Tap, tap, tap…
A burst of footsteps echoed. Just as Li Feng and the others were about to leave, a group of security guards surrounded them.
Li Feng’s expression darkened. He stared coldly at the guards encircling him.
“Li Feng?” The crowd parted, and an elder emerged from behind the guards. His gaze fixed on Li Feng as he asked in a deep voice, “You are Li Feng?”
“Indeed, I am Li Feng. Who are you?” From this elder, Li Feng sensed vast energy. This man was no ordinary figure.
“I am Liu Zhankuang.” Liu Zhankuang introduced himself. “Third Elder of the Liu family.”
“So it is the Third Elder of the Liu family. What business do you have with me?” Li Feng’s pupils contracted. He felt Liu Zhankuang’s strength was, if not equal to Zhao Xiu’s, not far behind. He wondered what the man wanted.
“My family head wishes to see you.” Liu Zhankuang said in a deep voice.
“The Liu family head wants to see me? Elder Liu, what matter does the family head have with me?” So Liu Dongjian finally wanted to meet him. But this display was rather excessive, was it not?
“You will know once you come with me.” Liu Zhankuang said no more.
“It seems I have no chance to refuse?” Li Feng looked at the surrounding guards and Liu Zhankuang, then said with a wry smile.
“Correct. In this Imperial Hotel, you have no choice.” Liu Zhankuang said in a deep voice.
“The Liu family is truly domineering.” Li Feng’s expression turned cold. First Zhao Xiu, now Liu Dongjian. None of these four great families were decent. With Zhao Xiu as a precedent, Li Feng dared not be careless.
His gaze fell on Liu Zhankuang. Li Feng asked, “Elder Liu, does the family head wish to see only me?”
“No, also the president of Fengyuan Group, Hu Yuanyuan.” Liu Zhankuang shook his head, his eyes shifting to Hu Yuanyuan behind Li Feng.
“I, Li Feng, can decide matters for Fengyuan Group alone. I can meet the family head by myself.” Li Feng said in a deep voice. With Hu Yuanyuan by his side, if fighting broke out, he would be heavily constrained. But if he went alone, it would be different.
“Li Feng, my family head wishes to see you and Hu Yuanyuan. Both of you must come with me to see him.” Liu Zhankuang said coldly.
“Is this the Liu family of Tianhai City’s four great families? Truly domineering, far more so than our Song family.” Song Zhiyuan could not stand Liu Zhankuang’s superior tone and said with some dissatisfaction.
“Young Master Song, this has nothing to do with you. You had best not meddle.” Liu Zhankuang’s gaze fell on Song Zhiyuan as he said coldly.
“I am meddling? You actually say I am meddling?” Song Zhiyuan flew into a rage, stared coldly at Liu Zhankuang, and said, “Even my family’s old man would not speak to me like this. What are you to dare address me so?”
“He is not a thing to begin with. Like his family, arrogant, overbearing, and domineering. I truly do not know how such people and such a family manage to exist in Tianhai City.” Li Feng said with a cold laugh from the side.
The four great families of Tianhai City shared honour and disgrace. This was common knowledge for decades. Li Feng was now in a fight to the death with Zhao Xiu, which meant a fight to the death with all four great families. He would no longer give them any face. Since they had fallen out, he would fall out completely.
Moreover, Li Feng felt that Zhao Xiu had left not long ago, and now Liu Zhankuang arrived. His coming was probably related to Zhao Xiu.
“Indeed, the four great families of Tianhai City should not exist in this world at all.” Song Zhiyuan was someone who feared not chaos in the world. He did not know Li Feng had already fallen out with the four great families. He simply found Li Feng’s words to his taste.
“Li Feng, are you courting death?” Liu Zhankuang stared coldly at Li Feng and said.
“I am courting death? Do your four great families domineer to the point where even speech is forbidden?” Li Feng laughed coldly, his gaze falling on Liu Zhankuang as he said in a deep voice, “Even if the Liu family head wants to see me, Elder Liu, you need not bring so many people, right? Could it be you brought so many to protect me? Haha, when did I, Li Feng, have such face? Young Master Song, in our families, we probably do not have so many protectors, do we? Even our family elders do not bring so many bodyguards.”
“Young Master Feng speaks truly. These four great families of Tianhai City are more arrogant than our eight top families. So many protectors, even the President of the United States probably has no more. Miss Zhu, do you not agree?” Song Zhiyuan turned back to ask Zhu Yuanyang.
“I do not share that view.” Zhu Yuanyang said indifferently.
“Oh? How does Miss Zhu see it?” Song Zhiyuan asked curiously.
“In this young lady’s view, Elder Liu brought so many not to protect Li Feng, but to capture him. I think Li Feng must have done something unspeakable.” Zhu Yuanyang said, giving Li Feng a cold glance.
