After the divorce, I started to transfer

Upon hearing Zhao Jinfu's words, Zhao Xingrong was dumbfounded.

“Arong, this trip to Luzon concerns the rise and fall of our entire family for the next few decades. I’ve already told you this before, so even if there’s real danger, you have to go. I built our family business through countless risks and battles. Now I’m old, and I need you to carry on. I’m not sending you to your death, just taking some risks, and those risks are completely manageable. I don’t believe Abu Ye is that ruthless. Besides, I’ve increased your security personnel to 30, and they’re all fully armed, plus local police protection. As long as you minimize going out once you get there, I can’t imagine them harming you. So, don’t worry, be brave, be a man.”

Zhao Xingrong was speechless after hearing his uncle's words. He wanted to repeat what Chen Feng had just told him, but he opened his mouth and then remained silent.

My uncle is still the same old stubborn man. Once he's made a decision, and it seems like the itinerary really can't be changed, it's very difficult to change it.

Even though his family treated him like their own son, they never spoiled him too much.

Zhao Xingrong still believed in Chen Feng. After all, Chen Feng did have special abilities, and Chen Feng had been so serious just now that he couldn't help but believe him.

Therefore, Zhao Xingrong still wanted to try, so he said to Zhao Jinfu, "Do I really have to go today? How about we postpone it for a day or two? Anyway, the signing of the letter of intent is in two days. Or, in these two days, you can ask Brother Peng and your old friend to help smooth things over with Abuye, or find a way to join forces with the Red Scorpion to give Abuye a good beating, so that they are too busy to take care of themselves and won't come back to retaliate against me."

"No way," Zhao Jinfu refused outright. "The private jet has already been booked for you, and Luzon has made all the necessary preparations to welcome you, including the local government officials. Changing the date at the last minute will give them a very bad impression. Besides, where do you find two days? The contract signing is the day after tomorrow morning. You go there in the afternoon, rest for the night, and tomorrow you need to make arrangements with the local government officials in advance. You should also visit two of them in person, accompanied by Xiao Li (the negotiating representative), and bring them some local specialties. So, there is simply no extra time."

"Don't worry, I'll have Xiao Li, Xiao Chen, and my brother Lao Jia contact the local sheriff in Zamboanga later through a middleman. They can put pressure on Abu Ye and warn them so they won't dare to do anything rash to you. As long as you get through these few days and return safely, that's fine. Later, we'll slowly figure out how to eradicate Abu Ye completely. Otherwise, it'll be like trying to kill a snake and getting hurt in return. We've already made enemies with both sides, and we have to eliminate them to feel at ease. Besides, your concerns aren't unfounded. For safety's sake, go back to China immediately after signing this letter of intent. Let Xiao Li and Xiao Chen handle the public relations. You can go over when the formal contract is signed."

As a business tycoon who made his fortune in Southeast Asia and Luzon decades ago, Zhao Jinfu naturally possessed some ruthless methods.

After paying someone to kill the two moles in the local mining management department in Luzon, he had actually been harboring the idea of ​​settling scores with Abuye later.

Even though the Abuye gang suffered heavy losses in a previous attack by a rival gang, its power remains enormous. In addition, its core members were former armed members of local insurgent organizations, meaning they have actually fought in wars and carried out terrorist attacks.

Zhao Jinfu didn't have the strength, energy, or money to confront the other party head-on at the moment. He was just thinking that once he got the mine and his family started making money, he would slowly figure out how to deal with Abu Ye.

But now, after hearing his nephew's words, he realized that Abuye was a vengeful criminal gang with no morals whatsoever. Even if he, as the victim, didn't seek revenge for the time being, the gang would clearly not let his family off the hook.

If they stay in their own country, no matter how powerful the Abu Ye gang is, they can't come to retaliate. But if they go to their country, especially to the mine near their stronghold in Zamboanga, then they will definitely cause trouble for their family, including another kidnapping, or even assassination as their nephew feared.

Therefore, Zhao Jinfu decided to let his nephew come back after he went there to sign the contract.

Hearing his uncle's words, Zhao Xingrong found it even harder to refute. He would be back the day after tomorrow, and with the increased security and the local sheriff's warnings and pressure from Zamboanga, Abu Ye might really not dare to retaliate against him again.

Zhao Xingrong could only sigh silently to himself and said resignedly, "Okay, I understand."

