Chapter 195: The Dog of the Mourning Family (Part 2)
However, the ones who truly wish for Xu Feng to die are not just those involved in the Futures Company Fraud Case and those who were harmed after placing orders with the Pharmaceutical Manufacturer.
Before this, Xu Feng had not only committed these two cases; there were many other large-scale frauds and crimes that he had perpetrated. Countless people, whose names he might not even know, have been waiting day and night for the person who deceived them to die.
If a person is not greedy, they will not be deceived. If one's own greed is at fault, who can they blame?
Wei Yuan fundamentally agrees with this statement, but it cannot serve as a self-justification for some fraudsters. It is certainly not a valid reason that someone deserves to be deceived simply because they were greedy.
Such reasoning is so simplistic that it could imply that if a person lacks sufficient self-defense capabilities, then they deserve to die—a declaration of murder.
Or perhaps one might argue that although they deceived him, at least they did not take all his wealth; they merely taught him a lesson so he could be smarter in the future.
This kind of logic is even more absurd. Does it mean that if a woman dresses very provocatively, she deserves to be assaulted? And if you used protection, it wouldn’t count as assault; at most, it would just teach her how to have a harmonious sex life after marriage.
People with such thoughts are either officials or extremists.
Wei Yuan has heard similar sentiments expressed by both types of individuals, which is why he feels such disgust and believes that people like Xu Feng should die to quell public outrage.
Additionally, there are family members of those addicted to drugs who also wish for Xu Feng's death. They have suffered torment for many years; even if everything is not entirely Xu Feng's fault, he is still part of the problem and thus deserves their hatred.
Indeed, profiting from drug addiction is not a new occurrence across the country. About seven or eight years ago, there were already similar cases involving addictive prescription medications like cough syrup or painkillers, which became increasingly expensive as they were sold.
Yet the mastermind behind these schemes has never been caught. Perhaps that person has already made a fortune as the first to take advantage of the situation and has since changed careers.
Because there are countless factories engaged in similar drug manufacturing in both Shenzhen and Guangzhou, densely packed, some located far in the suburbs, while others are hidden right in the city.
Wei Yuan has been thinking that if he does not intervene, with this kind of development, Xu Feng and Shen Qingyi will likely make a fortune and then sell the manufacturing formula for Powdered Cherry Blossom on the black market.
By then, the problem will become even more serious, as Wei Yuan knows that drugs containing Powdered Cherry Blossom are far more harmful than other drugs once consumed.
Moreover, with the attention of observers on this matter and under Wei Yuan's planning and incitement, many netizens have become the real mainstream. They view the problematic drugs as a great threat and see Xu Feng as a contemporary scourge, even likening him to a rat in the street.
Anyone who dares to speak a good word for Xu Feng will be drowned out by a barrage of aggressive language.
As a result, there is indeed a massive crowd wishing for Xu Feng's demise; if he is unwilling to die, there will likely be many willing to assist him on his way.
Thus, this indeed meets one of the three qualifications for suicide.
In fact, the three qualifications for suicide mentioned by Wei Yuan come from Huang Zihua, an actor from Hong Kong who created "Stand-Up Comedy." This is a performance form that resembles a blend between stand-up and monologue.
Perhaps in Hong Kong, his status may not compare to that of Stephen Chow or Hui Kwan Man, but he holds a very unique position; he is perceived by audiences as straddling the line between a scholar and a star.
Those who understand Cantonese find watching his performances to be an exquisite enjoyment, which is vastly superior to the scripted performances often seen in mainland China that rely heavily on plagiarized internet slang.
One person, one glass of water, one stage, and two hours of time—relying solely on his own voice—can allow tens of thousands of audience members to enjoy this form of performance; this is absolutely not easy.
According to Huang Zihua, individuals with sufficient knowledge about suicide can be categorized into three types.
The first type is extremely unfortunate people, such as those in the late stages of cancer or those who have lost their families, belonging to a category where even if they do not die, living has no real meaning.
The second type is individuals like Qu Yuan, who are considered relatively great figures. After you commit suicide, your death becomes a holiday, such as the Duanwu Festival, allowing everyone to take a break and celebrate. If someone with such qualifications were willing to die, there would likely be a long line of people wanting to send them off.
The third type includes people like Hitler or Tojo Hideki, who belong to a category where even if you do not want to die, at least one nation wishes for your death day and night.
Although Xu Feng does not reach such high standards, considering the number of internet users now, there are probably at least a hundred thousand people who would want him dead.
In the realm of the internet, regarding the so-called standards for becoming a deity based on the power of belief, having a hundred thousand followers could qualify one as a lower deity.
Therefore, for Xu Feng and Shen Qingyi, their deep bond as father-in-law and son-in-law is of no use now because it is very difficult for the relevant departments responsible for the examination to help cover up this matter.
Moreover, if there is any foul play in the test results, it would definitely stir up a huge uproar since people's trust in the relevant departments has reached an all-time low.
