Jufeng had no intention of leaving Pingcheng for the time being. On one hand, the situation in Northeast was still not optimistic; on the other, he was contemplating some matters in Pingcheng. During his time back home, he had truly solidified his reputation as the Underworld Young Master, but how many could truly understand the hardships and toil behind that title? Meeting with Chen Lao and Colonel Party Xueyi was no small feat; each encounter felt like a battle. Moreover, for Jufeng, he longed to unleash his skills on the battlefield, to fight fiercely and feel the thrill of victory!
The silent smoke of gunpowder was the most suffocating! Going alone to the United Heart Association and visiting Blazing Axe's villa in Pingcheng, facing dozens of guns pointed at his head while calmly savoring food! It sounded incredibly daring, but wasn't it just a gamble? Jufeng dared to take risks, but only because he felt he had a greater chance of winning. However, even a slight oversight could lead to unpredictable outcomes.
Jufeng's words in the villa were half right and half wrong; if he had been met with a group of armed men upon entering, even ten Jufengs might not have emerged victorious...
In the stronghold of Pingcheng, Xue Wenming and Tong Bailong were present. Jufeng stood in Mona Tower, gazing at the setting sun that seemed ready to fall, with flames outside and a fiery spirit within his eyes!
Jufeng's reckless actions did not escape the keen perception of Xue Wenming. How could he not sense Brother Jufeng's good intentions? Xue hesitated several times before finally speaking up.
"Brother Jufeng, what you did today was not right!"
Wenming was a man of few words but profound thoughts. His sensitivity stemmed from his wisdom and maturity; he had seen much and experienced more than ordinary people. He had truly faced life and death, allowing him to grasp many truths that others could not comprehend. Despite being hailed as the Gun God, he remained humble and gave others opportunities to shine. As a man, it was hard to find any flaws in him; the term "perfect" fit him perfectly!
Wenming's words carried weight. Perhaps figures like Chen Huoxiong and Tian Feng would find it unbelievable, but for Xue and Tong Bailong—who had once fought side by side with him—there was nothing out of line in what he said.
Jufeng slowly withdrew his gaze as the flames faded away, leaving only clarity behind. He smiled warmly, choosing not to respond to Wenming's words but instead abruptly asked Zhu Yao beside him, "Oh, I’ve been meaning to ask you—do you have a boyfriend?"
Zhu Yao was taken aback by the question, thinking it strange that while Jufeng was being criticized by his subordinates, he turned the focus onto her. However, she maintained her cool demeanor and replied nonchalantly, "No."
"Oh, that's perfect!" Jufeng grinned mischievously as he walked over to sit on the sofa. With a sly tone, he said, "Let me introduce you to someone—this is my good brother Wenming. Known in the underworld as the Gun God; he might be slightly inferior in skills compared to you, but if he has a gun in hand, even ten of you would have to surrender. What do you think? A hero paired with a beauty—consider it!"
Having spent some time around Jufeng, Zhu Yao understood his temperament well enough to know that his words were not serious. She simply tossed out a casual "Whatever" before turning her head away.
Wenming smiled helplessly; he knew that with someone like Brother Jufeng, some topics were best left lightly touched upon rather than delved into deeply. So he also turned away and left the next matter for Xue.
"Brother Jufeng, everyone is thinking about you and the organization. If you don't take care of yourself, then all your brothers fighting bravely on the front lines will be in vain."
Xue concluded his statement while Jufeng toned down his playful demeanor and replied earnestly, "I know you're all looking out for me. Honestly, I understand all of you brothers; you rarely speak up but quietly do what needs to be done so I can rest easy. With all of you around me, how could I not strive harder or take some risks? Don't worry; with Zhu Yao by my side, my safety is greatly enhanced. I'm also cautious about my life; I haven't wiped out the Unification Alliance yet or taken my brothers abroad to explore Outer Space—I can't possibly die easily! Rest assured; I know what I'm doing."
After finishing his words, Jufeng picked up a box beside the sofa and handed it to Wenming.
"This is a collection from Hua Gang over the years—a top-tier pistol from Huankezhao two years ago called Demon Eagle. A fine gun deserves a worthy wielder like you; don't tarnish its reputation."
Wenming was about to decline—not out of pretense but genuine concern for Jufeng's safety—when Jufeng shot him a glare that made him swallow his words back down.
Xue Yi had matters to attend to, and Jufeng took on the role of the overseer, which naturally meant they had to work a bit harder. Tong Bailong spent his free time helping train some fighters in Yanhuang City for Jufeng's Brothers, so he didn't linger either.
