Chapter 232: Li Chengyuan's Second Confidant

"Why are you so careless? You cannot afford any more mistakes tonight, or else you will be losing face for me," Ke Zhenyun cautioned.

"I understand. Don't worry, City Head, I absolutely will not have any more problems tonight," Huang Ying said firmly.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Feng, Lin Wei, and Lin Jingying arrived together at the Tiandi Building Grand Hotel located in the center of Jinling City.

Just as they stepped into the hotel lobby, an atmosphere of luxury and grandeur rushed to meet them.

A figure appeared immediately and approached them rapidly—it was none other than Ke Zhenyun's secretary, Huang Ying.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. I have been waiting for a long time," Huang Ying said.

Before Lin Feng could say anything, another person appeared.

Who else could that person be but Lei Dong!

Furthermore, Lin Feng opened his Dragon Pupil to scan the surroundings and discovered that in this magnificent, clean, and bright lobby, there were actually more than twenty Divine Dragon Guards hidden.

It seems Dragon Soul attaches great importance to tonight's charity gala!

"Mr. Lin, you really came. I knew you wouldn't miss such an important gala," Lei Dong said with a chuckle.

Lin Feng nodded slightly, while Lin Wei said politely, "Hello, Chief Lei."

"Hello, hello. Miss Lin, you are becoming more and more beautiful," Lei Dong said with a chuckle.

Huang Ying urged, "The gala will start in a little over twenty minutes. Time is tight. Mr. Lin, Miss Lin Jingying, please come upstairs with me."

Seeing that Huang Ying did not mention her, Lin Wei asked hurriedly, "Then what about me?"

Seeing Lin Wei, Huang Ying knew this girl was Lin Feng's younger sister, so he said politely, "Miss Lin Wei, you can just sit in the lobby and wait. After all, once the gala starts, your brother and Miss Lin Jingying will come down from upstairs, so you won't be separated for too long."

"Why must we be separated?" Lin Feng asked with a frown.

Huang Ying said with a wry smile, "This is, of course, to prepare a magnificent entrance for you. It is best if you and Miss Lin Jingying appear together. If we bring Miss Lin Wei along, one man and two women is a bit..."

Although Lin Wei felt a little disappointed inside, she said very sensibly, "Brother, you and Sister Lin go upstairs. Don't worry about me; I'll just wait. It won't be long anyway."

"But..." Lin Feng was still somewhat hesitant.

After all, no one could guarantee whether that Demon Tiger would launch a surprise attack. If the Demon Tiger suddenly appeared during this time they were separated, it would be disastrous.

Lei Dong said, "Mr. Lin, you don't need to be afraid. I am here. Could I possibly fail to protect Miss Lin Wei's safety? I know you are worried about that Demon Tiger, but I am also a Martial Venerable Peak expert. Even if I am not the Demon Tiger's opponent, I can at least hold out for a while."

"Besides, I have already arranged dozens of Divine Dragon Guards in every corner of this hotel in advance. They are not to be trifled with."

Lin Feng thought about it and felt that Lei Dong's words indeed made sense, so he said, "Alright then, I will leave my sister to you. You must not let me down, Chief Lei."

"Rest assured, Mr. Lin. If Miss Lin Wei loses even a single hair, I will bring you my head!" Lei Dong said with a resonant, powerful voice.

"That won't be necessary," Lin Feng laughed.

Huang Ying had already said "please" several times and was looking at Lin Feng with eager eyes.

Lin Feng then stopped wasting words and followed Huang Ying upstairs with Lin Jingying.

At the same moment, at a luxurious manor in the suburbs of Binhai City.

The luxuriously decorated lobby was covered with a thick, plush carpet; stepping on it felt like stepping on a bed.

On a sofa large enough to sleep on, a tall and fat man was sitting in a bold, imposing manner. Most of his body was exposed to the air, with only a white bath towel wrapped around his waist.

This man was none other than the richest man in Binhai City, Li Chengyuan!

And this luxurious manor was the paradise Li Chengyuan had tailored for himself!

At this very moment, two women, one older and one younger, were snuggled up to Li Chengyuan's left and right. Their appearances were seven or eight parts similar; it was unclear if they were sisters with a large age gap or mother and daughter.

Moreover, one was massaging Li Chengyuan's shoulders, while the other was pounding his legs.

Li Chengyuan looked content, the expression on his face leisurely and self-satisfied.

Light music drifted through the lobby, and several women draped in light gauze were dancing gracefully in the hall.

They would occasionally shake their chests or lift their long, jade-like legs, as if deliberately showing off their beauty for Li Chengyuan to admire.

Li Chengyuan's heart was greatly stirred, and he could no longer hold back. He pounced over, tackled the lead dancing woman to the ground, and was about to begin a "dragon and phoenix battle."

Yet at this moment, a young person whose gender was indistinguishable ran in from outside.

"Boss, something big has happened!"

Li Chengyuan was furious and roared, "Wang Chen, how dare you ruin my mood!"

Wang Chen said rapidly, "Boss, I have a very important matter to report!"

Li Chengyuan waved his hand, letting all the women serving him in the lobby withdraw, and only then did he finally ask, "What on earth has made you so flustered? Wang Chen, you are a Martial Venerable realm expert; how can you be so panicked and jumpy!"

"Boss, you don't know, that dead woman Lin Jingying actually found a very powerful expert. I was no match for him at all, and I was even injured by him."

"If I hadn't run fast, I might have had to stay in Jinling forever!"

As soon as Wang Chen said this, Li Chengyuan's complexion immediately turned very ugly.

"How could Lin Jingying suddenly find such a powerful expert and even make him her subordinate? That little bitch's luck is really fucking good!" Li Chengyuan said angrily, clenching his fists.

Subsequently, Li Chengyuan asked again, "Wang Chen, you have fought with that person, so do you know what realm of Martial Artist he is?"

"At least a Martial King!" Wang Chen said without hesitation.

"A Martial King... wouldn't that be the same realm as Xie Wei? It seems Xie Wei must go out in person this time!" Li Chengyuan said through gritted teeth.

Li Chengyuan had many subordinates, but only three confidants, and Wang Chen was one of them, ranked third.

The Xie Wei that Li Chengyuan mentioned now was the strongest among the three confidants, and he was already at the Martial King First Layer realm!

However, just as Li Chengyuan finished speaking, a hearty laugh came from upstairs.

A young man in white clothes fluttering about was seen shaking a folding fan as he flew down from upstairs, landing lightly like a feather.

This person was Li Chengyuan's second confidant, Lv Mingjie!

"Boss, why does Brother Xie need to take action himself? Why not let me make the trip," Lv Mingjie said with a face full of smiles.

"You?" Li Chengyuan frowned.

Wang Chen said, "Lv Mingjie, you must not be careless. That guy's strength is terrifyingly strong; I don't think you will be his opponent."
