Chapter 2601: Chapter 2602: Conspiracy

"How was it handled in the end? Such a serious matter should logically be dealt with severely, right?"

"I don’t know the specifics." Chen Yuanxing shrugged and said:

"I heard those foreigners have quite a strong background, and it seems like nothing came of it. That’s when I first learned Zhang Youfu had a valuable item, but I’ve never been able to get my hands on it."

The reason Chen Yuanxing revealed this to Feng Jiaming was because he realized that despite trying for so many years, he wasn’t able to make any progress and knew he couldn’t handle it alone.

There’s always someone better, and everyone has their expertise.

My brother-in-law dropped out of school in the eighth grade and has been hustling in society ever since. He’s more adept at these sneaky dealings than I am.

If the two of us team up, maybe we could succeed.

"If that’s the case, then it’s a bit troublesome."

Feng Jiaming twirled the beads in his hand, thought for a long time, and said to himself:

"If we can drive that old thing Zhang Youfu away or make him leave Shangqing Palace, the difficulty would greatly decrease."

"That’s easy to say, but the problem is he won’t come down from the mountain." Chen Yuanxing said:

"He’s been guarding up there for five years. Getting him to leave Shangqing Palace is extremely difficult."

"True, but a living person can’t hold it forever." Feng Jiaming said:

"But I have another concern. If I can get him down the mountain, will he bring that valuable item with him?"

Chen Yuanxing’s eyes lit up, "Let’s hear your method first?"

"It’s not complicated. We’ll use his family to lure him down the mountain. Once he’s down, he’ll be away from Shangqing Palace."

"Family..." Chen Yuanxing thought for a moment and said,

"He hasn’t left the mountain in all these years, so his family might all be gone."

"Let’s look for them first; there might be a chance." Feng Jiaming said:

"I’m just worried that when he comes down, he’ll have that valuable item with him, which would be troublesome."

"You’re so clever that you’ve been outsmarted by your own cleverness." Chen Yuanxing said:

"If he carries the item with him, that’s actually a good thing."

"You mean to have someone snatch it?"

Chen Yuanxing took a drag from his cigarette, nodded, and said:

"Even a tiger can’t fight off a pack of wolves. We just need to gather more people; the biggest problem is getting him down the mountain."

"We’ll have to find out more about his situation." Feng Jiaming agreed.

"Let’s split up. You start looking for reliable people for this task, make sure there’s no room for error." Chen Yuanxing said:

"I’ll keep an eye on the road construction issue and then look into his situation to see if there’s a way in."

"Alright, let’s do it."

Ring ring ring—

Just as the two were discussing, Chen Yuanxing’s phone rang.

"Keep it down, it’s a call from the head office."

He gave a heads-up and answered the phone with a smile:

"Boss Zhou."

"Chen Yuanxing, what the hell are you doing? If you don’t want to work, then get lost and stop being a nuisance here!"

Boss Zhou scolded him over the phone, leaving Chen Yuanxing at a loss.

"Boss Zhou, I—I don’t quite understand what you mean. There’s no problem with the work on Longhu Mountain."

"You damn well insist there’s no problem?!" the voice on the other end shouted:

"Longhu Mountain is paying for the roadwork themselves, and you’ve not only made them stop but also want to fine them? Are you out of your mind? Pack your things and get lost, stop being a nuisance!"

Chen Yuanxing was dumbfounded by the scolding.

He originally thought the head office wouldn’t find out what he did, but word reached them so quickly.

"Boss Zhou, let me explain. It was because their roadwork was affecting tourist numbers, and I was prioritizing the company’s interests, otherwise, I wouldn’t have stopped them."

"I don’t want to hear any useless excuses. If this isn’t resolved, you’re out!"

The company’s executive didn’t give him much chance to speak and hung up angrily.

Chen Yuanxing sat in the chair, looking miserable and troubled.

"Brother-in-law, what happened?" Feng Jiaming cautiously asked.

He vaguely heard the details but didn’t know what specifically happened.

"The head office found out about me stopping the road construction at Shangqing Palace, and they want me to resolve it, or I’ll be out of the job."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiaming looked extremely worried and awkward.

If his brother-in-law gets removed from the position as manager of the scenic area, it would be difficult to get hold of the valuable item at Shangqing Palace in the future.

So no matter what, this problem had to be solved.

"I’ll check it out first; there’s no way I’m leaving. Otherwise, all our plans will go up in smoke."

"Go quickly; I’ll wait for you in the office."

Chen Yuanxing nodded, grabbed his coat, and left.

...

Meanwhile, people at the scenic area were still waiting below for Lin Yi to deliver the money.

However, they knew Shangqing Palace couldn’t come up with the money.

But to embarrass them, they just kept waiting, since they had nothing better to do anyway.

"It’s been so long; when will you restore the road for us?"

Meng Yingcai approached Li Yongnian and questioned loudly.

"Well..."

Li Yongnian didn’t know how to respond since Lin Yi hadn’t said how to handle it.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Can’t it be handled slowly?"

"Alright, I’m not in the mood for your nonsense!" Meng Yingcai impatiently said:

"Where’s your person in charge? I’ll look for him!"

"My martial uncle is busy and has no time for you."

"No time?" Meng Yingcai sneered:

"I’m telling you, every minute wasted is money lost for the scenic area. Don’t blame me for not warning you if those losses are accounted to you."

"This..."

Li Yongnian, being uneloquent, was no match for Meng Yingcai in this matter!

"Manager Meng, President Chen is here!"

Upon hearing his subordinate, Meng Yingcai turned around to see Chen Yuanxing hurriedly approaching.

"President Chen, you’re here." Meng Yingcai changed his demeanor and complimented:

"Things are almost sorted here, and I’m urging them for correction."

"What correction? Get lost!"

Yelling, Chen Yuanxing shoved Meng Yingcai aside and said with a forced smile:

"Little Master, where’s your person in charge? I’d like to speak with him."

"Whatever you have to say, you can say it here."

Hearing the voice, Chen Yuanxing looked up to see Lin Yi standing on the second floor of the Blessed Land Gate.

"Daoist Master, this is a misunderstanding, a lapse in our management. You taking the initiative to pave the road alleviates our burden; how can we fine you? I’ll handle this matter seriously when I get back."

"Hmm? Who said we voluntarily paid for the roadwork?"
