The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 225: Buying Land_1

Greg wanted to take away everything that Ethan had and prided himself on—his money, power, family, all of it.

Only then would the appearance of “The Art of Yin and Yang Harmony” not be in vain!

But the strength of the Locke family was just too overwhelming, and aside from resorting to murder, Greg felt somewhat at a loss as to where to start.

Greg glanced at Brandon; how to take down Ethan now depended on what Brandon could dig up.

While Brandon was chatting with Adrian and the others, he felt Greg’s gaze, hurriedly turned his head, and flashed a sycophantic smile.

“Mr. Jensen, do you have any further instructions?”

“No, carry on with your conversation.”

“Alright.”

Watching Brandon turn back to continue chatting, Greg couldn’t help but feel surprised, thinking to himself that the kid was surprisingly perceptive; he had only given him a glance, and yet he’d sensed it.

Perhaps it was a natural sensitivity.

Greg thought it over but decided not to dwell on it, and after talking with everyone for a while, Spencer arrived as well.

Then Adrian arranged a banquet, and as they ate and talked, they even mentioned the vegetable base project.

Upon learning that Greg had left a share for him, Spencer’s face lit up with excitement, and he gave a thumbs-up, praising:

“Brother Greg, you’re a true bro!”

“Cut it out, hurry up and help find the plot of land—that’s what really matters.”

Spencer laughed and said, “Look for Alfredo. He’s the most familiar with this kind of thing. You may not think much of the business he runs, but he’s got quite a few resources.”

Adrian nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll give him a call later tonight.”

Inside the manager’s office at Green Grass Real Estate.

Alfredo sat on the sofa, daring only to perch on half of it, with every muscle in his body tense, betraying extreme nervousness.

Across from him sat a middle-aged man with hard, chiseled features and a scar above his eyebrow that made him look quite fierce.

It was Jay, who had just faced disappointment with Greg.

“I heard you sold Dreamscape Garden to Greg?”

“Yes, at that time he…”

Jay suddenly looked up, glaring coldly at him, and said, “I don’t want to know how you sold it to him. What I want to know is if he has any weaknesses.”

Hearing his words, Alfredo’s face twisted with distress, and he helplessly said, “Big Brother Jay, I really don’t know.

I merely sold him a garden. How would I know what kind of person he is?”

“Bullshit!”

Jay angrily retorted, “You claimed you didn’t even know what kind of person he was, and yet you dared to make a deal with him, dared to sell the garden to him?”

“Big Brother Jay, that garden was a hot potato in my hands; I couldn’t wait to sell it off.

As long as there was a buyer, that was good enough for me. As for what kind of person the buyer was, that wasn’t my business to care about.”

Alfredo now felt so desperate he wished he could die. Selling Dreamscape Garden not only resulted in a big monetary loss but also brought about so much trouble.

If he had known it would end like this, he would never have sold it, not even if he were beaten to death.

Jay realized that Alfredo might indeed be ignorant on the matter, but he still couldn’t help feeling discontent.

He had just transferred a million to Greg’s account and realized he would have to give him a wide berth in the future.

If he couldn’t bring Greg down, how would he release this pent-up rage?

“Alfredo Harrison, mark my words, if you don’t give me some useful information today, by tomorrow I’ll make sure your Green Grass Real Estate doesn’t sell a single property. Do you believe me?”

“I believe you, but… I genuinely don’t know anything.”

Just as Alfredo felt so cornered that he almost wished to hang himself, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked up his mobile and his face immediately underwent a drastic change.

Jay, a wily character himself, saw the change in expression and knew something was amiss, and asked, “Who’s calling?”

“It’s… It’s Greg Jensen.”

“Pick it up and put it on speaker, let’s see what he wants from you.”

Facing Jay Brent’s icy gaze, Alfredo Harrison felt rather helpless and had no choice but to answer the call as instructed.

“Hello, Mr. Harrison, this is Greg Jensen.”

“Mr. Greg, hello, what can I do for you?”

“Well, I’m looking to buy a piece of land, preferably agricultural farmland. I’m planning to grow some things…”

As soon as Jay Brent heard that Greg Jensen wanted to buy land, he immediately perked up and silently mouthed: “Agree to it!”

Alfredo Harrison, with no alternative, said, “Mr. Greg, it happens that a friend of mine has some land that fits the bill. How about I contact him to see if he’s willing to sell?”

“Haha, that’s great, talk to him. I don’t mind paying a little extra.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Alfredo Harrison breathed a sigh of relief and said with a bitter face, “Boss Brent, I said exactly what you told me, but…I don’t have any land to sell.

What if Greg Jensen comes to me wanting to buy land? Where am I supposed to find it for him?”

Jay Brent chuckled and said, “I might not have any, but I do.”

“You have land…”

Seeing his expression, Alfredo Harrison knew that this old fox must be up to no good, but he didn’t dare to say anything. All he could do was plead with a bitter face,

“Boss Brent, I can’t afford to offend anyone you just call ‘someone,’ I just beg you not to drag me into this. My little fortune won’t be enough to cover the mayhem you two could cause.”

Jay Brent glanced at him, sneered, and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll have someone else take care of it. You just introduce him to Greg Jensen, and then you’re out of the picture. Got it?”

“Got it.”

Alfredo Harrison nodded woodenly.

Jay Brent broke into a big laugh, clapped him on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

…

In this era, land was indeed valuable, but that was mainly commercial land. Agricultural land wasn’t worth much unless it could be converted into commercial property.

Especially in places like Jamae City, where the economy was underdeveloped, agricultural land was dirt cheap.

“Big bro Greg, I told you Alfredo Harrison had some information, didn’t I?”

“Mmm, he said a friend of his has some land. He’s going to ask and then get back to me.”

After speaking, Greg Jensen couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Spencer Burley asked curiously, “Big bro Greg, why aren’t you happy although you found a land deal?”

Greg Jensen shook his head and said, “I just felt that Alfredo Harrison’s tone was a bit off just now.”

“What could be off? You pay for the land, and the other party sells it to you. Simple.”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

Greg Jensen felt that perhaps he was overthinking it.

…

After returning to his company office, Jay Brent immediately called his manager over and asked, “Has the transfer for the land we’re selling to Wallace Carter been completed?”

“Not yet, but they’ve already paid the deposit,” replied Manager Zhang.

Upon hearing this, Jay Brent immediately beamed with delight and said softly, “Tomorrow, you’ll meet someone. Sell that piece of land to them.”

“Sell it to that person?”

Manager Zhang was confused and asked blankly, “What about Mr. Carter’s transaction?”

Jay Brent sneered and said, “Proceed as usual with Wallace Carter. Just make a fake set of documents for this deal.”

Manager Zhang immediately panicked and said anxiously, “Boss, that’s fraud.”

“Are you stupid? Once we get the money, you’ll just go to the supermarket chain I’ve started in the south and stay there for a couple of years. Once things cool down, you can come back, right?”

“But…”

Seeing that Manager Zhang was still reluctant, Jay Brent’s eyebrows shot up as he said sternly, “Enough talk. Just tell me if you’re going to do it or not!”
