Chapter 142: Phoenix Wanli, Chess Piece

  Su Wen didn't know Yang Fei Xue was still waiting for him to chase after her. Even if Su Wen knew, he probably wouldn't go after her anyway.

  Yi Xue and Su Wen sat facing each other, with Xiao Yao jumping into Yi Xue's arms.

  "The little demon rarely gets close to people except for me, didn't think it would let you hold it."

  "This is the nine-tailed fox? Why does it only have two tails. The legendary nine-tailed fox isn't simple, but legends can't be trusted either. Having a little guy like this makes me feel warm and fuzzy."

  Su Wen smiled slightly.

  Xiao Yao and Wen Xin have nothing to do with it, it's just that Yuxue feels a little warmer now.

  "You want to see the master of the Feng family, I don't know what for?" Yixue looked up at Suwen.

  "Nothing escapes you, indeed with ulterior motives." Su Wen said calmly, "I and the Chunyu family are destined to be sworn enemies. Since the Feng family has already made an enemy of them, why not take advantage of the Feng family? If we can use the Feng family's hands to destroy the Chunyu family, then I will have one less enemy in the future."

  "It turns out you were planning to take advantage of the Chunyu family." Yixue nodded, "This is actually not a bad idea. The Feng family now sees you as their last straw, and if your demands are not excessive, the master of the Feng family will definitely agree. If you can also provide some support to the Feng family, it's not impossible to destroy the Chunyu family."

  "I think so too," said Su Wen.

  "It's just that you're using the Feng family as pawns, and it's hard to guarantee they won't harbor resentment towards you. It's better to be cautious. That world is indeed very tempting to us, but our steps can't be too big, or we'll end up getting ourselves into trouble." Yixue said with a hint of implication.

  That world is a world that transcends the mundane.

  "Don't worry, I have a plan. This time we're just taking advantage of the Chun family, and the Jibao pawnshop is just hiding in the shadows. Whether the Feng family succeeds or fails, it has nothing to do with us." Su Wen said calmly, "As expected, tomorrow the master of the Feng family will come over, and I'll have a detailed discussion with him then!"

  "I won't get involved in this matter anymore." Yuxue stood up. "The decoration of the office building on that side is almost done. I've given it a name, let's just call it Feitian Building."

  "It doesn't matter, it's just a name."

  "I investigated the Wen Yu Entertainment Film Company you co-founded with Pan Yu, and I think it has great prospects. So yesterday I invested another 200 million yuan in it. And I also gave him an office space on one floor of Fei Tian Building." Yixue said. "In addition, I hired a financial staff member for Fei Tian Security, who should start work today."

  Su Wen nodded: "You handle it. I'm at ease."

  ……

  The next day, afternoon.

  Su Wen performed the Yin Yang Harmony Swordplay in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and now he finally understood this swordplay thoroughly.

  There was a sound coming from downstairs.

  "Is Su Wen here?"

  "Who are you and what brings you to our boss?"

  "Feng Wanli, I'm here at your boss's invitation."

  Chen Yunhao looked at the man in front of him, who was tall and straight, with a buzz cut and a slightly pale complexion, but standing there he had an air of quiet confidence.

  "What's wrong, Su Wen doesn't want to see me?" Feng Wanli frowned.

  "No, of course not." Chen Yunhao smiled and said, "The boss is on the second floor, you can just go up directly."

  Feng Wanli walked towards the second floor from the morning.

  Su Wen stood up: "The master of the Feng family has arrived, please come this way."

  Feng Wanli saw Su Wen, he found that Su Wen was nothing special, standing there like a weak scholar, the smile on his face also gave people a very fake feeling, but that smile didn't seem to be pretended, it was very strange.

  Maybe this is someone born with laughter.

  Phoenix Wanli sat down and immediately someone brought a cup of tea.

  "Su Wen, about Feng Tong's matter, I'm apologizing to you here. I don't know if you can let him go or not. After all, he is a member of the Feng family, and I couldn't just ignore it."

  "What about Feng Tong?" Su Wen smiled, "Releasing him is not impossible, but he has already confessed everything about the Feng family. If I let him go back, he won't have a future to speak of, and it's certain that he'll be ostracized by your family. It just so happens that I'm short-handed here, how about lending me Feng Tong for three years?"

  "What do you want Feng Tong to do?" Feng Wanli couldn't understand what Su Wen wanted to do.

  "There's nothing much, he stole from my pawnshop, I couldn't kill him, so I punished him to be a beggar for three years, that's all." Su Wen said calmly, "Of course, not an ordinary beggar, can't starve or freeze, if mixed well, there might even be a future."

  Feng Wanli was even more confused.

  "Feng's master, if you don't agree, then I can only hand Fengtong over to the Public Security Bureau. Later on, being locked up in prison for a few years will be even more unbearable than being a beggar for three years."

  "Are you threatening me?"

  "Fengtong coming to Ju Baozhuang to steal things is a fact, and cannot be exempt from punishment. I can only give Fengtong two options: one is to send him to prison, the other is to let him become a beggar. Master Feng's family should also understand that if I were to release Fengtong directly, wouldn't it make Ju Baozhuang a laughing stock?" Su Wen smiled brightly, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

  "If Feng Tong is willing, I have nothing to say." Feng Wanli thought for a moment and said, he had already lost his reason, and this time he was asking Su Wen for help, so he could only put down his dignity.

