Chapter 108 The Regret of Li Feihong (1/2)
Chapter 108 – The Regret of Li Feihong
Li Feihong was once a simple salaryman working in his previous life. He had an easy lifestyle, a good wife, and two kids. Besides his work, he had nothing to worry about as he contented with what he had.
But the day he committed a sin could still be remembered after the years of torment in Hell, Li Feihong was enticed by his boss into accepting a bribe from a mafia.
That day, a mafia in a suit came to his company to visit his boss, who had a connection with them. After the meeting, the boss dragged him into the meeting room and introduced him to the Mafioso.
”I want you to attend a trial as a witness for my boss.”
It was what he said in the meeting. Then, he was given a script and details about what he had to do in the courtroom.
By doing the job that the Mafioso asked, he would receive a large sum of money, which was ten times higher than the salary he could get for twenty years. Li Feihong could have an early-retirement and travel around the world with his family right away.
With his greed, he accepted the bribe.
He did not realize that he went to the court and gave out testimonies for Ping, who killed Tong's parents. He became one of the alibi witnesses that made Ping slipped away from his crime.
After the verdict was given, he accidentally glanced at Tong, who was crying in anger in the courtroom and was restrained by his friends and the securities. Meanwhile, Ping mocked Tong and the persecutors for being fools in this trial and caused chaos in the courtroom.
Ping was fined a sum of money for the improper manner in the court. That was all the punishment he received.
Because of the image of the angry Tong, Li Feihong decided to dig into the case and found out later about the truth behind the murder of Tong's parents. He felt guilty for saving the criminal, so he wanted to correct his testimonies by consulting with the police and Tong.
However, Ping and his goons had been monitoring all the bribed witnesses and had planned to silence everyone beforehand. Within a week after the discovery, Li Feihong and his entire family members were kidnapped and were drown to death in the middle of the ocean.
After death, Li Feihong was judged by the angel that he had to be sent to the eight Hell for committed fraud and caused innocent bystanders to suffer injustice.
Li Feihong regretted every moment during his time in Hell. Then, he thought he was given a second chance for redemption when he was thrown into the gate into another world. The system told him to live free and be an honest man. Therefore, Li Feihong vowed that he would not repeat the same mistake again.
After living in this world for twelve years, he was picked up by Lu Bu when he was gathering herbs on the roadsides. He was forced to work in the logistics department in exchange for a few coins a month, which had a better earning than living in a rural village.
As he grew up, his intelligence as a reincarnator shone. His colleagues noticed this and reported to the upper echelons, which ended up to the ears of Lu Bu.
Li Feihong was promoted as a result. He was transferred to the main force as a provision manager. At this rank, his cheat skill came into play and made his reputation skyrocketed.

*********************************
…
This skill was created based on a farming game that Li Feihong had played in his previous life. He could raise crops and animals in the farm world and take the harvested crops into this world.
Because the skill was created in a rush, Li Feihong did not calculate thoroughly when he designed this skill. As a result, the upkeep was expensive.
At first, he barely earned enough lifespan from the mission to pay for the upkeep, so he could not use it. Afterward, the rewards were more generous. He began to use it more often to experiment on various crops and animals.
Then, he was promoted to the provision manager. He started to utilize this ability to help the army.
The provision problem that Lu Bu and Ding Yuan had been troubled with was solved. Warhorses, which was rare and hard to breed, suddenly increased. The serious issues that they could not solve for years were resolved in a mysterious way.
Both Lu Bu and Ding Yuan was baffled by the phenomenon, so they summoned all managers to interrogate, after which, all the traces pointed at Li Feihong, who was at the center of this phenomenon.
Li Feihong was inquired of how he dealt with the issue, but he did not tell them about his ability. He told Ding Yuan and Lu Bu that he had a connection with one of the Xiangnu tribe in secret, and he had traded with them. He also refused to reveal the identity and the location of the tribe as he promised them that he had to protect their secrets.
Ding Yuan was skeptical about this, but Lu Bu liked it. Li Feihong was then promoted into the strategist advisor of Lu Bu Legion and was put in charge of the army logistics and supplies.
Then the PVP of the otherworlders happened. Li Feihong, who was doing well up till now, was shocked. Who would have thought that he was not the only reincarnator who inherited the previous life memories in this world?
The other reincarnator happened to be a soldier within Lu Bu's camp. Li Feihong had no self-defense or any attack skill, he could only rely on his boss, Lu Bu.
At that night, Lu Bu protected Li Feihong from the hands of the reincarnator and crippled the soldier. Afterward, Li Feihong delivered a finishing blow and completed the mission.
He became wary of the existences of the others after that incident. His nightmares happened more often as he later heard about Zhang Tong and the battle at Anping. There was no doubt that he was the other reincarnator, and he was so close to his city.
Furthermore, every time he heard about Tong, his heart ached as if he was about to get a heart attack. The memories and the guilt of his previous life flashed back each time he heard the word ”Tong”.
Now, that Zhang Tong appeared in front of him. Li Feihong could not remain calm at all. He wanted to seek sanctuary in his private world, but he wanted to keep this skill a secret. Thus, he mustered all of his courage and rode his horse forward to face his fate.
…
…
Li Feihong stopped his horse and got down. Because of his nervousness, he stumbled and fell from the horse face-first, which caused every soldier to laugh at him.
”Hahaha! Sir Li, you still have a long way to go!”
”Hahaha! You have to work out more, Sir Li!”
Li Feihong had an awkward smile on his face. He nodded to everyone and staggered toward Lu Bu and Tong.
On the other side, Tong observed Li Feihong's every moves from the start. He could not detect any hostility from his action, his eyes, or his aura.
