Chapter 215 Mixing Fish and Dragons
Taking away the lab's technicians as well as some experimental equipment, this move by Reng Peng was really ruthless.
In the short term, Rongpeng Corporation was still a colossus, untouchable. It was the same whether they had laboratories or not, not to mention those technicians who only knew how to do research in laboratories.
But in the long run, that would be a stupid idea.
If an enterprise, especially a business enterprise, did not have the support of top technology, then it could only eliminate everyone in the end without any future prospects.
No matter what the product was, it had to have a popular selling point. However, if they were unable to be ahead of other companies in the same industry in terms of technology, they would face fierce compet.i.tion from other companies. When everyone was in the same position, Rongpeng Group's transcendent position would no longer exist.
Just having a huge amount of money was equivalent to having a crippled leg.
Hence, from this point onwards, Ji Feng could tell how sharp Rongpeng's eyes were when it came to business. This person could see the essence of the matter with a single glance, and if he were to apply this ability to business, Rongpeng Corporation would surely be able to achieve its glory.
In the future, he would use this kind of extraordinary vision to fight against the Wu family. This was definitely a rare boost to Ji Feng, and for the Wu family, they would have an additional sharp and astute enemy!
However, the more he acted this way, the more Ji Feng began to position him. He would have to slowly consider this matter after he returned to the Jiang Prefecture.
It was already evening. Rong Luo Yan received a call from her father, Rong Peng, saying that the meeting was over. He told her to bring Ji Feng and the white spider home for dinner.
Ji Feng originally did not plan to go out with them, because if there really were people watching him from outside, once he went out with Rong Luo Yan, even she would be watching him.
However, after some consideration, he still nodded his head and agreed. This made Rong Luo Yan very happy.
However, Ji Feng did not head out with Rong Luoyan. Instead, he went one after the other. He let Rong Su Yan and the white spider walk in front, while he was about 20 to 30 meters behind them. He just followed behind them like that without leaving a trace behind.
After the three of them left the hotel, they got a cab from the front and back respectively and headed towards Rong's home.
While sitting in the taxi, Ji Feng's gaze was constantly scanning his surroundings, especially towards the cars and pedestrians around the hotel. He was paying close attention to all of them.
"Master, keep up with that car, but don't follow too closely." Ji Feng reminded him.
The taxi driver replied in his local dialect, but Ji Feng could only get a general idea of what he was talking about. The driver seemed to be asking him if he was a police officer. Ji Feng could only understand this, and most of them were still unclear on what was going on. Thus, he could only nod his head in agreement.
The driver looked at him strangely, but seeing Ji Feng's extraordinary bearing, the driver didn't say anything and merely stepped on the accelerator before quickly catching up.
"Driver, please take note to see if there are any cars following us from behind." Ji Feng added. Since the rear view mirror was only for the driver to observe the environment outside, Ji Feng, who was sitting in the front seat, couldn't see the situation behind him.
When he said that, the driver became even more confused. He looked at him warily as if he wanted to ask something. However, in the end, he opened his mouth and stopped himself.
Ji Feng acted as if he didn't see anything, only paying close attention to the situation in front and on both sides of him.
The taxi drove on for about twenty minutes, but nothing happened. Ji Feng didn't see anything out of the ordinary. The driver also didn't see the car following them, so Ji Feng slightly let out a sigh of relief. At the very least, he could send her home safely.
Since it was his first time in Cantonese, Ji Feng did not know how far away his hotel was from Rong Yuanyan's home. In any case, he did not care about these things as Rong Su Yan and the white spider took a taxi to lead the way.
After about forty minutes, Ji Feng noticed that there were fewer buildings on both sides of the road and they were becoming spa.r.s.er. He knew that they had arrived at a place near the suburbs.
Very soon, a group of villas entered Ji Feng's sight. The taxi of Rong Su Yan and the white spider had already started to slow down, and Ji Feng realized that Rong Su Yan's home should be nearby.
The rows of villas were quickly left behind. As the taxi entered the villa area, Ji Feng could not help but frown. He should not have followed them anymore. Otherwise, if there really was someone following them, they would easily be brought to Rong family.
However, at this time, a black car suddenly entered Ji Feng's sight.
This was a black Buick with a Yuezhou license plate. At this time, this car was pa.s.sing by the front door of the villa complex. After stopping at the door for a while, they then entered the villa complex.
In fact, there was nothing special about this. However, Ji Feng could tell at a glance that the man sitting on the pa.s.senger seat was the one who had fought the white spider this morning. Although it was still quite a distance away and it was still evening, Ji Feng was still able to see everything clearly.