Everyone has become a supporter of conspiracy theories, so with so much commotion, it is impossible for anyone to believe that Xu Feng could truly be innocent.
Thus, if they attempt to tamper with the test results, it would easily provoke public outrage. For those accustomed to such tricks in the relevant departments, this is definitely something they cannot handle.
They are well aware that the best approach is to publish the most truthful test results; this way, at least they can earn a good reputation.
Wei Yuan had successfully utilized public opinion and media strategies. With such weapons at hand, everything was proceeding transparently while Wei Yuan secretly controlled everything.
During this time, while waiting for the test results to come out, Wei Yuan knew he had done almost everything he could do and simply relaxed.
The relationship with Yang Ying has successfully reached another level, and they have truly embraced each other. Now, their feelings for one another are progressing very quickly.
In the past couple of days, Wei Yuan has been staying in the rented house, accompanying Yang Ying as they await the results.
Of course, during this time, aside from discussing medical skills, sharing experiences in combat, and grocery shopping together, they also have their own secrets. In their continuous interactions, they express the love in their hearts; however, their way of doing so is quite unique. They believe that love is not just something to be spoken about but something that needs to be acted upon.
Thus, they engage in actions that interpret their love. As for what they do, you understand.
Time flies when one is happy, and before they knew it, two days had passed.
Since they learned that the results would not be available until after Monday at the earliest, Wei Yuan decided to give his mind a break and not pay too much attention to the outside world before the test results came out.
After all, with a series of plans and implementations recently, although Wei Yuan mostly played a behind-the-scenes role, he had been calculating everything and even felt anxious. His mind had been tense throughout.
Finally able to relax a bit, Wei Yuan thought it was unlikely for any more problems to arise and thus was indifferent to external matters.
So on Sunday, Wei Yuan didn’t even bother to check his phone. However, when he finally looked at it that evening, he discovered there were over a hundred missed calls.
"That's outrageous! Could something have happened?"
Wei Yuan muttered to himself as he glanced at his phone.
After all, having over a hundred missed calls at once must indicate something extremely urgent.
So Wei Yuan quickly opened his phone and discovered that all the calls were from Yuan Ziyi. Yuan Ziyi was always meticulous in her thinking; now that her people were responsible for overseeing Xu Feng, how could she have encountered a problem?
Thinking this, Wei Yuan didn't bother to speculate further and promptly called back the missed number.
He noticed that the call connected in just five seconds, suggesting that Yuan Ziyi must have had her phone in hand, waiting for Wei Yuan's call at any moment.
After observing this detail, when the call connected, Wei Yuan remained silent, preparing to listen quietly. "Is there an emergency?" he asked.
Yuan Ziyi's tone was anxious as she replied, "Where are you? There's a situation here."
Wei Yuan wasn't prepared to ask what the situation was because he knew his mind wasn't necessarily sharper than Yuan Ziyi's. After all, she had brought part of Purple Robe Pavilion's influence out and modernized this pharmaceutical sect with a history of thousands of years, establishing a nascent pharmaceutical enterprise.
Since he couldn't provide remote guidance to help Yuan Ziyi deal with the problem she faced over the phone, as her partner, he could only choose to go and face it with her.
"Give me ten minutes; I'll be right over."
Recently, he had some money on hand. Although most of it needed to be invested in Phoenix Pharmaceuticals' development and dealing with Xu Feng while promoting Phoenix Pharmaceuticals' brand, Wei Yuan had managed to earn at least several million at Jade Rough Stone Market.
Now, although most of it had already been spent, as the two main responsible parties for Phoenix Pharmaceuticals in the future, Wei Yuan and Xie Ge still needed to invest money to enhance their image.
As the saying goes, "People rely on their attire, and Buddhas rely on gold adornments." First respect the clothing before respecting the person. Therefore, after several practical experiences, Wei Yuan realized that a car is a symbol of identity for a successful person.
Although he did not view people with such superficial eyes, many in society were indeed like this. Since Wei Yuan was powerless to change that, in some areas, he still had to go with the flow.
It turned out that Xie Ge's Jinbei Van was primarily used for deliveries, focusing on practicality, but it was still not impressive enough.
Therefore, Wei Yuan could only sell a Mazda for over a hundred thousand. Although it wasn't high-end, at least it was decent enough for the time being.
After getting into his car, Wei Yuan arrived at Xu Feng's residence in less than ten minutes.
He walked into the six-story building across from the nearby hotel and pressed the elevator button for the fifth floor, where Yuan Ziyi was located.
Wei Yuan knocked on the door, and the person inside confirmed his identity through the peephole before daring to open the door. After all, although they sometimes monitored people secretly, they were also afraid of being discovered and retaliated against.
Once inside the room, he found it quite different from what he expected; it resembled a photography studio with various specialized equipment arranged around.
Of course, most of the equipment was just empty shells meant to deceive onlookers.
