Chapter 37: Chapter 37: One Who Brings Trouble Upon Himself Will Not Survive
"Have you heard?"
"What?"
"The building in Dragon Bay, Huacheng, collapsed yesterday, and a dead body was found in the debris."
"Just another shoddy construction project. Luckily, I didn’t buy an apartment there. The prices were sky-high, and the quality was just so-so."
Someone nearby said with schadenfreude.
"Hey, did you even catch the main point? I said someone died."
"I heard you. The building collapsed, what’s so surprising about someone dying?"
"It’s not just someone died; a dead body was found inside the wall," the bearer of the news repeated the point, as though death was news in this day and age.
"What do you mean?"
"It means there was a body buried inside the wall at the Dragon Bay building in Huacheng, understand?"
"Hmm..."
"It’s said that the dead person was a holdout from before, and I bought a watch last year. It’s all over the internet now."
"Really?"
"I don’t know if it’s true or not, but where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. I think it’s highly likely true."
"Sss, if it’s true, this is no small matter."
"Mmm-hmm, more than just a small matter."
"Li Feng, Li Feng." In the presidential suite at the Outer Heaven, Li Feng, clad in pajamas, opened the door: "What’s up?"
Li Feng looked at Yun Qi standing outside the door; Yun Qi, without ceremonies, stepped inside: "Feng, your move is simply brilliant; Sihai Group is completely screwed now."
"Hmm?"
Li Feng walked into the living room, still somewhat sleepy, while Yun Qi, excited, sat on the sofa: "Feng, how did you know Sihai Group had committed murder and buried the body in the building they constructed? I couldn’t believe it when I heard."
Li Feng looked at Yun Qi: "What murder, what body in the building?"
"Come on, Feng, stop pretending. I’m not an outsider. What could you possibly have to hide from me?" Yun Qi narrowed his eyes as he looked at Li Feng sitting nearby, always so calm and strategic.
"You see, it’s already in the news. But Sihai Group still has some clout. Big newspapers, media, they’ve managed to suppress it. Now, it’s just whispers here and there, but they can’t keep a lid on this. My friend in the police told me there’s true substance to these rumors; the body was indeed discovered in a building constructed by Sihai Group. Sihai Group can’t possibly cover this up."
Li Feng picked up a tablet from the coffee table, and immediately opened the headlines. He found the relevant video in the local news section, which was quickly trending on the homepage.
Heavenly actions may be forgiven,
Self-inflicted actions may not.
Sihai Group is a prime example of this; engaging in murder and hiding the body in the building, but Li Feng genuinely didn’t know about this. He only knew about the shoddy work and inferior steel used in the collapsed building.
The collapse was orchestrated by Li Feng; after all, losing a shoddy building was no big loss. Li Feng wanted to use this opportunity to expose the corruption in Sihai Group’s construction, making them suffer losses. Any adverse news about Sihai Group now would trigger a chain reaction, and that was exactly what Li Feng was waiting for. After this, he just needed to add fuel to the fire, and the castle Sihai Group built on sand was bound to crumble.
Who would’ve guessed that Sihai was essentially hastening their own demise by handing themselves the very rope to hang with?
"Who was the deceased, do you know?"
"A holdout, said to be an elderly loner," Yun Qi replied bluntly. Li Feng squinted his eyes and picked up his phone.
"Immediately check on that project in Dragon Bay for me, find out which people were working for Sihai, I need it right away."
"Yes, Mr. Feng."
Li Feng hung up the phone, walked straight into the bedroom, and came out dressed neatly a minute later. Yun Qi stood up, looking at Li Feng: "Feng, what are you up to?"
"I’m going to handle some business."
"Feng bro, take me with you when you’ve got something going on!"
Yun Qi eagerly caught up.
"I’ve got stuff to handle that’s not up your alley, go entertain yourself." Li Feng waved his hand and left the suite straight away, heading downstairs where the doorman had a car waiting at the hotel entrance; Li Feng got in and drove away.
"Feng bro, I’ve looked into what you wanted to know. That piece of land in Dragon Bay was initially contracted out to a service company called Zhang Maode. I asked around, and it turns out this service company is just a front. It’s really a bunch of thugs led by Zhang Maode, known on the streets as Dishonest Zhang."
"Issue the Dragon King Order. I want this man."
"Yes, Young Master Feng, as long as he’s still in Huacheng, he won’t be able to escape."
"Issue the Dragon King Order for Young Master Feng, find this man for me."
A phone call had the underground forces of Huacheng spring into action.
Zhang Maode Service Company.
Li Feng parked the car in front of an old building from the last century, glanced at the sign hanging at the entrance, and walked straight into the building.
"Three twos and a six left, anyone raising?"
"Ha, knew you couldn’t meet it. A seven, fork over the cash."
"One more round."
"This is the Zhang Maode Service Company." Li Feng walked in, and the inside was filled with smoke and haze. A few employees, who clearly looked like gangsters, were playing cards. The office was a mess, clearly not a legitimate company.
"Yeah, you here to talk business?"
"I’m looking for your boss Zhang Maode, is he not in?"
"Heh, our boss is probably still not out of bed yet. Whatever you need, you can talk to me."
"That’ll do. Your company was responsible for the demolition of that land in Dragon Bay?"
Li Feng went straight to the point.
"Yeah, we handled that. Why, are you also in need of this kind of service? We specialize in demolitions. Want to discuss terms inside? Our rates are very cost-effective."
"That lonely old man’s body found in Dragon Bay was also buried in your walls by you?"
"What lonely old man’s body?"
"Dude, who exactly are you, and are you here to start trouble?" The young man’s face soured as he looked at Li Feng.
"Seems like you really know about this."
When Li Feng saw the change in the young man’s face, it wasn’t a look of shock at hearing about it, but of surprise and dismay at having a secret uncovered.
"Kid, you’ve got the wrong place."
Thud.
The door behind Li Feng was abruptly shut, and the others in the room stood up, staring at him menacingly.
"How did you know about this, and who else knows?" The young man stared sharply at Li Feng.
"Don’t you guys watch the news? A Sihai building collapsed—that one where you buried the person. I believe that old man must have died with regrets, and heaven has finally seen justice."
The young man blurted out a curse, "That’s pretty bold," then looked up at Li Feng: "You’re a cop!"
"No, I’m just here to find out if this was your doing, or if Sihai directed you to do it."
The young man stared coldly at Li Feng: "Whether you are or not, you’re not walking out of this room today."
Before he could finish speaking.
A chilling wind hit Li Feng from behind.
"Die already."
