Chapter 183: The Iron Trio

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

It was 8 am in the morning. Ling Yun turned around and glanced at Zhuang Meifeng who was still sound asleep in bed before shaking his head as he smiled to himself. He then switched off the computer, stood up, and left the bedroom.

Ling Yun had an eidetic memory. After going through an hour-long crash course, he was proficient enough to use a computer efficiently.

He closed the bedroom door gently in order not to startle Zhuang Meifeng before heading straight towards the front yard, completely ignoring Xiao Meimei who was lazily sprawled on the couch.

As he arrived at his front yard, he fished his phone out of his pocket and dialed Tie Xiaohu’s number.

He only said one sentence. “Reach my house before 9 am, we’re going to collect some debts.”

Sure enough, upon hearing that Ling Yun was going to collect debts, Tie Xiaohu agreed immediately without hesitation before hanging up.

…

“What did you say? Ling Yun wants to buy a villa? And he wants two? Am I hearing this right?”

30 meters away from the entrance of the Municipal Council Headquarters, seated in Tang Meng’s Hummer, Li Qinghchuan looked at Tang Meng in disbelief, as if Tang Meng was suffering from a mental illness.

Tang Meng raised his hand towards the opening of his car window and flicked off some cigarette ash before taking a drag on the cigarette and exhaling all the smoke towards the window. He then replied slowly, “Brother Chuan, you heard me. It’s true, he wants to buy it today.”

Li Qingchuan was tongue-tied as his jaw hung wide. Finally, he began muttering to himself, “Amazing, that’s just too d*mn amazing!”

Tang Meng chuckled awkwardly as he thought to himself, Is Brother Chuan really older than me? His reaction seems way more dramatic than mine.

After Li Qingchuan got over the initial shock, he smirked and shook his head simultaneously. “Why did you come here to look for me?” he asked Tang Meng.

There was no need for Tang Meng to beat around the bush when talking to Li Qingchuan. Thus, he gave him a straightforward reply. “Brother Chuan, was this question even necessary? Boss told me to handle the task, of course I’m here for the good stuff!”

It was unnecessary for intelligent people to converse in a plain manner. Just as Li Qingchuan began nodding his head thoughtfully, Tang Meng continued, “One villa in Qingshui Bay, another in the Qingxi Bay Villa area, I want the best villas available. What’s the best discount I can get?”

Li Qingchuan gave it some serious thought before replying in an unsure manner. “I’ll have to ask my aunt personally, I may also need to make some calls to my father. However, I think the highest discount wouldn’t be more than 40%.”

Tang Meng was elated by the news. If both of the villas totaled up to 40 million dollars, a 40% discount would be 24 million dollars. This simple sentence from Li Qingchuan would have saved Ling Yun 16 million dollars!

Looking at Tang Meng’s excitement, Li Qingchuan could not help but rain on his parade. “Don’t get too excited, this is just a guess. Things can only be confirmed after I’ve asked and clarified everything.”

Tang Meng let out a chuckle and nodded enthusiastically. Suddenly, his expression turned solemn as he looked at Li Qingchuan in a serious manner. “Brother Chuan, I have something to tell you. No matter how much the discount, no matter how big or small the discount is, it’s Boss’ money. We can’t possibly take any profits…”

Li Qingchuan was angered by those words and immediately smacked Tang Meng on his head. “D*mn, is Ling Yun the only person who matters in your eyes? Who do you think I am? Ling Yun is my savior and my family was just talking about inviting him to dinner at my house, why on earth would I want to take advantage of him?!”

Tang Meng knew that Li Qingchuan would respond this way. Even though he had to endure a heavy smack on his head, he had to give Li Qingchuan this reminder anyway.

It was tens of millions of dollars. If, at a certain step of the process, someone took a bit of commission, they would earn up to millions of dollars Even though this sum of money was nothing to Li Qingchuan and Tang Meng, it would greatly affect Ling Yun’s impression of Tang Meng.

