"Hmph!" Fu Liqun threw the task order in his hand in front of Lin Feng and turned away angrily.
Lin Feng watched Fu Liqun's retreating back, a smirk playing on his lips.
Qin Hongying looked at Lin Feng, her eyes shining. "You're something, kid! This is the first time I've seen Fu Liqun lose a big order like this!"
"You flatter me," Lin Feng smiled slightly, calmly getting up to pack his things and go home.
Fu Liqun returned to the captain's office with a cold face. Hu Jianjun and the others knew from Fu Liqun's expression that he couldn't handle this big order.
"Brother Fu, what will the brothers say if we lose this big order?" Hu Jianjun asked Fu Liqun worriedly.
Every big order that came to Jiangcheng was a time for them to make big money. They had already boasted about it, and the brothers were all waiting. Now they were saying the big order was gone? And Lin Feng, the deputy captain, had snatched it away?
This was the biggest blow to Fu Liqun, making him seem inferior to Lin Feng in the eyes of his brothers.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Fu Liqun asked with a cold face, secretly plotting how to deal with Lin Feng.
The mission for tomorrow would prevent him from leading the team. Without Lin Feng, the second team's mission would naturally fall to the first team.
Without Lin Feng, they were nothing.
"Alright, you can go back now!" Fu Liqun glanced at Hu Jianjun and dismissed him.
After sitting in the office for a while, Fu Liqun finally got up and left the transport team. He went to a dark alley and found Qin Laohu.
"Well, what wind blew you here today?" Qin Laohu asked with a sneer when he saw Fu Liqun. "I asked my brothers to invite you for tea before, and you didn't even give us any face! What? Now that you're in trouble, you remember your brothers?"
Qin Laohu laughed disdainfully, and the subordinates behind him also looked at Qin Laohu with dissatisfaction.
"Qin Laohu, if you help me with this, I'll let you make money with me!" Fu Liqun ignored Qin Laohu's provocation and got straight to the point.
Before, he had Chen Long above him, and Fu Liqun might have shown some respect. Now that Chen Long was arrested, Qin Laohu had even lost their black market, handed it over to someone else, and was assigned to this backwater place as a boss, which was truly pathetic.
If it were in the past, Fu Liqun would never have thought of bringing Qin Laohu along, but now he was desperate for help, and only Qin Laohu still had some value.
"Really?" Qin Laohu raised an eyebrow upon hearing Fu Liqun's words.
"Did you finish what I asked you to do?" Fu Liqun asked calmly.
Qin Laohu looked at a subordinate beside him, whose face paled. "We've already confirmed his family's location. There's only a woman and a three-year-old child at home."
"Just that?" Fu Liqun was not satisfied.
"...Yes." The subordinate lowered his head.
Qin Laohu pursed his lips. "Who do you think we are? It's enough that we kept an eye on him. Do you expect us to investigate Lin Feng's background?"
Although he said this, Qin Laohu's words only made him seem more useless.
Fu Liqun pursed his lips, saying nothing.
"Didn't you say Lin Feng brought a box home? What's in the box?" Fu Liqun asked after a moment of silence.
The subordinate immediately replied, "We already searched his house while his wife was out. We searched everywhere and couldn't find the box you mentioned."
"I saw him carry the box into the house with my own eyes," another subordinate said. "But I also went in, and we really didn't find the box I saw."
"Is it possible he took it away at night?" Fu Liqun frowned.
"Impossible, we were watching the whole time! We never saw him leave with anything. It was only after we searched that he and his wife left in that jeep," the subordinate replied.
"So, you found nothing?" Fu Liqun's expression darkened again.
He knew Qin Laohu's men were useless, but he didn't expect them to be this useless, not even comparable to Xu San from Chen Long's side.
"How can you say we found nothing? Of course, we found something! It's just that the items might still be at his house! Lin Feng must have hidden them!" Qin Laohu looked at Fu Liqun and raised an eyebrow. "What was in the box? If Lin Feng took everything out of the box, we might be able to find it!"
"You just keep watching!" Fu Liqun opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't tell Qin Laohu that the box might contain account books.
He had searched Chen Long's house. All the places where account books were kept had been disturbed, and the account books were gone. The only possibility he could think of was that Lin Feng had already gone to Chen Long's hideout and taken all the account books.
No matter who took Chen Long's account books, it would be a fatal threat to them. They had to find and destroy all the account books.
And Lin Feng's strong stance made it hard for Fu Liqun not to associate it with those account books.
Could it be that he had already been caught with a handle on him...
After Fu Liqun left, Qin Laohu and the others looked at his retreating back and spat. "Son of a bitch."
"Brother Hu, who exactly is this Fu Liqun? He was more respectful when Brother Long was around. Now, the way he looks at us, I really want to dig his eyes out!" the subordinate complained to Qin Laohu.
Fu Liqun's gaze made it hard not to get angry.
It was as if he was looking at trash, despising them.
"Brother Long said he was our backer. What do you think?" Qin Laohu naturally understood his subordinate's words. He wasn't stupid and could see the contempt in Fu Liqun's eyes, implying they were useless.
But when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.
Now that Brother Long was gone, Wang Hu had the help of a master, and his brothers couldn't do anything about him, so they had to endure the humiliation and stay put.
"Brother Hu, let's take back the black market! We've been watching for several days. Wang Hu doesn't have any women around. That woman who helped him last time isn't here. Without that woman, Wang Hu and his men are nothing!" the subordinate suggested to Qin Laohu.
"Are you sure?" Qin Laohu's heart stirred, and he looked at the subordinate.
"If you don't believe me, ask Old Seven." The subordinate looked at Old Seven nearby.
Old Seven immediately nodded. "Baouzi and I have been watching them for days, and we haven't seen any women around Wang Hu. He's busy with black market affairs all day. If we ambushed him, he wouldn't even be able to fight back."
"Isn't that pathetic? We still deal with people like this?" The subordinate, Baozi, looked at Qin Laohu and urged again, "Brother Hu, we were the ones in charge of the black market. Now you're stuck in this backwater place, and Wang Hu even blocks our way and doesn't let us recruit new people. Isn't he trying to force us to our deaths?"
"Get the brothers ready. Tomorrow night, we'll take down Wang Hu's nest and take back the black market!" Qin Laohu was moved and signaled.
