Chapter 500 Do I Have Someone in the Underworld?

When Zhang Qian, Fan Chengdong, Li Jun, and Xu Zhilei sat down at a table again, the scene was completely different.

The four people had different expressions on their faces.

Fan Chengdong pondered, Zhang Qian was delighted, Li Jun was embarrassed, and Xu Zhilei had mixed feelings.

What was supposed to be a banquet to celebrate Li Jun's victory has now turned into a banquet with a different protagonist.

Xu Zhilei still remembered that half a day ago, when the news came out that Li Jun had failed the Yin Messenger test, none of the previously enthusiastic family and friends called again.

Only her father spoke a few words to her with a hint of regret.

But just two hours later, Xu Zhilei's phone started being bombarded with messages.

Xu Zhilei only accepted one of the offers before she understood what was going on.

Fan Chengdong!
Because of Fan Chengdong, Xu Zhilei has brought her family members closer together again.

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, Xu Zhilei accepted all the warmth from her relatives and friends.

After the meeting, Xu Zhilei talked to her father about the situation.

She learned the details from her father.

Fan Chengdong was taken to the underworld, and during a break in the underworld officials' assessment, he was taken away by a yaksha on the spot, thus passing the assessment and becoming a yaksha in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town.

Zhouzhuang Ancient Town is, to date, the place with the largest number of underworld officials stationed there.

As soon as the news broke, Fan Chengdong's information became known to various factions.

Xu Zhilei's family originally had no intention of trying to curry favor with Fan Chengdong, a newly rich man, because they were out of reach. However, someone found Fan Chengdong's father among their family business partners.

After following the clues to the end, they discovered the series of relationships between Fan Chengdong and Xu Zhilei.

This brought the Xu family immense joy!

For the Xu family, whether it is Li Jun or not is not important; what is important is whether the Xu family can curry favor with a ghost official in the underworld!
And Fan Chengdong, this kid who received 'help' from the Xu family, has transformed into a ghost messenger. Isn't he even more suitable for the Xu family than Li Jun?

Thus, Xu Zhilei once again became the apple of the Xu family's eye.

This time, however, the reason she became Mingzhu was not because of her own boyfriend, but because of someone else's boyfriend.

At that moment, Xu Zhilei knew that there were many people waiting to come and offer toasts in the other private rooms outside theirs.

These people included members of the Xu family, people with good relations with the Xu family, and others who came after hearing the news.

Of course, Xu Zhilei knew that there would be even more people on Fan Chengdong's side of the family!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Xu Zhilei smiled and picked up her glass.

"I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. Although Li Jun didn't pass the test, it's not a loss for our group of four. After all, the result is the same. We've just produced a messenger from the underworld, haven't we?"

Li Jun's expression turned ugly for a moment upon hearing this, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Yes, Brother Fan is truly fortunate to be in this situation. Come on, let's have a drink!"

Seeing Li Jun and Xu Zhilei's attitude, Zhang Qian happily picked up her cup and hugged Fan Chengdong with her other hand.

"Da Dong, you're awesome! Cheers!"

Fan Chengdong smiled helplessly, picked up his glass, and clinked it with the three of them.

Although he was a little confused about what happened, isn't it good that this is the outcome?
"Da Dong, about that thing I told you about before, is it feasible?"

Li Jun asked impatiently.

His failure to pass the assessment not only disappointed Xu Zhilei and her family, but also his own family.

Therefore, he desperately wanted to use Fan Chengdong as a variable to get himself back into the realm of the underworld.

After all, it's not impossible that Fan Chengdong could bypass the underworld officials and get him imprisoned.

Just as Fan Chengdong was about to speak, Xu Zhilei spoke up first.

"Da Dong just joined, how could we possibly get you in? Let Da Dong familiarize himself with the procedures of the underworld first, and we'll talk about it later if there's an opportunity."

Fan Chengdong shared the same sentiment. Although Li Jun had behaved rather poorly when he first entered the Underworld, the other party had indeed helped him get into the Bureau of Investigation.

So he said to Li Jun, "Xu Zhilei is right. I've only just come into contact with the Underworld. Being chosen is all by chance. Once I'm more familiar with it, I'll help you if I have the opportunity."

Hearing Fan Chengdong say that, Li Jun was both happy and unhappy.

Just as he was about to say something, Xu Zhilei pulled his hand.

Looking into Xu Zhilei's eyes, Li Jun ultimately did not push his luck.