Tang Meng knew that Ling Yun would never choose to be at a disadvantage in any given situation. If something were to go wrong in this task and Ling Yun found out about it, that would mean the end of Tang Meng and Ling Yun’s friendship. Therefore, it was understandable for him to take all necessary precautions.

Tang Meng laughed sheepishly. “Brother Chuan, it’s not as if you don’t know how capable I am. This is my first time working on such a huge task, it makes sense for me to be a little jumpy…”

The both of them had practically grown up together wearing the same set of pants, of course, Li Qingchuan knew what was going through Tang Meng’s head. He looked at Tang Meng funnily and replied, “I think you’re dead set on following Ling Yun to the end of the world. At this rate, you might even end up rebelling against your father for Ling Yun’s sake…”

Tang Meng’s cheeks turned bright scarlet as he retaliated while scratching his head. “That would depend on the situation…”

Li Qingchuan let out a hearty laugh. “Alright, it wasn’t necessary for you to pay me a visit. Even if Ling Yun casually gave me a phone call, I would pour my heart into it and do my best to complete this task. Just wait for my call!”

Tang Meng hastily nodded his head before chuckling. “I shall make a move then, I still have a lot of things to do for the day!”

Li Qingchuan opened the door and got off the car before closing the door in a carefree manner. He then waved his hand and yelled, “Get lost!”

Tang Meng started the engine of his Hummer and made a quick U-turn before speeding away.

Li Qingchuan watched as Tang Meng’s car sped away into the distance. It was only after a long time that he shook his head and sighed, “That’s amazing, tens of millions of dollars. Without power or influence, how on earth did Ling Yun get his hands on such a large sum of money?”

Just as those words left his mouth, Li Qingchuan took out his cell phone and made some phone calls as he sauntered towards the Municipal Council Headquarters.

…

Tie Xiaohu took less than 20 minutes to arrive at Ling Yun’s house. He did not travel by taxi, but instead on foot.

“Come in!” Tie Xiaohu was greeted by Ling Yun’s voice just as he arrived at Ling Yun’s front yard.

Ling Yun looked up and glanced at Tie Xiaohu as he entered his yard and could not help but nod to himself. What a great potential candidate for self-cultivation!

As Tie Xiaohu stood in a corner of the yard, towering everything around him, Ling Yun had already noticed something. Not only had Tie Xiaohu completely understood and mastered the Great Dayan Star Technique that had been imparted to him by Ling Yun, Tie Xiaohu was already capable of multitasking. He was constantly practicing the set of techniques with every breath he took, absorbing the power and energy from the sun, moon, and constellations in order to train his body.

Right now, Tie Xiaohu’s muscles were still as huge and bulging as before, but they were shaped more elegantly and smoothly. They no longer resembled piles of rocks where chunks of tense muscles were stacked together. The muscles that he had now were undoubtedly more flexible and possessed more explosive strength!

Tie Xiaohu’s arrival also piqued another person’s interest. Obviously, the other person would be Xiao Meimei, who was in a daze as she sat on the couch.

She took one look at Tie Xiaohu and gasped out in shock, “The peak of Houtian Level 1!”

Ling Yun gave a satisfied smile and asked, “Did you run here?”

It had taken Tie Xiaohu less than 20 minutes to run more than 10 kilometers, yet his heart rate was normal and his face was not flushed, neither was he panting for breath.

Tie Xiaohu was rather proud of his training achievements from the past two days as he had stayed home and trained furiously for both days, just so he could give Ling Yun a surprise the next time they met.

“Yup!” Tie Xiaohu nodded enthusiastically.

“Do you feel something? How are you feeling right now?” Ling Yun continued asking.

“I feel…great!” Tie Xiaohu stuttered for quite some time before finally coming up with an appropriate adjective to describe this feeling.

“That’s great! How do you feel about collecting money from other people?” Ling Yun smiled as he asked that question.

“Amazing!” Tie Xiaohu did not even hesitate before giving his answer, responding with a wide smile and gleaming eyes.

