Yang Fei almost broke down when this topic came up.

"Ah, don't mention it. You think I want this? Leader Luo forced me to take a stand," he said.

"If I didn't continue investing and participating in the city's development, he would immediately revise the district renovation plan and cause me a total loss."

"You officials really do have the treacherous nature of mountains and rivers; you're too clever."

Liang Jiayi giggled, "You underestimate us Government Office workers. I also understood what Uncle Luo meant."

"You can make money, but the money you earn must contribute to the entire modernization of Yannan City."

Yang Fei sighed, admiring Luo Dicheng's broad vision and grand planning.

However, Luo Dicheng forced him to declare his position.

Investing in dock construction involved a huge sum of ten billion; how could it be sourced?

Even if the designated land and buildings in the old district could earn two billion.

But, even accounting generously, Lanting Hotel's funds did not exceed five billion.

Among this, he still had to distribute dividends to two investors, Zhang Lifang and Su Yinxue.

Yang Fei felt a terrible headache.

Two days later, the Fang Tang leak case was cleared up.

Fang Tang was dismissed from all his positions due to serious discipline violations.

He was demoted to a clerical position in a certain department.

Liang Jiayi also received a disciplinary record.

However, this sanction was minute compared to Fang Tang's situation.

From the glamorous position as a major secretary in the Government Office, Fang Tang directly became a minor office worker in an agency.

This shift in identity and status was like falling from above the Nine Heavens directly into the eighteen layers of hell.

Anyone slightly weaker in spirit could not withstand such a shock and attack.

Yang Fei was taken aback by this.

Fang Tang, unexpectedly showing no signs, reported to the unit on time on his first day.

From his appearance, one could not tell any signs of decay or discomfort.

Hearing about this from Liang Jiayi, Yang Fei felt wary of this pretty boy for the first time.

Such a person, enduring and vicious.

Once the opportunity arises again, he could make a strong comeback, not to be underestimated.

However, for the time being, Fang Tang posed no threat to Yang Fei and Liang Jiayi.

For a while, Yang Fei need not worry about his life or death.

In the office of a certain agency.

Fang Tang looked at the crude office equipment, his expression was calm, but his eyes were extremely sinister.

"Yang Fei, just wait. I, Fang Tang, will definitely not lose to someone like you," he said.

"Jiayi is mine, and I must obtain her."

The office was eerily quiet.

Fang Tang could clearly hear the sound of his own teeth grinding, terrifyingly eerie.

While Fang Tang cursed Yang Fei through gritted teeth, Yang Fei, at that moment, felt extremely relieved.

Liang Jiayi had just secretly sent a message to Yang Fei.

The old district's planning draft hadn't been changed.

About whether to revise the old district's planning draft again, the standing committee had a heated discussion.

Liang Jiayi acted as the meeting's secretary.

Some leaders argued that since the draft had been leaked, it must be changed.

This had almost become the rule in recent years.

It could prevent unscrupulous real estate developers from speculating and inflating land prices.

However, other leaders felt that although the plan had been leaked, it did not cause too much impact.

Although there were speculators hoarding and speculating on property, it was only in a very small scope, which could be endured by the Government Office.

Most importantly, the district planning draft had already spread in the old district.

If the Government Office changed it easily, it would create an impression of instability.

This would be extremely detrimental for stabilizing public sentiment and social opinion.

After careful consideration, the planning draft for the old district was not changed again.

Liang Jiayi couldn't help but admire Yang Fei's thoughts.

This monster's grasp of the overall situation in the old city area's redevelopment project was so precise that it was astonishing.

His estimation of the Government Office's work tendencies was incredibly accurate.

Up to this point, the investment in the Lanting Hotel had been a resounding success.

On the other hand, Yang Fei's Turtle Extreme First Form: Turtle Darkness had finally been cultivated successfully.

To Yang Fei's surprise, the breakthrough in Turtle Darkness had also led to further breakthroughs in his Martial Arts skills.

His Martial Arts Realm had progressed from Earth-Grade Mingjin to Peak Mingjin.

He could step into the Anjin Realm at any time.

This, for Yang Fei, was a major event.

Ever since he had started cultivating Turtle Darkness,

every night's sleep had become a perfect opportunity for Yang Fei to increase the Essence Qi in his body.

Every morning when he woke up,

Yang Fei could feel the Essence Qi continuously increasing within him.

Contrarily, Yang Fei's appetite had become enormously large, especially for meat.

Now, Yang Fei almost consumed more than ten kilograms of beef every day.

And every morning, he was ravenously hungry, as if he hadn't eaten in ten days.

Any ordinary person eating this way would either burst or become extremely fat.

Yet, Yang Fei's body was getting thinner by the day.

Of course, Yang Fei dared not tell Lin Xueyi and the others about such a monstrous way of eating.

This guy simply ordered meals from Jude Restaurant.

The dishes he ordered were quite ordinary: braised beef, Dongpo pork, char siu, crystal pork hocks...

Basically, everything was meat, and then there was a full earthen jar of Burning Knife Liquor, weighing two kilograms.

Luckily, Yang Fei ate in a private room, out of sight from anyone.

Otherwise, it would have scared people to death.

In this period, Li Shun had taken over the shops and territories left behind by Kong Erhu and Sun Weiren in a sweeping momentum.

All the gambling houses, bathhouses, numerous bars, and nightclubs in Yannan City, whether big or small, had come into Li Shun's control.

These shady businesses were altogether worth more than one billion.

Li Shun was a clever man.

Of the shady businesses he had acquired, over seventy percent of the shares belonged to Lanting Hotel.

Li Shun was well aware,

if it weren't for the support of top fighters like Yang Fei and Fan Yi, Golden Buddha could send just one top fighter to sweep through Yannan.

Then he would have to spit out everything he had swallowed up, and might even lose his little life.

Now, in the Underground World of Yannan, Li Shun had undoubtedly become the top figure.

However, he was very clear that his so-called title as the top person in the underground world was merely borrowing the authority of others.

If Yang Fei so wished, he could replace him at any time.

Knowing his place, Yang Fei was happy to let him manage the affairs of Yannan's Underground World.

Old Man Gong's more than ten disciples had gone temporarily to Qingquan Stone, following Mad Blade and working as security.

Only someone like Mad Blade could manage such a large force.

Mad Blade managed this group of martial artists with strict military discipline.

Su Yinxue's safety was tightly protected by Fan Yi.

Yang Fei's days had become leisurely.

Apart from eating meat, drinking, and tempering his Martial Arts,

this guy also used concern for the ladies' health as an excuse to take advantage of Su Yinxue, Lin Xueyi, and Zhang Lifang in his great pursuit of mischief.

Although the three beauties were well aware of this rogue's temperament and were on guard,

under Yang Fei's shameless, persistent stealthy attacks,

they inevitably fell prey to many of his tricks.

Everyone's days seemed carefree and joyful,

but everyone understood that this moment of peace

was just the calm before the storm.

Everything was alarmingly peaceful.
