Chapter 1250 - Brother Dali’s True Identity

Chapter 1250: Brother Dali’s True Identity

“He’s playing the stock market?” Zhao Mingguang was a sharp man. He knew that Hong Dali was not referring to the buying and selling of shares like regular people, there must be something more. Then, he thought of the stock market reports all over the headlines the past few days and immediately understood. “You mean, the leader is one of the causes of the stock market crash?!”

“It’s highly possible. Don’t forget he has always been ruthless.” Hong Dali nodded. “Think about it. A stock market crash, especially a bull market crashing like that, what will the result be?”

“The bull market crash will result in major problems for the financial system.” Zhao Mingguang murmured, “If the trouble in the financial system gets more serious—an economic crisis?!”

“That’s right. The leader is up to something big this time.” Hong Dali raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “He’s probably one of the agents the people abroad have in China. As for the complexities of their relationship, I don’t understand. I’m just an ordinary citizen...”

Han Songyang pouted.

Let me be an ordinary citizen too...

“It seems things are really serious this time.” Zhao Mingguang finally understood the magnitude of what the leader had done. This was a national level disaster.

“This will not do. I have to report this to my superiors immediately. We have to get this guy no matter what.” At this thought, Zhao Mingguang immediately left the room to make the call.

What Hong Dali said was very likely correct. With the leader’s character, especially after suffering such a blow due to Hong Dali previously, he was definitely on the lookout for a way to get back at them.

In that case, the next most logical thing for him to do would be to make contact with organizations abroad and then stir up a storm in the domestic stock market.

Once the stock market crashed, domestic turmoil would ensue. Then, there would be an economic crisis. The consequences...

One couldn’t bear to think any further.

“Brother Dali.” After Zhao Mingguang left the room, Han Songyang asked Hong Dali, “Where do you think the leader is? It will not be so easy to catch him, right?”

“I’m not a policeman, don’t ask me this question.” Hong Dali sniffled and said, “If I can do everything, I will be Superman. Why would I need policemen, then?”

“That’s true.” Han Songyang chuckled and stopped talking. At a time like this, the machinery of the state was needed to maintain stability. There was a limit to what one person could do. Of course, with Hong Dali’s net worth, it was not really a big problem. The problem was, he seemed to be really wary of trouble...

After a while, Zhao Mingguang came in, drenched in a cold sweat. He said, “Dali, the situation is indeed like you said. The superiors also suspect that the stock disaster was caused by the gang leader. It’s just that they haven’t been able to arrest him as they cannot figure out where he is. They don’t have a good solution either. The old man is just too crafty. We can’t uncover any clues.”

“I’m not going to care about him, then.” Hong Dali shook his head and said, “I don’t have a good solution if the range is so big. Right, let’s try to stabilize the stock market first. Nothing else is urgent. Since the leader wants to short sell, we’ll just find the right opportunity to wipe him out.”

Although Hong Dali had a task that required him to destroy the Black Dragon Gang, this was not the time to be impatient. The leader was really crafty. The state had been looking for him for such a long time and still had no success. It would be impossible for Hong Dali to find him in a short time.

“But wait a while, let me think.” A light suddenly went off in Hong Dali’s head. A plan began to form in his mind. If this plan of his was successful, he might just be able to resolve this matter...

“Captain Zhao, tell your superiors that I have a good plan. Hehe...” Hong Dali then whispered something in Zhao Mingguang’s ear. After that, Zhao Mingguang seemed stunned. He asked, “Will this really work?”

“How can I guarantee that it will definitely work? I can only say that there’s a chance it will work.” Hong Dali shrugged his shoulders. “Anyway, things have already gotten to this stage. This is the best course of action in this situation.”

“Okay, I will try to get it approved!” Zhao Mingguang knew that it was not the time to be indecisive. He gritted his teeth and agreed.

“That’s all for now. I should go back, I’m a little tired.” Hong Dali stretched, then left the room and called for Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and the others. “Okay, we’re more or less done here. Let’s go back and rest first.”

“Okay, we’ll send you back.” A large group of rich young men very naturally took on the role of his lackeys, escorting Hong Dali out of the Criminal Police Building.

On the way back, Han Songyang already knew that Hong Dali was not an ordinary person. There were many things he dared not ask. Finally, he inquired softly. “Brother Dali, that kid... and Xu Qingqing, what are you going to do about them?”

