[The Return of Fate] (A Common Man's Loss of Will) Chapter 145

Author: Dugu Yiye
Taking
advantage of the situation In the following days, Ye Nanfei wasn't busy dealing with Teng Tao, but rather meeting with family and friends
. He visited Sister Hong to see if she was suicidal after learning about the shop fire. He also met with Sister Hua, asking her to look after
things after the fire, and instructed Mule, Tian Qiulan, and others to be careful. Only then did he return to the camp in the forest. Li
Yongxia and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had been quite depressed after hearing about the shop burning, and no one
had said much, as they weren't particularly surprised. They were capable of murder, so arson was nothing to
them; there was nothing they wouldn't do.
Minako returned to the camp alone a day early. She was always elusive, so no one was surprised.
They expected Ye Nanfei to take action upon his return, but with the shop burned down, when would they ever retaliate? But
Ye Nanfei acted as if nothing was wrong, hunting and eating as usual. Even at night, in his tent with Li Yongxia, there
were still constant sounds of passion, though it wasn't intentional. It was just that the night in the forest was too quiet, and the tent's soundproofing was
terrible.
Even Li Yongxia, who had no principles in supporting him, couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother Fei? Are we just going to stay in this forest like this
? This isn't sustainable. Why don't we just go back to Xiaowang and live a peaceful life?"
Ye Nanfei gave a wry smile: "You guys are anxious, but I'm more anxious than anyone else! But I can't panic. If I panic, everyone
will be even more uncertain. You're the eldest sister of this group, don't you feel that way? I'm waiting, waiting for news, and then
we'll set off. But I really don't know when that news will come, and I'm feeling uneasy."
Li Yongxia finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I told you so! Why didn't you say so earlier? I..." " I was worried sick, I
knew you had plans. Yonghong has asked me several times."
Ye Nanfei: "Now that I've told you, are you no longer worried? Yonghong keeps asking you? Why doesn't she ask me?"
Li Yongxia: "What? Are you thinking about Yonghong?"
Ye Nanfei: "No way! I can't even handle you alone, hehe."
Li Yongxia: "You have a guilty conscience... um... be gentle... um..."
Meanwhile, Teng Tao mobilized his connections, contacted various departments, and launched a massive crackdown, sealing off goods and arresting people.
But they had implemented a scorched-earth policy, closing not only his own shop but also his Jiangbei shop, and even the motorcycle repair shop
connected to him. This frustrated Teng Tao greatly; it was like throwing a punch with all his might, only
to hit nothing. He cursed them inwardly for being so weak, they should have just smashed the door and taken all the goods. So, fueled by anger, he
took a drastic step, sending men to set the house on fire. The neighboring Gu Ling's house and Mule's shop also suffered varying degrees
of damage. The shop didn't have much stock left; all the valuables had been moved, but the fire was devastating, leaving only a large frame
.
Teng Tao had expected Ye Nanfei to show up, or at least retaliate in some way, but
there was no sign of him. At first, he suspected the kid might have some more powerful trick up his sleeve. But then he thought, it was more
likely the guy had chickened out again. Hadn't he been a coward all these years? He'd crippled him and had been hiding ever since.
He couldn't afford to mess with him back then, but now, with his status and power, killing him would be a piece of cake. He was increasingly inclined to believe
the guy had run away again. He thought smugly, "This is really boring, no fun at all."
In this mood, the whole team relaxed, but Teng Tao didn't give up on revenge. Although he had
smugly intimidated Ye Nanfei, he also felt like he'd been played. They'd talked a good game, promising to take the women he'd won
, but they'd all escaped. He was still looking for places to vent his anger, and Ula had also sent out many
people to keep a close eye on things.
That day, Teng Tao received a call in his office. The caller said it was a friend's introduction; he had coal he wanted to
sell, but it wasn't the right season, and the quantity was too large, so no one dared to take it. His friend said only Teng Tao had the capacity to absorb such a
large quantity, so he was asking if he was interested. This sudden offer was quite unexpected, but
the price was indeed very tempting. Three million yuan worth of coal was now only 2.3 million yuan. Prices were
n't high this season, and with such a large discount, as long as he held out until autumn, making a profit wouldn't be a problem. When asked why,
he said he had encountered an emergency and urgently needed money; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to pay so much. Besides, it was all high-quality coal from Inner Mongolia, not
the local coal, which has lower calorific value and more coal dust.
