Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

(It’s the hundredth chapter, let’s celebrate!!)

(I am usually busy with work, so I only have a little time to write every day. Most of the time I upload a chapter directly after writing it, and at most I can only roughly check the content, so there will be many problems in the text. I hope you can forgive me.)

Lin Youcheng was responsible for transporting supplies to the Shaanxi-Gansu government. After Sun Tong handed the task over to him, he concentrated on waiting for the weekend to come.

His mood is very complicated now.

He hoped that the Crescent Hotel in this world was the same Crescent Hotel where he lived. After all, if these two Crescent Hotels were really the same, then it meant that there was some special power in this world.

But it was precisely for this reason that he felt worried about it. After all, special abilities were safest when they were in one's own hands. Once they were out of one's control, who knew if anything bad would happen to him in the future.

"Welcome Mr. Sun. I am Yin Hebi. This Xinyue Hotel is my property. I am my daughter Yin Xinyue. Xinyue, why don't you come and meet Mr. Sun?"

"Xinyue has met Mr. Sun."

Naturally, no one in the upper class of Longguo was unaware of Sun Tong's name. Everyone said that he had already settled overseas. Yin's father and daughter had never expected that Sun Tong would appear in Yanjing at this time.

Because the situation of the Crescent Hotel is special, they have a certain understanding of the situation overseas, so the father and daughter naturally know how great the influence of the Sun family is overseas.

The situation in Longguo is getting worse and worse. The warlords' infighting has not yet come to an end, and the Japanese are coming again. In order to leave a way out for the Yin family in the future, Yin Hebi chooses to make friends with Sun Tong.

"Hello, Mr. Yin and Miss Yin. I am just an ordinary guest today. There is no need for you two to be so polite."

Looking at the young girl in front of him who looked 90% like Zhao Xiaodao, no matter how unwilling Sun Tong was to believe it, everything in front of him told him that this Crescent Hotel was the Crescent Hotel he knew, and the Yin Xinyue in front of him was the Yin Xinyue he knew.

"Mr. Sun, what are you talking about? It is an honor for the Xinyue Hotel to have you here today. There are so many people outside, why don't you come with me into the hotel and have a seat?"

"The guest should follow the host's wishes. Today I will follow Mr. Yin's arrangements!"

"Then Mr. Sun, please!"

"Boss Yin, please!"

The Xinyue Hotel is quite large, and its decoration is considered avant-garde in this era. After following Yin Shi and his daughter to the private room, Yin Hebi chatted with Sun Tong for a while, and then left the box on the grounds that they had other work to do. On the contrary, Yin Xinyue stayed.

"Mr. Sun, are you really already over 30 years old?"

"Why, doesn't it look like it?"

"Of course not. If you stop someone on the street and ask them your age, I don't think anyone would think you are over 30."

“People in my family age slowly.”

"Ah? I really envy your family. I wish I could be like that."

As for women, their pursuit and persistence for beauty are eternal. Sun Tong himself is very good-looking, and coupled with the temperament cultivated by his high position, these aspects are extremely attractive to young girls.

Although Yin Xinyue is smart and capable, her age is still a factor. A mature man like Sun Tong still has considerable lethality to young girls of his age.

The two chatted in this way, and Sun would tease the little girl from time to time, making her blush.

Before long, the two became familiar with each other.

"Xinyue, I wonder if you have ever heard of Jiumen before?"

"Sun Tong also knows about the Nine Gates? I thought someone like Mr. Sun wouldn't pay attention to these low-class businesses!"

When Sun Tong learned from the girl Yin Xinyue that the Nine Gates really existed, his heart skipped a beat. The book "The Lost Pen" seemed to be about adventure, but the things involved in it were still of a very high level. Although the power level was not as high as that of the other book, the content of the book did involve immortality, as well as those magical creatures and treasures.

When he thought about the real existence of these things, Sun Tong not only did not feel the slightest joy in his heart, but he became more and more frightened.

Although his body is somewhat special, no matter how special it is, he is still within the scope of human beings. However, there are too many weird things in the book "The Lost Pen", and these things pose a huge threat to Sun Tong.

"Then Xinyue, can you tell me about your situation? I am quite interested in this business."

"There's not much to say, actually. The Nine Gates is actually a tomb-robbing organization formed by nine families. Some of these nine families are responsible for going to tombs, some are responsible for sales, and some are responsible for official affairs. People in the world say that each of these nine families has their own supernatural abilities, but these words are just to fool outsiders. In fact, there are no gods or ghosts in this world. The reason why these nine families can make their current reputation is because they are ruthless and have many subordinates. Otherwise, with what they have done, they would have been dealt with by other forces long ago."

"Are you saying that all the things you wear outside are fake?"

"of course!"

"What about the so-called four tomb-robbing factions?"

"Mr. Sun, you even know this?"

"I only know a little bit. After all, these four sects are also said to be very evil. Because of curiosity, I sent people to collect some information about these four sects, but what we collected is limited. Your Crescent Hotel has connections with these forces. I think you should be able to know some of their information, right?"

"I do have some understanding. Compared with the Nine Sects, the Four Sects seem more mysterious among ordinary people because of their longer inheritance. But to be honest, they are actually no different from the Nine Sects. The people of the Four Sects may have a longer inheritance, so the things they have been trained in since childhood are more complete and more advanced than those of the Nine Sects. At the same time, most of the disciples of the Four Sects have mastered the art of Feng Shui, which is why it is much easier for them to find tombs than other tomb robbers. As for the legends related to the Four Sects, they were actually made up by these people on purpose. After all, tomb robbing is dangerous, but it is also profitable. They made these rumors in the hope of scaring away those who have ideas about them. In fact, their tricks are still effective, otherwise the Four Sects would not have such a great reputation today."
