I Carry a Game World With Me

Chapter 232: Chapter 214: Perfect Solution! Cannot Be Provoked

Mr. Chen knew, of course, that this call couldn’t be from Liu Huaqiang.

It was that mysterious fellow.

He had appeared again.

He immediately said to Secretary Chu, "You can go out first."

Secretary Chu nodded.

He knew this call must be important, so he immediately turned and left the room.

Only then did Mr. Chen press the answer button. He immediately spoke into the phone, "Who the hell are you?"

"Hehehe." A mocking laugh came from the other end of the line. "Mr. Chen, who I am is not important. What is important is that you should watch the upcoming news."

The words sounded familiar to Mr. Chen. That person named Lu had also told him to watch the news.

He was about to speak again when he realized the other party had already hung up. "Dammit!" he couldn’t help but curse.

But the caller’s words made him anxious. He immediately went online.

’Dammit, what news is it?’

But when he saw the latest news story published by Qingfeng Network Company, he shot to his feet, the color draining from his face.

Breaking News: A certain high-ranking official in Tianzhou City with the surname Chen has been colluding with numerous underworld factions... and engaging in private deals! Related information and evidence revealed below!

Mr. Chen’s eyes went wide as he read the headline.

’How dare they?’

’They practically named my position.’

’They might as well have posted my ID number!’

But as he read the rest of the article, his expression turned to one of pure horror.

’That information... that evidence... how did they get their hands on it?’

Online.

Netizens were still reeling from the news that the Xuanfeng Alliance had acquired a 51% stake in Qingfeng Company. The topic was trending everywhere, its popularity at an all-time high.

Amidst this, the new article published by Qingfeng Network Company instantly captured everyone’s attention and shot up the trending lists as well.

The internet exploded.

The public was already fascinated by the transgressions of people like Mr. Chen, especially since he was a high-ranking city official.

And when faced with this sort of thing, netizens were especially quick to become keyboard warriors for justice.

In no time at all, the internet was flooded with denunciations of Mr. Chen.

After reading the article, Mr. Chen’s face was completely ashen.

’How dare they publish something like this? Aren’t they afraid I’ll use all my connections to drag them down with me?’

"The Xuanfeng Alliance!" Mr. Chen suddenly realized that the situation was different now.

’Dammit!’

After his curse, he didn’t dare hesitate, rushing out of his office.

’Since they’ve done this, the story is bound to blow up. I have to do everything in my power to handle it, to suppress it.’

Once outside, he ordered his driver to bring the car around.

"Sir, where are we going?" the driver asked immediately.

"I’ll drive myself. You can take the day off," Mr. Chen ordered, then got behind the wheel and drove off, heading straight for a certain villa.

The villa was large. It was his, but not registered in his name. He kept many of his secrets here, including dirt and leverage on certain people.

People like his patron, as well as the officials in Tianzhou City who depended on him.

Only with this leverage could his patron and his network of connections help him suppress this incident.

’They think they can take me down with just this? How naive. And besides...’

’Once this blows over, I’ll make them pay. They’ll regret this.’

Mr. Chen entered the villa, went into a specific room, and opened a safe.

Inside were numerous files.

This was all the leverage—big and small—that he had slowly collected over the past two decades.

But just as he was about to take the items out, he suddenly heard a sound behind him. His expression changed instantly.

He spun around, and his eyes froze, widening in horror.

Standing behind him was a figure completely encased in what looked like steel. He had no idea when the person had appeared.

He had no idea he’d been followed, nor when this person had shown up.

"What... What the hell are you?" Under the circumstances, Mr. Chen couldn’t hide the terror on his face.

Lu Feng looked at Mr. Chen and said coldly, "Mr. Chen, you VIPs are so forgetful. Weren’t we just on the phone?"

"It was you?" Mr. Chen stumbled back in shock.

’This is the person who killed Liu Huaqiang without a trace!’

He instinctively bolted for the door. He didn’t even have his bodyguards with him.

But in the next instant, to his horror, Lu Feng’s figure reappeared before him like a phantom. His speed was unholy.

It wasn’t humanly possible.

Before Mr. Chen could react, Lu Feng shot out a hand, clamped it around his neck, and lifted him off the ground. A suffocating pressure instantly contorted the official’s face in pain, as if he could feel the grim reaper’s touch.

"You... You can’t kill me... It would cause a huge stir! You and whoever is behind you will be in big trouble," Mr. Chen said in a panic, trying to talk his way out of death.

Lu Feng said mockingly, "Mr. Chen, no one is killing you. You’re simply ’fleeing to escape punishment.’ Perhaps you’ll ’flee abroad,’ and then no one will be able to find you."

Mr. Chen’s eyes widened in horror at those words. He thought of Liu Huaqiang, who had vanished without a sound.

He understood exactly what the man meant.

"No—" Mr. Chen cried out in panic, but a crisp SNAP cut his voice short.

Lu Feng snapped his neck. Then, with a mere thought, he vanished, reappearing in the East Suburb Fortress Hall.

