“Young Master Feng, among our eight top families, only you can run such a big company. Compared to you, that Li Wu from your Li family is far behind.” Qin Feng walked in from outside, grinning.
“Haha, Young Master Feng is too polite. Actually, for Fengyuan Group to reach today, we have you to thank.” Li Feng looked at Qin Feng meaningfully.
“Young Master Feng jests. What does this have to do with me?” A cold light flashed deep in Qin Feng’s eyes.
“You know it yourself.” Li Feng sneered inwardly. The relationship between him and Qin Feng was only one step away from being openly hostile. For enemies, Li Feng would not be polite.
“I hope Young Master Feng manages Fengyuan Group well. Do not let it become the second Sun Group.” Qin Feng sneered.
“Haha, Young Master Feng, you need not worry about that. There is only one Li Feng in this world.” Li Feng smiled.
“I have seen Young Master Feng’s skill in turning clouds with a flip of the hand. However, confidence is good, but excessive confidence becomes arrogance. Too much arrogance, and ruin is not far away.” Qin Feng smiled.
“Is that so? Then let us wait and see.” Li Feng smiled, but his heart turned cold. He sensed this was Qin Feng blatantly threatening him. But was such a boring threat useful?
Glancing at Qin Feng, Li Feng said, “Young Master Feng, Young Master Song and the others are in the lounge. Shall I take you there?”
“No need. Time is running short, is it not? I would rather chat with Young Master Feng here.” Qin Feng shook his head. He asked, “Young Master Feng, I hear that after this press conference, your company has a competition for the sales agency rights of Intelligent No. 1?”
“What, is Young Master Feng interested?” Li Feng’s gaze sharpened.
“Of course. Intelligent No. 1 is a revolutionary change in the field of intelligence. Once the product launches, sales will surely boom. I want to make some money from it too.” Qin Feng nodded.
“Then welcome, Young Master Feng, to compete.” Li Feng said faintly. In his heart, he guessed Qin Feng’s purpose. Did Qin Feng just want the agency rights? It probably was not that simple. If he only wanted the rights, why mention it to him alone? Pull strings? Forget it. Only a fool would believe that.
Li Feng was now paranoid from all sides. For these people who might oppose him, he guessed the intent behind every word. But he could not be blamed. With so many troubling him, anyone would be suspicious.
Qin Feng just smiled faintly. Just as he was about to speak, footsteps came from outside.
“Haha, Young Master Feng, congratulations.”
Fo Zhu?
Li Feng’s pupils contracted. He had never expected Fo Zhu to appear here. Was the National Security Bureau also interested in Intelligent No. 1?
Li Feng remained extremely vigilant towards Fo Zhu. This was the person he least wanted to deal with. He would rather scheme mutually with Qin Feng and the others than interact with Fo Zhu. Because behind Fo Zhu was the National Security Bureau, representing China.
In this life, Li Feng only wanted to live for himself. He did not want to join any organisation. Fo Zhu’s goal was to make him join the National Security Bureau, which went against his will.
Moreover, from Zhong Shuhui, he knew of their suppression of martial artists. He was someone aiming for the pinnacle of the martial path. These were fundamentally different paths.
If today Fo Zhu was only interested in Intelligent No. 1, that would be manageable. He feared Fo Zhu had other motives. No one knew the National Security Bureau’s methods better than him. In later generations, people compared the National Security Bureau to a second Jinyiwei. It was not just a joke.
Qin Feng looked at this bald youth with some confusion. He had seen all the young masters in the country, but he had never seen this bald youth. Who was he? He seemed quite familiar with Li Feng.
“Young Master Feng, this is Fo Zhu from the National Security Bureau.” Li Feng’s gaze flashed as he introduced him to Qin Feng.
National Security Bureau?
Qin Feng’s expression changed slightly. These top family young masters least wanted to deal with such people. He had never thought that even National Security Bureau personnel would come to this Fengyuan Group press conference.
“Fo Zhu, this is Qin Feng, Young Master Feng.” Li Feng pointed at Qin Feng.
“So it is Young Master Feng. I have long admired your name.” Fo Zhu’s gaze flashed as he looked at Qin Feng with a grin.
Qin Feng gave a dry laugh and greeted Fo Zhu, but in his heart, he guessed Fo Zhu’s purpose today. Was Fo Zhu here representing the National Security Bureau or himself?
