“A gift?”
Li Feng curved his lips into a smile and said lightly, “I never expected Young Master Fu to be so polite. Meeting me and immediately offering a gift. I just wonder what this special gift of yours actually is.”
At this point, Li Feng glanced at Zhu Yuanyang beside him, smiled, and continued, “Last time Miss Zhu prepared a special gift for me. I liked it very much. But if Young Master Fu’s special gift is the same as Miss Zhu’s, I’m afraid I really couldn’t accept it.”
“Miss Zhu’s gift?” Fu Yanxiong looked at Zhu Yuanyang in surprise, wondering what Li Feng meant. Why would he say that? Could it be…
Last time at Fengyuan Group, he had already sensed that Zhu Yuanyang and Li Feng were unusually close. Was there some relationship between them that he didn’t know about? Given the ties between the Fu family and the Zhu family, how could he be unaware?
Had Zhu Yuanyang deliberately concealed it, or was there another reason?
Zhu Yuanyang shot Li Feng an irritated glance. Clearly she had not expected him to bring up that gift. It was the most humiliating thing that had happened to her in years.
“Speaking of gifts, Young Master Fu, I think there’s no need for such courtesy. You have already given me the very best one.” A wicked smile played on Li Feng’s lips.
“The very best gift?” Fu Yanxiong blinked.
“Yes, Mu Jiajia. A great beauty. Surely that counts as a present from you?” Li Feng said with a smile.
Fu Yanxiong’s expression changed. He stared coldly at Li Feng. “You captured Mu Jiajia?”
“Young Master Fu, what do you mean I captured her? Do I look like that kind of person? I, Li Feng, am someone who pities beauty. How could I do such a thing?” Li Feng laughed, looking straight at Fu Yanxiong. “Young Master Fu, Mu Jiajia simply wants a good future. You wouldn’t deny her that chance, would you?”
“A good future? With you?” Fu Yanxiong gave a cold laugh. Only a fool would believe Li Feng. Still, Mu Jiajia being in his hands was bad news. If she revealed his secrets, the damage would be enormous.
He had to find a way to get her out, or make sure she died.
A murderous glint flashed through Fu Yanxiong’s eyes.
“Exactly. How could I help it? I’m just too handsome and charming. Everyone loves me. Mu Jiajia fell for me at first sight. There’s no stopping it. A young man should have a little fun, right? I’m sure Young Master Fu has similar experiences.” Li Feng grinned.
“You really live up to your reputation, Young Master Feng. Truly shameless. Beauties are nice, but only if you live long enough to enjoy them.” Fu Yanxiong stared at him icily, fury boiling inside.
He had suspected something between Mu Jiajia and Li Feng last time, and now it seemed there really was.
Could Mu Jiajia have betrayed the location of that chemical equipment? It wasn’t impossible. Otherwise, with her marksmanship, how could she fail even to escape? Yet one thing still puzzled him. If she had betrayed him, why go to all the trouble of stealing the equipment from Fengyuan Group? It made no sense.
Unless…
A possibility struck Fu Yanxiong, and his face shifted.
Regardless of whether that possibility was true or whether Mu Jiajia had betrayed him, she was now in Li Feng’s hands. With Li Feng’s methods, he could probably make her confess the names of her ancestors. And among everyone close to Fu Yanxiong, only Mu Jiajia knew the true purpose of that chemical equipment. If she told Li Feng…
At this thought, killing intent flared in Fu Yanxiong’s eyes. Today he had to deal with Li Feng. If he couldn’t kill him, he at least had to force him to hand over Mu Jiajia.
“Haha, don’t worry, Young Master Fu. I may lack other talents, but when it comes to enjoying beauties, even ten at once would be no problem.” Li Feng turned to Zhu Yuanyang. “Wouldn’t you agree, Miss Zhu?”
“How would I know?” Zhu Yuanyang hadn’t expected the conversation to turn to her. A cold light flashed in her eyes.
“You don’t know? I’ll make sure you find out.” A smile flickered in Li Feng’s eyes.
“What exactly do you want my sister to find out, Young Master Feng?” A voice came from nearby.
Li Feng looked up to see Ying Suoyan walking over with a playful smile.
“Sister?” Li Feng glanced at Zhu Yuanyang, puzzled. “Miss Ying, since when did Miss Zhu become your sister?”
“I acknowledged her as my sworn sister. Is that not allowed?” Ying Suoyan raised an eyebrow.
“Of course it is.” A sharp glint passed through Li Feng’s eyes as he inwardly speculated about the relationship between Ying Suoyan and Zhu Yuanyang. Both women had extraordinary backgrounds, and any connection between them could involve the interests of two major families.
