I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a 1000 Years - Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Wu Chen was really annoyed, the other party was too disrespectful.

“Huh?” The other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment and then understood who the strange number was, and said in a flustered tone, “That… Mr. Wu, you may have misunderstood… I am not…”

“It’s very late, I’m going to rest. Call me if you need anything, and don’t send anyone to follow me!” Wu Chen hung up without waiting for the other party to say anything.

He clutched his phone and looked out the window into the alley again, then closed the curtains.

In fact, Wu Chen knew very well that the other party would not do any harm to him.

Because now, the person who sent someone to follow and monitor him can be said to be his own.

It’s Wang Zhuangyuan!

Wu Chen drove away his white Lamborghini yesterday, met him at Li Ruotai’s place this morning, and returned the car keys to him. From Wang Zhuangyuan’s point of view, he didn’t even know Wu Chen.

But he still sent people to follow and monitor Wu Chen.

Wu Chen could deduce why.

Because he was Li Ruobing’s man, “Donghai Mr. Li” Li Ruotai’s brother-in-law! Moreover, Li Ruobing was pregnant with his child.

At present, there were four “big bosses” in Donghai. In addition to Zhao Guaizi and Wang Zhuangyuan, there were also Yan Jiu from Beicheng and Yuan Erbao from the development zone.

These four people control more than 90% of the entertainment and leisure businesses in the East China Sea, and were involved in quarries, logistics and other businesses.

Only in the 1990s of the last century, Donghai was dominated by one family in the aisle and had a role that could be called the “Godfather of Donghai”, because it was chaotic at that time.

After the new century…

Those of the older generation died, those who were imprisoned, and those who survived were laundered and went ashore one after another. Although the transformation of the old generation were sone filled by new forces, because the times have changed, the environment changed, and the legal environment changed, it was very difficult for Donghai to have the kind of godfather figure who could act lawlessly and have absolute dominance.

The more developed the place, the harder it was for such people to appear!

Donghai City developed. Although it was incomparable with several top super first-tier cities in China, it was still a first-tier big city with a population of more than 10 million.

However, as long as it is a bar, KTV, bathing and sauna business, it would inevitably involve relationships, contacts, and things on the road.

So there were now these four big bosses, Zhao Guaizi, Wang Zhuangyuan, Yan Jiu, and Yuan Erbao.

Among them, Yan Jiu was the oldest and the most experienced. People in the Taoist circle called him Master Yan Jiu, and he was over 50 this year.

Zhao Guaizi followed, followed by Yuan Erbao, both of whom were under fifty years old.

As for Wang Zhuangyuan, he was only thirty-three years old this year!

If you looked closely at the vicissitudes of the Donghai in the past twenty years, you will find an astonishing fact, that was, Wang Zhuangyuan was very scary! The speed of his rise was astonishing!

At the age of eighteen, he was the champion of science in the Donghai college entrance examination. In order to avenge his oppressed parents, he stabbed someone and was imprisoned for three years. After he was released from prison, he came out to play.

He used to be an extremely outstanding student, a genius-level figure, a proud son of heaven, and a “child of other people’s family”.

He also believed that knowledge could change fate, but the accident during the summer vacation when he was eighteen changed everything.

Not only completely changed the trajectory of his life, but also distorted his values.

So he came out to hang out.

Twelve years have passed, and Wang Zhuangyuan had successfully caught up with the veteran forces represented by Zhao Guaizi, Yan Jiu, Yuan Erbao, etc., and was twenty or thirty years younger than them, yet he sat on an equal footing with them.

No money!

No background!

No contacts either!

But Wang Zhuangyuan did it.

Why did it work?

This has to mention Wang Zhuangyuan’s self-motivation, he was not only extremely smart but also very, very good at drilling!

Six years ago, in July.

Li Ruotai, who was only twenty years old, was still studying in college and was about to enter his junior year, came to the East China Sea with an astronomical sum of money and terrifying family connections.

He chose a site, build a building!

According to the plan at the time, it would take at least two years from the completion of construction to the completion of decoration of the building, regardless of the cost to catch up with the construction speed.

And two years later, Li Ruotai just graduated from university.

In the first two years, although Li Ruotai was still in college, he would come to Donghai very frequently by private jet to get in touch with some people.

He was a dragon crossing the river, but a local snake was not willing to be provoked easily but was willing to make friends with them.

Li Ruotai quickly established his own network in Donghai.

The foundation was laid for the opening of the Crown Club and the expansion of the Li family’s influence.

It was during this time that Wang Zhuangyuan met Li Ruotai earlier than Zhao Guaizi and the others!

At that time, Wang Zhuangyuan, although already had a lot of power, was still unable to compare with those three. However, Zhao Guaizi and the others would not easily touch Wang Zhuangyuan, because even if Wang Zhuangyuan was eliminated, their own losses would not be small.

Wang Zhuangyuan first developed a relationship with Li Ruotai.

