Lin Feng's mansion.
"Hong Jiang, the third leader of the Hongyi Gang, Master Star Talisman."
"He has recently risen to power. He is low-key and steady. Not long after joining the Hongyi Gang, he has already risen to the position of the third leader. He is deeply trusted."
…
Carefully reading the information in his hands, Lin Feng frowned slightly.
This was the information his foster father obtained after seven days of investigation. However, it did not seem to be of much use.
"Hong Jiang hides his abilities and does not reveal himself. However, not long after joining the Hongyi Gang, he has been promoted step by step. This shows his ability."
"It feels like he is very similar to Lam Tok Tei."
Lin Feng nodded. He suddenly understood.
The two of them were obviously the same type of person. They were extremely good at hiding themselves.
"Pa!" Closing the information, Lin Feng's eyes flashed.
The information did not mention Hong Jiang's past. In fact, it was difficult to investigate with the family's ability. Hong Jiang was a very mysterious person. He was very good at keeping secrets. Even the family did not know his identity before he joined the Hongyi Gang.
"But it's no wonder. The Lin clan is not good at collecting information."
"Moreover, the Hongyi Gang is too powerful. Foster father has to be careful and not make any mistakes."
"It's quite troublesome."
Lin Feng felt a slight headache.
How could he do anything if he could not confirm Hong Jiang's identity?
Could he kill him just because of a groundless speculation? It was better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. This was Lam Tok Tei's style, not his. At the very least, he could not do it if he did not have an eighty percent chance of success.
"If there is no other way, I can only test him."
"But with this person's personality, I'm afraid it won't work." Lin Feng shook his head.
For a person as meticulous as Lam Tok Tei, ordinary schemes would definitely not work on him.
"Hmm …"
"Is there any other way to find out more?"
Lin Feng was lost in thought.
At this moment —
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Lin Feng came back to his senses and said.
If it wasn't something important, Guan Zhong wouldn't come over to disturb him.
The doors slowly opened. Guan Zhong cupped his hands together and said, "Young master, a guest has come to visit."
"Guest?" Lin Feng was startled.
"It's Lin Zhenyun. He brought a lot of money and gifts." Guan Zhong said slowly, "He's waiting in the living room. Would you like to meet him, Young Master?"
Lin Feng's eyes flashed, but he didn't know why Lin Zhenyun had come.
In fact, he was not familiar with him at all. It could even be said that he had never met him before. However, he had interacted with his son, Lin Xiong, a few times, and there had been some 'unpleasant' incidents. Logically speaking, his relationship with this family should not be good, but this time, why did Lin Zhenyun send a gift?
"Okay." Lin Feng stood up and stepped out of the door.
Since they came to visit with sincerity, it would be too arrogant of him not to even meet them.
…
"Oh?" Lin Feng was surprised.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw the treasures that almost filled the entire hall. There were gold chests after gold chests, all of which were extremely valuable.
"He seems to be quite rich." Lin Feng smiled. He knew a thing or two about Lin Zhenyun. Before him, this person was considered a miracle of the Lin clan. As an outsider, he rose several levels and became a third-grade branch family warrior. After that, he married the daughter of the previous clan leader and was promoted to a second-grade sub-direct family warrior. He was envied by others.
He was quite capable!
To be able to marry the daughter of the clan leader, Lin Zhenyun was naturally very rich.
Lin Feng looked at the center of the hall. The man with a face full of smiles was nodding at him, looking quite friendly. This kind of flattering expression, no matter how one looked at it, did not seem like he was one of the top five experts in the clan. Behind him, a young man was baring his white teeth at him. His smile was a little unnatural.
It was Lin Xiong!
"Haha, Brother Lin Feng, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Lin Zhenyun did not shy away and greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, senior." Lin Feng smiled.
Although with his current strength, he was stronger than Lin Zhenyun.
But there was no harm in calling him senior.
"What senior? You're treating me like an outsider. We're all from the same clan. You don't mind calling me Uncle Yun." Lin Zhenyun smiled.
"Okay." Lin Feng nodded, "I wonder why Uncle Yun is here today …" He went straight to the point. He did not want to waste time on meaningless social interactions. Looking straight at Lin Zhenyun, Lin Feng went straight to the point.
"It's like this, Brother Lin Feng." Lin Zhenyun laughed heartily, "I'm here to apologize."
"Apologize?" Lin Feng was slightly surprised.
"Come out!" Lin Zhenyun's expression changed as he turned his head and shouted. With a shout, Lin Xiong walked out from behind with an ashen face. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at people. Lin Zhenyun immediately shouted angrily, "You unfilial son, you even dare to offend Young Master Lin Feng. Hurry up and apologize!"
Lin Feng's eyes flashed and his heart stopped.
Did he come to improve their 'relationship'?
"I'm sorry, Young Master Lin Feng. I had eyes but did not recognize Mount Tai. If I have offended you, please don't take it to heart." Lin Xiong smiled shyly, his expression extremely unnatural. As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhenyun stood beside Lin Xiong and shouted, "Unfilial son, you actually caused trouble for me!"
Lin Feng could not help but smile indifferently, "Uncle Yun, there's no need to be like this. I've already forgotten about what happened before."
Lin Xiong and Lin Fan were different. Although there were some conflicts before, it was not a life and death situation. He did not take such small matters to heart.
If he had to fuss over everything, wouldn't it be too tiring? Not to mention that Lin Zhenyun had personally come to visit, he had to give him some face.
"I knew that Lin Feng would not fuss over these juniors." Lin Zhenyun smiled and put on a high hat. Lin Feng could not help but smile. His eyes swept across the gifts in the hall and said, "Uncle Yun, I accept your apology. As the saying goes, one should not receive a reward without any effort. It's better to take these gifts back."
