Chapter 381 - 356: A Person Can’t Be a Fool Who Misreads the Situation

Chapter 381: Chapter 356: A Person Can’t Be a Fool Who Misreads the Situation

"President Wang, go take care of your business. I have a few things to handle myself," Lu Feng said to Wang Kai right away.

Wang Kai naturally knew that as the leader of the Xuanfeng Alliance, President Lu was often incredibly busy, and the matters that occupied him were usually of great importance.

So, hearing this, Wang Kai tactfully got up and took his leave.

Lu Feng then turned to Xiaozhi and asked, "Is this information reliable?"

"Master, the information is confirmed. I have been monitoring them and found that several factions are already preparing weapons. I believe they will make their move very soon."

As Xiaozhi spoke, the screen in front of Lu Feng lit up.

Video footage appeared on the screen, showing scenes Xiaozhi had captured by hacking into various factions in Myanmar, complete with audio recordings of their communications.

"I’m getting ready to make a move, too. I’ve had it with that guy for a long time."

"Even with Sayer and Cai Caida dead, it’s not that guy’s place to be calling the shots."

...

"Hahaha! I didn’t dare make a move when Sayer was alive. What’s there to be afraid of now?"

...

"I’ve already secured the support of several merchants. The weapons have been purchased and received. Don’t worry!"

One communication after another revealed information about the impending rebellion.

Furthermore, it wasn’t just one faction planning to rebel, but many, all at the same time.

They planned to carve up power in Myanmar and establish their own warlord factions.

This sort of thing was common in such a chaotic region.

Before long, Myanmar would descend into complete chaos.

’I’ll be able to do a lot of things then.’

With this in mind, Lu Feng smiled and instructed Xiaozhi, "Keep Myanmar under full surveillance. The moment chaos breaks out, I want to be the first to know."

"Understood, Master," Xiaozhi nodded.

Just then, Yang Ming walked in.

Lu Feng smiled and greeted him, "Cousin, what’s up?"

His cousin was in charge of the modified ability-users under his command.

’He should be training with the ability-modified warriors right now.’

’He must be here because something’s up.’

Yang Ming asked in return, "Didn’t Auntie ask us to go to Fruit City for dinner today?"

"I almost forgot about that." Lu Feng gave an embarrassed laugh. "Let’s go. We’ll head to Fruit City and check it out. You know Mom, she can’t sit still."

After his mom was brought to the Xuanfeng Alliance, she couldn’t stand being idle. Even though she lived in a huge manor with servants waiting on her every day, lacking for nothing, the old woman would rather move out and find something to do.

She teamed up with Yang Qingxue’s mother, Chen Fen, and opened the largest "Fruit City" in all of Wind Capital.

Yang Qingxue was the one who provided the money.

Since Lin Shuang was afraid Lu Feng wouldn’t approve, she went to Yang Qingxue instead.

For going behind his back, Lu Feng had given Yang Qingxue a thorough "punishment."

After that, he let his mother and her friend do as they pleased.

Yang Ming’s parents were also invited to become partners. The "Fruit City" was massive and highly profitable. With tourism booming, it was raking in a lot of money.

Of course, for them, making a profit was completely unimportant.

After all, their children gave them plenty of money each month. On top of that, Lu Feng’s special position in the Xuanfeng Alliance gave the mothers a transcendent status of their own.

The most important thing was that they wanted something to do.

After all, not everyone is content to just while away their golden years waiting to die.

With no financial pressure and no worries about the future, anyone who still lacked ambition would be a real "salted fish."

Lin Shuang’s ambition just happened to be selling fruit.

But an ambition is an ambition, big or small, right?

Soon, Lu Feng and Yang Ming arrived on the central, bustling street of Wind Capital.

Lin Shuang’s "Fruit City" occupied the best spot on the street. It was next to a large hotel, with the Wind Capital Police Department right across from it.

When Lu Feng and Yang Ming entered, the two women were busy helping customers.

The store was packed with customers and buzzing with activity.

Even though they had hired staff, they still preferred to help out themselves.

"What are you doing here so early? It’s still a while before dinner, and I don’t have time to look after you," Lin Shuang said upon seeing them, before turning back to another customer.

Lu Feng and Yang Ming could only walk awkwardly to the counter. When customers came up with questions, they did their best to help.

Moments later, a few men from Dragon Country walked in.

Apart from the middle-aged man leading them, the others were all covered in tattoos. One look was enough to tell they were bad news.

Lu Feng glanced over, his brow furrowing.

’Don’t tell me some cliché drama is about to unfold just because I decided to visit Mom?’

