Flawless Metropolitan Divine Emperor

Chapter 0079 – Just in time

Jiang Feng thought of a solution: the Weng family.

He had done a favor for the Weng family, who held a high status in Meilong City. Lv Liangsheng was from the Lv family in Meilong City, so he must be aware of the Weng family's influence. If Weng Shanlin could step in, the Lv family might hesitate and give up on this matter.

"Little Feng, do you really have a solution?" Jiang Jianjun asked.

"Yes, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it will work. I'll contact them right away," Jiang Feng nodded.

"It would be great if it works, but if it doesn't, then so be it," Jiang Jianjun said.

"I understand, Dad," Jiang Feng replied.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Feng decided to contact Weng Shanlin. However, he didn't have Weng Shanlin's direct contact information; he only had the contacts of Weng Dongtai and Weng Xiaoxi.

After some thought, Jiang Feng decided to call Weng Xiaoxi. After all, she was often by Weng Shanlin's side and was the best person to reach him quickly.

Weng Dongtai was a busy man and might be occupied, so it was better not to disturb him.

"Hello, is this Senior Jiang?" Weng Xiaoxi's excited voice came from the other end.

"It's me, Xiaoxi," Jiang Feng said.

"Senior, what made you think of calling me? Is there something you need?" Weng Xiaoxi asked.

"Yes, I need your grandfather's help with something. Are you with him?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Yes, I'll pass the phone to my grandpa right away," Weng Xiaoxi said.

Soon, Weng Shanlin took the phone and said, "Haha, Brother Jiang, what can I do for you?"

"Brother Weng, here's the situation: I'm facing a difficult problem and had no choice but to turn to you. If you can't help, don't force it; just do your best," Jiang Feng explained.

"Tell me what the problem is first," Weng Shanlin said.

"Do you know the Lv family?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Are you talking about the Lv family in Meilong City?" Weng Shanlin asked.

"Exactly," Jiang Feng replied.

"Of course, I know them. So, what's the issue with them?" Weng Shanlin asked.

"I opened a factory in my hometown, and now Lv Liangsheng from the Lv family is coming to develop the area. He insists that I give up the factory. They've already had the environmental protection department seal my factory, and their attitude is very tough. After thinking it over, I could only turn to you," Jiang Feng said.

"I see," Weng Shanlin said. "It's just the Lv family; this is an easy matter. I'll give you a definite answer this afternoon."

Weng Shanlin agreed readily, clearly not taking the Lv family seriously at all.

"Thank you so much, Brother Weng. If this works out, I'll owe you a big favor," Jiang Feng said happily.

"It's a small matter. No need to worry about it, Brother Jiang. I'll handle it right away and have Xiaoxi contact you later," Weng Shanlin said.

"Alright, goodbye," Jiang Feng said, hanging up the phone, feeling much better.

He hoped Weng Shanlin could resolve this issue and get them out of their current predicament.

"How did it go? Will it work?" Jiang Jianjun asked nervously and excitedly.

"It's settled. We'll have an answer this afternoon, so everyone can relax," Jiang Feng said.

"That's great, that's great," Jiang Jianjun said with a smile.

He hadn't smiled for days, but today he finally felt relieved.

"That's wonderful! There's finally hope. I hope everything will turn out well," Zhang Mei said excitedly.

"Everything will be fine," Jiang Aiqin said.

"Big brother is amazing. Just a phone call and he can handle such a big issue," Lü Shengguang said.

"Don't get too excited yet. We don't know if it will work out. Let's wait for the result before celebrating. We might still be disappointed, so be prepared," Jiang Feng reminded everyone.

"It's okay. Whether it works out or not, at least Lv Liangsheng will know we're not to be messed with. We have our own connections," Jiang Jianjun said.

"Exactly," Zhang Mei said. "Even if we can't keep the factory, we won't lose our dignity."

Jiang Feng nodded slightly. His parents were right. He hoped Weng Shanlin would bring good news in the afternoon.

...

In the afternoon, everyone was anxiously waiting for the final result.

Suddenly, a car stopped outside the factory gate. Jiang Feng recognized it as Lv Liangsheng's car.

Sure enough, Lv Liangsheng got out of the car. As soon as he stood still, a convoy of trucks, along with several giant bulldozers and cranes, followed, churning up the ground and kicking up dust.

It looked like they were here for demolition!

The workers were startled and gathered together in fear. They seemed to understand that Lv Liangsheng was serious this time.

Lv Liangsheng glanced at Jiang Feng, paused for a moment, and then strode towards him.

Jiang Feng's heart sank. He hadn't expected Lv Liangsheng to come so quickly. Could it be that Weng Shanlin hadn't managed to resolve the issue?

From Lv Liangsheng's demeanor, it seemed the matter hadn't been resolved.

"Have you made up your mind? This is your last chance. If you haven't decided, then I'm sorry, but once the bulldozers start, this place will be turned into rubble," Lv Liangsheng said with a smirk. "By then, it will be too late to cry."

