Chapter 42: Cooperation
Qin Feng returned to the Qin residence and recounted the events of the day to his father and stepmother.
Upon hearing this, Qin Jian’an was furious. “This is simply outrageous! They dare to deceive us and resort to such despicable means. Do they really think I, a third-grade general serving the country, can be easily bullied?”
In the Great Qian Dynasty, a third-grade general like Qin Jian’an was someone anyone could trample on. Qin Feng remained silent, silently watching his father putting up a front, establishing himself as the head of the family in front of his stepmother.
After a passionate speech, Qin Jian’an felt at ease. He managed to send away his stepmother and then cleared his throat, asking, “So, Feng’er, what do you propose?”
“I knew it would come to this.” Qin Feng smirked and immediately whispered his plan to his father.
Upon hearing it, Qin Jian’an hesitated. “Feng’er, isn’t your approach similar to deceiving the common people? Isn’t that unethical?”
“Yes, yes, giving away money like you do is the ideal approach,” Qin Feng sarcastically thought to himself. He patiently explained, “It’s because the City Lord’s Mansion didn’t adhere to moral principles first. We are just responding accordingly. Furthermore, our approach doesn’t swindle money from the common people. They can choose where to eat; they have their own preferences.”
“Very well then,” his father finally agreed and instructed his subordinates to carry out the plan immediately.
Qin Feng hurriedly rushed to the Demon Slayer Department in Jinyang City and met with the Chief, Si Zheng.
