Underworld: Starting with conquering countless lustful beauties

Chapter 189 Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice

A cold glint flashed in Chen Feng's eyes. "He played too hastily in this game."

"There's one last piece of news, and it's the most urgent."

The monkey's playful expression vanished, replaced by a serious one. "According to reliable intelligence, Crow's gang can't hold back any longer. Tomorrow night, they're planning a trap at 'Juyixuan' in the West District, intending to force Bai Wei to sign the battlefield transfer agreement and oust her!"

"Tomorrow night?"

Chen Feng suddenly stood up, walked to the map on the wall, and stared intently at the location of "West District".

"It seems we don't have much time left."

"Brother Feng, what should we do? Sit back and watch them fight like dogs?" Monkey asked tentatively.

"Dogs fighting?"

Chen Feng's lips curled into a wicked and arrogant smile. "No, if they take down Bai Wei, we'll be completely out of the sand and gravel business in Donghai City."

He turned around, his eyes burning with ambitious fire.

"Since Zhao Tai wants to be the hunter, then I'll be the oriole unaware of him."

Chen Feng began to think quickly with a deep expression.

……

Late that night, the core members of Fenghua Sand Field sat together in the conference room, surrounded by smoke.

Chen Feng sat in the main seat, with a hand-drawn map of Xicheng District spread out in front of him.

Dazhuang, Houzi, Ergou, Shenzhou, and Masan sat on either side, each with a solemn expression on their face.

That's the situation.

Chen Feng flicked his cigarette ash, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "Tomorrow night, Crow is going to set up a trap at Juyixuan to force Bai Wei to hand over power. If they succeed, Zhao Tai can use Crow to control the sand and gravel resources in the West District. At that point, we won't just be blacklisted; we'll be kicked out of the game."

Shen Zhou pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Chen, I've done the math. Those quarries and sand pits in the West District have an annual output value of at least 100 million yuan. If Zhao Tai takes over this area, plus his Zhao family's real estate projects, he'll basically monopolize the building materials supply chain in Donghai City. Even if we wanted to import from other places, we couldn't afford the costs."

"Therefore, this battle must be fought."

Chen Feng stood up, walked to the map, and pointed to a mark.

"Juyixuan, the largest restaurant in the West District, was also a place where Zhou Ming often entertained guests. Crow chose to hold the banquet here to use Zhou Ming's name to intimidate others and discourage Bai Wei's henchmen who were still observing."

"Brother Feng, I've figured out that place."

Da Zhuang spoke in a deep, gruff voice, "Three stories, two entrances, and several alleys around it. If Crow were to make a move, he would definitely have people outside to trap Bai Wei inside."

"That's right."

Chen Feng nodded. "So we can't just charge head-on; we have to outsmart them."

He picked up a pencil and drew a few lines on the map.

"Monkey, you take five men and go scout the area around Juyixuan tomorrow afternoon. Find out how many people Crow has deployed and where they are."

"receive!"

The monkey nodded seriously.

"Dazhuang, you take thirty men and lie in ambush in the alley behind the restaurant. As soon as I give the signal, charge in and cut off their escape route."

"clear!"

Dazhuang clenched his fists.

"Ergou, you and the rest of the men guard the outer perimeter. If anyone tries to escape, don't let a single one get away."

Er Gou chuckled:

"Don't worry, Brother Feng, not a single one will escape!"

Shen Zhou frowned:

"Brother Chen, this means we've practically mobilized all our forces. What if something unexpected happens on the battlefield..."

"Don't worry, I've already spoken to Lei Xue, there won't be any problems in the next few days."

A glint of light flashed in Chen Feng's eyes. "Moreover, after this battle, we'll either soar to new heights or face utter ruin. There's no turning back; we can only charge forward."

He looked at Shen Zhou, his tone softening slightly:

"You stay on the battlefield. If anything happens, notify me immediately."

"good."

Shen Zhou nodded.

Chen Feng stubbed out his cigarette, looked around at everyone, and spoke in a deep, powerful voice:

"Brothers, you've been with me for the past six months, and there are some things I haven't said. But today, I want to lay everything out for you."

He paused, his gaze resolute:

"I, Chen Feng, am not content to be a scoundrel for the rest of my life. I will lead you all to climb up the ladder, to a point where those high-ranking people will never dare to look down on us again. We must win this battle."

"Brother Feng, stop talking!"

Da Zhuang suddenly stood up, his voice booming like thunder, "Fuck them!"

The crowd echoed in unison, their eyes burning with a shared hatred for the enemy.

Chen Feng's lips curled up slightly, and a surge of warmth welled up in his heart.

"it is good!"

He slammed his hand on the table. "Everyone get some rest tonight and be well-rested. Tomorrow, we'll go and confront that crow!"

...At the same moment, in Xicheng District, at Lanting Courtyard.

This once bustling villa is now deserted and as desolate as a tomb.

In the spacious living room, Bai Wei sat alone on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine in her hand, but she didn't drink a drop.

She was dressed in black mourning clothes today, her hair was casually draped over her shoulders, her face was pale, and there were two dark circles under her eyes.

Zhou Ming had been gone for more than half a year, and she hadn't had a single good night's sleep.

Those who once bowed down to Zhou Ming have now revealed their hideous faces.

Today you come and demand a sum, tomorrow he'll come and snatch another, like a pack of wolves smelling blood, eager to tear this lone doe to pieces.

"Madam, please eat something."

Butler Uncle Liu came over with a plate of snacks, his face full of worry.

"I can't eat."

Bai Wei shook her head, her voice hoarse, "Uncle Liu, Crow is hosting a banquet at Juyixuan tomorrow. Do you think I should go?"

Uncle Liu was silent for a moment, then sighed deeply:

"Madam, to tell you the truth, that was a trap. Going there would likely have resulted in certain death."

He hesitated, but Bai Wei understood what he was about to say.

Not going is tantamount to admitting defeat.

Those elderly people who are still observing will completely side with the crows.

By then, she won't have even the last bit of leverage left.

"I see."

Bai Wei put down her wine glass and her gaze fell on the portrait of Zhou Ming on the wall.

The man in the portrait has a dignified look and piercing eyes; he is the "Master Zhou" who once struck fear into the hearts of the entire Xicheng District.

But now, he is just a handful of dust.

"Zhou Ming, you've left, which is quite clean. How am I, a woman, supposed to clean up this mess you left behind?"

Bai Wei gave a bitter smile, her eyes slightly reddening.

She did consider giving up.

Hand over all those businesses, take the money and fly far away, find a place where no one knows you, and live out the rest of your life in peace and quiet.

But she was not reconciled.

She followed Zhou Ming for ten years, transforming from a clueless young girl into a respected figure in the West District.

Those men looked down on her, thinking she was nothing more than a pretty face, an appendage of Zhou Ming.

She was determined to show them that even without Zhou Ming, Bai Wei could hold up the sky!

"Uncle Liu."

Bai Wei suddenly stood up, a resolute glint in her eyes. "Pass the word down: I will be attending a banquet at Juyixuan tomorrow night."

"lady!"

Uncle Liu was horrified. "That's clearly a wolf's den!"

"I know."

Bai Wei interrupted him, a poignant smile playing on her lips. "But I have no other choice. If I'm going to die, I want to die knowing why. It's better than waiting here to be devoured."

She picked up the wine glass and drank the red wine in it in one gulp, as if to give herself a pep talk.

"Having come this far, I have no way out."

Uncle Liu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He watched Bai Wei's figure disappear at the top of the stairs, his old eyes filled with worry and heartache.

This poor woman will probably be devoured alive by those wolves tomorrow.
