Reborn in 1991, I opened supermarkets all over the world.

"Who is it?" He Cheng exclaimed in surprise.

Qi Bo, on the other hand, drove off first with a truck full of canned goods.

He Cheng realized what was happening and tried to run away as well.

But Jiang Ce's men told him to pay back the money first.

"Brother, I have to personally hand this money over to Brother Ce," He Cheng said nervously.

"I'm afraid you no longer have that chance." The speaker was not one of Jiang Ce's men, but Lu Zifeng and Gu Quan, who emerged from the darkness.

He Cheng was taken aback: "You, what are you doing here?"

Lu Zifeng fiddled with his Seagull camera and asked, "Is it illegal for me to come out with friends to take some night photos?"

He Cheng's mind was in complete chaos; he really couldn't figure out what Lu Zifeng was up to.

Lu Zifeng tilted his head back: "Pay back your friend's money first, otherwise if your friend sues you again, you'll be punished for multiple offenses."

In his panic, He Cheng completely lost his judgment.

After Jiang Ce's men received the money, they quickly disappeared into the night.

Lu Zifeng put his hand on He Cheng's shoulder: "Stealing collective property of a collective enterprise, if the amount is huge, is punishable by imprisonment for not less than five years but not more than ten years. If the main culprit commits the crime in a key area such as a factory, the sentence may be increased to more than ten years, or even life imprisonment."

Although He Cheng was terrified, he still gritted his teeth and retorted, "What evidence do you have?"

Lu Zifeng waved the Seagull camera in his hand, and Gu Quan cooperated by taking out a delivery slip: "That three-wheeled vehicle was going too fast just now, and it was accidentally left behind."

Lu Zifeng took it and looked at it: "Hmm, there's your signature and fingerprint on it."

He Cheng's entire body went limp.

He did everything so perfectly, so why did someone manage to find something to use against him?

There was no one else present when he met with Boss Qi.

Even Jiang Ce probably didn't know he would steal canned goods from the factory to sell.

Is it really just a coincidence?

Lu Zifeng patted He Cheng on the shoulder: "To be honest, I don't have any grudge against you. Yes, you took my job opportunity, but it was Wu Fucheng who made it happen. And you didn't know that Wu Fucheng tricked my dad into applying for medical retirement, right?"

He Cheng nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Brother Feng, I don't know anything at all."

Lu Zifeng comforted him, "Don't worry, since you have no grudge against me, I won't target you. Besides, I'm not a cannery worker, so I don't care whether you stole cans or not."

He Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Feng is a true friend. I apologize for all the wrongdoings I've done in the past."

Lu Zifeng sneered, "Don't be too happy yet. Find a way to steal Wu Fucheng's account books, and I'll return the evidence to you. We'll be even."

He Cheng's heart, which had just settled down, jumped into his throat again: "What did you say? He's my uncle. If something happens to him, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Quan, holding a camera in one hand and a shipping order in the other, said, "Minimum five years, maximum life imprisonment."

He Cheng: "..."

Lu Zifeng said, "Why don't you think about it the other way around? When you desperately needed money, why did you think of stealing canned food to sell instead of borrowing money from your uncle?"

Before He Cheng could answer, Lu Zifeng spoke for him, "Because you know Wu Fucheng won't lend you money to pay off your gambling debts, he'll even go to your house to complain about you, and once he knows you have a gambling addiction, he won't promote you to an important position in the future. He's unjust, and you're unjust, so what psychological barrier do you have?"

He Cheng was completely speechless.

All along, he had been thinking that if Wu Fucheng fell from power, his future at the cannery would be over.

But Lu Zifeng has leverage over him, which allows him to bypass Wu Fucheng and ruin Wu Fucheng's life.

"But he is my uncle after all, so I have to pay extra."

Lu Zifeng pulled out a hundred yuan from his pocket: "This is a deposit. I'll pay you another thousand after I get the ledger. With this money, you can easily start a small business in the future without having to be at the mercy of others."

He Cheng's eyes lit up.

one thousand?

He had never seen what a thousand yuan bills looked like when put together.

"Give me a few days," He Cheng said, closing his eyes slightly.

Even if he was stupid, he's come to his senses now.

From the moment Jiang Ce lent him the money, it was all a setup.

That's right, Lu Zifeng's target from beginning to end was not himself, but Wu Fucheng.

Even if you only use the issue of borrowing money to force him to steal the account book, he still knows what's important. Therefore, Lu Zifeng has not shown up.

It wasn't until he was caught red-handed stealing canned goods and got into a criminal case that Lu Zifeng made his real demands.

Looking back now, the sudden appearance of Boss Qi at the casino must have been part of the plan.

But by then, it was too late for him to turn back.

There's still psychological pressure involved in betraying one's own uncle.

It's better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me!

Afterwards, Gu Quan, puzzled, asked Lu Zifeng, "Why did you give this kind of person a thousand?"

Lu Zifeng smiled and said, "We are both men of the martial world. We should know that if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze. You don't really think I would let He Cheng go, do you?"

Gu Quan scratched his head, and after a long pause, said, "Give me ten yuan, and I'll go to the arcade to play for a while."

Lu Zifeng gripped a handful of grass.

Gu Quan is a very simple and pure person, and Lu Zifeng doesn't expect him to make any academic progress.

Actually, simplicity is good too.

He took out ten yuan and asked, "Have you accumulated any debts recently?"

Gu Quan said, "I owe five yuan and fifty cents."

Lu Zifeng pulled out another ten yuan: "If you're ever short of money, come to me. Stop eating and dashing everywhere and playing games without paying."

Gu Quan said nonchalantly, "That's right, I often go to the arcade on credit, but if I weren't there to keep things in check, I don't know how many people would rule the arcade."

Lu Zifeng: "..."

How come he's transformed into Cao Mengde?

Back home, while Lu Zifeng was taking a shower in the bathroom, he faintly heard his parents talking in the kitchen.

"I've met that girl, she's quite nice."

"What's good about it?"

"She's good-looking and speaks gently. She's also good at bearing children, so her babies won't go hungry. It's just that she's a bit older than our Zifeng."

"What does it matter if she's a bit older? The most important thing is to keep Zifeng in check and prevent him from going astray. A woman three years older than a man is considered a lucky match."

"What do you mean by 'holding a gold brick'? That's ridiculous. At most, you might be holding a gold bar."

"..."

Lu Zifeng was speechless.

Are parents all so sensitive about their children's marriage?

He didn't actually think too much about Qiao Ling.

Firstly, to repay the kindness from a past life, and secondly, to help her earn some money;

Secondly, borrowing her license and certificate would make it easier for me to sell my New Year's goods, a mutually beneficial arrangement.

How did it get involved in marriage?

"Mom, it's not what you think!" Lu Zifeng shouted.

I must nip these impure thoughts in the bud in my parents' eyes, otherwise it will be awkward for me to get along with Qiao Ling in the future.

"Get lost. It's none of your business to talk about your life's most important matters."

Lu Zifeng was completely speechless. What kind of logic was this?
