When Ye Fan and Song Hongyan were having an honest conversation, Mrs. Duanmu was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue in the Xinguo Grand Buddhist Temple.
Today is the fifteenth day, so Mrs. Duanmu came over early to burn incense and sincerely pray for the Buddha’s blessing as always.
And this time, Mrs. Duanmu not only knelt for a long time, but also repeated her wish countless times.
She hoped that Brother Duanmu would die violently as soon as possible.
She hoped that Song Hongyan and Ye Fan would die in the new country.
She hopes that the Credit Dao Man will be victorious.
She hopes that the Duanmu family will survive this crisis.
She hopes that the Duanmu family will move to a bigger stage.
She hoped that joining the landlord would be the right choice...
In short, the old lady Duanmu recited ten wishes in one breath, hoping that the Buddha would fulfill them because of her long years of piety.
Unprecedented greed also reveals unprecedented fear.
Ever since she promised Mr. K to join the Landowners Association, Mrs. Duanmu felt a little uneasy, always feeling that she was seeking the skin of a tiger.
Mr. K gave her the impression that he was not only smiling but also had a sense of eating people without spitting out their bones, which made the old lady Duanmu fearful.
It's just that she has no way back, so she can only rely on Buddha's blessing to comfort herself.
Then, Mrs. Duanmu looked at the jade bracelet on her left hand.
This is what Mr. K left for her. If she encounters any danger, she only needs to break the jade stone and someone will appear to save her.
Members of the Landowners Association will also try their best to help her overcome the difficulties.
This gave Mrs. Duanmu some comfort.
"mom--"
"You've been kneeling all morning, and you're almost done. There are people coming and going here, and it's still filled with smoke, which is not good for your health."
"Let's go back earlier."
"And if these things like Buddha are really that effective, with your piety, this disaster would not have happened."
While the old lady Duanmu was turning her thoughts, a middle-aged man ran over and squatted on the futon next to her and opened his mouth.
The fourth son, Duanmuhua.
Like Duanmuzhong, he is also a playboy, but he is addicted to gambling.
Almost all the annual dividends are thrown away on the gambling table, and Dihao Bank has been asked to redeem people more than once, so the old lady Duanmu hates him as much as iron.
"Shut up, what do you know?"
The old lady Duanmu glared at her son and almost slapped him:
"Don't slander the Buddha!"
Then she repeatedly accused the Buddha: "The Buddha is above me, Duanmuhua is ignorant, please don't be offended."
"That's what it is."
Duanmuhua rubbed his head: "You come here twice a month and more than twenty times a year, rain or shine."
"Every time I come, I kneel for hours and donate countless amounts of sesame oil."
"But what did the Buddha give you?"
"Two idiots became Song Hongyan's followers, the third brother was killed by Ye Fan and the others, and Duanmu Qian's whereabouts are unknown now."
"More than a dozen of our industries and assets have also been hit hard."
"Almost overnight I went back to five years ago."
"The losses are heavy!"
"If the Buddha had a spirit, how could the Duanmu family be so disgraced?"
"Do you think we are not pious enough, or did Song Hongyan and the others give us more money for sesame oil?"
Duanmuhua spoke unabashedly and even raised his head to look at Buddha with contempt.
"Fourth child, shut up. Shut up, don't you understand?"
Old Mrs. Duanmu's face turned cold: "If you don't shut up, I will throw you out."
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about Buddha anymore."
Duanmuhua was not afraid of his mother's anger and continued to speak carelessly:
"Let me tell you something that makes you happy."
"Song Hongyan was recently beaten to a pulp by Li Changjun, Jin Zhilin was burned, and the beach villa was swept into pieces."
"Song Hongyan went around asking for help, but she couldn't get it, and her men and horses were depleted a lot. She was at the end of her rope."
"Li Changjun knew that the Duanmu family and Song Hongyan were enemies, so he took me out of the Lihua Casino to the Golden Number for breakfast."
"Tsk tsk, caviar, red vinegar jam, musk coffee, two thousand dollar donuts... everything."
"This is the best and richest breakfast I have ever had in my life."
Duanmuhua marveled: "It's really a delicious food in the world."
"Li Changjun invited you to breakfast this morning?"
Old Mrs. Duanmu had a joking look on her face: "He would treat a loser like you to breakfast?"
"Mom, what do you mean by this? Although I like gambling, I have nothing to do with being a loser."
Duanmuhua responded awkwardly: "Besides, what Li Changjun appreciates is that I am careless and straightforward."
"That's true. Li Changjun likes to make friends with people from all walks of life."
Old Mrs. Duanmu said calmly: "What does he want from you?"
"He wants to invite you to have a meal with me at noon."
Duanmuhua hurriedly took over the topic: "He is planning to join forces with you to give Song Hongyan the final blow."
"Mom, this is a good opportunity for us, don't waste it."
There was a hint of excitement on Duanmuhua's face, as if he saw Song Hongyan's violent death and the Duanmu family's crisis was resolved.
"A joint attack?"
Duanmu's eyes lit up slightly when she heard this: "Li Changjun personally invited you?"
While she was a little excited about the news, she was also impressed by Mr. K's ability and that things were going according to their script.
Duanmuhua nodded: "Yes, he called in person."
"He said that the Li family could actually kill Song Hongyan, but it would just take a little longer."
"But Li Changjun is eager to let Song Hongyan and the others die violently, and at the same time prevent them from jumping over the wall and biting others, so he wants to get an extra helper."
"He knew about the conflict between the Duanmu family and Song Hongyan, so he wanted to bring us together to stab Song Hongyan."
"The two parties will definitely be able to kill each other with one move."
"This can avoid long nights and many dreams, and also prevent Song Hongyan from dying together."
"Li Changjun also promised that after killing Song Hongyan, the profits will be divided 50-50."
"Li Changjun will also assist the Duanmu family and kill all the Duanmu brothers so that the Duanmu family can be saved once and for all."
"Mom, this is a good opportunity. I think we should agree."
"A quick resolution will not only bring benefits, but also reduce our losses, so we don't have to worry about it every day."
He also took out his mobile phone, which showed Li Changjun's phone number and nearly an hour's worth of calls.
He also hid a word, and Li Changjun also promised that if he promotes cooperation between the two companies to deal with Song Hongyan, Li Changjun will give him a reward of 100 million.
"This Mr. Li Chang is a bit interesting."
"Victory is imminent, but for the sake of complete victory, the Duanmu family can join in and share half of the fruits."
Old Mrs. Duanmu gently turned the bracelet on her wrist, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
Mr. K told her that in this round, the Duanmu family would not intervene until the Li family and Song Hongyan had completely decided the winner.
The rest of the time, the Duanmu family stayed on the defensive, and a comprehensive defense was enough.
Therefore, Mrs. Duanmu should not intervene now.
However, Li Changjun's conditions brought with it an irresistible temptation.
As long as the Duanmu family cooperates with the Li family and stabs the dying prey one last time, they can get half of the meat. It's a great deal.
Half of Song Hongyan's profits are enough to make up for the Duanmu family's losses these days.
Moreover, he can also form an alliance with the Li family and use the Li family's knife to eradicate the Duanmu brothers.
Too tempting.
But Mr. K's words gave old lady Duanmu a hint of hesitation.
"Ding--"
At this moment, Duanmuhua's cell phone vibrated. When he saw it was Li Changjun, he answered immediately.
After a moment, he shouted with joy:
"What? When you raided Song Hongyan's stronghold, you happened to rescue the imprisoned Duanmu Qian?"
He promised repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, the old lady and I will definitely go to the banquet at noon..."
