The junior high school classmatesâ gathering on the fifth day of Chinese New Year, Feng Jun didnât attend, but the long-missing class leader showed up, still attracting quite a number of classmates.
Her beauty remained just as it was in those days, and she was very generous in spending, causing many boys to be infatuated.
Feng Jun saw a lot of these updates in the WeChat group, including a flood of photos, videos, and social media posts.
However, since Li Xiaobin was willing to talk, he was also willing to listen a bit more.
As they were speaking, a horn sounded from outside. Feng Jun went out to see and found an Audi A8 with a Zhengyang logo parked at the gate.
The visitor was Zhou Xiaotong. After entering the yard, she first went to the clothes rack and took an interested look at the birdâs nest on it, âSo low a birdâs nest⦠Master Feng truly is a man of great ability.â
Feng Jun glanced at the crow perched on the tree, âJust a silly bird. What brings you to Zhengyang?â
âOf course, Iâm here for you. I chased you all the way from Dengzhou,â Zhou Xiaotong gave him a look, then lifted her chin slightly, âArenât you going to invite me inside your house to sit?â
Feng Junâs eyes shifted, âWhat do you think⦠about the air in the yard?â
âDefinitely better than in the capital,â Zhou Xiaotong replied nonchalantly, âBut surely you wonât make me stand in the yard and chat, right?â
Canât detect anything unusual? That saves me five energy points, Feng Jun thought with a smile, âIsnât it quite nice to speak in the yard? Hmm, itâs a bit inconvenient inside the house.â
Zhou Xiaotong paused for a moment, faintly hearing screams coming from inside the house. She looked at him skeptically, then asked thoughtfully, âYou havenât set up a private court here, have you?â
Feng Jun looked at her and laughed, his laugh bearing a somewhat sinister undertone, âThatâs why I said, donât let me bump into you outside of the capital.â
Such tricks were useless on Zhou Xiaotong. She spoke with indifference, âDonât joke. We both know very well youâre not that kind of person⦠Donât you want to know why I came looking for you?â
Youâre a bit scared after all! Feng Jun could sense her unease, so he replied casually, âIf you donât tell me, I definitely wonât ask.â
Zhou Xiaotong turned to him, looking for a while before saying, âI went to Chaoyang a while ago.â
âHmm?â Feng Jun narrowed his eyes and gave her a cold look, a trace of chill flashing in his eyes, âAnd then what?â
âThen, I said I was your fan,â Zhou Xiaotong said with a smile, watching him, âand that I was pursuing you, wanting to marry you. Your folks were really warm to me⦠Turns out you were quite chubby as a child?â
Feng Junâs expression darkened, and he emitted an extremely dangerous aura as he spoke coldly, âI feel I need to make it clear to you, if you provoke me, I might not take it very seriously, but doing so, you might hurt my parentsâ¦â
âIf ever there comes a day⦠when I have to take action against you, nobody will be able to stop me.â
He knew that Zhou Xiaotongâs interaction with his parents was certainly not well-intentioned. When they were in the capital, she had tried to threaten him by harassing his parents. He couldnât tolerate such provocation.
In fact, even if she didnât use his parents as a threat, just the fact that she visited the elderly and gave them an impression that she âwanted to marry into the Feng familyâ was already a very bad thing.
Feng Jun understood his parents well. Even though they were involved in a small business, his father was actually quite shrewd, and his mother was a cultured lady from a scholarly family. Neither of them rushed him to get married, yet both harbored hopes in their hearts.
Was Zhou Xiaotongâs image good? To most people, she was definitely worthy of the word âperfect,â not to mention her looks, but her elegant demeanor alone sufficed. Without uttering a word, her sheer presence exuded an air of affluence.
If one didnât know about her decadent private life, everyone would think she was a daughter-in-law difficult to find even with a lantern.
Feng Jun didnât want his parents to face disappointment after harboring hopesâplot twists were fine on social media, even enjoyable to watch, but he absolutely couldnât tolerate them happening in his parentsâ lives.
His murderous intent was so undisguised that Zhou Xiaotong couldnât help but shudder, âI say, Master Feng, I was just trying to get on the good side of your parents. Youâre really thinking too much.â
Feng Jun lit a cigarette and spoke leisurely, âYou can joke, but Iâm not just talking⦠Actually, I really am not used to making threats.â
âI know, youâre used to taking action,â Zhou Xiaotong glanced at him, speaking somewhat cautiously, âJust like in Myanmar, killing is no issue for you⦠You donât really want to kill me, do you?â
Feng Jun took a deep drag on his cigarette, âWho knows? By the way⦠how did you find out about Myanmar?â
âAlright, no more jokes,â Zhou Xiaotong straightened her expression and spoke, âYour martial skills surprised me, so I inquired about you. Now, I want you to take on two apprentices.â
Feng Jun instinctively wanted to shake his head: Asking me to accept disciples, who do you think you are?
Yet, in the end, he changed his response, âAre you sure you can afford my salary?â
âIâm not sure,â Zhou Xiaotong shook her head, displaying not a shred of embarrassment, âbut you can tell me anyway.â
Feng Jun smiled faintly, âOne apprentice, ten million tons of TNT⦠I donât guarantee theyâll succeed.â
Of course, this was a lion opening its mouth wide, but if it were any lower than this standard, he truly wouldnât be interested in teaching.