Ling Yun nodded once again. “Come with me!” he said before turning around and heading into the house.

Upon entering the living room, Ling Yun pointed towards Xiao Meimei who was sitting on the sofa and said, “From now onwards, let her teach you how to commit murder.”

Xiao Meimei gave Tie Xiaohu a seductive smile but remained seated in the same position, leaning lazily on the sofa.

Tie Xiaohu had not anticipated Xiao Meimei’s seductive smile and his heart skipped a beat. He dared not make direct eye contact with Xiao Meimei’s soul-capturing eyes and looked down frantically as he responded with a resounding “Yes!”.

Tie Xiaohu was obsessed with martial arts and took no interest in women. Naturally, he did not embarrass himself as Tang Meng had. However, for reasons unknown, even though he had zero interest in the opposite gender, a simple glance from Xiao Meimei was enough to send chills down his spine, making him shiver from within.

Once again, Ling Yun thoughtfully shot a glare at Xiao Meimei and fell silent. Feeling uncomfortable, Xiao Meimei averted her eyes with an unnatural expression on her face.

“I’ll let the two of you get to know each other better…” Ling Yun said casually before returning to his bedroom once again.

This was the biggest room available in the entire house, the master bedroom. There was a 2-meter-long corridor between the living room and the master bedroom which was barely wide enough for two people to stand side by side. It was just enough to block the field of vision for those who sat in the living room.

Therefore, Ling Yun could just open the door and enter the room without worrying about Tie Xiaohu and Xiao Meimei catching a glimpse of Zhuang Meifeng asleep in bed.

Ling Yun stood beside the bed and bent over slightly before breathing down Zhuang Meifeng’s radiant bare skin that was as smooth as a baby’s bottom. He then said to her gently, “Stop pretending to be asleep. Get up and get ready to go shopping for clothes!”

Zhuang Meifeng kept her beautiful phoenix eyes tightly shut as her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Her soft full lips suddenly curled into a seductive smile as she extended both of her arms simultaneously, wrapping them around Ling Yun’s neck and pressing his head onto her well-rounded bosoms.

“Naughty hubby, how did you know that I was already awake?” Zhuang Meifeng pouted her sexy lips as she whined lazily.

How would Ling Yun be able to respond when his entire face was being smothered by Zhuang Meifeng’s ample bosoms?

He raised his palm and aimed it at Zhuang Meifeng’s bouncy and well-rounded a*s before giving her a light spank. A clear *piak* sound could be heard, the exact same sound that had been heard countless times last night. Finally, he was able to break free of Zhuang Meifeng’s embrace.

“Your breathing betrayed you. The sound and speed of your breaths differ when you’re asleep as compared to when you’re awake.”

Ling Yun flashed a smile as he explained it to Zhuang Meifeng. “Now that you’re awake, get out of bed soon. I can hear the sound of Tang Meng’s Hummer’s engine roaring in a distance…”

“I’m not done sleeping yet. I really don’t want to get up…” Even though Zhuang Meifeng said that she was reluctant to get up, she still got up into an upright sitting position by supporting her body with her arms. She then gently shook her head from side to side before rubbing her phoenix eyes with her pale and slender hands.

Her voluminous hair covered her shoulders and bared back while a few strands lingered before her humongous breasts. With a twist of her delicate waist, she crossed her legs together, her legs that were as pale as snow. As this scene unfolded before Ling Yun’s eyes, a lump got caught in his throat and his larynx began to tremble violently.

This scene reminded him of the wild things they had done to each other last night. If it was not for the fact that he could not ruin his body of pure Yang energy, Ling Yun definitely would have devoured Zhuang Meifeng last night!

“Hubby, what are we doing today?” Zhuang Meifeng began putting on her bra as she felt Ling Yun’s gaze burning on her skin. Even though she was unable to hide the redness on her cheeks, she had no intention of shying away as she got dressed.

