Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin had long sensed that something was wrong. Lu Feng had initially said he was just fooling his old man, but the business was booming like this.
Whether he's lying to the old man or not, he doesn't know. If this continues, he might become the richest man in the province.
Both of them wanted him to do something for them, but they kept putting it off. These past few days, they've been coming several times a day, and they can also tell that Lu Feng is avoiding them.
The two secretly gathered some information and became increasingly suspicious.
Zhou Jianguo jumped off the motorcycle and spoke first: "Brother Feng, you promised us last time, what's the meaning of you going back and forth like this?"
"I've been busy lately, I'll wait until I have some free time!"
"When will you be free?" Sun Longbin asked impatiently. "Don't tell me it's during the Spring Festival. It's still a long way off."
"No, no, look at you two, all all over the place, are you brothers?" Lu Feng frowned.
The two of them had been brushed off with the word "brother" too many times. They wanted to turn against each other, but they were afraid of offending Lu Feng. In the end, they ended up with nothing.
“I’ve kept all the promises I made to you, so what are you complaining about? I’ve paid for your uncle’s machine, and I’ve paid for the fruit in your village.”
Zhou Jianguo looked extremely frustrated. Lately, he had been telling his family that he was going to make something of himself, that his brother was incredibly powerful and could easily get a minor official position with a little arrangement, and he had been bragging about it.
It's almost become a joke now.
Ren Qianbo looked at the two of them, his eyes darting around. Lu Feng quickly said, "Alright, once I'm done with this busy period, I'll treat you to a meal and drinks. Don't worry, I wouldn't mistreat you, brother."
The two returned empty-handed, rode away on their motorcycles, and Ren Qianbo, without saying a word, turned around and drove off.
"Brother Feng, they don't believe you anymore."
Lu Feng watched the car drive away and muttered, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I can't keep lying anymore. But I've grown up and don't need to rely on anyone anymore."
"A lie?" Big Head stared at Lu Feng in disbelief.
When Da Tou returned home, he told his father everything Lu Feng had done. His father told him that Lu Feng was lying and that he didn't have any powerful connections in the province. He told Da Tou not to overthink it.
But Da Tou had an inexplicable trust in Lu Feng; if Brother Feng said it was right, then it was right!
Ren Qianbo caught up with Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin in his car. After chatting for a few minutes, the three of them found a small restaurant and sat down. Zhou Jianguo and Sun Longbin then recounted the whole story in a very straightforward manner.
Ren Qianbo, being a worldly man, quickly grasped the key point after a moment's thought and said, "How about this, just go to his place and find out his background, why bother with wild guesses?"
The three exchanged a glance and decided to go.
Downstairs, a group of people gathered and whispered about Jiang Xiaoyan buying clothes that day. When they saw a car and two motorcycles, they stopped and stared wide-eyed.
"Lu Feng lives here, right?" Ren Qianbo asked.
"Oh my, they're looking for Lu Feng. That kid's really made something of himself. The people looking for him are getting bigger and bigger."
"That's right, they said they'd make it big, and they made it big very quickly."
"Yeah, what do you guys do?" Wu Hongyu looked Zhou Jianguo and his companion up and down, recognized them, and said, "Aren't you two Lu Feng brothers?"
"Yes, but we don't know much about him. Do you know what his family does?"
"His family? They're farmers, I guess, from the village."
"From the village?" Sun Longbin and Zhou Jianguo were dumbfounded and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure it's from the village? Not from the province?"
Everyone burst into laughter. Lu Feng is from the provincial level? This is ridiculous!
“I’ve lived here for over ten years. He moved here four years ago, renting a house from Da Lian’s family. At the time, I thought he was a rich person living in an apartment building. Who knew he was from the village?”
"This guy's made a fortune lately. He used to be a nobody. A few years ago, he was a notorious scoundrel in several factories, spending his days drinking, gambling, and whoring. Now he hangs out with you two, always beating his wife!"
"Are you sure?" Zhou Jianguo pressed.
Wu Hongyu snorted twice and said, "I'm sure. He beat his wife and was going through a divorce two years ago. His parents even came over. They look like villagers. I heard he runs a stall in the city and farms in the village. What? Was he bragging to you?"
Sun Longbin felt his vision blurring and exclaimed, "We've come here so many times, why didn't you say anything?"
"You didn't ask!"
He Yanli's gaze never left Ren Qianbo, especially the pager on his waist. She stood up and asked, "Bosses, what's wrong? Did he lie to you?"
"I had a feeling all along that Lu Feng wasn't up to any good, otherwise how could he have gotten so rich so quickly?" Wu Hongyu stood up and said indignantly, "This kind of trash can't walk the straight path, he'll get struck by lightning sooner or later!"
He Yanli stared at Ren Qianbo, and Ren Qianbo was staring at He Yanli in return. This woman exuded a seductive charm, and Ren Qianbo, a man in his forties, was quite fond of this vixen-like allure.
"Ahem!" Ren Qianbo coughed twice and said, "I still want to know more about this person. How about this, I'll treat, and we can chat slowly. This beautiful lady seems to know a lot about Lu Feng. Would it be convenient for us to go together?"
He Yanli never dreamed she would be invited. Looking at the Santana parked next to her, her face lit up with a smile, and she nodded repeatedly. Wu Hongyu, who was standing next to her, sensed something was wrong and hurriedly said, "I'll go too!"
Sitting in the passenger seat, He Yanli felt a surge of joy. Heaven had finally opened its eyes; instead of Lu Feng, this unexpected surprise had arrived. Looking at Ren Qianbo beside her, she thought he was a bit old, but he exuded the air of a successful man.
