Jiang Feng returned to the mansion and saw that Nangong Qingcheng, Chu Feifei, and Liu Shiyuan were all still awake.
They had long developed the habit that if Jiang Feng didn't come back, no one could sleep.
"Brother Jiang, you're finally back. What did Feng Yueji want with you?" Chu Feifei jumped off the sofa barefoot and ran over to Jiang Feng to ask.
"To apologize and also to talk about some martial arts matters." Jiang Feng explained briefly.
After Liu Shiyuan returned, she couldn't resist the questioning from Nangong Qingcheng and Chu Feifei, so she told them everything that happened back in her hometown today. The two women also felt that Jiang Feng handled it well, not only severely teaching that Huang He a lesson but also making him bleed money, feeling very satisfied!
But as for Feng Yueji taking the initiative to apologize to Jiang Feng, they did not expect it. It could only be said that Jiang Feng now had a lot of influence!
"So it was about martial arts, no wonder!" Chu Feifei nodded thoughtfully.
When her father was alive, she had heard that West City Feng Yueji indeed knew martial arts and was even considered a master. It was quite normal for her to seek Jiang Feng for advice on martial arts matters.
Even so, Feng Yueji's peerlessly beautiful figure was quite threatening, especially since Chu Feifei was well aware of Jiang Feng's charm. If not careful, Feng Yueji might fall for him too.
"Uncle, you're really famous now, even the Wu Zetian of West City treats you as an honored guest. Will we be able to invite her to our card games together in the future?" Chu Feifei said with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Jiang Feng pretended not to hear it and deliberately changed the topic, "How's the situation with the group today?"
Chu Feifei knew that Jiang Feng was asking about the plan to enter North City, and she immediately became serious, "Everything is going smoothly. I just made an appearance, and Uncle Zhu Ge credited all the success to me. Then, he directed some of the company's elite personnel and key members directly to North City. They used some methods to bring down Shi Guanlin's group, and now we are in the process of taking over. In a few days, the Shi Family's assets will completely belong to our Chu Family."
Jiang Feng nodded; this was something he had expected. With Zhu Ge Yuheng's skills, toppling a leaderless Shi Family was a piece of cake.
"Is there any news from East City?" Jiang Feng asked again.
"East City? Are you referring to the Yan Family? It seems not, at least I haven't heard anything." Chu Feifei shook her head. She was now part of the circle, striving to grow with the help of Jiang Feng and Zhu Ge Yuheng, so she understood the situation in Binhai more deeply than before.
"If anything happens, you or Zhu Ge Yuheng, give me a call immediately." Jiang Feng instructed.
Jiang Feng knew that it was only a matter of time before the Yan Family made a move. They wouldn't just watch as the Chu Family smoothly absorbed the Shi Family's assets; they were bound to intervene. But Jiang Feng wasn't worried at all; he was actually waiting for the Yan Family to act. Hopefully, their two major foundations would also show up, so that he could more easily remove the Yan Family's name from Binhai!
"Alright, it's late, go to bed. You don't have to wait for me in situations like this. I promise I won't let anything happen to myself, rest assured." Jiang Feng comforted the three women softly, smiling.
Nangong Qingcheng and the others were already exhausted. Hearing Jiang Feng's words put their minds at ease. Nangong Qingcheng initially had a few things to say, but it was inconvenient in front of Chu Feifei and Liu Shiyuan. So, after giving Jiang Feng one last glance, she went upstairs with Chu Feifei and Liu Shiyuan.
...
At the same time, in East City, at the Prince Mansion.
Shi Lang knelt in the brightly lit living room, tearfully begging Yan Chen, who was sitting on the sofa, "Young Master Yan, please, you have to help our Shi family. The Chu Group is really too much. In less than a day, they are devouring the businesses my dad left behind. Now the whole group is in turmoil. Many people have defected to the Chu Group. If you and the Yan Family don't step in, half of Binhai will belong to the Chu Group!"
Ever since his father was beaten to death by Jiang Feng last night and Elder Qiu was also brutally killed by Jiang Feng, Shi Lang was on the verge of collapsing!
To him, it was like two towering mountains standing behind him suddenly crumbled, making it impossible for him to accept this reality, leaving him in a daze the whole day.
Then, he also learned that under Zhu Ge Yuheng's leadership, the Chu Family swiftly entered North City with a thunderous force, crazily plundering and occupying his family's assets, driving him to utter madness and despair!
If it were possible, he would never provoke Jiang Feng again, nor would he lustfully pursue Nangong Qingcheng!
But now, the mistakes had already been made, and he not only dragged his own father down but also an aged Elder Qiu. It's too late for regrets!
In his desperation, a deep hatred for Jiang Feng blossomed in his heart. Jiang Feng was not only his father's killer but also the one seizing his family's assets and attempting to knock him off his high-society playboy position; he would never let Jiang Feng go!
And he knew, the only one in all of Binhai who could help him avenge was the Yan Family!
The only person he could seek help from was Yan Chen!
"Young Master Yan, I beg you, as long as you help me get revenge and stabilize my father's businesses, I will do whatever you ask, even serve as your servant for a lifetime…" Shi Lang pleaded tearfully.
"You Shi Family brought this upon yourselves!" Yan Chen scoffed, "Wasn't your father quite arrogant? Didn't your Shi Family consider yourselves wealthy and powerful? Relying on Qiu Qianguo to back you up, you dared to disregard our Yan Family, right? You ignored us several times, and now what? Both are killed by Jiang Feng, a mere nobody, deserved it! Pathetic waste!"
"Young Master Yan, you're absolutely right, our Shi Family was wrong. We shouldn't have ignored the Yan Family's orders, but those were mistakes my father made while he was alive, they have nothing to do with me! I assure you, once I take over as the head of the Shi Family, I will comply with the Yan Family's wishes, bow down and serve you loyally…" Shi Lang hurriedly said. To preserve his family's business, he was desperate to win Yan Chen over.
"Don't give me empty words, do you have anything substantial? If you want the Yan Family to help you get revenge, show some real stuff, mere words of allegiance aren't appetizing." Yan Chen sneered.
Shi Lang felt his heart sink; he knew Yan Chen was not satisfied with his promises. Thinking deeply, he ruthlessly said, "Young Master Yan, I swear, as long as you help our Shi Family get revenge, I'll give half of Shi Family's property to the Yan Family as the new head, and let Shi Family become an affiliated family of Yan Family in the future, sharing the same interests and enmities…"
Hearing this, Yan Chen finally showed a satisfied expression. He stood up, smiling, "Now that's more like it. Shi Lang, stand up, it's admirable that you beg me for the Shi Family's sake. From now on, we are sworn brothers, and you are now part of Yan Chen's people!"
Yan Chen pretended to help Shi Lang up, feeling immensely proud inside.
In fact, he had already contacted people to deal with Jiang Feng, and the Yan Family had long planned to make a move. Now this fool Shi Lang came to him, allowing him to take advantage of the situation.
But this favor was immensely valuable, it was half of the Shi Family's properties after all!
If he reported this to the family's elders, it would be a significant achievement. It could also make up for the previous failure to pursue Murong Qian, keeping him as the most likely successor of the Yan Family, with no one to rival him!
"Broken by Jiang Feng, made by Jiang Feng! Jiang, I really have to thank you, you've truly given me quite a few great gifts…" Yan Chen laughed coldly, his eyes narrowed into slits.
