Chapter 144: Chapter 0144: The Waiting of the Jin Family

He Jianguo, upon hearing Chu Feng’s inquiry, spoke up, "Uncle, there is indeed some hidden truth to this matter."

Right away, He Jianguo conveyed to Chu Feng all the information he had investigated.

It turned out that the whole situation wasn’t much related to Director Zheng, but rather it was Director Hao who acted upon instructions from the Deputy Director, Director Li. As for Director Li, he was bewitched by his own son. The true reason that a deputy director could be bewitched was the series of conditions promised by the Wu Family.

"The Wu Family!" Chu Feng’s brows furrowed upon hearing the Wu Family’s involvement in the matter.

If this incident was related to the Wu Family, then it was also because of him.

Wu Di had been silent without any movement, and Chu Feng thought Wu Di had ceased his efforts, but to his surprise, Wu Di had been plotting in the shadows all this time.

If it weren’t for his acquaintance with He Jianguo today, he truly would have had no way to resolve the situation targeted at Xiao Pang by Wu Di.

"Rubbish! They think they can brazenly interfere with government decisions just because they’re a prestigious clan, such people need to be disciplined," He Zhen said angrily after hearing everything.

Even if the Wu Family was powerful, they were still a family that had started out as businessmen. They couldn’t compare with the state. The state allowed their existence not because it couldn’t regulate them, but because it didn’t want to bother.

As long as they developed their economy honestly, it was beneficial for the country. Moreover, as long as they were obedient, the power they held in their hands could also contribute to greater social stability.

Of course, if they stepped out of line, it would be easy for the state to annihilate them. In a sense, the existence of Dragon Soul had this as one of its tasks.

He Jianguo was also very annoyed about such matters. After all, this was his territory, and someone dared to interfere with the management of his territory. This was like someone trying to steal food from his bowl, how could He Jianguo be happy?

"Dad, we only have Director Li’s side of the story for this matter, I’m afraid we can’t convict anyone without solid evidence. Acting hastily could lead to widespread panic," He Jianguo said.

He Zhen huffed in anger, "People like this, if it was in the past, I would never have been lenient. It’s you officials now who worry about this and that, all you care about is preserving your own positions."

He Zhen was now a respected teacher, but in the past, he had been a general, armed and ready for battle.

He Jianguo felt helpless being criticized by his father in this manner.

Seeing He Jianguo’s embarrassment, Chu Feng interjected, "Brother He, don’t blame Jianguo. This matter is actually related to me. I’m the one who dragged down Wang Lei and his family."

Xiao Pang hurriedly said, "Boss, you can’t say that. It’s Wu Di who went too far. Even without you, I still couldn’t stand his despicable behavior."

"What are you saying?" Mr. Wang, Wang Lei’s father, was appalled to hear his son cursing in front of the City Party Secretary.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei shrank back in fear, suddenly recalling where he was.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Uncle, that bastard Wu Di indeed needs to be dealt with. It’s my fault for dragging you all into this. But don’t worry, uncle, I’ll handle Wu Di."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang hurriedly said, "Chu Feng, you’re not to blame for this. Even without you, it’s possible that other issues with my restaurant would have been exposed. Having everything come out now at once might actually save us from worse issues being revealed all at once in the future."

Chu Feng replied, "No matter what, uncle, it’s my fault. I will find a way to restore your reputation first."

"Uncle, I’ve already notified the relevant parties. The day after tomorrow, there will be a newspaper announcement to restore Mr. Wang’s restaurant’s reputation," He Jianguo said.

Upon hearing He Jianguo’s words, Mr. Wang hastily said, "Thank you, Secretary He! Thank you, Secretary He!"

Time was late, and all matters had been settled; it was clearly no longer appropriate for He Jianguo to continue staying here.

After seeing off the family of He Jianguo, Chu Feng returned to the private room as well.

When Chu Feng returned to the room, the family of Wang Lei still seemed somewhat ill at ease in his presence.

Chu Feng looked at Wang Lei and said, "Xiao Pang, your uncle and aunt look uncomfortable around me, and you look just as uneasy. Don’t you think of me as a brother anymore, or do you think I’m not worthy to be your brother?"

Wang Lei felt warmed by Chu Feng’s words and joyfully said, "Boss, how could we not be brothers? It was just that the presence of the City Party Secretary made me a bit nervous."

The parents of Wang Lei were extremely relieved to see their son calling someone as formidable as Chu Feng "brother."

They were no longer worried about their son’s future knowing he could follow such a person.

In the end, Chu Feng went back to school alone, while Xiao Pang was trying all means to apologize to Xi Yun.

After returning to the dormitory, Chu Feng also wondered whether he should settle the score with Wu Di, as the situation had been quite overbearing.

Ultimately, Chu Feng decided to let it go, not because he lacked the power to settle accounts with Wu Di. But if he went to confront him now, the most he could do was beat him up, which wouldn’t change anything. If he wanted to teach a lesson, it had to be a fatal blow.

"Wu Di, I actually hope that you come to provoke me yourself rather than engaging in such despicable behavior," Chu Feng mused, sitting by the shore of Bright Moon Lake, a cold light flickering in his eyes.

Chu Feng knew that the issues with the Wu Family were far from over and that a direct confrontation was inevitable.

A night of cultivation had significantly advanced Chu Feng’s cultivation.

Another week went by. Despite having suffered a great loss, Wu Di showed no reaction, and surprisingly, there was still no response from the Jin Family either, which puzzled Chu Feng.

Logically, Wu Di’s non-reaction was understandable to Chu Feng, but it had been two weeks since Jin Yu was involved. Even if he was making preparations, they should have been well underway by now, yet there was no reaction, which was strange.

...

Within the Jin Family’s mid-mountain mansion, Jin Yu angrily slammed his wine bottle onto the expensive carpet, his expression ferocious as he said, "Why? It has been two weeks now, why does father still not allow me to go out and deal with that bastard?"

"Young Master, the Master has his own plans. Please be patient," the Old Housekeeper said respectfully from behind Jin Yu.

"Plans! Plans! Does my humiliation not matter then?" Jin Yu’s humiliation by Chu Feng, with the help of some interested parties, had become well-known.

Jin Yu had lost all face within his circle, and when he had been prepared to deal with Chu Feng, his own father had stopped him.

"A lack of patience can ruin great plans, and if you can’t endure even a slight setback, how can you achieve anything great?" an authoritative voice said from behind Jin Yu.

Upon hearing this voice, Jin Yu quickly stood up and said, "Father."

Jin Yu’s father looked at him and asked, "Are you unsatisfied with my arrangements?"

Jin Yu hesitated for a moment and then said, "Father. Chu Feng is but a trivial figure, and him striking me is as if he has struck our entire Jin Family. Our Jin Family is newly established among the prestigious clans, and to be beaten by such a trivial figure is truly a loss of face."

His father snorted coldly and asked, "Then do you know who Chu Feng’s elder brother is?"