“If you didn’t mention them I would have forgotten.” Hong Dali thought for a while. Anyway, there was still enough time. He said slowly, “How about this, you help me arrange to buy all the other houses in the Water Creek area these couple of days. Offer double the value for them. I plan to turn it into the largest orphanage in the province. I will transfer you the money when I get back. Is 5 billion enough?”

Five billion was more than enough to buy a few residential areas. Han Songyang was shocked. “That’s too much. When the time comes, I will let you know the amount.”

“That’s too troublesome. Make it five billion.” Hong Dali sniffled. “I plan to visit the city’s orphanage in a few days...” Speaking of which, it really seemed like another world, another life. He wondered if Grandma Wu, who took care of him when he was growing up, was still around and if she was doing well...

...

In the evening, in the residential area where Hong Dali lived.

Tang Muxin watched as Li Nianwei sat in front of the computer, downloading songs to listen to. She asked with a smile, “Sister Nianwei, are you downloading songs to listen to? How is it? How does it feel?”

“Not bad.” Li Nianwei naturally understood what Tang Muxin meant. She laughed and said, “There are a lot of very familiar songs, such as ‘Never Left’, ‘Rolling up the Beaded Curtain’, etc. Although the melody is a little different from what Young Master taught me, they’re really quite good. I also found several new songs that are very nice.”

“Sister Nianwei, in this case, Dali should really be from this dimension?” Tang Muxin sat next to Li Nianwei and asked softly, “Do you think he... en, that is, he transmigrated to our dimension from here?”

“I remember you said that Young Master was sickly when he was young. In that case, could he have...” Li Nianwei did not say the words that followed, but Tang Muxin understood.

“Well, the possibility is very high.” Tang Muxin nodded. “Actually, I’ve been curious. How could Dali suddenly become so lucky and have so many ideas? In fact, if we think about it, everything he does seems to have been covering up for something. I couldn’t figure it out previously, but it seems he’s a really intelligent person. Hehe.”

“Oh? Why do you say that?” Smiling, Li Nianwei looked at Tang Muxin.

“Sister Nianwei, think about it. If Dali transmigrated from this world, he would naturally know about things that were popular here but were sorely lacking on our side,” Tang Muxin cleverly said. “At the very beginning, when Dali wanted to buy land, do you remember the reason he gave?”

“I remember. How can I forget? He said he wanted to raise dogs, haha.” It was natural that Li Nianwei remembered these things very clearly.

“That’s it. I specially checked it out a while ago. If I did not check, I would not have known. I was shocked!” Tang Muxin said, “Have you seen the real estate price here? It’s sky-high. The land in Beijing is tens of thousands per square meter. I made a rough calculation of the prices of things here versus our side. It’s about a ratio of 5:1. That converts to around 6,000 to 11,000 per square meters on our side. How much did Dali pay for the land there? 800 to 1,000 per square meter. He’s sharp. Anyone who thinks he’s not will be taken for a ride.”

“Hehe, that’s true. Young Master may seem uncaring and thoughtless, but he had everything under control.” Li Nianwei smiled and nodded. “My concert and the industries that Young Master dabbled in were all very successful. He’s making use of his knowledge. First, he creates the impression that he’s very lucky using his foray into real estate. That way, no one will bat an eyelid at what he does after that. An opening like that is not something an ordinary person is capable of.”

“Not only in this, Sister Nianwei. There’s more.” Tang Muxin smiled and put her arms around Li Nianwei’s waist, smiling. “In the beginning, he did not display any affection for any female. Before we realized it, we were already on intimate terms. By then, it was too late to do anything about it. Sigh...”

“Xinxin,” Li Nianwei blushed and whispered, “You will always be his fiancée. Me, I’m just... just...”

“His confidante, right? Aiya, I’m already used to it, hehe.” Tang Muxin smiled, then sighed and said, “It doesn’t matter anymore. What have we not seen in the universe? Which man in the Shenglong Astral Royal Family does not have multiple wives and concubines? It doesn’t matter anymore once you get used to it. Right, Sister Nianwei, do you have any plans?” Tang Muxin pointed around her with her finger. Her meaning was obvious—she meant in this world.

“Nothing much right now.” Tang Muxin smiled. “Maybe you can learn more nice songs. In fact, I think we can also familiarize ourselves with this world. After we go back, we can do some business too.”

“Hehe. Yes, I think so too!”
