“Qin Feng, I do not understand what you mean.” Li Wu’s pupils contracted, his face changing slightly. But in front of Qin Feng, he still gave a cold laugh.
“Li Wu, at this point, will you still not admit it? Li Feng is no waste. He is the biggest obstacle in your competition for the Li family inheritance. Do you not want to eliminate him?” Qin Feng said with a cold laugh.
“Qin Feng, I do not know what you are talking about. Li Feng is my elder brother. Why would I eliminate him?” Li Wu shook his head.
“Hahaha, Li Wu, oh Li Wu, do you still want to put on an act in front of me? Everyone in the world knows the relationship between you and Li Feng. What is the point of pretending in front of me? Fine, if you are not interested in what Li Feng has done in Tianhai City, pretend I never came. Farewell.” Qin Feng smiled, turned, and walked away.
“Wait.” Seeing Qin Feng about to reach the door, Li Wu quickly called out.
“Li Wu, is there anything else?” Qin Feng turned his head.
“I…” Li Wu found it hard to speak.
“Haha, Li Wu, you are suffering to save face. Why can you not ask for intelligence on Li Feng?” Qin Feng smiled, looking at Li Wu meaningfully.
Li Wu felt embarrassed. He had not expected Qin Feng to be so blunt.
“Alright, no more joking.” Qin Feng smiled, sat on the sofa opposite Li Wu, and looked at his somewhat unsightly face. “I have to say, Li Wu, you are in big trouble. Originally, the Li family inheritance was yours for certain, but now there is Li Feng. All I can tell you is that becoming the Li family heir is impossible for you.”
“Not necessarily.” Li Wu gave a cold laugh. Li Feng had pretended to be a waste for years, but he did not think Li Feng was his match. He was confident he could defeat him in the heir selection.
“Haha, Li Wu, that is because you do not know what Li Feng has done in Tianhai City. If you knew, you probably would not think that way.” Qin Feng smiled.
“What has Li Feng done in Tianhai City?” Li Wu said with a cold laugh. “He just reorganised Xiangfeng Investment Company into Fengyuan Group. Even if Fengyuan Group has money, so what? Sometimes, money cannot solve problems.”
“Li Wu, if you think Fengyuan Group is Li Feng’s only force, you are greatly mistaken. All I can tell you is that in Tianhai City, Li Feng could kill you with ease.” Qin Feng looked at Li Wu coldly. “Right now, you probably do not realise that half your foot is already in the coffin.”
“Nonsense.” Li Wu gave a cold hum, clearly not believing Qin Feng. If Li Feng wanted to kill him, that would be suicide. His bodyguard Li Yong could easily handle him.
“Nonsense?” Qin Feng smiled, looking at Li Wu. “Li Wu, do you know the Blackstone Gang in Tianhai City?”
“Yes, one of the three major underground forces in Tianhai City.” Li Wu nodded. Before coming to Tianhai City, he had reviewed information on the four great families and the three underground forces, key components of the city.
“Then do you know that the Blackstone Gang has been destroyed by Li Feng?” Qin Feng said.
“What?” Li Wu’s face changed. Destroying an underground force was no big deal to him, but in Tianhai City, it was different. With the four great families present, these underground forces likely had deep connections with them. Li Feng destroyed the Blackstone Gang, yet the four great families let him live well until now. This could only mean Li Feng had strength that made the four great families wary.
“Now it can be said that Li Feng has taken over the Blackstone Gang and become the local boss of Tianhai City, with thousands of men at his command and countless experts around him. Do you still think Li Feng lacks the power to kill you?” Qin Feng smiled. This time, his purpose in finding Li Wu was to use him against Li Feng, so his words were half true, half false.
Li Wu’s face changed. He did not doubt Qin Feng’s words, especially since he believed Li Feng’s pretence as a waste was a conspiracy by Li Chuanwei. Then, Li Chuanwei had likely placed many experts around Li Feng. Plus, Li Feng had replaced the Blackstone Gang as the local boss. Killing him was not impossible.
At this moment, Li Wu thought of the family meeting where Li Chuanwei agreed to let him come to Tianhai City for the Nine Dragon Jade. Li Chuanwei had probably set a deadly trap for him in Tianhai City long ago.
“Li Wu, if you do not want to die, the only way is to strike first.” Qin Feng said gravely.
“Humph, Qin Feng, are you not trying to sow discord between me and Li Feng?” Li Wu’s heart surged with killing intent toward Li Feng, but he did not show it. He knew Qin Feng’s words were ill-intentioned.