If Fo Zhu represented the National Security Bureau, then what was Li Feng’s relationship with them? For a mere press conference, even for Intelligent No. 1, it should not warrant National Security Bureau personnel, unless Li Feng had some special connection.
In that case, he would have to reassess. Though he disliked the National Security Bureau from the heart, it represented a nation. No one could ignore its power.
If Fo Zhu came privately, that was simpler. After all, National Security Bureau people were human too, with emotions and desires. Winning over a few was not impossible.
Of course, the key now was to clarify Li Feng’s relationship with Fo Zhu, or rather with the National Security Bureau. Without knowing, dealing with Li Feng later might bring unexpected trouble.
“Fo Zhu, you busy man, why are you here today?” Li Feng looked at Fo Zhu, his gaze flashing as he guessed his intent. He did not believe Fo Zhu came for no reason. He thought about it. Intelligent No. 1 should not attract Fo Zhu.
“Young Master Feng, what are you saying? Such a big event as Fengyuan Group’s press conference. How could I not come?” Fo Zhu smiled, a gleam in his eyes. He took out a gift box and said, “Today I not only came, but I prepared a gift for Young Master Feng.” He handed the box to Li Feng.
“What is this?” Li Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.
“You will know when you look, Young Master Feng.” Fo Zhu smiled mysteriously.
Li Feng frowned. What was Fo Zhu being so secretive about? But he took the box and opened it.
But after one glance, Li Feng’s expression changed drastically. He snapped the box shut, threw it into Fo Zhu’s hands, and said coldly, “This kind of gift, I, Li Feng, will not accept.”
“Why refuse, Young Master Feng? Accepting this would benefit you. Moreover, with so many troubles around you now, this could solve many for you.” Fo Zhu smiled. Li Feng’s reaction was within his expectations. But so what? Whatever he, Fo Zhu, decided, no one could change. Whether Li Feng accepted now or not, he believed one day Li Feng would. Even if not, he would make him.
“Fo Zhu, you seem very concerned about my affairs.” A cold light flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. This Fo Zhu still harboured intentions to make him join the National Security Bureau. How was that possible? Unless Li Feng died, there was no discussion.
“Young Master Feng, you are the person I value most. Showing some concern is reasonable.” Fo Zhu smiled.
“I think you have too much time on your hands. Other things are fine, but this is non-negotiable.” Li Feng said coldly. He felt he should find a chance to make Fo Zhu give up this idea. Otherwise, his persistent entanglement might bring great trouble.
At this moment, Li Feng naturally did not know that Fo Zhu, to make him join, had long been carefully plotting. If he knew, he would not be so polite to Fo Zhu now.
“Young Master Feng, you are wrong. This is my duty and responsibility.” Fo Zhu’s face was all smiles, but inwardly he raged. He had not expected Li Feng to be so ungrateful. Did Li Feng really think he was somebody? If not for seeing him as talent, he could kill him in minutes.
“Duty and responsibility?” Li Feng sneered. Whatever duty or responsibility, what did it have to do with him?
Qin Feng looked at Li Feng, then at Fo Zhu. He wanted to guess their relationship from their words, but he understood nothing. The only certainty was that Li Feng and Fo Zhu’s relationship was not good.
This discovery excited Qin Feng. If their relationship was close, dealing with Li Feng would be troublesome. But if not, that changed things.
Fo Zhu’s expression turned cold. In his view, Li Feng was not only arrogant, but his forces developed too fast. Forget Fengyuan Group. The Black Eagle team was absolutely a threat. Since Li Feng refused his gift today, he must cripple Li Feng’s claws.
Upon entering Tianfu Building earlier, he received news that England’s MI6 and Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongholds had been uprooted by Li Feng’s subordinates. Plus the US Intelligence Bureau. Li Feng’s power had exceeded his imagination. This was not what he wanted to see.
In Fo Zhu’s eyes, Li Feng was absolutely unstable. If not suppressed, dealing with him later would be hard.
But Fo Zhu knew his identity was special. He could not openly target Li Feng. Ordinary people might not be Li Feng’s match. Last time Zheng Xiaoyang, this time the US Intelligence Bureau. Had they not fallen to Li Feng?
So what method to use against Li Feng? Who? This person needed to be strong, with real power. Without it, dealing with Li Feng was impossible.
Fo Zhu’s gaze fell on Qin Feng beside him, and an idea stirred. He knew about Qin Feng and Li Feng’s matters. Perhaps he could use that.
Thinking this, a smile curved Fo Zhu’s lips.
