Chapter 595: I Think I’ll Be Chosen!
Zheng Jiangliu thought to himself, Only Jiao Hanzhong and I know about the Sea Burial Lotus Flower that was found in Indigo Azure City’s coastal sea. Jiao Hanzhong had taken care of everyone else who knew. Not even Zheng Wenbo is sure of the details. Since Jiao Hanzhong died, I’m the only one left who knows. Now that the Sea Burial Lotus Flower is dead, I have to keep this information to myself if it’s the last thing I do. If Second Young Master finds out about the Sea Burial Lotus Flower, he’ll punish the third lineage for sure.
Jiao Hanzhong had been the strongest person in the Zheng family’s third lineage.
Jiao Hanzhong was dead. Hence, the third lineage had now become the weakest link in the four lineages, which initially stood side by side.
Zheng Jiangliu needed to find a reliable source of support for the third lineage, even if the new source of support was greedier than a fearsome tiger!
Zheng Kaiyuan glanced at Zheng Jiangliu.
“Since the third lineage wants to side with me, they better focus on developing the coastal sea. Other matters are unimportant. I want 90% of the profits.”
Zheng Jiangliu almost cracked his teeth with the force that he was grinding them together.
An evil smile appeared on Zheng Kaiyuan’s cold face. He looked askance at Zheng Jiangliu and said lightly, “What’s wrong, Third Uncle? Do you disagree with me?”
Zheng Jiangliu’s tightly gritted teeth trembled. The tremors were so strong that he tasted blood.
He yanked Zheng Wenbo, who was behind him and knelt on the floor.
“Your ideas are always the best, Second Young Master.”
The kneeling Zheng Jiangliu started to guess to himself.
The moon has been bright the past few days. The concentrated moonlight illuminated Indigo Azure City’s coastal sea. That’s the exact location where I sent Jiao Hanzhong to kill the masked youth.
However, this guess was terrifying, and Zheng Jiangliu dared not dive in too deeply.
Although the Zheng family had not experienced any disasters in the past two weeks, Zheng Jiangliu thought it would be best to stay on his guard.
If the Zheng family crossed someone that was untouchable, even the Miao family who supported the Second Young Master would burst into flames.
The top faction that was the Miao family would be burnt to a crisp.
When Zheng Kaiyuan heard Zheng Jiangliu’s response, he glanced at Zheng Jiangliu haughtily but did not address him again.
However, Zheng Jiangliu’s uneasiness has diminished.
Although this matter stemmed from the Zheng family’s third lineage, they had managed to dig themselves out of the hole by offering the coastal sea’s resources.
Zheng Jiangliu just needed to focus on developing the coastal sea resources and increasing profits.
Zheng Kaiyuan would handle all the problems.
By reading in between Zheng Kaiyuan’s words, he was prepared to fight the faction behind the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Yuan and Chu Ci were done spending New Year’s at the Radiant Moon Palace. They returned to the mansion the next day.
Back at the mansion, Lin Yuan and the rest had a reunion dinner together. They initially planned on going shopping in the afternoon, but the first snow of the year arrived.
The snow was heavy. It covered the Royal Capital like a blanket of white goose feathers.
The Return from Faraway Mansion’s plants and Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus were covered with a thick layer of snow.
The group watched as the snow became heavier and discarded their plans to go shopping. Instead, they made a variety of intricate dishes with Liu Jie.
The snow descending from the sky gave Lin Yuan a good feeling.
The snow was a good omen that heralded a warm and healthy spring.
The snow bore the hope that the coming year was going to be smooth sailing.
Chu Ci had always been the quiet type. However, she was rather restless now. All she could think about was going to watch the Allstar Match tomorrow.
Lin Yuan felt that Chu Ci was even more lively than Genius and Chimey combined at that moment.
He watched Chu Ci pace around him.
Lin Yuan knew that Chu Ci had something to say to him, so he patted the seat next to him on the sofa and said, “Stop pacing. You’re making me dizzy. You can tell me anything.”
Chu Ci planted herself next to Lin Yuan and giggled. “Big Brother, there might be a challenge match at the Allstar Match tomorrow. I have a feeling that I’ll be picked! That’s why I want to evolve the Varja Butterfly to Fantasy Breed today.”
Lin Yuan affectionately pinched Chu Ci’s nose and said, “When did you become so superstitious? I can’t believe you’re trusting a sixth sense. If so, I think I’ll get picked too!”
