Chapter 74: Chapter 073: Unexpected Gain

It was 8 PM, the sky had darkened, and the street lamps flickered.

A taxi came to a stop at the entrance of Zhonghai City’s Purple Cloud Residential Complex.

From the taxi, a man with deep-set eyes, wearing a black shirt, got out and headed straight into the complex.

Following closely behind a resident, Qin Tian evaded the security guard at the entrance and easily entered the complex.

"Building 2, Unit 507."

The mistress of the cigarette stub—Huang Xuemei—Qin Tian memorized the building and apartment numbers and quietly made his way there.

Once he had confirmed the location, Qin Tian avoided the surveillance cameras in the hallway and lingered outside room 507 for a few minutes.

Qin Tian noticed that Huang Xuemei’s room was right on the edge of the corridor. After pondering for a few seconds, he decided to enter Huang Xuemei’s room through a window on the side of the room.

For others, this might have been an insurmountable challenge, but for someone with Qin Tian’s abilities, it was child’s play.

In fact, Qin Tian could have entered from the front, but that would have raised the alarm. Whether the cigarette stub was in Huang Xuemei’s room or not, Qin Tian’s appearance had to be completely unexpected.

Meanwhile, the light in the living room of apartment 507 was on, though there was no one there, and sounds came from the bathroom.

"Stop it, let’s go back to the room," cooed a girlish voice.

"Heh heh, right here in the bathroom, it’s thrilling," a male voice, unmistakably that of the cigarette stub.

"You’re so bad..."

"Heh, women don’t love a man who isn’t naughty."

...

The two emerged from the bathroom, simply clad in bathrobes, talking and laughing.

"Who are you? Cigarette stub bro, there’s someone in our house!"

Huang Xuemei, leading the way, was startled to see someone sitting in the living room and her face turned pale with fright.

Trailing behind, the cigarette stub came forward and saw that the person in the living room was Qin Tian, his old nemesis!

"Qin Tian!?"

Upon seeing Qin Tian, the cigarette stub also turned pale with shock and suddenly tried to dash into the bedroom.

"Are you looking for your gun?"

At that moment, Qin Tian stood up from the living room couch, toying with a handgun in his hand, his expression calm, even casually chewing on an apple from the fruit bowl in the living room.

Seeing the gun in Qin Tian’s hand, the cigarette stub was instantly stunned.

Huang Xuemei turned deathly pale and hid behind the cigarette stub.

Seeing the room’s door closed, the cigarette stub looked at Qin Tian and knew that his arrival spelled trouble; he swallowed hard, feeling very uneasy.

"Qin Tian, what do you want to do!" the cigarette stub feigned composure, slowly moving toward the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, the cigarette stub had another knife, which he planned to use, hoping to find an opportunity to fight Qin Tian to the death. After all, with only a bath towel on his body, his odds of fighting Qin Tian were virtually none.

"You two, come over here, don’t be nervous, I’m not a tiger," Qin Tian beckoned the cigarette stub and Huang Xuemei, gesturing for them to come and sit on the sofa.

Unexpectedly, the two really had quite the mood, having a battle in the bathroom, which saved Qin Tian a lot of trouble—he didn’t need to lift a finger to subdue them.

Seeing that the cigarette stub and Huang Xuemei didn’t move, Qin Tian’s expression turned stern and said, "Cigarette stub, I’m talking to you very politely right now. If you don’t cooperate, don’t blame me for being impolite."

Qin Tian toyed with the handgun in his hand, and instantly, the cigarette stub’s face turned ashen, he pulled Huang Xuemei over to Qin Tian’s side and sat down properly on the sofa.

"Qin Tian, no one pays a visit without a reason, so if you’ve come to me today, say what you want to do plainly. Don’t beat around the bush!" Sitting down, the cigarette stub forced himself to remain calm.

"You still have the nerve to say that to me at a time like this?" Qin Tian glanced at him.

In fact, both of them were well aware of the situation at hand.

The police were preparing to arrest the cigarette stub, a fact that Qin Tian knew. Certainly, the cigarette stub must have gotten wind of it in advance and had gone into hiding at Huang Xuemei’s place.

Thus, Qin Tian said, "Tell me, if I hand you over to the police now, do you think they’ll be grateful to me?"

Hearing this, the cigarette stub’s complexion changed on the spot! This Qin Tian, he knew that the police were after him!

"Hmph, if you were going to hand me over to the police, you wouldn’t have gone out of your way to come to me. Come on, Qin Tian, state your purpose, don’t dilly-dally," the cigarette stub scoffed, edging closer to Qin Tian as he spoke.

Just as Qin Tian was about to speak, the cigarette stub suddenly lunged like a mad dog, aiming straight for the gun in Qin Tian’s right hand!

Thud!

With a backhand punch, Qin Tian instantly knocked the cigarette stub to the ground with a muffled grunt—as soon as he made his move, he was floored.

"Ah!" Huang Xuemei screamed, grabbing a fruit bowl from the table and throwing it at Qin Tian while shrieking.

"I don’t usually hit women, but you asked for it!"

Dodging the fruit bowl thrown by Huang Xuemei, Qin Tian’s left hand slapped her on the back of the neck, and she fell unconscious instantly.

