"Dad, how are you going to take action? Still hiring the Demon Moon Alliance to send assassins to kill that Jiang Feng?"
Shi Lang also didn't sleep all night. Shi Guanlin was worried all night, and so was he.
"Bullshit! Someone whom even professional assassins can't kill, can I still keep such an enemy? To avoid long dreams at night, I've decided to make peace with him!"
"Pfft!"
Shi Lang, who had just taken a sip of his morning tea, spat out the water in disbelief, staring at his dad: "M-make peace?"
"Nonsense! Whether it's for you or Mu Yanluo, I don't want to mess with such an enemy anymore. I was momentarily blinded by you guys, but last night's incident made me see clearly. If I keep opposing him, Mr. Scar and the Han Family might be my end." Shi Guanlin didn't sleep last night either and made this decision after much deliberation.
Although doing so might make him lose face and even miss a chance for Mu Yanluo to look up to him, so what? His family business is huge, and he cannot afford any slip-ups. He wants to turn enemies into friends with Jiang Feng not because of a guilty conscience, but because he values his life!
"Dad, are you really mistaken? He humiliated your son, and you're just admitting defeat like this?" Shi Lang said angrily.
"If you are capable, you go remove him!" Shi Guanlin said plainly, "This is about the bigger picture. It hasn't been easy for the Shi Family to develop to where it is today, and I cannot provoke such a terrifying enemy!"
"You!" Shi Lang was almost faint with anger; "If you're scared, just say so, stop making excuses!"
At this moment, he was really disappointed in his father. The Ship King should be omnipotent in his eyes, and now he was scared by a nobody, really humiliating!
But he forgot one thing, Shi Guanlin was never involved in the underworld, he is a businessman. Businessmen are characterized by cunning and shamelessness. They pursue profits and cherish life, far less fierce than the underworld bosses who fight to the death.
"Give me the phone!" Shi Guanlin said to his chief bodyguard.
The chief bodyguard standing at the door immediately handed over the phone. Shi Guanlin found a rarely dialed number from it, hesitated a bit, then dialed it.
On the other end, Zhu Ge Yuheng had also just gotten up in his villa.
Suddenly receiving a call from Shi Guanlin, he was a bit puzzled!
This famous figure from North City suddenly called him, what's the reason?
Due to Shi Guanlin's close relationship with Mr. Scar, Shi Guanlin is considered an enemy of the Chu Family, and the relationship between the two sides had always been sensitive. Zhu Ge Yuheng didn't think the other party was calling him for anything good!
"Mr. Shi, a rare event, you actually called me?" Zhu Ge Yuheng said with a cold laugh.
"Zhu Ge Yuheng, I'm not talking nonsense with you. At noon, I'll set up a meeting. Help me contact Jiang Feng and come with him to see me. I have something to discuss with him." Shi Guanlin said in an unquestionable tone.
"Mr. Shi, are you still dreaming? Are we that familiar?" Zhu Ge Yuheng found it somewhat amusing, the other party really put on airs directly ordering him, but judging by what he said, he seems to have offended Jiang Feng?
"Zhu Ge Yuheng, no need to play dumb with me. As long as you help me accomplish this, our past grievances are written off, and from now on, South City and North City break the ice." Shi Guanlin said lightly.
Zhu Ge Yuheng sneered, "Shi Guanlin, your brain has holes, if you offended Mr. Jiang, then you are an enemy of the Chu Family, still hoping I'd mediate for you? Besides, Mr. Jiang can represent South City now, while you have no qualification to represent North City!"
"Shi Guanlin! Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. What do your Chu Family amount to in my eyes? I'm asking you to do something because I think highly of you, don't be ungrateful!" Shi Guanlin shouted angrily.
In the past, when Chu Renxiong was alive, and the Chu Family was at its peak, perhaps Shi Guanlin would consider his words before speaking with Zhu Ge Yuheng, but now the Chu Family is already an empty shell, only one of the seven big shots remains. Chu Renxiong himself died tragically at White Ridge, and he heard Zhu Ge Yuheng is currently busy propping up a young girl, Chu Feifei, to take power, what qualification does he have to be on par with him?
"Shi Guanlin, it's you who don't know what's good for you! You've seen the consequences of offending Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Scar is yet to be caught. You better pray you don't die before Mr. Scar does!"
After saying so, Zhu Ge Yuheng directly hung up the phone.
"Hello, hello? Damn it!!" Shi Guanlin listened to the disconnected tone and in a fit of anger, smashed the phone.
At this moment he regretted his attitude earlier, but he's used to being strong-willed and couldn't change it suddenly.
"Dad, what did Zhu Ge Yuheng say?" Although Shi Lang was furious about his father's concession, seeing his father seemed to have met a setback, he couldn't help but ask.
"Screw your mother, get lost!" Shi Guanlin yelled, furious.
Shi Lang looked even more aggrieved, his father took out his anger on him after being humiliated elsewhere, treating him like a punching bag?
At this moment, Shi Lang coldly snorted in anger and turned to leave.
Shi Guanlin thought over and over, finally asking his subordinates for another phone and dialing Zhou Rongfa's number.
The request was the same as before, also asking Zhou Rongfa to help make the connection, and have Jiang Feng come for a meeting at noon.
Of course, after taking a lesson, he improved his attitude towards Zhou Rongfa a lot: "Zhou Rongfa, as long as you help me accomplish this, our little business frictions before will not matter, I'll even compensate you more, understand what I mean?"
"Mr. Shi, I will try to help with this matter, but to what extent it can be accomplished, I can't promise. Mr. Jiang's will is not something I can sway, wait for my news." Zhou Rongfa said calmly and then hung up the phone.
"Hmph, a bottom-tier garbage, relying on a bit of combat power, putting on airs! Damn Boss Zhou, it benefits you!"
That being said, Shi Guanlin still dared not sleep, but patiently paced in the living room, waiting for news.
...
Southern City Ruijing New City, Zhu Ge Yuheng's residence.
After putting down the phone, Zhu Ge Yuheng pondered whether to ask Jiang Feng about the situation. If necessary, the entire Chu Family would not hesitate!
Just then, Gu Hong hurriedly walked into the villa, respectfully saying to Zhu Ge Yuheng: "Second Young Master, we found someone suspected to be Mr. Scar."
"Suspected?" Zhu Ge Yuheng frowned.
These days, after Jiang Feng and Chu Feifei returned safely, Zhu Ge Yuheng had been focusing on two things.
Firstly, supporting Chu Feifei to take power, of course, not meaning to take over South City's underworld; she is young and a kind girl, not suited for this. Zhu Ge Yuheng just let her inherit Chu Renxiong's assets and shares and naturally take over as the new chairman of the group.
Secondly, Zhu Ge Yuheng sent people to search the city for Mr. Scar's whereabouts!
As one of the culprits behind the plot against Jiang Feng and Chu Renxiong, Mr. Scar wanting to escape justice is absolutely impossible!
Although the city's action departments are also trying to capture him, Mr. Scar has been careful enough to not expose himself, making it hard for them to catch him.
However, sometimes what the action departments can't achieve, the underworld can. They have a wider network of personnel and a broader source of information.
"The men just found him near a shantytown in North City, back view looks like him, but he's cautious, and we lost him again." Gu Hong, being noticeably supportive, faithfully protecting Chu Feifei, has now been promoted by Zhu Ge Yuheng as the new big boss, assisting him in managing the underworld.
"Dispatch more people, even if you have to turn that area upside down, find him for me!" Zhu Ge Yuheng said coldly.
"Yes!" Gu Hong said, turning to leave.