Especially now, when the direct descendants of these top families were all in Tianhai City competing for the Nine Dragons Jade, he needed to figure out who was allied with whom. Just like him and Song Zhiyuan.
Could Ying Suoyan and Zhu Yuanyang have formed a temporary alliance?
“You still haven’t answered my question. What do you want my sister to know?” Ying Suoyan pressed.
The men watching from afar saw Ying Suoyan walk straight to Li Feng and turned their attention to him again. They were curious. Who was this Li Feng that the hostess Zhu Yuanyang personally greeted, and now the stunning Ying Suoyan approached as well?
At that moment, the music in the hall gradually stopped. Couples left the dance floor, and as a new song began, another group stepped in.
Li Feng had been about to reply to Ying Suoyan, but his eyes spun with an idea. He gave her a perfectly gentlemanly invitation bow. “Beautiful Miss Ying Suoyan, may I have this dance?”
Ying Suoyan froze. She hadn’t expected Li Feng to invite her. What was he playing at? Trying to make her look foolish?
She hesitated only a moment before nodding and extending her hand.
Li Feng took it and, under the envious gazes of countless men, led her onto the dance floor.
The instant they entered, his large hand settled on Ying Suoyan’s waist.
Ying Suoyan jumped, looking at him with a touch of alarm.
“Miss Ying, why so nervous?” Li Feng gave a wicked smile and deliberately rubbed her waist a few times.
An indescribable tingling sensation shot from her waist through her entire body. Ying Suoyan’s legs weakened, and her expression darkened. “Young Master Feng, what are you doing?”
Li Feng kept his arm around her waist, guiding her expertly through the steps while smirking. “Didn’t you want to know what I was going to make Zhu Yuanyang understand? I’ll show you with actions.” Inwardly he thought, this Ying Suoyan is definitely up to something. Let’s see how I deal with you this time.
“I don’t understand what you mean.” Seeing his evil grin, Ying Suoyan suddenly regretted accepting the dance, but she could only grit her teeth and endure.
“No problem. You’ll understand soon enough. But before that, I’d like to ask Miss Ying about someone.” Li Feng smiled.
“Ask about someone? There’s nobody in this world you don’t know, Young Master Feng.” Ying Suoyan glanced at him and gave a cold laugh.
“I’m a man, not a god. How could I know everyone?” Li Feng chuckled, his gaze falling on her exquisite face mere inches away. He lowered his voice. “Besides, I won’t let Miss Ying tell me for free.”
“Who do you want to know about?” Ying Suoyan asked.
“Chen Haotian.” The memory of the bone-deep hatred in Chen Haotian’s eyes at the villa entrance told Li Feng the man would never let him go, yet he had no recollection of him.
Ying Suoyan’s eyes flickered. “Young Master Feng, do you really think I’ll tell you?”
“You will.” Li Feng looked into her enchanting, soul-stealing eyes, at her shy and charming expression, at her moist pearl-like lips. He smiled lightly, then gently pulled. Ying Suoyan stumbled straight into his arms.
“Li Feng, you…” Her face changed instantly. She hadn’t expected him to be so bold as to take liberties with her. Even the young masters who fancied her and wanted to woo her would never dare touch her like this.
“What about me?” Li Feng laughed softly, inhaling the fragrance rising from her body. “Miss Ying, I hear you have two subordinates, Boss Du and Boss Lu.”
“Boss Du? Boss Lu? Young Master Feng, I’m just a young lady, not some company boss. How would I know people like that?” Ying Suoyan’s pupils contracted, but she forced a smile.
“Really? If Miss Ying doesn’t know them, then Young Master Fu certainly does.” Li Feng smiled again.
Ying Suoyan’s face completely changed.
Boss Du, Boss Lu, and Fu Yanxiong. For Li Feng to name all three. Was this coincidence?
No. Impossible.
The only explanation was that Li Feng knew something. But how? She had contacted Boss Du and Boss Lu herself. Even her most trusted subordinates were unaware.
“Miss Ying, you look pale. Are you unwell?” Li Feng’s face was all smiles.
“What do you want to know?” Ying Suoyan took a deep breath and asked gravely.
“Very simple. I want information on Chen Haotian, and the real reason Zhu Yuanyang invited me tonight.” Li Feng smiled.
“I can give you the information on Chen Haotian.” Ying Suoyan glanced at him and said seriously, “As for why Zhu Yuanyang invited you, Young Master Feng, you’re being far too suspicious. What purpose could there be? She just wants you to have a drink, dance a little, and meet a few people.”
“Is that so?” Li Feng’s lips curved. “Then just tell me about Chen Haotian. I suspect this Chen Haotian is no ordinary person.”
“Young Master Feng, have you ever heard of the Hongmen?” Ying Suoyan said slowly.
