"Yes, we'll get back to work. Level that plot of land for me!" Zhao Qibing nodded.

"Young Master Bing, according to our planning map, there's an orphanage right next to the shantytown. What do you say — should we get that plot of land into our hands as well?" The shantytown plot was not square but L-shaped, and one section of it was the orphanage.

At first, Li Cihua had had no designs on the orphanage either, but now that he had lost a hundred million on the headquarters tower and another three million to Wei Zhao, his coffers had drained badly, and the shantytown alone would be hard pressed to make up the losses.

"An orphanage?" Young Master Bing thought it over. "What's its background?"

"No background at all. Just a private charity orphanage. The land was originally donated free of charge." Li Cihua knew a fair amount about it.

"All right, you find someone to go and negotiate with them and secure it along with the rest. We're building a high-end modern residential compound, and we have to claw back our earlier losses — otherwise I'll have no way to explain myself to my father!" The moment Zhao Qibing heard it was a private orphanage, he stopped worrying. What background could an orphanage possibly have?

"Young Master Bing, are we still holding the completion ceremony for the group tower this time?" Li Cihua suddenly remembered the last completion ceremony and asked.

"Hold it, my ass! Wasn't last time humiliating enough?" Young Master Bing glared at Li Cihua. The mere mention of it set his blood boiling: "You want me to attend a completion ceremony sitting in a wheelchair? That Wei Zhao is a walking time bomb planted right along the road, liable to go off at any moment. If we don't get rid of him, there'll never be a moment's peace!"

"But the man doesn't even seem to get hurt. Uncle Zhu is no match for him, and neither is the Medicine King. What can we do?" Li Cihua truly was out of ideas. "Huh? A time bomb?"

At Young Master Bing's words, Li Cihua's eyes suddenly lit up!

"What about a time bomb? You've got a plan?" Young Master Bing caught Li Cihua's expression at once and asked hurriedly.

"There's an old saying: however good your martial arts, you still fear guns and cannons! Why must we go head-to-head with him? Why not try a little strategy?" Li Cihua suggested.

"You mean we use firearms against him?" Young Master Bing was slightly taken aback.

"That time bomb you mentioned just now put the idea in my head. We can plant a time bomb in his car, and the moment he starts driving — boom, he's dead." Li Cihua had finally thought of a way to deal with Wei Zhao.

"Plant a time bomb in his car? That's a good idea, but the opportunity won't be easy to find." Hearing Li Cihua's suggestion, Young Master Bing thought it was not bad at all — at the very least it spared them a head-on clash with Wei Zhao!

Who knew whether Wei Zhao's strength had recovered? Well, so what if it had? One bomb and he'd be dead. Let's see how arrogant he could be then.

"I do have an idea." Li Cihua mused for a moment. "Only, it might cost a bit of money..."

"Money is no concern. As long as we can kill Wei Zhao, what does money matter? Once Wei Zhao is dead, whatever we spend now we'll earn back later!" Zhao Qibing waved his hand carelessly.

"Then it's easy!" Li Cihua said. "When the time comes, we can do such and such..."

Li Cihua laid out his plan. After hearing it, Young Master Bing pondered for a moment and nodded. "Good, then we'll do it that way! Start finding people to arrange this at once — the sooner the better. I don't want Wei Zhao alive in this world a single moment longer!"

"Don't worry, Young Master Bing. Leave these matters to me. I have connections." Li Cihua nodded.

After Wei Zhao and the others finished their meal, Fatty Lai had meant to settle the bill, but when he asked, he learned that Baldy Boss Wu had already taken care of it. Fatty Lai didn't argue; he knew it was thanks to Wei Zhao's clout, so he arranged to treat them next time.

He also didn't want to keep tagging along and bothering Wei Zhao, so he took a taxi and left from the restaurant entrance, while Wei Zhao drove Mother Tang back to the hospital first — she had just bought a house and naturally wanted to take the floor plan to Tang Jucheng so the two of them could study it together.

Wei Zhao and Tang Yun then returned to school.

"Thank you — for today!" Tang Yun said to Wei Zhao as she got out of the car.

"Thanking me? What for?" Wei Zhao smiled. "You still owe me a kiss, don't you? When are you going to make good on it?"

Tang Yun's face went red at once. Thinking back, she had agreed to it before, and it seemed she really had never made good on it. She had meant to put him off, but then she suddenly remembered Shen Yushu saying that she and Gu Mengyao had both kissed Wei Zhao, and Tang Yun felt a stab of annoyance. She was Wei Zhao's girlfriend — she hadn't even kissed him, yet others had beaten her to it?

So Tang-mm nervously glanced around. There didn't seem to be anyone about, so she quickly pecked Wei Zhao on the cheek, then said, flustered, "There, I've paid you back."

"That doesn't count as a kiss, does it?" Wei Zhao found it rather funny.

"Why not? If I say it counts, it counts." It had already taken a great deal for Tang Yun to do even this much.

"Ha, fine. Then it counts." Wei Zhao touched the cheek Tang Yun had kissed. It felt... pretty good, actually?

And yet, why did it feel about the same as when Xiaoshu kissed him?

Of course, Wei Zhao didn't dare say that out loud — if he did, Tang Yun would kick him to death.

The two of them were just wondering what to do next when they heard a startled cry!

"Wow, so this is why you two skipped class — you're hiding out here kissing?" Liu Xinwen came running over, loud-voiced and out of breath.

She had spotted Wei Zhao's car going past from a distance earlier, but her shout had never reached Wei Zhao's ears, so Liu Xinwen had chased after it, all the way to the snack street behind the school — and then she saw Tang Yun kiss Wei Zhao!

So Liu Xinwen, as though she had stumbled on the scoop of the century, came rushing over.

"Xinwen, what nonsense are you talking? When were we kissing?" Of course Tang Yun wouldn't admit to what she had just done — not to Liu Xinwen, either. If Liu Xinwen knew, then everyone would know.

"Am I seeing things? I clearly saw you kiss Wei Zhao!" Liu Xinwen was not so easily fooled.

"We were whispering secrets!" Tang Yun glared at Liu Xinwen. "You're the one making a fuss over nothing! Why aren't you in class? What are you doing out here?"

"It's lunch break right now! You weren't at school either, and I was bored all by myself, so I was just wandering around the school gate, when I suddenly saw Wei Zhao's car go by. I called out to you but you didn't hear, so I ran after you!" Liu Xinwen said.
