Durex!
Zhu Yuanyang never imagined that the gift she had carefully selected would turn into Durex. Even as a virgin, she knew what Durex represented. Thinking back to what she said when handing the gift box to Li Feng, anyone would think she was hinting at something.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanyang finally understood why Li Feng and Song Zhiyuan had reacted so strongly earlier.
At this moment, she finally understood why Song Zhiyuan’s gaze was full of sly laughter, because he had seen the gift too.
At this moment, she finally understood what Song Zhiyuan meant by clearing everyone out of the lounge. She had thought he was giving her and Li Feng space to talk, but clearly that was not it.
Right now, Zhu Yuanyang only wanted to find a hole to crawl into from embarrassment. It was mortifying. She had actually given Li Feng Durex.
At the same time, a surge of immense anger rose in her heart. To mend relations with Li Feng, she had chosen this gift with great care, but now it had become Durex. Clearly someone had swapped it.
There was a traitor among her people!
Zhu Yuanyang’s face turned iron-blue. Only those close to her could have swapped the gift, but for a moment she could not figure out who.
“Zhu Yuanyang, you gave me this gift. Is it not a hint?” Li Feng looked at her with a grin. When he first saw the Durex, he had been furious, thinking Zhu Yuanyang was humiliating him. But Song Zhiyuan’s words had swayed him. Though he did not know why she would give him this now, he saw no reason to reject her hint. After all, Zhu Yuanyang was no ugly monster. A great beauty delivering herself to his door, he had no cause to refuse.
He just never expected that, at death’s door, Zhu Yuanyang would deny it. This annoyed Li Feng. If it was her idea, why back out at the last moment?
“Young Master Feng, my gift was swapped by someone.” Zhu Yuanyang took a deep breath. She knew she had misunderstood Li Feng earlier, but now she did not know how to face him. After all, she was the one who gave the gift.
“Swapped? Do you think I will believe that?” Though he said this, Li Feng believed a little. After all, Zhu Yuanyang was one of the Zhu family heirs, called the second Wu Zetian. How could she give such a gift?
But to swap it from her hands, it had to be no ordinary person, perhaps someone very close to her.
Li Feng grew curious. What was the purpose of swapping it for Durex? A prank?
Shaking his head, Li Feng knew it could not be a prank. Who would risk exposing themselves for that?
“Believe it or not, it is up to you.” Zhu Yuanyang could barely look at Li Feng. She just wanted to throw away the Durex in her hand.
Seeing a bin nearby, she prepared to toss it in. A girl holding Durex, if others saw, she would die of shame.
“Wait.” Li Feng stopped her and snatched the box she was about to throw away.
“Li Feng, what do you mean?” Zhu Yuanyang looked at him coldly.
“This is the first gift Zhu Yuanyang has ever given me. Throwing it away would be a shame.” Li Feng smiled. “Who knows, I might need it later.”
“You…” Zhu Yuanyang’s face turned livid. Did Li Feng really think she could fancy him?
“Zhu Yuanyang, no need to be angry. Instead of fuming, think about who swapped it right under your nose.” Li Feng carefully held the box, sat on the sofa, and gently placed it down.
“You do not need to worry about that. I will investigate myself.” Zhu Yuanyang looked at him coldly, inwardly despising him. Men were all the same. A few boxes of Durex and he would not let go.
“What do you mean I do not need to worry?” Li Feng looked up and sneered. “Women really are long on hair and short on wit. Zhu Yuanyang, do you think your subordinate swapped it just to prank you?”
“What do you mean?” Zhu Yuanyang’s expression changed.
“The secret is in this Durex.” Li Feng carefully picked up a box. A chewing gum bomb appeared.
Zhu Yuanyang’s face paled. She never imagined a chewing gum bomb hidden inside the Durex.
“Zhu Yuanyang, do you want my life, or is someone using you to take it?” Li Feng said coldly.
“Li Feng, I had no such intention.” Zhu Yuanyang quickly said. Ever since learning a Xiantian realm expert protected Li Feng, she believed he was the Li family’s chosen heir, and Li Wu was just a smokescreen. Even with the greatest courage, she would not dare kill Li Feng.
