Chapter 494: Chapter 494 Without You, It’s All the Same_1

Mu Cheng looked at the middle-aged man in astonishment, refusing directly.

Not to mention that Medicine Mountain was acquired by Zhang Xian and she had no right to make decisions on her own, even if it were an ancestral property, she would never sell it, let alone to a foreigner.

The middle-aged man chuckled: "Miss Mu, there is no such thing as a failed negotiation in this world. We can discuss further, don’t refuse so quickly."

Mu Cheng stood up and declared: "I won’t sell it! Da Meng, please show him out."

"Miss Mu..." The middle-aged man rose to his feet: "You don’t agree because you think it’s not worth it. What if I can offer a price you find worthwhile? I’ve already mentioned, as long as you give your consent, money is not an issue, aren’t you keeping Medicine Mountain to make money too? With plenty of money at your disposal, you can do more business and earn much more."

Mu Cheng said, "It’s not about the money. I have no intention of selling, no matter how much money you offer, it’s meaningless. So, please leave!"

"Alright, sorry to have disturbed you." The middle-aged man gave a small laugh and turned to leave.

After watching the trio leave, Zhu Qing frowned and asked, "Who are these guys? Why do they want to buy Medicine Mountain? Even though the market for wild medicinal herbs is booming lately, buying Medicine Mountain is clearly not a long-term plan, it doesn’t align with businessperson’s style. Moreover, such a large Medicine Mountain is undoubtedly a sky-high price."

"Hmm, you’re right." Mu Cheng nodded in agreement, "Yesterday’s call from Zhang Xian might be related to this matter, I suspect that they won’t let it go."

Zhu Qing asked, "So what do we do now?"

Mu Cheng smiled, "Don’t worry, Zhang Xian will take care of this matter, we just need to stay at home."

"Hehe..." At those words, Zhu Qing began to laugh.

Mu Cheng glanced questioningly at Zhu Qing, "What are you laughing at, girl?"

Zhu Qing said, "Nothing, just thinking that Zhang Xian is pretty awesome. Having a man like him spares a lot of trouble, although it’s a bit lonely."

Mu Cheng laughed derisively, "Oh? Is our Qingqing feeling lustful? Missing a man?"

"Sister, you have the audacity to mock me?" Zhu Qing retorted, "At least I’ve been in a relationship before, what about you? You’re still an unmarried girl! Sister, I’m really worried for you!"

Mu Cheng glared at her angerly, "Get lost, trying to make fun of your sister?"

Zhu Qing laughed out loud, "Who told you to laugh at me? You’re sure to lose if you compete with me on this. You better behave yourself in the future."

Mu Cheng grimaced involuntarily, then charged at Zhu Qing, "You little brat, you dare threaten your elder sister, are you asking for a beating? I’ll show you today."

...

At the gate of the Mu’s residence in Sunset Town.

The middle-aged man reached his car and turned back to look at Da Meng, "Sir, you seem to have a pretty good relationship with Miss Mu."

Da Meng was stunned and replied, "It’s alright, what are you asking for?"

"Would you be interested in managing Medicine Mountain for me?" The middle-aged man smiled, "I think you are a capable guy, you shouldn’t just be as you are now."

Da Meng laughed, "Sir, are you joking with me? If there’s nothing else, please carry on."

"A man who is content with his current status is not a competent man. A man without ambition is not a competent man either." The middle-aged man posited, "I can offer you a broader stage, as long as you help me get Medicine Mountain, I can present you with endless wealth and glory, and elevate you to an unattainable status."

Da Meng shrugged, "I’m not interested."

"I’m rather curious, could you tell me why?" The middle-aged man asked in confusion.

He believed the conditions he proposed were attractive, but the man in front of him didn’t bat an eyelid, he found it hard to believe what kind of treatment could be so alluring to him.

Da Meng said, "You were just blowing smoke, I may not be able to enjoy it. If you’re a smart man, you would stop coveting Medicine Mountain."

The middle-aged man frowned, "Are you warning me?"

"It’s not a warning, it’s advice." Da Meng replied, "As for the rest, I’ll say no more, please carry on..."

The middle-aged man hesitated, then got into the car. The nonchalant expression on Da Meng’s face just now had suddenly made him, a very confident man, feel under pressure. This Sunset Town, seemed to be a lot more complicated than he had thought.

Last time, an agent sent by the organization to seize Medicine Mountain was killed here in Sunset Town.

"What’s the next step?"

A woman, who hadn’t spoken yet, casually played with a delicate butterfly knife, not even lifting her head as she stated, "Those guys, seem to be showing me no respect. We, are the representatives of God."

The middle-aged man smiled coldly, "Let’s go back for now, there is nothing that we can’t get as God’s representatives. Because, we are God’s representatives."

...

Around noon, in Sunset Town, in front of the grand mansion of the Mu’s family.

A military jeep drove from one direction, then suddenly braked to a stop at the entrance.

Da Meng, who was chatting with his boys at the entrance, waved his hand and gathered everyone around. It was a tense situation, anyone who wanted to enter had to first pass through him.

"Da Meng..."

After getting out of the car, Zhang Xian called out with a smile.

"Brother Xian..."

Da Meng was taken by surprise, he quickly smiled and went to greet him, "What brings you here?"

"Brother Xian..."

The underlings straightened their bodies right away and respectfully greeted.

