Chapter 1203 - 1203: I'm Here to Help You

In the parking lot of the resort, Xiao Feng sat in Wei Jianhua's car, while outside stood a team of bodyguards, facing away from the vehicle as they stood guard.

"Brother Xiao, you've asked to see me alone. Is there something going on?" Wei Jianhua said gently with a smile.

"Indeed, there's something very important," replied Xiao Feng.

Wei Jianhua's eyes lit up, "Then please speak. If it's something I can help with, I won't refuse!"

But Xiao Feng shook his head, "I'm not asking for your help. On the contrary, I'm here to help you."

"Help me?" Wei Jianhua was taken aback, then quickly asked, "Specifically help me with what? Please, Brother Xiao, explain in detail."

Xiao Feng glanced at the driver seated at the wheel, then looked at the bodyguards standing outside, and said, "It's a serious matter. It's better to have these people leave."

The driver at the wheel, upon hearing this, immediately turned to persuade Wei Jianhua to refuse, but Wei Jianhua waved off the idea in advance.

Slightly hesitant, Wei Jianhua took out two packs of cigarettes from the pocket in the front seat cover, handed them to the driver, and said, "You go, take them outside to smoke a cigarette, keep a distance."

"But..."

"No buts. I feel an immediate affinity with Brother Xiao; how could he possibly harm me?"

Seeing Wei Jianhua's determined attitude, the driver had to take the cigarette packs and, after getting off the car, beckon the bodyguards to walk away.

"Brother Xiao, can you speak now?" Wei Jianhua asked.

Xiao Feng nodded, "What I'm about to say may touch on a sensitive point for Brother Wei, but please believe, I'm not trying to unveil wounds. Truly, I wish to help you."

"Oh?" Wei Jianhua couldn't help but wrinkle his brow, then quickly relaxed, smiling, "Brother Xiao, please speak."

Xiao Feng, not wanting to be overly polite, straightforwardly said, "I heard that Brother Wei suffers from a hidden ailment, is it true?"

As the words fell, Wei Jianhua's face visibly changed back and forth in color.

From red to white, white to purple, purple to black...

Going back and forth like a merry-go-round, Wei Jianhua sighed heavily, saying, "Indeed it's true, and for this reason, I strive desperately, not letting anyone underestimate me."

Xiao Feng ignored these remarks, reached into his pocket, and took out an enhanced version of the Original Heart Pill he had brought along, handing it over, "Brother Wei can try this."

Wei Jianhua took it, looked at it, casually pocketed it, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Xiao."

Witnessing the reaction, Xiao Feng realized that he had probably tried too many ineffective medicines before and no longer held much hope.

As expected, Wei Jianhua confessed, "Truthfully, I've taken numerous things like both traditional and modern medicine, folk remedies, and herbal medicines, but they mostly lack significant effect.

Nonetheless, Brother Xiao's consideration touches me deeply. Even if it's futile, I still owe you a favor."

"Then I'll take my leave." Xiao Feng opened the door, intending to get out.

But suddenly he thought of Bai Huanyu and Bai Tieniu's "profound father-son bond," and turned back to advise, "When you take it, it's best to have a woman nearby, or else unintended consequences might arise."

"Hmm?" Wei Jianhua froze at that instant, and by the time he processed the remark, Xiao Feng had already gotten out and walked away.

He fetched the Original Heart Pill from his breast pocket and recalled Xiao Feng's sincere reminder, feeling somewhat skeptical.

Could it truly work?

But still, it's best not to raise hope too high, to avoid greater disappointment.

...

"Brother Ba, you're finally back!"

Seeing Xiao Feng return safe and sound, Pei Dengke sighed as if relieved, saying, "For the two hours you were gone, my heart was all over the place, really worried something happened to you.

Wang Zhiping, that bastard, didn't give you a hard time, did he?"

Xiao Feng laughed, "Heroes feast, without some schemes, can it be called a Heroes feast?"

Speaking, he briefly recounted what transpired at the dining table.

Pei Dengke was stunned listening, and by the end, looked at Xiao Feng with eyes full of admiration.

"Brother Ba, your ability to make both Wei Jianhua and Qiu Junxian see you differently truly surpasses my expectations."

Xiao Feng sighed lightly, "Dengke, this mindset of yours really needs to change. Does it truly matter if they view you favorably or unfavorably?

If he views you favorably, will he share half the profits he earned with you?

Or if he views you unfavorably, will you give him half of your money?"

"Uh..." Pei Dengke was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

"We just need to focus on doing our best. Even if no one views you as human, don't you still have to live on?" Xiao Feng said candidly.

Pei Dengke bowed his head, humbly agreeing, "Brother Ba is right. What I admire most about Brother Xiao is this very perspective of his.

During the assessment, when he sold supplies, that idea, even with a hundred brains, I fear I couldn't conceive it!"

Xiao Feng changed the topic, "Let's drop this, and focus on how to deal with your Weiwei tonight."

Pei Dengke nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, almost forgot the true matter. Here's my plan, see if it works, Brother Ba..."

"…" Xiao Feng.

Damn, why am I wasting time discussing Weiwei with this guy? Isn't this just creating trouble for myself?

...

As night fell, inside Fujuyuan Hotel, a woman with bruises around her mouth sat alone in a corner, drinking by herself.

She wore a smile, though it looked somewhat mocking.

Pouring another glass, the woman downed half in one gulp.

The spiciness of the liquor twisted her delicate features together, but after the burn subsided, her expression relaxed, feeling a sense of relief.

"Telling me to leave? Fine, then I'll go, it's not my home anyway..."

The woman pressed her palm against her forehead, murmuring to herself.

At that moment, out of the corner of her eye appeared two individuals, one after the other, walking in through the entrance.

After saying a few words at the front, a waiter led the two towards the second floor.

"Brother Ba, don't look down on this small establishment, their specialty dishes are quite good. I used to bring Weiwei here often."

Upon hearing this, the woman scoffed, whispering, "People like me who drink alone are indeed rare..."

Moments later, the woman sat up straight, her eyes carrying an uncertain glow, perhaps of surprise, or something else.

Was what I just overheard actually Brother Ba?

And that voice indeed sounded like Pei Dengke's?

Upon realizing this, her drunkenness almost instantly dissipated.

The woman hurried to the front desk and asked, "Did the people who went up just now include someone named Pei Dengke?"

The front desk staff proceeded as per policy, "Sorry, we strictly protect our customers' information..."

"Clap!"

Without a word, the woman slapped five hundred bucks onto the counter.

"You've misunderstood; we really have rules..."

"Clap!"

Another five hundred slammed on the counter.

The front desk staff looked around, then quickly pocketed the money with a welcoming smile, "Please wait, I'll check for you right now."

After some operations, the front desk staff replied, "Indeed, the table reservation is under Pei Dengke."

The woman slowly nodded, a smile curling at her lips...