"Okay, it's about time now, so you should take a car to the airport now."

"……understood."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xingrong walked over to Chen Feng with a helpless expression and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but my uncle is very stubborn. It probably won't do you any good to talk to him, so I won't trouble you. I've already told him about your concerns, and he's taken some precautions, including increasing my security. I'll have about 30 security personnel there, plus local police protection. Also, my uncle has friends and connections there, and he'll ask the sheriff in Zamboanga to warn Abu Yeh so they won't dare to do anything rash to me."

When Chen Feng heard him say this, he focused his attention on him again and sensed it. Sure enough, as expected, his original future had changed a little, but not by much.

Because in the footage he saw, Abu Ye still sent people to attack him. Although he wouldn't be killed by the bomb in the future, he was still injured and disabled, which wasn't a good outcome.

However, compared to being killed in a bombing before, this time he's only in a wheelchair, which is a significant improvement; at least he's still alive.

Chen Feng withdrew his gaze from him and asked calmly, "So, you've already made up your mind to go?"

Zhao Xingrong nodded with a wry smile: "As I just said, this trip is very important to our family. As you probably know, the company's business has been declining in recent years under my management, mainly because our main business of metal products does not have a stable source of ore. If we can successfully acquire the mines in Luzon this time, it will greatly boost our family business and allow us to be rich for two or three generations. Therefore, I have to take this risk."

Seeing his reaction, Chen Feng sighed inwardly and nodded slightly, saying, "Alright, then I won't try to persuade you anymore."

He got three treasures from the other party for free this time, and since he liked the other party, he really didn't want him to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

But they've already said it concerns the future rise and fall of their entire family, so what can they do?

It's best not to speak too frankly with someone you don't know well; after all, he's just an outsider, so it's not appropriate to offer any further advice.

As for asking him to accompany Zhao Xingrong to help him avoid danger in advance, he's not that noble.

Besides, their relationship hasn't reached that level yet.

However, there are compromise solutions, such as the one he used with Ji Hongsheng, where they video chatted every day so he could "calculate" the dangers that might be coming to the other party.

However, this also made Zhao Xingrong aware of Chen Feng's ability to foresee danger, or rather, his ability to "read faces and know good or bad fortune."

However, considering that the uncle and nephew already knew about his special ability of telepathy, it didn't seem like a big deal to let them know about his other special ability.

More importantly, Chen Feng was too kind and principled. He felt that he had gotten three great treasures from the other party for free, especially the jade thumb ring, which gave him a special ability.

If I don't give something in return this time, it will feel like I'm owing the other person something, even if they are completely unaware of it.

Furthermore, if he knew that the person was in danger, and he had the ability to help but didn't, or even let them die, he would feel even more uneasy.

As the old saying goes, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive yourself.

To put it simply, after Chen Feng accepted these three treasures, it was equivalent to accepting a benefit from the other party, thus forming a karmic connection with Zhao Xingrong.

If he were to stand by and watch him spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, it would be tantamount to being unkind and unjust, and would incur the consequences of karma. Therefore, Chen Feng hesitated for only three seconds before saying, "Let's add each other on WeChat."

"Ah good."

Zhao Xingrong was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. He quickly picked up his phone, and the two quickly became friends.

Chen Feng continued, “As I told you before, my intuition is very accurate, especially in predicting danger. My own experience and that of my friends and family have proven this. So, my previous warnings weren't unfounded or alarmist. Now that your uncle has upgraded your security and implemented other precautions, my intuition tells me that the danger of your trip to Luzon has decreased significantly. But I still have to tell you, Abu Ye will definitely still attack you. Therefore, you need to add an extra layer of protection to minimize the danger you face in Luzon. Once you arrive in Luzon, we'll video chat every day, and I can sense whether you're in danger through the video. It would be best if you also told me your daily itinerary; we can discuss that after you arrive. Of course, you can also decline my suggestion.”

Zhao Xingrong wasn't stupid. Although somewhat surprised, after hearing Chen Feng's words, he immediately said happily, "How could someone as afraid of death as me refuse your kindness? Thank you so much, Mr. Chen. I don't know how to thank you enough. Besides, I'm truly ashamed. My family's actions this time were somewhat dishonest. We promised to donate 600 million, but ended up making it an installment plan, and we haven't even raised the 100 million you requested..."