"Damn it! If you’ve got the guts, kill me! Do you think I’m afraid of death?" Yan Tou struggled to his feet and roared at Qin Tian.

"Feisty!"

Qin Tian’s expression turned cold, and he twisted the handgun in his hand, using the butt to strike Yan Tou’s head. Yan Tou couldn’t dodge in time and staggered, falling to the ground again. His forehead took the hit, and blood gushed out instantly.

"Since you’re so eager to die, why don’t you tell me, how exactly do you wish to die?!"

Before Yan Tou could get up, the muzzle of Qin Tian’s gun was already aimed at his forehead.

A chilling killing intent suddenly swept over Yan Tou.

Seeing Qin Tian’s icy face and the somewhat terrifying muzzle in front of his forehead, the previously hot-blooded Yan Tou completely caved in.

He broke into a cold sweat, his body shivered, and even his breathing trembled.

Yan Tou realized that Qin Tian might actually kill him!

Last time, Big Brother Qiao Zhicheng almost killed Qin Tian and his woman, and just for that, Qin Tian had reason enough to kill him!

With this thought, fear gripped Yan Tou’s heart, he twitched his cheek and said, "Let’s talk this over, let’s talk, Qin Tian, since you’ve come here, just tell me what you want me to do. We can negotiate, just move the gun away, would you?"

"If only you’d been this sensible earlier, you wouldn’t have been beaten up."

With a cold snort, Qin Tian put away his gun and sat back down, saying, "I’ve come to collect a debt today."

"Collect a debt? What debt? Who owes you money?" Yan Tou, hand on his forehead, asked, puzzled.

"You smashed my Fire Dragon Association’s KTV and nightclub last time, injured me, and scared my friend. How do you plan to repay that debt?" said Qin Tian.

"Easy to say, easy to say. I’ll compensate you with one million, that should settle it, right—sort out all debts, right?"

So it was about money, Yan Tou immediately relaxed. As long as it wasn’t after his life, everything was negotiable.

"Heh, one million? Are you kidding a beggar?" Qin Tian scoffed coldly.

"How much do you want then, two million?"

"Without ten million, your life can’t be sold," Qin Tian’s mouth twitched. The other day you lot made me suffer terribly, and Murong Fei nearly had to pay six million to make peace. Now, I’m letting you off with ten million, that’s a fifty percent discount!

Upon hearing that, Yan Tou’s cheeks twitched and he sneered, "You sure do have a lion’s appetite."

Qin Tian replied, "You should be grateful that this lion’s appetite is only for money and not for your life."

Hearing this, Yan Tou fell silent, then said, "I don’t have that much in a bank transfer, only a little over a million. For the rest, I can call my Big Brother and ask him to deliver the money."

"Do you take me for a fool? When you pick up the phone, you’ll be calling Qiao Zhicheng to bring people, right? Hmph, I’ll settle accounts with Qiao Zhicheng later. Today, I’m here to settle yours!"

Qin Tian’s gaze was cold as it swept over a men’s briefcase on the living room sofa.

He grabbed the briefcase, opened it, and aside from a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, it was filled with documents.

Qin Tian couldn’t be bothered to sift through them and shook out all of the documents.

"Land transfer agreement?"

All of a sudden, among the many documents, Qin Tian spotted one that piqued his interest.

He picked up the document, and it turned out that several files were related to the purchase and transfer agreements for a piece of land in the suburbs of the Eastern District in Zhonghai City.

Qingyun Society owned a real estate company that likely acquired a plot of land using various Jiang Hu methods at a low price; the land was about 20,000 acres, and the price was only 1.5 billion. Qin Tian knew without a doubt that Qingyun Society had obtained it through illegitimate means.

"Well, look at you, president of Qingyun Real Estate Company, not too shabby," Qin Tian chuckled as he saw "Qiao Zhibing" signed on the documents.

But as Yan Tou saw the smile on Qin Tian’s face, he was baffled—what was there to laugh about?

Only to hear Qin Tian say, "As for compensation, you know, talking about money hurts feelings. Let’s do it this way instead: you transfer the Fruit Forest land to me as compensation. It just so happens that I’ve also started a real estate company."

While speaking, Qin Tian almost laughed out loud; it was truly a case of no effort needed when the offer was so easily laid before him!

Who would’ve thought Qingyun Society also owned a real estate company!

If only I’d known earlier!

If I’d known earlier, why would I have worried about Qin Real Estate not getting any land? Here it is, ripe for the taking!

"Impossible!"

Upon hearing the rest, Yan Tou flatly refused, glaring at Qin Tian with anger.

"Qin Tian, don’t you think your appetite is a bit too large? That land is currently worth at least ten billion," Yan Tou raged.

They had gone through so much trouble for that land, crippling many local villagers and executives of competing real estate companies who were against the land acquisition. It had been no easy feat to get it at such a low price, and now Qin Tian wanted to gain it without so much as lifting a finger? This was one of Qingyun Society’s most central assets!

"Ten billion? You think I can’t read? The document states clearly, only 1.5 billion. Hmph," Qin Tian feigned ignorance, then his expression chilled as he continued, "Nowadays, your Qingyun Society is falling apart, and the police are after you, Yan Tou. I suggest you prioritize your life. Money is an external possession after all; take it easy."