Killing him aside, whether she could or if it benefited her, if the Zhu family learned she tried to kill their chosen heir, they might turn on her.
“Then tell me what this is about.” There were five boxes of Durex, each with a chewing gum bomb. If all five detonated at once, even a Xiantian expert would die.
Li Feng secretly rejoiced. He had scanned the box with divine sense earlier, or if Zhu Yuanyang had thrown it in the lounge bin and all five exploded, it would have been big trouble.
Zhu Yuanyang’s face was grim. She took a deep breath. “Li Feng, rest assured, I will give you an explanation.”
Right now, towering rage filled her heart. Someone wanted to use her to harm Li Feng, but it was not just that. They were harming her too. Even she was part of their scheme.
“It seems I have been too soft-hearted at times.”
Zhu Yuanyang thought to herself. Though she did not know who did it, she had a suspect.
“Zhu Yuanyang, I hope you give me a satisfactory answer soon, or it is to the death between us.” Li Feng said coldly. Earlier at the conference centre he found one chewing gum bomb, now five more. Someone wanted him dead.
If the two incidents were unconnected, Li Feng would not believe it even if beaten to death.
Though Zhu Yuanyang might have been used, Li Feng saw this as a chance to drag her in. After all, she was a Zhu family heir with considerable power, and the matter involved her anyway.
“Young Master Feng, rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory answer.” A terrifying chill flashed in Zhu Yuanyang’s eyes. At this moment, she was no longer a weak woman, but a ruthless female tycoon.
Li Feng glanced faintly at her, took out his phone, and made a call.
Two minutes later, An Hu walked in.
“Young Master Feng, finished so soon?” Song Zhiyuan followed An Hu in. Seeing An Hu enter, he came too, but he was puzzled. Was Li Feng that quick? Even for a quick battle, this was too fast.
Entering the lounge, Song Zhiyuan’s gaze swept between Li Feng and Zhu Yuanyang. He muttered inwardly, too fast, even their clothes were back on.
Li Feng glanced at Song Zhiyuan, pointed to the chewing gum bombs on the coffee table, and said to An Hu, “Dispose of these immediately. Also notify everyone: strictly check all attendees at this press conference.”
So many chewing gum bombs found before the press conference even started. Who knew how many would try to sabotage it later.
“Yes.” An Hu responded, picked up the bombs, and left the lounge.
“Young Master Feng, this, this…” Song Zhiyuan did not react at first. Only after An Hu left with the bombs did he say in shock, “Young Master Feng, these are bombs?”
“Indeed. Someone wants my life.” Li Feng nodded.
“Zhu Yuanyang, you have some nerve.” Song Zhiyuan turned sharply to her, killing intent flashing in his eyes. Li Feng was his ally. If something happened, all his prior efforts would be wasted.
He never expected Zhu Yuanyang to dare kill Li Feng, and right before Fengyuan Group’s press conference.
“Song Zhiyuan, do you think I would kill Li Feng?” Zhu Yuanyang replied coldly.
“If not you, then who?” Song Zhiyuan asked, then realised. If Zhu Yuanyang really wanted to kill Li Feng, she would not personally deliver the bombs in front of so many people. It gained her nothing.
Before she could speak, Song Zhiyuan laughed. “Never thought the great Zhu Yuanyang could be used by someone.”
“You…” Zhu Yuanyang glared at him in fury, but she was in the wrong here. She did not know how to explain, nor did she need to explain to Song Zhiyuan. She just stared coldly in silence.
“Enough, Young Master Song. Zhu Yuanyang was probably used too. Now is not the time to assign blame, but to solve the problem.” Li Feng said as the two were about to argue again.
“But Young Master Feng, if Zhu Yuanyang had not brought any gift, this would not have happened. I say she is a jinx.” Song Zhiyuan sneered at her.
“Chewing gum bombs. I already found one earlier at the conference centre. These Zhu Yuanyang brought are not the first, nor will they be the last. Someone wants me dead.” A cold gleam flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. Looking at Song Zhiyuan and Zhu Yuanyang, he said gravely, “Young Master Song, Miss Zhu, I think this time we need to join forces.”
