190: Chapter 190: Being Targeted Again 190: Chapter 190: Being Targeted Again Zhao Guang left all the tinkering to Liu Jiayin, only handling the transportation of goods, and that was all. With the injection of a large amount of capital, the periphery of Gui Province was now abuzz with activity. Even within Gui Province, food prices were steadily rising, and this time Zhao Guang could be said to have benefited the entire province. What he hadn’t anticipated was that under such circumstances, someone would actually set their sights on him. Not long into the afternoon, just as Zhao Guang was preparing for a trip to the Otherworld, he received a phone call. The call was from Third Master Li. “Third Master Li, may I know what instructions you have for me?” Third Master Li was influential, and he had previously facilitated gold transactions, reducing many troubles for Zhao Guang. But Zhao Guang was not afraid of him now. After all, with so much gold delivered and a continuous stream still coming, no one dared to touch him, especially Third Master Li, who knew the inner workings. He did not know how important this person was to those higher up, but he knew he himself was certainly very important. “Haha, dare I not, you are now more useful in the eyes of those above than I am. I am just a grunt doing the dirty work, how would I dare to instruct you?” This time, Third Master Li’s attitude was very gentle. There was no help for it; initially, they thought Zhao Guang bringing a large amount of gold was useful to those above. Moreover, there was a plan that required a massive amount of gold, so they pushed Zhao Guang forward. It was all a matter of timing, but no one expected Zhao Guang’s capability to be so astonishing. Having control over so much gold was not something ordinary people could achieve. Moreover, Zhao Guang was just the visible figure. No one would believe that he alone brought so much gold, but no one knew who was behind him. To placate Zhao Guang, they would not antagonize him. “How could that be? I am just a peddler who sells stuff, how can I compare with you?” “Let’s stop blowing smoke at each other. I’m not looking for you for any particular reason this time, but rather because there is trouble.” “Trouble? What do you mean, aren’t those above supposed to take care of all my troubles?” “It’s usually the case, but some things the younger generation does themselves are not something those above can directly intervene in.” Hearing this, Zhao Guang understood, it seemed someone else was eyeing him now. The person who had set their sights on him had a background that was not simple, so those above did not actively intervene to avoid trouble. Perhaps when he could no longer hold on, they might be able to gain even more from him. If he showed weakness, then they could get more benefits through the person who had their sights on him. Indeed, some matters should not be taken lightly. “What’s the situation? Does someone want to cause me trouble?” “Let me be clear, I’m just giving you a heads-up; this isn’t my decision to make. A certain Young Master Fang wants a share of your Da Manjin, so he might look for you.” “Young Master Fang? Who is he, and he says he wants it?” “I only know that this Young Master Fang is from the Beijing Fang Family, and his mother’s family is in the jewelry business, the company being Liu’s Jewelry. Recently, Da Manjin has earned a big reputation and is about to go public, so it’s been targeted.” Third Master Li spoke cautiously, “But don’t worry, as for the gold and your pig farming business, no one dares to touch them.” Nonsense, Zhao Guang rolled his eyes. Gold was under the scrutiny of those above and was not something any mere Young Master would dare meddle with. As for pig farming, it was a money-burning stage, currently more about spending than earning. Of course, if they knew the piglets he acquired were special, he wondered what they would do then. Clearly, one could only rely on oneself, sometimes even those above were unreliable. Or maybe, this Young Master Fang from the Fang Family might also be one of those above, and they did tend to give face to their own. So, presumably, the only one in trouble was him, right? Possibly, they were testing him to see how flexible his attitude was. In an instant, Zhao Guang thought through many scenarios, but he did not find a way out of the situation. It seemed he had no choice but to fight back hard. “Speaking of which, I’ve already gone public to raise funds. They still want my shares, do they not realize that some things have been brought in by me?” “Of course, they don’t know that. Some matters need to be kept confidential.” Zhao Guang was annoyed, “So it means only those above can take advantage, and if trouble really happens, my losses don’t matter. In the end, it’s those above who can’t afford to lose, right?” “How can you say that? After all, it’s not a small trouble. If you’re willing to communicate directly with those above, it can be resolved.” “Direct communication? And then owe them a favor, which will probably cost me even more later on, right? Do you believe that if it affects me, I’ll just start over from scratch, because all the stuff is mine anyway?” “Don’t do that; it will affect your credibility. Besides, they can also choose not to harm you.” Not harm him, who could that be? Wait, the Guo family. A glint flashed in Zhao Guang’s eyes, “Whether it’s me or my partners, if real problems arise, I will not sit back and wait. If even my partners are changed, how can I trust them?” Zhao Guang didn’t wait for a response and said, “Just don’t touch my bottom line, or I definitely will start anew.” This was clearly a threat. Because what he referred to as starting anew was not merely about jade or gemstones. It also concerned gold. If Zhao Guang moved the gold to another country, that would be a big problem. “Fine, I understand your point, and I will relay it. But some things are individual actions, and those above can’t always monitor things so strictly, so please be patient.” Third Master Li, wiping the sweat from his forehead, realized this young man was not easy to deal with, and it seemed like the probing had failed. This man was not easy to speak to or deal with. Forget it, he would faithfully report the situation; how it would be handled was for them to decide. After hanging up the phone, Zhao Guang looked up at the night sky. Some people, it seemed, had been treated too well by him. He had spent all his money domestically, truly thinking they could handle him as they pleased. Golden Body was created for his protection, and if he could not protect himself, then there was no point in persisting. Zhao Guang sighed. His foundation was the Space Gate, something that couldn’t be moved. If not for that, he might have left this place long ago. So, it was his own strength that was too weak. He had to strengthen himself, especially his business power. With sufficient strength on his own, others would have to think twice before acting against him.
