Fanatic!

Chapter 90 Blame Yourself
At night, the wind blew across the rooftop, ruffling Shark Nine's short hair.

"Senior sister, I'll head back now if there's nothing else." Chen Wujun greeted her, and seeing that Shark Nine had nothing else to say, she turned and left.

Shark Nine turned his head to watch Chen Wujun leave, and after a moment his gaze fell into the distance, his eyes unfocused yet cold.

"Jixiang...don't blame me! Blame yourself."

Chen Wujun was unaware that Shark Nine had been allowing him to deal with Ji Xiang all along.

Shark Nine had long been dissatisfied with Master Xin.

Jixiang had been in private contact with Fei Nan, one of Xinye's men, for a long time.

Shark Nine had no idea what they were talking about, nor did he care.

Jixiang is a key figure under her command, but she is too cunning. Such a person is a ticking time bomb at crucial moments.

……

'How can Jixiang endure this? Is he born in the Year of the Tortoise?'

'If he dares to lay a hand on me, I'll have a reason to kill him, and no one else can say anything... That way, everyone's better off.'

Chen Wujun walked along, hands in his pockets, pondering as he went.

He still had to consider Shark Nine's feelings.

If you kill Jixiang without any reason, what will others think?
Therefore, Chen Wujun held back from making a move.

If Jixiang were to actively seek death, that would be for the best.

'When will that guy ever grow up and give me an excuse to kill him?'

He was thinking about dealing with Jixiang, and at the same time, some people were thinking about dealing with him.

When Jixiang returned home, he kicked over the stool next to him, his eyes filled with rage.

Don't be fooled by his composure today; gangsters are never known for their good temper.
Those with good tempers have all gone to work.

"Chen Wujun..."

“Shark Nine has always protected him… If it weren’t for Shark Nine backing him up, I would have slapped him to death long ago! How could that kid be so arrogant in front of me now?”

"Let's just get rid of this kid... He has so many enemies anyway, let's pin it on Wenlong!"

Jixiang picked up her phone, dialed a number, but didn't press the button for a long time.

The fact that Chen Wujun was able to kill Wei shows that he was not easy to kill, and the person I contacted might not be able to take him down.

If the news leaks out, I'll be in trouble.

If it gets out that he hired someone to kill his own people, even Lord Xin wouldn't tolerate it.

"Those Luo Yue people have fought several battles with Gao Lao now... and it's difficult to contact them..."

Jixiang hesitated for a long time but still didn't dial the number.

After thinking for a moment, he dialed Fei Nan's number again, and a moment later he got up and went out.

Half an hour later, Jixiang arrived at a bar in Xiangbutou with two trusted confidants. After entering, he glanced around and saw a burly, somewhat obese man dancing around a woman on the dance floor.

After waiting for a moment, seeing that the woman was about to return to her card holder while Fei Nan was still pestering her, he walked over and said, "Brother Nan!"

"Jixiang, you're here." Seeing Jixiang arrive, Fei Nan adjusted his suit jacket and sat down with Jixiang at the cardholder.

Why are you looking so gloomy?

"Nothing much, just wanted to have a drink with you." Jixiang directly ordered the waiter to bring over a bottle of whiskey.

"What's wrong, got upset?" Fei Nan said with a smile.

"Don't even mention it!" Jixiang said, half-jokingly while drinking, "That Ajun is so arrogant now, she slapped me in the face in front of everyone."

"As you know, he and Sister Shark Nine are from the same sect. Sister Shark Nine is protecting him, what can I do?"

“You’re not just being bullied, you’re completely desperate. Shark Nine is clearly trying to promote a newcomer. How long can you hold out?” Fat Nan’s eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully.

"It would be better to have Master Xin put in a good word; I happen to need someone to manage the money."

Although he wasn't one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he helped Master Xin manage his business, so even the Four Heavenly Kings had to give him some face.

Ji Xiang is a skilled loan shark, quite powerful, and has a group of henchmen under his command...

He has a large number of clients; if we poach him, we'll be poaching all those clients too.

Jixiang hesitated for a moment: "Never mind, it was Sister Shark Nine who gave me the opportunity back then... I'm just a little resentful."

"A tree dies when transplanted, but a person thrives. We're all from the same sect, here to help Master Xin, not outsiders... Shark Nine can't really say anything." Fei Nan said with a smile, of course he knew that Ji Xiang was looking for a way out.

If he really had no other intentions, he wouldn't have come looking for me.

He was waiting for me to come up with a price, at least to get Master Xin's consent.

You have to understand that it's not a good thing for Master Xin to poach Shark Nine's men. If it were any other hall master's subordinate, Master Xin might not have agreed.

But Shark 9 is different.

Shark Nine is becoming increasingly disobedient. Although he appears respectful on the surface, he has many thoughts running through his mind.

Not only did he know, but Master Xin knew even more clearly.

Jixiang is a key figure under Sha Jiu. The fact that such a person is leaving shows that Sha Jiu cannot control or protect his subordinates, and even his key figures are leaving.

Not only did they suppress Shark Nine, but Ji Xiang might also have some dirt on Shark Nine.

This kills two birds with one stone.

After returning home, Chen Wujun temporarily put the matter aside.

