……
The Ren family mansion was built in the center of Renjia Town.
Its location is secluded and quiet, and its feng shui is excellent.
In front, there is a pond that gathers spirits and brings wealth; behind, there is an ancestral hall that accumulates blessings and provides protection.
This was not Su Feng's first visit to the Ren residence; every time he passed by in the past, he would marvel at this elegant dwelling.
He stopped by the door and slowly knocked.
After a while, the Ren family's butler opened the door and came out.
"So it's Young Master Su."
Upon seeing Su Feng, the butler seemed to immediately understand his purpose and respectfully invited him into the house, leading him to the main hall. "Master has been waiting for a long time, please come in quickly!"
In the hall, Ren Fagang had just finished lunch and was sitting to one side drinking tea. Ren Tingting was also beside him, and the two seemed to be chatting about something.
"Master, Young Master Su has arrived."
The butler came over and called out softly. Ren Fa immediately stopped talking and looked up at him with a look of surprise.
Upon discovering that the person who came was indeed Su Feng, he excitedly got up and walked forward.
"Young Master Su! I've been waiting for you for so long! Come, come, please have a seat!"
After pulling Su Feng to sit down, Ren Fa quickly dismissed the servants in the hall and asked, "Young Master Su, how did things go?"
Almost three days have passed, and he still hasn't heard a single word.
The day before yesterday, someone was sent to the Su residence to inquire, but it was learned that Su Feng was not at the residence. So they went back to the mortuary to find Uncle Jiu, only to find that the three of them were also not there.
As a result, they could only wait helplessly at home for news.
We've been waiting for this day, and Su Feng has finally arrived!
Facing the excited Ren Fa, Su Feng remained calm and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, Mr. Ren, I've taken care of things. You don't need to worry about your father anymore."
"Really? Really?" Ren Fa blinked in disbelief, his words tinged with doubt.
Su Feng could tell that the other party was skeptical, so he smiled and said, "If Master Ren doesn't believe me, you can go and take a look at the banana grove. The mastermind's body should still be lying in the grove right now."

"I believe you! Of course I believe you!" Ren Fa breathed a heavy sigh of relief, patted his chest lightly, as if a thousand-pound stone had been lifted, and his body felt much lighter.
"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! Young Master Su has truly broadened my horizons!"
"I mean what I say, and I never go back on my word," Su Feng replied calmly.
Ren Fa paused for a moment, then quickly understood. "That's natural, that's natural."
He then waved to the butler, "Go to my room and get that contract..."
“Young Master Su, doing business is all about integrity. Since you’ve kept your word and helped me solve a big problem, I naturally won’t go back on my word either!”
After the butler handed over a stack of contracts, Ren Fa spread them out on the table. "There are four contracts in total. I have marked 70% of what Young Master Su wants in the contracts. If you are not sure, you can take a closer look, then sign your name and put your fingerprint on the back. Then this deal will be done."
Su Feng glanced at it, and his ability to read ten lines at a glance naturally came in very handy at this moment.
In just a few seconds, he could clearly see all four contracts.
As Ren Fa said, the lines marked inside were written exactly according to the conditions he proposed.
No more, no less, exactly 70%!
Thinking it over, he conveniently signed his name and pressed his fingerprint on the last page of the contract.
"From now on, we'll be business partners!" Ren Fa was overjoyed, picked up his teacup and toasted Su Feng. "I hope we'll have a pleasant collaboration in the future!"
"You're too kind, Mr. Ren."
Su Feng took a sip of tea; it was slightly bitter.
Setting down his teacup, Ren Fa seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Young Master Su, do you remember Jiuquan Town that I mentioned before?"
"During this period, Mayor Ye of Jiuquan Town has made a lot of money through some channels!"
"Oh?" Su Feng raised an eyebrow. "Business is tough these days, and everyone is struggling to make ends meet. What kind of money-making scheme has Mayor Ye found?"
After speaking, a sly look suddenly appeared on Ren Fa's face. "As for the real situation... I don't know much about it either. I just heard it from various sources. It's said that Mayor Ye has recently been cooperating with some Western businessmen to sell opium..."
"This opium business is very profitable! The profit margin is extremely high. I even had someone privately inquire about it the other day, and a pound of opium can..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Su Feng's cold voice, "Master Ren wouldn't be thinking of getting involved in these kinds of things for our first business deal, would he?"
Seeing Su Feng's displeased expression and his serious, furrowed brows, Ren Fa clicked his tongue and dared not continue speaking.
"Making money in business is a matter of course, but you can't make money without a conscience. Master Ren should know that opium is a poison. Selling it within our own country is like poisoning our own people."
Su Feng's tone grew increasingly harsh, making Ren Fa's neck feel cold and his cheeks burn.
"If Mr. Ren is interested in this and insists on getting involved with opium, then I think this cooperation should not continue."
Such a firm attitude made Ren Fa's face turn pale, and he hurriedly said, "Just kidding, just kidding, how could I not know the danger involved?"
