Chapter 249: Zhou Renfeng's Phone Call

The next day the plastic surgeon came, still driving that surgery-dedicated vehicle.

Don't worry about the money; we have plenty of it now.

I had Shi Yong prepare one million in cash for the doctor.

Upon seeing the cash, the plastic surgeon directly said, "You can be turned into an alien anywhere."

I laughed,

"No need to become an alien; just make me look like I used to."

The doctor said, "Making you look like you used to, Mr. Zhou, going back and forth like this has me a bit confused."

I said, "It's not for me to be done. It's for someone else."

As soon as I finished speaking, Xiao Long and Dean Chou brought Zhou Fuhai over. This Zhou Fuhai wore a hospital gown, his gaze vacant.

He had only been admitted for a day, and now he's like this.

This place is formidable; even a perfectly normal person will fall ill once inside.

They brought Zhou Fuhai into the vehicle,

I then took out a photo and gave it to the plastic surgeon, letting him look at my photo,

"Can you make him look roughly like the person in the photo?"

The plastic surgeon examined the photo carefully, then looked at Zhou Fuhai's face, and began measuring with a ruler,

"Should be about the same; his head is just a bit bigger, which makes it a little difficult."

I said, "Trust your skill; the money is in the vehicle. Let's wait and see the result."

After I finished speaking, I got out of the vehicle,

Under the drug's control, this Zhou Fuhai obediently followed the plastic surgeon into the operating room.

Then the vehicle door closed.

I, Xiao Long, and Shi Yong waited in the vehicle.

This surgery took longer, likely over six hours.

Only then was Zhou Fuhai pushed out of the vehicle by a nurse.

Zhou Fuhai's face was wrapped in white gauze, only his mouth showing; he looked like a mummy, terrifying.

Although we didn't see whether Zhou Fuhai's face resembled mine, from the plastic surgeon's expression we could tell he was satisfied.

Since he was satisfied, that indicates the result was good.

We handed Zhou Fuhai over to Dean Chou,

and then I instructed Dean Chou: "You must take good care of this Mr. Zhao; from now on you will call him Zhao Jianqiang, until he himself believes he is Zhao Jianqiang."

Dean Chou said, "Mr. Zhou, rest assured; I know how to do it."

This Zhou Fuhai has already finished the plastic surgery,

Next, I began to take the stage.

I had no worries left in my heart.

Anyway, he really has become that way; in the mental hospital, under drug control,

he will sooner or later forget his own identity, living like a corpse,

and then bear the name Zhao Jianqiang.

I suddenly felt that things in this world are truly hard to tell true from false.

We drove the car toward Shanghu,

Next, I still need to find Kong Shi to talk.

Upon arriving at the Shanghu Guesthouse, we settled in.

The next morning I inserted Zhou Fuhai's SIM card into a newly bought phone and turned it on.

Countless text messages poured in at once.

There were dozens of incoming call alerts.

There were also text messages.

I went through them one by one,

The most numerous were from a woman named Shen Honghong,

who almost every day called and messaged, it seems she has gone crazy missing Zhou Fuhai.

There were also a few landlines,

which were Sijiucheng numbers; looking at these numbers,

I thought to myself, I can't return, and I don't know who they are.

Wait for them to call, then slowly reply bit by bit.

I was looking at the phone,

the phone vibrated,

I saw it was a Sijiucheng landline calling; nowadays only scammers or mobile company salespeople use landlines.

I originally didn't want to answer, but thinking that Zhou Fuhai has been missing for so many days, surely many people would be worried.

So I answered the call,

an old man's voice came from the phone,

"Fuhai, where have you been these days, why is your phone off?"

Hearing the old man's stern questioning, my mind raced, wondering who this old man is; could it be Zhou Renfeng?

I felt it was probably about right,

the voice on the phone sounded very much like that person's voice in the video I had seen.

I hurriedly said, "Is it you, big brother? I've had something these days, my phone has been on, making you worry."

In Zhou Fuhai's email to Zhou Renfeng, I saw him always address Zhou Renfeng as big brother.

I also learned to call him big brother.

Zhou Renfeng on the phone didn't recognize my voice.

This shows my voice has passed.

I can get past Zhou Renfeng by deceiving him.

Zhou Renfeng on the phone said, "Did you go to South Bay?"

Upon hearing, I knew Zhou Renfeng was talking about Zhou Fuhai's gambling.

Zhou Fuhai especially loves gambling.

Moreover he also loves to write a gambling diary.

Every time after going to South Bay to play, he must write his reflections.

He records all gains and losses.

They are all kept in a folder.

This is good; I now have a rough understanding of Zhou Fuhai's life.

I immediately said, "Big brother, I'm really sorry; I played too long this time, got too excited, and forgot to keep my phone on."

Zhou Renfeng gently criticized: "Fuhai, I've told you many times to quit gambling, but you won't listen; how can this go on? The higher-ups are investigating people who gamble in South Bay. If you're on record, it'll be troublesome."

Especially when you start gambling, you don't care about anything.

Even I can't find you.

How can this continue?

If you don't mend your ways, Fuhai, from now on you don't need to follow me.

"Big brother, I was wrong, I know, I won't dare again. Rest assured, I will definitely correct." I pleaded to Zhou Renfeng on the phone.

Zhou Renfeng sighed.

"Alright, Fuhai, how are the matters in Zaocheng handled?"

Upon hearing, I knew Zhou Renfeng was asking about Zaocheng matters.

I then said, "Big brother, I'm doing everything according to your wishes; there is a major conflict between Niu Ju and Kong Shi, and I am desperately mediating them to prevent internal strife, otherwise it will affect the overall situation."

Now it's fine; they listen to me and work in an orderly manner.

Da Heng Group has been retained.

I have already arranged Kong Shi, letting Da Heng Group continue to deepen in real estate.

They have listened; Da Heng's assets remain untouched for now. I haven't yet met Zhang Zong.

After hearing me finish, Zhou Renfeng said: "Very good, their internal strife is too severe; they just aren't united, fighting to the death over trivial matters."

Many people have gotten into trouble, and it all starts internally. So you must manage them well for me, so they don't cause trouble.

That Niu Ju, you also need to keep him in check; don't let him become too arrogant and domineering.

Also Kong Shi, not being content with looking up to higher mountains, wanting to connect with the Li and Wang families through our Zhou family.

For now don't come back; in two days Liu Shiru will go to Zaocheng, then you meet him and convey my meaning.

That is to continue holding Da Heng Group.

Do not divide the assets for now.

I hurriedly said on the phone: "Okay, big brother, I'll wait for Mr. Liu in Zaocheng, meet him and discuss in detail, and convey your meaning."

"From now on don't turn off your phone. If this mistake happens again, don't blame me for dealing with you." Zhou Renfeng got a little angry.

I immediately said: "Big brother, rest assured, there won't be a next time. I guarantee the phone will be on 24 hours."
