"You're mistaken. The Wang Family's power in Ark City is immense, surpassing the Zhan Family by a huge margin. Plus, a lot of their business is underworld dealings; that's their area of expertise. They have numerous people at their disposal. If they come here looking for trouble, it's going to be a tough situation to handle," Du Yujia constantly shook her head, expressing significant concerns.

Zhu Bufan's expression shifted slightly. He knew full well his own capabilities; if Zhan Feilong brought a group here to cause chaos, wouldn't they end up gaining nothing in the end?

"Alright, enough about their revenge for now, let's do something else today!" Du Yujia pulled on Zhu Bufan to leave, her car already waiting nearby.

"What's up? I've still got to keep Aunt Jiao company," Zhu Bufan persistently resisted, trying to shake off Du Yujia, the old witch.

"Hey?" Du Yujia feigned annoyance and said: "You're not thinking about hitting on my sister, are you? Let me tell you, you better restrain yourself, or my brother-in-law will kill you for sure!"

"Hehe, no way," Zhu Bufan vigorously shook his head in denial: "She's my mother-in-law; how could I possibly have designs on her?"

"Then what do you need to chat with her for? Come and get some real work done with me. The construction of the dock on the other side of the river is almost complete. Let's go inspect it."

"Docks?" Zhu Bufan, tentatively on tiptoes, looked over toward the river. The vast river surface was still empty, not a thing in sight.

"Hehe, the dock has only just begun construction; you could only call it a temporary dock," Du Yujia gave an awkward smile since the dock was indeed too rudimentary, almost like child's play.

License plate number A99999, supposedly the most prestigious local license plate, hung on a Rolls-Royce, which indeed was a fine match for a fine steed.

Sitting inside the car was a man with his head fully wrapped in bandages, looking utterly miserable. It was none other than the person Zhu Bufan just beat up, Wang Jiangjun, known in the criminal underworld as "General."

After the Rolls-Royce was parked at the roadside for a few minutes, a line of bright red business vans finally came speeding from the opposite direction. They formed a long queue, with more than thirty vehicles. Running on the wide road, they looked like a super-long dragon.

Finally, the whizzing convoy neatly aligned and stopped behind the Rolls-Royce. All the doors opened with a bang, every car with all four doors wide open. Four individuals got out from each car, all dressed in black suits, black leather shoes, black sunglasses. Standing there, they resembled a formidable and awe-inspiring army.

Passersby continuously stopped to watch, and some curious onlookers even bravely pulled out their phones to capture the scene.

A man and a woman got out of the front row business van and jogged up to the Rolls-Royce, opening the car door.

The woman stepped forward and inquired, "General, what are your orders? Just say the word."

"Smash Chunjiang New Village to pieces! Chop Zhu Bufan into mincemeat and feed him to the fishes in the river!" Wang Jiangjun issued two commands in one breath, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

The man stepped forward and muttered, "Would it work if we go smash it tonight? If we go now, I'm afraid the cops might intervene later."

"After you get there, just block off the roads to keep the police out, and it's essential to completely raze Chunjiang New Village, root and branch!"

"Yes, Big Brother." The two bowed in unison and left. The Rolls-Royce led the way, charging at the forefront of the convoy. A large number of red business cars followed closely, creating a rather spectacular scene.

Du Yujia was driving, taking Zhu Bufan on a big detour, and finally arrived at the opposite bank of the river. Now Zhu Bufan had finally fully witnessed the dock that Du Yujia had mentioned. What dock was this? It was nothing but two concrete slabs propped up on the riverbank, with the silt at the other end of the slabs dug away, so that the riverbed below could accommodate ships. That was considered a dock.

There were two rubber boats floating near the makeshift dock; that was all the dock had.

"Second Aunt, is this the dock you were talking about?" Zhu Bufan could hardly believe his own eyes. This seemed more like a child's play-pretend game. Du Yujia was a busy person; how could she have the leisure to come and play with such things!

"Yes, exactly," Du Yujia said excitedly: "This is the makeshift dock I had specially arranged. It's convenient for us to cross the river. I've arranged for our vehicles to be parked on this side of the new city. People from Chunjiang New Village can come over by boat. This way, it's much more convenient and also very fun, isn't it?"

"If you say so."

Du Yujia pulled Zhu Bufan onto one of the rubber boats, which had two opposite seats, each seat exactly one meter in length. The theoretical load capacity was four people. In the middle, there was even space to place a small table.

Zhu Bufan sat at the stern. Normally, Du Yujia should have sat at the bow to keep the boat as stable as possible, but for some reason, she insisted on squeezing next to Zhu Bufan.

"Second Aunt, why are you sitting over here? It's unstable for both of us to be crowded in this spot!" Zhu Bufan, seeing the tiny worn-out boat swaying and drifting unsteadily, was extremely anxious.

"It's fine, the boat has a capacity of half a ton. With our little weight, it won't sink. I have something to talk to you about, let's go."

A sudden heaviness fell upon Zhu Bufan's heart, as it must be no good news. If it were good news, they wouldn't need to "hide from people" to discuss it. Paddling the boat into the middle of the river, they were surrounded by emptiness, with no shelter or hindrance; no one could eavesdrop.

The boat sped out for several tens of meters, and Du Yujia suddenly changed her demeanor, plopping down into Zhu Bufan's arms with a soft voice, "Zhu Bufan, I really like you very much, and your career needs me as well. The two of us could develop a relationship!"

"Isn't that quite inappropriate?" Zhu Bufan frowned and said, "Second Aunt, Yujia and I are already engaged; you know that."

They say older women have thicker skin, and today Zhu Bufan witnessed that it's really true.

"Yujia is still young and lacks experience; she can't help you much at the moment. Besides, Yujia is spirited and not someone you can control easily. In these respects, I would be much better," Du Yujia spoke softly, and her words made a lot of sense.

"Indeed, it is so," Zhu Bufan nodded, showing his agreement.

"Then why hesitate? Let's settle this," Du Yujia declared resolutely, "As soon as we go ashore, go to the jewelry store and buy me a diamond ring to wear. After a while when things are less busy, we'll get married."

Wow, this was going for a lightning war.

Seeing that Zhu Bufan remained silent, Du Yujia's pretty face immediately darkened, "What do you mean, Zhu Bufan? I'm throwing myself at you and you still don't want me? If you don't want me, then why did you bring me back? I was going to jump into the river to commit suicide, and it was you who pulled me back!"
