“Damn it.”
Just as Fu Yanxiong and Mu Jiajia were discussing Li Wu, Li Wu was flying into a rage. In front of him, Xu Yang and Li Yong looked ashamed as they faced Li Wu.
“Two days, a full two days passed before you received news of the total annihilation. What the hell are you good for?” Li Wu’s face was livid as he stared at Xu Yang and the other.
“Young Master.” Xu Yang and Li Yong lowered their heads, not daring to meet Li Wu’s furious gaze.
“Has Li Feng become the sole ruler of Tianhai City?” Li Wu said coldly. Mu Jiajia had guessed correctly. One of the groups that attacked the Black Eagle team’s training base this time was sent by Li Wu. But he only received news of the total wipeout now, and one could imagine the anger in his heart.
“Young Master, Young Master Qin did not give us intelligence, and we dared not contact the family’s intelligence network, so…” Xu Yang said shamefully, head bowed.
“And you two, are you idiots? Don’t we have intelligence personnel in Tianhai City? Can’t they even investigate such a major incident?” Li Wu’s face darkened.
Hearing this, Xu Yang lowered his head in shame. The intelligence personnel under him had always been assigned to monitor people from the other eight great families. This time, dealing with Li Feng, he thought Qin Feng’s intelligence would help, so he did not mobilise his own people. He never expected such a big incident.
“Young Master, I think this was deliberate on Young Master Feng’s part.” Xu Yang thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, “Our intelligence personnel were not focused on this, so we did not get the news. Young Master Feng controls the Qin family’s intelligence network. They must have known, yet they did not tell us. Probably…”
“Qin Feng.” Li Wu’s face was as dark as water, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He had trusted that Qin Feng was sincerely cooperating with him, so he sent a team to assassinate Li Feng. Instead, he got news of total annihilation, and only two days later. If Li Feng found out it was him, and wanted revenge, these two days were enough for him to arrange many things.
Li Wu felt played by Qin Feng. Qin Feng probably knew early on that Li Feng was not easy to deal with, so he deliberately let his men go to their deaths.
“Young Master, actually, I think this total wipeout is not entirely a bad thing for us.” Xu Yang said gravely.
“What did you say?” Li Wu looked coldly at Xu Yang. The team sent to attack Li Feng this time was not his most elite, but it was definitely a force he had trained for a long time, his most important asset.
Yet Xu Yang said the annihilation of this team was not a bad thing. Did he need all his men lost before it counted as good?
“Young Master, at least we now know how strong Li Feng’s forces are. The people we sent, even with the strength you have, making them suffer total annihilation would probably not be easy. Yet Li Feng did it. This shows how powerful his forces are. Moreover, this attack on Li Feng’s training base was not just us. There was another group, and I heard there was a post-natal seventh-level ancient martial artist.” Xu Yang said gravely.
Li Wu sucked in a breath. Someone who could even kill a post-natal seventh-level ancient martial artist, had Li Feng’s strength really reached such a terrifying level?
Li Chuanwei, Mu Chunfeng, Li Feng, what a fine calculation.
Cold light flashed in Li Wu’s eyes. The stronger Li Feng was, the greater his chance of becoming the family heir, and the more disadvantageous it was for him.
“Li Feng must die.”
Li Wu’s heart was filled only with towering killing intent. For him, nothing was more important than becoming the family heir. Now his only thought was to make Li Feng die.
“Young Master, actually, we should not act against Li Feng now.” Xu Yang glanced at Li Wu and said cautiously.
“What did you say?” Li Wu’s face changed. He looked coldly at Xu Yang. “Should I not kill him?”
“Young Master, the family heir selection is in one year. That year is enough for you to kill Li Feng. But now in Tianhai City, the chance of you killing Li Feng is low. Some people might even hope you and Li Feng fight until both are injured.” Xu Yang said gravely.
“What do you mean?” If Xu Yang were not his trusted aide since childhood, Li Wu might have slapped him.
“Young Master, Li Feng has been operating in Tianhai City for over a year. His strength is formidable. With our current forces in Tianhai City, we are probably not his match. Even mobilising people from elsewhere, not to mention whether they can arrive in time, it is somewhat not worth the loss. Moreover, Li Feng does not lack enemies in Tianhai City. That day at the Imperial Hotel, Li Feng offended not only Zhu Yuanyang and Ma Xiaoyong, but also has deep conflicts with Tianhai City’s four great families. The other group that attacked Li Feng’s training base this time was probably either Zhu Yuanyang’s people or the four great families. At this time, it is best for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.” Xu Yang said gravely.
“Impossible.” Li Wu rejected without hesitation. He preferred to nip danger in the bud. Sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight was, in his view, the behaviour of the incapable.
