My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 554: The Evil Cultivator Wang Tian 1

The restaurant owner, Zhang Chi, looked at him indifferently: "Who do we have here? It's Boss Li. You've raised a fine son, daring to cause trouble in my restaurant and provoke our esteemed customers."

Li Zhenghong quickly suppressed his shock and bowed with a smile, saying, "Boss Zhang, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

Zhang Chi shook his head slightly: "There's no misunderstanding. Your son made a bet in public, and since he lost, it's only right that he pays the bill for the entire meal as agreed."

Li Zhenghong turned and glared at Li Mingjie, trembling with anger. But Li Mingjie, still oblivious to the situation, continued to sob and complain, "Dad, they're all in cahoots! What normal person eats without paying? They made an exception for Zhang Lei; it's clearly a conspiracy to swindle me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenghong looked at Zhang Chi, his tone somewhat tentative: "Boss Zhang, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Zhang Chi remained calm: "That gentleman is our restaurant's most honored guest. He can dine here for free for life. This is a rule set by the Zhang family."

Li Zhenghong was deeply shocked. To be able to enjoy the privilege of free meals for life at a restaurant under the Zhang family's control, this person's identity and background must be unfathomable.

Zhang Chi's tone grew colder: "No need for further words. Quickly settle the bill and take your son away. Keep a close eye on his temper from now on. If I hear him speaking rudely to that distinguished guest again, I won't be so kind to him anymore."

Seeing Zhang Chi's firm stance and lack of room for negotiation, Li Zhenghong dared not waste any more words and immediately signaled his attendant to settle the bill. Then he turned to Li Mingjie, raised his hand, and delivered a resounding slap, angrily shouting, "Get the hell out of here! You're always idling around and causing trouble!"

Li Mingjie wanted to argue, but when he met Li Zhenghong's cold gaze, he could only shut up in frustration.

Li Zhenghong bowed to Zhang Chi and apologized: "Boss Zhang, I have offended you greatly today. It was all because of my son's unruly behavior. I apologize to you on his behalf."

Zhang Chi waved his hand and said calmly, "You don't need to apologize to me. The person who should apologize is that distinguished guest from earlier."

After saying that, he ignored them and gestured for them to leave on their own.

Filled with apprehension and resentment, Li Zhenghong led Li Mingjie and his group away in a car. Inside, he glared at Li Mingjie beside him and asked in a deep voice, "Just who have you offended?"

Li Mingjie was still unconvinced: "What kind of big shot could he be? He just looks like an insignificant country bumpkin. I saw him at the Zhou family's charity auction before, who knew he could be connected to the Zhang family."

Li Zhenghong knew that although his son was a playboy, he wouldn't recklessly cause trouble. He immediately instructed his secretary, "Secretly investigate this Zhang Lei's background. Make sure you find out his origins and background. Be careful and don't let anyone notice anything."

The secretary bowed and replied, "Yes, boss."

Li Mingjie, sitting to the side, already hated Zhang Lei with a vengeance and secretly plotted revenge.

After a moment of silence, Li Mingjie suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Dad, the reason I acted impulsively today was because I ran into Zhou Weiran. She told me that the trouble at the Cloud Top Building was resolved by a Taoist priest named Xuan Yangzi."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenghong's face instantly darkened, filled with disbelief: "Impossible! Master Wang Tianyi's methods are so profound, how could a scheme he set up be so easily broken by an unknown Taoist priest?"

"I didn't believe it at first either, but Zhou Weiran spoke so earnestly that it didn't seem like he was faking it," Li Mingjie said seriously.

After a moment's thought, Li Zhenghong immediately instructed the driver, "Change course and go to Master Wang Tianyi's residence. I want to ask him about the specifics myself."

Not long after, Li Zhenghong's convoy arrived at Wang Tianyi's residence.

This is not just an ordinary house, but a three-story detached building with a spacious and quiet backyard.

At this moment, Wang Tianyi was feeding a black spirit child in the backyard with his two disciples. The spirit child looked like a newborn infant, with a strange smile on its face. Its skin was covered with dense, strange runes, exuding a sinister and evil aura.

Just then, a servant from the basement rushed in to report that Li Zhenghong had come to visit.

Wang Tianyi casually straightened his clothes and said in a calm tone, "Let them in."

Li Zhenghong led Li Mingjie and his group straight into the backyard. Upon seeing Wang Tianyi, they immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Wang Tianyi waved his hand: "Boss Li, there's no need for such formalities."

Li Zhenghong's expression was grave. He cut to the chase and asked, "Master Wang, my good-for-nothing son just told me that the Cloud Top Building issue has been resolved. Is that true?"

Wang Tianyi nodded calmly: "It's true."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenghong was startled and hurriedly asked, "Master Wang, what should we do now?"

Wang Tianyi gave a cold smile: "What's there to be afraid of? He's just a wild Taoist priest with a little bit of skill."

As he spoke, he stepped aside, gesturing for Li Zhenghong to look at the black spirit child behind him, his tone tinged with arrogance: "This is the dark spirit child I have carefully nurtured, which has already devoured the hearts of forty-nine people. With it in charge, I guarantee that all the construction workers at the Cloud Top Building will die a violent death. When the Zhou family can no longer hold out, they will have no choice but to sell the Cloud Top Building to you at a low price."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhenghong immediately burst into laughter, praising repeatedly, "Master Wang's methods are brilliant, truly amazing!"

Li Mingjie stared at the dark spirit child with great interest, a sinister glint in his eyes. He thought to himself: Zhang Lei, let's see how you manage to cause trouble now.

Immediately afterward, Li Mingjie stepped forward and said to Wang Tianyi, "Master, could you use the spirit child to help me eliminate someone?"

Wang Tianyi was slightly taken aback: "Who do you want to kill?"

"He's just an insignificant nobody named Zhang Lei, a country bumpkin who doesn't know his place," Li Mingjie quickly said.

Wang Tianyi remained silent, his expression indifferent.

Li Mingjie instantly understood his meaning and immediately took out a check and handed it over: "Master, this is five million. Thank you for your help."

Wang Tianyi's gaze fell on the five million check, he nodded slightly, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "A piece of cake. You just need to send me a photo of this person for identification."

Li Mingjie immediately smiled and agreed: "Master Wang, don't worry, I'll have someone send the photos over right away."

Li Zhenghong then asked, "Master Wang, when shall we make our move?"

Wang Tianyi said slowly and deliberately, "No rush. We'll wait until the Zhou family is at the height of their power before delivering the most fatal blow. At that time, we'll inflict heavy losses on the Zhou family, severely damaging their vitality. They won't be able to protect the entire Yunding Building even if they wanted to."

After hearing this, Li Zhenghong clapped his hands and laughed, "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

Wang Tianyi looked at him and reminded him, "Remember to settle the remaining payment on time as agreed."

Li Zhenghong immediately nodded and assured him, "Master Wang, please rest assured that as long as the Zhou family causes any more major trouble, the remaining 30 million will be transferred to your account immediately without missing a single penny."

Wang Tianyi nodded slightly, a hint of sinister glint in his eyes: "Just wait, you'll see the results soon."
