Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

After saying goodbye to Lou Bancheng, Wang Feng left Villa No. 8, then left the Repulse Bay villa area, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the New Territories.

......

Two days later.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Wang Feng arrived at the grove outside the capital city, entered his spatial dimension, went to the living area, brewed a pot of tea, and waited for dawn.

This time, his return to Beijing was more than two hours faster than before, mainly because his current strength has increased, and other aspects have also improved significantly.

On his way back to Beijing these past two days, he drank another two jin of the Water of Life, which increased his strength by another two hundred jin. Now his strength has reached three thousand three hundred jin.

His sprinting speed increased from 160 mph to 170 mph, and his top speed even reached 180 mph, which reduced the time it took him to return from Hong Kong Island to Beijing by more than two hours.

If his strength reaches 6,000 jin, or even 10,000 jin, he might be able to make a round trip from Hong Kong Island in one night, comparable to the speed of high-speed rail or even airplanes in later generations, which would be terrifying.

At that speed, even if he were to run someone over, he could turn them into a pulp. At that point, he would be a human weapon.

Even now, he's practically a human weapon. At 170 to 180 mph, if he hits someone, that person is unlikely to survive. He's definitely more powerful than a dump truck.

......

Time quickly came to six in the morning, and Wang Feng came out of the space, took out his bicycle, and rode into Beijing.

It took Wang Feng about half an hour to get back to Nanluoguxiang, but this time he didn't go back to No. 95 Courtyard, but went to No. 28 Courtyard instead.

Now that his three wives are all in courtyard number 28, why would he go back to courtyard number 95?

"Knock knock knock".

There was a knock on the door, and after a while, Lu Banxia's wary voice came from inside:

"Who is it?"

"it's me."

Upon hearing Wang Feng's voice, Lu Banxia quickly opened the door.

"Brother Feng, you're back?"

"Um."

Wang Feng smiled and nodded, then pushed his bicycle into the yard.

"Sister Jingru, Sister Xiao'e, come out quickly! Brother Feng is back!"

Lu Banxia closed the door and shouted excitedly into the room.

Wang Feng sat in the living room for a while, and then Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e came out of the room.

"Brother Wang Feng, why are you back so soon this time?" Qin Jingru asked in surprise.

"Hehe, now our route to Hong Kong Island is a bit faster. I'll arrange things and then come back," Wang Feng explained with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e was very surprised. She knew that Beijing was thousands of kilometers away from Hong Kong Island. Even if you traveled by car the whole way, it wouldn't be this fast.

However, she knew this must be Wang Feng's most closely guarded secret, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"Brother Feng, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll make you some right away. Banxia, ​​come and help me out."

"Hey, here it comes."

With Lu Banxia's help, Lou Xiao'e made the chicken noodles in less than an hour.

The four of them ate their noodles heartily, and only then did Lou Xiao'e speak up and ask:

"Brother Feng, did you see my parents on your trip to Hong Kong Island? How are they doing now?"

Wang Feng slurped up a mouthful of noodles and laughed, "Son, don't worry, your parents are doing well. Your dad has opened a food processing plant, mainly making canned meat and fruit, and he also opened a clothing factory. Your mom can't stay idle all day, so she goes to the food factory to supervise the work."

"Also, my people have now set up a company called Maple Leaf Group. I have some connections there and got a batch of guns. I've also recruited more than 300 security guards. My people and your dad help each other out and have completely established themselves in Hong Kong."

"That's good."

Lou Xiao'e was relieved to hear that her parents were doing well.

"Brother Wang Feng, what does our family's company do? Is it really that chaotic over there? Do we need to hire so many security guards?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

"Hehe, right now we're buying jadeite and then selling it overseas at high prices. In a while, we'll also set up a real estate company and open a few factories," Wang Feng explained with a smile.

"Jingru, let me tell you, Hong Kong Island is not like Beijing. There, even if you eat a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall, you might run into gangsters demanding protection money. If pretty girls like you were walking down the street, within ten minutes, a large group of gangsters would come and kidnap you to be their wives."

"Huh? Is it really that chaotic?" Qin Jingru asked in surprise.

Lu Banxia chuckled and said, "Sister Jingru, what's wrong with messing around? With our skills right now, we can easily take down ten thugs. I think it'll be even more fun this way."

Ever since Lu Banxia beat up He Daqing, she's gotten a bit cocky and wants to hit people all the time. It's such a shame that she's so good at fighting but no one lets her hit anyone.

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes: "Banxia, ​​what are you showing off for? Didn't you hear what Brother Feng said? He got a batch of guns and hired more than 300 security guards. That's how he was able to gain a foothold in Hong Kong. Do you think those thugs can fight you with their fists? If they can't beat you, they'll just shoot you with a gun."

Wang Feng nodded and said seriously, "Banxia, ​​it's really true. Hong Kong is indeed very chaotic. Although the gangs there don't all have guns, the higher-ups definitely do. Moreover, those petty thugs will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Unless you're not afraid of bullets, you really won't dare to be arrogant in Hong Kong."

"oh."

Lu Banxia's hopes were dashed; it seems she'll have to be more low-key in the future.

After breakfast, Lu Banxia washed the dishes, Lou Xiao'e wiped the table, and brewed a pot of tea. The four of them then began to recount their experiences over the past few days.

Wang Feng was just spouting nonsense, some parts true and some false, and he didn't reveal the core secrets to them.

As for the three of them, their lives these past few days have been even simpler. Every morning, Lu Banxia and Lou Xiao'e make breakfast, and after breakfast, the three of them sit together to drink tea and chat. Then they cook and eat again, and that's how these past few days have passed.

After finishing the pot of tea, Qin Jingru said, "Brother Wang Feng, you must not have slept well last night. Goose, why don't you go and sleep with Brother Wang Feng for a while longer?"

"OK."

Before Wang Feng could speak, Lou Xiao'e readily agreed and went straight to the room.
