Chapter 76

In the funeral home, Wu Changxiong stared at his son's corpse, silent and speechless.

Beside him, his wife Yang Feng kept wiping away tears.

It was not easy for the funeral home staff to sew Wu Guan's corpse so it looked intact.

When Cao Ming first set off the explosives on his body, he nonetheless grabbed Wu Guan in a bear hug, and they perished together.

This can't be blamed on Cao Ming; Wu Guan went too far.

Originally Cao Ming was going to endure it, but someone forcibly pried open his mouth, and Wu Guan was about to urinate into it—no one could tolerate that..

Seeing his son lying peacefully in the coffin, as if asleep, Wu Changxiong had Secretary Wang prepare a larger red envelope.

After receiving the red envelope, the funeral home manager tried to thank him with a solemn face, but inside he was already overjoyed.

Wu Changxiong closed his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "Send him for cremation!"

"My son!"

Yang Feng suddenly let out a piercing wail and lunged toward the coffin.

Immediately someone stopped her.

Wu Changxiong said lightly, "It's all because you spoiled him rotten since childhood—look at all the trouble he's caused over the years. I said it before: sooner or later this day would come."

The coffin was closed and taken by the staff to the cremation chamber.

By the time the couple left, Yang Feng already had an urn in her hand.

After getting in the car, Wu Changxiong told Secretary Wang, who had been by his side, "Send someone to investigate—find out exactly what happened."

Wu Changxiong had also mixed in the outside world when he was young, knowing that some things aren't as simple as they appear.

"Yes, Chairman."

Secretary Wang nodded, a hint of difficulty appearing on his face.

"Is it very difficult?"

Wu Changxiong glanced at Secretary Wang, furrowed his brows, and asked.

Secretary Wang said, "You also know that Young Master Wu Guan has offended many people in recent years. If we were to investigate each enemy one by one, it would take a long time."

Wu Changxiong thought for a moment, then said, "Let's start by investigating the recent trouble he caused. I don't believe in the saying that a gentleman can wait ten years to take revenge—if one has the ability to retaliate, they would have done so already; if they lack the ability, they'll never get revenge in this lifetime."

Secretary Wang said, "The recent trouble Young Master Wu Guan has stirred up is really not minor..."

"Guo Yanru of Qingfeng Investment, and Lin Feng..."

After hearing Secretary Wang's report, Wu Changxiong furrowed his brows and muttered.

Secretary Wang said, "Logically, the other side has no reason to deal a lethal blow to Young Master Wu Guan. It's not a deep-seated grudge."

Wu Changxiong shook his head and said, "You can't compare these two to ordinary people; they have money, which gives them tremendous power that ordinary people lack."

With such tremendous power in hand, if others offend by a foot, I will retaliate by ten feet! The main focus is to investigate these two; if nothing comes up, we'll continue digging further.

"All right!" Secretary Wang nodded.

August 18, Saturday.

At 10:30 a. m., Lin Feng woke up in the rest area of Guo Yanru's office.

The employees had already started work.

Lin Feng went to the washroom, splashed cold water on his face, then returned to the office and sat down.

Having slept from 4 a. m. to 10:30 a. m., a total of six and a half hours, Lin Feng's spirits were quite good.

The company's manager in charge of Bitcoin purchases, Kang Wei, gathered the Bitcoin bought by his several teams, stored the private keys on a portable hard drive, and delivered it to Lin Feng.

Kang Wei gave a report, saying they had spent over 20 million and collected more than 300,000.

In terms of cost, this round spent nearly 10 million more than the previous round.

Although the amount of Bitcoin being mined is increasing, Lin Feng's purchasing behavior has driven up the price.

"Is it still okay to collect?" Lin Feng asked.

Kang Wei replied, "Many players in the crypto circle can produce large amounts of Bitcoin each day, especially after we started purchasing; some people who previously didn't play have also joined in."

Although the quantity keeps growing, the price isn't rising now, so many people are holding onto their coins and unwilling to sell...

After Kang Wei finished speaking, Lin Feng thought and said, "Then let's raise the price again to double—200 yuan each—and take as much as is available."

"All right!" Kang Wei nodded.

