On the road from the capital’s airport to the city, there’s a stretch of suburban woods, and there’s an exit there that conveniently lets you leave the highway.
Wei Xinghuo had just sent his men to start preparing there.
He first arranged for a few expert hackers to deliberately spread news about car rentals, so if Xu Fei had any need, he’d likely come across their ads.
Once Xu Fei placed an order, they could make their move halfway after all his people had boarded the vehicles.
Wei Xinghuo then sat in his room, waiting quietly, about a few hours later, he received a call from Qiangzi.
“Brother Xing, the cars are ready, and the hackers are all set too!”
“Great work, Qiangzi, I’ll let you know when there’s any update!”
After hanging up, Wei Xinghuo immediately contacted a man named Zhou Jingshan.
This guy was a commander in the capital’s military district, with a decent number of troops under his control.
Most crucially, he was obsessed with climbing the ranks and making a fortune, constantly schmoozing and building connections with others.
Wei Xinghuo had noticed this guy long ago, after all, he was a subordinate of his adoptive father, Wei Kangnian, the capital’s military commander.
Because of this connection, Zhou Jingshan had approached Wei Xinghuo quite early on.
Back then, Wei Xinghuo was thriving in the capital’s underground black market and didn’t think he needed this guy, so he hadn’t agreed to put in a good word for him with his adoptive father.
But now, after his previous clash with Xu Fei, Wei Xinghuo realised that going it alone wouldn’t be enough to take Xu Fei down.
If he wanted revenge, he’d have to rope others in to team up against Xu Fei.
Beep, beep, beep…
After a few rings, the call connected, and a cheerful laugh came from the other end.
“Well, well, isn’t this Young Master Wei? What breeze has blown you my way to give me a call?”
“Young Master Wei” was Wei Xinghuo’s old nickname in the capital, but since he’d been stripped of his military rank and left the army, hardly anyone used it anymore.
So, hearing it now, Wei Xinghuo couldn’t help but feel a twinge of emotion.
“Zhou Jingshan, that favour you asked me to do, putting in a good word with my adoptive father, I’ll do it, but in exchange, you’ve got to help me with something.”
“Young Master Wei, you’re being too polite, whatever you ask, I’ll agree to it no matter what!”
Wei Xinghuo then laid out his plan for the day to Zhou Jingshan, of course, to ensure its success, he wasn’t foolish enough to reveal everything about Xu Fei.
That would just boost the enemy’s morale and dampen his own.
After hearing Wei Xinghuo out, Zhou Jingshan replied dismissively, “I thought it was something big, turns out it’s just teaching someone a lesson, no problem, Young Master Wei, wait for me tomorrow, I’ll definitely bring a big crew to meet you there!”
With Zhou Jingshan’s assurance, Wei Xinghuo felt even more confident.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xu Fei had already left the bar, parted ways with Huang Chengyun, and casually booked a nearby five-star hotel to rest.
As he finished washing up and lay on the bed scrolling through his phone, he suddenly thought about tomorrow’s arrangements.
