Fengcheng fliegender General

Kapitel 27

Gao Jinze looked up, and his gaze toward Qi Qi grew stronger inch by inch.

Then he nodded.

Qiqi smiled genuinely with joy.

The two men were tightly embracing each other in the cramped front seat of the Porsche.

The phone in Qiqi's bag rang, which was quite an unpleasant surprise.

Qiqi was only hugging Gao Jinze, too lazy to take her away.

But the phone kept ringing persistently and obliviously.

Annoyed, Qiqi had no choice but to let go of Gao Jinze, opened her bag irritably, and took out her phone.

It is a landline number.

Qiqi pressed the answer button and angrily asked, "Who is it?"

"Qiqi, it's me."

Qi Qi was surprised to hear that it was Mu Feng's voice.

"Qiqi, can you do me a favor...?"

Mu Feng's voice was a little timid.

Qiqi asked somewhat helplessly, "What kind of help? I'm already very busy!"

Mu Feng laughed: "Qiqi, I'm sorry about what happened with Boss Qiu last time. Are you still angry with me? I just thought he was a nouveau riche, stupid and rich, and I wanted you to make some extra money from him. I didn't expect you to be so conscious of resisting corruption. I was so presumptuous and acted like a petty person."

Once the matter was out in the open, Qiqi couldn't hold back any longer. She thought that Mufeng probably didn't mean any harm; he just didn't understand her principles. So, she softened her tone and said, "It's okay, Mufeng, it's not a big deal."

"Could you introduce me to Gao Jinze from Qianqiu Real Estate? I have something important to discuss with him!"

As soon as Mu Feng noticed that Qi Qi's defenses were weakening, he immediately launched an attack.

Qi Qi said unhappily, "You're still acting as a go-between for that Boss Qiu!"

"No, no!" Mu Feng hurriedly explained, "I'm just an acquaintance of that Mr. Qiu... My real identity is an investment consultant for Shanghai Wanjia... If it's inconvenient, I can visit President Gao on behalf of Wanjia, but I'd prefer to talk to you privately—"

What should we talk about?

Qiqi asked coldly.

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed... I only want to say that this involves the 'great cause of resisting Japan'..."

Mu Feng lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

Qiqi thought for a moment and then said directly to Mufeng, "I'll make the appointment for you. You can tell me the time and place."

"I'm right at the entrance of Tianyuan Apartment, ready to be called at any time."

Qi Qi was surprised.

Sure enough, Mu Feng's Buick was parked next to the sales office outside the gate of Tianyuan Apartment.

As soon as the Porsche stopped, Gao Jinze and Qiqi got out of the car.

Mu Feng also emerged from the Bekri.

Seeing the slightly intimate relationship between Gao Jinze and Qiqi, a flash of jealousy crossed his eyes. Then, he put on a smile and came over.

Where do you plan to talk?

Qiqi asked Mufeng.

He was clearly acting as Gao Jinze's agent.

"The meeting is taking place in Room C of the famous Tianyuan Apartment. Isn't Mr. Gao staying in Room A on the 8th floor?"

Qi Qi said, "You know how to pick a place. Today is August 12th, and Building C could collapse at any moment!"

Qiqi scared him.

Mu Feng laughed and said, "Qi Qi, you're not the only feng shui master in Shanghai. You say it's going to collapse, but others say it won't!"

Qi Qi asked curiously, "Who said that?"

"Ayan!"

"Ayan? He said that Building C of Tianyuan Apartment won't collapse?"

Mu Feng smiled and said, "That's right. He just left. He put down the compass in Building C of Tianyuan Apartment and then said, 'It's nothing.'"

Qi Qi was puzzled and went to the violin case in the trunk of his Beetle to take out his ancestral boxwood compass.

Mu Feng and Gao Jinze followed her into the Tianyuan Apartment building.

Qiqi walked quickly to the entrance of Building C of Tianyuan Apartment and put down her compass.

The mountain faces southeast.

Qiqi stumbled along, reaching the vicinity of the center point of the Tianyuan Apartment lobby, and used the compass again.

Qiqi could hardly believe her eyes—

It is still the same—

The mountain faces southeast (巽)!

Not at the boundary between the two hexagrams—

The "Great Void" vanished into thin air!!!

Mu Feng stood at the door, smiling as he looked at her, as if he had expected this: "Ayan just tested it, and there is indeed no 'Great Void Death' anymore. In other words, Tianyuan Apartment Building C only needs to have its foundation reinforced normally, and it will not cause any more misfortune."

Qi Qi looked at Mu Feng in disbelief.

Mu Feng gestured for her to proceed, taking the initiative and saying, "Please, Miss Qi Qi, let's go to Room A on the 8th floor to discuss this in detail."

Gao Jinze personally brewed a pot of Dongding Oolong tea, and the three of them sat down.

Qiqi asked impatiently, "Mufeng, tell me quickly, what did Ayan say?"

Mu Feng took a leisurely sip of tea and praised Gao Jinze, "Good tea, good craftsmanship."

