Chapter 211: Moving to Xin Cheng

~7 min read 1,332 words

I asked Shangguan Zhuren: "Shangguan Zhuren, where are we going?"

Shangguan Zhuren said: "We are going to Xin Cheng."

"Going to Xin Cheng, isn't that too dangerous?" I said.

"The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Living in Xin Cheng brings us closer to our goal." Shangguan then raised his head and looked at the night sky, said.

At this moment Xiao Fang came out of the room,

"Dad, I've already packed up; moving in the middle of the night, can't we wait until tomorrow to leave?" I said.

"We can't wait; too many people already know about this place. If anyone is careless and leaks information, we'll all be finished. We must leave." Shangguan Zhuren's attitude cannot be refused.

"Going to Xin Cheng, where will we live?" Xiao Fang asked.

"I've already arranged it; don't ask." Shangguan Zhuren then said no more.

I began packing my belongings.

I don't have much, just a few pieces of clothing.

I don't need anything else.

Xiao Fang drove the car, and we moved the luggage onto it.

Then I and Shangguan Zhuren got into the car, and Xiao Fang sped off toward Xin Cheng.

I sat in the car thinking, perhaps Shangguan Zhuren's consideration is correct, because Lao Wai and Ding Li both know this place; moreover, Lao Wai's mouth spouts nonsense, and if any rumor were to leak, it would be very disadvantageous for us; before we even act, people would have destroyed our nest—truly dying before the battle even begins.

I looked at the streetlights outside the car window, flickering on and off, and thought to myself, Xin Cheng, I'm back again.

Three months ago, I hastily fled Xin Cheng; three months later, I returned.

But this time returning, I don't know what will happen. Everything is unknown.

The car quickly entered Xin Cheng; Xin Cheng is much more beautiful than the old city district.

Xiao Fang asked Shangguan Zhuren on the road: "Dad, where in Xin Cheng are we going?"

Shangguan Zhuren said: "Go to Cui Bamboo Garden; I've already rented a place there."

Cui Bamboo Garden. Upon hearing it, I know this place; the residential complex is very close to Zaocheng Grand Hotel, just across a street.

Could our target be inside Zaocheng Grand Hotel?

On the way to the Cui Bamboo Garden residential area, we happened to pass Da Heng Group.

Although Xiao Fang's car was going fast, I also saw the office building of Da Heng Group Company from the car window.

The office building's lights were still on; I don't know who is working inside. They must be pleased now, having taken control of Da Heng Group. Now they're probably dividing the spoils of victory.

Will the employees of Da Heng Group remember me?

Perhaps many have forgotten me; perhaps many who hate me are now rejoicing in their hearts.

I watched Da Heng Group recede through the car window, and a feeling of sorrow and indignation rose in my heart.

I, the old man, will never admit defeat, nor will I easily let you succeed.

Because I will live, I want you to see who will ultimately laugh last.

I forcibly swallowed this feeling of sorrow and indignation,

because now is not the time for me to express my emotions.

Xiao Fang drove the car, bringing us quickly to the gate of the Cui Bamboo Garden residential area; the guard would not let the car enter.

We could only get out of the car, carrying our luggage upstairs.

The guard looked at us and asked: "What are you doing here at this late hour?"

Xiao Fang replied: "We're moving today; haven't you heard that moving earlier is better?"

The guard smiled and then opened the gate to let us in.

The buildings in Cui Bamboo Garden are at most 23 stories high,

the unit Shangguan Zhuren rented is on the west side of the 23rd floor.

After going upstairs and entering the room, Shangguan Zhuren turned on the light.

The interior decoration is quite good, and there is also furniture and daily necessities.

It seems Shangguan Zhuren rented a move-in-ready apartment.

At this moment, Shangguan Zhuren entered the room and opened the living room door,

there is a huge telescope on the balcony,

the telescope is aimed at the brightly lit Zaocheng Grand Hotel opposite.

Shangguan Zhuren pointed at the telescope and said: "Jianqiang, do you know what this is used for?"

I said: "Telescope, Shangguan Zhuren, are we going to monitor Zaocheng Grand Hotel to see what illegal activities Kong Shi and Niu Ju have here, right?"

Shangguan Zhuren shook his head,

"Those are too trivial; they're as sly as monkeys, so they wouldn't do illegal things here. We're not monitoring them; we want to monitor a person you've been imitating these days."

Upon hearing Shangguan Zhuren say that, I immediately understood,

"Shangguan Zhuren, are we supposed to monitor Zhou Fuhai, who lives at Zaocheng Grand Hotel?"

"Monitoring Zhou Fuhai is to know when he comes to Zaocheng, so we can formulate an action plan. As your stand-in, we need to know when you should act. Zhou Fuhai will certainly come to Zaocheng soon, and when he does he will definitely stay at Zaocheng Grand Hotel. That way we'll be very close to our target."

"Everything hinges on when that Zhou Fuhai arrives." Shangguan Zhuren pointed at the telescope and said.

I said with some concern: "Shangguan Zhuren, the daily foot traffic at Zaocheng Grand Hotel is huge; relying solely on the telescope we can't tell which one is Zhou Fuhai. Moreover, we can't monitor 24 hours; what if he comes at night?"

Upon hearing me say that, Shangguan Zhuren said helplessly: "For now this is the only method; I haven't thought of any better ones. From now on, the two of us will take turns using the telescope to keep watch; I'm sure we'll discover Zhou Fuhai's whereabouts."

At this moment Xiao Fang yawned,

"Dad, I'm tired; I've been tossing and turning all night, I'll go to sleep first."

Shangguan Zhuren said: "Go to sleep. Jianqiang and I will chat a bit more."

Shang Fang pushed open another bedroom door and went in to sleep.

Shangguan Zhuren took out a cigarette and threw it to me,

「Jianqiang, Zhou Fuhai acts discreetly; after he arrives, he definitely won't make a big show. We only need to pay attention to the vehicles in the capital. 」

「Shangguan Zhuren, Zhou Fuhai is coming; do Niu Ju and Kong Shi not know? I believe they will come specially to greet him. But has Zhou Fuhai ever met Niu Ju and Kong Shi before? 」 I asked.

「Between them, they probably haven't met; that's what I think, because someone of Zhou Fuhai's level would never meet small figures like Kong Shi and Niu Ju. He is Zhou Renfeng's most trusted person; the people he meets are all of a higher level. Now, regarding the Da Heng Group's affairs, he must come out to handle them, which is why he has come to Zaocheng. Otherwise, how would he have come here? 」

「However, I believe Liu Shiru must have met him. 」

「I don't know if Liu Shiru has come to Zaocheng. If he does come to Zaocheng, that would be great; then we'll wipe him out together. 」 I said fiercely.

「Jianqiang, now is not the time to think about that; we must absolutely avoid any impulsiveness. Rashness will only cause trouble

What we are doing now is to try to find out when Zhou Fuhai will come to Zaocheng, and then you will replace him.

「Next, we will follow our script and act. For now, don't consider Liu Shiru. The road is walked step by step, and revenge is taken bit by bit. 」 Shangguan Zhuren comforted me, saying.

I nodded, took a puff of cigarette, looked out the window at the Zaocheng Grand Hotel, and in my heart said the matter of revenge is coming soon; then let it come fiercely.