It was almost noon; Lin Feng was about to leave work, taking advantage of the US stock market closure to rest for two days.

Before he even stepped out, a phone call came in.

The caller ID showed Bei Huaron.

Thinking of the triplets sisters he hadn't seen in a long time, Lin Feng immediately answered the call.

"Little Feng brother!"

Bei Huaron's clear voice came from the phone.

"I'm the eldest, Bei Huaron!"

"I'm the second, Bei Luhua."

"I'm the third, Bei Yuyao."

Obviously the other end was on speakerphone; after the three sisters announced their names, Lin Feng smiled and said, "School is about to start—have you come back yet?"

"We're back! Starting from the second half of this year, we're now sophomores."

"Little Feng brother, do you have time to come out and play together?"

"Today is the weekend—you definitely aren't working."

"Are you sleeping in at home?"

Lin Feng thought about his schedule, smiled, and said, "I might not have time these few days—how about in a couple of days?"

"Ah~ I knew it would be like that."

You're a small landlord, what are you busy with all day?

Exactly, just as busy as our parents every day.

They don't even keep us company over summer break.

Seeing it was about to turn into a criticism meeting, Lin Feng hurriedly said, "Then let's do it tomorrow—I'll come pick you up then."

Great!

Let's go climb the Great Wall!

We've already been there! Let's go swimming!

We just got back from the sea—what swimming are you talking about!

How about inviting Xiao Feng over to our place to hang out?

Not a bad idea!

The three sisters discussed it in front of Lin Feng and unanimously agreed to invite him to their big Bieshu.

Lin Feng agreed.

After hanging up, Lin Feng shook his head.

These three sisters have a place to live in Yanjing, yet they choose to rent a house—quite odd.

Probably because it's too far from home!

Lin Feng drove his black Porsche to Jinhu Huayuan residential community.

He parked downstairs.

Before coming, he had called ahead.

Wen Keke was already waiting at the elevator lobby entrance.

After Lin Feng parked, Wen Keke walked over.

Her family had already been there for a day or two.

Mother Chen Chunhua, father Wen Dayi, and younger brother Wen Zhu.

"After we go up, how will you introduce me?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Wen Keke's face flushed. "I've already told them, you're my boyfriend."

Mm-hmm!

Lin Feng raised his arm to gesture.

Wen Keke linked her arm with Lin Feng's.

Although she knew about Zhu Li and Lin Feng's relationship, and that Lin Feng had more than just Zhu Li.

But Wen Keke still chose to be Lin Feng's girlfriend.

In her heart, she had actually struggled for a long time.

Finally she convinced herself: as long as Lin Feng didn't flirt with other women in front of her, she would pretend not to know.

Compared to Zhu Li, Wen Keke's realm is clearly a level higher.

She doesn't pursue excessive material enjoyment; as long as she's happy, that's enough.

Being with Lin Feng gives a feeling of being cared for, and no matter what happens, there's a sense of having something to rely on.

Over the years, her family has never given her this sense of security.

The door of unit 1706 was open.

When Lin Feng was changing shoes, the whole family got up from the sofa.

Xiao Feng has arrived!

Chen Chunhua called out happily.

Lin Feng smiled and greeted, "Auntie, Uncle Wen, younger brother, hello!"

Wen Dayi laughed and said, "Young man, you're really handsome!"

Brother!

Somewhat nervous, Wen Zhu bowed to Lin Feng.

Wen Dayi is slender, wears glasses, his hair is all gray, though he's not bald.

He probably looked quite handsome when he was young.

Wen Zhu also looks fresh and handsome, like a recent college graduate.

This guy actually just graduated from college; at first glance, he doesn't look like a gambling addict.

But appearances can be deceiving.

After Lin Feng sat down, Wen Keke poured him a cup of tea.

After that, it was just the normal program.

Chen Chunhua directly or indirectly probed for information about Lin Feng.

When they heard Lin Feng owned over a hundred similar units in Yanjing, not just this one apartment, they were so happy they couldn't stop smiling.

Compared to Lin Feng, that Cao Ming isn't even worthy of carrying his shoes.

As for his profession, Lin Feng smiled and said, "I don't have any formal job now; I've invested in a company and am waiting at home for dividends."

