Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 200:The Strange Uncle at the Amusement Park



Tan Ailing sighed softly. "Eric, I'm not concerned about the three million in profits from the Anshi Group, but rather about the relationship between us and them."

In Eric's gaze, Tan Ailing explained, "The Anshi Group has been developing in Shanghai for thirty years, with total assets exceeding tens of billions. Their influence is deeply rooted, not inferior to Ye Zhenglin's Ye Group. Although our Ling Yan Group has 'strong dragons' like Skidmore backing us, we should still be cautious of the local 'tycoons'!"

"No need to worry!" Eric waved dismissively. "The Anshi Group cannot exert any pressure on us. Even though my 'Living Buddha' identity is currently secret, the higher-ups in Shanghai are definitely aware. They wouldn't dare to hinder me with the charge of 'undermining national unity'..."

"Eric, a large corporation that has been in the business world for thirty years is not that easy to deal with," Tan Ailing still hoped to draw Eric's attention to the matter. "Even if they can't use official connections to suppress us, they can resort to underworld methods to threaten and intimidate the Ling Yan Group..."

Before Tan Ailing could finish, Eric burst into laughter. "Ailing, you don't think Wang Shengqiao's Axe Gang is soft, do you? Although their current strength has greatly diminished, as one of the four major gangs in Shanghai, holding the title of 'most violent society,' they should still be able to intimidate those smaller gangs with their remaining influence, right?"

"Eric, you're wrong!" Tan Ailing said solemnly. "Although the Shanghai underworld is most famous for the 'four major gangs,' they only represent fame and numbers. In reality, there are at least three other gangs that keep a low profile but are just as powerful!"

"Is that so?" Eric was somewhat surprised.

"These three gangs are actually the representatives of the Ye, An, and Zhou families in the underworld!" Tan Ailing said with a hint of worry. "Although the total number of members in these three gangs does not exceed a thousand, they are of high quality. They are mostly graduates from various martial arts schools, and any one of them can easily defeat ten ordinary thugs! Moreover, under the financial temptation of the Ye, An, and Zhou families, each of them has at least ten top experts. If they really go all out, the Axe Gang may not fare well..."

"That was before!" Eric smiled, smoothing out Tan Ailing's furrowed brow. "With the current Axe Gang, relying solely on Wang Shengqiao, a pre-heaven expert, can wipe out all the top experts of the Anshi Group..."

"But..."

"There's no 'but'!" Eric waved decisively, then said with a hint of doubt, "Ailing, why are you being so timid? This isn't like you..."

Tan Ailing rolled her eyes at him and said impatiently, "I'm doing this for you! You have to understand that to thrive in the world, you can't just rely on force..."

"Alright, I understand..." Although Eric knew Tan Ailing had a point, he didn't want to hear such lectures, because he had his own belief—having absolute power meant having absolute freedom! He could do whatever he wanted, ignoring all rules and laws—a kind of 'freedom'!

Looking at Eric's expression, Tan Ailing knew he had not taken her words to heart, and couldn't help but heave a soft sigh.

Eric looked at her with a slightly apologetic expression and changed the subject, "Okay, Ailing, let's talk about something else. How are we going to spend the afternoon?"

"After lunch, let's go to the amusement park!" Tan Ailing glanced at little Feng Qian and added, "Little Feng Qian has been wanting to go for a long time!"

"Okay!" Seeing the excited and expectant look on little Feng Qian's face, Eric couldn't help but smile slightly.

In order to help little Feng Qian recover to normal as soon as possible, not only did Eric and the others instill her with common sense every day, but they also took her to crowded places from time to time for a walk and a look around. This was to help the reclusive and shy little Feng Qian adapt to the crowd more quickly.

This method was thought of by Tang Feiyan, who said it was based on a book called "Student Psychology", which apparently was originally a method to deal with autistic students!

Regardless of whether this method was Tang Feiyan's original creation or not, the fact is that it has proven to be effective. Little Feng Qian is no longer as resistant to interacting with people as she used to be, and can even exchange a few words with strangers. Of course, if a stranger tried to pinch her cheeks or pat her head, that would be absolutely impossible!

They randomly found a fast food restaurant, ignoring the envious looks of others, and after finishing their lunch, they drove straight to the amusement park.

Bumper cars, floating balls, space rockets, carousel...

After a round, not only did little Feng Qian have a great time, but Eric and Tan Ailing were also very happy. The bystanders were also extremely envious of this "family of three" and their happy and harmonious state, staring at them constantly.

After playing for nearly two hours and having their fill, the three of them sat down on a long bench to rest.

Seeing little Feng Qian's puckered expression, Eric knew she was a bit thirsty, so he took out fifty yuan and handed it to her, saying, "Feng Qian, go to the food stall over there and buy three bottles of juice!"

Tan Ailing looked at little Feng Qian and said with a slightly worried tone, "Eric, maybe I should go instead..."

"No need." Eric waved his hand and said, "It's not far away, let Feng Qian also exercise a bit, we'll watch her..."He then turned to little Feng Qian and said, "Feng Qian can definitely bring the juice back, right?"

