We often marvel at the beauty of this world, unaware that dark dealings lurk in the shadows of the night, unnoticed and unrecognized. By the time another dawn breaks, the world returns to its state of clarity and brightness.
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight streamed into Canglang One Floating Life. Jufeng lazily stretched and rubbed his tousled hair, which had become unruly from a night of tossing and turning. His gaze drifted outside, and he couldn't help but sigh at the prospect of yet another beautiful day.
Breakfast was handled by the younger ones, mostly consisting of ready-made dishes bought from outside, though occasionally they would cook. However, it was always Jufeng and Xue who took charge in the kitchen; the other burly men were more suited to brawling than cooking. As the old saying goes, each profession has its own expertise—different fields are like different mountains.
After a simple wash-up, Jufeng slowly made his way downstairs. Below, Tong Bailong and a few others were already seated but hadn’t started eating yet. Normally, Jufeng wouldn’t be so formal about such details, but Xue Hele insisted on it. He couldn’t argue against it anymore and felt too embarrassed to go back to sleep.
“Good morning!”
“Good morning, Brother Jufeng!”
Jufeng waved his hand, signaling everyone to start. The others were fine, but Tong Bailong wasted no time and quickly filled his bowl.
Jufeng particularly liked this side of Tong Bailong; those who were passionate were often deeply emotional—even if their passion was for food.
“A-Zheng, how did you handle last night’s situation? Any news from And Group?”
As Jufeng ate, he suddenly remembered something and asked.
Hearing the boss's question, Lezheng quickly swallowed his food and replied, “Everything has been taken care of as per Brother Jufeng's instructions. Andland’s legs are definitely ruined. However, there are no leads on those seven thugs; Andland was very discreet about it. They don’t even know who hired them. Everything has been handed over to Director Zou. Chairman An returned last night but left for abroad with Andland this morning.”
Jufeng was taken aback by this news. Did And Group really let it go just like that? It didn’t make sense.
While Jufeng was still puzzled, his phone suddenly rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, his furrowed brow relaxed instantly.
“Hello, Jia'er? Calling so early—are you missing me?”
“Pfft! What nonsense is that?” A playful voice came from the other end, with no hint of reproach in her tone. “Seriously though, why didn’t you come last night?”
As Jufeng listened to Lu Qijia’s voice gradually fade into a murmur, he couldn’t help but curse himself for being careless.
“Well… I had something come up last night and couldn’t make it. I’ll definitely be there tonight; don’t be too anxious.”
Though Jufeng's words sounded normal enough, someone as perceptive as Lu Qijia wouldn’t miss the underlying meaning. With a cold snort, she began to reveal the true intent behind this phone call.
"I don't want to call you! It's mainly because Dad asked me to. He wanted me to remind you not to be too reckless and to have some sense when doing things."
Upon hearing this, Jufeng felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that after his actions last night, there was another struggle taking place on a different level. The An Family's retreat must have been due to Uncle Lu's considerable efforts. Sigh, it appeared he had underestimated the situation; without Uncle Lu's help, the An Family would have caused him quite a bit of trouble.
"Hey, why are you silent? What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, nothing much. I was just thinking how considerate Uncle is. It seems that my future father-in-law is really quite wonderful."
"Hmph, I can't be bothered to ask what you did last night! You men always act so mysteriously. Forget it, let's talk more tonight."
The two exchanged a few more sweet words, mainly because Jufeng had a thick skin, before slowly hanging up the phone.
"A-Zheng, tell Guo Hua to pay attention to the company's matters and not let the An Family find any loopholes."
Lezheng nodded in acknowledgment and mentally took note.
After having dinner, Jufeng and Tong Bailong went to school as usual, each attending to their own affairs. He Jie and Song Peng gradually became familiar with the operations of Hurricane, and everything returned to a state of calm.
...
A week passed, and good news came from Guo Hua: the company Jufeng requested had been established. With Guo Hua's market insight, he suggested forming a courier company, which both Xue and Jufeng agreed with since they had previously been involved in this line of work. The Zongheng Express Limited Liability Company was established with an investment of ten million and quickly captured a significant market share in the Northeast region. Zongheng Express not only handled deliveries but also began venturing into long-distance freight transport, signing contracts for an international logistics route right from the start, garnering positive prospects in the industry.
To avoid drawing attention, Jufeng rejected the idea of naming the company Hurricane. However, Zongheng was also a good choice and received unanimous approval.
...
Three months later, the hands of time had moved into the next year, but Huaguo's true New Year would still be delayed for some time. The coursework at Huan City University was nearing its end. After a semester of study, Jufeng had mastered quite a bit of practical work with mechas. During this time of nurturing, Hurricane's capabilities had visibly grown even though its chassis had not expanded.
All operations of Zongheng Express had also entered a steady phase, with two new overseas logistics routes opened—both high-investment and high-return projects—bringing an even broader smile to Guo Hua's face.
As Tong Bailong's birthday approached and Wenming's health improved enough for him to return home, Hurricane planned to hold a party for everyone to gather and celebrate together.
Wenming's return added another layer of vitality to Hurricane. Medical advancements were indeed remarkable; as long as one had money, recovery could be swift. By the time Wenming returned, he had regained about seventy to eighty percent of his abilities. Although no one except Xue had witnessed his skills firsthand, after some exchanges with Jufeng, he was treated with respect, leading others to naturally recognize his status. For now, there were no positions available for him; thus, he begrudgingly took on the role of Jufeng's bodyguard.
As the year drew to a close, Azure Waterside had lost much of its popularity. Aside from the Second Sister, the Eldest Sister had also returned home for the reunion, leaving the vast villa with only two people most of the time. Therefore, at Jufeng's suggestion, they invited Lu Qijia and Jiang Xue to join the gathering. By now, Jufeng and Lu Qijia's relationship was well-known, and privately, the younger brothers felt a great sense of pride that their leader could date a well-known beauty in Huaguo.
Moreover, with two charming girls added to an all-male gathering, everyone was quite pleased.
In winter, Washing City was particularly serene, but inside Canglang One Floating Life, it was bustling with activity.
With a large group of Hurricane members and two free-spirited girls, this winter evening became a unique sight.
However, tonight was destined to be extraordinary because an inexplicable dark storm would sweep across Huaguo.
This was a night that could be written into history—a thrilling night!
