Stepping out of the villa, the night breeze, carrying the damp scent of the rain, rushed towards me.

Chen Feng took a deep breath and felt completely refreshed.

Outside the villa, Dazhuang and Ergou stood at the gate, braving the cold.

More than 30 brothers were already deployed around the villa, each armed and ready to go, watching every slight movement in the night.

"Brother Feng!"

When they saw Chen Feng come out, everyone shouted in unison.

Chen Feng stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over his brothers, a surge of warmth welling up within him.

"Brothers, you've worked hard."

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

"You've all learned this."

Chen Feng looked at everyone, his voice low but clear enough to reach everyone's ears, "Starting tonight, Madam Bai's safety is our top priority! Do you know who she is?"

He looked at everyone, his tone icy, "She's our benefactor. Whether we can turn things around, whether we can make money, whether we'll be eating meat or shit next, all depends on her. If anything happens to her, we'll be at a disadvantage!"

"clear!"

The crowd responded in unison, their shouts causing the night birds to take flight with a roar.

"From now on, the brothers guarding the villa will work in shifts of six hours each, fifteen men per shift. No slacking off is allowed. Dazhuang, Ergou, you two come back with me."

"Please hang in there these next few days, things will get better soon."

Chen Feng looked at his brothers and said.

Er Gou patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't even mention one night, I could keep watch for a year, I wouldn't hesitate!"

"arrange!"

Dazhuang nodded.

Chen Feng nodded, then said to the others, "The rest of you come back to the battlefield with me; there's another tough battle to fight tomorrow."

Second floor of the villa, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Bai Wei stood quietly by the window, watching Chen Feng's taillights gradually disappear into the night.

Her gaze shifted downwards and landed on the entrance to the villa.

A dozen or so figures in black raincoats stood there straight, their sticks gleaming coldly under the streetlights.

They were divided into groups of three, scattered throughout the villa, maintaining just the right distance from each other so that they could support each other while remaining vigilant on their own.

There was no whispering or looking around; everyone was as still as a nail in their own spot.

Bai Wei narrowed her eyes slightly.

She's been with Zhou Ming for so many years, what kind of people hasn't she seen?

Street thugs, casino henchmen, outlaws... all sorts of people from all walks of life.

But Chen Feng's men are indeed different.

That kind of energy didn't seem like that of a rabble; it was more like... well-trained soldiers.

"I should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight."

She murmured to herself, a slight smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips.

The image of Chen Feng's departing figure flashed through her mind again—broad shoulders, upright posture, and those words that made her blush and her heart race.

"I'll show you just how hard I really am."

Bai Wei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she spat.

"rogue."

But after she finished scolding him, she couldn't help but laugh again.

Outside the window, a gentle night breeze blew by, bringing a touch of coolness.

But a long-lost warmth inexplicably welled up in Bai Wei's heart.

This man... might really be worth taking a gamble on.

She turned and walked toward the bedroom, her steps lighter than when she came.

At dawn, at the Fenghua Battlefield.

As soon as the convoy entered the gate, Shen Zhou came to greet them.

He pushed up his glasses, his face full of anxiety: "Brother Chen, how's the situation? How did the talks with Madam Bai go?"

"Let's go inside and talk."

Chen Feng strode towards his office.

In the office, Monkey had already brewed a pot of strong tea. When he saw Chen Feng come in, he quickly poured a cup and handed it to him.

"Brother Feng, have some hot water."

Chen Feng took the teacup, downed it in one gulp, and then sat down in the boss's chair, briefly recounting what had happened that evening.

Bai Wei agrees to cooperate in principle, but needs to see a more detailed plan, and also...

He looked at Shen Zhou, "She wants to see how strong we are."

Shen Zhou's eyes lit up: "This is great! As long as she's willing to cooperate, Zhao Tai's blacklist will fall apart on its own!"

But the problem is—

Chen Feng's expression turned serious.

"Crow suffered a huge loss today, and he certainly won't let this go. Tomorrow I'm taking Bai Wei to a few places in the West District to reopen those businesses that Crow forced to shut down."

He stood up and walked to the map on the wall.

"That bastard Crow got thrashed tonight, he'll definitely bring even more men to retaliate tomorrow. So tomorrow's battle is crucial."

Da Zhuang spoke in a deep, muffled voice: "Brother Feng, the security team is on standby at any time."

"By the way, Dazhuang."

Chen Feng turned around. "What's the current situation with the security team?"

"Reporting to Brother Feng, the security team now numbers fifty-three people."

Dazhuang straightened his chest and spoke in a loud voice.

"They are all strong and healthy. There are thirty people who went to the west city today. A few of them suffered minor injuries, all superficial wounds, nothing serious."

Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction.

These veterans, along with their trained thugs, are far more powerful than those street thugs.

Tonight's victory against overwhelming odds was due to their discipline and teamwork.

"Shen Zhou."

"arrive."

"First, each of the brothers who participated tonight will receive a bonus of five thousand yuan. Those who are injured will receive an additional two thousand. We can't let our brothers feel disheartened."

"no problem."

Shen Zhou made notes in his notebook.

"Secondly, Bai Wei requested to see a detailed cooperation plan, including profit sharing and the division of responsibilities. Work overtime tonight to finalize the plan; I need to see it first thing tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

Chen Feng looked at everyone one last time, his gaze sharp and intense.

"Tomorrow, the entire security team will come with me to the West District. We're going to make a name for ourselves in this battle, and show those opportunists who really owns the West District!"

"yes!"

The following morning, at the Fenghua battlefield.

Chen Feng was already awake before dawn.

However, he was unusually excited.

The images of last night's fierce battle were still swirling in his mind, but what excited him even more was the opportunity that was about to arrive.

Pushing open the office door, Shen Zhou was already waiting there.

His eyes were bloodshot, and there were coffee stains on the temples of his glasses, clearly indicating that he had stayed up all night.

But he held the thick document in his hand like a treasure.

"Brother Chen, the plan is ready."

Shen Zhou adjusted his glasses and handed over the documents. "I've divided our cooperation model with Madam Bai into three levels."

Chen Feng took the document and quickly flipped through it.

"The first layer is resource sharing. Mrs. Bai lends us her customer channels, and we sell our goods through her channels, splitting the profits 70/30, with us getting 70% and her 30%."

"The second layer is joint operation. We'll send people to assist in the management of her quarries and sand pits, splitting the profits 60/40—60 for her and 40 for us. Once the situation stabilizes, we can gradually adjust the ratio."

"The third step is equity swap. This is a long-term plan. Once we've firmly established ourselves, we can consider integrating our respective industries into one company for unified operation."

"Take it one step at a time."

After listening, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction.

"Well done."

Shen Zhou added:

"Brother Chen, I've added a guarantee clause. If any problems arise during the cooperation period, both parties can terminate the cooperation at any time, and the profits already generated will be distributed proportionally. This will give Madam Bai more peace of mind."
