Chapter 126 The Suffering Old Man
Chapter 126 The Suffering Old Man
“Just tell me what you want to do. Don’t worry about the money. I can hand over 10 million.” Wang Feng said.
“Alright. I want to open a big commercial shopping centre after I graduate. It’s best if it is a nation-wide business. But in order to open a big shopping centre, the money needed is way too much. I can’t hand over so much money.” Xu Haijiang poured a glass of beer for himself and said slowly.
F**k!
After hearing his words, Wang Feng cursed without thinking. To open a shopping centre in a place like Zhu Hai City, anything short of a few billion can be considered a pipe dream. The money needed to invest in such a business is seriously too much.
Earning back the capital would take a very long time.
“Do you feel that I’m too innocent?” Seeing Wang Feng’s reaction, Xu Haijiang laughed and said bitterly.
“No,” said Wang Feng. He then followed, “The proverb said it well. A man’s ambition is proportionate to the success and wealth he will have. The money needed to open a shopping mall is indeed enormous. In such a short period of time, I would definitely not hand over such a large sum of money. However, as long as you are willing to go to Zhu Hai City with me, I can build a big-scale market for you first. If you can earn back the capital within a year, I am willing to invest money in you to build a shopping mall.”
“Is that for real?” Hearing Wang Feng’s words, Xu Haijiang’s body shook in disbelief.
Investing in a shopping mall was his greatest dream. However, it only existed in his ideal vision. It could not be materialized in reality. Where did he have such capacity?
But now, Wang Feng’s words gave him hope. Restraining his excitement was impossible.
“Of course. I, Wang Feng, have been friends with you for 20 years. Do you think I will lie to you?” Wang Feng looked at him steadily in the eye and said.
“Then let’s keep to our words!” Seeing that Wang Feng didn’t seem like he was lying, Xu Haijiang could not help but feel excited.
“Alright. Let’s leave this matter for the future. Ultimately, I won’t lie to you.”
“Deal. I’ll exchange the supermarket in my home tomorrow. There have already been people discussing with me. I was just not willing to sell it.”
“That will be up to you. If you really want to earn money, staying in a place like Qing County definitely would not work. As long as you have the heart, I can provide you with an expansive platform. If you are willing to accept me today, then I am willing to help you tomorrow.” Wang Feng said and his voice started to grow serious.
“Then please rest here for now. I will go find someone to discuss now.” As he said this, Xu Haijiang hurriedly grabbed his keys and bolted out of the door.
After he left, Wang Feng finally let out a long sigh. He did not sleep. Yet, he sat on the sofa and started to practice the Nine Nine to One Cultivation Method.
When practiced, this sort of God Spirit Sect’s internal technique far surpassed the art of Qi Gathering. Wang Feng predicted that if he continued to train like this, it would not take longer than half a year to successfully gain Internal Strength.
The best age to practice was before 30. To improve after that age would be extremely difficult. Therefore, Wang Feng had a few years more.
Whether he could reach Gui Jianchou’s level and even surpass him will only be a matter of these few years.
A few years seemed like a long time. However, if one were to really calculate it, it only comprised of a few thousand days and nights. It was extremely short.
After an unknown time of practising, Wang Feng was awoken by hurried footsteps.
Opening his eyes, Wang Feng immediately saw a flushed Xu Haijiang. He hadn’t even wore his socks before he rushed in.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing such a scene, Wang Feng sensed that something must have happened.
“Your uncle has been apprehended by the police. He’s already on television.” Xu Haijiang shouted and switched on the television.
The television was showing live broadcast news. The scene on television paused at an area of wilderness. This field of wilderness had already been tightly surrounded by the police carrying ammunition. It was impossible for the average person to go near.
In the scene, Wang Feng’s uncle was apprehended by two police and his hands were already cuffed.
In the wilderness, a woman was in tears and wanted to dash out. It was Yan Xiaojie.
Although Yan Xiaojie always screamed and shouted at Ran Jiangtian showing no face at all, she still wailed loudly as the man was taken away as a criminal, hoping that she could save him.
But with so many policemen here, she was directly cordoned off at home. She could not even leave her door.
No matter how hard she cried, Ran Jiangtian was still taken away by the police in the end. She had no retaliatory power at all.
“Shit!”
Seeing the news on the television, Wang Feng punched his fist into the sofa. He created a huge hole in the sofa and gave Xu Haijiang a fright.
Wang Feng could hide, but he forgot that his uncle was also a live witness. That old man must have had let loose something. What a sick old man.
Now, as he thought about his decision to let that old man go, a wave of headache hit him. He had been way too kind and was deceived by the external appearance of that old man.
Although there was no sense of revenge between the two men, at that moment, he had already become Wang Feng’s enemy.
When dealing with enemies, Wang Feng naturally had no sense of pity. When he had to kill, he would kill. If not, one would never know when he would return and retaliate.
His uncle’s act of getting caught caused Wang Feng’s heart to sink instantly. He stood up and said to Xu Haijiang, “Haijiang, prepare a set of clothes for me. Also prepare some makeup items for me. I am going out for a trip.”