"Alright," Chen Feng interrupted him. "You've already apologized, and now you've given me these collateral items, so let's not talk about this anymore. And to be honest, I never expected your family to donate all 6 million at once; a month or two, or even two or three months would have been fine. I was just annoyed because your uncle lied to me and treated me like a fool. But you're a good person; you took the blame for your uncle and even apologized to me on his behalf. I like you, so let's just let this go. Just donate the rest when you have the money."

Chen Feng received a great deal of benefit this time, and with the collateral given to him by Zhao Xingrong, he naturally appeared very generous.

Moreover, the 6 million isn't for him personally; it's going to be donated to a charitable foundation, so it doesn't directly affect his interests. Besides, the foundation won't need that much money all at once.

"I am truly ashamed!" Zhao Xingrong felt a wave of shame again, but he didn't continue to apologize. Instead, he said, "I won't say anything more. In the future, if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. I, Zhao Xingrong, am a grateful person."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "I rescued you from Luzon a long time ago, and of course I don't want you to die there again."

“You are a very kind person, including donating 6 million to charity, which I know I could never do. So, I really admired you when I found out about this. Now you have made an exception for me and are willing to help me. I really... I really don’t know how to repay you. It’s a pity I don’t have a daughter, otherwise I would definitely introduce her to you.”

Chen Feng couldn't help but think to himself: You don't even have a daughter, what are you talking about?

"Alright, I understand your intentions," Chen Feng waved his hand and changed the subject, saying, "You still need to be extremely careful on your trip to Luzon this time. Even with my prior warning, it's not guaranteed that you can completely avoid attacks and assassinations."

"Yeah, I know. Now that I'm mentally prepared, I'm not so scared anymore. Haha."

Seeing that he was indeed less afraid than before, Chen Feng nodded approvingly: "Not bad! Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into the tiger's den, not everyone has that kind of courage."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Alright, that's all for now. Let me know when you get there. You should set off now."

Chen Feng picked up his phone and looked at it; it was almost two o'clock.

"Okay, I'm heading to the airport now."

Without saying any more nonsense or putting on airs, the two of them carried the wooden box containing the antiques and calligraphy downstairs.

Lawyer Lu Guancheng has also completed the verification of those properties, stocks, and government bonds, and confirmed that everything is correct.

So Chen Feng simply said goodbye to Zhao Xingrong without saying anything more. Zhao Xingrong did the same.

On the way back, Chen Feng was in a very good mood, just like when he won the lottery, or even better.

When he won the lottery, he already had a terminal illness and thought his days were numbered.

His current joyful mood mainly stems from the new special ability he gained from the jade thumb ring.

This time it's not purely mental, but physical.

Once absorbed, this special energy gently nourishes the body like water, granting it a slow but continuous self-healing ability. Wounds heal much faster than normal, and scars are less likely to form. Long-term absorption can slow down aging, keep the body in optimal condition, and significantly enhance resistance to disease and toxins.

This may not seem like a particularly impressive superpower, but it will undoubtedly greatly improve his physical abilities and extend his lifespan.

This is something that money can hardly buy, especially for someone who was once a cancer patient.

Although he had absorbed the life energy from those works of art, which directly enhanced his physical condition and even indirectly delayed the onset of his cancer, he eventually managed to eliminate the cancer.

However, it's clear that those life energies only enhance physical fitness, and not in a lasting way. If Chen Feng doesn't absorb them for a while, he'll feel his physical fitness declining. This is why he's constantly searching for new sources of energy to absorb.

The energy within this jade thumb ring is the same as the energy within the oracle bone script and dragon-patterned jade pendants.

Once Chen Feng absorbs this special energy, the ability he gains becomes permanent; it will not suddenly weaken or disappear.

In other words, once Chen Feng absorbs the special energy from the jade ring, his physical fitness will slowly improve. Unless he is injured, suddenly poisoned and becomes seriously ill, or his body naturally ages over several decades, theoretically his physical fitness will be difficult to decline further.

Moreover, the special energy contained in this jade ring can directly increase his lifespan. If he absorbs it all, Chen Feng estimates that it can increase his lifespan by at least ten years.

Ten years of life is something money can't buy. No wonder Chen Feng treated Zhao Xingrong so well before and even offered to "read his fortune."

Not to mention Zhang Daqian's lotus painting and that piece of jade.

He really made a killing from this wave. (End of Chapter)