  "I will naturally persuade Fengtong, and the rest of the matters won't be a concern for Master Feng's family." Su Wen had some grasp on this point. "Next, let's talk about the second matter. I heard that the Feng family and the Chunyu family have had a falling out, and it has already reached a life-and-death level. Is that true or not?"

  "Feng Tong has already confessed, why are you still asking knowingly?" Feng Wanli was somewhat displeased.

  "I've heard that the master of the Junyu family, Junyu Qingfeng, isn't a good person. The Feng family is one of the four great guardian families with a long history, so if I had to choose a side, I'd rather stand with the Feng family. Of course, I'm just saying this, from the perspective of the Treasure Gathering Hall, I'm just a slightly higher-level merchant."

  "Su Wen, just say it straight out, are you willing or not to sell me the Millennium Jade Dew?" Feng Wanli was straightforward and didn't bother to guess Su Wen's thoughts.

  "Sell, of course we have to sell." Su Wen said affirmatively, "I don't know how many chances Feng's master has if his injuries recover?"

  "Sun Yu Qingfeng is a true yuan realm beginner, he has understood the concept of Ming Jin, and his Tai Chi fist is quite impressive. However, I am in the middle stage of the true yuan realm, although I haven't grasped any specific jin, but as a member of the Feng family, which has a long history of inheritance, our martial arts heritage is much stronger than that of the Sun Yu family. I roughly estimated that if my injuries recover and we engage in a life-or-death battle, I have about 80% chance of defeating Sun Yu Qingfeng, and 60% chance of killing him." Feng Wanli was very confident.

  "Sixty percent certainty?" Su Wen shook his head, "Not enough, you need to have ninety percent certainty before you can kill Chun Yu Qingfeng."

  "What do you mean?" Feng Wanli found something was wrong, as if Su Wenbao couldn't bear the thought of Chun Yu Qingfeng's death.

  "Haha, a wicked person is best dead." Su Wen said, "If you only defeat Xun Yu Qingfeng, you'll still have to guard against him in the future. It's better to kill him to eliminate future troubles."

  "Are you trying to get me to kill Chun Yu Qingfeng?" Feng Wanli furrowed his brow, he wasn't a fool and had become the master of the Feng family for a reason. Su Wen's words were light, but they directly implicated Chun Yu Qingfeng, this was absolutely not something that could be explained away by saying he hated evil.

  "You can also understand it this way," Su Wen said, "I can sell you the Thousand Year Jade Dew, or even other treasures that can enhance your strength. What you need to do is kill Chun Yu Qingfeng and destroy the Chun Yu family."

  "You're treating me like a chess piece?" Feng Wanli was somewhat annoyed.

  "So are you going to or not?" Su Wen sneered, "I am indeed using you, but the Feng family has already made an enemy of the Chunyu family. Even if I didn't use you, you would still have to face the Chunyu family. Now that you have my help, you should be happy instead of thinking about being a pawn or not."

  Feng Wanli knew that Su Wen was right, but thinking that someone had actually used the Feng family as a pawn made him somewhat indignant. The pride of his aristocratic family would not allow him to pretend that nothing had happened, yet he had no way to do anything about it, and this made him feel very resentful.

  "Master Feng, make a decision now?" Su Wen was straightforward. "If you agree, I will immediately give you the Thousand-Year Jade Dew. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless, and watch as the Feng family disappears from China."

  "Needless to say, I agree." Feng Wanli gritted his teeth.

  "That's good, I'll provide you with help. Your Feng family just needs to think about how to destroy the Chunyu family. Remember, it's destruction!" Su Wen smiled, "By the way, I heard that the reason for this matter is because of Feng Ling'er. Why don't we let Feng Ling'er come here and I will arrange for someone to protect her safety."

  "You..." Feng Wanli pointed at Su Wen, his face red with anger.

  "Don't be angry, Master Feng, I'm also being kind." Su Wen smiled with satisfaction and immediately shouted, "Uncle Zhao, bring over two bottles of Thousand-Year Jade Dew."

  Zhao You quickly brought over two bottles of Millennium Jade Dew.

  "Master Feng, I've got it ready for you. Two bottles of Thousand-Year Jade Dew, and I'll give them to you at cost price, one billion per bottle." Su Wen wouldn't give it away for free to Feng Wanli. "Go downstairs and pay the money, then you can go treat your injuries. If there's anything else you need help with, feel free to come find me."

  "Hmph!" Feng Wanli coldly snorted, holding two bottles of Thousand Year Jade Dew as she turned and went downstairs.

  Su Wen smiled slightly and muttered to himself: "What a noble family, at the critical moment it's just that. Feng Ling'er is being held hostage by me, Feng Wanli will have to go all out, otherwise he won't be able to save his family. If the Feng family can destroy the Chunyu family, that would be best; if not, they'll at least have to cripple them."

  Yi Xue heard everything from next door, and her evaluation of Su Wen was only two words: Shameless!

  The Feng family might have had a chance to reconcile with the Chunyu family in the past, but now it's gone. Su Wen has blocked off the Feng family's retreat, and if things go smoothly, the Feng family will eventually be tied to the warship of Jibao Zhai.