"Yes!" Little Feng Qian nodded vigorously, taking the money.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, Tan Ailing held her back and reminded her, "Little Feng Qian, just go buy the juice and come back right away, don't linger, be careful of the strange uncle who eats people..."

"Mm..." Little Feng Qian responded, then hopped and skipped towards the target 80 meters away.

"The 'strange uncle' you mentioned is a character from a fairy tale, right?" Eric was a bit puzzled.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Of course not!" Tan Ailing leaned on Eric's shoulder and gently asked, "Haven't you been keeping up with the social news lately?"

"I can barely keep up with the financial news, how would I have time to watch social news?" Eric sighed heavily.

Tan Ailing reached out and gently caressed Eric's cheek, speaking softly, "There's been a man in Shanghai recently who has been specifically molesting underage girls, and everyone has been calling him the 'strange uncle'..."

Although Eric responded with an "oh" without changing his expression, his heart was raging, and if this strange uncle dared to lay a hand on little Feng Qian, he would definitely make him regret it for eight lifetimes...

Suddenly, Eric saw that little Feng Qian, who had just finished buying the juice, was being stopped by a man in his twenties or thirties, and he couldn't help but say, "No way, a real strange uncle has appeared?"

Tan Ailing couldn't help but giggle and said, "How is that possible? Which strange uncle would dare to molest a child in front of so many people? At most, he's just trying to lure little Feng Qian away..."

But both their eyes were fixed on little Feng Qian and the suspected "strange uncle", ready to give Eric a powerful blow should the man make any move.

Finally, the opportunity had arrived!

Watching the target person who had finally "distanced" himself from the adults, Shi Wuqi was very excited.

He walked over with what he thought was a very "friendly" smile and said kindly, "Hello, little sister."

"Hello." Feng Qian responded politely, tilting her head and asking, "Uncle, do you need something?"

"Uncle?" Shi Wuqi, who always thought he was in the prime of his youth, smiled somewhat helplessly, adopting a friendly posture with his clothes. "Little sister, Uncle has many fun things and delicious treats. Come with Uncle..."

As he spoke, he tried to reach out and hug Feng Qian.

Feng Qian stepped back, looking wary, and said to Shi Wuqi, "So you're the 'strange uncle' who eats people!"

"Uncle doesn't eat people!" Shi Wuqi's smile stiffened. "Uncle only gives you delicious things..."

The "strange uncle" still wanted to hug her. Feng Qian's eyes narrowed, thinking about teaching this man a lesson for trying to lure her away. However, she remembered her "brother's" admonition to "try not to use abilities in public places," so she took two steps back. Then, she cleared her throat and shouted in her sharp childish voice, "Help, someone's trying to assault me!"

Shi Wuqi's smile completely stiffened. He mechanically smiled at the many eyes focused on him and said, "My sister is joking with me..."

However, Feng Qian's next words shattered his lie. "He's lying, I'm not his sister! He just wanted me to go with him, saying there are many delicious and fun things..."

This enraged the crowd.

The adorable Feng Qian had become a bright spot in the amusement park, and countless people loved her innocent smile. Now, hearing that someone wanted to "abduct" this little girl, everyone was indignant. Coupled with recent sensational news, the crowd couldn't bear it and began to swing their fists in anger.

With Shi Wuqi's skill, even though he couldn't beat so many people present, he could definitely escape. However, for some reason, he found himself bound and unable to move, just watching as fists of all sizes rained down on him...

Seeing that the "strange uncle" who had frightened Feng Qian was now powerless, Eric secretly released the "Wind Bind" spell on him.

Tan Ailing, a former police officer, did not stop the crowd from physically attacking the "suspect." Instead, she squatted down, pulled Feng Qian aside, and asked with a smile, "Feng Qian, where did you learn that 'assault' from?"

"Sister Feiyan!" Feng Qian waved her little fist and said, "Sister Feiyan said if a man tries to assault me, shouting 'assault' is the easiest way..."

What kind of teachings were these from Tang Feiyan...

Eric and Tan Ailing exchanged helpless glances and shook their heads.

At this moment, Tan Ailing's phone rang. After answering it, she smiled at Eric and said, "It's from Wu Mei, she's inviting us to the Magnolia Club tonight..."

Since the leader of the Northern Mafia Alliance, Prince Wang, left Shanghai, Wu Mei, who had no one else to harass, began to pester Eric.

Eric didn't dislike Wu Mei, and since Tan Ailing didn't object, they had gone on a few dates. However, they hadn't yet defined their relationship. Of course, Tan Ailing always joined them on their dates. Although Wu Mei complained about it, under Eric's disregard, she could only accept the reality.

Because the "strange uncle" had not harmed Feng Qian, Eric did not take action against him. He just glanced at the still-being beaten "strange uncle" and then took Feng Qian and Tan Ailing's hands and left.

At this moment, Shi Wuqi, who was gradually losing consciousness, had a strong realization: Shanghai was definitely incompatible with him, naturally antagonistic...
