Chen Feng had no idea that someone would indirectly get involved in a serious altercation because of him, and end up in jail facing severe legal consequences.

What’s more, he didn’t know that three of them had actually crossed paths with him once before when Bald Qiang, accompanied by two burly underlings, came to You Hairong to collect debt, and happened to bump into Chen Feng. Chen Feng even threw Bald Qiang’s business card onto the ground.

At that time, Chen Feng’s action really infuriated Bald Qiang, leaving a deep impression.

Especially since not much time had passed, as soon as Bald Qiang received Chen Feng’s personal information and photos, he immediately recognized him.

The first time they met, he was worried that Chen Feng might have extraordinary connections, so he didn’t dare to offend him.

But this time, with the boss personally instructing, and after confirming that he was just a countryside man from Qingpu Town, of course, he had no more concerns.

He planned to teach Chen Feng a lesson this time, fulfilling his work duties while getting revenge for the embarrassment of having his business card thrown away.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Just as he arrived at Yujing Hotel, he got entangled in this mess and ended up in jail.

And the outcome awaiting him wouldn’t be good; most likely, he’d have to go back in for "further education".

His intuition was spot on as he was later charged with multiple crimes, cumulatively sentenced to 8 years in prison.

Everyone involved got convicted too.

Even their boss, Bian Xiangrong, was sentenced to 5 years.

As for Xiangrong International Financial Services Company, of course, it was swiftly shut down, and all funds in the company account frozen.

In Bian Xiangrong’s view, the cause of this incident certainly traced back to Jia Yuanwu, as he got into trouble because he was handling matters for Jia Yuanwu.

Now he ended up arrested, while the "chief troublemaker" Jia Yuanwu was unscathed.

This made it impossible for Bian Xiangrong to accept.

Not long after he was imprisoned, his hired lawyer rushed over, and thanks to the lawyer’s intervention, he had more ample time to make phone calls externally and pull strings.

Ultimately, he obtained Chen Feng’s phone number and gave him a call.

At that moment, Chen Feng was browsing his phone alone in the hotel room, while Yu Xiaohui was accompanying the evaluation group. Receiving this unfamiliar call, he instinctively hit the hang-up button.

But unexpectedly, the other party called again, and upon noticing it was a local number, Chen Feng answered.

"Hello, you’re Chen Feng, right?" Bian Xiangrong’s tone wasn’t good, because truth be told, Chen Feng was also one of the ’culprits’ in this unfortunate incident.

Especially considering he was in jail, about to be hauled off for interrogation; being in a good mood was impossible.

"Who are you?" The caller’s tone was bad, so naturally, Chen Feng’s response wasn’t pleasant either, immediately asking back.

"I’m Bian Xiangrong, owner of Xiangrong International Financial Services Company. I’m calling today to warn you that Jia Yuanwu is plotting against you."

Bian Xiangrong didn’t waste too much breath and directly disclosed the information.

Though he figured Chen Feng couldn’t possibly retaliate against Jia Yuanwu, informing Chen Feng meant he was now aware of Jia Yuanwu’s schemes, effectively introducing another foe for Jia Yuanwu.

All in all, it was mainly to trouble Jia Yuanwu, ensuring he wouldn’t have it easy.

Chen Feng didn’t expect the call to be about this. Initially, he didn’t recall who Jia Yuanwu was, but swiftly connected it to the romantic rival he’d met yesterday, the general manager of Zhongsen Chain Supermarket.

Unexpectedly, that guy was plotting against him. After a brief moment of shock, Chen Feng wasn’t really surprised and didn’t doubt Bian Xiangrong was lying.

The reason was simple: if his beloved woman was taken away, he would also loathe the other party deeply.

"How do you know this?" Chen Feng curiously inquired.

Bian Xiangrong coldly replied, "Yesterday, he asked me to have someone follow you, and later wanted my people to intercept you. As soon as you left the hotel, my people would capture and beat you up to vent his anger."

Chen Feng slightly narrowed his eyes and in a cold tone said, "Then how come your men didn’t come across me when I left the hotel last night? Did your conscience suddenly kick in, or did you have a fallout with Jia Yuanwu?"

"That’s beside the point; just know that Jia Yuanwu’s a bastard, secretly wanting to deal with you. Just stay alert and don’t let him succeed; believe it or not, it’s up to you."

After saying that, Bian Xiangrong abruptly hung up.

Chen Feng held his phone in silence for a while before putting it down.

Not only did Jia Yuanwu have people follow him, but he even intended to have them beat him directly, which was indeed excessive.

Chen Feng squinted, pondering how to teach Jia Yuanwu a lesson.

But seemingly, he didn’t have much influence in Lu City at the moment, aside from his close buddy Qin Zhen’s capabilities.

However, over such an incomplete small matter, Chen Feng certainly wouldn’t trouble him.

After thinking for a long time, he eventually decided to wait until Yu Xiaohui returned and then discuss the matter with her.

Meanwhile, Jia Yuanwu, already closely monitoring Bian Xiangrong’s situation, promptly learned of Bian Xiangrong’s company being closed down and people being arrested.

To this, Jia Yuanwu also felt quite helpless. Personally, he had no issues with Bian Xiangrong, even admired him quite a bit; previous collaborations were pleasant, and he originally planned to continue working together in the future, but alas, Bian Xiangrong unfortunately encountered this mess and seemed to be doomed this time.

After a brief sigh of regret, Jia Yuanwu then focused on his work matters. He returned to Lu City yesterday and came to work early today.

He is the general manager of Zhongsen Chain Supermarket, overseeing more than twenty branches, and reviewing documents and signing papers alone takes up half the day, not to mention other work tasks.

Thus, his managerial role was certainly not easy.

Only after he finally signed all the necessary documents by noon, a glance at the time made him decide to leave the office for lunch.

Their Zhongsen Company Headquarters naturally had dining halls, both large and small ones.

As the general manager, he naturally dined at the smaller one.

However, today he planned to eat out, specifically at a favored widow’s home.

This widow, like Yu Xiaohui, had recently lost her husband this year. But she was two or three years younger than Yu Xiaohui, only about twenty-seven or eight, and had a daughter.

For a woman of this age, expecting her to stay widowed peacefully was nearly impossible.

Even in the olden days of feudal norms, expecting a woman in her twenties to remain a widow for life was a tall order.

Let alone remarrying, adultery was a likely scenario.

In modern society, restrictions on widows are much lower, especially for widows at this age. They’re likely to find another man to marry.

Even if they don’t remarry, getting involved with some man is almost certain.

It’s human nature, inevitable.
