Ye Feng was unaware that at that very moment, in a hospital room in the city, a group of people were gathered, looking at something.
An old man sat in front of the room, continuously describing something, while a young man in front of him drew based on his descriptions.
After a while, the young man handed the drawing to the old man and asked, "Grandpa Yang, does the person I drew look like the one you're looking for?"
The old man took one look and immediately nodded, saying excitedly, "Yes, yes, it's him, it's him who saved me! Hurry and help me find this person, I want to thank him properly!"
If Ye Feng had seen this scene, he would have been greatly surprised, because the person in the drawing was him.
However, Ye Feng had already arrived in the city and was heading directly to Luo Yongjun's fish shop.
As soon as Ye Feng reached the entrance, he saw Luo Yongjun and Gao Fuxuan already waiting there.
"Master Ye Feng, you're finally here!" Luo Yongjun said hurriedly upon seeing him.
Gao Fuxuan stepped forward and shook Ye Feng's hand, saying, "Master Ye, I'm troubling you again! I'll treat you to a meal after this is settled!"
Ye Feng smiled and replied, "No need, treating a dragon fish is such a small matter! Besides, I've already received your payment!"
"No, no, no, this time it's more than just helping me treat the dragon fish!" Gao Fuxuan said gratefully.
Ye Feng asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"Well, it's a long story! You should look at the fish first. We can talk more over dinner!" Gao Fuxuan said, pulling Ye Feng along.
Ye Feng could only nod and followed them inside.
Upon reaching the bathtub and seeing the dragon fish, Ye Feng's eyes lit up, as it was truly beautiful.
More importantly, the dragon fish was completely recovered. It swam up and down in the tank, exuding an imposing aura, full of spirit, looking like a completely different fish from the last time he saw it.
Ye Feng picked it up and, channeling his Sea God's power, carefully examined it several times, confirming that the fish had indeed recovered.
"It's all better! This fish is completely fine!" Ye Feng said after placing the fish back into the tank.
Gao Fuxuan was overjoyed upon hearing this and exclaimed, "Then thank you so much, Master Ye Feng! Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal!"
Luo Yongjun had to look after the shop and had already eaten, so he declined. Only Ye Feng and Gao Fuxuan went to the restaurant.
On the way, Gao Fuxuan thanked Ye Feng repeatedly. The reason was that Ye Feng had told him last time that the red dragon had been tampered with, and he had immediately started investigating upon returning.
He hadn't realized the extent of the problem until he started investigating, and he was shocked.
It turned out that the dragon fish had indeed been tampered with by a subordinate he trusted implicitly.
Moreover, the half-price story was a lie. The dragon fish wasn't the one that cost 1.5 million yuan, but rather one worth only two to three hundred thousand yuan, with the difference pocketed by the subordinate.
"It's one thing for him to pocket your money, but why would he do something like this?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled.
Gao Fuxuan replied, "I was also very confused. After investigating, I discovered that he had been bribed by an old enemy of mine."
"Old enemy? What old enemy?" Ye Feng was even more confused.
Gao Fuxuan took a deep breath before slowly explaining, "It's a long story, something that happened over ten years ago. That person's name is Kang Wenbo..."
After a brief narration, Ye Feng learned some of Gao Fuxuan's past. It turned out that over a decade ago, he and a man named Kang Wenbo had started working at the same company.
Both men had fallen for a woman at their workplace, but she chose the more outstanding and handsome Gao Fuxuan. That's when Kang Wenbo began to harbor resentment.
Not long after, a managerial position became vacant due to a superior's retirement. When they competed for it, Gao Fuxuan, relying on his exceptional talent and work ability, won again.
After that, Kang Wenbo's endeavors repeatedly met with misfortune, and he blamed everything on Gao Fuxuan, believing that Gao Fuxuan had stolen his future and his woman.
After disappearing for many years, Kang Wenbo suddenly reappeared as a major real estate tycoon and frequently caused trouble for him.
"A while ago, I was nominated for the position of mayor. I suspect that fellow couldn't stand to see me do well and wanted to cause trouble!" Gao Fuxuan explained.
"Hmm? The position of mayor?" Ye Feng's entire body trembled upon hearing this, and he seemed to recall something.
"What's wrong?" Gao Fuxuan asked.
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Oh, I just remembered, in two days it will be Mayor Yang's retirement, and also his sixtieth birthday!"
This statement surprised Gao Fuxuan. "Oh? I didn't expect you to care about this matter too!"
"Haha! I know a little!" Ye Feng replied.
Gao Fuxuan didn't pay much attention to this, as Mayor Yang's retirement and his age were public knowledge, and anyone who paid a little attention would know.
As they chatted, they arrived at the Dragon King Hall, which left Ye Feng speechless.
He had been wondering where Gao Fuxuan was taking him to eat, but it turned out to be the Dragon King Hall after all.
Ye Feng didn't say anything. They entered the first floor, found a place to sit, and began ordering food.
Meanwhile, outside the Dragon King Hall, two men were walking towards it, talking as they went.
"You useless idiot, what happened? You couldn't even handle the first task, and now you've been transferred!" an angry bald man wearing glasses said.
Beside him, a short and stout man spread his hands and replied, "Boss Kang Wenbo, how can you blame me for this?"
"Why shouldn't I blame you? Didn't I tell you to do it more discreetly?" the man called Kang Wenbo berated.
"I already did it as discreetly as possible!" the short and stout man said helplessly.
Kang Wenbo snorted, "If you had done it discreetly enough, how would he have discovered it?"
"It's really not my fault. Our plan was perfect! But we didn't expect him to take the dragon fish for treatment and then meet a guy named Ye Feng. Not only did Ye Feng save the dragon fish, but he also said something to him! After that guy returned, he transferred me." the short and stout man explained.
The bald man was furious upon hearing this. As he walked, he said, "This is going to be difficult! Although he didn't state it directly, he must know that you tampered with it! It seems I can't rely on you for help anymore!"
The short and stout man nodded and said, "Alright! By the way, why do you hate Gao Fuxuan so much? Where did he offend you?"
"He stole my lover, he stole my future, I'll never let him have an easy life..."
Thus, the two entered the first floor of the Dragon King Hall, found a random spot, and sat down, coincidentally next to Ye Feng and the others.
Gao Fuxuan noticed the arrival of people nearby and subconsciously looked up. The next second, he froze.
The two men also saw Gao Fuxuan. They stared intently at each other without speaking, causing the atmosphere to become extremely tense.
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you staring at them?"
"What a coincidence, fate brings enemies together! They are the people I was just telling you about! I only suspected it before, but now I'm even more certain that they are definitely colluding!" Gao Fuxuan said, frowning and suppressing his anger.
Ye Feng was startled and turned to look at the two men, saying, "What? You're talking about these two?"
