Clang!
With a clang of metal on metal, the metal frame was instantly bent by his punch!
But he didn't feel any pain from the punch.
This was the powerful change brought about by the Edman skeleton. It not only strengthened Xu Lang's bones, but also his skin and muscles, allowing him to bend steel with a single punch without causing himself any pain!
Of course, its sensory system remains sharp, but its ability to withstand blows has become incredibly strong!
Looking at the skin on the back of his hand, which shone with a metallic sheen, Xu Lang felt another surge of joy.
Unexpectedly, the system rewards this time are so generous!
Just then, the phone rang.
Xu Lang looked down and saw that it was a call from the professor.
"Brother Lang, I have completely wiped out the Eight-Faced Buddha's forces in Thailand, and his last two children have also disappeared from this world!"
Xu Lang nodded and said:
"I've already told you, I'm leaving things in Thailand to you. You didn't actually need to tell me about this!"
The doctor paused for a moment, then said sincerely:
"I still want to thank you. If it weren't for your help this time, I probably wouldn't have made it past the Eight-Faced Buddha!"
Xu Lang smiled faintly:
"You're too kind. You've already joined the Asian Alliance on April 4.9th. Now that you're in the alliance, we're all on the same side. Of course, we should all be united against outsiders. Anyone who targets you is targeting Dongxing!"
The doctor nodded, then said:
"I will follow up on that super dollar you mentioned last time with all my might. Leave the super dollar issue in Southeast Asia and even South Asia to me!"
"it is good!"
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Xu Lang couldn't help but smile slightly.
The doctor possesses a powerful smuggling network, through which her weapons can be sold worldwide. With her support, Xu Lang's super-sized US dollars can also be rapidly sold around the world.
This is why Xu Lang is doing everything he can to help the doctor!
Now that the doctor has joined the Asian Alliance, his natural goal is to maximize the profits from the Super Dollar, which is why Xu Lang established it!
Chapter 202 The disgusting competition between Flour King Zhu Tao and Li Ruolan; Ruolan's beloved car is smashed.
"Mr. Li, I will be in your office shortly. Could you please give me twenty minutes?"
After hanging up the phone, Li Ruolan hurriedly got out of the car and walked quickly toward the headquarters of Changjiang Real Estate.
This time, she plans to bid for a property in Sai Wan, Hong Kong Island, to build several office buildings there. If she wins the bid, it will definitely bring in a lot of revenue.
Cheung Kong Properties is also interested in bidding, so she went there today specifically to talk to Mr. Li from Cheung Kong Properties.
In addition, several other companies were bidding for Yangtze River Real Estate, including Menglong Group, which seemed to have a strong background. However, Li Ruolan didn't care much because she was Xu Lang's woman and didn't believe that anyone in Hei Dao would disrespect Xu Lang and cause her trouble.
The situation was different with Mr. Li from Cheung Kong Property. Since everyone was a legitimate businessman, everything was laid out in the open, making negotiations much easier!
After Li Ruolan got out of the car, she quickly walked into the office building, where a car quietly stopped behind her.
Four or five burly men quickly got off the bus, each carrying a baseball bat.
Several men rushed to the Bentley where Li Ruolan was riding and started hitting it with baseball bats.
Bang! Bang bang!!!
The Bentley's windows were shattered instantly by a steel baseball bat, and Li Ruolan's driver was so frightened that he quickly ran out of the car.
The men then gave the driver another beating, quickly turning him black and blue, before uttering a single sentence:
"Tell that bitch Li Ruolan that our Menglong Group is determined to win the Xihuan Real Estate project this time. If she knows what's good for her, she shouldn't cause any trouble before the bidding process, or we'll make sure she regrets it!"
After saying that, the men turned around, got into the car, and sped away with a roar.
Before long, Li Ruolan had reached an agreement with Mr. Li of the Yangtze River Group. When she came downstairs, she was shocked to see that her car had been smashed and the driver had been beaten black and blue.
The driver then relayed what the thugs had said to Li Ruolan.
Upon hearing this, Li Ruolan's pretty face instantly turned pale with anger. She gritted her teeth and pondered for a moment before picking up her phone.
At that moment, Xu Lang was listening to Hong Wentong's report in his office when he saw the phone ring. He immediately waved for Hong Wentong to stop and then answered Li Ruolan's call.
"Brother Lang, your woman got beaten up, what are you going to do?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lang's voice immediately turned cold and stern:
"Who dares to be so bold!"
Li Ruolan was not actually beaten; she said that to gauge Xu Lang's reaction and see if he cared about her.
Hearing Xu Lang's reaction, a smile finally appeared on Li Ruolan's face:
"I wasn't hit, I was just trying to scare you. But I have been in some trouble lately, I'll come over and talk to you about it later!"