"Master, stop the car!" Ji Feng immediately shouted.
The driver glanced at him, then stopped the car. He said something else, but Ji Feng didn't care. He looked at the meter, then quickly paid and got off.
After which, Ji Feng stood by the roadside, quietly waiting for the black Buick to arrive.
However, in the taxi leading the way, Rong Su Yan turned her head to look at Ji Feng from time to time, but the moment Ji Feng stepped out of the taxi, she discovered him. After that, she quickly paid the driver and walked over with the spider.
"Young Master Ji, we still have some time before we get home. Why did you get off the car earlier?" Rong Luo Yan walked over quickly.
Ji Feng immediately frowned and waved his hands at the two of them, signalling them not to come over. If the people in the black Buick had weapons, Ji Feng might not be able to protect them.
However, the lights of the villa area were not very bright either. Rong Su Yan and the white spider could not even see Ji Feng's movements as they quickly approached him.
"This is really …" Ji Feng couldn't help but to shake his head. After which, he swiftly walked towards Rong Luo Yan and the rest.
"Young Master Ji, why did you advance …?"
"Let's not talk about this for now. You guys go home now, hurry up!" As he spoke, Ji Feng's tall and st.u.r.dy body happened to block Rong Su Yan and the white spider.
"Young Master Ji, is something wrong?" The spider instantly realized that something was off. Ji Feng's words were urgent, and were obviously out of the ordinary.
"Nothing happened. You guys go back first, I'll go out and buy a pack of cigarettes …" Ji Feng tried to find an excuse.
Rong Su Yan and the spider looked at him doubtfully. The spider in particular did not believe Ji Feng's excuse, but she did not insist. Instead, she said, "Young Master Ji, be careful."
After that, she pulled Rong Su Yan along and left.
Ji Feng shot a glance at the black Buick and realized that the car had stopped not far from the entrance. He let out a sigh of relief as he scanned his surroundings. He randomly found a fork in the road and walked towards it.
From his point of view, the people inside the Buick were definitely coming for him. If that was the case, the car would definitely follow him along the route that he and the others couldn't take. Only when both of them were safe would he be able to relax and play around with the people inside the Buick.
"Boss, it's that woman!" In the Buick, the hulk in the pa.s.senger seat stared at the white spider's back and said, "This woman is very tricky to deal with. If I were to fight her head on, I won't be able to win!"
"Is she that powerful?" The skinny old man was shocked, "Second Bro, where's that brat? How's his martial arts?"
"I don't know, I didn't see him make a move." The second brother shook his head and said, "However, the woman beside Rong Luo Yan must be dealt with by the combined efforts of me and the third brother."
"That's good. Let's follow them first. We'll make our move when it's quiet in the middle of the night." Skinny Monkey immediately said, "Second and third brother, it shouldn't be a problem for you two to deal with that woman and that brat, right?"
"As long as that brat isn't as hard to deal with as that woman, there won't be any problems!" The second brother said from the pa.s.senger seat.
"Don't worry, second brother. I've dealt with that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d before, and he's only a bit taller. His strength is a bit stronger, so it's no big deal!" Zhang Liqin, who was sitting in the back row, said, "Even if ten of them were tied together, they still wouldn't be a match for you, second brother!"
"Then there's no problem." The second brother said.
"Ok, let's go. Ol 'Three, drive." Skinny Monkey Boss said.
"Boss, that kid seemed to have gone elsewhere. Who are we following?" Ol 'Three who was in charge of driving asked.
"Of course it's to follow the main target!" Skinny Monkey Boss said.
"Oh!"
Ol 'Three nodded and immediately stepped on the throttle, chasing after Rong Su Yan and the white spider.
As for Ji Feng, he walked along one of the forks in the road, only to discover that the Buick wasn't following him. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Was he trying to conceal himself? Or should he hide?
He was about to go back when he saw the black Buick pa.s.s by, but it was heading in the direction in which Rong's group had left.
"They are … for Rong Su Yan?! " Ji Feng was startled as he stared at the black Buick that was pa.s.sing by. However, he was surprised to find a familiar person sitting in the back seat.
It was the Zhang Liqin that he had seen on the plane!
Ji Feng immediately recognized this fellow. He couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Following that, Ji Feng returned along the same route, following behind the Buick from a distance. He wanted to see what kind of background the people in the car had, and why did it feel like there were fish and dragons mixed in it?!