"Eh?" After getting out of the car, Han Xiangyu said, "Zhang Xian, you still have underlings here? Don’t tell me you’re involved in the mafia."

Zhang Xian turned his head with a disconcerted face. "Which of your eyes sees me as a gangster? Wouldn’t I be too honest to be mixed up with a mafia? Do I need to deal with the mafia? "

"Cut..." Han Xiangyu dismissively said, "Stop being narcissistic, I just heard someone calling you ’big brother’."

Zhang Xian said, "So if they call me ’big brother,’ I’m a gangster? What’s your logic?"

"What business is it of yours?" Han Xiangyu retorted angrily.

Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched unnaturally a few times, unable to be bothered arguing with Han Xiangyu anymore. He looked at Da Meng and asked, "Has anything happened over the last few days?"

"Something did happen today," Da Meng said. "This morning someone came to Elder Sister Cheng, said they wanted to buy Medicine Mountain. Elder Sister Cheng didn’t agree."

Zhang Xian gave a cold smile. "Just as I suspected, those folks are eyeing Medicine Mountain."

"Brother Xian, should we get rid of them?" Da Meng grinned. "We’ve found where those guys hang out, if Brother Xian gives the word, we can take them out anytime."

Zhang Xian said, "Let’s go in first, we’ll talk about dealing with them later."

"Okay, your sister-in-law and Elder Sister Cheng are both here." Da Meng nodded and quickly led the way.

Han Xiangyu jumped up and grabbed Zhang Xian, asking, "Hey, do you have a wife? How come I don’t know about it?"

Zhang Xian asked in confusion, "Why would you need to know whether or not I have a wife? I’m really curious, I can’t follow your logic, it feels really strange."

"Uh..." Han Xiangyu had no reason to refute and was very frustrated.

Soon, the group entered the mansion.

Seeing two beauties wrestling on the couch in the living room with great gusto, they were all frozen in place.

"So beautiful..." Han Xiangyu exclaimed in surprise.

Although the actions of the two women on the couch seemed a bit suggestive, their looks and figures were quite excellent. Whether one of them was Zhang Xian’s wife, they were both very attractive.

Previously, she hadn’t anticipated that Zhang Xian could have such a beautiful wife.

"Um..." Zhang Xian was getting embarrassed and cleared his throat before asking, "Qingqing, Elder Sister Cheng, what are you doing?"

Mu Cheng and Zhu Qing, who were wrestling in the couch, stopped fighting as soon as they heard his voice. Upon seeing Zhang Xian, Zhu Qing even jumped off the couch, prepared to pounce on Zhang Xian.

However, she quickly realised it wasn’t just Zhang Xian present, there was also another beauty. She abruptly stopped the step she had taken and pouted.

"What are you two doing?" Zhang Xian asked with a smile.

Mu Cheng said, "Nothing!"

Zhu Qing looked at Zhang Xian and asked curiously, "Zhang Xian, who are these people?"

After introducing everyone, Zhang Xian explained, "These are my friends who are here to carry out a task."

"Oh, is that so!" Zhu Qing’s mood brightened considerably after hearing this.

However, she knew Zhang Xian’s character all too well. Having a beautiful woman at his side felt somewhat uneasy. She wouldn’t put it past him to be chatting and then sneak into bed.

"Zhang Xian, I believe we are here for the task." Cao Jianxin interrupted, "You delaying us here could lead to our failure, and we’d have a lot to explain to the team leader."

Zhang Xian replied, "Your legs are under your control. You can go if you want, I’m not stopping you."

"You..." An enraged Cao Jianxin’s mouth twitched, "Are you suggesting I go on the mission alone?"

Zhang Xian reasoned, "I didn’t say that, it was you who wanted to leave. As for the task, I have my own boundaries. If you don’t want to follow, you can leave. With you or without you, it’s all the same."

"You..." Cao Jianxin was almost spitting blood.

What did Zhang Xian mean? What did he mean by it’s all the same with or without him?

"Zhang Xian, what do you mean?" Han Xiangyu complained, "We’re brothers in the same team, isn’t it a bit excessive for you to say things like this?"

Xiaolong also frowned. He could feel that there seemed to be a conflict between Zhang Xian and Cao Jianxin, which rarely happened in their team, Skynet, nor would it happen on a mission.

Coincidentally, when the mission was delegated, Cao Jianxin had volunteer to participate, despite Zhang Xian already being in the team.

"It means nothing." Zhang Xian didn’t bother explaining.

Others might not know, but he clearly knew Cao Jianxin’s intent in accompanying them. The mere fact that he had ties with the Cao Family required him to be on guard.

"Fine! I’ll wait, but if the task fails, you’ll bear full responsibility." Cao Jianxin replied, seething.

Zhang Xian shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Fine by me, you can head back now if you like."

"Um..." Xiaolong intervened to mediate, "Zhang Xian, Brother Xin, we’re all on the same team and on a mission together. Let’s not fight amongst ourselves."

Cao Jianxin snorted, turned away and ignored Zhang Xian.

"Uh, what’s going on here?" Mu Cheng asked, perplexed. "What task are you here to carry out?"

Han Xiangyu turned to Mu Cheng and said, "Beauty, that’s a secret, we can’t tell. Don’t ask. If it gets leaked, Zhang Xian will be in trouble."
