Qu Gang’s face was full of smug triumph. No matter how strong Li Feng might be, he did not believe anyone could match his two bodyguards. They had undergone special training; taking on ten ordinary men was child’s play to them.
“Qu Gang, you think these two bodyguards can handle me?” Li Feng sneered, his eyes filled with contempt.
“Hah, you will find out soon enough. Get him! Leave him breathing, but do not hold back otherwise.” Qu Gang barked at the bodyguards.
“Yes, young master.” The two bodyguards grinned ferociously and stepped towards Li Feng, each reaching out a palm to strike his shoulders.
In their eyes, a frail-looking young man like him was easy prey.
A cold glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. Just as their palms were about to land, he clenched his fists and struck out fiercely.
Bang! Bang!
The two bodyguards did not even have time to react. They grunted and flew backwards, crashing heavily onto the floor and passing out.
“What?” Qu Gang’s expression changed drastically. He had never imagined his elite bodyguards would be so helpless against Li Feng. Who on earth was this man, with such terrifying skills?
Wang Mengying’s face also turned pale. He had wanted to fight Li Feng one-on-one earlier. Now he felt a chill of fear. If Li Feng could defeat Qu Gang’s bodyguards so easily, ten of him would not be enough.
“Qu Gang, it seems your bodyguards are rubbish.” Li Feng sneered and walked towards him.
“You, you…”
Before Qu Gang could finish, Li Feng grabbed his collar and lifted him off the ground.
“Let go of me! Let go right now! I am the eldest young master of the Qu family! You cannot treat me like this!” Qu Gang’s face twisted in panic.
“Let you go? Fine.” Li Feng laughed coldly and slammed Qu Gang hard onto the floor.
“Ow! It hurts! It hurts so much!” The impact was brutal. Qu Gang nearly burst into tears.
“Gang Shao, Gang Shao, are you all right?” Wang Mengying rushed over to help Qu Gang up, then glared viciously at Li Feng. “Li Feng, how dare you treat Gang Shao like this? You really do not know how the word ‘death’ is written.”
“What?”
Li Feng had not yet reacted when Qu Gang’s face drained of colour. He whipped around and stared at Wang Mengying. “What did you just call him?”
“Li Feng,” Wang Mengying answered, confused.
“Li… Li Feng.” Qu Gang turned ashen. As the Qu family heir, how could he not know what Young Master Li Feng represented? Many people shared the name, but someone this arrogant, who looked down on him and was called Li Feng? There could only be one.
“You… you are Li Feng?” Qu Gang stared at him in terror. He did not know the exact details of what happened at the Imperial Hotel two days ago, but he knew Li Feng was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend. The Liu family’s Liu Shichao and Liu Shijie had died because of Li Feng, and now the entire Liu family dared not even fart.
He might be arrogant and look down on others, but it depended on the target. Li Feng was far beyond his reach. He did not doubt Li Feng could kill him. Many had died at the Imperial Hotel because of this man.
“I am Li Feng. What is the matter, Gang Shao? Did you not know who I was?” Li Feng’s lips curved into a cold smile.
“I, I…” Qu Gang shot Wang Mengying a venomous glare, then lowered his head obsequiously. “Young Master Feng, I did not know it was you. If I had known, I would never have dared speak to you like that.”
“Did not know?” Li Feng sneered. “Qu Gang, earlier you wanted me to kowtow and apologise, and hand Xu Qing over to you. Do you think a simple ‘I did not know’ makes it all right?”
“I, I…” Cold sweat poured down Qu Gang’s face. Stealing Li Feng’s woman and demanding he kowtow? Was that not suicide?
At that moment, endless regret filled Qu Gang’s heart.
“Gang Shao, this…” Wang Mengying was utterly confused. He could not understand why Qu Gang’s attitude had changed so dramatically, even calling Li Feng “Young Master Feng”.
Qu Gang turned and glared coldly at Wang Mengying. He blamed everything on this man. If not for him, how could he have offended Li Feng?
“Qu Gang, what do you plan to do about today?” Li Feng asked with a cold laugh.
“Young Master Feng, today was all Wang Mengying’s doing. I had no idea it was you. If I had known, I would never have said such things. How about I kill Wang Mengying and apologise to you?” Qu Gang said quickly.
