Li Feng could not figure out Ying Suyan’s purpose. The only thing he could be certain of was that her sudden decision to end their deal was probably not as simple as her feeling confident and unafraid.
Could Ying Suyan be planning to target him?
That was not impossible. After all, the matter involving Boss Du and Boss Lu was something Ying Suyan had aimed at Fu Yanxiong, or even the entire Fu family. It very likely involved a major plan of Ying Suyan’s, or rather the Ying family. Since he, Li Feng, knew about the connection between Boss Du and the others and Ying Suyan, it would be strange if she let him off easily.
Although last time he had exchanged a condition for promising Ying Suyan to keep silent, it was, after all, only a verbal agreement. It was understandable that Ying Suyan did not trust him. With her personality, she would never sit and wait for trouble.
Her announcement today that she was ending the deal meant she had already thought of a solution. He just did not know what it was.
However, after thinking about it, Li Feng could not come up with a reason, so he stopped dwelling on it. Overthinking such matters was useless anyway. He was not Ying Suyan and could not possibly know what was in her mind.
Moreover, right now Ying Suyan would not want to lose face completely. Before the King of Fighters competition ended, she would not target him. Although threatening her this way was somewhat despicable, he currently had no energy to deal with her. This was the only method he could think of.
If Ying Suyan still targeted him regardless of everything, he would not hold back either.
With this thought, Li Feng put all matters concerning Ying Suyan aside. He came to Hu Yuanyuan’s bedside and sat down. While using his divine sense to check her condition, he asked, “Yuanyuan, how do you feel your body is now?”
“I am almost fully recovered. I can go back to work this afternoon.” Hu Yuanyuan replied.
“Work? You absolutely cannot go to work within the next week.” Li Feng shook his head.
“Why?” Hu Yuanyuan looked at him in confusion.
“Because I have a plan.” Li Feng leaned close to Hu Yuanyuan’s ear and softly explained his plan.
“Li Feng, this is too audacious. You actually dare to do this. Are you not afraid something unexpected might happen?” Hu Yuanyuan was startled after hearing his plan.
“One cannot catch the wolf cub without risking the child. If it succeeds, not only can we net all those who harmed me in one go, but it will also allow our Fengyuan Group to thoroughly become a world-class company.” A glint flashed in Li Feng’s eyes.
“But what if it fails?” Hu Yuanyuan asked worriedly.
“If it fails, we start over.” Li Feng said without hesitation. Although his plan was good, he also knew that any plan could have unforeseen issues. If something unexpected occurred, he would decisively sacrifice the pawn to save the king and begin anew. He was still young and had plenty of time to start over.
“Every plan carries risk. Back when Qin Feng was scheming against us, he probably never imagined we would have a chance to turn defeat into victory. If we had not gone all in that time, there would be no Fengyuan Group today.” Li Feng said gravely.
Hu Yuanyuan nodded. If things had developed step by step, growing a small investment company into the current Fengyuan Group would have been impossible without ten years.
“Moreover, this time I want to make an example of someone and carve out a bloody path in Tianhai City. As long as this plan succeeds, our position in Tianhai City will be secure. Even the four great families of Tianhai City will not dare touch us.” Li Feng said gravely.
“It is just a pity that my strength is too weak. I cannot fight alongside you.” Hu Yuanyuan sighed. With her current strength, she could not help Li Feng at all. This was what troubled her more and more. As Li Feng’s influence grew, she felt the gap between them widening.
“That is why you need to cultivate diligently. The company is only there to provide funds for cultivation. In future, you cannot spend too much time on company matters. Raising your own strength is what matters most. The Xiantian realm grants two hundred years of lifespan, a full century more than ordinary people. Once you reach the Xiantian realm, you can start as many companies as you wish.”
What Li Feng worried about most was Hu Yuanyuan not focusing her main energy on cultivation. She had already started cultivating late. If she missed these next few years as well, breaking through to the Xiantian realm in future would be very difficult. “Look at Ge Feng. He cultivates all day long, yet he controls two companies, and they are no smaller than Fengyuan Group.”
“Really?” Hu Yuanyuan looked incredulous. How could she not know Ge Feng’s situation? She was very familiar with Ge Feng and Ge Ying from their long time at Tianya Pavilion. She had never imagined Ge Feng controlled two companies.
“If you do not believe me, you can ask Ge Feng or Ge Ying yourself.” Li Feng said.
Hu Yuanyuan fell silent.
She understood the benefits of cultivation, but her mindset had not fully shifted yet. After all, she had not been cultivating as a martial artist for very long.
However, what Li Feng said made sense. Cultivation meant strength and longevity. Whether the Xiantian realm truly granted two hundred years as he claimed, she did not know, but with strength, she could truly fight alongside him.
Last time during the attack, if her strength had not been insufficient, the losses would not have been so great.