Lin Jiao, Wang Cheng, and Zheng Lin were in the middle of a private discussion. They froze when he appeared, their eyes drawn to the corpse he was holding.

"Boss, you..." Lin Jiao subconsciously pointed at Mr. Chen’s body.

’Our boss seems to enjoy showing up with a dead body these days,’ she thought.

’I wonder how these poor bastards managed to piss him off.’

"Get rid of this," Lu Feng ordered, dropping Mr. Chen’s body on the floor.

"Yes, Boss." Lin Jiao nodded and gestured for two people to carry the body away. She then turned back to report to Lu Feng. "Boss, I have something to report. That Li Kai from the Li Family has a big appetite. He wants us to falsify the planting records and the amount of arable land. He’s asking for a huge cut!"

Lu Feng heard this and smiled. "Then play along. And make sure you document everything. It’ll be useful eventually."

"Understood." Lin Jiao nodded, then added with a hint of concern, "But I have a feeling this Li Kai isn’t as simple as he seems. I think we should put more people on him."

"Lin Jiao, you can handle that yourselves. I have to go now," Lu Feng said. With another thought, he logged out of the game and vanished.

He reappeared back in the villa and turned his attention to the files inside the safe.

A quick glance surprised him. It was all blackmail material and evidence, not just on Mr. Chen’s subordinates, but also on Mr. Chen’s own patron.

’Interesting.’ Lu Feng collected all the files and evidence into his inventory space.

This was good stuff. It could cause major problems for the people named in these documents. Most of Mr. Chen’s subordinates could even be put away.

So, he didn’t leave any of it behind.

This material would definitely be useful. He could probably even use it to manipulate the very people implicated in the files.

With this, he could avoid a lot of trouble in Tianzhou City.

And he wouldn’t have to do it himself. He could give the files and evidence to his cousin, let him make contact with them one by one. Anyone who didn’t play ball could be sent to prison.

With that thought, Lu Feng left the villa, vanishing without a trace.

Meanwhile, the online firestorm surrounding Mr. Chen intensified, quickly shaping public opinion.

Under the circumstances, the authorities had no choice but to form an investigation team.

But when the investigators arrived, they found that Mr. Chen was nowhere to be found. This sent another shockwave through Tianzhou City as the news spread like wildfire.

At the same time, word got out that the underworld kingpin, Liu Huaqiang, had also disappeared.

This led to all sorts of speculation.

「At Lijiang Villa.」

Master Kai came to visit Lu Feng for tea again, and Lu Feng was happy to entertain him.

After all, when his cousin got into trouble, Master Kai had immediately helped him get that video. It was a favor he owed.

Master Kai was also delighted; his investment in that favor had clearly paid off.

President Lu had resolved the matter perfectly.

"President Lu, the investigation team has been sent down. Mr. Chen is finished," Master Kai said, sipping his tea with a broad smile. "It’s a shame he disappeared, though. According to his driver, he sensed something was wrong, made an excuse, and drove off by himself. Now he’s nowhere to be found. Most likely, he fled to escape punishment. Some are even saying he went abroad."

Hearing this, Lu Feng silently poured Master Kai another cup of tea.

’Good,’ Lu Feng thought. ’It’s all going according to plan.’

Master Kai stayed a little longer before leaving. He was a busy man with a large business to run.

Afterwards, Lu Feng called Yang Ming over for tea. He handed a folder to him and said, "Cousin, these people are terrified right now. I want you to contact them, one by one. Find a way to make them listen. As for those who don’t... let them die."

Yang Ming took the folder, and as he looked through the documents inside, his face filled with shock.

When his cousin had first said he wanted to make these people work for him, Yang Ming had assumed he was talking about underworld figures. But a glance at the files showed that wasn’t the case at all.

In the past, these people were completely out of his league. Now, the leverage and evidence against them were right here in his hands.

This changed everything.

He could only imagine the kind of power and influence these people wielded when combined. No one in Tianzhou City would dare to provoke them. Or at least, it wouldn’t be worth the trouble.

Lu Feng added another instruction, "Also, Liu Huaqiang’s underlings still have a sizable presence in the underworld. Since they’re the ones who picked a fight with us, go teach them a lesson."

Yang Ming nodded. Knowing that Liu Huaqiang was the one who had attacked him, he was simmering with rage. Now that Lu Feng had given the order, it was time to make some noise. He stepped out and immediately started making calls to rally his men.

Soon, the underworld of Tianzhou City was shaken to its core. Every single one of Liu Huaqiang’s noteworthy subordinates was sent to the hospital.

When they got out, they would have to learn to keep their heads down.

Yet through all of this, Liu Huaqiang never once showed his face. This made everyone realize that, following the Gao Family, another major player had fallen at the hands of the figure behind Qingfeng Entertainment Company.

In an instant, the name Qingfeng Entertainment Company became even more renowned in the Tianzhou City underworld. Even the lowliest street gangster knew not to mess with anyone from this company.

Back in the villa, Lu Feng received a phone call. It was from the Xuanfeng Alliance. As he listened to the message on the other end, his brow furrowed deeply.

’This is a real problem.’
