Actually, the developers in Jiangbei City had already been divided into territories by the transport truck drivers. They must deliver sand there every day; if someone cut in line, it would be like cutting off their own source of income. This was something they absolutely did not allow.

The transportation market was still bustling with activity.

Zhou Kai was busy working at the sand field with his brothers. Their daily busyness made them seem very abundant.

"Brother Chuan!" Huang Bo saw Lin Chuan from afar, jumped down from a conveyor, and sprinted towards Lin Chuan.

Zhou Kai and the others immediately dropped their work and ran towards Lin Chuan.

Before long, Lin Chuan was surrounded by Zhou Kai and his group. Everybody seemed very excited and agitated. Gathering around Lin Chuan, Zhou Kai smiled and said: "Brother Chuan, I didn't expect you to come back so soon; I thought it would take you several months."

"Zhou Kai, what do you mean, you think Brother Chuan came back too early?" Lu Dapao responded unhappily: "We've almost been bullied to death by the people from Qin Han Restaurant, but now that Brother Chuan is back, he can make decisions for us."

"Right!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Lin Chuan felt something was off and quickly asked, "What do you mean?"

"Brother Chuan, during the days you were away, Qin Dalei's men always came to pick fights," Zhou Kai responded unhappily: "They have two thugs. Damn it, they come to cause trouble every so often, and Liu Cheng had his arm broken because of an issue."

"What issue?" Lin Chuan frowned.

"It's a long story," Zhou Kai took a deep drag of his cigarette and said: "Actually, it all boils down to us now firmly holding the East District's territory. So, Qin Dalei's people are upset. They probably want to swallow us up mostly to expand their territory and also to take revenge on behalf of Song Ming."

"Qin Dalei really has the guts?" Lin Chuan was furious.

"They actually did it," everyone said one after another.

At this moment, Lu Dapao came over and said: "Brother Chuan, Qin Dalei is insidious, we must always be wary of this old fox."

"Hmm!" Lin Chuan nodded, saying: "Let's have the brothers keep a close watch and be cautious when going out."

"Hmm!" Lu Dapao nodded.

Qin Dalei and Lin Chuan had already become irreconcilable enemies. Initially, Qin Dalei did not want to deal with Lin Chuan; he actually wanted to win over Lin Nanchuan. But as things developed, Qin Dalei realized that if he didn't eliminate Lin Chuan, he would always be fearful inside. Having such a formidable character in the world, if not taken out, he would never feel at ease unless he hid abroad forever, otherwise his life would not be secure.

Liu Cheng's arm was wrapped in bandages, having been broken for several days. Qin Dalei's underling, Xiao Hei, was a formidable character. Recently, this guy specifically targeted Zhou Kai and his crew. Liu Cheng was the first to fall victim. No one knew who would be next.

Qin Han Restaurant.

Lately, Qin Dalei was living relatively comfortably since Lin Chuan wasn't in Jiangbei City. Lin Chuan's subordinates could only huddle together; every time Qin Dalei provocatively showed up at their doorstep, they could only keep silent and endure. In fact, they harbored some fear towards Qin Dalei in their hearts. Qin Dalei's notoriety had already been mythologized in Jiangbei City. The Northern Tiger and Qin Dalei were leagues apart in reputation. Thus, when the people from Qin Han Restaurant came to provoke, Zhou Kai and his crew almost dared not make a sound and just bore it. Nobody dared to mutter even a single word.

"Big brother," Heizi hurriedly ran into Qin Dalei's office and excitedly said: "Lin Chuan has finally come back."

"He's back?" Upon hearing this, Qin Dalei was overjoyed and exclaimed: "Damn, I've been waiting so long, thinking this guy was hiding. We've attacked his people several times, and this guy didn't even show up. Now he's finally out."

"Should we notify the Ninja from Hechuanliu now?" Heizi asked eagerly.

Qin Dalei had been in contact with Ninjas from Japan for a long time, hoping to use them to deal with Lin Chuan. Having already heard of the fame of the Japanese Ninja, this time, Qin Dalei not only spent a huge sum but also owed a big favor to bring in a Japanese Ninja. This guy was a formidable character; none of Qin Dalei's men could match him, even if all of them attacked together, they couldn't even scratch him.

"Hmm," Qin Dalei nodded, then suddenly shook his head, saying: "No rush, to deal with Lin Chuan, we need to find the right opportunity."

"So... what does Mr. Qin mean?" Xiao Hei curiously asked.