“Yes, I want to use you to eliminate Li Feng.” Qin Feng did not deny it but nodded.
Li Wu looked at Qin Feng in surprise. He had not expected him to admit it so frankly.
“Because Li Feng is also my enemy.” Qin Feng said gravely.
“Li Feng is your enemy too? Qin Feng, what is your relationship with Li Feng? Do you think I will believe that?” Li Wu gave a cold laugh. He had witnessed Li Feng’s conflicts with Ma Xiaoyong and Fu Yanxiong at the Imperial Hotel, but he saw no conflict between Li Feng and Qin Feng.
“Do I need to lie to you? Just investigate and you will know. This is no secret.”
Pausing, Qin Feng looked at Li Wu and continued, “There is a Sun Group in Tianhai City, backed by me. But Li Feng used Fengyuan Group to swallow it. Though Li Feng and I are not mortal enemies, I lost the Sun Group and a source of income. I want him dead.”
Qin Feng did not explain why Li Feng swallowed the Sun Group. He only needed Li Wu to believe they had a grudge. His goal was achieved.
“So you thought of using me?” Li Wu’s expression turned cold.
“How can it be called using you? We can only call it cooperation.” Qin Feng smiled.
“Cooperation?”
“Yes, cooperation. To become the Li family heir, you must eliminate Li Feng. I want revenge for the Sun Group merger and also want Li Feng dead. We have common interests.” Qin Feng nodded.
Li Wu fell silent. Qin Feng’s words tempted him. Even without Qin Feng, he would deal with Li Feng. Having one more person was beneficial. But in front of Qin Feng, he felt he could not agree easily.
“Li Wu, if you are unwilling, fine. I can only wish you luck.” Qin Feng sneered inwardly. Li Wu was the type who suffered to save face. He could see Li Wu was tempted but would not agree easily for pride.
If not to deal with Li Feng, he would not bother talking to such a person. It was too tiring.
“How do you want to cooperate?” Li Wu said gravely.
“I provide intelligence. You kill Li Feng.” Qin Feng smiled.
“Qin Feng, what a fine plan.” Li Wu looked at Qin Feng coldly. He had not expected this so-called cooperation to be like this. Whether Li Feng died or not, Qin Feng lost nothing.
“You disagree?” Qin Feng asked.
“Why should I agree? Qin Feng, do you take me for an idiot? You are the Qin family eldest young master. Why not deal with Li Feng yourself?” Li Wu gave a cold laugh.
“Li Wu, if you disagree, fine. I am not begging you. I just wonder how Li Feng will react when he learns you want to kill him.” Qin Feng smiled.
Li Wu’s face changed, a cold killing intent flashing deep in his eyes. He looked at Qin Feng coldly. “Are you threatening me?”
“Threatening? Have I?” Qin Feng smiled, completely at ease. This time, he had Li Wu cornered.
“Qin Feng, do you believe you cannot leave here today?” Li Wu stared at Qin Feng with icy eyes.
“Do you have the ability? Li Wu, I do not mean to belittle you, but your Li Yong is no match for Elder Xu, even with Xu Yang added. As for you…” Qin Feng gave a cold laugh, full of disdain. “As for you, do you think you are my match? I do not mean to belittle you, but one-on-one, killing you would be easy.”
“Not necessarily. If you do not believe it, try.” Li Wu said coldly.
“Li Wu, if you want to fight, go find Li Feng. He charged into the Blackstone Gang alone. Do you think you can do that?”
Qin Feng glanced at Li Wu, curled his lip in disdain. “Li Wu, bickering with me here is meaningless. Better think how to deal with Li Feng. The cooperation I mentioned earlier is actually for your good. The Qin family’s intelligence is no weaker than the Li family’s.”
Li Wu’s heart stirred. He worried the family intelligence network in Tianhai City had been tampered with by Li Chuanwei and dared not use it. His own network had only a few agents in Tianhai City. Investigating would yield nothing. Using the Qin family’s network was a good choice.
“I can agree to cooperate, but you must send people to assist.” Li Wu said gravely.
“Alright.” Qin Feng smiled. Li Feng was becoming more unpredictable. Each time he thought he understood, Li Feng surprised him. He needed someone to probe Li Feng. Previously Su Xin and Sun Xipeng, then Hu Meng, now Li Wu.
“Hope you do not play tricks, or you will know what regret means.” Li Wu said coldly.
“Li Wu, rest assured. I only want Li Feng dead.” A cold laugh flashed deep in Qin Feng’s eyes. This Li Wu was far inferior to Li Feng, not worth being his opponent, but useful to test Li Feng.
