After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chen Feng hadn't expected there to be such inside information. After listening, he said, "Then you can use him as a hostage to make the other side hesitate and ensure your personal safety for the next few days as much as possible."

Zhao Xingrong said with a smile, "That's what I thought too. With this guy in my hands, as long as I'm careful, they shouldn't target me anymore. Anyway, I'm really grateful to you for catching this guy. Otherwise, I would have been in real danger. This guy has a gun and he even infiltrated my inner circle. It was too dangerous. Master Chen, you saved my life again."

After confirming Chen Feng's previous accusations, Zhao Xingrong felt both lingering fear and immense relief.

If I hadn't proactively contacted Chen Feng and offered him collateral before going abroad, I would never have had the chance to get his help again.

Not to mention his trust in Chen Feng later on. If he hadn't trusted Chen Feng's accusations before, or hadn't taken them seriously, he would definitely have been in deep trouble this time.

Chen Feng asked with some curiosity, "How did this person infiltrate your security team? Is there an inside man?"

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Zhao Xingrong said speechlessly, "You don't know the situation in the underworld here; it's very chaotic. My uncle has an old brother who does business here and has some connections. At first, he helped me pick out a dozen or so security personnel here, all of whom were quite reliable. But yesterday, my uncle was worried about my safety here, so he temporarily picked out another dozen or so local armed security personnel. This guy took the opportunity to sneak in because he bribed the person in charge of recruitment, who was one of my uncle's old brother's subordinates. His subordinate didn't expect this guy to be an undercover agent for Abu Ye; he was just a bit greedy, but he didn't have any bad intentions."

Chen Feng then understood the reason behind it all. He could only say that Zhao Xingrong really owed him a lot for his help this time, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died.

"So what are you planning to do next?" Chen Feng asked.

Zhao Xingrong didn't hide anything and said directly, "Brother Peng has already called Boss Abuye directly to lay the cards on the table. This was something we discussed together. Rather than letting them think we were unaware all along, it's better to be upfront and let them know we're not to be trifled with. Of course, we don't have the strength to fight them to the death right now, so we hope to resolve our previous grievances with them temporarily."

"So what was their attitude?" Chen Feng asked.

Zhao Xingrong said with a wry smile, "They are very arrogant and told us that we must release the people immediately, or they will make us regret it."

"Don't they intend to reconcile with you?"

Zhao Xingrong shook his head and said, "They are unreasonable and have always been arrogant. They originated from a rebel armed group, and their nature hasn't changed much even now. They don't even respect the local government, let alone us foreign businessmen."

Chen Feng was also somewhat displeased and asked, "Doesn't their eldest son worry about his nephew's safety?"

Zhao Xingrong smiled bitterly again, "He threatened us that if anything happened to his cousin, we would all be killed with him. He acted like he had us completely under his thumb. However, it's clear that he still cares about this cousin, so I think he won't make any more rash moves. My personal safety should be guaranteed for the next few days."

After a moment's thought, Chen Feng said, "We still shouldn't be careless. You said yourself that this guy is very arrogant, and might even be a bit psychologically abnormal. We can't look at him with normal thinking. How about this, I'll take another look for you. I'll send you a video call."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he hung up the phone and then sat down on the sofa in the living room, deciding not to eat lunch yet.

The main reason he was so eager to help was, of course, because he had gained a huge benefit from Zhao Xingrong this time, and he definitely needed to give something back to feel at ease.

Secondly, after this interaction, Chen Feng felt that Zhao Xingrong was a good person. They didn't necessarily hit it off, but they were quite pleasing to the eye.

Another reason is that Chen Feng dislikes the local Luzon gang, Abuye.

The video call was sent and Zhao Xingrong answered quickly.

"Master Chen, thank you for your help. Could you please take another look at me?"

Zhao Xingrong said with a look of eager anticipation.

Chen Feng nodded and stared intently at Zhao Xingrong on the screen. After carefully sensing the scene, several images flashed through his mind again, and he couldn't help but frown.

Zhao Xingrong had been watching Chen Feng's expression closely. When he saw Chen Feng's expression, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask, "Master, how is it?"

Chen Feng said with a somewhat solemn expression, "The other side is indeed crazy. They should have already sent people over, including those carrying shoulder-mounted grenades. They will launch an attack on your location in one or two hours at the earliest."

"What?" Zhao Xingrong exclaimed. "I live right next to the municipal government, less than a hundred meters away. Do they really dare to do this?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "You just said that they were originally a rebel armed group and didn't take the local government seriously, so it's normal for them to do this. Moreover, the fact that they did this shows that they really value his cousin and want to rescue him as soon as possible."

Zhao Xingrong was furious and said coldly, "Isn't he afraid we'll kill his cousin?"

Chen Feng sneered, "He's betting you won't dare to do that."

"Damn it!" Zhao Xingrong couldn't help but curse aloud; they were indeed somewhat hesitant.

"Stop cursing. Let's think about what to do next. You can either prepare for battle and fight them head-on, or you can move away first."

Zhao Xingrong asked with a worried look, "Master, what should I do?"

Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him and corrected him, "Don't call me 'Master' anymore, just call me by my name, or Boss Chen."

Zhao Xingrong quickly said, "Then I'll still call you Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen, please enlighten me, what should I do next?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng said, "Here's what we'll do: immediately arrange a banquet at your residence and invite all the prominent figures in the area. At the same time, mobilize as many people as possible to prepare for battle."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xingrong asked, "Can you confirm when this group of people will arrive?"

After feigning a moment of hesitation, Chen Feng said, "It should be in two hours, so you have two hours to prepare."

"That's good. Two hours is still enough time. I'll invite them all to lunch; some of them will come."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately reminded him, "You must invite at least one or two influential local figures. Otherwise, how can you use this to retaliate against Abu Ye? That's why I asked you to invite people to the banquet."

Zhao Xingrong nodded: "I understand. I'll invite one or two big shots from the area to get them involved. But the other side has howitzers; can we defeat them?"

Chen Feng said, "They shouldn't be sending many people this time, maybe twenty or thirty at most. Their main purpose is to rescue people, not to carry out a terrorist attack. So, you don't need to worry too much. Besides, you're living next to the city government now. If you invite their mayor to dinner, do you think there won't be local police following you? When the fighting starts, the police will definitely respond quickly. Of course, just to be safe, you should find a place to hide beforehand, just in case."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Zhao Xingrong gritted his teeth and agreed.

In reality, Zhao Xingrong preferred to avoid the situation first, since safety comes first.

But he also knew that even if he managed to escape this time, what about next time or the time after that? His family was going to mine and do business here for a long time, and now they had become mortal enemies with the local gang, Abuye. How easy would it be to escape?

There was no other way but to bite the bullet and fight them to the bitter end.

"Let's put it this way for now. You immediately arrange a banquet, invite the local bigwigs to the banquet, and try to drag them into this mess. If one or two of them happen to be injured or killed, then this matter will be settled, and the destruction of Abuye will be accelerated."

Zhao Xingrong gave a wry smile and nodded, saying, "I hope so."

"Okay, contact me if you need anything."

After saying that, Chen Feng ended the call and returned to the dining table to eat.

Wu Mengting couldn't help but ask curiously, "Was that the person you were talking to just now, the one surnamed Zhao? What happened on his end?"

Since Zhao Xingrong's matter involved some conspiracies and schemes, Chen Feng didn't intend to tell the two women much. He shook his head and said, "It's about Zhao Xingrong. It involves his privacy, so I can't tell you."

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting pursed her lips but didn't ask any further questions.

After dinner, Chen Feng watched TV with the two women in the living room for about an hour before getting up and leaving.

The two women tacitly refrained from asking him where he was going.

Because those who understand will either go to find other women or go see their two children.

No matter who they go to, they can't object, nor do they have the right to object.

Chen Feng went to see the two children first, since he hadn't seen them for two or three days.

When Chen Feng arrived at Bibo Garden, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. Unfortunately, both children had just finished eating and were taking a nap. They were sleeping in Liu Ying's room, the siblings sharing a bed, sound asleep. Chen Feng could only glance at them before leaving the room again.

Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan sat in the living room, chatting quietly while watching TV and eating sunflower seeds, enjoying a comfortable life.

Seeing Chen Feng come out of the room, Liu Ying said with a smile, "The two siblings are together every day now, especially Niu Niu, who is like a little shadow, always sticking to Guo Guo's side, and he often gets bullied by Guo Guo." Chen Feng smiled and said, "That's good. As they grow up, their relationship will be better."

Hong Xiaodan said with some disdain, "Niu Niu looks too weak. He's always being bullied by Guo Guo. When he grows up, he shouldn't be afraid of women."

Liu Ying immediately said, "Niu Niu is only afraid of his sister, not women."

Hong Xiaodan still said with some concern, "I hope so. I always feel that this child is a bit weak in character."

Liu Ying said speechlessly, "How old is he?"

Hong Xiaodan retorted, "What about Guoguo? She's not that old either, but she looks fierce. She has a strong personality."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying rolled her eyes: "You're the fierce one! How is Guoguo fierce? She's incredibly cute."

After listening to their discussion, Chen Feng smiled and said, "A strong personality isn't necessarily good, and a weak personality isn't necessarily bad. We need to analyze it dialectically."

Hong Xiaodan said, "I hope Niu Niu can be like you in terms of personality, not assertive but never weak either, and being neither humble nor arrogant is the best."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying's lips twitched slightly, and she continued, "I think it's good that Guoguo is like this. At least she won't be easily bullied in the future. Chen Feng, don't you agree?"

"Let's talk about the future later. How old are they now? You can tell what a person will be like at three and what they will be like at seven. They're not even three yet."

After saying that, Chen Feng changed the subject and asked, "Why didn't you guys go shopping today?"

Chen Feng knew that they all had the habit of going shopping on weekends.

Hong Xiaodan said, "We went out shopping yesterday. Oh, and I bought you some clothes. I'll go get them for you now."

After saying that, Hong Xiaodan got up and went next door to get her clothes.

