Chapter 83

Fang Tianfeng knew that the other party didn't believe him, so he no longer tried to persuade. However, this Director Wu still knew his limits; upon hearing the bad news, he didn't lose his temper.

After that, Fang Tianfeng basically didn't interject, just listening to their conversation. This was a good opportunity to broaden his horizons, as many things were something he normally wouldn't encounter.

Halfway through the meal, Fang Tianfeng went to the restroom. On his way back, he ran into an acquaintance, and the two looked at each other.

Fang Tianfeng said half-jokingly, "Officer Song, I've told you twice that you should treat me to a meal when you get a promotion, but it seems you don't take me seriously. Forget it, I'll just pretend I don't know you from now on."

Song Shijie smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Fang, if you say that, where would my old face go? I only heard about the possibility yesterday, and it's not even certain yet. But the deputy battalion commander and my colleagues urged me to book a private room here, and now a thousand yuan is gone. I was just thinking of finding a place to cry. This is the first time I've come to such a high-end place."

Fang Tianfeng laughed and said, "Don't take it to heart, I was just saying."

Song Shijie asked, "Who are you here with? If there's no problem, I'll come and toast you to apologize."

Fang Tianfeng suspected that Song Shijie's promotion might be related to Director Wu, so he didn't hide it and said, "I'm having dinner with Director Wu and his group. If you think it's appropriate, come and toast me."

Song Shijie hurriedly asked, "The Director Wu from Changyun District?"

"That's right, isn't he your superior?" Fang Tianfeng asked.

"He's my superior's superior," Song Shijie said, a bit nervous.

Fang Tianfeng nodded and said, "I'll go in first."

Seeing Fang Tianfeng enter room 206, Song Shijie stared at the room number for a while, then turned and left.

After Fang Tianfeng returned to the private room, he continued chatting with them. Director Gao was no longer as cautious as before and started to talk more.

Director Wu and Director Gao asked Fang Tianfeng's identity multiple times, and Fang Tianfeng answered truthfully, but they refused to believe him.

The four were drinking when a knock came at the door, followed by Song Shijie and another person pushing the door open.

The person bowed and greeted, "Director Wu, I heard you were here, so I came to toast you."

Director Wu smiled and stood up, without any airs, saying, "Captain Li, come in and talk, sit down."

Fang Tianfeng and the other two also stood up, waiting for the two to enter and sit down.

Captain Li and Song Shijie first drank a toast. Captain Li was composed, but Song Shijie was a bit nervous.

Fang Tianfeng patted Song Shijie's shoulder, signaling him to relax, then said to Director Wu, "Director Wu, your subordinate is quite good. Last time when Chang'an Garden had an incident, it was thanks to Officer Song. Later, when my sister had an incident at a KTV, he also helped."

Director Wu nodded and said to Song Shijie, "In your new position, work hard."

"Thank you, Director, for your guidance," Song Shijie quickly drank a toast. With Director Wu's words, his promotion was a sure thing.

Director Wu smiled and said, "No need to be so formal at the dinner table."

Captain Li said a few words, understanding that he couldn't stay long, and got up to leave. Director Wu smiled and tried to keep him, but Captain Li said someone was waiting, so he and Song Shijie left.

As soon as the two walked out and before the door closed, five people passed by the door, the leader of whom was quite drunk.

Captain Li saw and quickly said, "Mayor Wu."

Song Shijie then saw that the person was indeed the Vice Mayor of Yunhai City and the Public Security Bureau Director. He immediately greeted him, thinking it was going to be bad. The two "Director Wu" were currently at odds.

Fang Tianfeng and the other three stood not far from the door to see them off. The Vice Mayor glanced inside and was taken aback.

The Vice Mayor, reeking of alcohol, smiled and said, "Little Wu is here too? Who are these people? Why don't you introduce them to me?"

Director Wu smiled similarly and said, "Director Wu, are you leaving? If I had known earlier, I would have come to toast you."

The Vice Mayor's eyes flashed, and his smile faded slightly.

The Vice Mayor had been recently promoted to Vice Mayor. The old-timers and outsiders could call him Director Wu, but being called Director instead of Mayor here was intentional. However, Little Director Wu was also one of the Vice Mayor's old subordinates, so calling him Director Wu wasn't wrong.

Fang Tianfeng was secretly delighted and used the Qi-Viewing Technique to look at the Vice Mayor.

"Consistent with my previous guess, at this level, it's impossible to have no women. Indeed, besides his wife, he has four women he's been close to recently. This person is quite bold, with over ten million in assets, and his relatives likely have even more. He also has a lot of resentment, which can be used!"

Fang Tianfeng, standing among the crowd, but invisible to anyone, a small peach-colored sword, about the length of a finger, appeared before his brow, emitting a captivating force. Any man who saw this sword would be entranced, lost in reverie.

The seductive sword flew out at an incredible speed, striking the Vice Mayor's aura column five times!

Five clumps of peach-colored seductive aura were shattered, detached from the Vice Mayor's aura column, and floated around, slowly recondensing. In at most three days, they would return to normal.