The person who opened the door for Wei Yuan was a woman in her twenties, one of the disciples of Purple Robe Pavilion. According to Yuan Ziyi's standards, those responsible for monitoring were carefully selected; each one was a meticulous girl with certain skills.
"Mr. Wei, it's great that you're here; the elder sister has been waiting for you for a long time."
Although they referred to each other as General Yuan in public, deep down, they still regarded Yuan Ziyi primarily as the daughter of Purple Robe Marquis, so they often called her elder sister in private.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Hearing Wei Yuan's words, the woman in her twenties merely smiled slightly, not daring to take credit.
Then she led Wei Yuan behind a photography backdrop, where there was actually a hidden door.
Moreover, it was an iron door, painted a snowy white color that made it blend in with the wall. If other objects were placed in front of it, it would be nearly impossible to find without careful inspection.
Although they knew Xu Feng was now a cornered dog, Yuan Ziyi's subordinates were always cautious in their work. To prevent any desperate actions from Xu Feng, they were being particularly vigilant.
She used her personal key to unlock the iron door, and Wei Yuan followed her inside, only to discover that there were four other women in the room.
Three of them were disciples of Purple Robe Pavilion. At Wei Yuan's request, Yuan Ziyi had mobilized nearly twenty people this time, mostly female.
These were the kind of girls who had keen observation skills and possessed some level of combat ability.
About a dozen of them were stationed around Xu Feng's house, observing him from all angles, keeping track of his every move.
Of course, aside from fearing that Xu Feng might escape, there was another purpose for their presence. However, these matters would only be addressed after the results of Xu Feng's drug tests came back and he was completely detained.
For now, these individuals were merely monitoring Xu Feng. Another group was responsible for gathering and leading the families of those who had deep-seated grudges against Xu Feng—those who had been victimized in the Futures Company Fraud Case and could not recover any money from Wei Yuan.
Sometimes they would even disguise themselves and blend into the crowd, inciting emotions among these people and then surrounding Xu Feng when he went out.
Various tactics were employed: throwing feces and urine, dousing him with red oil, spitting at him, setting off firecrackers—essentially making it so that Xu Feng dared not step outside at all.
Yuan Ziyi looked at Wei Yuan as she entered and immediately gestured for her to come over, her face turning an unusual shade of red.
At that moment, Wei Yuan noticed that the other four girls also had strange, unnatural expressions on their faces. However, due to work requirements, they continued to monitor the situation, though they all seemed overly shy.
Among them was a woman in her twenties who appeared to be married. Her expression was somewhat calm and natural, but her gaze towards Wei Yuan felt a bit unfocused.
Wei Yuan then followed Yuan Ziyi's line of sight and saw a specially manufactured military telescope placed there. Given the distance between the two buildings, this military telescope could see even the pores of the person across.
Wei Yuan took the telescope and looked towards Xu Feng's floor. She spotted him on the fourth floor, where his curtains and windows were completely open.
As she continued to look inside, Wei Yuan was taken aback; it was more intense than a scene from an adult film. What kind of twisted mind came up with such disgusting tricks?
One, two, three, four, five—five girls.
Each one taking turns; it was such a waste of resources. Didn't he fear meeting the same fate as Ximen Qing?
Through the window, she saw Xu Feng completely naked, lying on a large bed with five women beside him engaged in intimate activities.
Moreover, judging by the women's attire and skilled techniques, they were clearly high-end escorts typically found in upscale venues.
At this moment, Wei Yuan arrived just in time; the performance across was merely in the foreplay stage. The five women were positioned around Xu Feng, showcasing their oral skills.
No wonder even Yuan Ziyi had an unnatural expression; in Wei Yuan's impression, she should have remained unflinching in the face of danger—a rare strong woman in this world.
This is the only way to realize her ambitions and truly modernize the Purple Robe Pavilion, achieving a business legend.
However, Wei Yuan forgot that she was still a woman. Looking at the girls around her, their expressions became even more exaggerated, and their gazes towards Wei Yuan turned unnatural.
These could all be considered respectable women, refined and elegant. Even though this area is relatively developed now and there are many channels to gather information, they still had no opportunity to witness such an explosive performance in person.
Yuan Ziyi tried hard to regain her composure and said with a thick nasal tone, "What do you think about this matter?"
Wei Yuan did not answer her directly; she simply took out her phone and glanced at the calendar. It was already Sunday night at ten o'clock.
Wei Yuan suddenly wore a strange smile and said, "That was quite a performance."
Hearing Wei Yuan's flippant words, Yuan Ziyi couldn't help but blush and replied, "That's not what I meant to ask."
Wei Yuan remained calm and said, "It's just a dying dog enjoying its last meal, indulging in its final madness."
Then Wei Yuan added, "I just didn't expect that this bastard actually has quite a bit of money. He suddenly threw out five thousand. Looking at that situation, each girl must be charging at least two thousand for the night. It seems my estimation was correct."
