“Scheming?” Li Feng frowned.
“Yes, exactly scheming. In the past, many people have fallen for Murong Kang’s plots.” Ge Feng nodded. He had personally experienced Murong Kang’s cunning before and knew how formidable he was.
Li Feng fell silent.
Clearly, he had not previously associated the arrogant, overbearing Murong Kang who looked down on everyone with being skilled in scheming. But now that Ge Feng had said this, he had to take it seriously.
Ge Feng asked, “Li Feng, how did you know that Murong Kang intends to make a move against you?”
“Jiang Yong told me.” Li Feng replied.
“Someone from the Jiang family.” Ge Feng was stunned. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He had not expected this matter to involve Jiang Yong. Since when did Li Feng have connections with the Jiang family?
But thinking about the relationship between Jiang Yong and Murong Kang, Ge Feng relaxed.
The reason Murong Kang and Jiang Yong had come to Tianhai City was probably the same as his own. However, while he and Ge Ying were only here to watch the show, Murong Kang and Jiang Yong were different. Murong Kang in particular was likely desperate to obtain the Nine Dragons Jade. Members of the Murong family had longed to possess the Nine Dragons Jade for who knows how many years.
After thinking for a moment, Ge Feng said, “Li Feng, Jiang Yong’s words cannot be trusted. None of the Jiang family are good people.”
“Oh.” Li Feng looked at Ge Feng with some surprise. He had not expected Ge Feng to say this. This was the first time he had heard Ge Feng speak ill of others. At the same time, Li Feng became wary. Ge Feng was definitely not the type to make baseless remarks. If he said this, there must be a reason.
Immediately, Li Feng recounted to Ge Feng the situation of Jiang Yong coming to find him today.
“As I thought.” A sharp glint flashed in Ge Feng’s eyes. He said to Li Feng, “Li Feng, what Jiang Yong said about Murong Kang wanting to deal with you may be true. But what he said about Murong Kang planning to target Zhong Shuhui is almost certainly not.”
“You mean Jiang Yong lied to me?” A cold light flashed in Li Feng’s eyes.
“No. I think Jiang Yong himself does not know who Murong Kang truly intends to target. The Jiang family are notorious for going whichever way the wind blows. Murong Kang cannot possibly be unaware of this, so he would never reveal his real intentions to Jiang Yong. If targeting Zhong Shuhui was something Murong Kang told Jiang Yong, then it must be false.” Ge Feng shook his head.
“Ge Feng, you are that certain?” Li Feng’s expression darkened. He had already set a trap based on Jiang Yong’s words. If Ge Feng was right, not only would this trap fail to deal with Murong Kang, it would instead allow Murong Kang to scheme against him.
“I understand Murong Kang and Jiang Yong.” Ge Feng nodded. The Ge family had good relations with both the Murong and Jiang families. In the past, Ge Feng had even gone on training expeditions with Murong Kang and Jiang Yong.
A sharp glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. “It seems I underestimated them. But since I know Murong Kang wants to deal with me, I will strike first.”
Under the night sky, Tianhai City was ablaze with lights.
Liren Club was the club in Tianhai City second only to Emperor Pavilion and New Century. It was a paradise where men squandered money like water. As long as you had money, at Liren Club you could enjoy service fit for an emperor.
You could have whatever you wanted, and receive whatever kind of service you desired.
Liren Club was an absolute money magnet. Since opening, it had raked in profits daily. If not for the established Emperor Pavilion and the retro-styled New Century in Tianhai City, Liren Club would undoubtedly have become the city’s top club.
Unlike Emperor Pavilion and New Century, at Liren Club they recognised only money, not people. If you had money, you were the boss. If you did not, then please get out. Whether you were a beggar, a white-collar worker, or a young master from a wealthy family, if you had money, you were welcome.
Liren Club differed from Emperor Pavilion and New Century in another way: there were no class distinctions. Whether beggar or chairman of a corporation, or an exalted young master from a great family, your status was the same inside Liren Club.
If you tried to cause trouble at Liren Club, no matter your identity, the result would be getting thrown out.
At this moment, Li Feng brought Ge Feng to the entrance of Liren Club. Looking at the resplendent establishment, Li Feng asked Ge Feng, “Ge Feng, are you sure Murong Kang will come here?”
“Indeed. Although Murong Kang cannot be called lecherous, with his personality he will definitely indulge himself here. Moreover, I contacted friends from several other families and learned that since arriving in Tianhai City, Murong Kang has spent most of his time at Liren Club.” Ge Feng nodded.
“Then let us go in.” Li Feng said and walked towards the club.
Upon entering Liren Club, Li Feng swept his gaze around and said, “Liren Club truly lives up to being a man’s paradise. I believe any man who comes here would be reluctant to leave.”
Unlike the retro atmosphere of New Century, the hostesses here were dressed very fashionably, young and beautiful.