Hu Yuanyuan thought of Ge Ying. Ge Ying was not yet twenty, yet her strength was already so formidable. If she herself had Ge Ying’s strength, Li Feng would not need to worry about her now.
Moreover, the Snow Jade Art she cultivated required reaching the Xiantian realm before she and Li Feng could become true husband and wife. If she did not cultivate diligently, by the time she grew old and lost her beauty, would Li Feng still be interested in her?
At this thought, anxiety rose in Hu Yuanyuan’s heart.
“Yuanyuan, just rest and cultivate properly here this week.” Li Feng had no idea of Hu Yuanyuan’s complicated thoughts. After chatting with her a while longer, he left several bottles of foundation-solidifying liquid and departed the ward.
After leaving the ward, Li Feng headed towards the one where Jin Xiaoya was staying, intending to find Jin Songyang.
He did not know if Jin Songyang was currently in Jin Xiaoya’s ward, but even if he was not, he could locate him through Jin Xiaoya.
Fortunately, when Li Feng arrived outside Jin Xiaoya’s ward, he happened to see Jin Songyang emerging from it.
“Young Master Feng?” Jin Songyang was startled upon seeing Li Feng and asked, “Young Master Feng, are you here to see me?”
“Yes. Young Master Jin, do you have time? There is something I would like to discuss with you.” Li Feng looked at Jin Songyang, feeling a strange sensation in his heart. He had, after all, just forcibly kissed Jin Songyang’s fiancée. Now seeing Jin Songyang, it almost felt as if his head had sprouted a lush green hat.
“Very well.” Jin Songyang nodded and led Li Feng to the neighbouring rest room.
Meanwhile, as soon as Ying Suyan left the hospital, an old woman approached her. “Eldest Miss.”
“Aunt Fang, let us return first before talking.” Ying Suyan said to the old woman with an unpleasant expression, then got into her car with a sombre face.
Aunt Fang was taken aback. Why did the eldest miss look so upset? Had something happened? However, she did not hesitate and got into the car on the other side.
The car soon left the hospital and arrived at a villa in a residential district.
As soon as they entered the villa’s hall, Ying Suyan said to Aunt Fang, “Aunt Fang, immediately cancel all plans targeting Li Feng.”
“Cancel? Eldest Miss, why is that?” Aunt Fang was stunned.
“No reason. Just cancel them.” Ying Suyan replied.
“Eldest Miss, the plan has already begun. Would it not be a pity to cancel now?” Aunt Fang looked at Ying Suyan and asked, “Eldest Miss, has something happened?”
“Before the King of Fighters competition ends, we must not have any plans targeting Li Feng.” Ying Suyan said coldly. Thinking of the surveillance in Li Feng’s hands, she felt utterly helpless. This time, it was not for the Ying family, but for herself. Otherwise, she, Ying Suyan, would lose all face.
She did not doubt whether Li Feng would really hand the footage to Jin Songyang. In her eyes now, Li Feng was capable of anything.
“But Eldest Miss, why? Li Feng is currently almost in a desperate situation. We only need to add a little fuel, and we can eliminate him.” Aunt Fang looked puzzled. In her view, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Rather than leaving Li Feng as a threat, it would be better to seize the chance to remove him. Only by eliminating Li Feng could their plan regarding Fu Yanxiong proceed without risk.
What Aunt Fang could not understand was why Ying Suyan, who had been perfectly fine, suddenly changed her mind.
“Aunt Fang, this time it is for my own sake.” Ying Suyan said helplessly.
“Eldest Miss, this…” Aunt Fang looked at Ying Suyan in confusion. She had never seen the eldest miss like this before. Had something truly happened? The eldest miss had gone to visit Hu Yuanyuan today. Could it be related to Li Feng or Hu Yuanyuan?
“Aunt Fang, I cannot tell you the reason yet. You will know later.” Ying Suyan did not mention what had happened in the rest room today. Although Aunt Fang had watched her grow up and was her trusted confidante, she simply could not bring herself to speak of today’s events.
“Eldest Miss, if we abandon the plan, how do we explain it to the other side?” Aunt Fang did not press further. From Ying Suyan’s expression, something major must have occurred. However, she knew Ying Suyan’s personality. If the eldest miss did not wish to speak, no amount of questioning would make her.
But this plan targeting Li Feng was not being carried out by their side alone. If they wanted to stop, the other side would not agree.
“The other side?” Ying Suyan thought for a moment, then said, “Aunt Fang, just tell them that if they want to deal with Li Feng, they should wait until after the King of Fighters competition. I am not interested right now.”
“Eldest Miss, what if they object?” Aunt Fang asked.
“Then sever contact with them.” Ying Suyan said without hesitation.
“Understood.” Aunt Fang nodded and left the hall.
“Li Feng, just you wait. Although you have escaped this time, I will not let you off.” A cold gleam flashed in Ying Suyan’s eyes.
