Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

He couldn't distinguish between real and fake luxury goods and jewelry, nor did he know their value.

"They're, they're worth a lot... I bought them for tens of thousands."

Zhang Xinxin saw that the other party seemed unsatisfied and quickly explained.

Chen Xuliang didn't have the time to distinguish, so he threatened them again with a knife: "Any more?! Give me everything! And from those two beside you!"

Seeing Chen Xuliang's fierce gaze fall on them, both Da Xuan and Lili shivered slightly.

They hurriedly took off the bracelets and watches from their bodies, trembling, and threw them in front of him in a panic.

After Chen Xuliang quickly gathered everything, he glanced around, knowing he couldn't stay long, and threatened the three of them with the knife:

"Stay quiet, don't even think about calling the police!

I've remembered you all. If you dare call the police, I'll come after you!"

Seeing the three nodding in fear, Chen Xuliang felt a bit relieved, then glanced around before slowly backing out the door...

...

Old town, East Slope Road.

Outside Xinfang District.

A black business van was parked by the roadside.

Seeing this, the expression of a young man with yellow hair at the district gate changed slightly. He put out his cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can next to him and hurried over.

"Brother Cat."

Seeing the business van's electric door open, Huang Mao respectfully said in a low voice to a bald, short, and obese middle-aged man inside the car: "Just over here."

Brother Cat, although less than 1.7 meters tall, had a face full of fierce flesh, with a sinister look in his eyes, making people shiver.

He glanced at the district gate through the car window and said lightly: "Can Chen Xuliang afford to live in there?"

"He probably doesn't live there."

Huang Mao quickly replied: "When I ran into him nearby, I immediately called you, then followed him all the way.

Found out he seemed to be tailing someone else, and even bought a fruit knife, probably planning a robbery."

"Robbery? Him?"

Brother Cat raised an eyebrow, seeming a bit surprised, then chuckled lightly: "Looks like he's feeling forced too..."

"Brother Cat, what should we do now?"

In the car were two tall men who couldn't help but ask after hearing about the situation.

"Let him rob if he's going to rob, we'll catch him after he's done, won't he have money to pay us then?"

After hearing Brother Cat's words, everyone realized, exchanged glances, and all showed sinister smiles.

And Brother Cat lit a cigarette, gazing lightly at the district gate: "We'll wait here, wait for Chen Xuliang to come out.

Hope he can rob more, so it's convenient to repay us."

...

"President Li, we've arrived."

Outside Xinfang District, a black Maybach steadily parked by the roadside.

Hearing Ah Liang's respectful and low voice, Li Jing slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the district gate outside the window, and nodded slightly: "Thank you, you can head back first, I'll go home after dinner."

"No problem, President Li, I'll have a meal nearby and wait for you to come out."

Ah Liang smiled honestly: "President Wei told me to ensure your safety getting home on workdays, no matter when it is, even in the evening it's within my work scope, otherwise, President Wei wouldn't pay me such a high salary."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing thought it would indeed be inconvenient to go home later, so he didn't say much more, nodded, and got out of the car.

Watching Li Jing walk into the district alone, Ah Liang parked the car, got out, and moved a few steps away before taking out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and started smoking.

Blowing out a smoke ring, Ah Liang glanced around, looking for a place for dinner.

For meals during such work periods outside, he could go back to the company to reimburse, without bearing the costs himself.

While looking for a restaurant, Ah Liang's eyes caught a business van parked ahead.

Normally, a business van wouldn't be strange, but he saw three or four adult men sitting inside through the windshield, each of them looking anything but kind, which made him frown slightly and take a few more glances.

Ah Liang had served in the military for several years, not only having good physical fitness but also having a strong sensitivity to danger, which was why Wei Jia finally chose him to be Li Jing's driver and bodyguard.

Ah Liang noticed the people in the van, and the people inside also noticed Ah Liang, whose physique was obviously bulkier than an average person.

"Who is that man? He seems to be observing us."

"He doesn't look like a good guy, could it be that Chen Xuliang found us and brought backup?"