“What are you going to do?” Hearing Wang Feng’s words, Xu Haijiang was shocked and immediately pulled Wang Feng. He said, “Don’t do anything silly. There are so many policemen there. Do you really think you can save your uncle?”
He dared to be wrong, so Wang Feng replied, “I’m leaving not to save him. When tomorrow comes, my uncle will naturally escape. I am leaving now to accomplish something else.” Wang Feng opened his mouth and his heart pulsated with murderous intent.
The act of getting caught would not be a threat to his uncle’s life. However, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be tortured. So if Wang Feng did not let the anger in his heart dissipate, there was no way he could practice on even if he tried.
“Then wait here. I will help you prepare immediately.” After saying that, Xu Haijiang ran into his room. After a few sounds, he hugged a bag of normal clothes and makeup items and ran out of the room.
“That’s all. See if you can use them. These are the makeup items used by my wife in the past. I’m not sure if they have expired.”
“It’s alright.” Wang Feng said and accepted the items.
Makeup was something Wang Feng had never learnt before. But he was not intending to makeup to look beautiful. He was doing makeup in order to pull off a more convincing guise.
The numerous makeup on Wang Feng’s face was endlessly being applied. Quickly, under Xu Haijiang’s shocked gaze, Wang Feng underwent an enormous transformation. Originally, he looked quite handsome. But after the makeup, he was ugly to a fault. Even Xu Haijiang didn’t dare to say that he recognized Wang Feng.
This face that had a black patch here and a white patch there would not be spared another look by even an average person. It was too hideous indeed.
“Cough cough...” After violently coughing for a bit, Xu Haijiang averted his head and no longer looked at Wang Feng.
After wearing Xu Haijiang’s clothes, Wang Feng tidied himself slightly and said, “Alright. Xu Haijiang, stay at home first. Don’t lock the door. I predict after two hours I’ll be back.”
After he said that, Wang Feng immediately walked swiftly out with a few hundred yuan on him.
After hailing a cab, Wang Feng immediately went to the government. He was preparing to kill someone. That old man had betrayed them. If Wang Feng were to let him go, that would be a joke.
That driver had saw Wang Feng’s ugly countenance so he didn’t say a word on the entire journey. It only took a few minutes before he reached the front gate of the government house.
At that moment, the government’s front gate had long been surrounded by the police. There was an even wider circle of reporters and journalists surrounding them. It was extremely exciting.
“Hi. Miss, do you know an old driver? He belongs to a property holdings company. I am his distant nephew. I’m here to bail him out.” Wang Feng asked as he bothered a woman wearing professional attire.
“Ah!” The lady was shocked by Wang Feng’s looks. She almost kicked Wang Feng and her face showed a shadow of hatred and disgust.
The Wang Feng now was seriously too ugly. He was too old-fashioned. One look left the lady feeling disgusted. She almost vomitted out all the rice in her stomach.
“Who are you referring to?” The lady asked after moving a few metres away from Wang Feng.
“I’m not sure.” Wang Feng shook his head and said, “He said he was driving for a man known as Boss Ye. As for the details, I’m not too sure about that.”
“Oh, you must be referring to Boss Ye’s professional chaffeur. He is in the government building taking notes now. Go find him there.” The lady informed kindly.
“Then could you bring me to find him? I’m afraid I can’t enter. I don’t have a single cent on me. If I don’t find him soon, I will starve to death on the streets.”
“Alright.” Seeing how pitiful Wang Feng was, the lady eventually agreed despite her disgust.
“Many thanks.” Wang Feng said. He passionately went forward wishing to hold this lady’s hand. Yet, that lady nimbly moved away.
“Follow me.” The lady said and led Wang Feng into the government building.
On the way, although people had noticed Wang Feng, they immediately averted their gaze as he was way too ugly. They did not want to look a second time.
Soon, Wang Feng was brought into the government building by the lady and entered the second floor.
In the distance, Wang Feng could hear an old man’s voice. It said, “I swear, everything I’ve said is true. That young man truly killed someone. I swear on my life.”
This voice seemed extremely familiar to Wang Feng. If it was not him that he was seeking, who else could it be?
“Alright, it’s right in that room. I’ve already brought you here, you can go yourself now.” After finishing her words, the lady immediately turned and left. She did not wish to stay by Wang Feng’s side for any longer.
Just now, when she brought Wang Feng in, it is unclear the countless number of eye rolls she had received. So if she were to stay any longer with Wang Feng, not going crazy would be improbable.
Walking into that room’s door, Wang Feng saw then that there were many people sitting in that room. The old man seemed to be under interrogation.
“Who are you looking for?” At this point, someone looked at Wang Feng and asked.
“Oh, I’m here to find my Second Uncle.” Wang Feng said a little sheepishly.
“Then you’re in the wrong place. Go find him somewhere else.” Someone waved his hand annoyedly.
“Oh, the Second Uncle I’m looking for is him.” As he spoke, Wang Feng pointed to the old man.
“What?” That old man turned and looked suspiciously at Wang Feng.
“Who are you?” The old man asked, confused.
“Second Uncle, it’s me, your nephew! You said once you’re rich I could come and save you. So I’ve been poor with no food to eat. If you don’t help me, I will starve to death.”
“What?” Hearing Wang Feng’s words, the old man was even more suspicious.