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat streaming down his forehead. "Like Young Master Su, I abhor these poisons and despise Mayor Ye's actions!"
Su Feng listened and nodded with a forced smile.
He does love money, but not to the point of being obsessed with it. He wouldn't do dirty things that harm his own people just to earn a few coins.
"Let's not talk about that... Let me tell you about Commander Jiang in Jiuquan Town," Ren Fa quickly changed the subject to ease the awkwardness. "Commander Jiang is a local warlord there. He's been very powerful lately, recruiting soldiers. I heard he already has nearly a thousand men under his command..."
"If we want to expand our business to Jiuquan Town, we can talk to Commander Jiang in advance and build a good relationship. This will be beneficial in the future."
“Yes,” Su Feng nodded calmly, his tone unchanged. “I understand Mr. Ren’s thoughts. I will go there to conduct an on-site inspection when I have time. That’s all for today.”
After saying this, Su Feng stood up, said goodbye, and left the Ren residence without looking back.
Watching the boy's departing figure, Ren Fa let out a heavy sigh.
The butler standing nearby couldn't stand it any longer. "Master, why do you keep tolerating Su Feng? It makes you look inferior to him."
Ren Fa waved his hand with a wry smile, "What do you know... Times have changed, and the situation is no longer something an old man like me can control."
"I never imagined that Su Feng, at such a young age, would possess such integrity. Truly remarkable for his youth!"
……
After leaving the Ren residence, Su Feng wandered aimlessly through the streets.
I still feel a little depressed.
It's unclear whether it was influenced by Ren Fa mentioning the opium issue, or by Ren Fa's ambiguous attitude.
"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it so much."
Su Feng took a deep breath to regain his composure.
Now that we have already made our attitude and stance clear to Ren Fa, if he still insists on getting involved in opium, then we might as well not do this business!
“Tofu pudding~”
"Fresh, hot tofu pudding!"
As I passed by an alleyway, a roadside vendor was enthusiastically and loudly hawking his business.
Su Feng rubbed his stomach. "I'm actually a little hungry."
Having something to eat to calm your nerves is a good idea.
"Would you like a bowl of tofu pudding, sir? I make it myself, it's absolutely authentic!"
Seeing the stall owner's confident demeanor, Su Feng readily paid the money, picked up his bowl, and sat down at a small outdoor table.
He hadn't tasted street food in a long time. Having grown accustomed to the delicacies served in the manor, it was quite a treat to occasionally savor these local specialties.
While they were eating, the voices of the three people at the next table suddenly grew louder, catching Su Feng's attention.
"No way! You really did that?"
"Aren't you afraid?!"
Su Feng turned his head and saw two dark-skinned men surrounding a fat man, talking to him with surprised expressions.
The fat man's face beamed with a smug smile, his lips pursed high. "That's right! Everyone for miles around knows that I, Zhang Dadan, am the boldest and fattest!"
"Don't even mention sleeping on that grave last night, I'd gladly sleep in that coffin with the corpse tonight!"
You can run into an old acquaintance even while eating a bowl of tofu pudding.
Su Feng shook his head with a wry smile.
He was no stranger to Zhang Dadan; he was a tragic character in "Encounters of the Spooky Kind" who was beaten and suffered from beginning to end.
He married a beautiful wife, but not long after their marriage, she had an affair with his audacious employer, thus earning him a cuckold's horns.
In the end, to cover up the truth, his employer, Boss Tan, failed in his attempt to frame Zhang Dadan, and even hired a Taoist priest named Qian Zhenren from Maoshan to kill him! It was truly a tragic end!
If it weren't for the help of Master Xu, Master Qian's junior brother, he probably would have died at the beginning of the film.
Thinking about it, Su Feng couldn't help but become curious. He carefully examined Zhang Dadan's fleshy face, tapped his five fingers lightly, and quickly made calculations.
"It seems it will be in the next couple of days."
Su Feng smiled, lowered his head and finished the remaining tofu pudding in his bowl, then got up and walked towards Zhang Dadan's table.
"Speaking of last night, when it was dark and windy, and there were ghostly wails in the distance, at that grave..." Zhang Dadan was still talking eloquently to the two drivers when he noticed Su Feng approaching. He stopped talking and looked over, "Brother, is there something you need?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little interested in what you just said."
Su Feng said in a flat voice.
Zhang Dadan raised an eyebrow and smiled smugly, "Oh, these are just ordinary little things, not worth mentioning!"
"You're too modest, Dadan! Who has the guts to go to a graveyard to sleep in the middle of the night? We wouldn't dare!" The rickshaw driver chimed in, making Zhang Dadan even more beaming.
Seeing him so carried away, Su Feng didn't want to dampen his spirits, but out of kindness, he still offered a gentle reminder.
"Although I am a complete stranger to you, you may not believe what I am saying, but a lot of troubles will happen to you in the coming period of time. I advise you to go home and see your family as soon as possible."