“We’ll head to the bank then shop for your clothes!” Ling Yun chuckled.

“Alright, wash up soon after you get out of bed. Tang Meng’s here,” he said before picking up Zhuang Meifeng’s body that was practically presented to him and gave her a kiss. He then left the room to greet Tang Meng as he arrived.

“Boss, I’ve spoken to Brother Chuan about the villas. He said he’ll get back to me as soon as possible!” Tang Meng leaped out of his car right after parking it and started yelling as he dashed into the front yard.

“Come in, we’re about to leave soon.”, Ling Yun said while waving at Tang Meng.

After entering the house, Tang Meng gave Ling Yun a general update with regards to the purchasing of the villas. 20 minutes later, Zhuang Meifeng was done washing herself up and the 5 of them left the house together. All 5 of them crawled into the Hummer and set off for their first destination, ICBC.

Tang Meng was driving and Tie Xiaohu was riding shotgun. Ling Yun was seated directly behind Tang Meng, with the beautiful Zhuang Meifeng by his side, followed by the seductive Xiao Meimei who was seated right beside Zhuang Meifeng.

Up till now, Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu, brains and brawns, had both been recruited as Ling Yun’s subordinates. With Ling Yun as their main focus, the three of them had come together to form a force that would terrify the whole of China in the future, The Iron Trio!

Today, both Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu made an appearance by Ling Yun’s side together, following him to collect the debts from the Qingyun Film Company. This signified the beginning of The Iron Trio’s reign over the entirety of China, the beginning of their valiant and extraordinary lives!

Ling Yun gently wrapped his arm around Zhuang Meifeng’s tiny little waist as he gave her a loving smile. “Later, after I’m done settling some business in the bank, I’ll bring you shopping for your clothes. Have you thought of where you want to go?”

Zhuang Meifeng gently bit her lips and shot a seductive glare towards Ling Yun as her heart filled with joy. She replied shyly, “That depends on whether you’re willing to spend a lot of money!”

Ling Yun burst into laughter. “Relax, today is our big day. We’re buying villas today, as if a few pieces of clothing would matter. Just buy whatever you want to buy and buy as much as you want!”

After obtaining 50 million dollars in one night and being treated like a king by Zhuang Meifeng last night, Ling Yun was in an extremely good mood.

“You’re the one who said it, you’re not allowed to go back on your words later on, alright?” Zhuang Meifeng began drawing little circles on Ling Yun’s chest with her long and slender fingers as if they were alone in the car.

“I will definitely keep my word!”

Tang Meng knew that Ling Yun had a lot on his plate today, thus, he ended up speeding throughout the entire journey. Soon enough, they arrived at the biggest trading center in the city center and parked the car at the entrance.

All 5 of them got off the car and entered the trading center, with Ling Yun leading the way as he kept his arm wrapped around Zhuang Meifeng’s tiny little waist. Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu followed closely behind on either of his sides, whereas the sexy Xiao Meimei observed her surroundings out of habit before following them into the building.

It was 9:20 am and the bank personnel had just come in for work. The sight of 3 guys and 2 girls sashaying into the bank as they exhibited an exuberant vibe was enough to capture all of their attention.

They simply could not help themselves. Anyone out of the five of them would be eye-catching enough, let alone all five of them standing together.

Ling Yun arrived before the counter with Zhuang Meifeng in his arms and handed his debit card to the bank staff seated before him. With a bright smile plastered on his face, he said, “I’d like to check my balance!”

Three minutes of waiting had never felt this long to Ling Yun before. However, three minutes later, Ling Yun finally heard the trembling voice of the female bank staff seated behind the counter who was visibly shaken!

“Good morning sir, you have 8.1 million USD deposited in your bank account, which is equivalent to 50.5 million in Chinese currency!”

The female staff’s voice was nowhere as melodious as Zhuang Meifeng or Xiao Meimei’s voice. However, to Ling Yun’s ears, her voice was the sweetest sound in the entire world!

50.5 million, it felt f*cking amazing!