Qin Dalei's lips curled into a sinister smile and said, "Don't rush, wait for my order."

"Yes!" Xiao Hei immediately nodded.

Liu Group.

Since Liu Shaoqi died, Yang Zi officially took over the Liu Group. To consolidate her ruling position, Yang Zi implemented a series of measures including personnel changes. Holding the largest shares, the entire board of directors dared not challenge Yang Zi. She planted her loyal confidants in various departments. With these people, Yang Zi's position in Liu Group was unshakeable.

However, two months had passed since all of this was completed. During these months, Yang Zi's eyes were constantly blinded by hatred. Her heart was filled with love for Lin Chuan yet also fraught with hatred. She believed that her current state was all due to Lin Chuan's actions. If it hadn't been for Lin Chuan, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Initially, she came back from abroad just because she heard Lin Chuan was in Jiangbei City; that time she attended the class reunion was also because Liu Jianguo mentioned Lin Chuan would be there; if she hadn't attended that reunion, she wouldn't have met Liu Shaoqi; if she didn't meet Liu Shaoqi, there wouldn't have been any entanglements nor a so-called marriage with him. Most importantly, Lin Chuan, that bastard, had been intimate with her, yet he refused to marry her.

After all the work was done, she finally had some free time.

A few days ago, Yang Zi specifically had someone inquire about Lin Chuan's whereabouts, learning that he was no longer in Jiangbei City. Yang Zi felt a bit saddened because she wanted to meet Lin Chuan. Yang Zi sat bored in her office, her work completed.

It must be said, this woman is truly remarkable, not only highly educated but also very capable in her work. She managed the vast Liu Group by herself, keeping it highly organized. Liu Group's industries were spread throughout Jiangbei City, and even had many branch offices throughout Jiang Province.

"Chairman Yang." At this moment, the female secretary rushed in and said, "I just got news; it's said that Lin Chuan has returned."

"Lin Chuan has returned?" Yang Zi, who originally looked listless, brightened up at the news of Lin Chuan's return.

"Yes!" The secretary immediately nodded and said, "It's said he just returned not long ago."

"Okay, I understand." Yang Zi immediately calmed down, waved her hand, and said, "Go attend to your work first."

"Yes!" The secretary immediately nodded.

Lin Chuan's return was a huge piece of good news for Yang Zi. The last time they spoke, it seemed that a significant conflict had erupted between them. So, Yang Zi had always wanted to find an opportunity to have a proper communication with Lin Chuan.

Yang Zi was very confident because she knew that Sichuan University Group was in desperate need of money, and she just happened to have quite a bit of spare cash. Yang Zi was very optimistic about the investment project of Sichuan University Group right now; given the current real estate heat, as long as houses are built, there will definitely be buyers. Moreover, the current project of Sichuan University Group was extremely popular, as long as one was willing to invest, there would definitely be returns.

Yang Zi was not foolish; she wanted to lend money to Sichuan University Group first to make money; secondly, to make Lin Chuan owe her a favor. It was truly a win-win situation, why wouldn't she do it? However, Yang Zi had sent people to Sichuan University Group several times to make contact, but the other party seemed not very willing to borrow money.

After hesitating for a long time, Yang Zi picked up the phone, but didn't have the courage to dial out.

Eventually, Yang Zi leisurely stood up and slowly walked out of the office.

Night fell, Lin Chuan and Zhou Kai had been drinking at a barbecue restaurant from the afternoon until around seven or eight in the evening. More than ten people, three lay down drunk, four passed out. Only Lin Chuan was left, slowly walking towards the direction of Changlin Factory with the scent of alcohol.

The moonlight was lovely, very bright. There were few clouds during the day, so the moonlight was particularly bright at night. Lin Chuan did not drive; it was only a few hundred meters from the barbecue restaurant to his home. Lin Chuan used to walk this distance every day.

Lin Chuan was shirtless, his clothes draped over his shoulders, with a cigarette dangling from his lips.

He walked along the fence of Changlin Factory towards the main gate. Currently, Changlin Factory had already started construction work, the buildings inside were beginning to be demolished. The demolition work started from the west area, where many bungalows and shanty houses were crushed by bulldozers. These bungalows, especially the shanties, were like crumbling weeds in front of bulldozers and excavators, quickly demolished. In Changlin Factory, the slightly difficult buildings to demolish were the row of buildings in the middle, which were originally funded buildings of the factory. They were made of concrete and precast slabs, so the demolition was slower. The huge area of Changlin Factory, such a large area, was quickly demolished."
