Chapter 39 Business Needs Sustainable Development
Master Xin's gaze fell on Shark Nine, who leaned back in his chair and said:

"I'm definitely not handing over the people. Now that I've taken over the territory, it's mine, and don't expect me to give it back."

Xinye withdrew his gaze: "If Elephant wants to fight, neither of them has any objections. Shark Nine, the person involved, is now occupying Wenlong's territory... In that case, I'll arrange a talk with the leader of Lidong! Let's see what their attitude is."

"If they want to fight, then let them fight. If they want to talk, then we'll see how to talk."

clap clap clap!
Guan Laosan clapped his hands: "It's fine as long as Master Xin makes the decision!"

Afterwards, Mr. Xin, Lin Jianxin, talked about some other things, but they weren't very important.

Half an hour later, the meeting was adjourned.

"Let's go!" Shark Nine said, standing up.

After Chen Wujun followed her out, Afei and Curry followed behind.

Emerging from the back door of the welfare association, Shark Nine pointed to a secondhand shop across the street: "Didn't you want to buy magnetic field crystals? It's right there."

Several burly-looking young men were chatting idly by the door. When they saw Shark Nine approaching, they immediately stood up and said, "Sister Shark Nine!"

Shark Nine entered the room and addressed an elderly man in his fifties or sixties who was reading a book inside:

“My men, come back and collect the crystal!” Shark Nine said to the old man.

"Understood!" The old man glanced at Chen Wujun and memorized his appearance.

"He can come."

Even after leaving, Shark Nine continued, "The entire magnetic field crystal smuggling market in the East Ninth District is controlled by He Tu. And most of the Firefly Ointment used by those new martial arts schools is also from He Tu."

"The magnetic crystal you're using costs 8000 outside, but it's 5000 here."

Chen Wujun only learned that He Tu had such a big business after Shark Nine mentioned it last time.

He used up his last magnetic field crystal today, and he needs to bring money tonight to buy two more.

The group arrived at a bar outside the walled city. There weren't many customers at the time. Shark Nine ordered two bottles of beer and sat at the bar chatting with Chen Wujun.

"Elephant is a straightforward person, but he is actually very greedy."

"Tall Guy always waits until everyone else has finished speaking before he speaks last. He always stands on the winning side."

"Why do you think Guan Laosan said that?"

When Chen Wujun first heard Guan Laosan mention handing over the person, he was filled with murderous intent. However, Guan Laosan immediately backed down, which surprised Chen Wujun.

He's been thinking about it for a long time.

At this moment, Shark Nine asked again, and after a moment's hesitation, he replied, "A test?"

"Test what?" Shark Nine countered.

"Testing my senior sister's eyes: should she protect me?"

Shark Nine smiled and said, "He's testing Master Xin! He wants to see what Master Xin's plans are and how his health is!"

Chen Wujun was surprised by this answer.

"Is Lord Xin injured? Is he not feeling well?"

“It’s been many years!” Shark Nine said.

"Speaking of which, it was Master Xin who saved this walled city! You know that the East Ninth District government has always wanted to demolish the walled city, right?"

“I saw it on TV,” Chen Wujun said. His father would always scold him whenever he brought it up.

“Master Xin used to be a master of the Magnetic Field level!” Shark Nine said.

"Before? Not anymore?" This was the first time Chen Wujun had heard of this, and he was filled with curiosity.

"That happened forty years ago. Back then, the Federation wanted to demolish the fortress, and Master Xin caused a huge scene. Then Master Xin was seriously injured and hasn't recovered all these years!" Shark Nine explained simply.

"Not only has he not recovered his strength, but he's also old and has lost his spirit!" Shark Nine tilted his head back and drank a glass of beer.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wujun realized that Shark Nine... seemed to have a lot of opinions about Master Xin.

And Guan Laosan...

The relationships among HeTu's top executives are far more complex than he had previously imagined.

Moreover, these people only show a facade; every word they utter is full of complex intentions.

Compared to these people, I am too naive.

Chen Wujun vaguely realized that the martial world was not just about being good at fighting.

What others show may not be their true thoughts; every word they say should be carefully considered.

"Senior sister, let me toast you! No matter what happens, I will always support you." Chen Wujun downed her wine in one gulp, feeling quite grateful.

If it weren't for Shark Nine's guidance, I don't know how long it would have taken me to understand these things.

“You’re one of my people!” Shark Nine patted his shoulder.

Then Chen Wujun suddenly remembered that Master Xin was a magnetic field level expert 40 years ago, so how old is he now?

"How old is Master Xin?"

"I heard he's over 90! You can't believe it, can you?" Shark Nine laughed.

Chen Wujun looked surprised.

“Once you reach the magnetic field level, you can influence cells through your own magnetic field, making it easy to live to be over 100 years old. Although Master Xin has been injured for many years and his strength has declined, he can still extend his lifespan,” Shark Nine explained.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wujun's eyes immediately lit up with hope and longing.

Magnetic field level!
……

That evening, Chen Wujun took the money and bought two magnetic field crystals. After leaving the secondhand shop, Chen Wujun carefully put the two crystals away, patted his pockets, and felt that he was not in a good mood.

No money.

These past two nights, he's been paying for his henchmen's meals too.

He still has 2000 pieces of gold on his body.

