Underworld: Starting with conquering countless lustful beauties

Lei Xue's eyes darted around, a hint of coquettishness in her eyes: "What benefit would I get from helping you?"

Chen Feng was overjoyed, but kept a straight face, and leaned closer with a wicked grin:

"What would you like, Miss Lei? How about... I buy you a teddy bear too..."

"Shut up!"

Lei Xue's face flushed red, and she glared at him fiercely. "You can owe me for now! I'll ask you for it later when I've thought it through! If you dare to renege on your debt, I'll make sure you're childless!"

"make a deal!"

Chen Feng raised his glass, "This glass is a toast to Miss Lei's chivalrous heart!"

Tangtang, watching the two exchanging glances, shook her head helplessly and took a sip of her juice.

This silly girl, she's been sold out and she's still helping the seller count the money.

But this man... does have some skills.

……

At dusk, at the Fenghua Battlefield.

After seeing off his two great-aunts, Chen Feng drove his Santana back to the battlefield, humming a little tune all the way.

Pushing open the office door, I found it filled with smoke.

Monkey, Dazhuang, Ergou, Shenzhou and the others were sitting around the coffee table, staring at each other, waiting anxiously, each one as restless as ants on a hot pan.

"Brother Feng is back!"

Everyone stood up in unison, their eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness.

"How's it going, Feng? That tigress... is she dealt with yet?"

The monkey was the first to approach, asking cautiously.

Chen Feng unbuttoned his shirt collar, swaggered into the boss's chair, crossed his legs, and wore a smug, irritating grin on his face.

"Is that even a question?"

He pulled out a cigarette case from his pocket, leisurely lit one, exhaled a smoke ring, and said smugly:

"It's a piece of cake."

"Holy crap! It's really done?"

Er Gou slapped his thigh and jumped up, "Brother Feng, how did you do that? What kind of charm did you use? Tell me!"

"Enough with the nonsense."

Chen Feng lit a cigarette, his expression turning serious. "This is all thanks to my sob story. If I can't find a way out of this mess, I'll suffer an even worse fate."

The office fell silent; everyone understood that this was merely a delaying tactic.

"Although I told Lei Xue not to tell her brother, how long do you think this can be kept secret?"

Chen Feng stood up, walked to the window, his back to everyone, and said in a low voice:

"Who is Lei Hu? A cunning old fox, shrewd and calculating. His precious little sister hasn't been causing trouble these past few days; how could he not be suspicious?"

Silence fell over the office.

"So this one-month grace period is utterly worthless."

Chen Feng turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and said, word by word:

"Optimistically speaking, we have at most ten days to two weeks. Once Lei Hu notices something amiss, he'll definitely escalate the situation. At that point, it won't just be a blockade; he might actually take direct action."

Da Zhuang frowned:

"Brother Feng, what do we do?"

"so--"

Chen Feng tapped the table, his expression turning serious. "We must seize this window of opportunity and find a way to break this deadlock. By the time Lei Hu reacts, we need to have leverage to retaliate."

His gaze shifted to Shen Zhou:

"How's the investigation going?"

Shen Zhou adjusted his glasses and took out a stack of documents from behind him, spreading them on the table.

"Brother Chen, I've been visiting the construction committee, several large construction companies, and some contractors these past few days. The situation is more complicated than I imagined, but opportunities are also hidden within it."

He pointed to a hand-drawn relationship diagram and analyzed it clearly and logically:

"Our sand and gravel business is at the mercy of others because we're at the very bottom of the industry chain. Above us are developers, in the middle are general contractors and subcontractors, and only at the very end do we, the suppliers, get our hands on the goods. If the source is cut off, we'll starve."

"But—" Shen Zhou changed the subject, pointing to a corner of the blueprint, "Although the Zhao family is powerful, they don't have a monopoly. Donghai City is undergoing massive construction, and besides the Zhao family's Taihua Real Estate, several other out-of-town developers want to get a piece of the pie, but they're being blocked by local forces."

"Using someone's strength against them?"

