth and ultimately answered Liu Hun seriously.
Seeing that Li Dandan had already decided, Liu Hun didn’t say much further; he nodded and agreed.
"Since you’ve made your decision, let me explain a bit about the business beforehand. Remember the human-simulation technology you researched earlier? When you go to other countries, take it with you, then set up a company to sell it. You’ll hold a 20% stake." Liu Hun said this with a calm demeanor as if discussing a trivial matter.
On the contrary, Li Dandan’s face was full of shock after hearing Liu Hun’s words. The human-simulation technology was a breakthrough on a global scale. Logically, such a thing should first be handed over to the country, with profits considered secondly.
Yet Liu Hun’s first thought upon researching this was to make money.
"This could be something that benefits humanity. Are we really going to do this?" Li Dandan hesitated aloud.
"I know what you’re thinking, you blame me for not handing this over to the country, right? But do you know the death of the old man and mine back then was due to those in positions above us? Some things you don’t quite understand; I don’t blame you. I can only tell you now that the situation domestically resembles a whirlpool—it’s not something you and I can enter easily. Handing such things over isn’t necessarily a good idea. Given all that, why don’t we make a big profit before anything else?" Liu Hun paused then.
He knew that such thoughts were not something Li Dandan could accept immediately, but since she was involved, he had to slowly teach her these matters; from this moment, Li Dandan would no longer be just an ordinary citizen.
"Regardless of what others say, I’m not a Saint nor a villain; I just seek to have a clear conscience. Some truths you might not understand now, but since you’re stepping into this, you’ll ultimately understand someday." Liu Hun said calmly.
...
By the time they returned to the Provincial City, it was almost evening. Liu Hun let Li Dandan go home first, while he drove towards a bar.
Standing at the bar entrance, Liu Hun looked at the sd bar in front of him, paused for a moment, then strode inside.
As he walked into the bar, a burst of noise instantly surged into his ears from all directions. Liu Hun glanced around briefly, then headed towards a corner.
"Brother Tian."
"Young master." As they came up to the table, Yun Bo and Wenhua immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Since we’re on someone else’s turf, let’s take it easy. How have things been these past couple of days?" Liu Hun sat down, nodded to the two, and asked.
As soon as this question was brought up, Wenhua’s face lit up with excitement, and he said to Liu Hun, "Brother Tian, you wouldn’t believe it. Just because of that shipment issue, in just two or three days, the Hongxing Gang and De Yun Society have clashed at least ten times. Although many times it was just small skirmishes, their conflict has almost reached a peak."
"What’s going on with Old Ding’s side?" Liu Hun nodded, seeming to have expected more or less the same.
"Director Ding has also done a lot in the past few days, almost visiting every day, making both the De Yun Society and the Hongxing Gang a bit overwhelmed. However, the higher-ups have pressured Director Ding; if this continues, I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold on much longer," Yun Bo replied to Liu Hun with a slightly furrowed brow.
"Brother Tian, that’s not a problem at all. As long as I tell my uncle, no one will bother Director Ding. If they keep at it for a couple more days, those bastards might go insane." Wenhua seemed unconcerned about the issue and continued speaking to Liu Hun.
Hearing Wenhua’s words, a cold glint flashed in Liu Hun’s eyes as he said in a chilly tone, "A few days ago, while I was in Tonghuai County, because of a call from you, I ended up being taken to the police station by the police."
"What? That bastard Yang Huairen dared to have the police take you to the station? Damn it, not following what I told him!" Wenhua immediately became somewhat angry upon hearing Liu Hun’s words.
"No need, it was just a misunderstanding. At the time, Yang Huairen didn’t pay attention, so he called the police. It was just a misunderstanding, and I’ve already dealt with it. The reason I’m bringing this up is not to blame you but to warn you. It’s true that you can use your uncle’s connections, but don’t rely on them too much. And do you know what’s going on with your subordinates?" Liu Hun said coldly.
"What’s going on?" Wenhua looked at Liu Hun with some confusion, not understanding what he meant.
"The current domestic situation is not as simple as you think. All of us are just pawns. If we’re not careful, not only you and me, but even your uncle can be killed by those people at any time..." Liu Hun truthfully informed Wenhua about his subordinates’ situation.
He also indirectly reminded him that his uncle was not a good person. Although Wenhua was somewhat shocked by these revelations, he wasn’t a fool.
Back then, his uncle sent him to do these things and also provided him with these puppets as subordinates, obviously with ulterior motives. If necessary in the future, he would undoubtedly become the first sacrificial lamb.
After all, having been in contact with these people for a long time, if he discovered anything suspicious, even if they were relatives, they wouldn’t spare him.
"Bro... Brother Tian, how could it be like this? I initially thought it was just as simple as claiming some territory..." Wenhua’s face turned a bit grim.
"Although I forced you to follow me back then, at least I wouldn’t risk your life lightly. But I’m afraid your uncle might not be the same. I didn’t have to tell you these things, but people need a bit of conscience to live." Liu Hun looked deeply at Wenhua and sighed.
"Bro... Brother Tian, aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell my uncle all of this and betray you?" After a long pause, Wenhua gritted his teeth and asked Liu Hun.
"If you tell him, both I and you will die. You’ve already stepped into this, and leaving is impossible, so your only chance is to follow me. I’ve said what I have to say; how you choose is up to you." After Liu Hun finished, he turned his gaze to Yun Bo and continued, "Yun Bo, is tonight’s big show set up?"
"Young master, I’ve spread the word that the girl named Yang Jie is coming to the bar, so I believe Hong Wenqiang’s son and the young master of De Yun Society will both show up." Yun Bo nodded to Liu Hun, seemingly unfazed by the earlier scene.
"I didn’t expect both young masters to be interested in the same girl. I’m curious about what kind of girl could attract such characters simultaneously," Liu Hun said, a look of curiosity in his eyes.
"Bro... Brother Tian, are we here tonight just for this matter?" Wenhua suppressed his inner shock and looked at Liu Hun with some surprise.
"Why else would you think we’re here if not for this? A party?" Liu Hun laughed, unconcerned.
"Yeah, Brother Tian is so busy; naturally, he doesn’t have time to come to the bar just to party and flirt..." Wenhua laughed awkwardly.
In his heart, however, he kept pondering the things Liu Hun had just told him.
To be honest, since following Liu Hun, he had been treated well, and if things were indeed as Liu Hun said, telling his uncle now would certainly mean his death.
Anyway, since he’d die either way, if following Liu Hun could lead to a more comfortable and prolonged life, he didn’t mind at all.
