Chapter 131: Holding a Grudge

Lin Feng, on the contrary, remained expressionless and did not even glance at Zhao Ziyang.

"Chairman Shen, no matter how you look at it, our Zhao Family is a powerful force, and my cousin is the Prince of Northern Suppression enfeoffed by the Sovereign of the Dragon Kingdom. You might as well reconsider." Zhao Ziyang said heavily.

"No need to reconsider. I have no interest in you. As for your cousin, the Prince of Northern Suppression... Heh, I really don't hold him in high regard." Shen Yunxiao said dismissively.

"Since you've put it this way, fine. I'm leaving now. I hope you won't regret this in the future!"

Zhao Ziyang said angrily, put down the gifts, and turned to leave.

Seeing that the situation was lost, Zhao Haoran could only shake his head and sigh, leaving together with Zhao Ziyang.

And no sooner had the Zhao Family people left than Shen Yunxiao called over a staff member and had the gifts Zhao Ziyang prepared thrown directly into the trash can.

"Senior Sister, thank you." Lin Feng said earnestly.

"Don't be so formal with me; you are my Junior Brother, after all."

Shen Yunxiao said with a smile, then raised her slender, jade-like hand to pinch Lin Feng's cheek.

Glancing at Su Mingyue, who was clinging to Lin Feng like a bird to its mate, Shen Yunxiao joked: "Junior Brother, you mustn't forget your Senior Sister just because you have a wife."

"That certainly won't happen."

Lin Feng coughed repeatedly in embarrassment.

The banquet was still ongoing, but the outcome had been decided.

Not long after, Shen Yunxiao publicly announced in front of countless guests that Yunxiao Group would launch a comprehensive cooperation with the Su Family and the Ye Family!

The guests present were all filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred toward the Su Family and the Ye Family.

"It really is like this. Sigh, I knew Chairman Shen would cooperate with the Su Family and the Ye Family."

"Who told Lin Feng and Chairman Shen to be fellow disciples? The Su Family's daughter, Su Mingyue, is Lin Feng's fiancée, and the Ye Family's Ye Qinghan is Lin Feng's close friend. For Lin Feng's sake, Chairman Shen would definitely cooperate with these two families."

"Why doesn't my family have such an outstanding son-in-law?"

"Sigh, people really can't be compared."

The guests in the hall were talking amongst themselves, saying all sorts of things.

Su Mingyue and Ye Qinghan heard it all, of course. Although they didn't show anything unusual on their faces, Su Mingyue felt warm inside.

Ye Qinghan looked at Lin Feng with gratitude and said: "Thank you so much, Lin Feng. You've done our family a huge favor."

"It's only right. After all, we are friends," Lin Feng said with a smile.

The night was already deep.

Zhao Ziyang and Zhao Haoran, however, could not sleep at all.

The events that happened at the banquet were still vivid in their minds.

And although they didn't attend the rest of the banquet, it wasn't difficult for them to gather information, so Zhao Ziyang and Zhao Haoran already knew that Shen Yunxiao had publicly announced at the banquet that Yunxiao Group would cooperate with the Su Family and the Ye Family.

At this moment, Zhao Haoran's heart was bleeding with regret, while Zhao Ziyang was incomparably resentful, his eyes bloodshot.

"It's all that Lin Feng's fault! He ruins our good deeds time and time again!" Zhao Ziyang growled, like a beast roaring.

Zhao Haoran said with deep sorrow: "What's the use of saying that now? We have already missed the opportunity."

"No, we can't just let him go like this. I must get rid of him!" Zhao Ziyang said angrily.

Zhao Haoran's expression changed slightly, but he did not object, only saying: "Then you must find someone reliable to ensure no evidence is left behind."

"Dad, don't worry. I guarantee I'll do it beautifully, without leaving a single clue!" Zhao Ziyang said with certainty.

A dark alley in Jiangbei City.

A streetwalker with garish makeup was being pressed against a wall and molested by a burly, powerful man.

Her face was full of pain, her voice was hoarse, and she was resisting fiercely, but her resistance was like a joke in front of this strong man.

"Let... let me go... I can't take it anymore... I'm not doing business with you..."

"You've already taken the money; you can't regret it now," the man sneered.

"I... I'll give the money back to you, won't that do?... Please, let me go... I really can't take it anymore..."

The woman said, crying, and the next moment her neck was suddenly gripped by the man.

Crack!

The streetwalker's head slumped down, her pupils dilated; she was clearly dead!

But the man did not stop; he continued to vent his lust on the streetwalker—no, on her corpse!

It is unknown how much time passed before he finally finished. The man tossed the streetwalker behind a trash can on the side of the road like garbage and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the corpse.

Suddenly, a harsh cell phone ringtone blared.

The man took out his phone, glanced at it, and answered the call: "Young Master Zhao, what do you want with me? Is there some dog who doesn't know any better that has provoked you again?"

"Help me kill someone. Name your price!" Zhao Ziyang's sinister voice came from the phone.

"Then tell me first who that person is, what they look like, and what their strength is," the man said.

Zhao Ziyang said coldly: "Does the notorious Baolong have times when he is afraid?"

"This is called being cautious," the man codenamed Baolong corrected.

Only then did Zhao Ziyang say: "The person I want you to kill is named Lin Feng, the fiancé of the Su Family's daughter, Su Mingyue. I'll send you his photo in a moment. As for his strength... I'm not too sure, but it definitely can't be that high!"

"A live-in son-in-law of the Su Family? This is a bit tricky," Baolong said meaningfully.

"Are you afraid to take this job?" Zhao Ziyang asked.

"I mean, the price will have to go up."

Baolong chuckled, sticking out his tongue to lick his cracked lips, his face full of ferocity!

Just one night later, the news that Yunxiao Group was about to launch a comprehensive cooperation with the Su Family and the Ye Family blew through the entire Jiangbei City like a gale.

Consequently, the stock prices of the Su Family and the Ye Family soared, and the situation was looking excellent.

Listening to the secretary's report over the phone, Su Mingyue couldn't stop smiling. After hanging up, she immediately shared the good news with her father, Su Zhenhe.

Su Zhenhe was naturally overjoyed, his face glowing as he said: "Good, very good! This is all Lin Feng's credit. If it weren't for him, Yunxiao Group would likely not have looked favorably upon our Su Family and would not have cooperated with our family."

"It is indeed Lin Feng's credit; he has helped us too much," Su Mingyue said with a look of happiness on her face.

Su Zhenhe immediately said, "Then don't go to the company today. I will look after things there; you should go and keep Lin Feng company instead. Although you are engaged, an engagement is not the same as marriage after all. As long as the two of you haven't truly become husband and wife, there is always the possibility of an accident happening."

"Dad, are you worried that another woman will poach him and run off with Lin Feng?" Su Mingyue found it very amusing.

Su Zhenhe, however, said with complete seriousness, "Aren't you worried? That Ye Qinghan has a very good relationship with Lin Feng. Do you dare say she has no designs on Lin Feng at all?"