Gao Jinze smiled happily.

Then, Mu Feng turned to Qi Qi: "Actually, A Yan has been to Tianyuan Apartment Building C several times already. He has measured all the buildings in Tianyuan Apartment, ever since Tianyuan Apartment was still a wasteland..."

Not only Qi Qi, but even Gao Jinze was dumbfounded.

Mu Feng said, "Back then, Ayan was still working for the investors of Fenghe Shuiyuan. He came to inspect this land, and the result was that the water vapor was too strong, making it unsuitable for building houses. But his employer was determined to build, and Ayan couldn't do anything about it. Originally, Ayan's former employer's financial strength was no match for your Qianqiu Real Estate Shanghai branch, wasn't that right, General Manager Gao?"

Gao Jinze nodded and said, "Yes, even my dad was shocked. In the end, we had to settle for this piece of land that was far from the riverbank, and the price was more than a thousand yuan per square meter higher."

Mu Feng smiled and said, "That's because—the developer of Fenghe Shuiyuan has someone backing it up—Dilong Industry!"

"Dilong Industry! Them? I've never heard of them having a stake in Fenghe Shuiyuan!"

"Of course, it wasn't an open takeover... During this period, Dilong Industry and our Shanghai Wanjia were vying for control of your Tianyuan Apartments. I secretly investigated Dilong Industry and was shocked by what I found! It turns out that behind Shanghai Dilong Industry is actually Takashima Corporation. In fact, Takashima Corporation has already openly and secretly acquired 90% of Dilong Industry's shares. They made a move on Fenghe Shuiyuan—"

"What chess game?" Gao Jinze pressed.

"Let Building 7 of Fenghe Shuiyuan collapse!"

Mu Feng's words were astonishing!

Gao Jinze shook his head and laughed, "How could that be? You just said that Dilong Industrial, controlled by Takashima Co., Ltd., has invested in the Fenghe Shuiyuan project. If any buildings in Fenghe Shuiyuan collapse, wouldn't their investment be completely lost? Who would do something so foolish!"

Qiqi also found it unbelievable.

Mu Feng smiled calmly and said, "This is precisely where Takashima Corporation's brilliance lies... What will be the consequences if Building No. 7 of Fenghe Shuiyuan collapses?"

"What are the consequences? The remaining units in Fenghe Shuiyuan will not be able to be sold, and the prices of surrounding completed and under-construction properties will plummet. Everyone will suffer!" Gao Jinze said immediately.

Mu Feng continued sipping his tea, saying leisurely, "Yes, this is exactly what Takashima Corporation wants... My family's Fudi Real Estate Agency has branches all over Shanghai, sixteen in Minhang District alone, four of which are in the Hehua Road area. Ever since the collapse of the Fenghe Shuiyuan building, the same mysterious big client has been constantly buying up properties in the surrounding area. After buying them, they list them at prices lower than the purchase price, and as soon as someone tries to buy, they immediately find various reasons to avoid a deal. But if someone tries to sell at a lower price, they will pay a deposit and buy it that same day. In this way, they have accumulated more than two hundred properties in this area in just one month—I have now found out that all these buyers are the same company—Dilong Industrial—which is Takashima Corporation!!!"

Mu Feng finished speaking in one breath and took a big gulp of tea.

Gao Jinze and Qi Qi looked at each other, their mouths agape in disbelief.

Mu Feng said, "Originally, they could have bought it at a lower price... If, one or two hundred families lived in Building 7 of Fenghe Shuiyuan, it suddenly collapsed one night..."

Mu Feng's description sent chills down the spines of both Gao Jinze and Qi Qi.

"In that case, it won't just be Minhang District's housing prices that will plummet; housing prices in Shanghai and many other major Chinese cities will also be affected..."

Qiqi asked, "Could it be that Takashima Corporation originally planned for Building 7 of Fenghe Shuiyuan to collapse after it was fully occupied, rather than collapsing during construction?"

Mu Feng nodded slowly: "Yes. It all started when Yunmen did the feng shui design for Fenghe Shuiyuan—this Yunmen has quite a background. He also has a Japanese name, Inoue Shin. His father was a member of parliament in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, and his mother is from Fujian, China. He himself is a master of the Japanese Nine Chrysanthemum School. In order to establish himself in the Chinese real estate feng shui industry, he indirectly became a disciple of Lai Yixian, a feng shui master in Beijing. After studying for less than a year, he went to Shanghai to make a living. Because of his master's relationship and his genuine skills, he quickly gained fame. He was employed by a special affairs consulting company under Takashima Corporation. He used the Nine Chrysanthemum School's signature move, combining the reverse bow shape of the Pudian River with the unique water energy of Building 7 in Fenghe Shuiyuan, which is closest to the riverbank, to set up a 'water-killing formation'!"

"Then why did the building collapse prematurely?" Qi Qi asked, puzzled.

