Chapter 1469: Chapter 576: The Source of Danger

Yan Fei had an intuition that the Dream Tower was about to encounter great danger, a danger that was inherent in a certain qi mechanism. Yan Fei didn’t know what this qi mechanism was, why it appeared here, or how long it had been here, but as soon as he came into contact with it, he immediately sensed danger.

Yan Fei felt puzzled. As his spiritual power extended outward, he discovered that this qi mechanism was only spreading within the Dream Tower. The other buildings adjacent to the Dream Tower did not exhibit this strange qi mechanism; it was as if only the Dream Tower possessed it.

This discovery immediately put Yan Fei on alert; if the Dream Tower was in danger, it meant that both he and Lu Pingping, who lived in the Dream Tower, were also in danger. Moreover, this qi mechanism had always been present before, but Yan Fei had not noticed this danger before due to a lack of strength. Now it seemed that there must be a very serious issue with Dream Tower, otherwise, there would not be a strange qi mechanism containing information about danger.

When Yan Fei was developing his business in Shanghai and faced the situation of having his office seized, he had wanted to build an office building entirely his own, but constructing an office building from scratch would take a long time. Since Yan Fei did not have that much time to waste, he opted instead to seek to purchase an existing building. Following recommendations in Shanghai, he and Lu Pingping found this Super Mansion, which had become an Unfinished Building yet was very robust.

The previous owner of this Super Mansion had suddenly broken his capital chain and was unable to carry out further development, forcing construction to stop reluctantly, leaving it as an Unfinished Building. Later, some wanted to take over this Unfinished Building, but with a staggering 8 billion RMB already invested, which far exceeded the market price for similar constructions, it scared away any interested enterprises.

This Super Mansion had already cost 8 billion RMB, but only reached 45 floors while its floor space amassed an astonishing 250,000 square meters, with very large spaces between floors. Although it was an Unfinished Building, the main work on the building had been completed. For some unknown reason, the materials used in the construction of this Super Mansion adhered to the highest standards, rendering the building extremely robust, even worthy of being called a Battle Fortress.

According to calculations by engineers hired by Yan Fei, the building would not collapse even in a magnitude 9 earthquake. Even if a war broke out and the building was hit by artillery, only partial damage would occur, not an entire collapse, making this Super Mansion very safe.

It was because of the building’s robustness, along with Yan Fei’s desire for a secure residence, that he decided to invest nearly 8 billion RMB to purchase it and then spend a significant amount on renovations. Later, the Dream Tower did endure several foreign invasions, and indeed demonstrated its powerful defense capabilities, with no one being able to damage the building.

Originally, Yan Fei was very satisfied with this Super Mansion, but after discovering that the building had been in a constant state of danger, he began to doubt. It’s important to note that this qi mechanism was not something that had just appeared; it had existed long before. That is to say, Dream Tower had issues at the time Yan Fei took over, no, perhaps even earlier…

Yan Fei also remembered that the previous owner of the Super Mansion was Zi Wu Group, which rapidly expanded by relying on international transit trade and was a well-known trade group in Shanghai. However, more than a decade ago, following the economic crisis that erupted in the United States of America, the global demand market quickly contracted, impacting the group’s revenues. Due to Zi Wu Group’s overspread operations and decreased income, they experienced a severance of capital and had to halt construction of the Super Mansion, leaving it as an Unfinished Building until taken over by Yan Fei’s Dream Technology.

After realizing there was an issue with the Super Mansion, Yan Fei began looking up information about Zi Wu Group on the Internet. With the help of the Artificial Intelligence “Dream,” Yan Fei quickly found intelligence on Zi Wu Group. However, the intelligence indicated that Zi Wu Group had gone bankrupt and closed down three years ago. Despite receiving 7.8 billion RMB in cash from Dream Technology, they could not withstand the impact of the economic crisis and ultimately had to declare bankruptcy. The boss of Zi Wu Group, a middle-aged man named Xu Ziwu, committed suicide after the company closed.

At the time, Yan Fei was aware of the bankruptcy of Zi Wu Group and had pondered the impermanence of life, yet had not delved into the details. But now, it seems that whether it was Zi Wu Group or Xu Ziwu the boss, they must have had issues, because their names reminded Yan Fei of the phrase “illusory and fabricated,” as if they were hinting at something to Yan Fei.

What made Yan Fei even more puzzled was that Xu Ziwu, although a business prodigy, had not left much information about himself on the Internet. The most notable things about Xu Ziwu were the establishment of Zi Wu Group, then building a super robust building and selling it as an Unfinished Building to Yan Fei, followed by Zi Wu Group’s bankruptcy and subsequent suicide.
