The village beauty and me!

A moment later, Zhao Jingjing watched as the pickup truck, now with license plates, slowly drove along the main road of the county town.

With a somewhat serious expression, he asked, "Are you really going to go see that housing development developed by Yanping?"

"Why bother? Isn't everything fine now...?"

Chen Huan kept a cold face, looked out the window, and didn't reply.

Zhao Jingjing felt a chill for no apparent reason.

The car's air conditioning wasn't on yet, but in the middle of summer, it felt like a cold breeze was blowing through, giving her goosebumps.

Zhao Jingjing didn't dare to speak anymore. She drove quietly, and even when she was blocked on the road, she didn't dare to honk or curse.

The somber atmosphere persisted until the car arrived at a construction site on the outskirts of the city center.

The construction site isn't very big; there are only two buildings.

However, it is quite tall; I counted about eighteen or nineteen stories, and the area is indeed quite large.

"What's this place used for?" Chen Huan asked, looking at the buildings ahead through the car window.

Zhao Jingjing thought for a moment, "I think I heard someone say that they wanted to build a large shopping mall that would offer a one-stop shop for eating, drinking, and entertainment."

"We're currently preparing for renovations."

"Are you sure it was Ma Yanping who invested?" Chen Huan asked again.

Zhao Jingjing nodded seriously, "Didn't I tell you? It's already been reported in the newspapers."

"He's now a very famous young entrepreneur in our county, a prominent figure."

"It's said that these two buildings have cost over a billion yuan so far, all of which came from their family."

"Even in the provincial capital, the Ma family has a certain amount of power and status."

Chen Huan snorted, "Rich but heartless, they deserve to die."

"What did you say? Who are you going to kill?" Zhao Jingjing became nervous.

Chen Huan still did not answer.

Instead, he carefully examined the exterior of the two buildings, gradually frowning and muttering to himself, "These two buildings have a rather strange design."

Zhao Jingjing blinked. "It's a modern style, I guess."

"There's nothing strange about it. It's just that a connecting corridor was built on the upper floors, so that people in the two buildings can travel back and forth via the sky bridge."

  

"It can also serve as a viewing platform; the design is quite good."

Zhao Jingjing was only referring to the appearance, but what Chen Huan meant by "strange" was actually the shape and the overall feel of the form.

To be more specific, it is related to the Five Elements and Feng Shui.

He pointed out the window and asked Zhao Jingjing, "Take a good look, don't these two buildings connected in the middle look like a guillotine?"

Zhao Jingjing was stunned for a moment. "What, the guillotine?"

"You mean the kind that executes prisoners?"

After saying that, he stretched his neck and looked at it carefully again. Then his eyes lit up. "Oh, now that you mention it, it really does look a bit like one. There's a pole on top, and there's a passage connecting the two buildings below. It's even shaped like a crescent moon, just like a guillotine."

"You have quite an imagination."

Chen Huan snorted, "It's not that I have a vivid imagination, but even you can see it, which means that the person who designed these two buildings did it on purpose."

Zhao Jingjing asked疑惑地, "Why would you do that on purpose?"

"The guillotine is unlucky, who would do that?"

"Could it be that they're thinking of treating everyone who comes here to buy things as easy prey? That's quite possible."

"I've heard that in many big cities, the office buildings built by capitalists have these kinds of rules."

Chen Huan shook his head, denying it again, "No, this layout isn't aimed at the people inside the building."

"Who are you targeting? I've noticed you're acting a bit strange today. Shouldn't you take your head to the hospital to get it checked out? We're not short of money anyway, so it's good to find out early and get treatment sooner rather than later." Zhao Jingjing looked at Chen Huan with a strange expression.

I almost couldn't resist reaching out to touch his forehead to see if it was hot.

Then it was concluded that Chen Huan must have been filled with resentment and jealousy because he saw that Ma Yanping, the enemy who had harmed his two brothers, was doing so well now.

Chen Huan didn't say anything, but simply pushed open the door, got out of the car, and headed towards the construction site.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhao Jingjing became increasingly nervous. She turned off the car, turned on the hazard lights, and immediately got out and followed.

"You don't need to come with me, just wait for me a moment." Chen Huan waved his hand without turning his head.

Zhao Jingjing instinctively stopped and stared blankly as Chen Huan's figure disappeared beyond the construction site fence.

Chen Huan grabbed the metal fence and easily climbed over it without much effort.

The construction site is almost finished, so there aren't many workers at this time.

Chen Huan himself was dressed very simply, and even if someone saw him, they would just think of him as a worker.

Taking advantage of this convenient location, Chen Huan went directly to the nearest building, took the stairs, and climbed all the way up to the roof.

Standing on the rooftop, one can see almost the entire city below.

"Making such a cunning arrangement is definitely meant to target others."

"The question is, who should we deal with?" Chen Huan tried hard to activate the part of his inherited memories about feng shui secrets, hoping to find some help from it.

However, after circling the empty rooftop, Chen Huan didn't find anything.

Just then, the sun in the sky was blocked by clouds, and the surrounding light dimmed. Then the light returned, and a huge projection was cast from the building where Chen Huan was located onto the ground.

The shadow crossed the road and fell directly on a six-story, ingot-shaped building across the street.

"Jinhua Shopping Mall?" Chen Huan had excellent eyesight and immediately spotted the golden sign on the building.

Then his eyes gradually became intense, and he quickly went to the window to observe carefully.

The two buildings he was in now cast shadows that were firmly locked over the ingot-shaped shopping mall.

"Understood."

"Ma Yanping wants to suppress the shopping mall across the street." Chen Huan finally understood the purpose of this layout after a moment's thought.

According to the information provided by Zhao Jingjing, one of the two multi-purpose buildings here is a shopping mall, and a large, high-end one at that.

Chen Huan had never heard of the Jinhua Shopping Mall across the street before, but judging from its decor, it was a recent opening.

In some places, there are still colorful flags and banners hanging up to celebrate the opening.

The original shape and location of the shopping mall were based on feng shui principles.

The gold ingot itself symbolizes attracting wealth.

Unfortunately, the layout created by Ma Yanping's two buildings has now directly seized control of the situation, effectively giving them a firm grip on it.

"If the other side doesn't crack this, they'll probably go bankrupt soon. Ma Yanping is really ruthless." Chen Huan gradually frowned.

Just then, I suddenly heard very faint footsteps behind me.
