Give me one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Feng Pojun take out a pack of cigarettes and hand it over along with a lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan sat up straight, pulled out a cigarette and lit it, taking a deep drag, letting the smoke enter his lungs, then exhaling. His thoughts temporarily cleared up a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the car window, the night breeze blew in. Chen Fan let out a long sigh, feeling much better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the cigarette in his mouth, he glanced at Feng Pojun concentrating on driving in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan slowly said, \"Old Feng, why don't you find a trustworthy young man from the security team to drive for me tomorrow? Then you won't have to run around with me every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, don't you trust me anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not that. It's mainly that you're doing well as the security manager now, there's no need for you to come over and be my driver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Feng replied in a muffled voice, \"Compared to being at the club, I prefer being by the boss's side as a driver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suit yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, where are you living now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I rented a place near the club, a one-bedroom apartment. It's enough for me living alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and said, \"You can be considered one of the first batch of veterans who started the business with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before, when we were struggling to start the business, you all suffered along with me. Now that we've finally achieved some success, I've neglected the welfare and benefits for you veterans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this, in a couple of days I'll discuss with Manager Ding and see if we can come up with some regulations to increase the benefits for you managers and those outstanding employees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Feng turned his head with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, boss. But I don't spend much money usually, being alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't let the other managers at the club hear you say that, or they might knock you out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun scratched his head a bit embarrassedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Feng, you're only in your forties this year, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan sighed, \"At the age of knowing fate, haven't you thought about finding someone again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Feng focused on driving, and after a while, he said in a muffled voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's good being alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan didn't say more, knowing this guy hadn't walked out of the grief of losing his wife yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll squeeze in with you at your place tonight. I drank too much and it's very late, I won't go back home to avoid my mom's nagging.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Feng was a bit embarrassed: \"Boss, my place is a bit messy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan chuckled, \"I don't have obsessive-compulsive disorder. It's fine for one night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throwing the burnt-out cigarette butt out the window, Chen Fan suddenly remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh right. Help me look into something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruochu told me that when the car crashed that day, I was unconscious and she couldn't pull me out of the car alone. In the end, it was a passerby who helped pull me out...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help me find out who this person is. So many days have passed, we should express our gratitude.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's easy. I'll take care of it tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan then asked, \"Old Yang agreed to stay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm. He said he's betting the latter half of his life on the boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled. \"Don't worry, I won't mistreat him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you have time, settle the payment for his last mission, and give him an extra 5,000 yuan as a bonus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, tell him to stay hidden in the dark for now, don't show his face, and don't let people know about his relationship with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Yang only has one task now, to keep a close eye on the Zhao family for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially their second young master, Zhao Longqi. Keep a close watch on his every move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun hesitated for a moment before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, are you sure the person behind the scenes is the Zhao family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We still haven't found the person who called and contacted Song Mingjie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides him, I can't think of anyone else in Yunhai who hates me so bitterly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's actually very easy to confirm if it's him. You do this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan gave some instructions in a low voice, and Old Feng nodded to indicate he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, Chen Fan called his mom to say he was playing with friends too late tonight and wouldn't be coming home, but staying at a friend's place for the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinqiu didn't say much, just reminded her son to be careful and not to drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at Old Feng's place, Old Feng cleaned up the master bedroom for Chen Fan to stay in, while he moved to sleep on the living room sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was on the balcony having his routine phone call with Su Ruochu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Old Feng took Song Mingjie's phone and turned it on, then found the number Song Mingjie had mentioned last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sent a text message:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you guys mean? Aren't you going to help me leave yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a feeling the police are about to find me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph. If you don't help soon, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll spill everything then, we can die together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending it, there was still no response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Feng smoked a cigarette, then sent another message as the boss had instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew long ago you'd abandon me after using me, wanting me to take all the blame? Hmph, luckily I kept something up my sleeve. Don't think I don't know who you people are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, I have nothing left to lose now. I'm not afraid of death, but you Zhao, do you dare to perish with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly pointing out the Zhao family was a risky move. If the person behind the scenes wasn't the Zhao, then Chen Fan might never be able to track them down in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, after about 3 minutes, the phone vibrated with a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun opened it to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this message, Feng Pojun's lips curled into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fish took the bait. Looks like the boss guessed right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other side was indeed the Zhao family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the other party called. Feng Pojun rejected it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They called again. He hung up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the other party seemed a bit angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun replied: \"Sorry, I don't trust you guys now. I'm afraid your Zhao family will betray me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party: \"How did you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun: \"Never mind how I knew. I just have one thing to say now, if you want mutual destruction, I can turn myself in tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the other party's attitude softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Song, don't be angry. We never thought of betraying a friend from beginning to end. You're overthinking it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We haven't contacted you these past few days because we've also been trying to find a way for you to leave Yunhai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun: \"Cut the crap. I don't believe a word you say now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party: \"What exactly do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun: \"It's simple. I want 5 million yuan in cash plus a fake passport.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me the money and I'll disappear immediately, never to return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party: \"Are you sure you can keep your mouth shut once we give you the money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun: \"Rest assured. I'm a man of my word.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party: \"Alright. Name a place and we'll meet for the transaction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun thought for a moment and replied: \"Tomorrow night, West Harbor pier, 11 pm. Remember, only you can bring the money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once I get the money, I'll leave right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. It's a deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun knew the other party had taken the bait. He put away the phone and walked towards the bedroom next door. He needed to report to the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>",1462,"2026-06-05T15:06:59.735Z",1,"novelbin.me","321f30795f5270c24ab7c6912ee27d9a9d3375b9019700c51a9bc856649f2596","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-567","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-565",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
