Chapter 622: Chapter 622 Zhu Dong’s Sentiment

Officer Xiao Tian was a bit offbeat, but during her time accompanying Feng Jun and Yang Yuxin on their outing, she also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that someone had been asking about the two of them.

As for who had been seeking her out, she didn’t make it clear, appearing to be a bit deliberately mysterious, with her face practically screaming “Come and ask me.”

How smart was Yang Yuxin? She glanced at Feng Jun and noticed that he was nonchalantly taking pictures of the streets with his mobile phone, clearly uninterested in even asking.

Around noon, Yang Yuxin’s uncle called, asking when she would return to the vacation resort.

Director Yang simply replied that she was out enjoying her time with friends and did not know when she would be back.

They played until after four in the afternoon before heading back to the resort, planning to rest a bit before strolling around the resort again.

At the entrance to the villa, Director Yang’s uncle and Zhu Yuefu were sitting in the car, waiting for their return with blatant impatience.

There was no avoiding it now; as the villa’s door opened, these two shamelessly followed them inside.

Today’s temperature in Jin City was unusually high. In late December, it had reached seventeen or eighteen degrees, basking everything in a warm, sunny glow.

Feng Jun and Yang Yuxin had bought quite a few things, their arms full of large and small bags, which they put away before introducing themselves to their two visitors.

Feng Jun glanced at Zhu Yuefu, noticing his short stature, dark skin, and decent looks, albeit with a mouth full of yellow teeth.

He sat on the sofa, legs crossed, not beating around the bush and asked directly, “Are you here to see me?”

“Yes,” Zhu Yuefu said with a smile and a nod, “I’ve heard a lot about President Feng, and I think… we may have some misunderstandings.”

Feng Jun appeared unimpressed and continued to browse his phone as he asked, “Oh, what misunderstanding?”

“Um…” Hesitant, Zhu Yuefu looked around warily before proceeding cautiously, “Can we talk somewhere else?”

“Change locations? Sure, we were just about to go out and enjoy the sun,” Feng Jun said offhandedly, “But first, could you take care of those bits and pieces in your jacket pockets and back pockets?”

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuxin’s face changed instantly, “Ninth Uncle, would you mind explaining to your friend what my rank is?”

Xiao Tian was quick to respond, stepping forward and speaking coldly, “Hand over your recording device. Some conversations are not meant to be recorded simply because you wish to do so!”

Zhu Yuefu was taken aback and obediently handed over a recording pen and then pulled a bunch of keys from his back pocket.

He was greatly shocked inside. A recording pen was understandable, but how did you notice this bunch of keys?

Even if you’re the Great Cultivator from the legends, shouldn’t you still be unfamiliar with electronic devices?

Xiao Tian looked at the keys and frowned, “This is… a signal relay?”

Zhu Yuefu received another shock, thinking the device was something he had managed to get with great difficulty, and you recognized it?

Xiao Tian opened a canister from a metal tin box and nonchalantly tossed the keys in before closing the lid, speaking lightly, “Such devices are already in violation of the ‘Counter-Espionage Law.’ You’d better explain where it came from.”

Zhu Yuefu hesitated before replying with a bitter smile, “I bought it when I went to Lu Island, out of curiosity.”

Xiao Tian didn’t speak any further, it was evident she was still deeply suspicious.

Then everyone stepped out to bask in the sun, a rarity for Jin City in December with this kind of weather.

Unintentionally, Yang Yuxin and her uncle ended up walking together, while Feng Jun and Zhu Yuefu were paired up, and Xiao Tian followed at a distance.

At a pavilion, Feng Jun sat down on the stone steps, taking out a cigarette to light it, and basked in the sun contentedly.

Zhu Yuefu sat beside him, pulling out an electronic cigarette case, inserted a cigarette, took two puffs, and then said, “Master Feng, please don’t be upset with me. I was forced into this.”

Feng Jun gave him a sideways glance, “That’s odd; who’s forcing you?”

Zhu Yuefu took a couple more drags before letting out a sigh, “Did you know? Before I was ten, I never wore shoes… just strapped some grass onto my feet to make sandals.”

“Grass sandals are fine, they’re green and pollution-free,” Feng Jun replied earnestly, “If you spent your life wearing grass sandals, that would be perfect… good for you and good for society.”

If you talk like that, you’re likely to get beaten up, you know? Right now, Zhu Yuefu felt like giving Feng Jun a good thrashing.

But that was just a thought, for regardless of whether the other party was a Great Cultivator or not, simply by age and stature, he knew he was no match.

So, he could only clear his throat and continue, “I come from a poor background, and it hasn’t been easy getting to where I am today, with a lot of hard work…”

“Nobody’s had it easy,” Feng Jun interrupted impatiently, “We’re here to talk business, not to appear on some variety show and sell a sob story… I never wore your homemade sandals anyway.”

“But you took my equipment, that’s a fact, isn’t it?” Zhu Yuefu looked at him cautiously.

He did not want to provoke the other party, so he said “take the equipment,” instead of stealing the equipment.

Feng Jun just smiled indifferently, clearly uninterested in defending himself, and took a light drag of his cigarette.