“Ge Feng, have you ever been to a place like this?” Li Feng turned and asked with a smile.
“I have never been to such a place.” Ge Feng shook his head. He either cultivated in the family or trained in dangerous locations. In his view, places like this eroded one’s willpower. He would never come.
“Shall we enjoy ourselves here today? My treat.” A smile played on Li Feng’s lips as he looked at Ge Feng with an ambiguous expression.
“No need.” Ge Feng quickly shook his head. Looking at those debauched, drunken playboys, disgust appeared in his eyes.
“Li Feng, we should find Murong Kang.” Ge Feng said.
“Liren Club is so large. Where do we look?” Li Feng shook his head. They only knew Murong Kang was in Liren Club, but they could not search room by room, could they?
That would make the club staff think they were here to cause trouble, which would be problematic. Anyone able to open a high-end club in Tianhai City must have considerable backing.
“Then what do we do?” Ge Feng was stumped. He also did not know where Murong Kang was.
“Wait.” Li Feng softly uttered the word.
“Wait?” Ge Feng was taken aback. He did not want to stay in this kind of place a minute longer. How could he endure waiting here?
“Yes, wait.” A sharp glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes.
While Li Feng and Ge Feng were speaking, in a corner, a young man stared at them in disbelief. This young man was none other than Jiang Yong.
“Young Jiang, what are you looking at?” A thin young man beside Jiang Yong noticed his expression and asked in confusion.
“He is here.” Jiang Yong’s tone was filled with shock.
“He? Who?” The thin young man followed Jiang Yong’s gaze and saw Li Feng. He was stunned. “Young Jiang, who is this person? You seem very shocked to see him.”
“I would guess he is someone with status like Young Jiang. Otherwise, why would Young Jiang react this way?” A refined young man spoke up.
“We have never seen this person before.” Another young man replied.
“Young Jiang, who is he?” The thin young man asked Jiang Yong.
“He is called Li Feng.” Jiang Yong took a deep breath and answered.
“Li Feng?” The several young men beside him were stunned.
After a while, the refined young man reacted. “Young Jiang, do you mean Li Feng, the vice president of Feng Yuan Group in Tianhai City?”
“Exactly him.” Jiang Yong nodded.
“I did not expect him to be a notable figure. Vice president of Feng Yuan Group.” A strange light flashed in the thin young man’s eyes.
“What, are you thinking of some wicked idea again?” The refined young man said with a smile.
“I am just curious, that is all.” The thin young man replied.
“If you do not want to die, then do not set your sights on Li Feng.” Jiang Yong said coldly to the thin young man.
“What do you mean?” The thin young man was stunned. In all the time he had known Jiang Yong, this was the first time he had heard him speak like this. Could this Li Feng be something special?
“I mean exactly what I said.” Jiang Yong said indifferently. Set sights on Li Feng? He should first weigh whether he had the capability.
“Then who is the person beside him?” The thin young man asked.
“Ge Feng.” Jiang Yong answered.
“Ge Feng? From the Ge family?” A sharp glint flashed in the refined young man’s eyes.
“Indeed.” Jiang Yong nodded and said, “I have something to attend to. I will leave first.” Without waiting for the others to react, he left directly.
“What do you think Young Jiang meant by that?” The thin young man watched Jiang Yong leave and asked the others in surprise.
“It seemed Young Jiang was very shocked when he saw Li Feng just now.” One young man said.
“Shocked? He is just the vice president of a small company. What is there to be shocked about?” Another young man said dismissively.
“I am afraid this Li Feng is not simple. Otherwise, why would Young Jiang react that way?”
“What do you think?” The thin young man asked the refined young man.
“Li Feng is from the Li family in Yanjing.” The refined young man said calmly.
“The Li family in Yanjing.” A cold light flashed in the thin young man’s eyes. He gave a sinister smile. “No wonder Young Jiang is so wary of him.”
Seeing the thin young man’s reaction, the refined young man smiled faintly. He knew about the relationship between the Li family and the thin young man’s family, but he said nothing more at this time.
His gaze fell on Ge Feng beside Li Feng. He found it strange that someone from the Ge family was with Li Feng.
On the other side, Jiang Yong hurriedly entered a private room.
“Brother Murong, Brother Murong…” Jiang Yong pushed straight in without knocking. But as soon as he entered, he discovered Murong Kang in the midst of an intimate struggle with a hostess.
“Jiang Yong, what do you think you are doing?” Murong Kang roared in fury. Anyone would be upset at being interrupted during such an activity, let alone Murong Kang.
“Brother Murong…” Only then did Jiang Yong realise what he had walked into. His face grew awkward, but he still remembered his purpose. He said gravely, “Brother Murong, Li Feng is here.”
“What? You interrupt my good time just because Li Feng is here…”
Murong Kang flew into a rage, but halfway through his words he reacted. His expression changed. “You said Li Feng has come to Liren Club?”