Teng Tao agreed to consider it and summoned his trusted confidants, Yuan Gang and others. Upon hearing this, Yuan Gang immediately tensed up:
"Brother Tao, I feel that this sudden incident at this critical juncture is a bit abnormal. Be careful."
Teng Tao had also considered this possibility: "Then do you think that kid Ye Nanfei has that much power?
Even if he does, how does he plan to orchestrate this to scam me? Does he want us to go south to pick up the goods? It's such a big
deal, can I pay without seeing the goods? I'd like to try. If it's a trap he set, I want to see how he
plays it. If not, we can make a steady profit, over 2 million, which will be over 3 million in a few months, hehe
."
Teng Tao was eager to try, but not reckless. Hearing from the Inner Mongolian kid that someone had introduced him, he deliberately asked
who the introducer was. Upon hearing this, he actually knew such a person. They weren't very familiar, but they had interacted a few times and he was considered a respectable
person. He called the intermediary again and confirmed the deal was true. A friend had recently asked if
he wanted coal, but the quantity was too large; the other party wanted to buy it all, which he couldn't afford
. After considering all options, he realized only Teng Tao could handle it. Relieved, he then arranged to meet the man in Mengjiang. Upon
meeting him, he felt even more at ease. The man clearly wasn't a local; his accent was very strong, likely
from the time he traveled west, bringing his Inner Mongolian accent with him. The negotiations went smoothly. The man was open and
honest; the coal was piled up in the coal yard. He had originally planned to hold onto it until autumn to make a profit, and
was already shipping daily. However, a sudden family emergency required money, so he was selling at a loss, demanding cash upfront.
He wasn't a shell company; all the paperwork was legitimate and verifiable. For safety, he invited
them to inspect the site; for transport back, train or road transport was both options.
The more he talked, the more tempting it became; not going to check it out would be a crime! He then tentatively mentioned that the price was a bit low
; although it wasn't expensive, the quantity was so large—who had that much cash? They'd need to borrow some. This person was very persistent about this matter.
He held firm, refusing to budge, and finally said, "Let's see the goods first. If we don't see them, maybe we won't like them anymore,
or maybe we'll see they're a steal." So they decided to go to Inner Mongolia for an inspection. They figured they could probably get the price
down a bit.
Was this all Ye Nanfei's doing? Whether he was or not, no one knew, but
he did learn about Teng Tao's trip to Mongolia the next day. Mao Rou came by on his motorcycle the following afternoon to inform him. Upon hearing the news, Ye Nanfei
immediately perked up. The opportunity he'd been waiting for had arrived. He quickly gathered everyone together. Everyone had been
quite dejected, but hearing about the upcoming action, they all perked up. They didn't approve of Ye Nanfei going against Teng Tao,
but when it came to action, no one hesitated. Besides, they had all harbored resentment for the past two years, especially the Li
sisters who felt they had been manipulated.
Ye Nanfei unfolded a large sheet of white paper, on which many names were written, connected by lines. Everyone
was confused, but Minako was the first to recognize them – these were people related to Teng Tao.
Ye Nanfei said, "Right, what we need to do next is to find out everything
about him and his father without alerting them. We'll figure out the methods ourselves, but the bottom line is that we can't let them feel like they're being investigated. Our main focus
is on their relationship, corruption, bribery, illegal activities – basically, anything related to them,
gather as much information as possible. But it's best to have solid evidence, not just rumors and gossip
. What's the use of that?"
Ye Nanfei then gave instructions: "Now pack your things and let's set off. Direction: Mengjiang County." He then took out a map and marked
the next campsite: Huolong Ridge, only a dozen miles from Mengjiang. Four motorcycles, carrying people and luggage,
headed towards Mengjiang. After setting up camp again, Ye Nanfei asked everyone to figure out how to
break through the list of people on the list. He wanted to go into the city first, as they had been waiting for this day for a long time, and everyone was eager to follow.
But Ye Nanfei only wanted Minako to come.
This made Li Yongxia very unhappy. Why couldn't he take her instead of Minako? Ye Nanfei: "If we both
leave, who will take the brothers? Besides, this time we're going to steal information from Teng Tao's office. Who among you is as skilled as
Minako?" Hearing this, no one dared to speak. Not to mention breaking into houses at night, even fighting and charging
around, the guys all admired her. This girl seemed born for this kind of thing. Although she learned to climb walls and trees later, she was
miles ahead of them.
