Zuo Daquan instinctively felt suppressed in front of Kanaja. If it were a decade ago, he would've been able to straighten his back and face Kanaja. But in Bangkok, this man was richer, more powerful, and more powerful than him, so he could only tuck his tail between his legs and behave.
"You don't need to deal with the reconstruction. This is my place, so it's up to me to solve it. But I appreciate your kindness, "said Zuo Daquan.
Kanaja's expression changed and he solemnly said, "I think you misunderstood me. The reconstruction of your place was given to me by Mr. Tang. I naturally need to find the construction team and pay for it. You owe me money, so the salary will be directly deducted from the money you owe me. So I hope you know what to say and do in front of Mr. Tang. "
Zuo Daquan instantly understood Kanaja's meaning. He was expressing goodwill to Tan Xiu! Furthermore, if Tan Xiu was a person who valued friendship, he would probably accept this favor. Zuo Daquan could only force a wry smile inwardly. Nowadays, it was easy to repay money, but a favor was the most difficult to repay!
As the saying goes, there was once an opportunity for Tan Xiu to owe him a favor, but he didn't cherish it. Only when he lost it did he regret it. Nothing could be more regretful than this in the world. If God gave him another chance, he would never miss it. If he could add a foundation to this opportunity, he would definitely serve him with all his heart and soul, even treating him like an ancestor.
With a bit of regret, Zuo Daquan was about to speak when his expression suddenly shifted. He saw his daughter, Zuo Qing, and two well-behaved grandsons escorted by several of his trusted men in the distance.
"Qing 'er."
Zuo Daquan strode forward to greet her.
Zuo Qing was dumbfounded at the moment. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that this place would turn into ruins not long after she left.
Could it be …
Her father's guess was right. Tan Xiu really colluded with the Huangs and came here to retaliate?
"What the hell is going on, Dad?" asked Zuo Qing with an ugly expression.
"What else could it be?" Zuo Daquan forced a wry smile. "It's Tan Xiu!"
Sure enough!
"I'm really sorry, Dad," said Zuo Qing bitterly. But Divine Doctor Tang is a well-known philanthropist in our country. I find it hard to believe that he would collude with the Huang family to harm us. Could there have been some misunderstanding? "
Zuo Daquan stared blankly and looked at his daughter's bitter expression. He immediately let out a dry smile and said, "There's indeed a big misunderstanding here, Qing 'er. In fact, I misunderstood Mr. Tang. He didn't collude with the Huang family. I even believe what you said. He really helped me settle things with the Huang family. He can be considered as our family's benefactor. I said that this was caused by Mr. Tang because Mr. Tang's enemies had a conflict with him here. They had a fierce fight, and we were just affected by it. "
Zuo Qing's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "You mean … Divine Doctor Tang didn't mean to destroy this place, Dad? Instead, he was fighting the enemy? He, he, he … how is he now? Are you hurt? "
"Qing 'er, you don't need to ask so many questions in one go even if you care about Mr. Tang!" Zuo Daquan forced a wry smile. I don't know either … "
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Zuo. I'm fine."
Tan Xiu hugged Tang An and descended from the air and instantly appeared in front of everyone. He released Tang An's waist and supported her arm. Then, he smilingly said, "I'm really sorry for making you like this, Mr. Zuo. Don't worry, I will make it up to you. "
Zuo Daquan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no. It's alright. Mr. Tang, when you fight with the enemy, you don't mean to destroy my place. I … "
Saying.
He suddenly thought of Kanaja and turned his head to look at him. What made his heart skip a beat was that Kanaja was looking at him with an unfriendly gaze. If he said that he didn't need Tan Xiu to pay for the rest of the damage, Kanaja would bear a grudge and perhaps retaliate after Tan Xiu left.
Tan Xiu was keenly aware of the strange atmosphere between Zuo Daquan and Kanaja. He faintly smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble you this time, Mr. Kanaja. Consider this Tan Xiu owes you a favor. Please don't hesitate to ask me if you need my help in the future. "
Kanaja had been waiting for Tan Xiu's words. He was overjoyed inwardly and smilingly said, "You're being too polite, Mr. Tang. It's my honor to be able to serve you. You can rest assured that we've gathered all the corpses and will burn them later. Also, you ordered me to rebuild this place, so I'll contact the engineering team later to work overtime to rebuild this place as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about this place and just leave it to me. "
"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you." Tan Xiu nodded. "Remember to tell me how much you'll spend after you rebuild this place. I'll transfer the money directly to your account."
