Mu Weishuang: "This Zhao Siqian is a leading figure among the younger generation of the Zhao Family and is very prestigious. He has a lot of bodyguards protecting him, so it's difficult for ordinary experts to get close to him. Trying to kill him quietly is challenging, especially when making it look like an accident, which makes it even harder."
Li Chuan nodded. Silently taking out these people wasn't actually difficult for him; the challenge was making it look like an accident.
Li Chuan didn't want to cause a big commotion right now because he still wanted to go back to being a civil servant.
So, directly targeting Zhao Siqian was the best approach.
Li Chuan: "This Zhao Siqian, he really likes horse racing?"
Mu Weishuang nodded: "That's right. Many rich young masters like beautiful online celebrities, stars, and such, but Zhao Siqian is different. He only likes horse riding and racing, and his family raises many precious horses."
"It's still early, let's take a walk around the horse market." Li Chuan thought for a moment and immediately came up with a way to get close to Zhao Siqian.
The plan was to buy a horse and have it compete in the race. As long as his horse could win the championship, it would surely catch Zhao Siqian's attention.
If he really loves horses, he would definitely spend the money to buy this horse.
That way, he could get rid of him without a trace.
Fifty minutes later, Mu Weishuang and Li Chuan arrived at the local racetrack.
There were all kinds of horses here, international, domestic, famous, and not-so-famous ones.
Li Chuan didn't want to find a horse that looked very impressive. The more ordinary the horse he found, the better the effect.
After walking around three times, Li Chuan's eyes fell on an entirely dark, old horse.
This horse was very skinny, with some of its fur already turning white, half-squinting its eyes—it was a typical old horse that wouldn't live for another two years.
"Boss, how much for this horse?" Li Chuan looked at the stable owner.
The owner didn't expect anyone to take a fancy to this lethargic old horse. Was this guy a fool? But whether the other side was a fool or not, he didn't care, as long as he could make money. Thinking about this, he immediately stepped forward: "Young master, if you want to buy this horse, I'll give you a discount price, 5,000 bucks."
The stable owner wanted to sell for a little more, but thinking about it, he still didn't ask for more since he had a tiny bit of conscience left.
Rather than letting this horse die in his stable, selling it to this young man could at least ease his worries.
"Alright, I'll take it." Li Chuan didn't haggle, directly took out his phone to scan the code, and paid five thousand bucks.
Then, he led the old horse, which even struggled to walk, out of the stable.
Mu Weishuang followed beside him, her face full of confusion: "Wait, after all that choosing, you bought this old horse? Are you sure it can win the race and attract Zhao Siqian's attention?"
Li Chuan smiled confidently: "Did you forget how I made you into a Grandmaster?"
Mu Weishuang was taken aback. Although Li Chuan sounded reasonable, after pondering, she felt his words were odd: "Why do I feel like there's a hidden meaning in your words? Are you secretly insulting me?"
Li Chuan chuckled but said nothing more. Then he found a pet store, washed the horse, and bought some high-quality feed.
Of course, just doing that wouldn't make an old horse win the championship. So, Li Chuan needed to feed it Pills.
These methods were only achievable by Li Chuan.
Revitalizing an aged horse to win a horse race championship was something ordinary people wouldn't even dare to imagine.
Li Chuan reached out and placed his hand on the old horse's body, channeling True Qi into its body, unblocking its meridians. Soon, the old horse's eyes changed from dozing to vibrant.
Even Mu Weishuang found it unbelievable to see this scene.
Then, Li Chuan took out a bottle of Pills, placed it near the horse's mouth. The old horse, following the scent, came over and took the Pill into its mouth.
Moments later, the old horse raised its front hooves high, its whole body filled with a sense of power.
Li Chuan patted the horse's head with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Now, we can go to the racetrack."
...
Zhao Siqian loved horse racing. He even spent a fortune to build a racetrack himself.
Initially, Zhao Siqian built the racetrack just to ride and keep horses. Later, when many of Su Bei Province's elites learned about this racetrack, they often came to unwind and watch.
Membership fees alone, combined with spending at the racetrack, could easily earn him millions.
So far, this racetrack has brought him astonishing wealth, measured in billions, of course.
Because horse racing allows betting.
Because of this racetrack, his status in the Zhao Family has become extraordinarily stable, as many elites only connected with him because of this racetrack.
It gave him a vast network.
He became the foremost figure among the younger Zhao Family generation.
At this time, the entire racetrack was packed to capacity, mainly with prominent family young masters from all over Su Bei Province and various dignitaries.
In this era of increasing competition, they desperately needed a place like this to discover their excess energy and financial capability!
Horse racing could sometimes make people's blood boil, letting them experience speed and passion.
"Wait, you want to enter this old horse in the race? Trust me, buddy, it will run itself to death."
Li Chuan found the manager at the horse ranch and explained his intention, to which the manager showed a mocking smile: "Where did you buy it from? A horse like this is just cannon fodder on the track; sending it to the race is like directly killing it for horse meat."
Li Chuan hadn't spoken yet when the old horse beside him became agitated and excited, its front hooves lifted high, letting out a fierce neigh.
"Tsk, tsk! Surprisingly, this old guy has quite a temper." Wang Zhigang, the racetrack manager, furrowed his brow, full of surprise. Having dealt with horses a lot, he now sensed the formidable explosive force within this old horse.
This old horse is interesting!