Minako sat in the back seat, her arm around Ye Nanfei. Lately, she'd been a little resentful because Ye Nanfei had
been spending all his time with Li Yongxia these past few days, giving her no chance at all. She wondered why she hadn't
cared so much about this back in the forest. But now she felt much better. The mere mention of a burglary
excited her, especially with Ye Nanfei—it felt like they were back in their days as the two thieves.
The exterior of the hardware company was a piece of cake. Besides the gatekeeper, there were no guards anywhere else. Was
Teng Tao really that careless? Or just unprepared? The two climbed to the top floor and entered through the skylight.
The office door was locked, but not difficult to open. However, once inside, they were dumbfounded. Ye Nanfei
could manage a simple lock, but the safe in the office was a high-tech contraption beyond his capabilities. After trying
for a long time, he could only sit there dejectedly, sighing at the safe.
Ye Nanfei's attention was completely drawn to the safe. It was simple; anything valuable was bound to be
inside.
Minako said, "If you can't open it, don't waste time. Let's look for something else, see if it's useful."
Drawers and ordinary roll-up cabinets were no problem for him. He took pictures of anything that looked promising
. Minako had already sealed the windows to prevent his small flashlight and flash from giving them away. Next, they went to the finance
department, but there was also a safe there. Disappointed, they could only photograph some seemingly useful items. By the time they returned
to the camp, it was already dawn.
They quickly slept, and after waking up early, they continued their discussion. They didn't find anything useful and couldn't think of any solutions. Only
Zhang Mo suggested that he had a good relationship with one of the security guards, who had been working at the hardware and chemical plant for quite some time,
and suggested asking him for information. Ye Nanfei: "Then hurry up and go. I'll give you more money later, and give them some benefits
."
Ye Nanfei: "Yongxia, don't you have any clue?"
Li Yongxia: "I don't know most of the people on this list. The few I do know are from the company, and they
know me too. How can I investigate?"
Ye Nanfei took the list and looked at it again, then pointed to a name: "This mining bureau
director named Zhang Lijun, is said to be dead, and his death was quite tragic, but the final forensic examination determined it to be suicide. You didn't
know anything about this?"
Li Yongxia and the others were surprised to hear this: "Ah? Could it be him?"
Ye Nanfei: "What? You know?"
Li Yongxia: "Teng Tao has assigned us a lot of tasks, but we don't know anything about the details before or after. The tasks given
are specific about how to do it and what the outcome should be, but we don't know who it is, what they did, or why. But
I remember this. The first day, we were assigned to deal with someone.
We were taken directly to his house, stabbed more than ten times, and then pushed off the building by Fatty and died." "We didn't know who it was, but the next day, we heard
that a bureau chief had jumped to his death yesterday, and we suspected it was that person."
Ye Nanfei, upon hearing this, broke out in a cold sweat. When did these guys become so ruthless and
cold-blooded? They were always either stabbing or killing people. "Then you can follow this lead and investigate. As for how to investigate, figure it out yourself
. You're so smart, you must have a brilliant idea, haha."
Li Zhiguo: "Ah, I remember now. Last year, we did something with someone named Han Jinchao, who
was quite famous in the Mengjiang area. He and Teng Tao had a falling out, and he got taken care of. We were assigned to deal
with him. We don't know the details, but we heard Teng Tao call him Han Jinchao when they talked. Later, we heard many people
mention him, saying it was a waste of his talent."
Ye Nanfei: "You guys took him down too?" Seeing their silence, Ye Nanfei felt a chill run down his spine
. What had these brothers and sisters been doing these past few years? No wonder Teng Tao wanted to use this to threaten him. "Alright,"
"Let's investigate these three leads first. Yongxia, you follow up on the case of the mining bureau chief; Zhiguo, follow up on Han Jinchao's case. Zhang Mo,
contact that security guard and see if you can plant a mole within their ranks. Naizi, try to track Teng
Mingyuan and see if you can get anything out of him. But your first priority is safety. If there's any danger, retreat immediately
. Don't alert them."
Fatty: "What about me?" Li Yonghong asked as well. Ye
Nanfei: "Fatty, you're the mobile line. Follow whoever needs you. Yonghong is taking care of Yin Lingyi at the camp.
If you don't take good care of her, we won't be able to do anything with peace of mind."
Li Yongxia: "Then what are you going to do?"
Ye Nanfei: "I have to go back to Ula to develop photos and also go to learn lock picking. I'm still not good enough without learning."
I have exams coming up, so I'll be delayed for a few days. Please understand.
