However, Alex Lin did not hold much hope of acquiring that piece of land.
Because Chu Ruoxue was far too shrewd.
If there was even the slightest sign of hidden value, she would immediately sense it.When she said she needed three days to "consider," in truth, she was giving herself three days to investigate thoroughly.
In his previous life, Alex failed to obtain this land as well.
In the end, both sides chose cooperation:She contributed the land, he contributed the capital, and they developed it together.
After constant interaction, their relationship naturally grew close, and then…
Now, in this reincarnated timeline, Alex believed she would follow the same pattern.
On the other side—
After a full day of digging, Chu Ruoxue still couldn't find any special value in that land.
Instead, she learned more about Alex Lin's ability and the Lin Investment Company's strength.
Within just half a month, they had really earned 300 million.
"Am I being overly suspicious?"Chu Ruoxue frowned.
Their Licheng Group had been in real estate for many years.They were familiar with market conditions, policies, and development forecasts.
How could they be less informed than a small investment company?
If Alex Lin dared to use all his available funds to buy this land…
It meant the land must have value.
Yet they could not find any information indicating that value—which was extremely strange.
At that moment, her secretary walked in.
"President Chu, Dragon Fang Capital from the imperial capital sent an inquiry.They want to discuss acquiring the land in Jiangnan.They want to buy it."
"We have another buyer?"Chu Ruoxue's lips curved slightly.
Then she frowned again.
"But… Dragon Fang Capital? That name sounds unfamiliar.Is there even such a company in the imperial capital?"
The secretary nodded.
"Yes. I checked.They're a newly formed investment company, but their registered capital is already 1 billion.They are financially strong.Their legal representative is very well-known in the industry—"
After listening, Chu Ruoxue's interest in the land deepened.
What value did this piece of land have…
That not only Alex Lin wanted it,but now another wealthy company was vying for it?
"Did you ask what they intend to do with the land?"
"I did, but they only said 'investment', nothing more."
Chu Ruoxue felt helpless.
She clearly held a treasure in her hands…
Yet she had no idea what the treasure actually was.
The feeling was maddening.
But after a moment, she calmed herself.
The treasure was in her possession—so the one holding the advantage was still her.
A confident smile appeared on her lips.
"Inform Dragon Fang Capital and Lin Investment separately.Tell both sides that the other party is planning to purchase the land.Whoever offers the higher price—I'll cooperate with them."
"Yes, President Chu."
This news quickly reached Alex Lin.
"Dragon Fang Capital?"Alex smirked."The third protagonist appears already?"
This third protagonist was from the "useless son-in-law" genre.
He was the famous man who started his legend by washing his wife's feet.
The "Crooked Dragon King."
Originally, he was the young master of a powerful hidden family.But due to family rules, he had to live outside for three years without revealing his identity.
During that time, he married into a small wealthy family and became a humiliated live-in son-in-law—regularly washing the feet of his wife and mother-in-law.
When the three years ended, he wanted to unleash all the grievances he had endured and rise to the top.
But…
Alex Lin happened to pass by him.
Perhaps it was Alex's overwhelming villainous aura…
But the Crooked Dragon King wanted to show off in front of him.
And Alex slapped him to death with a single palm.
Unsatisfied, he came back again.
And Alex slapped him to death again.
In this repeated cycle of reincarnation and resurrection,Alex destroyed not only the man's personal influence,but also the reputation of his entire family.
In the end, he was kicked out by his in-laws as well,unable to even keep his identity as a useless son-in-law.
Among all protagonists, this one had been the most troublesome.
He possessed power, backing, and a protagonist's halo—everything went his way.
Unfortunately for him…
He encountered the Demonic King Alex Lin,and everything turned to ashes.
Now this protagonist wanted to buy the Jiangnan land?
Alex's grin widened.
"Interesting…Life after reincarnation gets more entertaining every day."
Every protagonist was playing with completely different cards than before.
Fascinating.
After all—
A calm life was meaningless.
Only when protagonists challenge him one by one, and he crushes them with ease,does life become enjoyable.
"I love it when you resent me…but can't do anything about it."
