Chapter 53: Let's Cooperate

“Chu Changfeng…”
Tang Jun looked at Chu Changfeng's gentle smile and spoke in a serious tone, “This matter has nothing to do with City Lord Lei!”
“Heh…don’t make me laugh.”
Chu Changfeng chuckled, “You say it has nothing to do with City Lord Lei? But these people you brought are now under City Lord Lei’s jurisdiction, aren’t they? Regardless of whether they were in the same unit as you before, they are now City Lord Lei’s men.”
“You brought them here, yet you say it has nothing to do with City Lord Lei.”
“Then I’d like to ask you, do you have an arrest warrant? Moreover, this matter falls under the jurisdiction of the Enforcement Bureau. You don’t have an arrest warrant, and you’re representing City Lord Lei, so what right do you have to take Fang Chang away?”
“If you really intend to do this, Tang Jun, even your Tang family in Kyoto can’t protect you.”
“Don’t mention the Tang family!”
Mentioning the Tang family's son, Tang Jun's face flashed with anger: "I have nothing to do with the Tang family. They are them, and I am me!"
"Fine, fine..."
Chu Changfeng's expression was full of helplessness: "Let's not talk about the Tang family. You are you, and the Tang family is the Tang family. Now, can we leave? I don't want to see you drag Lord Lei into this mess."
"..."
Tang Jun stared intently at Chu Changfeng.
He knew the Fang family hadn't arrived yet, which was why he wanted to take Fang Chang away, but Chu Changfeng's actions clearly indicated he intended to protect Fang Chang.
If this continued, the Fang family would definitely arrive, and then Lord Lei would truly be implicated.
Thinking this, Tang Jun suppressed his anger and ordered the people behind him: "Everyone, follow me!"
"..."
After giving the order to retreat, Tang Jun didn't linger and turned to leave. He worried that if he stayed any longer, he might not be able to resist attacking Fang Chang!
That would be truly troublesome.
Given Chu Changfeng's attitude, he would definitely not stand idly by.
After Tang Jun left, Chu Changfeng approached Fang Chang and said softly, "Young Master Fang, let's find a place to talk alone? Perfect, I also wanted to apologize to you."
Looking at this seemingly destined villain, Fang Chang pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Okay."
Tan Yulu wanted to say something, but her female colleague immediately pulled her back, telling her not to say anything more.
The director was clearly angry right now; to cause trouble at this time would be tantamount to picking a fight.
Fang Chang and Chu Changfeng walked out of the law enforcement bureau and arrived at a secluded corner.
“Fang Chang, the second young master of the Fang family…”
Chu Changfeng turned his head, a smile on his face, and said, “I really apologize for last time. I thought you were just a spoiled brat, but I didn’t expect you to be able to break the deadlock and even get Prime Minister Ye to help you willingly. It seems you’re not as simple as you appear.”
Hearing this, Fang Chang’s tone was somewhat mocking: “Could you stop with that smile? It’s a bit disgusting. Just say what you want to say.”
“Fine.”
Faced with Fang Chang’s attitude, Chu Changfeng remained completely unperturbed, his face still beaming with a gentle smile: “Then I’ll get straight to the point. How about we cooperate?”
“Cooperate?”
Fang Chang looked at Chu Changfeng, unable to discern any other emotion in Chu Changfeng’s eyes.
"What's there to cooperate on between us? Am I to be schemed against by you?"
"No."
Chu Changfeng shook his head. "I used to think I was the only special one, but I realized that was just my arrogance. Take you, for example. Although you seem like a spoiled brat, you actually possess the ability to transcend that."
"I want to cooperate with someone like you."
"You should be able to sense that, right? Your brother, Ye Xiang, and even Tang Jun who just appeared—they're all the same kind of people, born to be protagonists."
"In the script of life, someone suddenly tells you they're the protagonist, and no matter how hard you try, you can't surpass them."
"What's the point of such a script?"
At this point, Chu Changfeng's expression became serious and earnest. "That's why I want to cooperate with you. You have your special abilities, and so do I."
"Even if we cooperate, we don't need to trust each other; we just need to have the same goal."
"My goal is simple: I want fewer and fewer people like Tang Jun."
"You should be about the same, right?"
Hearing this, Fang Chang frowned. "Then I'm sorry, we can't cooperate. I have no intention of killing them, especially Fang Fan and Ye Xiang."
"As for Tang Jun… it doesn't matter what happens to him."
"Heh…"
Chu Changfeng chuckled. "So, those who are beneficial to you live, and those who are harmful to you die. We're the same kind of people, so we can naturally cooperate."
"How about this, to show sincerity, I'll handle Tang Jun's situation?"
Hmm?
Fang Chang kept his eyes fixed on Chu Changfeng; he hadn't shut down his special ability.
Upon closer inspection, a problem was discovered.
Name: Fang Chang
Destiny: Adopted son of a scheming woman, minor villain, easily humiliated, a victim of feigned weakness, attracts hatred, difficult to kill…
Progress in absorbing Heavenly Favor: Fang Fan (340 points), Ye Xiang (320 points), Fang Yajun (999 points), Liu Ruyan (80), Chu Changfeng (100)
Current: 1839 points
Progress in absorbing Heavenly Dislike: Tang Jun (540), Tan Yulu (240)
Current: 780 points
Overlaying a Golden Destiny requires a certain amount of favor (dislike). Stackable: 2000 points
…
Upon seeing this special ability, Fang Chang's eyes widened.
So, he can now directly overlay a Golden Destiny?
Favor can be increased, and so can dislike.
Then next time he encounters a person destined for greatness, if he slaps them, will he accumulate points?
"Fang Chang?"
Seeing Fang Chang's hesitation, Chu Changfeng asked, puzzled, "What are you thinking about?"
Hearing Chu Changfeng's voice, Fang Chang snapped out of his thoughts and slowly said, "Alright, we can cooperate. Perfect timing, I also dislike that Tang Jun. But when you deal with Tang Jun, tell me; I want to see it with my own eyes."
"No problem."
Chu Changfeng wasn't stupid. After seeing Fang Chang's reaction just now, he knew he had a secret.
But everyone has secrets, so for the sake of cooperation, Chu Changfeng wouldn't pry into Fang Chang's secrets.
He needed a partner like this. The situation in Kyoto was far too complicated. Fang Chang's own unique circumstances, the Fang family, and even Fang Fan and Ye Xiang—all were sources of assistance Chu Changfeng needed.
And at the heart of all this assistance was Fang Chang.
"Regarding City Lord Lei, I'll have my elders put pressure on him to prevent him from getting involved. Then, we can easily handle Tang Jun."
"However, dealing with these people requires thorough preparation; otherwise, they might escape if we're not careful."