Upon hearing the discussions among his companions, Brother Cat narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully scanning Ah Liang not far away, then said in a low voice: "Impossible, that man got off from that Maybach, probably either a thug or a bodyguard."

Thinking of Li Jing who had passed in front of their car earlier, Brother Cat continued to analyze: "That person entering the district just now should be someone wealthy, this man is waiting specifically for him.

Don't provoke him, he probably won't take the initiative against us, this guy is not someone to mess with, let's just catch Chen Xuliang, don't create additional problems."

"A wealthy person coming to this district?"

Sitting in the car, keeping an eye on the district gate, Huang Mao scratched his head, puzzled, and asked.

"Heh, you might not know, wealthy people indeed wouldn't live in such places, but such places are perfect for hiding mistresses."

Brother Cat seemed to know these things well: "Many officials and wealthy people hide mistresses in various districts, and they come to such districts eight or nine times out of ten to see their mistresses."

"So that's how it is."

Huang Mao seemed to have learned something phenomenal and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Cat, that man just now looked quite young, could he be a boss or an official?"

"How would I know, but regardless of either case, it's beyond what we can handle."

Brother Cat gave Huang Mao a sideways glance, frowned, and said: "Stop daydreaming, keep an eye on the gate for me."

"Oh, okay."

Huang Mao, intimidated by Brother Cat's cold gaze, shrunk his neck, then leaned seriously on the car window, watching every person coming out of the district.

He had already scouted this district, there was no way anyone could leave except through this main gate.

...

Meanwhile, Li Jing had reached the building where Zhang Xinxin lived.

Zhang Xinxin rented an old apartment, with no elevator, all stairs.

Li Jing pondered for quite a while at the unit entrance but couldn't remember which floor she lived on, so he could only dial her number.

As he took out his phone, a man wearing a baseball cap came out of the unit door, with a bulging backpack on his back.

Li Jing merely glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze and continued dialing Zhang Xinxin's number.

But when the call went through, a crisp, clear ringtone echoed from the backpack of the man in the baseball cap.

When the ringtone sounded, both Li Jing and the man in the baseball cap froze for a moment, looking at each other.

Li Jing, somewhat puzzled, glanced at the other's backpack, but thinking it was a coincidence, he didn't think much of it and continued dialing.

The man in the baseball cap initially ignored Li Jing, but upon this situation occurring, he instead re-evaluated Li Jing.

Then, as if realizing something, the baseball cap man's expression changed noticeably, and he actually turned to Li Jing and said: "Boss, are you looking for Miss Zhang on the fifth floor?"

He had learned a lot of information from following Zhang Xinxin's group by overhearing their conversations, including Zhang Xinxin's name and the fact that a big boss, Li Jing, was coming to celebrate her birthday.

Seeing Li Jing, with his high-end attire and extraordinary demeanor, he immediately thought of the Li Jing that Zhang Xinxin mentioned.

Originally, he wanted to leave, but upon thinking that Li Jing would surely call the police if he went upstairs and saw Zhang Xinxin now.

Zhang Xinxin's group didn't have phones, but Li Jing did.

And most importantly, the smooth robbery earlier boosted Chen Xuliang's confidence, and now seeing Li Jing decked in designer brands, the greed in his heart grew again.

Hearing this, Li Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the man in confusion: "How did you know?"

"Heh, I'm a delivery guy. I just delivered to Miss Zhang's home and heard them say a friend would arrive soon, so I guessed it's you."

As he spoke, Chen Xuliang smiled: "I happened to leave something upstairs earlier, can I go up with you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing had some doubts but chose to go upstairs, meanwhile hung up the phone that was going unanswered.

As Li Jing hung up, the sound from the phone in Chen Xuliang's backpack also stopped simultaneously.

Initially puzzled, Li Jing paused his steps, turned intending to speak to the person behind, only to see Chen Xuliang flash an amicable and gentle smile:

"Boss, hurry up, Miss Zhang said she's waiting impatiently."
