Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Chapter 152: A Man of Many Talents and Wealth Draws People Near

While most of the villagers of Chixia Village were gathered at the village chief’s doorstep, singing and dancing, a dim light lit up in a small wooden cabin on the other side of the village.

The unassuming structure stood out oddly against the backdrop of its pitch-dark neighbors.

Zhao Lang, who should have been on his way to the town, suddenly appeared in a second-floor room.

He walked straight to the desk, opened a drawer, and took out an old-fashioned, seemingly cumbersome senior citizen’s phone.

After opening the battery cover of the phone, he skillfully inserted a small chip.

The next second, the phone lit up with blue light.

...

Zhao Lang then pressed a button on the side and the clunky senior citizen’s phone instantly began to reassemble itself, turning into a handheld computer within seconds.

A blue light projected from the computer fell on the desk, turning into a virtual keyboard.

Zhao Lang’s slender, pale fingertips tapped away at the keyboard, and in no time, the computer’s screen was magnified and formed a projection on the wall.

A man’s voice sounded.

“Tsk tsk, boss, it’s been several months; you’ve finally decided to call me again.”

The screen on the wall lit up, revealing the face of a young man.

Zhao Lang leaned back in the chair behind him and lowered his gaze to twirl the Buddha Beads on his wrist.

“I’ve been a bit busy.”

The young man laughed, “Busy being on TV, right? You don’t know, the brothers were shocked when they saw your broadcast. You’ve been hiding for so long and suddenly showing your face in front of so many people. Not only them, but I was also taken aback.”

Zhao Lang clicked his tongue and lifted his head, “Stop talking nonsense.”

The young man on the screen paused when he saw the thick layer of gauze wrapped around Zhao Lang’s forehead.

“Boss, how did you get injured again? There’s not much in that village; you better not mess yourself up.”

Zhao Lang raised his hand to touch his forehead, and his crimson lips slightly rose.

“I’m not injured,” he said.

Those bandages were just for show.

After all, he didn’t want that girl to see through him.

“Let’s not talk about that,” Zhao Lang stretched his legs and leaned back in the chair. “Did you look at the stuff I sent you this afternoon? Did you find anything?”

“I found something, boss,” the young man said. “It’s a needle from a high-strength anesthesia gun, usually used for hunting large animals. For a dog, if a full dose is injected, it probably wouldn’t survive.”

Zhao Lang’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

Indeed, Lai Fu didn’t die from that animal trap.

In that case, those people were indeed very suspicious.

“How are things going with Mu Bei?” Zhao Lang changed the subject after a moment of silence. “Did you get those oil wells?”

The young man dismissively waved his hand, “How could we not get them? Boss, who are you? Talented and billions-worth, near-undefeatable. We haven’t even played our trump card, and those old guys backed down. Just a few oil wells, how could we not secure them?”

Zhao Lang nodded, “Good, I’ll leave M country in your hands.”

The young man paused, “Boss, what do you mean? Aren’t you planning to show up?”

Zhao Lang smiled, “The big fish hasn’t bitten yet, why would I show myself so easily?”

“You mean… the Gu Family still hasn’t found you? That shouldn’t be.”

Zhao Lang’s eye color darkened, “I’m afraid he’s already taken action.”

Some noises gradually came from outside. Zhao Lang tilted his head and got up from the chair.

“I won’t talk more; contact me if there’s anything else important.”

With that, he didn’t wait for the young man to respond and he cut off the communication, restored the phone to its original state, and put it back in the drawer.

After tidying up, he pushed the door open and walked to the railings, only to look down and see two people who had just entered through the doors.