Seeing that he didn’t object, Zhu Yuefu felt somewhat reassured, “Of course, I also behaved disrespectfully towards Luohua Manor before, but those pieces of equipment of mine… just the ones lost from the cosmetic surgery hospital, they’re worth over thirty million.”

“Ha-ha,” Feng Jun laughed, “Thirty million, how many straw sandals could that buy?”

Facing this obvious mockery, Zhu Yuefu spoke seriously, “I’m not joking, this price is verifiable!”

Actually, this price was clearly inflated, and even when he reported it to the police, he had only claimed over twenty million, which had quite a bit of fluff.

But when it came to medical equipment, there were too many underhanded deals involved, which simply couldn’t be fully accounted for.

There was no way to discuss the price, nor was it up for discussion; regardless of whether others believed it or not, Zhu Yuefu did, “You’ve really been harsh.”

Feng Jun’s eyebrows furrowed and he took another drag of his cigarette, then spoke with impunity, “I don’t think I was harsh. It’s just over thirty million after all. Do you know? I have a small building made of jade in Luohua Manor, with over a dozen rooms… Guess how much it’s worth?”

Zhu Yuefu didn’t want to digress, but upon hearing this, he was still stunned, “A building made of… jade?”

“Correct, entirely built of jade, and it’s Mutton Fat White Jade,” Feng Jun took a drag of his cigarette and spoke leisurely, “Even if it’s not old jade, a gram can cost tens of thousands, and I used several hundred tons. How much do you think this house is worth?”

Several hundred tons equated to several billion grams, and Zhu Yuefu quickly ran the numbers in his mind, chuckling bitterly, “Wouldn’t that be worth several trillion? But you can’t really calculate it like that, can you?”

Of course, it couldn’t be calculated like that, and Feng Jun knew it too. Nevertheless, he glanced sideways at the other man, “Did I question the price of your equipment?”

There’s just no way to have a conversation with you, Zhu Yuefu sighed inwardly, “Alright, I was completely unaware of the jade building, and I can imagine it’s unique in this world.”

Feng Jun nodded, not denying it, then took another drag, “What if I told you that the items those surnamed Qian wanted to steal are worth more than the jade building… would you believe me?”

So those two were caught by you after all! Zhu Yuefu felt a shiver down his spine and cold sweat broke out instantly.

He had suspected that the Qians had been caught by the Zhengyang People, but now having his suspicions confirmed by the other party, his heart couldn’t help but pound erratically.

He asked with forced calm, “How are they now?”

“Heh heh,” Feng Jun chuckled, not responding, but just giving him a scornful look, conveying an unspoken message in that gaze—Are you even worthy of asking me?

Zhu Yuefu, seeing that he got no response, didn’t dare to ask further and spoke in a heavy tone, “I’m a lay Buddhist who observes the rituals, and when I heard that Qingcheng was unhappy with you, I just offered some hardship money. I did not incite them to steal anything.”

“Heh heh,” Feng Jun laughed dismissively again, “What’s the point of telling me this? You aim to seize the opportunity of Luohua Manor… You claim to follow the Buddhist path, do you even know what ‘opportunity’ means?”

“I didn’t know they wanted to seize the opportunity of Luohua Manor,” Zhu Yuefu shook his head, denying it outright, “I just heard they wanted to vent for Qingcheng… The specifics, perhaps Shen Guangming knows better.”

“You don’t know?” Feng Jun looked at him with a mocking smile, “Shall I take you to confront them?”

The two of them were already buried in the mobile phone plane; there was no possibility of confronting them, but the other party didn’t know that.

In fact, Zhu Yuefu’s heart was always pounding; he was very skeptical about the life and death of those two individuals—In a society governed by law, murder demands a life in return, but in some secluded circles, there are their own rules.

Being a follower of the Buddhist path himself, he knew that these circles didn’t regard secular laws highly, there were especially many strange people and events, and someone disappearing might not even compel the police to go looking.

Without any news, they might have gone into seclusion or taken up ascetic practices; if calls to a mobile phone went unanswered, maybe the person was practicing silent meditation…

There were too many oddities, and matters of Buddhism and Taoism involved supernatural legends. Unless absolutely necessary, the police didn’t want to meddle.

Zhu Yuefu, hearing that the two were still alive, felt somewhat relieved, but he would not agree to a confrontation.

He shook his head, “I’m very sorry, but I have many matters to attend to and cannot leave Jin City right now.”

To confront those from Zhengyang with you… Do I look that foolish?

In fact, he was very clear about what those two had intended to do in Zhengyang, but at that moment, he was determined not to admit it.

“I know you dare not confront them,” Feng Jun spoke indifferently, not even looking at him, “You incited others first, stealing such valuable things from me, and now you’re saying I’m pressuring you… For such a grown man, is it so hard to have some shame?”

Zhu Yuefu was rendered speechless, and it took a moment before he could say, “But didn’t they fail to get their hands on it?”

Even the law distinguishes between attempted and completed crimes, right?

Feng Jun looked at him coldly, “Failing to succeed still comes with a price, and let me tell you, if they had succeeded, I wouldn’t mind performing a bloody cleansing of Mount Qingcheng…”
