But as luck would have it, Xu Fei wasn’t the least bit intimidated, especially since the man had mentioned a name that sounded vaguely familiar to him.
“Hold on, who did you just say you were?”
Hearing Xu Fei’s question, Mr. Liu thought his ploy had worked, and his face grew even more smug!
“Hahaha! What, scared now, are you? Too late!”
“I said I’m Liu Mingzhe, didn’t you hear me?”
Now, with this confirmation, Xu Fei felt the man before him deserved to die even more.
The Liu family of East China was a formidable force in the region, and it just so happened that Xu Fei had crossed paths with Liu Mingzhe before.
Back then, Xu Fei had met him in the military. He vaguely recalled that many prominent families liked to send their younger generations there for training.
Most of them, relying on their privileged status, spent their days eating, sleeping, and repeating, their lives unchanging except for the lack of entertainment.
But Liu Mingzhe was different. Once there, he trained harder than anyone else.
Later, Xu Fei learned why. Despite his family’s wealth, this chubby Liu Mingzhe had been rejected by a childhood sweetheart he fancied.
At home, Liu Mingzhe was the type to have bursts of determination but mostly lazed about, wanting to lose weight but never sticking to it.
The new environment gave Liu Mingzhe the perfect conditions to change.
Through his efforts, he indeed began to slim down, becoming far more handsome, and he and Xu Fei developed a decent friendship.
In terms of strength, Xu Fei was naturally far superior to Liu Mingzhe, so when selections came later, Liu Mingzhe, who as a playful child had ruined his eyesight from late-night phone use, was passed over, and their contact faded.
Thinking of this, Xu Fei couldn’t help but chuckle. He pulled out his phone and scrolled through his contacts, finding Liu Mingzhe’s name.
“You’re Liu Mingzhe of the East China Liu family? Then who’s this?”
When the so-called Mr. Liu saw Liu Mingzhe’s name clearly listed in Xu Fei’s contacts, he grew even more panicked.
“How… how is this possible? It must be a coincidence. If you’ve got the guts, call him!”
“Fine! You really won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin. I’ll make sure you die convinced!”
With that, Xu Fei contacted Liu Mingzhe, not through a call but a video chat.
At that moment, Liu Mingzhe had just left the Liu Group’s headquarters. He was about to drive home to rest when he received the video call.
“Who’s this… wait, no way! It’s been years, and it’s Brother Fei!”
Seeing Xu Fei’s name, Liu Mingzhe was thrilled and quickly answered the call.
“Hey, Brother Fei! It’s been years, and you haven’t contacted me. I thought you’d forgotten your old mate!”
Xu Fei couldn’t help but smile at his words.
“Enough with the chatter, kid. I’ve got something serious to talk about. I ran into another ‘Liu Mingzhe’ from the East China Liu family here. Isn’t that a coincidence?”
Xu Fei then turned the camera, bringing the so-called Mr. Liu into view.
Liu Mingzhe, furious, slammed his car door.
“Damn it! Someone’s impersonating me and ran into you, Brother Fei, and it’s this ugly sod of all people!”
“Open your bloody eyes and see where I am right now!”
In his anger, Liu Mingzhe adjusted his phone’s camera angle, revealing the iconic Liu Group headquarters behind him!
The Liu Group was no ordinary family enterprise.
