While the other party examined the chain of evidence, Luofeng recounted his conflict with Wu Fanyu, from beginning to end.
"I was initially very surprised that this Wu Fanyu could be so bold, killing people at the drop of a hat. It turns out I’d underestimated him; he had done these kinds of things before," Luofeng let out a chuckle. This guy is a habitual offender. I used to think his cris didn’t warrant death, but now I feel he truly deserves it. Still, as I’ve said, even so, I won’t order him to be directly eliminated. These matters are naturally for others to handle. It’s not that I’m so saint; it’s just that everything should be managed by those responsible. No matter what, one must act according to the rules, right? And if the rules can’t protect you, well, that’s a different story.
Zhou Xiaofeng quickly went through the evidence. It was very detailed: recordings, photos, videos, witness testimonies, and physical evidence—nothing was missing.
"Do Wu Fanyu’s parents know about these things?" Zhou Xiaofeng asked after reviewing everything.
"What do you think?" Luofeng responded with a smile.
"How could they do such a thing? How could they bring themselves to do it?" Zhou Xiaofeng took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "We’ve been friends since we were kids. Although Wu Yufan had his flaws, I considered him my best friend. When my parents were in trouble, he drank with many tis and comforted often."
"So, you gave him the gold mine agency rights?" Luofeng asked.
"Hahaha!" Zhou Xiaofeng suddenly stood up, breaking into manic laughter. "Gold mine! Gold mines! It’s all because of those damn gold mines! If it weren’t for the gold mines, our family wouldn’t have had so many problems!"
"That was inevitable. The gold mine caused everything," Luofeng said, a touch of sympathy in his voice as he tried to comfort him. "But now, you need to pull yourself together. Your parents wouldn’t want to see you go on like this."
"Oh? You also want the gold mine?"
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I co to you, why would I investigate those past events, and why would I tell you the outco?" Luofeng said.
"Do you think I’m so great philanthropist? Or that I pity you?" Luofeng did pity the man, but helping him to that extent was out of the question. He continued, "In life, it’s enough to protect those you want to protect. After all, everyone’s abilities are limited. If I could ddle in such affairs just by pressing a button, then I certainly would help."
"You are refreshingly honest," Zhou Xiaofeng said with a cold smile.
"I believe now, from your perspective, you wouldn’t help the Wu Family anymore, right?"
"Yes, I won’t choose them. I choose you. What’s in it for ?" Zhou Xiaofeng replied. The initial shock had passed, and he’d cald down. After all, his parents hadn’t died today; he had already processed that grief. The real shock was discovering that Wu Fanyu was the true murderer of his parents.
"Firstly, I’ve already paid you an advance benefit. You’ve learned the truth and thus avoided mistaking a thief for a father."
"And in doing so, I saved your life. After all, they wouldn’t let you live once the gold mining is finished."
"Second, if you choose to seek revenge, I can help you through legal channels, as I already possess evidence of the Wu Family’s cris!"
"Third, you can gain my friendship. Although you don’t know well yet, while you were looking over the materials, you must have realized that controlling all this requires significant resources and connections."
Indeed. Luofeng wasn’t exaggerating. He controlled the Zhongyi Tang Company and also had prompts from the System. If these were converted into connections and resources, they would be truly boundless.
"As for the last benefit, I can’t tell you yet. Make your decision first," Luofeng finished speaking and looked at Zhou Xiaofeng, waiting for his response.
"What do you want to do?"
"Heh, first and foremost, we want the ownership of the gold mine, and we will form a company."
"Fine by !"
"You have no conditions?" Luofeng asked, surprised.
"Of course, I have conditions," Zhou Xiaofeng clenched his teeth. "I want to take down the Wu Family. I’m not asking you to kill them, but I want them to get what they deserve, especially Wu Fanyu’s parents!"
"My dad always said Wu Fanyu’s father was a man of integrity, heh." Zhou Xiaofeng almost gagged. Is this what a ’good person’ is?
"Indeed, quite ironic," Luofeng muttered, then said, "Alright, I promise you, they will definitely get what they deserve. Any other requests?"
"That’s my only one, but the sooner, the better. I can’t wait," Zhou Xiaofeng declared.
"Well then, since you’ve agreed, I’ll tell you the final benefit. Besides , you’ll gain three allies. They will hold 75% of the shares. From my 25%, I’ll give 5% to you, ensuring you a lifeti of wealth," Luofeng finished.
Zhou Xiaofeng suddenly laughed. "Luofeng, I’m suddenly looking forward to our friendship. You’re an interesting person. You clearly could have completely controlled , cooperated with the Wu Family, or even taken everything for yourself."
"Heh, when I make money, I only seek a clear conscience," Luofeng said calmly.
"Alright, it seems you are much more reliable than Wu Fanyu. So when do we take care of the gold mine ownership?" Zhou Xiaofeng inquired.
"Are you in such a rush?"
"Isn’t that the foundation of our cooperation?" Zhou Xiaofeng replied.
"Heh, alright then, I have a good impression of you. Just give a mont. I’ll contact my three allies. From now on, they will take the lead in handling matters with you and will arrange everything, whether it’s dealing with the Wu Family, the gold mine ownership, or legal issues," Luofeng said calmly.
His own task was to handle Zhou Xiaofeng. Everything else was up to the three brothers.
"Our allies are that powerful?"
"What do you think? Otherwise, would we dare to snatch food from a tiger’s mouth?" Luofeng smiled. "This matter isn’t as simple as you might think. Let contact them first!"
Luofeng imdiately sent a ssage in the group: "Everyone, Keely Hotel, room xxx, co quickly. Everyone must co, but keep a low profile."
"Received!"
"Looks like things are settled?"
"Alas, with no education, a single ’Damn it!’ suffices!"
「Half an hour later.」
Li Bo Kai was the first to arrive.
Upon entering, he caught sight of Zhou Xiaofeng and paused slightly. "Isn’t this that guy? The owner of the gold mine from the Rainbow Region?"