Li Ruotai helped him.

Then, just four years ago, Wang Zhuangyuan quickly reached an equal position with Zhao Guaizi and the others, and successfully changed the number of big shots on Donghai from three to four.

And in recent years, these four top figures had been fighting openly and secretly. They all wanted to destroy each other, make themselves bigger, and even want to dominate their own family!

The peak of the conflict was in April of this year.

An explosion occurred in a massage hotel owned by Yan Jiu.

The case was on the news, and it was reported that the underground pipeline of the hotel ignited and leaked, and an accidental explosion occurred, causing many hotel employees to be injured, one of whom was seriously injured. It was an accident.

This was of course no accident.

Although no one died, it also led to Yan Jiu’s confidant agent, the nominal owner of the hotel, being sent directly to prison!

He hadn’t fished it out yet.

This incident directly made Li Ruotai furious!

It stood to reason that Li Ruotai should be biased toward Wang Zhuangyuan. Wang Zhuangyuan was brought up by him for several years. If Li Ruotai really supported him, then by this year, Wang Zhuangyuan should have surpassed Zhao Guaizi and the others. Already dominating one family.

But no!

Li Ruotai didn’t do that.

Because what he wanted was balance!

It was impossible for a core child from a superfamily to be a dandy. Li Ruotai had his own wisdom, and he knew very well that once a family dominates, whether he could control it well was a problem!

There was another problem, that was, shooting the first bird!

In today’s era, if you really set up a monopoly in a certain big city, you are not far from death.

What really happened, a thunderous blow to Donghai from above, not only those people on the road were about to end, but Li Ruotai would definitely have difficulty separating the relationship.

What Li Ruotai wanted was balance and stability!

So although Wang Zhuangyuan knew him first, in recent years, the relationship between the four people and him had not been too different, and it seemed that they could all be called confidantes, but… they all maintained this kind of distance that was difficult to break through.

Li Ruotai was in the business of sensuality, so it was inevitable that he would have a relationship with the East China Sea. If he wanted to grow bigger and do better, he must deal with them.

For example, where did Li Ruotai’s astonishingly high-quality technicians come from?

Of course, it was sent up below.

If it wasn’t for necessity, Li Ruotai would not have dealt with this group of ruffians. Zhao Guaizi and the others said that their power and status could be compared with those local rich people with a net worth of less than one billion.

They couldn’t be compared at all.

But ruffians were ruffians after all, and they do the most unsafe business. With Li Ruotai’s background and connections, Li Ruotai could destroy them if he wanted to destroy them!

This was why Li Ruotai could become the big brother of the underworld in the East China Sea alone.

He was both close to them and at a distance, maintaining a balance between the quartet, knowing them, and controlling them.

After the bombings in April…

At the beginning of May, Li Ruotai called the four of them together, as well as the well-known ruthless characters on the East China Sea underworld, and the older generation.

Whoever dared to make trouble first, he would chop it up with his own hands!

These secret meetings were the “May Gathering” that Wu Chen mentioned yesterday when he called Zhao Guaizi under Li Ruotai’s name.

—

Wu Chen went back to his room to get his laptop, then went back to the living room, sat on the sofa, and began to browse the news.

Wu Chen didn’t think much about Wang Zhuangyuan’s sending people to follow him. He understood Wang Zhuangyuan’s character and behavior, so he knew why.

In fact, to put it bluntly, he wanted to catch up with Wu Chen. He probably wanted to get to know Wu Chen first, and then find the right opportunity, or even create a coincidence, so that he could get to know Wu Chen privately and develop a relationship with Wu Chen.

In this way, he would have an advantage in the competition with Zhao Guaizi and the others!

This was why Wu Chen clearly knew that someone was following him, but he didn’t pay much attention to him.

Because he knew there was no danger.

Not only was there no danger, Wang Zhuangyuan was even very likely to give him benefits and gifts directly!

Eleven o’clock at night.

Wu Chen put away the computer and went back to sleep.

He had a good night’s sleep.

A new day!

July 9, 2020, 7 o’clock in the morning!

Wu Chen woke up on time, picked up his phone, looked at the unreset time, and smiled.

Although he had already determined that the time would not be reset passively, he still laughed when he sees the new date!

Because there was a future life, it was really cool!

He exercised yesterday, and his legs hurt a little, but it didn’t affect his walking.

Wu Chen got up, washed and changed, and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Just when Wu Chen had just walked out of the unit building.

At the entrance of the unit building, the man wearing glasses who was leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette stood up straight, threw away the cigarette and stamped it out, then waved his hand to sweep away the smoke around him, looked at Wu Chen and said, “Mr. Wu, yesterday I…”

“You are all good.” Wu Chen turned to look at him and replied.

It’s Wang Zhuangyuan!

There were cigarette butts all over the floor, and nobody knew how early he came or how long he had been waiting at the gate. *