A middle-aged man walked up to the counter and asked, "Excuse me, who’s the owner of this ’Fruit City’?"

"What can I do for you?" Lu Feng asked, looking at the man.

The middle-aged man immediately explained, "This location is a bit of a waste for a fruit market. It’s the best commercial property on this street. I intend to take over the lease and open a nightclub here."

"Of course, as compensation, I’ll pay a hefty fee and also find you another storefront for your fruit business somewhere else on this street."

The middle-aged man’s tone was full of expectation.

The location was just too good.

Besides, he was already in the nightclub business back home.

Coming to the Xuanfeng Alliance, he’d accidentally discovered a gap in the market for nightclubs. Moreover, the spending power here was enormous.

There were some differences from back home, of course. In his country, you needed female models; here, all you needed were male models.

Right now, Wind Capital only had a single nightclub, run by the Qingfeng Entertainment Company. It was packed almost every single day, and the prices were terrifyingly high.

Can you imagine it? A group of beautiful women here in the Xuanfeng Alliance, casually dropping tips worth 2,000, 5,000, even 10,000 at the wave of a hand?

They were even more lavish and generous than the male patrons back home.

It was simply unbelievable.

This was far more profitable than running a nightclub back home.

That was why they were in such a hurry to find a location and get their own nightclub up and running.

This "Fruit City" was, without a doubt, the best spot.

That’s why, after making their decision, they had come here to inquire.

Lu Feng now understood what these men were after.

He would never lease the place to them. After all, this was something his mother had set up.

As long as his mother was happy, nothing else mattered.

However, he also knew their type. They wouldn’t give up easily.

So, he took out his phone and dialed Chen Hao’s number.

Chen Bo had been transferred to a high-level position in the Boya District, leaving the post of Wind Capital’s police chief vacant.

And so, Chen Hao had been transferred in to fill it.

Lu Feng hadn’t orchestrated this.

Chen Hao had managed it himself.

After all, his father-in-law was the head of the Xuanfeng Alliance’s finance department.

With this police chief position, he could continue to climb the ladder in the justice system.

So, he had simply asked his father-in-law to pull a few strings.

Lu Feng, of course, had no objection to any of this.

The crucial part was that he hadn’t been bothered with it, which showed that the people who had come with him from his home country were successfully integrating into the Xuanfeng Alliance.

Or perhaps, that the locals of the Xuanfeng Alliance had come to accept them.

This was a good thing.

He was calling Chen Hao over for a simple reason: to give him some instructions and ensure no one would bother his mother in the future.

"President Lu, what can I do for you?"

"Come over to my mom’s fruit store."

"Right away. Lin Chao and the others are just having a meal nearby."

Lu Feng hung up.

The middle-aged man and his entourage stared at Lu Feng, stunned. They were just asking about renting the shop; why was he making a phone call?

’Is he calling a lawyer to sign the contract?’

But just moments later, he saw a group of people in Xuanfeng Alliance police uniforms appear outside the "Fruit City".

The others remained outside; only one man entered.

The middle-aged man recognized him. Wasn’t that Chen Hao, the man who had supposedly reached the pinnacle of success?

He was originally just a street punk who married the daughter of the Xuanfeng Alliance’s finance minister and became a prison warden.

And recently, he’d even become the police chief of Wind Capital.

He was an idol to many from Dragon Country, an object of universal envy.

But there was no doubt he held immense power in Wind Capital. Getting rid of someone would be incredibly easy for him.

Seeing him enter, the middle-aged man even thought about going up to greet him and make an impression. If the chief remembered his face, it might make running a nightclub in Wind Capital a little easier down the line.

Chen Hao walked right past the middle-aged man and went straight to Lu Feng. "President Lu, what’s the matter?"

Without even glancing at the middle-aged man, Lu Feng instructed Chen Hao, "Keep an eye on my mom’s fruit market. Drop by when you have time. If anyone gives them any trouble, just take care of it."

"Of course, President Lu," Chen Hao replied with a smile. He would have done so even without being asked.

’Even if there’s nothing going on, I should drop by to buy some fruit and show my face.’

’If some idiot really comes here looking for trouble, I have plenty of ways to deal with them.’

The middle-aged man’s expression turned ugly, and the faces of his companions changed as well.

Although the conversation had been brief and hadn’t mentioned them directly, you’d have to be an idiot not to understand the situation.

The middle-aged man, embarrassed, quickly led his men away, his heart reeling with shock.

’That was Chen Hao, and he was obviously extremely respectful to ’President Lu.’ What’s more, he came running with just one phone call.’

’These fruit sellers... the power behind them is absolutely terrifying.’
