"You know what, this time, it's really different."

Yue Feng said to Ji Yuanhai: "What Yue Qing said is that he came to inform us of a piece of news in exchange for some benefits."

"Oh?"

Ji Yuanhai was a little uncertain: "What he meant was that he had a message for us, and then he sold it to us at a price?"

"Yes, that's what he meant." Yue Feng said.

"What is the news?" Ji Yuanhai asked again.

Yue Feng then said, "Yue Qing said that about two days ago, someone called him anonymously and told him that you made tens of millions of dollars in Wangtan County and were going to be the county magistrate."

"The anonymous caller persuaded Yue Qing to at least make a scene. Even if it resulted in tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, it would be enough for Yue Qing to eat, drink and have fun for a while."

Ji Yuanhai was quite surprised: "Yue Qing didn't follow the anonymous caller's suggestion, but went to you to get some benefits? This is impossible, right? When did he become so wise and considerate of the overall situation?"

"Is this still Yue Qing?"

"I was also surprised at the time." Yue Feng said, "You know what Yue Qing is like. How could he see things clearly and thoroughly? Even if there were no outsiders to instigate, his family wanted to make trouble with us, not to mention that there were outsiders to instigate, and there were so many interests... I didn't expect him to come to me and talk like this."

"Then, Yue Qing said something that made me feel very emotional."

"Perhaps he and my second uncle's family are not as bad as we think. They just simply want some benefits. If the benefits can be satisfied, they may become our helpers."

When Ji Yuanhai heard Yue Feng's tone loosen, he immediately became a little alert.

The Yue Qing family has changed their strategy. If hard tactics don't work, they'll try soft tactics. Do they want to gain benefits in this way?

Ji Yuanhai personally met Yue Qing's family, and also learned about the family's deeds through Yue Qing's wife Huang Chanjuan. He can conclude that this family will never repent, will definitely not be satisfied with any benefits, and then be at ease to help Yue Feng.

Because of this, Ji Yuanhai was not confused at all, and he immediately realized that something was wrong with Yue Feng's slight change in tone.

"Brother Yue, what did Yue Qing say to make you so emotional?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

"Yue Qing said that he came here for three reasons this time."

Yue Feng recounted what Yue Qing said to him last night: "The first reason is that he and I are brothers with the same blood of the Yue family. No matter how much our family members quarrel, it is our own business and we cannot let outsiders laugh at us."

"The second reason is that he was fooled once before. Ma Xiangqian wanted to use him as a gun to deal with others and to clean him up at the same time. After that experience, Yue Qing was particularly wary and distrustful of this matter. He could tell that the person who made the anonymous call was the same despicable and sinister person as Ma Xiangqian."

"So I came here specifically to give you a heads up, to see if I can get some benefits after I explain myself clearly."

When Ji Yuanhai heard the second reason Yue Qing mentioned, he couldn't help but laugh.

For this reason, it makes perfect sense.

Yue Qing was once infected with syphilis by Ma Xiangqian, and after a lot of trouble, he finally completely lost his ability as a man. This was verified by Huang Chanjuan.

It is completely understandable that Yue Qing was afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once.

If that’s the case, then the anonymous phone call could actually be true, and not just something that Yue Qing’s family wrote and staged?

Ji Yuanhai began to believe the truth of Yue Qing's words to some extent.

However, the third reason Yue Feng mentioned immediately afterwards made him speechless and even disgusted.

"Yue Qing also mentioned a third reason, which was to send me ginseng. After all, no matter how noisy they were, they were still brothers and couldn't bear to see me suffer from my illness, so he bought two pieces of good ginseng and sent them to me."

Ji Yuanhai immediately asked Yue Feng: "Brother Yue, do you think this is believable?"

Yue Feng said hesitantly, "Of course, I can't believe it completely, but it's not necessarily true."

"I feel like that anonymous phone call really did happen."

"Well, I think it might be true." Ji Yuanhai replied, "Yue Qing was betrayed by Ma Xiangqian in the beginning, so it's reasonable for him not to be used as a pawn anymore."

"But what he said about brotherhood, Yue family bloodline, and that he sent ginseng specifically for you, that was very fake."

Ji Yuanhai's words made Yue Feng silent for a few seconds. Perhaps he couldn't stand such straightforward words.

But after a few seconds, Yue Feng agreed: "Yes, Yuan Hai, you are right."

"I feel like Yue Qing doesn't have much sincerity here. He just wants to say a few nice words and use two ginsengs to build a good relationship with us, and then try to exchange for some benefits."

Ji Yuanhai felt that there was nothing wrong with Yue Feng's idea: "Yes, Brother Yue, I think so too."

"So, Yuan Hai, do you think we should give Yue Qing some benefits?" Yue Feng asked.

"If that's all you have to say, I feel like it's a little inappropriate to give Yue Qing benefits directly." Ji Yuanhai replied, "You know what kind of person Yue Qing is and what kind of character he has. If you give him benefits today, he will dare to make up new anonymous calls tomorrow to ask for more benefits."

"Even if we all feel that this anonymous call should be true, we still need Yue Qing to tell us more details so that we can make a further judgment."

"Brother Yue, did Yue Qing say anything about the details of this anonymous phone call?"

Yue Feng replied: "There are a lot of details."

"Yue Qing said that the person who called had a southern accent, but also spoke northern dialect. He seemed to be a northerner who had been to the south."

"He also speculated that the call might have been arranged by a man named Cao Xiong."

Ji Yuanhai was even more surprised: "Yue Qing really remembered the details and actually made a conclusion? How did he guess it was Cao Xiong?"

Yue Feng responded: "Yue Qing said that among the people he knew who could make such a call, the first person he thought of was Cao Xiong, who had once lived a life of debauchery with him in the south. From the sound of his voice, it wasn't Cao Xiong, but it could be one of Cao Xiong's subordinates."

"Another point is that Cao Xiong once treated him as a fool, promised him some things, and cheated him out of a lot of money."

"Yue Qing feels that this person who is hiding and not daring to show up, but knows Yue Qing's phone number, is Cao Xiong. Yue Qing said that only this wicked guy can do such a thing."

Ji Yuanhai suddenly fell into deep thought, thinking that Yue Qing was really interesting.

Although he is a nothing, but in the "nothing" channel, he can aim accurately at the target, which is really useful.

What’s more interesting is, if it is really Cao Xiong, what does that mean?