Just then, Zhang Qian asked a question that both Xu Zhilei and Li Jun couldn't figure out.

"Da Dong, how exactly were you chosen to be the Yaksha?"

Seeing that he had looked at all three men, Fan Chengdong gave a wry smile and then recounted what had happened that night.

At this point, not only Li Jun, but even Xu Zhilei was starting to lose her composure.

An opportunity that others could only dream of, Fan Chengdong bypassed the assessment and became a Yaksha simply because of this one reason?

At this moment, apart from Zhang Qian who was genuinely happy, the other two had mixed feelings.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Zhilei knew who it was.

She got up, walked to the door, opened it, and said to Fan Chengdong, "Dadong, these are my dad and uncle."

Fan Chengdong looked at the two smiling middle-aged men and understood.

Immediately, he and Zhang Qian stood up and greeted Xu Zhilei's uncle with the demeanor of juniors.

Seeing this, Xu Zhilei and the two Xu brothers' smiles became even more genuine.

After exchanging pleasantries, someone else started knocking on the door.

"Then we'll be going now, so as not to disturb you."

Xu Zhilei's uncle knew what the outsiders were there for, but he didn't stop them.

Some people are simply unstoppable.

At the same time, they were also afraid of displeasing Fan Chengdong.

But just as they got up to leave, Fan Chengdong spoke up.

"Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu, if you have nothing else to do, please stay and help me deal with those people."

Upon hearing this, both Xu brothers trembled.

Without prior arrangement, the same thought popped into their minds.

"Stable!"

"The Xu family is about to take off!"

After the banquet ended that day, Fan Chengdong saw off Zhang Qian, who wanted to be close to him, and prepared to return to his home in Lingyuan City.

As for the way back, it's by using a sedan chair!

Although Fan Chengdong told Xu Zhilei about how he joined Yaksha, he didn't mention another thing.

That's attitude.

The Yaksha leader in the underworld treated him so well!

He was so kind as to lend Fan Chengdong his own yin-yang sedan chair and give Fan Chengdong two days to arrange everything in the mortal world.

Fan Chengdong had assumed that the Yaksha were all harmonious, but the Yaksha leader named Bai Langyue treated the other Yakshas very differently from how he treated him!

This is very strange.

Xu Zhilei and the others thought that Fan Chengdong had connections in the underworld, and the leader of the Yakshas in the underworld also seemed to think that Fan Chengdong had connections in the underworld, but Fan Chengdong himself was unaware that he had connections in the underworld!

This strange illusion made Fan Chengdong somewhat uneasy.

He was afraid that these people might have made a mistake, and what would he do when the illusion was exposed?

Will they be forced back to their original state, or will they continue down the wrong path?

Therefore, Fan Chengdong did not reject the Xu family's attempts to get closer to him. If anyone else wanted to get closer, the Xu family could simply step in.

In this way, the backlash after the illusion is shattered can be mitigated.

Thinking this, Fan Chengdong got into the yin-yang sedan chair and headed towards his home.

Compared to the two or three hours it takes to drive, the speed of the Yin-Yang sedan chair was quite fast.

Fan Chengdong kept the curtains open, watching the sedan chair speeding towards Lingyuan City, crashing through one obstacle after another.

Within five minutes, Fan Chengdong entered the Lingyuan City area. Soon, he saw his own villa and the cars parked outside.

On a whim, Fan Chengdong did not have the sedan chair stop outside, but drove it directly into the hall.

……

"Brother Fan, we had drinks together when you came to our city before. I thought you were a trustworthy person back then. I never expected that your son would be even more outstanding than your father!"

A tall, fat man with broad shoulders and a thick waist, his body a mixture of muscles and fat, stood to Fan Jingfeng's left, smiling broadly as he spoke to Fan Jingfeng.

Behind him, there were four or five people who wanted to interrupt, but the fat man blocked them from speaking.

To Fan Jingfeng's right was a middle-aged man with half-gray hair.

The middle-aged man smiled gently and listened to Fan Jingfeng and the fat man's conversation without interrupting.

But no one dared to stand behind him.

Fan Jingfeng felt both happy and exhausted as he listened to the fat man's words.

This is the third wave today.

Each wave included several key figures, seemingly pre-arranged.

Among this group, the fat man on the left and the middle-aged man on the right are the two with the strongest status and strength.

As for what the fat man said, Fan Jingfeng could only laugh.

The fat man had connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles in another city, and almost everyone who went to that city to do business had to pay him a visit.

