Chapter 168: Duanmu Hongjie's Apology

Jiang Feng looks at Duanmu Hongjie, who is covering his face, his eyes filled with poisonous resentment.

"Young Master Duanmu, do you still want me to apologize to you now?"

Duanmu Hongjie bites his teeth and stares fixedly at Jiang Feng.

He can't swallow his anger inside, but his aunt's words still echo in his ears.

Jian Tui Zhi's slap also burns hot with pain; he dares not be as arrogant as before.

"Mr. Jiang is asking you a question!"

Jian Tui Zhi sees him not answer, his face darkens, he raises his hand and slaps him hard again.

"Snap!"

This slap is heavier than the previous one; Duanmu Hongjie is struck and falls to the ground.

"How dare you not respond to Mr. Jiang!"

Jian Tui Zhi walks to his front, looking down at him from above, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"I warn you again: if you can't satisfy Mr. Jiang today, even the Pavilion Master's pleading will be useless! If you still don't know what's right, I will finish you off right now!"

Jian Tui Zhi's words carry genuine murderous intent; Duanmu Hongjie trembles all over in fear.

He knows that Jian Tui Zhi truly dares to kill him!

His aunt had already made it clear on the phone; to please Jiang Feng, she herself is nothing.

"I… I was wrong!"

Duanmu Hongjie finally can't hold it any longer, lying prone on the ground.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have Provocative Smile you, shouldn't have threatened the Su Family, I beg you, as an adult, have mercy and spare me this time!"

Jiang Feng shakes his head.

"That's it? Your apology, Young Master Duanmu, feels insincere."

Duanmu Hongjie's heart jumps, he quickly looks up at Jiang Feng, then darts a glance at Su Xueyan beside him.

He reacts instantly.

To survive, he can't worry about the Duanmu Family's face.

"Mr. Jiang! I am sincerely apologizing! To show sincerity, the Duanmu Family's investment projects worth hundreds of billions in Jiangcheng are all handed over to the Su Family! All profits go to the Su Family, the Duanmu Family takes not a single cent, and we will fully cooperate with all of Su Family's arrangements!"

"Boom!"

As soon as these words are spoken, the entire Banquet Hall erupts, everyone is stunned dumbfounded.

Projects worth hundreds of billions, given just like that, and not taking a single cent?

This is literally sending mountains of gold and silver into the Su Family's arms!

Jiang Gang widens his eyes, his wine glass almost falls to the ground.

He only then realizes that Su Xueyan's choosing Jiang Feng wasn't a dowry marriage; she was clearly grabbing onto a thigh that even the Duanmu Family can't offend!

No wonder Su Xueyan previously cared little about the project; they don't lack this hundreds‑billion opportunity!

Lei Yan's eyes instantly shine like light bulbs, she rushes to Su Xueyan, grabs her hand, her tone affectionately over the top.

"Xue Yan! My dear sister! We were the best friends in university! Did you forget? Back then we occupied seats together, shared snacks, and complained about elective teachers together; our bond was so iron!"

She completely forgot how she previously mocked Su Xueyan; now her mind is all about hitching onto the Su Family's line to get a share of the project's broth.

"Xue Yan, look how big this project is; the Su Family alone can't handle it, right?"

Lei Yan rubs her hands.

"Our Lei Group has been doing real estate in Jiangcheng for years; connections and resources are ready! Could you give the Lei family a chance to join? Even if just a small part, we would be immensely grateful!"

Several other business classmates also catch on, crowd around Su Xueyan, flattering with many voices.

"Xue Yan, we are old classmates! Back then you helped me with tutoring, I have always remembered that favor!"

"Ms. Su, our company makes building materials; we will definitely be used on the project! Give us a chance, price will be the lowest, quality the best!"

"Xue Yan, as classmates, do us a favor! In the future, whatever you say east, we will never go west!"

Su Xueyan, surrounded in the middle, keeps a polite smile, gently pulls back her hand that Lei Yan had grabbed.

"Thank you all for your support; for the specific arrangement of the project, I still need to discuss with Jiang Feng. Later a dedicated person will handle the follow‑up. If anyone is interested, you can first leave your company information with me; we will evaluate according to procedure."

She neither outright agrees nor directly refuses, giving them face while leaving room.

Jiang Gang also squeezes over.

"Xue Yan, you know the strength of our Jiang Group in Jiangcheng! Whatever support the project needs—funds, venue, connections—we can provide! Please give the Jiang Group a chance; we will fully cooperate!"

Jiang Feng looks at the scene of opportunists before him, feels no ripple in his heart, and simply gives a faint smile to the Duanmu Hongjie on the ground.

"Since Young Master Duanmu is so sincere, I will accept on behalf of the Su Family with a smile. I hope you remember today's lesson; next time you want trouble, first weigh your own weight."

"Won't dare! Never again!"

Duanmu Hongjie hurriedly kowtows, his forehead leaving red imprints.

Jiang Feng waves his hand and says to Jian Tui Zhi.

"Take him away, don't block the view here."

"Yes!"

Jian Tui Zhi immediately nods.

Lei Yan and others still want to circle Su Xueyan to ask about the project.

Jiang Feng glances at Su Xueyan and says softly.

"You first talk with them; I will say a few words to Master Jian."

Su Xueyan nods.

"Alright, you go ahead; there's no problem here."

Jiang Feng no longer pays attention to the crowd, turns and walks toward a corner of the Banquet Hall.

Jian Tui Zhi, seeing this, hurriedly quickened his step and followed.

He walked to the corner, confirmed that no one around could hear, and Jiang Feng only then stopped his Foot, turned his head toward Jian Tui Zhi.

Grandmaster Jian, I am delaying you a few minutes, I want to make a transaction with Yitian Pavilion.

Mr. Jiang, you are being modest; whatever orders you have, just say them, as long as Yitian Pavilion can accomplish it, we will certainly give our all!

Jiang Feng got straight to the point, speaking directly.

I wish to buy a piece of information from Yitian Pavilion.

Jian Tui Zhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered.

Mr. Jiang, what information do you want? As long as Yitian Pavilion has records, we will certainly present them with both hands. Talk about what transaction? Your being able to speak is Yitian Pavilion's honor!

The whereabouts of the great thief Ling Zhaixing! I need to know where she is now, whether she is dead or alive.

Sss—

Upon hearing this, Jian Tui Zhi gnawed his teeth.
