Chapter 343 I’ll Take You Out for Dinner

When Qiao Hongtian detailed the mastermind’s plan and their years of drug trafficking activities in Zhonghai City,

not only was Lin Zifeng greatly shocked, but even Black Hawk was taken aback—he had never imagined the Japanese had such an extensive scheme in Zhonghai City! They were deliberately trying to undermine Huaxia by funneling all this poison into the country...

"That’s, that’s all I have to say. I’ve mentioned everything I should. Now, I have only one request. Before I die, may I see your true face?" Having confessed everything, Qiao Hongtian’s vision was blurring from excessive blood loss, and his vitality was quickly drained by hemorrhage. Two chilling small knives were firmly embedded in his shoulders, and over time, he could acutely feel the blades grinding against his shoulder bones, causing searing pain. He felt his body grow lighter and weaker, knowing that death was not far. But before dying, he certainly did not want to pass on so cluelessly without even seeing the face of the person who killed his son. To die like this seemed too disgraceful, especially for someone who had dominated a corner of Zhonghai City for decades.

Lin Zifeng didn’t speak, just slowly raised his hand and removed his mask. But as he did so, an invisible hand seized the moment when Qiao Hongtian’s attention was focused on what was beneath the mask and silently snapped his neck.

At the moment Qiao Hongtian saw Lin Zifeng’s actual face, his mind was incredibly shaken! He hadn’t expected such a young man to possess such abnormal strength. Unfortunately, after that brief glance, he parted from the world forever—that glance was the last he would ever cast in this world.

His eyes, shocked and wide, were fixed on Lin Zifeng.

After removing his mask, Lin Zifeng just gave a faint smile and extended his right hand to gently close the eyes of the man who died with them open, ensuring he would not leave this world staring into the void.

Feeling the killing aura around Lin Zifeng slowly fade away, Black Hawk came over and asked, "Big Brother, what should we do next?"

"Do as I just said. We need to cast a wide net to catch the big fish."

"But... isn’t that too cruel to him?" Black Hawk still didn’t understand. Lin Zifeng had just now promised Qiao Hongtian that he wouldn’t spread his plans around, yet Lin Zifeng changed his tune so quickly.

"Cruel?" Lin Zifeng turned around and looked straight into Black Hawk’s eyes, asking, "Wasn’t it cruel when he injected you with the poison? Isn’t it cruel for him to conspire with the Japanese to traffic drugs and harm our Huaxia? Do you understand the catastrophe the Japanese will bring to Huaxia if they are not eradicated?" Perhaps Black Hawk wasn’t a Huaxia national, and he just didn’t get the pain of the Huaxia people.

However, moved by the firm tone of Lin Zifeng, Black Hawk fell silent. The words of Death God were never wrong; this indeed had puzzled Black Hawk for a moment.

"Alright, Big Brother. Leave this matter to me," he said.

"Good, be careful with your movements, and after handling the matter, observe closely," Lin Zifeng patted his shoulder, feeling a pang of pain like a needle prick in his heart. He hadn’t expected the underground forces in Huaxia to have developed to such an extent. Moreover, looking at Qiao Hongtian’s account books, the people affected were probably far more numerous than he had thought.

He was a son of Huaxia!

After all, he had to do something for Huaxia. The blood of the Huaxia people flowed through his veins, and he would definitely not let the Japanese and Huaxia clash. Absolutely not!

...

In accordance with Lin Zifeng’s instructions, sure enough, in less than a day, Black Hawk spread the rumor of Qiao Hongtian’s suicide and exposed his accounts with the Japanese collaborators. In less than half a day, media reporters throughout Zhonghai City erupted with the news. Even the martial arts world’s players currently or planning to get involved in the drug business were frightened by such reports.

Up there at the Zhonghai City Bureau, the level of attention to this event greatly exceeded Lin Zifeng’s expectations. Indeed.

Zhonghai City not only dispatched a large police force but also busted many of the Japanese strongholds in Huaxia, extending the battle to Japan itself, involving the Japanese underground forces in this anti-drug campaign.

The mastermind behind the operation was leisurely smoking a cigarette in his office, his eyes licentiously watching the girls come and go. Watching them dressed in cool summertime shorts and skirts, with some even in ultra-short mini skirts, was indeed one of life’s great pleasures.

"Lin Zifeng!"

At that moment, a gentle yet firm voice came from the Finance Department. Without looking, Lin Zifeng knew who was calling him.

But he pretended not to hear anything, continuing to watch the waves of women pass by.

Then, Zheng Xiaofang approached, carrying a thick stack of gray slips, her shapely figure accentuated by her revealing attire, which caught Lin Zifeng’s eye. Especially the creamy white softness of her skin, resembling freshly baked buns. They looked so damn tempting, he felt a strong urge to take a big bite to quell the inappropriate thoughts that had been suppressed in his heart for too long.