Liu Ying also stood up and said, "I bought you a set too, you can try it out."

After saying that, Liu Ying went to the sofa next to her, grabbed a shopping bag, and took out a set of clothes from it. It was a foreign brand.

Chen Feng couldn't very well say that he didn't need any clothes, since he had already bought them.

So Chen Feng took the clothes and tried them on quickly and efficiently. The thin trousers and polo shirt fit him perfectly.

"Not bad, not bad." Liu Ying looked at Chen Feng with sparkling eyes, full of admiration. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Chen Feng was becoming more and more handsome and charming.

At this moment, Hong Xiaodan also came over with clothes, which were of course brand-name items, dress pants and a shirt. Chen Feng had no choice but to take off his clothes and put them on.

He looks even more handsome in this outfit, and both of them are drooling with admiration.

However, neither of them were shameless, so they couldn't make a move in front of Chen Feng.

However, Liu Ying, acting as if she were an older sister, took the initiative to step forward, carefully examining Chen Feng's handsome face while asking curiously, "Did you go for a skincare treatment? Your skin looks much better."

Hong Xiaodan belatedly noticed that Chen Feng's skin had improved and nodded, saying, "Yes, your skin really does seem to have improved a lot. It's much smoother now. You didn't actually get a facial, did you?"

"What kind of care do I, a grown man, need? I might just get better naturally by exercising every day, maintaining a regular schedule, and cultivating my mind and body."

Chen Feng knew the real reason why his skin had improved, but he certainly couldn't say it out loud, and he was too lazy to make up any other excuses, so he just said it like that.

Although the two women were somewhat skeptical of his statement, they did not delve into it further. They simply looked at him with watery eyes, one on each side.

Chen Feng noticed their unusual behavior and was about to speak when his phone rang. It was his call, so he picked it up from the coffee table.

It was Guo Mengyao calling, and Chen Feng answered it without hesitation.

"What is it?" Chen Feng asked directly.

"I'm with Xiaoyue right now, why don't you come over too, the three of us can chat together."

Chen Feng declined, saying, "You two women can chat, I have other things to do."

"What could you possibly want? It's been so long since the three of us old classmates got together. Let's have a good chat right here at Lyman Cafe. Come on over."

"I'm really busy right now. I just saw Xiaoyue yesterday."

"Why are you so indecisive? Xiaoyue is going back tonight. Is it so hard to ask you to come out and meet her?"

Seeing her so assertive, Chen Feng was naturally a little unhappy, so he said, "Do you want to see me or does Xiaoyue want to see me? Don't use Xiaoyue as an excuse. Okay, I really have something to do, I can't talk to you anymore."

After saying that, Chen Feng hung up the phone.

Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan were right next to him, and they listened to the entire conversation between Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao. They were both speechless.

No man would like Guo Mengyao's personality, let alone a man like Chen Feng who is also somewhat assertive.

Chen Feng put down his phone, then took off the clothes he had tried on, intending to change back into his original clothes, when his phone rang again.

Afraid of disturbing the two children sleeping in the room, Chen Feng immediately picked up his phone again. Seeing that it was Fang Xiaoyue calling, he answered immediately.

"Chen Feng, do you not want to see me anymore?" Fang Xiaoyue asked with a smile.

"Didn't we just meet yesterday? I even introduced you to someone and treated you to a big meal."

"Okay, okay, I admit it. I'm too embarrassed to say anything bad about you now. But you were a bit harsh on Mengyao just now, you even hung up on her, which made her very angry."

"She was too domineering. Does she think I have to go just because she tells me to? Besides, I have things to do here too."

"Alright, alright, I don't want to get involved in your affairs. But Mengyao was the one I invited out, so you shouldn't have upset her like this."

"Alright, let's stop talking about her. How are things going with Xu Wei? Are you planning to continue talking to him?"

After a moment of silence, Fang Xiaoyue said, "Let's talk about it first. Anyway, I've been single for so long, so it's fate that we met. Let's talk about it first."

Upon hearing her words, Chen Feng sensed something was amiss. Fang Xiaoyue had been quite satisfied with Xu Wei yesterday, but now, her words suggested a change in her attitude.

"What exactly happened? Weren't you very satisfied with him yesterday? How come your rating has dropped after just one day?"

After another moment of silence, Fang Xiaoyue sighed and said, "He's great in every way, but... maybe my expectations are a bit too high. Let's talk about it some more and see."

Chen Feng was completely confused. He wanted to ask more questions, but then thought better of it. After all, it was their own business, and it was a matter of their relationship. It was best for outsiders not to get too involved.

"Okay, then you can consider and weigh it yourself. Don't be shy just because he was introduced to you by me. If you're really not satisfied with him, don't worry about me and Mengting, just refuse him directly."

"Thank you, I understand. I'll think about it myself."

"Alright, that's settled then. You can go back to your hometown tonight, I won't see you off. Be careful on the road."

"Okay, I might come to Xiuzhou often in the future, so you don't need to be too polite. Just treat me to a big meal every time I come, haha."

"Sure, I'll treat you to a meal if you come over."

"Then it's settled."
