Urban All-Round Master
Chapter 1839 - 1873: Assassination—Empress Jiuhuang
Evening... Lin Zifeng had not left the bookstore since Qing Chen arrived in the morning. Chuqing had already agreed to Lin Zifeng’s request to become the charity ambassador for the Huayu Group’s charitable organization.
This made Hua Yudie, who was reveling in the success, overjoyed to the point of proposing to host dinner!
It’s well-known that Hua Yudie is exceptionally stingy; getting her to spend money is harder than turning stone into gold. This time, she was so pleased that she decided to be generous for once. As she put it, now that she’s joined the Huayu Group, she won’t worry about food and clothing anymore. What’s there to save, right?
Chuqing’s eyes were newly healed, and she was overjoyed, but there was just one thing she wasn’t used to.
Holding the cane that had accompanied her for over a decade, she sat on the small stool, her eyes red but smiling openly.
"With your eyes healed, does everything feel more beautiful?" Lin Zifeng squatted beside her, looking at her.
"Brother, now that my eyes are better, can I live like all the other normal people my age? I can do everything now, right?"
"Hehe, silly girl, of course. Now that your eyes are completely healed, you can do whatever people your age do." Lin Zifeng affectionately ruffled her hair.
Her eyes sparkled with endless light, falling on the top of her head.
Now at the top of Chuqing’s head, the column of dark, diseased air had disappeared, and the root of her eye disease had dissipated.
As long as she takes good care of herself, there shouldn’t be any major issues.
Looking back, it was amazing that he could easily cure her eye disease with his extraordinary vision, something he wouldn’t have dared think of before.
"Thank you, brother. If I hadn’t met you, I might still just be an ordinary flower-selling girl. It’s you who gave me everything. You’re the biggest benefactor of my life!"
"Silly girl, I don’t like hearing you say that. What benefactor? From the day I acknowledged you as my sister, I became your brother. When something happens to my sister, as her brother, I naturally think of her wholeheartedly. And why do you always say thank you over and over? You’re really too formal."
Lin Zifeng smiled helplessly and touched her gentle face without speaking.
"By the way, brother, what should I do with this blind bookstore?" Chuqing asked about her biggest concern. After all, she had put all of her effort into this blind bookstore; letting it go would be such a pity.
"Don’t worry, I know you’ve put a lot into this bookstore, and it certainly has its uses. However, once the charitable organization is successful, how about we expand the blind bookstore? We can hire many professional teachers for the blind to help those in need. Then we can expand the charity organization so everyone who needs help can receive our support."
Actually, in starting the charity organization, Lin Zifeng had his own ambitions. After all, the route taken by South Heavenly Gate was complicated, and there were many enemies. His current focus was on winning the people’s hearts.
Once the South Heavenly Gate grows stronger and the public supports it, it will no longer just be an organization in name.
Maybe in the future, he will no longer manage the South Heavenly Gate, but the organization itself must not fall. It might even last for centuries like some organizations.
"Thank you, brother!"
Chuqing, with tears in her eyes, expressed her deep gratitude to Lin Zifeng. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Silly girl, stop always saying thank you. Do we need to use that word to express ourselves to each other?" Lin Zifeng sighed, his mind full of confusion. Despite reminding her not to always say thank you, she insisted on doing so.
At that moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
"Chuqing, get ready. In the next few days, the charitable organization of the Huayu Group is about to launch, and you’ll need to come up with a name for it." Lin Zifeng touched her face, then stood up to answer the call.
"You damn brat, Lin-boy. I’ve called you so many times, why didn’t you answer any of them?" On the other end, Jia Zhenjing was particularly annoyed. She had already called Lin Zifeng several times, yet he neither answered nor called back, leaving Jia Zhenjing quite frustrated.
"Sorry, Jia, I was caught up with some chores. But you’re not too late calling now. What’s the matter?" Lin Zifeng asked with a smile.
This old Jia has such a unique character that it’s not worth fussing over.
"It’s nothing major, but there are two things I need to tell you first, so you won’t be caught off guard when the time comes."
"Oh? What matters are so complicated?" Lin Zifeng responded calmly. Now that Jia Zhenjing had joined the South Heavenly Gate, she was very responsible for it. She managed any and all matters.
After all, besides Lin Zifeng, Jia Zhenjing had the highest cultivation level in Yanjing’s South Heavenly Gate.
"I’ve tracked down the leader of the Jiuhuang Sect. It’s a woman named Jiuhuang Fei. They say this woman has immense cultivation and strong means, with a deep, strategic mind. The battle on Wolong Mountain with the Heavenly Punishment Alliance had quite an impact on the Jiuhuang Sect. According to reliable sources, this Jiuhuang Fei has started contacting various factions for an assassination operation against our South Heavenly Gate. So, I’m afraid Jiuhuang Fei will be a threat to us.
In my opinion, before this Jiuhuang Sect’s scheme succeeds, should we take action first?"
"Jiuhuang Fei?" Lin Zifeng muttered, then smiled brightly and said: "The name is pretty imposing. I wonder how this woman looks."
"Don’t worry, she’s an absolute beauty. I’ve already gathered her information. Do you want me to send her photos over to you later?"
"Okay, send it over later," Lin Zifeng nodded. He was curious to see what this Jiuhuang Fei looked like, given her imposing name.
"By the way, there’s one more thing to report to you."
"Go ahead," Lin Zifeng said.
"The woman you’re looking for is named Su Yueying, right? I’ve had someone check her background. It’s quite miserable; she doesn’t have a good past. But she seems very interested in our Huayu Group."
"Oh?! How so?" Lin Zifeng stroked his chin and squinted, offering Su Yueying such favorable terms and conditions, he didn’t believe she wouldn’t be interested in the Huayu Group.
"Today, this woman was asking people about the Huayu Group, and she even bought many magazines about it. I think she’s interested in the Huayu Group. But, Xiao Linzi, let me say something, this girl’s background may be quite sad, but don’t be too soft-hearted, always begging her.
Just give it a little time, I bet this woman will definitely seek us out at the Huayu Group."
"Are you that confident?" Lin Zifeng laughed.
"Of course! I’ve even checked her call records." Jia Zhenjing said with a chuckle.
