Wind Rises in Dragon City Chapter 165

In the car, Lu Feng paused briefly and advised with moderation: "When the Dock Workers Association has internal strife, we're showing more enthusiasm than the parties involved - isn't that unnecessary?"
"Since you've bet on Xu Hu, you have to help him. If he falls, your bet on him will definitely be lost too!" Li Xing said with furrowed brows. "You chant Buddhist scriptures all day, don't you understand even this principle?"
"Fine, you know so much, then you go," Lu Feng saw the other's barbed words and stopped advising, directly hanging up the phone and looking up to call to the driver: "Stop the car, let's just wait here for a while."
"Huh? Not going anymore?" the driver asked.
"Li Xing is showing more enthusiasm than Xu Hu's own son - why should we go steal his credit? Wouldn't that just annoy people?" Lu Feng said lazily. "Have a smoke, chat a bit, that's nice."
Beside him, a burly man looked at Lu Feng's expression and suddenly said: "Brother Feng, I feel... you've really become different lately, seem uninterested in everything, not fighting or competing anymore."
Lu Feng took a drag on his cigarette: "When I did fight, taking on the Su, Bai, and Kong families alone, in the end my brother went to jail, money was lost, and not only did I not get a word of comfort, I even faced lots of blame, with Li Xing cursing me as useless... what's left for me to fight for?"
The burly man fell silent.
"Moreover, with dock gang internal strife, you can choose to support Xu Hu, back him secretly, but you can't jump in yourself and act with them, even fight alongside them - from a Buddhist perspective, this is unwise, foolish," Lu Feng said mystically, his words deep with Zen meaning.
Everyone was confused, and the burly man asked in shock: "This can be connected to Buddhism too?"
"Of course, any matter can be explained through Buddhist thinking, to glimpse heaven's workings!" Lu Feng spoke increasingly mysteriously.
The burly man blinked: "Then explain this matter to me?"
Lu Feng took a deep drag on his cigarette and said while fingering his prayer beads: "Buddhism speaks of cause and effect - if you don't seek effects, you must avoid causes! Look - Nick's matter, Gu Tongshan's matter, guns fired in the city and several people died - these are prior causes! Going forward, dock gang chaos, Xu Hu wanting power, making Zha'nan chaotic, now he wants to kill Wei Xiangzuo - these are subsequent causes! We were originally outsiders, but now we've been completely drawn into this matter! Our position has changed from observers to insiders, so you can't escape connection to all future effects!"
The burly man looked bewildered: "Brother, why does this sound like gibberish to me!"
"Your wisdom roots are shallow, very ignorant," Lu Feng explained helplessly. "Who manages Buddhist rules in the city?! That's the fucking government! Recently, serious cases have occurred frequently. The Police Bureau seems to fear the dock gang's size, not daring to suppress too much for fear of causing mass incidents, but they're actually holding back anger! The Dock Workers Association and Changqing rely on their size and social influence to cause endless trouble - whose face are they slapping?"
The burly man was stunned.
"Every cause has its effect," Lu Feng said lazily. "Whether Xu Hu succeeds or not, this effect will come sooner or later, understand? We could have originally avoided the prior causes, but Old Li was too eager and had to jump in himself, so this effect will eventually come to Changqing too. Watch, someone will pay for this."
Hearing these words, the burly man was completely convinced: "Big Brother is truly Big Brother! This explanation almost made me convert!"
"With faith, the heart becomes pure."
"Brother is amazing, but please don't really become a monk! The brothers couldn't take it!"
"My wisdom roots are also shallow - my connection with Buddha ends at the threshold," Lu Feng put on quite a rounded act.
Everyone sweated profusely - why bother conversing with the Master when their thinking wasn't on the same level?
......
Outside Dragon City.
The Su family convoy was speeding on the highway, but because their vehicle types weren't uniform and they had many people, they weren't very fast.
Behind them, Li Xing's police convoy had caught up and was about to block them near the border line.
In the car, a police officer looking at the Su family convoy said to Li Xing: "You should still call Lu Feng, have him bring people up! The Su family seems to have quite a few people."
"Would they dare resist arrest?! If they really resist arrest, that would be even better!" Li Xing replied with a dark expression, immediately urging: "Go faster, when we're close enough fire warning shots!"
At these words, the convoy increased speed again.
......
On the road to Chi Jun's base in Xinaluo.
Yao Doudou and Su Tianyu personally treated Wei Xiangzuo and his brothers' wounds, and gave them emergency antibiotics shots.
After everything was settled, Su Tianyu was still worried about the situation in Dragon City and called Big Bai again to communicate.
In the car, Wei Xiangzuo sat in the back seat and suddenly asked Yao Doudou: "Brother, where are you from?!"
Yao Doudou looked at him expressionlessly: "Chinese!"
"...!" Hearing this answer, Wei Xiangzuo knew the other didn't want to talk much with him, so he didn't ask further.
After a little while, the car stopped by the road as everyone waited for Chi Jun's people to come receive them.
Wei Xiangzuo felt Old Gao's forehead, feeling somewhat anxious.
......
In Dragon City, at the Police Bureau.
Just as Wang Daolin was about to leave, he was suddenly called to the deputy director's office.
"What is it, leader?!" Wang Daolin greeted his superior with bows and nods.
The deputy director directly took out a document from his drawer and handed it to Wang Daolin saying: "Deal with him!"
Wang Daolin opened the document and glanced at it, his expression somewhat strange: "What's the reason?!"
"Illegal assembly, suspected involvement in gang activities," the deputy director couldn't be bothered to explain, only saying flatly: "Find the rest of the reasons yourself, deal with him harshly!"
"Hehe, those above are..." Wang Daolin said half a sentence.
"Damn it, because of this fucking port, police units in all four districts of Dragon City are working overtime!" the deputy director cursed leaning back in his chair. "Our chiefs went to a meeting today and got thoroughly scolded by the council people!"
Wang Daolin immediately nodded: "Understood!"
"Go!" the deputy director waved his hand.
Wang Daolin left with the document.
......
On the road to Xinaluo, Su Tianyu's group only waited a short while before seeing Chi Jun's vehicles coming to meet them.
Everyone got out of their cars, preparing to talk with them, and at this moment, Wei Xiangzuo inadvertently noticed that one of the men following behind Yao Doudou was missing half his left ear.
Seeing this, Wei Xiangzuo was completely stunned as a series of clues instantly connected in his mind!