Lin Zhenyun's eyes flashed and he smiled, "If Brother Lin Feng wants to 'contribute', with your current status, it's just a matter of a sentence."
"Oh?" Lin Feng smiled slightly.
He had already guessed that this should be the main topic.
Otherwise, if it was purely to improve their relationship, why would they need so many expensive gifts?
His status?
"Clan Leader's adopted son." Lin Feng immediately understood and secretly thought that this power was indeed useful. Previously, he was disdainful of you, but now he was using his warm face to greet a cold butt. He even asked his own son to lower his head and admit his mistake. It could be said that he had completely thrown his face aside.
All because of the change in his status.
Since he had already started, Lin Zhenyun continued, "I heard that there are a few vacant positions in the clan. I wonder if Brother Lin Feng could say a few good words in front of the Clan Leader?"
Lin Feng's eyes flashed. He had heard his adopted father mention this before.
Lin Zhongxian, Lam Tok Tei, Lin Shi, and Lin Mo were originally the upper echelons of the clan. Now that they had all fallen, their positions naturally needed to be replaced. The position of Grand Elder Lin Zhongxian was now held by Lin Yan. The position of Grand Elder Lin Shi was promoted by Second Elder Lin Chun. However, the position of Hall Leader of the Law Enforcement Hall and the position of Vice Clan Leader of Lam Tok Tei were still vacant.
"Uncle Yun wants to take the position of Vice Clan Leader?" Lin Feng said softly.
From what he knew, there were more than one or two people who were eyeing this position.
"How could I?" Lin Zhenyun waved his hand and said, "I'm too inexperienced. Plus, the position of Vice Clan Leader is too important. Even if I could sit there, it would be like sitting on a carpet of needles." Lin Zhenyun smiled. His eyes flashed, "I just want to replace Lin Mo and take the position of Hall Leader of the Law Enforcement Hall."
"Oh?" Lin Feng said curiously, "This is a strenuous and unrewarding task."
Offending too many people and not addressing too many people. Sitting in this position, not only would there be no benefits, there was also a considerable risk.
"It's fine, it's fine." Lin Zhenyun smiled, "If Brother Lin Feng could say a few good words in front of the Clan Leader, Uncle Yun would definitely be moved to tears." Lin Zhenyun's eyes scanned the boxes of wealth around him. He was very confident. This time, he had paid a huge price. A total of one thousand star crystals was equivalent to one hundred billion Dou Spirit Coins. Normal Star Realm experts didn't even have that much wealth.
Lin Feng was a young martial artist who had just entered the world. He definitely wouldn't reject such a 'rich' temptation.
It should be said that he couldn't reject it at all!
"Brother Lin Feng, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please don't reject it." Lin Zhenyun smiled and said, "If it can be done, Uncle Yun will give you another reward. This …" Before he finished speaking, a clamor came from outside the hall. Lin Zhenyun frowned slightly. He had just said the word 'one' when he was interrupted.
The person who came was the housekeeper, Guan Zhong.
"Young Master, a guest has arrived." Guan Zhong cupped his hands and said.
"Oh?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up. He found it funny and said, "What day is it today? Guests have arrived like clouds."
Lin Zhenyun's expression changed slightly, but he wasn't angry. He knew the 'rules'. If the housekeeper could come and report when the master was receiving a guest, it could only mean one thing. It wasn't that the housekeeper didn't know how to read the situation or was stupid. There was something more important!
Right now, there should be an even more important guest arriving.
His identity was far more honorable than his!
"Who could it be?" Lin Zhenyun was extremely curious.
Clamor filled the hall.
Outside the door, a group of martial artists dressed in formal attire walked in. Looking at their uniforms, Lin Zhenyun's heart thumped. He was very experienced. In fact, even Lin Feng could recognize them. These martial artists in uniform were too easy to recognize.
Their uniforms were the symbol of the Luo Chamber of Commerce!
The largest chamber of commerce in Shiluo Prefecture!
No, it should be the largest chamber of commerce in the Vermillion Bird Continent.
"No wonder the housekeeper came to report." Lin Zhenyun's eyes flashed as he pondered.
"However, what does this Lin Feng have to do with the Luo Chamber of Commerce? Also … "Lin Zhenyun glanced at the well-dressed man at the front and frowned slightly." This man looks very familiar. Where have I seen him before? "
Just as Lin Zhenyun was feeling puzzled, the well-dressed man at the front of the Luo Chamber of Commerce laughed loudly and said, "Young Master Lin, my apologies. Because we still couldn't gather the required amount, we had to transfer it from somewhere else. That's why we're a few days late. I hope you don't mind."
"Clap! Clap! "The well-dressed man clapped his hands and shouted," Why haven't you brought the gifts yet? "
In an instant, the people behind him carried over eight boxes and put them down. Lin Zhenyun's gaze immediately froze.
"Here are some rare metals and minerals. I think Young Master Lin should be able to use them." The well-dressed man smiled and said, "There are also some star fruits, star talismans, and innate treasures. The total value is more than 2,000 star crystals. I hope Young Master Lin doesn't mind this 20% compensation."
"Hiss ~ ~" Lin Zhenyun sucked in a breath, his eyes filled with shock.
Compensation of 2,000 star crystals??? Heavens, just how many things did this Lin Feng buy?!
Looking at Lin Feng and then at the well-dressed man, Lin Zhenyun was so stunned that he couldn't say a word. Looking at the well-dressed man, Lin Zhenyun seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed greatly. "I remember now. He, he seems to be the Luo Chamber of Commerce's branch President of Shiluo County …"
"Ouyang Jin!"
