226: The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Regardless, Mia was still his boss.

Even if Han Lei was in a bad mood, he had to go with Mia.

But as soon as he thought of Chen Tianming's smug look just now, Han Lei felt a surge of displeasure.

It seemed that every time he met that guy, he would be completely defeated by him, which had practically become his nightmare.

“No, I can't let that guy control the situation forever; I need to find an opportunity to fight back.”

Han Lei had secretly made up his mind.

But at this moment, he couldn't say too much to Mia on the surface.

If Mia knew he was still thinking of opposing Chen Tianming, she would stop him immediately.

However, little did he know that Chen Tianming didn't even put him in his heart.

He had already driven Wan Yue to another place.

“To successfully forge artifacts, we still need quite a few materials,” Wan Yue said, holding the blueprint she had received from Chen Tianming earlier.

If they wanted to forge artifacts according to this blueprint, they were still missing quite a few materials.

“It seems that the material cost alone will be a large sum of money.”

Listening to Wan Yue, Chen Tianming suddenly laughed.

“For others, funds might be an issue, but for me, money is the easiest thing to get.”

Indeed, with Chen Tianming's strength, he had that capital.

For him, it truly wasn't bragging.

Wan Yue smiled.

“Even in cultivation, the rich have it easier than ordinary people. It seems I don't have to worry about materials.”

The two exchanged smiles, each with their own judgment in their hearts.

Chen Tianming was right about one thing: being rich was indeed amazing.

Relying on Chen Tianming's money power, in just one afternoon, the two collected four or five materials.

The speed was already very fast.

However, the two also drove straight to the suburbs as a result.

Gradually, the sky darkened, and a hint of fatigue finally appeared on Wan Yue's face.

“We've both been out and about all day; shouldn't we go back now?”

“Don't rush, there's one last place we haven't been to yet.”

Chen Tianming's expression was serious.

Wan Yue was a little surprised, and at the same time, she looked out the window, only to realize that the surrounding scenery seemed somewhat familiar.

“Are you planning to take me to Guwan Street?”

Chen Tianming didn't even think, “We've already collected a lot of good things there before, and I have a premonition that Guwan Street can still bring us quite a few surprises. Just consider it accompanying me for a stroll in this vicinity.”

Hearing Chen Tianming say this, Wan Yue didn't refuse.

After all, she also wanted to see what the item forged according to this blueprint would look like.

Guwan Street was always relatively lively.

At this time, the street was still bustling with people.

There were also many things being sold.

Even more people had gathered than in the morning.

Chen Tianming and Wan Yue got out of the car.

“Based on the materials we've collected so far, it's enough to make some basic protective gear, but none of it can be considered top-grade. If this Guwan Street can really discover some useful magical artifacts, then we'll have truly profited.”

Listening to Wan Yue's analysis, Chen Tianming smiled and nodded.

“I have a premonition that we will definitely not return empty-handed this time.”

After speaking, he casually pointed in a direction, and the two walked towards it.

On a side street of Guwan Street, in a somewhat dilapidated shop.

Han Lei's face was beyond ugly.

Looking at Du Shaokang, his face wasn't looking good either; he was pacing back and forth, looking clouded with gloom.

“Let's stick to the facts. Just tell me if my prediction for you was accurate or not.”

Soon, Du Shaokang spoke first, and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes as he looked at Han Lei.

“It was quite accurate, but you didn't predict that my enemy would also arrive there today. Although I've found a more profitable mine for the company, all the limelight was stolen by that kid. I worked hard for half a day, and in the end, he still got there first!”

As soon as he mentioned this, Han Lei felt a pang of discomfort in his heart.

And Du Shaokang next to him was murmuring.

“That shouldn't be; from your fate, this direction is definitely your wealth position. You should be rising steadily and not be affected by others…”

The results Du Shaokang had calculated before were relatively accurate.

Plus, he truly did calculate a more profitable mine for himself.

Han Lei had already developed some trust in him.

Seeing him also in a bit of a dilemma at this moment, Han Lei immediately sat up straight.

“Mr. Du, just tell me how I can deal with that kid. As long as you can say it, I will definitely do as you say!”

At this, Han Lei became excited, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists and slamming heavily on the table.

“Damn it, I really didn't expect that Chen Tianming to be so ruthless!”

Han Lei frowned slightly, then looked up, “What did you say your enemy's name was just now?”

“Chen Tianming.”

Han Lei was a little curious, “Is there a problem?”

But he didn't expect Du Shaokang in front of him to be even more agitated than him.

“Damn it, I missed a step before; I didn't expect your enemy to be him!”

This Chen Tianming indeed had some skill, and he also had considerable research in feng shui, and the most crucial thing was his overall ability.

He had even wanted to move to the He family's manor as a cultivation ground before.

But at that time, he wasn't prepared and fell into Chen Tianming's hands.

Thinking about it now, Du Shaokang still felt a surge of displeasure in his heart.

“It seems our enemies are the same person.”

“What, you too?”

Han Lei was full of surprise.

But he quickly reacted.

“So, our enemies are the same person. This is good; by helping me, you're also helping yourself.”

With Du Shaokang's help, Han Lei felt much more relaxed.

No matter what, he had a helper now.

Du Shaokang would definitely come up with a foolproof plan, even if it was just to vent his own anger.

“Chen Tianming is a very insidious person, and most importantly, he has some strength. The entire Chen family can be mobilized by him. When contending with such a person, you can't be headstrong and charge in, or there will definitely be problems.”

“I understand the principle, but how exactly should I do it?”

“That's simple: fight fire with fire. How he treated you before, you retaliate the same way.”

Han Lei's eyes lit up, “You mean…”

“That's right.”

The two exchanged smiles, clearly having their own answers in their hearts.

“Alright, I know what to do. If there's any news, I'll report it to you immediately.”

Han Lei quickly left.

And Du Shaokang continued to return to his live stream.

With Han Lei resisting Chen Tianming with him, Du Shaokang felt relieved.
