Chapter 456: Chapter 456 This business is losing too much money!

Xiong Xiazai had a look of utter despair, like he had lost his parents.

If he had known this would happen, even with ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare get involved with the high-interest loan business ever again!

Suddenly, Xiong Xiazai seemed to remember something and knelt down in front of Chen Xuan with a thump.

"Brother Xuan, I beg you, please explain to Ninth Elder Sister that this is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"

Xiong Xiazai had already realized that this so-called son-in-law of the Han Family could directly call Cui Fengjiu, so he definitely wasn’t as simple as he seemed.

Now, it seemed only he could save his own life!

Chen Xuan leaned back on the sofa, "A misunderstanding? Isn’t it a fact that you violated Ninth Elder Sister’s rules and made a high-interest loan on your own? What misunderstanding is there?"

Quick-witted as he was, Xiong Xiazai’s eyes spun a few times before he hurriedly said, "Not at all! It’s not a high-interest loan, it’s just lending money to your mother-in-law to help her out, nothing more. We’re all friends, no need for interest!"

"No, not just interest, please take back the money in this card immediately, Brother Xuan."

"We never had this one billion yuan deal before, what do you think about this?"

As he spoke, Xiong Xiazai handed the one billion yuan in principal back to Chen Xuan with both hands.

Without this one billion transaction, it would mean he never made a high-interest loan.

Only then might Cui Fengjiu let him off the hook.

In order to save his life, Xiong Xiazai could only bite the bullet this time.

Chen Xuan, looking at the bank card in his hand, hummed softly, "If you had quit while you were ahead, you wouldn’t have ended up like this now!"

"You want to save your life? From today forward, don’t make any high-interest loans. I can ask Ninth Elder Sister to show you some mercy."

Xiong Xiazai was overjoyed at hearing this, "Thank you, Brother Xuan! Rest assured, I will never get involved in this business again!"

Chen Xuan nodded, "You’d better stick to that, otherwise, Ninth Elder Sister won’t even need to take action, I’ll take you down to Dragon Lake myself!"

Xiong Xiazai felt a chill as the person before him was just as powerful and ruthless as Ninth Elder Sister!

"Rest assured, Brother Xuan, I dare not do it again!" Xiong Xiazai promised as he kowtowed.

Chen Xuan, however, didn’t waste any more words and got up to leave right away.

Only after Chen Xuan left did Xiong Xiazai sit down on the ground like a reprieved man.

If he hadn’t reacted quickly just now, he might not have lived past today!

But every time he thought of that one billion yuan, he got so angry that he slapped himself.

All because he was blind!

If he could have seen earlier that Chen Xuan was no ordinary person and quit while he was ahead, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

He, a loan shark, had lent out money and ended up not only without any interest but also losing the principal!

Who the hell could he complain to about this!

High-interest loans my ass, even if someone begged him in the future, he would never touch this business again.

Damn it, too much loss!

After leaving the loan company, Chen Xuan went straight to the Jinxiu City Construction Site.

Although the one billion yuan in principal had been returned to him, the one billion yuan from Ding Lijuan and the others was still invested in the Jinxiu City project; he naturally couldn’t let it go to waste and simply hand it over to Dong Jianke.

Moreover, the Jinxiu City project had had accidents every now and then. Although no fatalities have happened yet, it was only a matter of time!

Naturally, Chen Xuan couldn’t just sit by and do nothing!

Because of the accident a few days ago, the construction site was now closed.

Chen Xuan stood outside the construction site and looked up at the sky using the technique of "Wang Qi" (Observing Qi).

He could clearly see that the dark green fog over the construction site was still lingering, and, what’s more, it seemed to be even thicker than before!

Chen Xuan’s heart sank, the situation at the construction site was getting even worse!

If it goes on this way, I’m afraid next time something happens at the construction site, it will definitely cost lives!

Just as Chen Xuan wanted to take a closer look to see if he could find the source of the Evil Corpse Essence at the construction site.

"Hey, what are you doing! This is a key area for construction, no loitering allowed, get out of here now!"

The security guard responsible for overseeing the construction site yelled at Chen Xuan.

It was obvious that they mistook Chen Xuan for some unwelcome visitor with ill intentions towards the construction site.

Chen Xuan didn’t waste his breath arguing with them and had to retract his aura-viewing technique and turn away.

The situation at the construction site was quite grim, no more delays could be afforded.

Chen Xuan decided that he would return at night to explore further and resolve all the troubles once and for all!

At midnight, after Han Jingting had fallen into a deep sleep, he drove out.

Chen Xuan had been thinking about how to bypass the security guards’ vigilance to enter the construction site, but as he arrived, he immediately sensed something was amiss.

The security cameras at the entrance had been tampered with, and even the guards in the booth had all inexplicably fallen into a deep slumber!

Chen Xuan realized that someone had gotten ahead of him and made their move beforehand!

Without hesitation, Chen Xuan immediately entered the construction site.

The Jinxiu City Construction Site was vast, with partially constructed buildings standing tall and silent.

Due to the lack of lighting, the entire construction site was pitch-dark.

The air was inexplicably cold, giving off a chilling sensation!

Chen Xuan went to the top of a tall building to overlook the entire construction site, wanting to locate the source of the Evil Corpse Essence.

Under the art of aura-viewing, no trace of energy could hide!

Chen Xuan quickly saw that the center of the black-green aura was located at the back of the construction site!

He promptly rushed to the spot, where there was a deep pit several meters deep, obviously dug for laying the foundation.

The soil here was still fresh, with traces of recent collapse visible.

Chen Xuan immediately deduced that this was precisely where a collapse had occurred just a few days ago!

With a leap, Chen Xuan jumped straight to the bottom of the pit.

Then, he suddenly noticed an opening in the wall of the pit at the bottom, from which a faint light seemed to emanate!

There were people inside the tunnel!

Chen Xuan frowned.

It seemed that the people in this tunnel were most likely the intruders who had drugged the guards!

But what made Chen Xuan curious was who these people were and what their purpose was for coming to the construction site in the middle of the night!

Without further thought, Chen Xuan directly entered the opening.

The walls of the tunnel were freshly dug, which was obviously done recently, and the entrance was large.

To dig such a big tunnel in such a short time meant that there must have been a good number of people involved, with professional and well-trained methods!

Meanwhile, at the end of the tunnel.

After passing through the ten-plus meter-long tunnel, there was a completely different world on the other side!

This was an underground space about eight meters square, surrounded by walls constructed of stacked stone blocks.

And in the center of this space, lay a huge stone sarcophagus.

Here, unexpectedly, was an ancient tomb!

Probably no one would have imagined that beneath the Jinxiu City Construction Site, there could exist such a unique place!