The seductive sword quickly returned, and Fang Tianfeng, instead of relaxing, became even more alert. A purple regal sword, exuding a kingly aura, appeared before his chest, the tip pointing down, like a general standing amidst a thousand soldiers, with boundless might.

The next moment, the official aura column above the Vice Mayor's head swayed slightly, and a thick, golden light, like the rising sun, shone toward Fang Tianfeng.

Fang Tianfeng was greatly alarmed, not expecting the Vice Mayor's official aura to be so strong. If he were hit directly, his luck might scatter, and the qi river in his body would fall back to its initial state.

However, an even more brilliant golden light appeared from an unknown place, intercepting 90% of the Vice Mayor's official aura light.

Then, the resentment sword inside Fang Tianfeng's body vibrated, resonating with the resentment aura above the Vice Mayor's head. The Vice Mayor's resentment aura boiled, forming a green smoke-like face, which opened its mouth and swallowed 90% of the remaining light.

The official aura light that finally reached Fang Tianfeng was only 1% of the original, but even this 1% was beyond what Fang Tianfeng's own luck could withstand.

Fang Tianfeng was enveloped by the golden light, which was high and mighty, irresistible, determined to crush all opposing luck.

The regal sword emitted a clear, ringing sound that only Fang Tianfeng could hear, meeting the final official aura light and striking it with all its might.

Cut the official aura!

Rip!

A sound like tearing paper rang out, and the sky was filled with golden dust, which scattered. The regal sword's surface showed cracks and could not be used for a short time.

Fang Tianfeng's body shook, his head spinning, but he mobilized the remaining qi in his body, using the Qi-Attracting Technique to grab the golden dust and absorb it into the qi river.

In the end, Fang Tianfeng had a small clump of golden official aura in his body.

In just a few seconds, an incredibly intense battle occurred without anyone noticing.

The victor, Fang Tianfeng!

"Close call! If it weren't for the combined power of the He family, resentment, and regal aura, I definitely couldn't have withstood such a powerful official aura. With my current abilities, I'm still far from being able to confront officials at the vice-mayor level. Fortunately, this time it was just targeting the seductive aura attached to him. If I had directly cut his official aura or life aura, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Official aura is harder to obtain than regal aura because China is an official-centric country, and official aura is the heaviest, almost a whole, making it difficult to steal. If it weren't for his official aura attacking outside his body, I would need to cultivate to the fourth level of the Heavenly Luck Formula to possibly steal the lowest level of official aura. Once an official aura of a vice-mayor level is cultivated into an official aura sword, its power far exceeds ordinary official aura. In short, I made a huge profit!"

After the first luck battle, it took Fang Tianfeng a while to recover. He didn't know what they had just said, but he saw the Vice Mayor coldly snort and, using the alcohol as an excuse, say, "Little Wu, you better watch yourself!" and then leave.

"Goodbye, Director Wu."

Little Director Wu, Director Gao, Zhao Binglei, and Fang Tianfeng closed the door and sat down again.

Captain Li and Song Shijie stood outside the door, looking at each other, unable to speak for a long time.

The two slowly moved away from room 206 and stopped at their own private room door.

"Captain, will Mayor Wu remember us?" Song Shijie asked.

Captain Li lowered his voice and said, "He's known for holding grudges. Now that we've been caught by him, as long as he's in power, our positions won't move!"

Song Shijie looked dejected and said, "I've been waiting for so long to possibly become a deputy chief, but now not only will I not get the promotion, but I've also lost over a thousand yuan! Why was I so stupid to go and toast him!"

Captain Li said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. Now we can only hope that Director Wu gets promoted and Mayor Wu steps down. But the chances are slim."

Song Shijie sighed and said, "If it doesn't work out, I'll go find Mr. Fang, maybe he can help."

Fang Tianfeng took a sip of wine, slowly eating the pepper-salt shrimp, while listening to Director Wu talk about the Vice Mayor's scandals.

Director Wu had drunk a lot and was getting more and more agitated.

"If it weren't for his blind command, would that brother in our bureau have died? But in the end, it was clearly his fault, yet he manipulated things to turn the dead into a hero, and then started a campaign to learn from that brother, gaining political capital and further promotion! I despise his face the most!"

"When he first became the bureau director, he got drunk the day before and didn't prepare for the speech. He even read the extra notes the secretary had marked, and we were all stunned. Then we blindly clapped, embarrassing him! Hahaha!"

Fang Tianfeng found it hard to believe and asked, "Is that true?"

Director Gao laughed and interjected, "There are many funny stories in the political arena, some even more exaggerated."

Director Wu, feeling satisfied with his rant, said to Fang Tianfeng, "Master Fang, Changxiong said you can expose his evidence. Is that true?"

Director Gao smiled but didn't speak.

"Yes, I've already completed it," Fang Tianfeng said.

Director Wu became excited, leaning forward and asking, "Master Fang, can you give me a time? Otherwise, I can't believe you."

Fang Tianfeng smiled mysteriously and said, "It could be one day, or it could be three days."

Director Gao laughed and said, "If Master Fang can predict the time, can you tell us what it's about?"

"His downfall is due to women," Fang Tianfeng said with a deep expression.