Moreover, in his opinion, the family sending him to Tianhai City this time was clearly a deadly trap aimed at him. If he did not resist, he might die without knowing when.
“Young Master…”
“No more. What I want now is Li Feng dead, not some sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight.” Li Wu interrupted Xu Yang and said coldly.
Xu Yang fell silent. He knew Li Wu’s character. The best way to deal with Li Feng now was to borrow someone else’s knife to kill, to sit and watch the fight, saving effort and worry. But clearly, Li Wu would not do that.
“Young Master, how about I go kill Li Feng?” Li Yong said gravely.
Hearing this, Li Wu’s eyes lit up. He knew Li Yong’s strength. It was not impossible for him to kill Li Feng.
“Young Master, this must not be done.” Xu Yang said hurriedly.
“Why not?” Li Wu said coldly.
“Young Master, anyone else by your side can kill Li Feng, but Li Yong absolutely cannot.” Xu Yang said quickly.
“Why?” Li Wu asked coldly.
“Young Master, do not forget Li Yong’s background.” Xu Yang said gravely.
Li Wu’s face changed. Only then did he remember Li Yong’s identity. If Li Yong acted to kill Li Feng, it would violate the family’s taboo. Whether Li Yong could kill Li Feng or not, he, Li Wu, would not become the family heir. This was the family’s iron law for a thousand years. No one could break it.
“Then what method do you have to deal with Li Feng?” Li Wu asked gravely.
“There is a way. Young Master, do you know about Li Feng’s Fengyuan Group?” Xu Yang thought and said.
“The one Li Feng and Hu Yuanyuan founded. I know that.” Li Wu nodded, somewhat puzzled. “What does this have to do with dealing with Li Feng?”
“Young Master, Fengyuan Group’s Intelligent No. 1 is a revolutionary reform in the field of intelligence. Many people are now interested in this Intelligent No. 1. Many among the eight top families have their eyes on it. As far as I know, the reason Qin Feng became enemies with Li Feng is precisely because of this Intelligent No. 1.”
Speaking here, a wise glint flashed in Xu Yang’s eyes. “And tomorrow is Fengyuan Group’s press conference. This Intelligent No. 1 will be announced for listing. If Young Master wants to act, tomorrow is the opportunity. Not only that, Young Master can also bring Fengyuan Group’s Intelligent No. 1 under the Li family banner.”
“Tomorrow?” A glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes.
“Yes, tomorrow. Tomorrow we only need to do this and that.” Xu Yang whispered a few words and then laughed sinisterly.
“Good. Tomorrow I will see how Li Feng ends up.” Li Wu gave a sinister smile, cold light flashing in his eyes.
“Li Feng.”
Li Feng had just left Wenjun Pavilion Pharmacy when he heard a voice from behind.
“Officer Mu? What are you doing here?” Li Feng turned and saw that the one calling him was none other than the beautiful policewoman Mu Xiuzhen.
“You came here to buy medicine?” Mu Xiuzhen glanced at Wenjun Pavilion Pharmacy, disdain in her eyes. Li Feng was young yet came here to buy medicine. Who knew how many women he had ruined to hollow out his body.
“Yes. You too?” Li Feng had no idea what Mu Xiuzhen was thinking and asked casually.
“You wish. I am here to investigate a case.” Mu Xiuzhen glared hard at Li Feng.
“You are investigating a case?” Li Feng looked Mu Xiuzhen up and down. At this moment, Mu Xiuzhen wore a white dress with red flowers that reached only mid-thigh, a belt cinched tightly at the waist, black thigh-high stockings on her legs, and four-inch strappy high-heeled sandals on her feet.
Li Feng muttered to himself. This outfit was for investigating a case? Since when did police investigate cases dressed like this?
“Pervert, what are you looking at?” Mu Xiuzhen glared hard at Li Feng.
“Officer Mu, what case are you handling?” Li Feng smiled faintly. Mu Xiuzhen’s outfit outlined her figure exquisitely. Two willow-leaf curved eyebrows were ingeniously crafted, a straight and elegant nose with slightly flaring nostrils, and below the refined nose was a cherry-like mouth with clearly defined, moist lips, like ripe cherries ready to be picked. It looked especially tempting.
“Isn’t it the case from your company? That batch of chemical machines has a lead.” Mu Xiuzhen replied.
“Oh, where?” Li Feng’s eyes lit up. He knew Fu Yanxiong urgently needed that batch of machines. If he could find them, it would disrupt his plans.
“Why should I tell you?” Mu Xiuzhen looked warily at Li Feng.
“I am the victim. I have the right to know.” Li Feng said calmly, then looked at Mu Xiuzhen, somewhat puzzled. “Officer Mu, you are not telling me you plan to go alone, are you?”
