Thus, Lu Feng's objective became clear.
The plan was to find a way to infiltrate Jiu Cui Technology and uncover any clues left behind by Liao Heyun.
As for the Dong family, Lu Feng had no intention of getting further involved.
Although Dong Ye's sudden tears had surprised him, stirring a flicker of curiosity about his own origins, this faint curiosity was insufficient to alter the fact that his relationship with the Dong family had already fractured.
Lu Feng crossed to the south side of a main road and soon arrived at a fast-food restaurant.
He casually ordered a meal and began to eat.
It was unrealistic to expect good food at the Dong family's residence.
Besides, eating wasn't his primary purpose.
A simple fast-food meal was highly effective for someone in a state of hunger.
Before long, Lu Feng felt his mind sharpen considerably.
Borrowing a pen, he quickly made some calculations on a cardboard surface, and his previously muddled thoughts began to clear.
"What is that guy doing?"
"He wouldn't happen to be crazy, would he?"
The people sitting at tables not far away noticed Lu Feng's unusual actions and immediately cast glances of astonishment and apprehension his way.
People are often superficial, only grasping part of the truth.
Ignoring their strange looks, having found a breakthrough, Lu Feng quickly left the fast-food restaurant and returned to his own place. After a brief preparation, he headed straight for Jiu Cui Technology once more.
"Hey, what exactly are you here for?"
Even with poor eyesight, the security guard at Jiu Cui Technology could tell.
"You've been here two or three times already. Is there something you need?"
As he spoke, he quickly approached Lu Feng.
Noticing the guard, Lu Feng deliberately avoided his gaze: "B-big brother, is this Jiu Cui Technology?"
"Yes," the guard replied, taken aback.
The sign was clearly visible; did he not know how to read?
A hint of disdain appeared in his eyes: "Yes, why? Are you here to cause trouble?"
Seeing this, Lu Feng quickly continued, "No, no, I'm here looking for work."
In this day and age, who comes looking for work like this?
The guard was stunned again.
He sized up the young man before him, and his mind was suddenly illuminated by a clear ray of sunshine, leading to a moment of sudden clarity.
"You're from the countryside, aren't you? What's wrong? Don't you have any relatives in Southeast City?"
"No, I haven't found any yet."
"You came to stay with relatives, ran out of money, and now you're looking for a job."
Lu Feng nodded vigorously.
Hearing this, the guard's lips curled: "Then you're lucky to have found me. If it were someone else, it might not be so easy. Who knows, the company's boss is my uncle. How about this, you can watch the place for me. Fifty per shift, how does that sound? It's okay? Anyway, someone just left the night shift yesterday."
Fifty was an outrageous rip-off.
He guessed the man had also borrowed quite a bit of money.
However, Lu Feng didn't care at this moment; his purpose here wasn't for a few hundred yuan.
Before the guard could finish, he quickly said, "Brother, can it be a little more?"
"You think it's too little? If you don't like it, don't do it."
"Brother, please, I know you're a good person."
Lu Feng reached out to grab the guard.
"What are you doing? Let go!" Noticing a pair of dirty hands, the man immediately dodged as if avoiding a plague.
"How about this, I'll add thirty extra for you. No more than that."
"Thank you, brother."
The guard pointed to a uniform nearby: "Alright, you can start now. You'll be on the day shift, and I'll take the night. I'll train you for a few days, and then it's up to you, okay?"
"Okay."
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Lu," he was about to blurt out his name, but quickly changed his mind: "Lu, Lu San."
The guard shook his head and chuckled: "Someone named that? How strange."
"Alright, change your clothes and come with me."
"Okay."
Lu Feng went to the locker room, changed his clothes, and immediately followed the man, wandering around the first floor.
Meanwhile, on Dong Hua's end.
A call was made from his end to Liao Heyun.
"Yun Zong, I have a piece of information for you."
Upon hearing Dong Hua's voice, the other man quickly pricked up his ears and asked.
"Speak."
"Yun Zong, Lu Feng came to my Dong family just now and asked about a place called Jiu Cui Technology."
"What?" Hearing this, Liao Heyun's jaw nearly hit his feet.
He hadn't expected that after all his efforts to manipulate the stock market, creating layers of shell companies like Russian nesting dolls, he would still be discovered.
His expression and tone instantly became serious.
"What did that kid say?"
Dong Hua spoke truthfully: "The kid only said he discovered this group manipulating the Lin family's stock market. I estimate he's probing for information about Jiu Cui Technology, and I think he wants to use it as a breakthrough point."
Hearing this, the tension that had been on Liao Heyun's face seemed to dissipate like a gentle breeze.
"That's good, then. Alright, I understand. I'll pass down the word to strictly guard everyone entering and exiting Jiu Cui Technology during this period."
Although there was still a distance between himself and the actual controller of Jiu Cui Technology,
This kid, having been able to save the Lin family from imminent collapse, proved he had some capabilities.
Now that he had found Jiu Cui Technology, if Liao Heyun didn't take precautions, he might indeed find himself in trouble.
Even if he did find him, the kid wouldn't be able to do much to him in a short period, but after all, he owed the kid his life.
If the kid was pushed into a corner, Liao Heyun would be in a difficult situation.
Dong Hua had no intention of hanging up the phone: "Yun Zong, do you have any instructions for my end?"
Liao Heyun's voice was calm: "I have no specific instructions, only this: you need to finalize your matters quickly. Time is running out, and this Lu Feng must be eliminated as soon as possible. Therefore, you must ascend rapidly before then. The day after tomorrow, your mother will go to Bixian Villa to meet with clients. I have already made the arrangements for the clients. Rest assured, after the meeting at Bixian Villa, I hope to see a brand new Dong family."
"Understood. I'll take your good wishes, Yun Zong."
After hanging up, Liao Heyun immediately made a call to Jiu Cui Technology.
"Listen carefully, recently, keep a close eye on everyone who visits your place, especially those from the Lin family. If you see any, report to me immediately, understand?"
"Understood, Yun Zong. But, Yun Zong, what exactly is going on?"
Liao Heyun had no pleasant tone for this person: "You don't need to know. With your brain, I don't think you'd understand. Remember, my livelihood isn't so easy to come by. You've been eating it for so many years, do you understand?"
"Understood, understood. I'll report immediately if I see anyone from the Lin family."
"Mm."
"This time, Lu Feng, you probably have no way out!"
Liao Heyun slowly stood up, walked to a floor-to-ceiling window, and gazed at the dazzling night scenery outside, murmuring softly.
