After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1319 - 687: Child of Destiny

Yu Xiaohui returned to the hotel at noon to have lunch with Chen Feng.Originally, they planned to eat out, but Chen Feng was somewhat worried about Jia Yuanwu arranging people to confront him. Despite being confident in his combat abilities, with his current great strength, taking on two or three people wouldn’t be an issue. But if the opposition carried controlled knives, that would be uncertain. He’s not afraid to die, but there’s no need to take risks.

So, it’s best not to leave the hotel for now.

This time, they had Western cuisine, right on the hotel’s 4th floor.

After sitting down and ordering, Chen Feng said to Yu Xiaohui: "I already told you over the phone, Jia Yuanwu wants to mess with me. Yesterday, he called a group of people waiting outside the hotel to confront me as soon as I left. To ensure my safety, I won’t be leaving the hotel for the next couple of days."

Yu Xiaohui frowned and said: "Should we call the police? Or find someone to help."

Chen Feng shook his head: "Calling the police is definitely not an option. I’m not even sure if Jia Yuanwu has someone watching me from elsewhere. It’s unnecessary to seek help, as it might create burdens. If I were to find someone, I’d rather just hire two bodyguards outright. But I don’t want them following me all the time. Besides, you know I’m somewhat of a homebody; I generally don’t go out without a reason."

Yu Xiaohui laughed: "That’s true; how did you become such a homebody? Usually, a man as wealthy as you can’t stay put at home."

Chen Feng self-deprecatingly replied: "I’m an outlier, I guess."

Yu Xiaohui restrained her laughter and seriously said: "Why don’t I just call Jia Yuanwu, scold him thoroughly, and make it clear? This way, I think he won’t send people after you."

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said: "That’s indeed a way. But I should make the call myself."

"You? How do you plan to talk to him?" Yu Xiaohui asked curiously.

Chen Feng laughed: "How else? I’ll scold him thoroughly, then warn and threaten him. If he can get someone to hit me, I can certainly get someone to hit him. Who’s afraid?"

Yu Xiaohui laughed: "That’s indeed a method. Jia Yuanwu is cautious in his actions, not very brave, but sometimes he plays extravagant and is quite lecherous. You might scare him off."

Chen Feng said seriously: "I don’t intend to just scare him; I genuinely want to do this. No reason for him to have people hit me, and I can’t defend and retaliate, right?"

Yu Xiaohui hurriedly persuaded: "Hitting someone is illegal. If he reports to the police, won’t you get arrested?"

Chen Feng shook his head with a smile: "You don’t understand. Hitting someone is surely illegal, but does that mean nobody commits crimes? For money and their interests, many people engage in illegal activities. Compared to drug dealing and murder, hitting someone isn’t a serious crime. As long as you don’t kill or cripple someone, the most severe sentence is three years, sometimes even resolved with compensation. So, if I were to spend a hundred thousand to have someone beat him, then have them take the blame later, offering them fifty thousand, you think they wouldn’t do it? Even if they face three years in prison, earning twenty thousand a year, there are many willing to do it."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaohui certainly understood, rolling her eyes: "You don’t seem like a good person either."

Chen Feng nodded openly: "Of course I’m not a good person, but I’m not a bad person either. Being a good person is too difficult, but I can’t act against my conscience and be a bad person. Being a mediocre person not too good or bad is the most comfortable."

"Alright, since you have your own plan, I’ll surely support you."

Though Yu Xiaohui didn’t quite agree with Chen Feng’s plan, she wouldn’t oppose it.

This is a basic quality of a good woman; before a man makes a decision, you may advise him, but once he decides, you should fully support him.

Chen Feng was very pleased with this, saying with a grin, "Then, once we finish our meal and return to the room, I’ll call Jia Yuanwu."

"Okay."

Soon they skillfully shifted the topic to the jewelry store.

The assessment group stated that at the latest, the evaluation would conclude tomorrow, and passing is assured. Afterwards, the formal authorization would follow.

Thus, Yu Xiaohui decided to start informing the shortlisted candidates today, notifying them to come to the hotel for interviews the day after tomorrow.

Chen Feng was confident in her ability to handle tasks and offered her reassurance, thanking her once more.

Seeing her work appreciated and thanked by Chen Feng, Yu Xiaohui was naturally content and felt very gratified, devoting more effort to completing the task Chen Feng assigned to her.

Over half an hour later, they finished eating and returned to the hotel room.

After asking Yu Xiaohui for Jia Yuanwu’s phone number, Chen Feng went into the bathroom, closed the door, and prepared to call Jia Yuanwu.

However, after his call went through, it rang for a while but was automatically disconnected with no response.

Chen Feng made two more attempts with the same result, and thus he temporarily gave up.

"Did you give me the wrong number? I called several times, but no one answered."

After exiting the bathroom, Chen Feng asked Yu Xiaohui curiously.

"Shouldn’t be, he called me just a few days ago; it’s the right number."

Yu Xiaohui replied uncertainly.

"Let’s check it again."

Chen Feng went over to take Yu Xiaohui’s phone and double-checked the number; it was correct.