With everyone gone and the house empty, only Zhu Yao and Jufeng remained. Jufeng activated his playful mode again, seemingly unwilling to be alone.
"Come on, feel free to ask anything. Once this opportunity passes, I might not answer."
Zhu Yao had already witnessed Jufeng's extraordinary nature. If she had any doubts about him at first, they had completely vanished by now. Therefore, she wasn't too surprised that Jufeng could sense her unspoken questions.
"In the villa, how could you entrust your life to someone you've only known for two or three days?"
Jufeng smiled calmly, stood up, and gazed at the setting sun and the gradually brightening lights, murmuring, "Do you know why so many talented people willingly follow me?"
This was a question that didn't require an answer from Zhu Yao, so she remained silent.
"Because I trust them and am willing to entrust my life to them. Does that count as an answer?"
Later on, Jufeng received good news from Hurricane. Under the leadership of the madman, Hurricane indeed inherited the tradition of madness; they had just repelled Blazing Axe and were swiftly advancing northeast towards Jisheng. By dawn, they engaged in fierce battles with the Unification Alliance within Jisheng territory and achieved a great victory, solidifying their foothold there. However, Jufeng did not allow Hurricane to pursue further victories; instead, he planned to gradually relocate their forces and spread out slowly.
The situation in Hua Gang was somewhat more severe. Some territories in Liaoning Province had already been reclaimed by the Unification Alliance, making it difficult for any turnaround.
The next morning, Jufeng, Xue Wenming, Tian Feng, and Bill sat together for breakfast while another table was set aside for Chuyang and Liu Xing. Zhu Yao stood coldly beside them, having already eaten breakfast at some point but refusing to sit down no matter how much Jufeng urged her.
Midway through the meal, Xue suddenly recalled Hua Gang's situation and couldn't help but feel concerned.
"Feng, it seems the situation in Hua Gang is not looking good."
Jufeng chewed his food before nodding in acknowledgment. Once he swallowed, he continued, "Yes, they are struggling against the main force of the Unification Alliance while we are advancing smoothly. Snow Moon won't mind this disparity; however, it's inevitable that Hua Gang's supporters will feel discontented. That's why I let the Brothers take a break for now—to ease some pressure off Hua Gang. After all, this alliance primarily hinges on my relationship with Snow Moon and our shared interests. I don't want Hua Gang to bear too much pressure lest the Unification Alliance takes advantage of it."
Xue hadn't thought much about the break until she heard Jufeng's explanation; she suddenly realized that while Brothers were considering Feng's feelings, Feng's worries were likely even greater than theirs. Everyone was working hard; yet how many people in this world could truly handle such burdens?
No one's achievements come by chance; everything has its cause and effect. One must understand that this world is fair.
As for Hua Gang's matters, Bill suddenly remembered he had something to discuss as well. Once the others finished speaking, he said, "Brother Jufeng, the chairman of Jinhai Industries wishes to invite you to their headquarters in Yang City for a meeting to discuss further cooperation."
Bill's reminder made Jufeng realize that he still had a major deal with Huankezhao that he couldn't neglect. Since its establishment, Express Delivery had gradually risen to the top tier of the business world, a feat closely tied to Guo Hua's initial choice to enter the logistics industry. Now, Guo Hua had gone with Liu Gulang to the Magellanic Star to expand their business territory, and Jufeng was left wondering how the company was operating without him.
Xue Jian and Jufeng fell into a brief silence before he spoke up to report on the current status of Express Delivery.
"After taking on Huankezhao's large order, the company has established a subsidiary, Express Delivery Trading Co. Ltd., responsible for marketing Huankezhao's products. The results have been impressive; as long as we leverage Huankezhao's name, those wealthy clients flock to us, and the speed of capital return is astonishing. The original delivery service is also continuously acquiring new clients in Outer Space, showing steady growth. Before leaving, Guo Hua managed to recruit several business elites, so Express Delivery is currently on an upward trajectory. Our next goal is to become a five-star delivery company within six months."
A five-star delivery company would signify excellence in the logistics industry; as of now, there were no more than ten in Huaguo. If they could truly succeed, Jufeng's business development could rival that of Underworld.
Jufeng felt confident and instructed Bill to make contact immediately; it was time to set off. He also needed to discuss upcoming actions with Hua Gang to help alleviate some pressure on Snow Moon.
Before leaving, Jufeng brought Liu Xing along. He initially thought the young man would resist, but to his surprise, Liu Xing hesitated only briefly before agreeing. Even more surprisingly, Chuyang did not cling to Jufeng; instead, she asked him to take her back to Washing City, where she wanted to stay with Sister Dai. Jufeng silently prayed for a smooth journey and resigned himself to fate.
