Imperial Coffee Shop, Emperor Private Room.
“Miss Ying, I didn’t expect you to ask me out.” Li Feng looked at Ying Suyan sitting opposite him, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
He had just left Fengyuan Group when he received a call from Ying Suyan. In the call, Ying Suyan wanted to talk to him. How could Li Feng not know the reason? He just hadn’t expected Ying Suyan to be so patient, waiting several days before calling him.
“Li Feng, let’s be frank. You know why I asked you here.” Ying Suyan said solemnly.
“Miss Ying, you think too highly of me. How would I know your purpose? I’m not a worm in your stomach, nor do we have any telepathic connection.” Li Feng smiled and said.
“Li Feng, aren’t you disgusted with yourself?” Ying Suyan gave Li Feng a cold glance. She had thought about it for days after returning home but still couldn’t figure out how Li Feng knew about her connections with Boss Du and Boss Lu. Their contacts were extremely secretive. Unless Boss Du and Boss Lu had betrayed her, but Ying Suyan believed that was impossible. She could absolutely guarantee their loyalty.
“Disgusted?”
Li Feng smiled, his gaze falling on Ying Suyan’s curvaceous figure. “To be honest, Miss Ying, I really wouldn’t mind being a worm in your stomach. After all, being with such a beautiful woman every day, even as your worm, would be a happy thing.”
“You…” Ying Suyan glared at Li Feng furiously, wishing she could splash the coffee in her hand onto his face. She had seen shameless people, but never one this shameless.
“Alright, Miss Ying, no more joking. I understand your purpose, but if you want me to keep it secret, what will you offer?” Li Feng smiled and said.
Fu Yanxiong was now under his divine control technique. He had already learned from Fu Yanxiong what Boss Du and Boss Lu wanted him to do. However, this matter had little to do with him. He didn’t want to change anything. He just wanted to use it to gain the benefits he desired from Ying Suyan.
“I already told you my terms last time. How have you considered them, Young Master Feng?” Ying Suyan said.
“Last time’s terms?” A disdainful smile curled at Li Feng’s lips as he looked coldly at Ying Suyan. “Miss Ying, do you think I would agree?”
“Young Master Feng, you have no choice. The Hongmen people have already arrived. If you don’t agree, facing Hongmen’s revenge, your only outcome is death.” Ying Suyan said coldly.
“Death?”
Li Feng smiled. “Miss Ying, you mean Blood Shadow, sent by Chen Junyi? Do you think he can kill me?”
“You actually know who Chen Junyi sent to kill you?” Ying Suyan’s pupils contracted, a trace of shock flashing in her heart. Even she, mobilising her family’s resources, only knew that Chen Junyi had sent someone to Tianhai City. She had no information on exactly who it was.
Yet Li Feng knew precisely who Chen Junyi had sent. How could this not shock her? Could the Li family have someone close to Chen Junyi? Otherwise, how would he know exactly who was coming?
“Killing me? Blood Shadow may not have the means alone, but if someone cooperates, that’s another story.”
At this point, Li Feng glanced at Ying Suyan and continued, “Moreover, Miss Ying, if I die, I won’t tell anyone about Boss Du and Boss Lu. Wouldn’t your goal be achieved? In my opinion, you shouldn’t be negotiating terms with me now. You should be cooperating with Hongmen to kill me. After all, dead men tell no tales.”
“I have no deep grudge with Young Master Feng. I won’t kill you.” Ying Suyan had indeed considered having Li Feng silenced to keep the secret, but was Li Feng that easy to kill? Thinking of the unfathomably powerful innate realm expert by Li Feng’s side, even if she cooperated with Hongmen, Ying Suyan wasn’t sure they could kill him in one strike. If they failed, her carefully prepared long-term plan would collapse.
Ying Suyan couldn’t take the risk, so she could only negotiate terms, hoping Li Feng would keep his mouth shut. But she also knew that without sufficient benefits, Li Feng would never agree.
“Is that so?” Li Feng smiled faintly. “Then I’ll thank you in advance, Miss Ying. At least you’ve made me one less enemy in Tianhai City.”
“Li Feng, just state your terms.” Ying Suyan took a deep breath and said.
“Miss Ying, it seems the matter with Boss Du and Boss Lu is very important to you.” Li Feng looked at Ying Suyan with a smile.
From Fu Yanxiong, he knew some details but couldn’t analyse what Ying Suyan’s purpose was in having Boss Du and Boss Lu approach Fu Yanxiong. More importantly, Fu Yanxiong had gained many benefits from cooperating with them for so long.