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

"This is water from afar; it can't quench our immediate thirst."

Shen Zhou shook his head, "What we really need to fight for is this—"

His finger moved to the other side of the drawing, where three words stood out: Xicheng District.

"The West District is the largest resource extraction area in Donghai City. Zhou Ming made his fortune there through quarries and sand pits. He owns three quarries, two sand pits, and a building materials processing plant, practically monopolizing two-thirds of Donghai City's sand and gravel supply."

"After Zhou Ming's death, all these businesses fell under the name of his wife, Bai Wei. But things are in complete chaos there now; Zhou Ming's former subordinates are all vying for power, and none of them can take control of the others."

Shen Zhou raised his head, his eyes shining:

"Brother Chen, if we can take control of the sand and gravel channels in the West District, our scale will double instantly! Then we'll control nearly two-thirds of Donghai City's sand and gravel supply. It won't be Zhao Tai blocking us anymore; he'll be begging us to supply him! Transporting sand and gravel from other places is too costly for him to bear!"

Chen Feng stared at the three words "West District," his eyes gleaming with a wolf-like shrewdness.

This coincided with his own thoughts.

"Bai Wei..."

He murmured the name to himself, the image of the charming yet helpless widow at the moon-viewing party surfacing in his mind.

"The key to taking over the West District lies with this woman."

"But Feng-ge, I've heard Bai Wei is quite difficult to deal with."

Er Gou scratched his head, "I heard that Lei Hu tried to force his way in several times but was stopped each time."

"That's because Lei Hu is stupid."

Chen Feng sneered, "You can't deal with this kind of woman by force."

Just then, the monkey raised its hand, looking mysterious:

"Brother Feng, speaking of Bai Wei, I've found out some really exciting stuff!"

"Just tell me what you think, don't keep me in suspense!"

The monkey chuckled and pulled out a few photos from his pocket, slapping them on the table.

"That kid Zhao Tai is up to something! I've had people following him these past few days, and they discovered he frequents an underground casino called 'Moulin Rouge.' The casino's apparent owner is an out-of-towner, but the real major shareholder is Zhou Ming's former confidant—nicknamed 'Crow'!"

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow:

"Is that the crow who's been pressuring Bai Wei to step down?"

"That's right!"

Monkey slapped his thigh. "Zhao Tai has been getting very close to Crow lately. It seems he wants to bypass Bai Wei and directly support Crow to take over the West District!"

"Snapped!"

Chen Feng slammed his hand on the table, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"So that's how it is! This kid has quite the appetite, working with Lei Hu to block me while secretly plotting to take over the West District!"

All the clues came together at this moment.

The alliance between Zhao Tai and Lei Hu is not solid.

While using Lei Hu to deal with him, Zhao Tai was also secretly plotting to seize control of the West District, hoping to monopolize this lucrative area.

"interesting."

Chen Feng stroked his chin, his smile growing wider.

"Since Zhao Tai wants to support Crow against Bai Wei, let's do the opposite."

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sky outside, which was gradually darkening.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Bai Wei is currently surrounded by enemies and is being suffocated by crows. If someone could offer help in her time of need..."

Chen Feng turned around, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and began to give orders:

"Monkey, keep an eye on Crow and Zhao Tai. Find out their background, their movements, and especially when they plan to make a move against Bai Wei. Get all the details out of me."

"Shen Zhou, prepare a detailed cooperation plan with attractive terms that Bai Wei can't refuse."

"Dazhuang, Ergou, assemble the elite security team and have them on standby. We might have a tough battle in the next few days."

The crowd responded in unison:

"Yes!"

Chen Feng stubbed out his cigarette, a domineering glint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"We can't touch Lei Hu for now, but we must make our move in the West District before Zhao Tai does."

A meaningful smile curved his lips, and his voice was deep:

"As long as we take control of the sand and gravel channels from Bai Wei, even if Lei Hu discovers the truth and escalates his actions, we'll have the leverage to challenge him."

"And that pretty widow..." Chen Feng's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