'Spending money like water. Before, 20,000 felt like a huge sum, and I didn't know what to do with it. Now, I spend 25,000 on crystals a month alone.' 'Two crystals only last 12 days. I have to do something!' Chen Wujun thought to himself.

If you don't have money... you have to find new sources.

A living person can't be killed by holding in their pee.

Life must find its own way.

“That loan shark… Now that Hetu and Lidong are at war, no one would have thought it was me.”

"This is against the rules, but as long as no one knows I did it, then it's not against the rules!"

Chen Wujun's ideas are very simple and honest.

He went home, changed his clothes, put on his hat, put the folding knife in his pocket, and then went out with a bag of clothes.

After the fighting of the past few days, he's become incredibly bold.

These days, Master Bing's men are still investigating the murderer, but after several months, it's just a symbolic investigation.

Chen Wujun arrived at the alley where the loan sharks lived, but instead of rushing over, he waited in the shadows.

These loan shark companies all have safes, and the money is usually kept in the safes.

He has to wait for an opportunity.

After waiting for about an hour, he saw two people enter the alley. One of them hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind to go into the loan shark's den.

This is the opportunity for Chen Wujun and others.

Chen Wujun took a cloth out of his pocket, covered his face, and waited for five minutes before arriving at the loan shark's door.

This is a two-room house, one in the front and one in the back. The outer room is about 20 or 30 square meters, and a few henchmen are playing cards there.

There was another door inside, which wasn't closed, and you could see a few people inside.

Chen Wujun strode inside. The few henchmen who were playing cards looked up at him, and were about to speak when they froze.

The man who entered was wearing a hat and had his face covered with a cloth, leaving only his eyes visible.

Before they could make a move, Chen Wujun's hand, which was behind his back, suddenly moved, and two flashes of cold light slashed the necks of the two men.

The remaining henchman was so shocked that his hair stood on end, and he shouted, "Murder!"

He bent down to retrieve the tools from under the coffee table where they were playing cards.

Chen Wujun ignored him, stomped his foot and rushed into the inner room. He saw one of the men with his back to him taking money out of the safe. Hearing the noise outside, he turned his head and looked over.

After rushing into the room, Chen Wujun jumped over the table blocking his way and slashed at his neck with a knife while still in mid-air.

The man quickly dodged to the side and kicked at Chen Wujun.

Chen Wujun first slashed his leg with a knife, then stepped forward and kicked him in the groin.

He heard a breaking sound beneath his feet.

The other person tensed up, their mouth agape but unable to make a sound.

Chen Wujun knew that the other party had lost the ability to resist, so he looked to the side.

There were two other people in the room, one of whom was a henchman recruiting people at the gambling den, and the other was the person who had borrowed money.

The henchman reacted quickly, grabbing a vase and smashing it at Chen Wujun.

Chen Wujun dodged the vase and went around the table. The henchman tried to run away, but he bumped into another henchman who rushed in from outside. Chen Wujun stabbed him in the back with a knife and then kicked him. Both of them rolled on the ground.

Chen Wujun took two more steps forward and killed the other man.

Of the five loan sharks, the strongest was the new martial artist who took the money from the safe.

But they were caught off guard and were directly crippled by Chen Wujun.

As for the others, they were just ordinary henchmen.

If it were half a month ago, Chen Wujun would have had to put in some effort, but now they are almost powerless against Chen Wujun.

Turning back into the house, the gambler who had come to borrow money pleaded tremblingly, "Boss, I don't know anything."

Chen Wujun gestured with the tip of his knife to make him squat facing the corner of the wall.

Then he went behind the table, where the new martial arts practitioner was still clutching his crotch and convulsing on the ground. Chen Wujun stepped forward and stabbed him in the neck with a knife, then used his clothes to wipe the blood off the knife, but couldn't wipe it off his hands.

He got up and turned around, only to see a fish tank in the room. Chen Wujun went over and washed his hands with the water in the fish tank before putting away the folding knife. He then squatted down in front of the safe and saw stacks of money inside.

They range from five or ten yuan to fifty or one hundred yuan.

Chen Wujun estimated that it was at least forty or fifty thousand.

In addition, there are several watches and gold jewelry, which are probably pawned here.

He opened the drawer, found a bag, and stuffed the money, watch, and other valuables inside.

Chen Wujun took out a stack of IOUs from inside, looked them over, and after confirming that his boss was no longer borrowing money here, he put the IOUs back.

His father's dental clinic always gives discounts to regular customers, and Karen's dance club always gives away a fruit platter to big guests.

Businesses need to achieve sustainable development.

We must ensure a steady flow of resources, not exhaust our resources like draining a pond to catch all the fish.

Then he turned around, opened the drawer and rummaged through it. Finding nothing of value, he then searched the body of the new martial artist on the ground, taking his wallet, watch, and ring and throwing them into the bag.

In addition, there is a flat, round pillbox that looks similar to mentholatum.

When Chen Wujun opened it, he saw that it contained a gray ointment with some azure crystals and a cool scent.

Chen Wujun immediately knew what it was: the Firefly Ointment used by the new martial arts practitioners.

He then collected the bodies of the other henchmen on the ground, put the valuables into his bag, and kicked the gambler, signaling him to get lost.

Then he swaggered away.

They even thoughtfully closed the door for them when they left.
