Lu Xiaofei took out his phone and found it was Dao Ba Lian calling.
He quickly pressed the answer button and asked, "Dao Ba Lian, what's the situation with Shen Ruobing?" What Lu Xiaofei wanted to hear most was news of Shen Ruobing's miserable plight.
"Reporting to Chairman Lu, Shen Ruobing, Bai Yiling, and others are sitting at the entrance of the exhibition area, laughing and playing cards. She looks very happy!" Dao Ba Lian said.
"What, Shen Ruobing is playing cards?"
Lu Xiaofei was instantly bewildered, somewhat at a loss. "Are you mistaken? Why is she still so happy?"
Dao Ba Lian said, "Reporting to Chairman, I'm not mistaken at all. I even secretly took a few photos from the side and will send them to you immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaofei immediately received the photos sent by Dao Ba Lian.
He showed the photos to Huang Dao Ren, who was also confused.
"Master, what do you think about this?" Lu Xiaofei asked.
Huang Dao Ren twisted a small tuft of beard on his chin and said with a grimace, "That's strange. With the current situation and public opinion leaning towards us, the championship of this furniture exhibition competition should be ours. Why is she still so happy?"
"This is unscientific!"
Lu Xiaofei, thinking he was clever, said, "I only know that the end of science is theology. Have they received help from some great deity?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Dao Ren suddenly remembered the incident where he was backfired by his paper figures.
How could he forget about this?
He immediately knitted his brows and carefully examined the four people in the photos.
Shen Ruobing and Bai Yiling, two beauties, although he hadn't interacted with them directly, he had seen them on TV many times. He was very familiar with them.
What caught his attention were the other two young men.
As an old hand, he felt that Luo Cheng was just an ordinary person with nothing outstanding about him.
Finally, Huang Dao Ren's gaze fixed on Cheng Xiaofan. He felt that this young man was rather special and somewhat familiar.
He blinked his triangular eyes a few times, unable to recall where he had seen him.
"Cheng Xiaofan!"
As this name suddenly popped into his mind, a sinister gleam flashed in his eyes, and he muttered, "Kid, so it was you causing trouble!"
Lu Xiaofei asked curiously, "Master, who is Cheng Xiaofan?"
Huang Dao Ren said, "Cheng Xiaofan is a country bumpkin. It is said that this kid has quite good luck. He received guidance from an expert while studying in the capital, and later returned to his village to start a business."
"This kid is quite handsome, and I heard that Bai Yiling gave up the Bai Group for him and brought a huge fortune to his side."
"And Shen Ruobing's disappearance from C City also seems to be related to him!"
"Since this kid is here, this Daoist will make him leave his life here. He will never go back alive!" Huang Dao Ren said the last sentence through gritted teeth.
Lu Xiaofei asked, "Master, do you have a feud with Cheng Xiaofan?"
Huang Dao Ren said, "Yes, I have a feud with him. One of my nephews died at his hands!"
Lu Xiaofei exclaimed in surprise, "Master, what nephew do you have? How did he die at the hands of a country kid?"
Huang Dao Ren said, "I only heard about this from my sister after I got out of prison!"
Two years ago, Huang Dao Ren was eating at a hotel and got into a fight with someone over a woman, severely injuring the other person. He was sentenced to prison.
He had been out of prison for less than a month when Lu Guangtao took him into his home.
"My nephew's name is Tao Duobao. He opened a Taobao store in Yicheng and was the head of the Taobao Gang. His business was huge, and he had many clients abroad!"
Mentioning his nephew's death, Huang Dao Ren couldn't help but gnash his teeth.
Readers at the beginning of the book will surely remember Tao Duobao.
In Yicheng, while ostensibly doing Taobao business, he secretly stole national treasures through various channels and sold them to foreigners.
Tao Duobao once sent people to Bai Mang Lake to steal horses, but they were caught by the white pythons. This incident caused a great stir and alerted the police. He had to flee abroad.
However, after going abroad, he was caught stealing and beaten to death.
While Tao Duobao was alive, Huang Dao Ren benefited a lot from him, so he was particularly fond of this nephew.
While Huang Dao Ren was in prison, Tao Duobao, knowing his uncle liked beautiful women, managed to get him out multiple times, booked hotel rooms, and arranged for beauties for him.
On the first day he was released from prison, Huang Dao Ren rushed to his sister's house in Yicheng, only to learn that his beloved nephew had been beaten to death abroad.
Anyone who understood the situation would know that Tao Duobao's death was entirely his own fault. However, Huang Dao Ren blamed it all on Cheng Xiaofan.
In his opinion, if Cheng Xiaofan hadn't raised those horses that walked on water at Bai Mang Lake, Tao Duobao wouldn't have sent people to steal them.
If Tao Duobao hadn't sent people to steal the horses, he wouldn't have alerted the police and forced his nephew to flee abroad.
And if he hadn't fled abroad, Tao Duobao wouldn't have been beaten to death!
In short, no matter how wrong it was, it was all Cheng Xiaofan's fault. This revenge must be exacted.
For this reason, Huang Dao Ren even had someone help him get a photo of Cheng Xiaofan, planning to find him if he had the chance to avenge his nephew.
Later, after being taken in by Lu Guangtao in C City and living a life of debauchery, he had forgotten about avenging his nephew.
If he hadn't recognized Cheng Xiaofan in the photo today, he would probably have forgotten about it for the rest of his life.
Birds of a feather flock together.
After Huang Dao Ren explained the matter, Lu Xiaofei immediately said, "Master, this Cheng Xiaofan is simply hateful. The most hateful thing is that he shouldn't have raised those red horses."
"By the way, how did this kid get those horses? How can they walk on water?"
Huang Dao Ren shook his head and said, "I'm not entirely sure either. It is said that this kid had a stroke of luck. After receiving guidance from an expert while studying in the capital, his luck has been very good, and many divine beasts have gathered around him!"
"Master, no matter how lucky he is, now that he has met you, his bad luck has come." In the hearts of Lu Xiaofei and his son, Huang Dao Ren was the only god-like figure in the world.
This flattery was perfectly timed!
Huang Dao Ren stroked his beard and smiled, "Xiaofei, you speak well. This master likes to hear that. The kid surnamed Cheng has run into me today. His days of seeking death have arrived."
Thinking of the blood he had vomited last night, he became angry again. "This kid dares to oppose me. No matter what expert he has received guidance from, I will make him die miserably!"
"Now, let this Daoist give him a warning first!"
As he spoke, Huang Dao Ren glanced at the photos taken by Dao Ba Lian on his phone again, closed his eyes slightly, immediately determined the exact location, brought his palms together, interlaced his fingers, and muttered a series of unintelligible incantations.
*Crack!*
He clapped his palms together forcefully towards the void.
A faint, almost imperceptible black gas instantly traveled through the exhibition area!