"Brother, which company are you talking about?" Wen Zhu asked curiously.

"Great Flag Media." Lin Feng said calmly.

Wen Zhu exclaimed in surprise, "I know, it's the investment company behind that recently hit TV drama!"

Lin Feng, on the other hand, hadn't paid attention to those things; he just nodded.

At this point, Chen Chunhua asked, "Then when are you planning to get married? You're not young anymore!"

Wen Keke glared at her mother and said, "Mom, there's no rush on this."

Chen Chunhua quickly reacted, quickly saying: "No rush, no rush! You young people aren't in a hurry, why are we getting anxious?"

She was afraid that urging marriage would scare off Lin Feng, this good son-in-law; what should we do?

Nowadays, young people marry later, saying they are enjoying premarital life.

Especially young people who are financially free, they really agree with this, and they also break up more easily.

Lin Feng sized up Wen Zhu and said, "Wen Zhu, you don't have a formal job now, do you?"

"Yes, brother!" Wen Zhu quickly replied.

After answering, she looked at Lin Feng with an expectant face.

He is a college graduate, and this future brother-in-law is also a shareholder of Great Flag Media; maybe a word could get him into the company as an executive, daily contact with female stars!

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Then I'll find you a job! You'll start work next week. At first you might have to endure some hardship."

Wen Zhu patted her chest and said, "Brother, rest assured, I'm not afraid of hardship!"

After meeting the parents and having lunch, Lin Feng took his leave.

Wen Keke will send Lin Feng downstairs.

Lin Feng gave a hehe smile and said, "I did pretty well today, right?"

Wen Keke nodded and said, "Yeah! After my mom goes back, she'll be bragging about it for a while."

"I performed so well, shouldn't I get a little reward?"

Lin Feng's gaze turned scorching.

"Outside!" Wen Keke said shyly.

Lin Feng immediately pulled her, opened the car door, and got in.

A moment later, Wen Keke got out of the car, adjusting her skirt while coquettishly saying, "You're becoming more and more dishonest!"

Lin Feng wore a helpless expression and said, "When can we finally sleep together?"

"Rascal!"

Wen Keke stomped her foot and turned away.

Lin Feng laughed, liking Wen Keke's coy yet endearing manner.

No rush, take it slow!

In the afternoon, Lin Feng drove to Zhao Xiaoyang's Fierce Tiger Gym.

"Brother, someone is investigating us; it's probably the Wu family."

In a room of the gym, Zhao Xiaoyang frowned and said.

"How far have they gotten?" Lin Feng asked.

Zhao Xiaoyang said, "I don't know, but yesterday someone slipped Duan Fei ten thousand yuan to ask about what happened on the road that day."

"What did Duan Fei say?" Lin Feng asked again.

Zhao Xiaoyang said, "Duan Fei is trustworthy; he only mentioned our relationship, and the other side didn't bring up Cao Ming, so they probably haven't uncovered Cao Ming's lead yet."

Seeing Lin Feng silent, Zhao Xiaoyang thought and said, "Should we let Duan Fei go hide for a while? He's the one in charge of watching Cao Ming."

Moreover, this can't be hidden for long; at most two or three days, they'll find out about the conflict between Cao Ming and you, brother.

Lin Feng's mind brought up the Wu family's information.

Previously, Zhao Xiaoyang had hired professionals to investigate, and for these data he had spent several hundred thousand.

Lin Feng sighed and said, "So I usually don't want to deal with Wu Changxiong and his ilk, and I also keep my distance from playboys and rich second‑generation heirs, because once something happens it's like pulling a tangled mess—a single tiny thread can drag out a heap of trouble."

Zhao Xiaoyang said, "But if we don't take out Wu Guan, the trouble will only get bigger later."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "I have no regrets about this. Since Wu Changxiong won't back off, don't blame me for rooting out the problem."

"Brother, what should we do?"

Zhao Xiaoyang said excitedly.

Lin Feng gave him a knuckle on the head, saying, "It's not about shouting and killing; it's just about making that old guy go bankrupt."

This is a business matter; you can't help much. Wait until Yanru comes back to talk about it—she'll return at the end of the month.