According to the conditions he had previously set, one Body Tempering Pill was worth one hundred tons of ZHA explosivesâstrictly speaking, it was the right to purchase one hundred tons of ZHA explosives. So, did teaching a student require a thousand Body Tempering Pills? No, it didnât.
However, thatâs not how the calculations work. Once his Cultivation Technique and ideas spread out, how many people could be trained?
Zhou Xiaotong had wealth and power, the capacity to spread these things far and wide.
âA hundred thousand tons?â Zhou Xiaotong looked at him in astonishment, âYouâre not thinking of getting a nuclear bomb, are you?â
Feng Jun glanced at her with disdain, âYou canât even get a nuclear bomb, and you want to court me? Without the strength, donât bother collecting stamps.â
Weâre all adults here; itâs okay to speak the truth directly, no need to beat around the bush.
Zhou Xiaotong blinked and then paused, followed by a chuckle, âSo, youâve set the threshold on purpose?â
Feng Jun didnât pay attention to her words, but instead turned his head to glance at the villa, listening for Gaziâs criesâhad the pain lessened somewhat?
Zhou Xiaotong straightened her expression and spoke earnestly, âAlright, no more jokes, I want to get at least two Foundation Establishment Pills and two Body Tempering Pills from you⦠This is my bottom line, name your price.â
Feng Jun looked at her expressionlessly, the meaning in his eyes was clear: Tell me your bottom line? What does your bottom line have to do with me?
Zhou Xiaotong was also a strong-willed person, directly ignoring the message in his eyes, and continued on her own, âInitially, when I was in Beijing, I was just curious about the pills in your hand, and I wanted to collect someâ¦â
Sure enough, she was a woman with a collecting habit who didnât even think about what to do with the things she collected before acting on it, and she spoke about it as if she were completely justified, without a hint of embarrassment.
Feng Jun wasnât interested in making a statement; got something to say? Go right ahead, but when it comes to my matters, you donât get to call the shots.
âHowever, during the subsequent investigation, I found out that someone visited Yuan Zihao, and in that family, there was also a vegetative person whoâs been paralyzed for five yearsâ¦â
As she said this, she turned her head to glance at Feng Jun, âDonât you want to know who it is?â
Anyone who managed to find Yuan Zihaoâs door must be no ordinary person.
Feng Jun answered nonchalantly, âTo be honest, Iâm not the least bit interested in knowing. The world is full of vegetative patients, what I want to know is⦠how much longer do you plan to talk here?â
âYouâre really dull,â Zhou Xiaotong said with a thick skin, not caring about his hint to leave, âAccording to my analysis, the Yuan Family must have leaked your information, but I donât think they intend to get involved.â
Feng Jun nodded slightly, âAt least youâre smart.â
It would be completely normal for the Yuan Family to leak his information. In this information age, if someone really wanted to snoop around, there is nothing that canât be discovered. Even if the Yuan Family kept it a secret, people could simply check the mobile phone call records of the Yuan siblings and easily find him.
So, it didnât make much sense for the Yuan Family to hide his information. What was sensible was to refuse to get involved in this matter, showing that they knew their place.
Apparently, my assertiveness previously made a deep impression on the Yuan Family! Feng Jun thought to himself, it seemed that moving forward, he couldnât be too accommodating when taking action, or else it would easily attract more trouble.
Zhou Xiaotong continued to speak, âAfter learning this information, I started thinking, maybe I could ask you to treat this personâ¦â
âBut then I gave it some more thought, youâre too proud, it would be difficult to ask you to take action, so I stepped back and decided to buy the pills from you instead. I really do respect you, donât I?â
Feng Jun looked at her with a strange expression, âDonât talk about respect or disrespect, I just want you to give me one reason why you think I would agree to your request⦠Just one reason will do.â
Zhou Xiaotong smiled faintly and spoke softly, âLetâs not say those irritating words, do you know who I want you to treat?â
Feng Jun shook his head decisively, âI donât know, and Iâm not interested in finding out.â
âThatâs too much,â Zhou Xiaotong looked at him helplessly, âWe had agreed not to get upset!â
âIâm really not upset,â Feng Jun said indifferently, âMaybe youâre talking about some big shot, but⦠what does that have to do with me? I work hard, pay taxes by the book, and have no need to suck up to those big shots.â
Zhou Xiaotong was at a loss for words. Indeed, this man was not part of the system, and he was quite wealthy. As long as he didnât commit any crimes, even the biggest shot couldnât just dispose of him on a whim.
Moreover, this man knew real kung fu and wouldnât hesitate to kill when pushed to extremes. The incident in Myanmar had proved his ruthlessness.
In fact, if it were someone else, those hundreds of lives lost in Myanmar could have made for a good leverage, at least a decent point of blackmail, but Zhou Xiaotong didnât want to take that risk.
If the public doesnât raise it, officials wonât investigate it. Since Myanmar hadnât reacted and just sent people to retaliate within their borders, anyone who used that incident against Feng Jun would be making it personal.
This Feng Jun really wasnât easy to deal with.
