Chapter 1327 - 1327: Retired Scam Syndicate

"Gurgle gurgle..."

A sound emanated from Shao Baxing's stomach.

Xiao Feng immediately laughed and said, "Old man Shao, want some skewers?"

"Hmph!"

Shao Baxing snorted coldly, gritting his teeth and closing his eyes tightly.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng retreated behind the barbecue stand, sat back down on the small stool, with an unabashed smile on his lips.

Although Shao Baxing still looked steadfast, his body had honestly given the answer.

Given the current situation, half a day more should just about do it...

Typically, many people think that brutal torture is the hardest to endure.

But in fact, hunger itself can be considered a form of punishment, often more powerful than physical torment!

After all, you've heard of people jumping to their deaths, or taking poison, or hanging themselves.

But who has heard of someone starving themselves to death?

Of course, nothing is absolute, such people aren't non-existent, but they are exceedingly rare, like a needle in a haystack!

After the barbecue ended, Xiao Feng gave Shao Baxing a thumbs up with a face full of admiration and said, "Old man Shao, impressive. I hope you can keep it up and strive to be the tough guy who breaks the 'It Smells So Good Rule'."

With that said, he turned and walked out of the basement.

Shao Baxing suddenly opened his eyes and glared angrily at the back of Xiao Feng.

He didn't know what the 'It Smells So Good Rule' meant, but from the tone full of sarcasm and mockery, it was enough for him to judge it wasn't something good.

Meanwhile, Hui Yi and the others, who had eaten to their hearts' content, started to clean up the place diligently.

But before they could start, Xiao Feng's steps halted on the stairs leading up, he turned back and said, "Don't clean up yet, we'll have an extra meal tonight and grill something again."

This was obviously said for Shao Baxing to hear.

If it weren't so, the old man Shao wouldn't think in that direction, but with that said, he certainly couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

Just like a prisoner on death row, not knowing when the execution would be, then being informed of the exact beheading time.

This waiting is even more unbearable!

...

After lunch, Sun Shijie called his old brothers and sisters, skipping the break, and immediately wanted to get to work.

"Wait a minute, there's something I'd like to ask of you all." Xiao Feng intervened.

The old comrades were all taken aback, and Wang Ji promptly cupped his hands and said, "Boss, we're all working for you, just say the word for anything you need."

The others also chimed in, "Yes, yes, Boss, you feed us, house us, and pay us, so as long as it's within our ability, we'll surely do our best!"

Xiao Feng thought to himself, truly a group of old foxes with a touch of finesse, not a word leaking out.

He smiled and said, "It's nothing too difficult, to be honest, the uniform fall you all took earlier, I can vividly recall even now."

The old comrades looked at each other, each somewhat embarrassed to varying degrees.

"Boss, please don't make fun of us."

Xiao Feng said seriously, "This is no joke. In my eyes, that fall of yours really had style, had momentum..."

Hence, Wang Ji and the others were completely bewildered.

Faced with the eloquent, serious expression of Xiao Feng, without a hint of humor, the old comrades were stunned.

It wasn't until Xiao Feng said, "This failure is only because of a special opponent, no fault of yours," that Wang Ji's eyes revealed understanding, gradually catching on...

"Boss, who do you want us to confront?"

Xiao Feng gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Wang, as expected of someone who was once a teacher, you hit the nail on the head with just one sentence.

To be honest, that's exactly what I'm thinking."

He then briefly explained Bai Huanyu's intention to adopt Du Zhixiang as his son.

This time, Xiao Feng was undoubtedly targeting those people he had once recorded in his little notebook, the ones who went to support Bai Huanyu.

Since the Original Heart Pill has always been sold online,

so compared to those people, Xiao Feng has an obvious advantage, with no physical economy or business storefronts.

Targeted strikes, much easier!

Of course, to prevent countermeasures from the opposite side, customers joining later must also undergo strict scrutiny, this part can be left to Lu Yao to handle.

At this time, the old comrades had finished their discussion.

Wang Ji looked troubled and said, "Boss, we're all of this age now, the last time was out of necessity, we might not be able to take this on."

Xiao Feng gave a faint smile, as if he had anticipated this response.

"Mr. Wang, no need to worry too much. While you're doing this, I will arrange people to pretend as bystanders nearby to ensure everyone's safety.

Moreover, any earnings will be wholly yours, I won't take a cent!"

"This..." Wang Ji turned to look at his companions, clearly, what Xiao Feng said was beyond their recent discussion scope.

For a moment, the old comrades exchanged glances, finally looking at Sun Shijie.

Sun Shijie smiled and said, "No need to look at me. If doable, just agree. Boss Xiao always keeps his word, assuring your safety means he will ensure it."

Xiao Feng nodded heavily, and not allowing a second round of discussion among the old comrades, struck while the iron was hot, "Besides the money you'll earn through your own 'efforts', I'll also give you a separate payment.

Hmm... in terms of quantity, for each store you make unable to open normally, I'll give you ten thousand as a bonus, how about that?"

Ten thousand sounds like a lot, but divided among each old comrade, it's not even a thousand each, just sounds intimidating.

And sure enough, these words stirred up quite a few old comrades.

Not long after, the matter was formally settled.

"Boss, let's discuss the specific steps." Wang Ji said.

Xiao Feng's smile grew wider, nodding with a smile.

Thus, something truly eye-opening happened...

In just ten minutes, the old comrades came up with five plans, not thrown together hastily with holes, but each step carefully considered.

One step linked to another, each interlocking with the next.

They even inquired about the geography, adapting to circumstances, planning in detail the positions they would lie down in.

This left Xiao Feng speechless, wondering if they really were a retired bump-and-claim group.

Nevertheless, this saved Xiao Feng a lot of trouble, leaving professional tasks to professionals is the best choice.

Once the action time was set, the old comrades left under the guidance of Sun Shijie.

Du Qingyue then came over and said, "Before, when you said you were jotting grudges in a notebook, I thought you were kidding, didn't expect you were serious."

Xiao Feng laughed, "Being serious has its own benefits, don't you think?

Just like with you, I've always been meticulous."

"Pfft!"

Du Qingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud, rolling her eyes and playfully saying, "Shouldn't it be 'meticulous in figuring out how to fool me'?"

"Have I ever fooled you?"

"Haven't you?"

"Have I?"

"Haven't you?"

The conversation reached this point, looping into a deadlock.

This kind of back-and-forth went on for two minutes, before both burst out laughing.

Du Qingyue's smile gradually faded, with a mix of complexity in her pretty eyes.

No matter how light-hearted the jokes, she knew very well in her heart.

What Xiao Feng did was all to vent her anger, to vent the Du Family's anger.

All she could do for now was tuck away this feeling of gratitude, and treasure it well.
