Chapter 48 (1/2)

“Those things aren’t suitable for you!”

The rat tsunami incident in the plantation was now on the official records, and Xue Xingfu benefitted nothing from it. Also, it was not fitting to just give him all that energy cores, either.

“Do they suit me this time?” Xue Xinfu’s chubby cheeks bobbed upwards as he smiled eagerly.

“That and… I also discovered a secret!”

“What is it?” Xue Xingfu did not know what it was, but his body stiffened in antic.i.p.ation.

“What do you know about that terror attack yesterday?” Qin Feng asked in a low voice.

Xue Xingfu frowned. “I know bits and pieces here and there, but that’s it. Matters like these are not within our jurisdiction,” Xue Xingfu was careful to reply.

The area surrounding Zheng Yuan Hotel was actually under the deputy mayor’s administration, but he didn’t want to make it seem too obvious. On top of that, there were so many people in the cla.s.s that it would be hard for them to carry out their plan. Otherwise, if they had known that Qin Feng was the one who sabotaged it, they would have pounced on him long before this.

Of course, they were actually planning to hunt down Qin Feng under the guise of night, hoping to find some excuses for his capture. Unfortunately, he did not return to the hotel. Qin Feng could sense the danger even as he digested Xue Xinfu’s words.

“I brought this!” Qin Feng took out his communicator. Not wanting to miss a single thing, he recorded everything he came across.

A conversation began to play:

[No, no, don’t kill me. I’ll tell you a secret!]

[If it’s another meaningless piece of information, I’m afraid won’t be giving you another chance to keep breathing!]

[No. No… The attack on your cla.s.smates wasn’t our original intention. It’s only because the other party kept urging us to hurry up.]

[Who is this other party you’re talking about?]

[It’s the deputy mayor of Chengbei!]

Hearing those things, Xue Xingfu’s eyes grew full and round.

“How reliable is this? Who were you interrogating? Why did they say that the deputy mayor was the one who instigated it? If this recording is all you have, not only will it not benefit you in any way, but you might even get dragged deeper into the mess. This is no joke, you know!”

Xue Xingfu fired one question after another at Qin Feng. Despite his plump, good-natured face, he was actually an extremely meticulous man. Otherwise, he would never have become the profiteer he was in the previous life. A fact worth mentioning was that even when he became an influential businessman, he remained an F-tier elect. To achieve such a status, it was no doubt he had powerful allies by his side.

In the beginning, it was the actual district head of Chengbei, an E-tier elect called Zheng Yang.

Xue Xingfu drew a deep breath, returning some color to his face. He looked at Qin Feng sympathetically. “You’re too weak now!”

Those who had intimate knowledge of secrets but were weak almost always died terrible deaths.

“Me? Weak?” Qin Feng looked amused.

He then raised his hand and revealed the spatial rune that was in it, followed by two rune equipment– the purple rune armor and arm guards that belonged to He Li.

“These are what I wish to sell. Of course, if you want the spatial rune, I can also sell it to you!” Qin Feng wiggled his finger.

Xue Xingfu’s eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.

“Where… Where did all of this come from?”