“Indeed, I think so too.” Ma Xiaoyong naturally would not miss a chance to kick a man when he was down. He looked at Li Feng, laughed coldly, and said, “Otherwise, why would Elder Liu mobilise so many? Moreover, why did Elder Liu seek no one else but you, Li Feng?”
“Ma Xiaoyong, shut your mouth. You have no place to speak here.” Li Feng snorted coldly at Ma Xiaoyong, then turned to Zhu Yuanyang and said, “Zhu Yuanyang, when did this young master do something unspeakable? How would I not know myself?”
“That is because you have done too many unspeakable things and forgotten.” Zhu Yuanyang replied.
“Is that so?” The corners of Li Feng’s mouth curved into a smile. He said, “This young master remembers now. I did do one unspeakable thing. Last time by West Lake, I should not have with you…”
“You…” Zhu Yuanyang glared at Li Feng in fury. She somewhat regretted speaking. She had known Li Feng was one who spoke without restraint.
However…
Zhu Yuanyang saw Liu Zhankuang’s livid face and revealed a cold smile in her eyes.
“Good, good, I will not say more. This is our secret.” Li Feng patted his head and said quickly.
“Li Feng, have you said enough?” Liu Zhankuang said, barely containing his anger.
“Not yet.” A cold glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. He actually hoped Liu Zhankuang would act. With Old Lu by his side, if Liu Zhankuang made a move, Old Lu would surely not stand idly by.
“You…” Liu Zhankuang wished he could slap Li Feng dead, but this was the Imperial Hotel lobby with so many watching. He could not act.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Zhankuang said, “Li Feng, you and Hu Yuanyuan come with me immediately to see the family head, or do not blame me for being rude.”
“Are you threatening me?” Li Feng’s expression turned cold.
“You may think so, but you have no choice.” Liu Zhankuang said coldly.
“Fine, I will go with you. Yuanyuan. Old Lu. Let us make this trip.” Since Hu Yuanyuan had to go, Li Feng could only have Old Lu follow. Only Old Lu’s presence could ensure her safety.
Turning, Li Feng said to Song Zhiyuan, “Young Master Song, are you coming?”
“Of course, why not.” Song Zhiyuan nodded without hesitation.
“Miss Zhu, Young Master Ma, are you coming?” Li Feng’s gaze fell on Zhu Yuanyang and Ma Xiaoyong as he said with a wicked smile, “Of course, if you dare not, you need not.”
“Who says I dare not.” Ma Xiaoyong blurted out, but regretted it immediately. Liu Zhankuang sought Li Feng and Hu Yuanyuan, clearly for no good reason. Why follow?
But the words were out, with so many watching. Regret came too late.
However…
Ma Xiaoyong looked at Li Feng, a cold smile in his eyes.
This might not be bad for him. The enemy of my enemy is a friend. If the four great families wanted to deal with Li Feng, it was an opportunity. After all, this was Tianhai City, where the Ma family’s power was limited. After tonight, mobilising people to teach Li Feng a lesson would be difficult.
But if he could use the four great families to do so, it would be different. Even if they could not kill Li Feng, they could at least probe his strength.
Recalling Li Feng’s performance in the room earlier, Ma Xiaoyong was certain this Li Feng was no simple character. Such a person was not easy to handle. Having the four great families probe for him was a good choice.
Zhu Yuanyang’s eyes flashed. She said in a deep voice, “This young lady wants to see.”
Li Feng gave Zhu Yuanyang a deep look. Her answer was unexpected. Did she have some purpose?
“Li Feng, I only asked you and Hu Yuanyuan to come, not to bring others.” Liu Zhankuang said coldly.
“Liu Zhankuang, this young master brings whoever he wishes. You have no say.” Li Feng snorted coldly and said, “I have long heard that your Liu family, no, that your four great families, like to seize by force. This time you bring so many to find me. Could it be you truly have unspeakable motives?”
Liu Zhankuang’s eyes flashed. He said, “Since you wish to bring so many, bring them. I hope you do not regret it.”
“Hmph, I, Li Feng, have never known regret.” Li Feng snorted coldly.
“Follow me.” Liu Zhankuang laughed coldly, turned, and walked ahead.
“Let us go too.” Li Feng said to Hu Yuanyuan and Song Zhiyuan, then looked at Old Lu. He was unsure if Old Lu was willing to follow. If not, even with Song Zhiyuan and the others, Hu Yuanyuan would not be safe. He would need another plan.
“What are you staring at? In future, just make sure I have food.” Old Lu glared at Li Feng and said.
Hearing this, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Zhiyuan gave Old Lu a curious glance, somewhat puzzled about this scruffy old man by Li Feng’s side.
Following Liu Zhankuang, the group arrived at the thirty-fifth floor of the Imperial Hotel, the top level. Guards stood every three steps, sentries every five, security tight.
Stopping before a presidential suite, Liu Zhankuang said to Li Feng and the others, “Li Feng, the family head and the others await you inside.”
Hearing this, Li Feng pushed the door and entered.