"Why are you still sitting here?" asked Zheng Xiaofang, her arms crossed, looking at him with surprise.

"What? I’m not allowed to sit in my own office anymore, is that it?" Lin Zifeng joked.

"Today is payday, why aren’t you going to get your salary? Everyone else has gone to get theirs, but you haven’t yet. Be careful later, or our Director Zhang might forget about yours."

"With my meager couple of paychecks, even if I collected them, it probably wouldn’t be enough for us to have a good meal, so I’m not in a rush. If it’s not a big deal, then just forget it." Lin Zifeng was well aware that having worked at the Finance Department for only a few days, as everyone else was collecting their pay, he probably wouldn’t have much to collect. He might not even get as much as the basic welfare a white-collar worker could expect.

"Why are you being so dramatic? Besides, Tianyu takes good care of its employees’ welfare. No matter what, you’re an assistant in the Finance Department, right? You should be making over ten thousand a month, so a thousand eight hundred should be there, right?"

"Come on! My dear lady! You must have had your fill and come over here to compete with me in feeling superior, right? My salary is already less than yours, there’s no need to rub it in."

A salary of a thousand eight hundred and you’re coming over here to brag about it?

That’s probably not even enough to buy the sanitary pads you all use.

"Young man, are you getting too worked up? Take it easy. You’ve only been in the company’s Finance Department for a few days last month, so of course they won’t pay you the full salary. Besides, you haven’t shown up for work much these days. Actually, a thousand eight hundred is not bad at all," said Zheng Xiaofang, wrinkling her cute nose in a playful manner, looking as fresh as an apple.

You can’t deny, when these high-flying city white-collars play the ingenue, it really does have a different charm, enough to involuntarily stir something within Lin Zifeng.

"Let’s forget I said anything." Lin Zifeng stood up, eyed her chest for a while, and then lazily said, "I’m off to collect my salary."

"What about dinner tonight?" Zheng Xiaofang’s soft and gentle voice piped up from behind.

"Forget about it, Elder Sister Xiaofang. You’re not trying to bilk me out of this month’s little earnings of a thousand eight hundred, are you? I don’t have the money to treat you to a meal," Lin Zifeng said, warily looking at her.

"Pfft!"

Zheng Xiaofang suddenly burst into laughter, her face turning red as she said with speechless amusement, "Look how scared you are. It’s not like I’m after your life. I was saying I’d treat you tonight. We can have a meal together; after all, we’ve been working together for so long and haven’t even had a staff meal together. Today is on me, and next time when your salary comes in, you can treat, okay?"

Err... Lin Zifeng wiped off a bead of cold sweat. He was almost scared to death just now.

"Let’s talk about it when I get my pay this month."

"Don’t be like that, don’t spoil the fun, okay? I finally caught you today; normally, even wanting to see you is difficult. Is it really so hard to keep Xiaofang company over a meal?" Zheng Xiaofang pouted, showing some displeasure.

Lin Zifeng really didn’t want to provoke them. After all, two people, from different walks of life, were like apples and oranges. The issue with Mu Yang was still unresolved, and now here was Zheng Xiaofang stirring things up, which was just a mess.

"Err... This, well..." He scratched his head, visibly embarrassed.

"Oh? Getting your pay, are we?" Just then, Mu Yang appeared behind them out of nowhere, walking towards them with a bright smile.

"That, I’ve got to get busy, I’ll treat you another day," Zheng Xiaofang seemed somewhat intimidated by Mu Yang and quickly put away her sycophantic smile, hurriedly walking out with her salary in hand. She didn’t forget to greet Mu Yang as she passed by.

"Heh heh, Supervisor Mu is here for the pay too? Looks like Supervisor Mu is going to make a tidy sum today," Lin Zifeng touched his chin, saying somewhat awkwardly.

"How come? Where have you been these past few days? I couldn’t even find your shadow at the company. Did you go out for some mischief again?" Mu Yang was dressed in casual clothes today, presenting a distinctly different aura, but her figure was breathtakingly perfect.

"Hey, hey, hey, Supervisor Mu, you’re not supposed to make fun of people like that. Look at the way you’re talking, as if I’m some big bad wolf. Am I really that bad?"

"Whether you’re bad or not, you know in your heart," Mu Yang said, leaning close to his body with a breath as soft as an orchid.

"Err, Supervisor Mu, we’re at the company, please don’t do anything too outrageous," Lin Zifeng looked around warily and, seeing that there was no one around, he finally felt a bit relieved that Mu Yang might not do anything too out of line.
