“Young man, to be frank, it’s not just me who wants the Fang family to fall. Everyone in Shancheng wants them gone. Their shadow has covered Shancheng for too long. We need to see some sunlight, otherwise, Shancheng will be completely ruined.”
Boss Li became more animated as he spoke.
“Boss Li, there are no outsiders here, so I’ll be straight with you. I’m from out of town, and I’ve come this time specifically to investigate the Fang family’s criminal evidence. Once the evidence is solid, I can have the big players in the capital send a task force to bring down the Fang family. The priority now is the lack of sufficient evidence…”
Chen Feng stated his purpose directly.
“Young man, you’re not deceiving me, are you? You’re so young, do you really have connections in the capital’s power circles?”
Boss Li asked, his tone laced with disbelief.
China's political arena, especially the capital's power circles, represented the highest echelon.
The young man before him was still too young.
To put it this way, the Fang family in Shancheng was arrogant enough, but even so, they had no connections in the capital.
The Fang family’s arrogance stemmed mainly from their connections in the provincial capital.
Rumor had it that someone from the Fang family was the secretary to a high-ranking official in the provincial capital.
“Boss Li, you have to trust me. I’m not an idiot. If I didn’t have absolute confidence, would I come to Shancheng to provoke the Fang family?”
Chen Feng retorted.
Boss Li considered this and realized it was true.
“Young man, if you truly have connections in the capital’s political circles, I can provide evidence. Over the years, the Fang family has extorted a lot of money from Sanshui Agricultural Company, and there’s proof of that.”
Boss Li replied with excitement.
“It’s not enough.”
Chen Feng said calmly.
“The evidence is quite sufficient. Why isn’t it enough?”
Boss Li asked, puzzled.
“If it were an ordinary criminal organization, the evidence provided by Sanshui Agricultural Company would definitely suffice. But is the Fang family an ordinary criminal organization? They’ve almost completely blocked out the sky over Shancheng. For such a massive criminal syndicate, the evidence from just one company is far from enough.”
Chen Feng replied earnestly.
“Young man, hearing you say that, it does seem to be the case. In Shancheng, the Fang family is like the local emperor. To bring down a local emperor isn't an easy task at all.”
Boss Li sighed.
“That’s why I’ve infiltrated the Fang family, precisely to find sufficient evidence. However, since I’m not a local of Shancheng, I’m unaware of many internal details. Therefore, I’d like to ask for Boss Li’s help. Tell me, how should I investigate to uncover most of the Fang family’s criminal evidence?”
Chen Feng asked sincerely.
“Young man, to be perfectly honest, your direction of investigation is wrong.”
Boss Li stated directly.
“What do you mean?”
Chen Feng was taken aback.
“The debts of Sanshui Agricultural Company are managed by Fang Fang. However, Fang Fang is only a minor player in the Fang family. The real big shot is Fang Fang’s brother, Fang Tong. Only by getting close to Fang Tong can you have a chance to understand the Fang family’s entire criminal process more deeply.”
Boss Li explained earnestly.
“Boss Li, with what you’ve said, I have a clearer picture. Don’t worry, it won’t be long before the Fang family crumbles. And then, the people of Shancheng will live good lives.”
Chen Feng encouraged Boss Li.
“Young man, there are some things I don’t know if I should say.”
Boss Li looked at Chen Feng’s excitement and swallowed the words he was about to speak.
“Boss Li, we share a common enemy, the Fang family. Please say whatever you need to say.”
“It’s like this, you’re actually not the first person to try and bring down the Fang family. Before, many righteous individuals came to Shancheng prepared to take them down, but in the end, they were all killed by the Fang family. Not to mention distant history, just recently, the top official of Shancheng wanted to bring down the Fang family. As a result, he was framed and thrown into prison by the Fang family in a single swoop, and his fate is unknown to this day. Think about it, if the dignified top official of Shancheng can’t match the Fang family, can you, so young, even with capital connections, handle it? You’re a good person, and I don’t want to see you end up in prison.”
Boss Li spoke earnestly.
“Rest assured about that. My connections are even stronger than the Shancheng top official’s. Alright, I’m returning to the Fang family now. You continue to manage Sanshui Agricultural Company well and serve the farmers of Shancheng diligently.”
Chen Feng said calmly.
“Young man, you haven’t collected the debt yet. Will Fang Fang trust you? If Fang Fang doesn’t trust you, Fang Tong certainly won’t. How about this, I’ll lend you a million yuan to take back. As long as it helps bring down the Fang family, I’m more than willing to lend the money.”
Boss Li said excitedly.
“Boss Li, your intention is enough. I have a million yuan.”
Chen Feng said with a smile.
“What? You have a million yuan?”
Boss Li was stunned.
Chen Feng was young, looking no older than a few years out of university. How could he have a million yuan readily available at such a young age?
“Boss Li, as I said, I have connections in the capital. Think about it, with any sort of capital connections, I can make a lot of money. So, a million yuan is really not a problem for me. You don’t need to worry about me at all.”
Chen Feng reassured Boss Li.
Hearing this, Boss Li felt it made sense and said no more.
Chen Feng didn’t dally and immediately returned to Fang Fang.
“Have you collected the debt?”
Fang Fang asked directly.
Chen Feng wasted no time and transferred one million yuan to Fang Fang.
“Oh, I truly underestimated you. You actually managed to collect such a difficult debt.”
Fang Fang exclaimed excitedly.
“There’s over a thousand yuan in commission. No matter what method I use, I was determined to collect the debt.”
Chen Feng deliberately put on a greedy expression.
“I like your money-grubbing nature. The Fang family likes people like you. Here, this is fifteen hundred. Count it.”
With that, Fang Fang handed Chen Feng fifteen hundred yuan in cash.
Chen Feng, feigning excitement, pocketed the fifteen hundred.
“Miss Fang, to be honest, I’m addicted to making money now. Are there any other ways to earn big money?”
Chen Feng asked deliberately.
“Of course, there are, but I don’t have any opportunities here at the moment. My brother does.”
Miss Fang said with a smile.
“Miss Fang, how about this? I’ll continue driving for you, and at the same time, I’ll go see my brother to see if there are any opportunities to make big money. I want to make good use of my time at the Fang family to save up for a wife.”
Chen Feng said with a serious demeanor.
“Of course, that’s perfectly fine! The Fang family needs talented people like you to develop. However, I must warn you beforehand, my brother is different from me. I’m just ordinarily bad, but my brother is notoriously insidious and ruthless. Think carefully before you decide.”
Miss Fang was intentionally testing Chen Feng.
“Miss Fang, I’m not afraid of insidious and ruthless. I’m afraid of being poor. As long as I can make money, I’m willing to do anything.”
Chen Feng replied with feigned urgency.
“With your mindset, I’m at ease. How about this, tonight I’ll arrange for you to meet my brother. You can discuss the specifics directly with him.”
Miss Fang said with a smile.
Thus, arranged by Miss Fang, Chen Feng met Fang Tong in a hotel room.
Fang Tong did not come alone; he brought along a woman who was strikingly seductive…