"Haha, you came prepared today. You should know that what you're doing is illegal. Even if I don't do anything, the law will punish you," Jiang Feng said with a cold smile.

"Hahaha, if I dared to stand here, I'm not afraid of that. If you don't agree to transfer the factory today, I'll make sure you see it turned into rubble," Lv Liangsheng laughed.

Jiang Feng was truly angry this time. Lv Liangsheng was pushing him too far. If he really dared to touch the factory, Jiang Feng would kill him today, even if it meant going on the run.

"Try touching it, and see what happens," Jiang Feng took a step forward, staring coldly at Lv Liangsheng.

Jiang Feng's gaze was icy and deep, like a sharp blade, causing Lv Liangsheng to take a step back, unable to meet Jiang Feng's eyes.

"You... you... don't think I won't dare. Men, start the demolition," Lv Liangsheng shouted, trying to sound tough.

"Hold on."

At that moment, a low-key yet luxurious car sped towards them. As soon as it stopped, someone jumped out and ran towards them, shouting, "Lv Liangsheng, stop! Don't touch anything here."

"Leader Gao, why did you come in person? You could have just called me. Why come to a place like this?" Lv Liangsheng was surprised and very respectful upon seeing the newcomer.

The person was none other than Gao Weida, the highest-ranking official in Qingzhu County. Lv Liangsheng had to show him respect.

He needed Gao Weida's support for his upcoming projects in Qingzhu County. Without it, his plans would be difficult to execute.

"I had to come in person. Look at what you've done. How could you be so reckless, trying to forcibly demolish someone's factory? It's outrageous. If I hadn't come, you would have caused a disaster," Gao Weida said angrily.

Lv Liangsheng was confused. What was going on? Why had things suddenly changed? Before coming here, Gao Weida had been supportive.

Lv Liangsheng had a hundred questions but cautiously asked, "Leader Gao, didn't you know about this? And you agreed to it."

"Who said that? I know nothing about it. This was all your doing. Don't drag me into it. It's all your fault," Gao Weida denied everything, putting all the blame on Lv Liangsheng.

Before coming here, Lv Liangsheng had indeed gotten Gao Weida's approval. This was an undeniable fact. Clearly, Gao Weida was lying, not wanting to be associated with this matter.

Lv Liangsheng realized something was wrong and quickly asked, "Leader Gao, what happened? Please tell me."

Gao Weida impatiently replied, "Don't ask. You'll find out soon enough."

Then, Gao Weida walked up to Jiang Feng, smiling and politely said, "May I ask if you are Jiang Feng?"

Jiang Feng was slightly taken aback. What was going on?

"Yes, I'm Jiang Feng. Do you know me?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Haha, I just heard about you today. I didn't know before. I didn't expect Qingzhu County to have such a talented young man like you. It's rare," Gao Weida said, surprisingly flattering Jiang Feng.

A high-ranking official treating Jiang Feng like this would surely shock his subordinates.

"Thank you for the compliment," Jiang Feng said awkwardly.

"By the way, do you know Weng Jianlai?" Gao Weida suddenly asked in a low voice.

Weng Jianlai!

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up. Could it be that Weng Shanlin had called Weng Jianlai, who then contacted Gao Weida, leading to this situation?

It must be.

"Yes, we know each other," Jiang Feng said.

"That's right. He called me earlier, saying you were in trouble, so I rushed over to stop this misunderstanding," Gao Weida explained.

"Thank you so much," Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"Don't mention it. Just put in a good word for me with Weng Jianlai in the future," Gao Weida said, rubbing his hands.

So, this guy wanted to curry favor with the Weng family. No wonder he was so eager.

Jiang Feng said, "Don't worry. I'll definitely speak well of you to Leader Weng when I get the chance. Besides, you came just in time today. Without you, my factory might not have survived."

"Haha, it's my duty. My duty," Gao Weida said, delighted that Jiang Feng agreed.

"In that case, let's get Lv Liangsheng out of here. I find him an eyesore," Jiang Feng said coldly, looking at Lv Liangsheng with disdain.

With Gao Weida here, Jiang Feng had nothing to fear. Lv Liangsheng wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

At this moment, Lv Liangsheng's face was ashen, like he had lost everything. His lips trembled as he tried to speak.

He now understood that Jiang Feng had found a powerful backer who had sent Gao Weida to intervene and clear his name.

From Gao Weida's attitude towards Jiang Feng, it was clear that Jiang Feng's backer was someone of high status, someone even Gao Weida couldn't offend and had to curry favor with.

Was his project going to be halted? No, he couldn't accept that.

Lv Liangsheng said, "Leader Gao, we've already signed a contract. We can't just terminate it; otherwise, it would be a breach of contract."

Lv Liangsheng planned to use the contract to force Gao Weida to comply.