Hearing this, Wang Mengying collapsed to the floor in terror. Even an idiot could see Li Feng was no ordinary person. Someone who made the Qu family heir tremble was far beyond a small fry like him.
“Heh, Qu Gang, nice calculation. Push all the blame onto Wang Mengying and walk away clean. Do you think I need your help to deal with a nobody like him?” Li Feng laughed coldly.
“Then… what does Young Master Feng mean…” Qu Gang looked at him nervously. With Li Feng’s methods, crushing Wang Mengying was effortless. Right now, he feared not for Wang Mengying, but for himself. Li Feng was ruthless. He did not want to die over this.
“What I mean!” Li Feng sneered, then slapped him hard.
Slap!
Qu Gang spun and crashed to the floor.
“Young Master Feng, you…” Qu Gang had never been hit like this in his life. The slap left him dazed. He looked up, ready to rage, but Li Feng’s icy stare made him shiver.
“Qu Gang, you knew Liu Shichao and Liu Shijie, right? They are lonely ghosts now. Care to join them?” Li Feng said coldly.
“No! Young Master Feng, I will never dare again!” Qu Gang’s face turned deathly pale. He dropped to his knees before Li Feng and begged desperately. He did not doubt Li Feng’s words. The Liu brothers were a vivid example.
Seeing this, Wang Mengying and all the classmates were stunned. This was the Qu family eldest young master, a true aristocrat of Tianhai City, someone far above them. Yet here he was, kneeling before Li Feng. Who exactly was this man?
At that moment, everyone turned to look at Xu Qing. Earlier they had mocked her poor taste for dating a jobless bum. Now, who would dare question her judgment? A man who could make the Qu family heir kneel with a few words could never be unemployed.
“Never dare again? Is there anything you, Qu Gang, would not dare? The moment I turn my back, you will send men after me, right?” Li Feng sneered.
“No, no, absolutely not.” Revenge against Li Feng? Without the Liu brothers’ precedent, maybe. But with it? He would not even dream of it.
“You had better not. Not just you, even your entire Qu family means nothing to me. In my eyes, there are only two types of people: enemies and friends. Which will you choose, Gang Shao?” Li Feng stared at him coldly.
“The second! The second!” Qu Gang said at once.
“The second? Think carefully. Liu Shichao chose the second at first too, but then thought he could kill me and switched to the first. If you want to follow his example, I will not blame you. Just hope you live longer than he did.” Li Feng laughed coldly.
“No, Young Master Feng, I have decided. The second. Whatever you need, just say it. I will do everything in my power.” Qu Gang’s face was pale with fear as he spoke hurriedly.
Li Feng grabbed Qu Gang and dragged him out into the corridor. Seeing no one around, he leaned in and whispered a few sentences.
Qu Gang’s expression changed dramatically. “Young Master Feng, this, this…”
“What? You cannot even handle this little thing?” Li Feng’s face darkened, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
“No, no, Young Master Feng. I will complete the task with all my strength.” Qu Gang gritted his teeth.
“Good. Qu Gang, remember what you just said. Otherwise, next time we meet, I will take your life.” Li Feng patted his shoulder, signalling he could leave.
Watching Qu Gang’s retreating figure disappear down the corridor, Li Feng’s expression turned grim. He knew asking Qu Gang to do this was risky, but with Liu Shichao dead, he had no one left in the four families he could use. He had to test Qu Gang.
If Qu Gang succeeded, his plan to destroy the four families could begin immediately. If Qu Gang betrayed him like Liu Shichao, he would find another way.
But after the previous lesson, how could he be unprepared?
With that thought, Li Feng gave a cold smile and returned to the private room.
Inside, Xu Qing’s classmates crowded around her, chattering nonstop, while Wang Mengying sat alone on the floor, isolated.
Hearing footsteps, everyone looked up. Seeing Li Feng, fear filled their faces.
“Xu Qing, it is time we left.” Li Feng said to her.
“Yes.” Xu Qing nodded and followed him out. She did not want to spend another second with these snobbish classmates.
What Li Feng did not know was that as he and Xu Qing left the Holiday Hotel, a pair of cold eyes watched him from a café across the street.