"Because of Ayan. Ayan happens to be very familiar with the Nine Chrysanthemum School's methods. After parting ways with the investors of Fenghe Shuiyuan, he switched allegiance to General Manager Pan of Shanghai Wanjia. But he still cared about Fenghe Shuiyuan and often came to survey the area. In the end, he concluded that once this 'Water Annihilation Formation' was formed, it was unsolvable and would not stop until it collapsed—because Xu Qin used the ghost of construction worker Zheng Wu to set up a fake 'Great Void' Annihilation Formation in Tianyuan Apartment. As long as Zheng Wu's body was dug up, the 'Great Void' ominous formation would be broken. And when Yunmen set up the 'Water Annihilation Formation' in Building 7 of Fenghe Shuiyuan, the orientation was indeed 'Great Void'... Ayan was also at a loss and could only use all his knowledge to activate this 'Water Annihilation Formation' before many owners moved in, so that the number of innocent people killed or injured when Building 7 of Fenghe Shuiyuan collapsed would be minimized..."

"How can we trigger it in advance?" Qi Qi asked with great interest.

Mu Feng scratched his head and said, "You should ask him in person... He only said something like this: first, during the flood season, they would divert the water vapor to the foundation of Building 7 in Fenghe Shuiyuan, and then divert a 'water dragon' protecting the Pudian River there as well. But the 'water dragon' was caught and accidentally killed by the workers. Ayan's intention was simply to get that poor 'water dragon' to help... Sigh, Ayan said this would shorten his lifespan. Anyway, Building 7 in Fenghe Shuiyuan collapsed prematurely!!"

"Then what about the 'Great Death' at my Tianyuan Apartment? Wasn't that also the work of Takashima Corporation?" Gao Jinze exclaimed.

“No, that’s not it… Although Takashima Corporation is insidious, I can’t frame them… This was a trap set by your Chairman Xu. Ayan didn’t expect him to be so ruthless, actually burying someone born in the year, month, day, and hour of the Earth in the foundation…”

Qi Qi said to Gao Jinze, "If I'm not mistaken, this Chairman Xu also wants Tianyuan Apartment Building C to collapse. In that case, as the general manager of Qianqiu Real Estate's Shanghai branch, you can't escape blame, and it will be difficult for you to compete with him for the chairmanship of Qianqiu Real Estate. It's just that he was unlucky; there were Japanese people setting up a trap for him, which was also a trap to cause the building to collapse. Otherwise, who would have surveyed the feng shui of Tianyuan Apartment? How would they have discovered the 'Great Void' ominous formation? And how would they have dug out that important corpse in the lobby?"

Mu Feng sighed, "Man proposes, God disposes! This Chairman Xu has failed at the last hurdle, his efforts were in vain!"

Gao Jinze broke out in a cold sweat, still shaken by the experience. He said, "I understand... Xu Qin has been with my dad for so long, and my dad knows a bit about feng shui. He didn't dare to directly ruin and demolish the feng shui of Building C in Tianyuan Apartment, and he was also afraid that other feng shui masters would notice something amiss. So, the feng shui setup of Tianyuan Apartment was done very well on the surface. The main entrance and the building's color were all fine. Then, he used Lin Zai as a scapegoat and used that construction worker Zheng Wu to complete the final 'Great Void' building collapse setup. The whole plan was truly insidious!"

Qiqi added: "Originally, the wooden door and the blue color of the Tianyuan Apartment Building C belong to the element of 'wood' in the Five Elements theory. However, this year is the lunar year of 'Ji Chou', and the Grand Duke Jupiter is 'Chou', which belongs to the element of earth. Wood controls earth, causing Tianyuan Apartment Building C to offend the Grand Duke Jupiter. Combined with the 'Great Void', it forms a 'building collapse' formation... It is indeed a brilliant and ingenious design!"

The three of them drank tea in silence for a while.

Qi Qi recalled what Mu Feng had said on the phone earlier and asked, "You just mentioned inviting General Gao to fight against the Japanese, what's going on?"

Mu Feng cleared his throat, looked at Gao Jinze, and said, "President Gao, I am here on behalf of President Pan of the Wan family to have an informal discussion with you."

Gao Jinze had already developed a good impression of Mu Feng and nodded, saying, "Speak freely, we're friends now."

Mu Feng said, "To be honest, this matter is not only related to Fenghe Shuiyuan, but also to Tianyuan Apartment. In our two projects, one has a collapsed building and the other has a dangerous building, both involving issues of refunds, compensation, and price difference replacements... Now we are at a stalemate with the owners... The relevant departments have issued an ultimatum to our Wan family..."

Qi Qi said, "Your boss Pan willingly got involved, probably hoping to make a quick buck, right? Now he can't get out of it."

Mu Feng smiled bitterly: "My dear Miss, our CEO Pan isn't stupid... Who would want to get involved in something like this? But—the relevant departments require us to intervene, saying that we are the number one real estate brand in China, and only if we make a high-profile appearance can the owners of the collapsed Fenghe Shuiyuan building be satisfied... But what about the money? We, the Wan family, have to pay for it ourselves! Who can we reason with?"

Gao Jinze said, "Just tell me what your boss Pan suggested."