After saying that, Li Ruolan immediately told the driver to go to the hospital, and then she turned around and took a taxi, going straight to the door of Xu Lang's main office.
Upon meeting Xu Lang, Li Ruolan told him about how her car had been smashed and her driver had been severely beaten that day.
"The owner of this Menglong Group is named Zhu Tao. He started out in the flour business and has a lot of money. However, most of his money is illicit, which is why he recently entered the real estate industry, intending to launder all his money!"
After listening to Li Ruolan's account, Hong Wentong immediately told Xu Lang the details about Zhu Tao.
"Because he started out in the flour business, his underlings are basically all desperados. Although there aren't many of them, their firepower is fierce. In Southeast Asia, they even dare to confront the patrol boats of local government officials with armed force, which is incredibly audacious!"
At this point, Hong Wentong glanced at Li Ruolan and said:
"Perhaps that's why Zhu Tao felt that even Brother Lang would have to be wary of him, which is why he dared to directly confront Sister Ruolan!"
After hearing Hong Wentong's words, a cold smile appeared on Xu Lang's face.
With a gang of thugs under his command and some weapons, they dared to target Xu Lang's woman!
Zhu Tao probably doesn't understand the situation and really thinks everyone in Hong Kong is afraid of him!
Just then, a soft sound suddenly echoed in Xu Lang's mind:
"Ding! System mission triggered: Please completely destroy the Menglong Group within one week, including eliminating Zhu Tao himself and seizing all his hidden assets!"
"Upon completion of the mission, the host will receive the reward: Super-fast regeneration!"
"Super-fast regeneration grants the body the ability to rapidly regenerate cells and tissues, allowing any injury to heal itself in a second or even less!"
Upon hearing the system notification, Xu Lang's two sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly.
Just as he was thinking about dealing with Zhu Tao, the system unexpectedly triggered a mission. It seems that Zhu Tao deserves to die, and the Mighty Dragon Group is finished!
He then looked at Hong Wentong:
"Does Zhu Tao have a lot of money?"
Hong Wentong thought for a moment and said:
"He started out selling flour and has a lot of hidden assets, but much of this money and real estate is not in his name. If we simply target Zhu Tao himself, it will probably be very difficult to obtain his assets!"
Xu Lang nodded.
Zhu Tao, who started out selling flour, would naturally use many means, such as offshore companies or tax-free foreign enterprises, to hide all his assets and funds. Many of these assets are not even in his name, or are even registered under the name of someone who does not exist in this world.
This is something many flour makers do. Zhu Tao has been in the flour business for decades, so he must have hidden his wealth even deeper and more discreetly. The real estate company of Menglong Group is just a front!
However, such people usually have a very strong manager behind them who handles their finances, and this manager often holds the reins of their economic lifeline!
"Hong 127 Wentong, go and find out who is handling Zhu Tao's finances!"
Hong Wentong nodded and then left the office.
After Hong Wentong left, Li Ruolan sat down in Xu Lang's lap with a wronged expression.
Xu Lang gently stroked her hair:
"Afraid?"
Li Ruolan shook her head:
"I'm not afraid, I'm just very angry!"
"I just want to do business through legitimate means, but there are always people who want to mess with me using shady methods. You know I'm the kind of person who least likes to bother you and doesn't want you to help me!"
Xu Lang nodded.
He knew that Li Ruolan had a very strong personality, and if she could avoid contacting Xu Lang, she would never cause him any trouble, so as to maintain a relatively equal footing between herself and Xu Lang.
Only then did she seem to realize that there was no self-interest between her and Xu Lang, only feelings.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang smiled slightly at her and gently lifted her chin:
"No matter how strong you are, you're still my woman. Don't you want your man to stand up for you?"
Upon hearing his words, Li Ruolan couldn't help but look up at him and smile sweetly:
"You know, the reason I did this is to let you know that there is only affection between us!"
"Besides feelings?"
Xu Lang rolled over and adjusted Li Ruolan's position on the sofa.
Chapter 203 Kidnapping John Gao and Making Him Dig His Own Grave
An hour later, Hong Wentong returned to Xu Lang's office, gently knocked on Xu Lang's door, and only pushed the door open after hearing Xu Lang's reply.
Li Ruolan was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee, while Xu Lang was sitting at his desk. The two seemed to have been chatting and drinking coffee there the whole time.
But Hong Wentong clearly detected a strange smell in the air.
He shook his head, setting aside his gossipy thoughts, and said to Xu Lang:
"Brother Lang, we've found out that all of Zhu Tao's financial problems, as well as the real estate projects of the Raptors Group, were handled by his manager, John Gao. John Gao is also the Raptors Group's 'white paper fan' advisor!"
Xu Lang nodded to Hong Wentong with satisfaction:
