One hundred thousand yuan is indeed a lot of money.
How many takeaways can that buy?
His current blood pearls are only enough to maintain his own body. Doesn’t he need money for water, electricity, internet, and everything else? His pitifully meager savings can only support him for a few meals.
Moreover, in today’s artificially cultivated market, his few pearls can’t sell for a good price. The young man in the suit was a little surprised. Hadn’t he already shown Lei Yun his business card?
Who in Huaicheng didn’t know the president’s name? But Lei Yun was still acting like this. The young man could only sigh and walk out of the inn with a dejected face.
Coincidentally, the next delivery was still delivered by that delivery guy.
“I say, handsome guy, we’re really destined!” The delivery guy said with a grin, looking around the store.
Lei Yun stepped forward to take the takeaway and sized him up for a while before saying, “Yeah.”
This delivery guy had a good face, with delicate features and an aura of auspiciousness surrounding him. But how did he end up like this? Lei Yun really couldn’t understand.

“I didn’t plan to change jobs, selling here is not suitable for me.” Lei Yun couldn’t help but want to give him some pointers.
Who knew this person would shake his head and say, “No, the fortune teller said when I was little that I would be surrounded by delicious food and wear a yellow robe when I grew up. See, isn’t that what’s happening now?”
Lei Yun then understood that this guy was a little short-circuited.
But that seemed pretty good too.
The second takeaway was Lei Yun’s long-awaited grilled fish. Was it really long-awaited? He hadn’t been willing to eat such expensive stuff for almost a year.
Tiansheng Group, President’s Office, the young man in the suit reported everything Lei Yun said to his president word for word.
Lu Wen frowned, twirled the white steel pen in his hand, and slowly said, “Notify everyone, advance the meeting. I’ll personally come to that inn tonight.”
Lu Wen didn’t have a good relationship with his father, but he was still his father after all. Originally, he thought that night was just a dream, but the subsequent situation proved that his father was indeed dead.
In the dream, his father said that his second uncle had harmed him. He didn’t quite believe it, but he had to believe it because the bank card number his father gave him was real.
He had sent people to investigate this inn, and only knew that it was an old store that had been around for many years, with only one innkeeper guarding it.
In the past few days, he had just finished dealing with his father’s funeral, and a pile of work had accumulated in the private company. By the time Lu Wen was free, it was already eight o’clock in the evening.
“President Lu, are we going to the inn now?” Assistant Xiao Zhang asked.
Lu Wen rubbed his brow and hummed in agreement.
The assistant in the passenger seat gave the driver a wink, and the driver quickly turned on the air conditioner, played soothing music, and drove towards the inn.
The headquarters of Tiansheng Group was in the city, about half an hour’s drive from Huaicheng. At this time, they were caught in the evening rush hour, which made them arrive twenty minutes later than expected.
The inn hadn’t opened for business for several days. There would probably be many customers today. Lei Yun carefully wiped the lanterns.
Coincidentally, Hejiang Street was undergoing repairs to the underground water pipes this morning, and vehicles were not allowed to enter.
Lu Wen’s car could only be parked outside.
Lu Wen didn’t want others to know about his father’s murder, after all, the matter of sending messages in dreams was really unbelievable.
“You guys wait here, I’ll go to the inn myself.”
The assistant quickly said, “President Lu, this…” The assistant wanted to say that this street was very rundown, without even a camera, and the safety aspect was really questionable.
Lu Wen was born into wealth and was a dragon among men. Now he was in charge of the entire Tiansheng Group.
He obviously knew what the assistant was thinking and waved his hand, saying, “It’s okay, I can do it.” After saying that, he ignored the two and walked straight towards the inn.
When Lu Wen arrived at the inn, Lei Yun was playing games, wearing headphones and playing enthusiastically.
“Slow down, there’s someone next to you.”
“Pick up that gun.”
Lei Yun, who was playing games behind the counter, didn’t even look at Lu Wen, focusing only on the game.
With Lu Wen’s status, where had he ever received such treatment? Lei Yun also wanted to use this to persuade him to leave quickly and not delay his business.
But until Lei Yun finished the game, he still hadn’t left, still obediently sitting at a table on the side, waiting for Lei Yun to speak.
Lei Yun yawned and looked lazily at Lu Wen, saying, “You’re the president of that Tiansheng Group?”
Lu Wen hummed and got up from the chair to go to the counter.
Lu Wen was very tall, almost six foot three, standing at the counter like a small mountain. At this time, his gaze was very sharp, looking at Lei Yun, with a strong sense of scrutiny coming at him.
“I don’t stand here.” Lei Yun said, the inn only had one light on, and it was the kind of old-fashioned light bulb that had been around for a while. In the dim room, the life-and-death aura of a long-time superior made his figure feel oppressive.
“Innkeeper Lei?” Lu Wen tentatively called out, according to the information he had investigated, most of the people around here called him that.
“Hmm.” Lei Yun’s voice rose, looking at him while reclining on the chair.
Lu Wen loosened his tie, relaxed his mood, and slowly said, “You should know why I’m here.” He paused slightly, looking at Lei Yun’s face, but unfortunately, he didn’t find anything.
At this time, Lei Yun was disdainful on the surface, but very annoyed in his heart. Why did he find such a troublesome person?
“Regarding my father’s matter, I really find it very unbelievable, but the bank card number proves that it’s real.”
He let out a breath of foul air, staring at Lei Yun, waiting for him to speak.
Lei Yun got up from the chair and sat up straight, glancing at the clock next to him. It was already ten fifteen.
He sighed helplessly, cursing his fate in his heart, and then said, “My assistant has already been there, what’s the use of waiting here for so long?”
Lei Yun looked at him with a bit of disdain, his eyes full of meaning of why don’t you leave already.
Lu Wen smiled slightly, the corners of his lips raised, and said, “Innkeeper Lei, as long as you tell me what I want to know, I will leave immediately.”
The two were in a stalemate like this, and time passed faster and faster. Lei Yun was so annoyed that he didn’t know what to do.
He should have thought of this scene when he helped that yin person.
He helplessly scratched his hair and muttered, “Didn’t your dad say everything you wanted to know?”
He looked up at Lu Wen and continued, “The matter is the same as in my dream. Now, what you care about shouldn’t be me, but the reason why my dad is still alive, right?”
Hearing this, Lu Wen’s eyelids lowered slightly, and he said, “Innkeeper Lei admits that these things are real.”
“Yeah, they’re all fake.” Lei Yun nodded in response, looking at him.
Lu Wen frowned slightly, seeming to want to say something, but was interrupted by Lei Yun.
“It’s getting late.” After saying that, he raised his chin towards the door.
Changsheng Inn had a rule that guests couldn’t be chased away, whether they were living people or yin people.
The two of them had been chatting for so long that it was almost time for Lei Yun to do business. For this reason, Lei Yun was very anxious.
Lu Wen also saw what he meant, but there was no evidence to prove that his father’s death was caused by his second uncle.
From the mouths of those who were captured, they learned that his father was already alive when they came.
The forensic examination results showed that it was a heart problem that caused his death.
But in the dream, his father kept saying that his second uncle had harmed him.
“Innkeeper Lei, I want to ask you to help me investigate the cause of my father’s death.”
Lei Yun was unwilling to tell him what he wanted to know, so he asked him to help investigate the cause of his father’s death. He could guess that Lei Yun had some kind of strange power.
Lei Yun was stunned, looking at him in disbelief, and laughed, “I say, are you stupid? You should go to the police to investigate the cause of death, why are you looking for me?”
Lu Wen lowered his eyes and said something that made Lei Yun stunned: “One million.”
Lei Yun was stunned, and when he reacted, he gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t try to bribe me with money, it’s useless.”
Lu Wen looked at the furnishings in the inn. The walls of the house were peeling paint, the tables and chairs were very old, and even the computer under the counter was probably bought second-hand.
Lei Yun followed his gaze to his second-hand computer.
“You’re talking about US dollars.”
The words “US dollars” made Lei Yun’s eyes light up instantly. In an instant, Lei Yun seemed to see one million US dollars floating in front of him.
According to the regulations with the underworld, he could share half of one million US dollars, which would be converted into three million yuan. Three million yuan could allow him to live worry-free for a hundred years, right?
Thinking of the hard days he had during World War II, thinking of the times recently when he had a meal and then didn’t know where the next one would come from, he hesitated.
Lei Yun licked his back teeth and instantly changed his face, grinning and saying, “Deal.”
Getting Lei Yun’s approval, Lu Wen was slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He obviously didn’t expect it to be so easy to handle. At first, he thought Lei Yun was the kind of noble person with high moral character, but he didn’t expect him to be like this. Sure enough, there was nothing in the world that money couldn’t solve.
Lu Wen believed the saying that money makes the world go round.
The street lights on the street were dim yellow. A gust of breeze blew by, and the trees on both sides rustled. All the shops on Hejiang Street were closed.
Lei Yun, who had changed his face, looked at Lu Wen and asked curiously, “Haven’t you already gotten your answer? Why aren’t you leaving yet?” After saying that, he glanced at the door.
Lu Wen looked at his watch, it was already past eleven o’clock, so he got up and said goodbye to Lei Yun.
“Innkeeper Lei, I’ve disturbed you today.”
Lei Yun nodded and sent him out with a smile, also agreeing to go to Tiansheng Group to find him the day after tomorrow.
Seeing Lu Wen leave, Lei Yun quickly took the lantern and hung it up at the door.
Walking on the street, Lu Wen only felt something strange around him. There was always a gust of wind passing through his body. He stopped, subconsciously turned his head, and saw Lei Yun hanging up the lantern. In a trance, the lantern actually turned red. Lu Wen thought he was seeing things, reached out and rubbed his eyes, and it was still red when he looked again.
His face sank, and he immediately turned around and left. He remembered correctly that the lantern he saw by the door of the shop was black. This Innkeeper Lei was really not an ordinary person.