Otherwise, you can forget about running a stable business.

Fan Jingfeng did indeed eat at the same table as the fat man, but at that time, Fan Jingfeng was the one offering the toast, and he only said one sentence from beginning to end: "I'll drink it all, you can drink as you like."

But today, after this fat guy arrived, he downed three glasses of wine in a row while eating.

Each cup seemed to say, "I'll finish mine, Brother Fan, you can drink as you like."

As for the middle-aged man on the right, he has an even bigger background than the fat man. The fat man can only make a name for himself in one city, but this man has power in more than a dozen cities.

As for the others behind the fat man, they were actually about the same strength as him. The reason they couldn't get a word in edgewise was simply because the fat man was too big and took up too much space.

In addition, their deliberate or unintentional sabotage led them to be left at the very end.

Fan Jingfeng felt incredibly proud as he watched this scene.

All of this was brought by his son.

With a son like this, what more could a husband ask for!

"Brother Fan, when would you like to let us meet Xiao Dong? I'm planning to send him a congratulatory gift."

Upon hearing this, the others stopped arguing over positions and all looked at Fan Jingfeng.

After all, Fan Chengdong is the main character, and Fan Jingfeng is just a roundabout choice they made after they couldn't get in touch with Fan Chengdong.

Upon hearing this, Fan Jingfeng smiled and said, "That kid told me that he's with his friends in Mubei City today, and he has another day off tomorrow, so he'll be back soon."

"I plan to book a few tables at the hotel then, and everyone can come if they have time, so that Xiao Dong can get to know us."

Everyone was satisfied with these words.

Immediately, some people offered to leave.

Just then, a chilling aura swept through the villa's hall, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.

Then, right before everyone's eyes, a sedan chair shrouded in black mist slowly appeared at the entrance of the villa.

Looking at the four distinctive sedan chair bearers, apart from Fan Jingfeng who seemed somewhat at a loss, the others all revealed a glint of shrewdness in their eyes.

Just then, the sedan bearers lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

Fan Chengdong came out from inside.

"Dad, I'm back."

With that, Fan Chengdong waved his hand and put the Yin-Yang sedan chair away.

This scene was deeply imprinted in the eyes of everyone present.

……

After half an hour.

After everyone left, Fan Chengdong chatted with his father about what had happened during this time.

She also told Fan Jingfeng about her concerns.

Upon hearing his son's words, Fan Jingfeng paused for a moment before replying, "Xiao Dong, do you think that Dad's annual sponsorship of students from impoverished families is just arbitrary?"

"No, I donate to them not for fame, so before I donate, I always learn about the children's situation and their family situation to see if it is worth my donation."

"If I'm already in this situation, do you think the underworld would let you join so easily?"

"Do you think the underworld is short of names? Or, what benefits would the underworld gain from recruiting you?"

Fan Chengdong shook his head blankly.

“That’s right. If I don’t seek fame or reward, then I have only one purpose in sponsoring someone.”

Fan Jingfeng looked at Fan Chengdong and said, "That means I know him, or I know his family. Only then will I help him!"

"So what you should be concerned about is not whether you've been mistaken for someone else, but whether any of the people you know actually have that much ability!"

Fan Chengdong's eyes lit up.

So, does he have connections in the underworld?

But then he asked in confusion, "Couldn't it be your friend, Dad?"

Fan Jingfeng smiled.

"Impossible. If my friend had that ability, it would never be your turn."

“At our age, we’re all about profit, so even if they’re going to give it to us, I’ll have to beg for it.”

"But you are different."

"Your friends are all students. Relationships during student days are the purest and most sincere."

"So the person who helps you can only be your friend!"

At this point, Fan Jingfeng sighed, "I don't know much about the Underworld organization, but the fact that so many families and forces are drawn to it shows how powerful it is."

"And what kind of status does someone who can directly transfer you to the underworld have in the underworld?"

"I really can't imagine it."

Fan Jingfeng looked at Fan Chengdong.

"If you can't find that person, then remember one thing."

"Treat everyone who has ever shown you kindness with sincerity."

Even if you haven't seen each other for a long time!

"Especially the people you've come into contact with in the last month."

Upon hearing Fan Jingfeng's words, Fan Chengdong nodded blankly.

But are there any people among his friends who are that capable?

Fan Chengdong looked at the night sky, recalling the events of the past month.

Suddenly, a person appeared in his memory.

He recalled the night he took Chen Xin to his aunt's house, and the conversation they had when he left.