Would Ying Suyan secretly help Fu Yanxiong? That was clearly impossible, unless she secretly liked Fu Yanxiong and didn’t want him to know, so she sent people to help him covertly. But Li Feng would rather believe a sow could climb a tree than believe Ying Suyan liked Fu Yanxiong.
“Indeed.” Ying Suyan nodded, not denying it.
Li Feng picked up his coffee, took a sip, then said slowly, “Miss Ying, you came to Tianhai City this time for the Nine Dragons Jade, right?”
Ying Suyan’s pupils contracted. “Li Feng, you don’t mean you want me to help you seize the Nine Dragons Jade? You’re facing Hongmen’s revenge and can barely protect yourself, yet you still want to compete for it? Besides, the Li family’s representative is Li Wu, isn’t it? You, Li Feng, probably aren’t even qualified to compete.”
Each major force only had one invitation letter. Without it, no one could enter the place where the Nine Dragons Jade was contested. This time, the Li family’s representative was Li Wu, and the invitation was in his hands.
Given the relationship between Li Wu and Li Feng, would he bring Li Feng in? That was simply impossible. Even if Li Wu was willing, Li Feng couldn’t enter that place.
Otherwise, the Ying family wouldn’t have sent only her, Ying Suyan. With so many direct descendants in the Ying family, sending more would increase their chances of obtaining the Nine Dragons Jade.
“Haha.”
Li Feng smiled. “Li Wu? Yes, the Li family’s representative is Li Wu, but that doesn’t mean I, Li Feng, can’t compete for the Nine Dragons Jade.”
“You…” Ying Suyan thought of a possibility, and her expression changed.
“Besides, when did I say I needed you to help me compete for the Nine Dragons Jade?” Li Feng sneered, looking at Ying Suyan. “Truly big-chested and brainless. Are all you women the same?”
“Then what do you want?” Ying Suyan suppressed her anger and said solemnly.
“My terms are…” Li Feng glanced at Ying Suyan, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes as he slowly stated his conditions.
“What? Your terms are actually this? Impossible.” Hearing Li Feng’s terms, Ying Suyan’s expression changed drastically, and she refused without hesitation.
“Miss Ying, think carefully. These terms aren’t difficult for you. Compared to your plan involving Boss Du and Boss Lu, this is child’s play.” Li Feng said solemnly.
“Li Feng, I’m telling you, that’s impossible.” Ying Suyan shook her head. If Li Feng’s terms had been anything else, she might have agreed, but these terms, even if she could easily fulfil them, she would not.
“Haha, Miss Ying, don’t refuse so quickly. I think these terms hardly count as terms at all.” At this point, Li Feng glanced at Ying Suyan and said, “Miss Ying, do you know what my original terms were? They were to have you spend a night with me. I think that’s the one you truly couldn’t do, right?”
“Li Feng, can you be any more shameless?” Ying Suyan stared coldly at Li Feng.
“Miss Ying, is this shameless? I believe anyone else would have the same idea.” Li Feng smiled and said.
“Li Feng, you will regret this.” Ying Suyan said solemnly.
Li Feng smiled, simply watching Ying Suyan quietly. He felt his earlier terms weren’t difficult for her. The reason she refused was just that she couldn’t accept them at first. But he believed she would eventually agree.
A trace of struggle flashed in Ying Suyan’s eyes. She had considered many possible terms from Li Feng, but never this.
“Fine, I agree to your terms. I hope you keep your word.” After careful consideration, Ying Suyan decided to accept Li Feng’s conditions.
“Rest assured, I, Li Feng, have at least that much credibility. As long as you agree, I won’t tell Fu Yanxiong.” Li Feng smiled and said.
Tell Fu Yanxiong?
Fu Yanxiong was already under his control. What would be the point of telling him? He could make Fu Yanxiong do anything he wanted without telling him. Moreover, he wanted to use Fu Yanxiong’s cooperation with Boss Du and Boss Lu to guess Ying Suyan’s true intentions.
“I hope it’s as you say.” A glint flashed in Ying Suyan’s eyes as she spoke.
“Alright, Miss Ying, I’ve finished my coffee, and we’ve concluded our business. It’s time for me to leave.” Li Feng stood up, said a word to Ying Suyan, and left the private room.
After Li Feng left, an old woman entered the room.
“Miss, what were Li Feng’s terms?” The old woman asked, looking at Ying Suyan who was deep in thought.
Ying Suyan repeated Li Feng’s terms.
The old woman’s expression changed. “Li Feng is truly audacious to propose such terms. Miss, you agreed?”
“I had no choice.”
A fierce glint flashed in Ying Suyan’s eyes. “Now I only hope Li Feng keeps his word. Otherwise, no matter the cost, I will not let him go.”
