Chapter 118 Black Bear
Chapter 118 Black Bear
Before leaving the underground warehouse, Cheng Feng retrieved the coral and put the spoils of this operation into the warehouse.
Some treasures should be left here as a foundation for the shop's success.
Moreover, for Cheng Feng, who possessed all the treasures of two small countries, this amount of money was just a drop in the ocean.
After returning to the warehouse above, Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin left the shop with the respectful farewell of the Xieling disciples.
I walked all the way back to my doorstep, and before I even entered, I heard the baby tiger's loud cries coming from inside.
Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin exchanged a glance.
"It seems we need to prepare to move as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to hide it from this little guy when he grows up."
Cheng Feng had already considered what Chen Wenjin said.
He also wanted to buy a spacious plot of land to build a base, but unfortunately the policies at the time were unclear.
"I'll have to trouble you, 'Shangsanmen,' to figure out a solution for this matter."
As Cheng Feng spoke, his eyes inadvertently glanced at a distant street corner.
"I'll have my brothers inquire around and see if there are any suitable plots of land up for tender recently."
As she spoke, Chen Wenjin pushed open the door, and just as the little tiger was about to pounce out, she and Cheng Feng quickly slipped inside.
After closing the door, Cheng Feng picked up the sturdy little tiger and said:
"Little Flower has gotten quite chubby. Once we have more space at home, we'll have to let her get more exercise."
"It's clearly a male tiger, why give it this name?"
Chen Wenjin was very dissatisfied with the name Xiaohua, as she felt it wasn't imposing enough.
Cheng Feng smiled meaningfully and said, "That's prejudiced. Why can't a male tiger be called a little flower?"
Chen Wenjin first removed the mask from his face, and then said, "If this little guy understood what Xiaohua meant, he would definitely bite you."
While the two were chatting, Huo Ling hurriedly pushed open the door and came quickly to them.
"Why are you back so late? If Han Qing and the others hadn't said it was all resolved, we would have been in trouble."
I was about to bring people to find you.
Huo Ling looked reproachful, partly because she was worried about the two men's safety, and partly because they had left her behind.
"There's no other way. There are a lot of corpse beetles the size of fists in that tomb. If we don't fill the hole back in, those corpse beetles will all crawl out."
As they were talking, Cheng Feng turned his head to look at the courtyard wall on one side.
At this moment, Huo Ling said:
"By the way, the brother who went to deliver the message to Uncle Chen has returned. He said the mission was accomplished."
Chen Wenjin's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.
"Where is he? I have some questions I'd like to ask him."
"I sent him back. Sister Wenjin, wait a moment, I'll find someone to call him here right away."
As she spoke, Huo Ling lifted her foot and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Just as she passed by Cheng Feng, Cheng Feng grabbed her arm.
"There's no need for that. It's more appropriate for someone else to answer what Wenjin wants to ask."
The two goddesses looked puzzled.
"Change someone?"
Cheng Feng nodded, then raised his voice slightly and said:
"Friends outside, do you think what I said is right?"
No sooner had Cheng Feng finished speaking than a person suddenly appeared on the wall.
He was wearing a black leather jacket and sunglasses even in broad daylight. He smiled at the three of them and then lightly jumped into the courtyard.
"Young man, you have a keen intuition. You must have sensed it when you were outside the door!"
As he spoke, he stepped toward the three of them, a carefree smile on his face the whole time.
Cheng Feng guessed his identity as soon as he saw his signature sunglasses and his agile movements.
This person must be the blind man known in later generations as "the blind man of the South and the blind man of the North," Black Glasses.
At this point, he should be making a living under Chen Pi Asi, and only he could have followed him all the way here without being discovered by the elite of the Unloading Ridge Army.
"Wenjin, your dad can be really annoying sometimes."
Cheng Feng turned to Chen Wenjin and teased her.
Chen Wenjin gave a helpless look, then looked at the approaching Black Bear and said:
"Did my dad send you?"
Blackie's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, scrutinized Chen Wenjin, and after confirming that she showed no signs of disguise, he smiled and said:
“We haven’t seen each other for a while, and the first thing you do when we meet is to interrogate me. It really hurts my feelings.”
Chen Wenjin remained expressionless and said softly, "Cheng Feng, help me beat him up."
Cheng Feng couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and then suddenly attacked Hei Xiazi.
Hei Xiazi first took Cheng Feng's punch with both arms, and then started to dodge backward while crying out in pain.
"Stop, stop, stop! I was sent by Boss Chen, he's one of us!"
From that seemingly effortless punch, it's clear that Cheng Feng is at a monster level; if he continued, he'd definitely get beaten up.
So they immediately became obedient.
Seeing that Hei Xiazi had dodged, Cheng Feng didn't make another move and stood still, saying:
"Remember to knock on the door next time you come to my house."
Then Cheng Feng turned to look at Chen Wenjin and said:
"I'll leave this to you. I'm going to change my clothes first."
After saying that, Cheng Feng picked up the little tiger and went into the room.
After Cheng Feng left, Hei Xiazi rubbed his arms and came to Chen Wenjin, saying:
"Young Miss, this young master is no ordinary man. Where did you find such a monster?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Ling became anxious.
"Don't talk nonsense. Sister Wenjin and him are not in that kind of relationship."
Hei Xiazi smiled meaningfully after hearing this, and then said, "You must be the Huo family's little girl. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Hmph, I know you. Wearing sunglasses in broad daylight to look cool, no wonder people call you Black Bear."
Huo Ling said irritably.
"Okay, this is not the place to talk."
Although few people usually pass by outside the courtyard, it's not completely deserted, so Chen Wenjing stopped the two of them.
After arriving in the living room, the three of them sat down.
"How is my dad doing now?"
Chen Wenjin placed a cup of tea in front of Hei Xiazi and asked.
Black Bear thanked him, then took a sip of tea and said:
"The situation isn't good. They're always hiding and running away, but business is pretty good. They sent me here to confirm whether you're real or not."
"What does it matter if it's real or fake?"
Chen Wenjin remained calm and continued to inquire.
Black Bear, with his legs crossed, lazily slumped in his chair and said:
"If it's true, let me stay and help you. If it's not, let me go back to work. Earning money is really not easy."
Huo Ling disliked this guy because of his relaxed attitude, but she didn't interrupt because of Chen Wenjin.
After listening, Chen Wenjin remained silent for a moment, then said:
"Whether you can stay or not is not up to me, but I feel that my dad needs you more."
"Don't worry, I understand. The son-in-law is definitely the head of the household, but I'm still part of the bride's family, so he should give me face."
Hei Xiazi's words broke Huo Ling's defenses again.
She glared angrily at Black Bear and said, "How can you talk such nonsense? What son-in-law? If you continue to ruin Wenjin's reputation..."
"Watch out, or I'll get Cheng Feng to deal with you."
The shrewd old man, Hei Xiazi, didn't care about Huo Ling's threat at all. Instead, he looked at Chen Wenjin with a smile on his face.
He had long noticed the unusual relationship between Chen Wenjin and Cheng Feng, but now it seems there are still people who are kept in the dark.
"Oh dear, someone's getting impatient. It seems the son-in-law is quite sought after. This makes me even more curious about what makes this son-in-law so special!"