In the days that followed, I continued to go to the warehouse every day to walk the piles.

After half a month, Chen Wujun could walk on the wooden stakes covered with grease and hit the sandbags without falling off.

It looks the same as before, except that it shakes a little occasionally.

At the same time, his Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover technique is also progressing steadily.

In the evenings, he would go to Aqi's place for tutoring. When he was in school, he never thought that he would have to go back and learn these things after entering society.

If only he had put in more effort back then.

"Brother Jun, the server room opens tomorrow at 9:30 in the morning. Don't forget to come over," Afei said on the phone.

"Understood." Chen Wujun was in a good mood upon hearing the news.

After all, this was his first real business, his own, not a branch of a gang.

When I make money later, I'll just give Shark Nine a red envelope (cash gift).

After thinking about it, the two server rooms only cost a little over 50 yuan in total investment, so there was no need to specifically tell Shark Nine.

The next morning, Chen Wujun said to A Yue, "My server room is opening today. You'll come with me in a bit."

"Great!" A-Yue immediately beamed with joy, then suddenly realized, "Then I can't cook."

“Your dad just lost a hand, he’s not completely immobile. He’s not going to starve to death, is he? If necessary, buy some food and have the henchmen deliver it to him.” Chen Wujun stood in front of the mirror combing his short hair.

Then he took out the shirt and suit he had bought a few days ago from the closet and put them on.

He wore a black shirt underneath a red suit jacket, and black trousers.

"How does it look?" Chen Wujun turned around after putting on the clothes and felt good about it.

"Handsome guy!" Ah Yue's eyes crinkled with laughter.

After A-Yue changed into a light-colored dress, the two went downstairs to the computer room.

"My new shoes... are very expensive!" Chen Wujun frowned as he walked carefully through the alley, stepping on something or getting a stain on his pants.

The walled city was always filthy, with sewage flowing everywhere, and the ground was always covered with a layer of black stuff of unknown origin.

"Be careful not to step in dog poop!" Chen Wujun pulled A Yue back.

"That's incredibly lucky! Your server room business is sure to be booming," A-Yue said with a smile.

A little after nine o'clock, the two arrived at the server room on Longjin Street, where Afei and Curry were already waiting with their men.

"Brother Jun, Sister Yue!"

"You're all dressed up so nicely today, anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to get your marriage certificate!"

"It's a happy occasion, so I should dress smartly. How about I wear red?" Chen Wujun showed off his red suit.

"Of course it looks great! This outfit looks best on Brother Jun," Afei and his henchman said with grins.

"You guys have good taste," Chen Wujun said with a smile.

At 9:38, surrounded by onlookers, Chen Wujun took scissors and cut the red cloth at the door, then set off a string of firecrackers, and the machine room door opened.

At noon, I invited some people to have lunch together, and I even had my henchman take a group photo.

In the evening, Chen Wujun changed his clothes and went home for dinner.

"I saw someone from behind today who looked a lot like you, wearing a red suit... and there was a woman with him, dressed very nicely. When are you going to find a girlfriend?" Huang Meizhen suddenly remembered something at the dinner table.

"There's a chance. I'm at the martial arts gym every day now, where am I supposed to find a girlfriend?" Chen Wujun said naturally, without a hint of guilt.

"Practicing martial arts is just a hobby, but you still need to work and make a living, and having a girlfriend is also an important thing," Huang Meizhen kept repeating.

At that moment, the news on television read: "The Governor General's government has issued an executive order to lower the poverty line."

"The spokesperson said that, according to expert assessments, a daily food expenditure of 10 federal dollars is now sufficient to meet a person's normal living needs, thus lowering the poverty line to below 300 federal dollars per person per month."

"According to the new poverty line standard, the poverty rate in the Eastern Nine Districts will decrease by 46%, and the number of people living in poverty will decrease to 2600 million..."

Chen Hanliang, watching the news, pointed angrily at the TV with his chopsticks and said, "Everything is going up in price except income. If you can't raise income, then lower the poverty line! Even gangsters have more conscience than them!"

"Dad, you're absolutely right." Chen Wujun gave a thumbs up, deeply agreeing with this statement.

Looking at it this way, I still believe I am doing a righteous cause.

After finishing his meal, Chen Wujun ate some melon seeds at home for a while before getting up to go back to A Yue's place for another meal before going to study.

"342 years ago, a nuclear war broke out between nations... What followed were fifty chaotic years, known as the Period of Chaos..."

"291 years ago, the Federation was established, and the world began to develop again. When the Federation was established, the population was less than 2% of the pre-war population, and technology and culture were completely disrupted..." Aqi said, sitting on a stool with a history textbook in hand.

Chen Wujun lay sprawled on the sofa listening, his mind racing with all sorts of thoughts.

I didn't think much of it when I was reading it before, but now I feel that this history is full of strangeness.

Especially from the outbreak of nuclear war until the establishment of the Federation, a full 51 years... After the great power was destroyed, the survivors formed small countries that fought each other for resources, and the war almost never stopped... Were they not afraid of death?
The process of establishing the federation... is said to have involved a consensus reached among the high-level officials of various countries...

He didn't believe a single word of it.