"No, no, no. You're a guest from afar, so how can I make you spend money?" Kanaja hurriedly said. Mr. Tang, consider the cost of rebuilding this place as my gift to you! That's right, I've also arranged this. I want to invite you to the Colorful Fallen Petals tomorrow night. I wonder if you can do me the honor? "
The Colorful Fallen Petals?
Tan Xiu recalled the liner on the Chao Phraya River. He heard that it was a paradise on Earth. However, he had other things to deal with and didn't have the time for the time being, so he said, "You've seen the situation here today, Kanaja. Singkuo has escaped, but there's still a fish that escaped the net. Hence, I'm afraid I can't spare the time to accept your invitation for the time being. How about this? After we've dealt with all the enemies in Singkuo and Bangkok, I'll personally prepare a gift and visit you. You can have a meal anywhere you like at that time. "
Kanaja didn't feel dissatisfied with Tan Xiu's refusal. Instead, he became more excited after hearing Tan Xiu's words. He firmly nodded and said, "I'll clean the bed and wait for you, Mr. Tang, since you have something to do."
Tan Xiu said, "Everyone, please continue with your business. This grand-disciple of mine is seriously injured and needs to find a quiet place to recuperate."
Zuo Daquan had been trying to find a way to express his goodwill to Tan Xiu. Upon hearing his words, he immediately said, "My place has turned into ruins, Mr. Tang, but there's an underground warehouse inside. If you don't mind, you can recuperate in the underground warehouse. "
In a flash …
Several of Zuo Daquan's men looked shocked, puzzled and worried.
"If so, please lead the way!" Tan Xiu nodded.
Zuo Daquan complied and then gave some instructions to his trusted men. He then led Tan Xiu and the others to the ruins. When they came to a collapsed building, a dozen strong men quickly cleaned up the surroundings and revealed a door leading to the underground.
Kacha!
The sound of the door was heard and a staircase leading downward slowly appeared in front of everyone.
As Zuo Daquan led everyone down, he explained, "This underground warehouse is actually a place where I store gold. It might be a bit messy inside, but there's a room that's very clean and well-equipped with all kinds of furniture and appliances. I often come down here to think about some things."
An underground warehouse used to store gold?
Tang Xiu's expression shifted and he instantly probed the inside with his spiritual sense. To his surprise, the area of the warehouse below was very large. It was more than a thousand square meters, and there was a lot of gold stored inside, all neatly arranged on the shelves. The only room in the innermost side was not only well-ventilated, but also very clean and well-furnished.
"It's here, Mr. Tang."
Zuo Daquan had been paying attention to Tan Xiu's expression. When everyone came to the door, he noticed that Tan Xiu only glanced at the gold and then ignored it. This situation made his heart, which was hanging high in the air, feel much more at ease.
"It's a good place."
Tan Xiu nodded and then said, "An, recuperate well. We'll stay here for the time being."
"Understood, Grand Master."
Tang An respectfully replied. She then entered the room and closed the door from the inside. She wasn't used to being exposed to others for a long time. If it wasn't for her Grand Master, Tan Xiu, she would have already left.
Tan Xiu then shifted to Zuo Daquan and lightly said, "What are you doing hoarding so much gold here, Mr. Zuo? Are you buying it at a low price and waiting to sell it at a high price? "
"I'll be frank with you, Mr. Tang." Zuo Daquan forced a wry smile and said, "I have a gold mine that produces a lot of gold every year. Some of it is exchanged for cash, while the rest is stored. However, the price of gold has plummeted recently, causing me to accumulate a lot of gold that I can't sell. I owe Mr. Kanaja a lot of money, but I can't pay him back. So I'm planning to use the gold to repay the debt according to the current market price. "
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment before he nodded and said, "The price of gold has indeed plummeted recently. But it's really rare for you to own a gold mine! "
"I paid a great price to get that gold mine a few years ago." Zuo Daquan forced a wry smile. "Although I've earned back the money I invested in it in recent years, the gold mine is about to be depleted. I originally planned to wait for the price of gold to rise before exchanging it for cash. But now it seems impossible for me to do so in a short time. "
"What's the current price of gold?" asked Tan Xiu.
"290," answered Zuo Daquan.
Tan Xiu turned to Kanaja and asked, "Kanaja, you won't mind if I buy gold from Zuo Daquan, will you? Of course, I know that the price won't be too high if he wants to use gold to pay off his debt. But the price I buy from him should be higher than the current market price. "
"I don't mind. He doesn't owe me much anyway," said Kanaja straightforwardly as he shook his head.
