Chapter 296: Numb, Truly Numb!

Ma Jian hunched his back, his head almost lowered to his chest.

At this moment he was trembling slightly all over; there was no trace of the reckless demeanor he had just moments ago.

This scene left everyone in the Banquet Hall dumbfounded.

Song Zhijun slumped on the ground, his limbs cold, with only one thought in his mind.

It's over, completely over! Jiang Feng turned out to be a big figure that even Young Master Ma must kneel and pay respects to!

Now I can't even say whether the hotel can keep me; whether I can leave Jiangcheng alive is a question!

And the most stunned of all is Zhao Xiong.

He covered his face; the red‑swollen half of his face burned with pain, but that pain was nothing compared to the shock in his heart.

He stared blankly at Ma Jian, then glanced at the calmly‑faced Jiang Feng, and finally couldn't hold back his words.

"Young Master Ma... you... did you mistake the person?"

"He's just the Su Family's grandson‑in‑law, a doctor who runs a broken Medical Hall!"

He pointed at Jiang Feng, his tone still carrying a hint of lingering resentment.

"He doesn't deserve to be treated with such respect by you!"

In his view, even if Jiang Feng has some skill, he's just a lucky country boy.

How could he make a big figure like Ma Jian kneel and pay respects?

It must be that Ma Jian mistook the person!

"Mistook the person?"

Ma Jian, hearing Zhao Xiong's words, trembled with anger, wishing he could beat this clueless fool to death on the spot!

How could he possibly mistake Jiang Feng?

This person is his lifelong nightmare!

Earlier, at the top‑tier auction in Sheng Cheng Yitian Ge, he impulsively got into a conflict with Jiang Feng.

What was the result?

Yitian Pavilion directly threatened to cancel the Ma Family's membership!

And he himself had to spend five hundred million just to barely quell Jiang Feng's fury and save his life.

From start to finish, Jiang Feng merely said a few calm words and easily decided the fate of the entire Ma Family!

After that, he was almost beaten to death by his father and grandfather working together!

If it weren't because he is the most favored junior of this generation in the Ma Family, his qualification as Heir of Ma Family would likely have been revoked!

Since then, Jiang Feng's image has been deeply etched in his mind!

Someone like that, how could he possibly mistake him?

"You fool! You've blinded your dog eyes!"

Ma Jian could no longer hold back; he lifted his foot and kicked Zhao Xiong's chest hard!

"Bang!"

Zhao Xiong was kicked so hard he flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, grimacing in pain, unable to get up for a long while.

But Ma Jian was still unsatisfied; he rushed forward, grabbed Zhao Xiong's collar, and with both hands slapped him repeatedly, slap—slap—delivering several resounding slaps.

"You can't even recognize Mount Tai! You provoked Master Jiang! You dragged me into this!"

Each slap was full‑strength, and Zhao Xiong's face instantly became terribly swollen and red.

Later, Zhao Xiong's mouth was full of blood, his eyes filled with terror, yet he couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

After Ma Jian had struck enough, he finally released Zhao Xiong, letting him collapse on the ground like a puddle of sludge.

Then he turned around, approached Jiang Feng again, and with a thud knelt on the ground.

"Mr. Jiang... I really don't know this fool at all!"

Ma Jian lifted his head, his face full of flattery.

"At first we supported the Zhao Family only because our Ma Family wanted an inconspicuous spokesperson in Jiangcheng; I truly didn't know he'd provoke you! I beg you, Your Excellency, be magnanimous, don't argue with me, and don't take your anger out on our Ma Family!"

He said this while repeatedly kowtowing, his forehead soon turning bright red.

Jiang Feng watched this scene, his face showing no ripple, only a faint smile.

"Young Master Ma, right?"

"Just now Zhao Xiong said my Hundred Billion Project was just for show; what do you think?"

Jiang Feng's gaze fell on Ma Jian, his tone revealing no discernible joy or anger.

"Bullshit! It's literally bullshit! The kind of foul fart you can actually smell!"

Ma Jian, hearing that, immediately shook his head repeatedly, like a rattle.

"Mr. Jiang, don't listen to this fool's nonsense! What does he know? The Hundred Billion Project is just a standard for you! Not to mention the Hundred Billion, even a Thousand Billion Project, as long as you speak, our Ma Family will absolutely support!"

He paused, fearing Jiang Feng might not believe him, and immediately pounded his chest to guarantee.

"We Ma Family have invested in this Hundred Billion Project! Mr. Jiang, whatever project you want, just say a word, our Ma Family will fully cooperate, no second thoughts!"

"Wow!"

Ma Jian's words, like thunder on flat ground, instantly exploded throughout the Banquet Hall!

Everyone was petrified on the spot, their faces full of disbelief.

Hundred Billion Project, invest just by saying it?

And it's unconditional support?

How scared is the Ma Family of Jiang Feng? Are they really willing to pour Hundred Billion funds for him without counting the cost?

Song Zhijun lay on the ground, the regret in his heart turning green, wishing he could crawl into a crack in the earth.

He never could have imagined that the deity he offended was such a great god!

Zhao Xiong collapsed on the ground, listening to Ma Jian's words, and was utterly despaired.

He knew that not only he was ruined, the entire Zhao Family was completely finished. The Ma Family, to please Jiang Feng, would definitely be the first to abandon the Zhao Family, and might even help Jiang Feng deal with the Zhao Family!

Jiang Feng looked at Ma Jian's respectful demeanor and lightly nodded.

"Not forcing you, right? This is a whole hundred‑billion project…"

"Not forcing, not forcing! I listen to Mr. Jiang!"

Ma Jian hurriedly nodded, daring not to offer any slightest rebuttal.

That posture, even if one said Jiang Feng was his biological father, probably no one would doubt it.

At that moment, another arrogant voice rang out from the doorway of the Banquet Hall.

"Ma Jian, where the hell did you go? Didn't they say there's fun to see around Jiangcheng? Why are you missing!"

The crowd followed the voice and saw a handsome young man in a custom suit, tall and dashing, striding in with an arrogant gait.

He had both hands in his pockets, his eyes full of unruly defiance, with four black‑clad bodyguards behind him, exuding a strong aura.

Li Kun saw the young man, and his complexion instantly grew even paler.

"This… this is Eldest Son Duanmu Hongjie of the Duanmu Family in the Provincial Capital! How did he also come?"

The Duanmu Family, like the Ma Family, is one of the Provincial Capital Nine Great Families, powerful, and Duanmu Hongjie is famously arrogant and overbearing in the Provincial Capital, and no one dares to provoke him!

And Duanmu Hongjie, seeing Ma Jian actually kneeling there, suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Haha, Ma Jian… did you drink too much? Aren't you usually pretty wild? Why did you kneel…"

At that moment, Duanmu Hongjie saw Jiang Feng smiling at him from not far away.

Thump!

That familiar sense of dread spread again, and this fearless Young Master Duanmu, right before everyone present, plummeted with a thud and knelt before Jiang Feng.

"Jiang… Jiang Ge! I'm not here to cause trouble…"

Boom!

With that, every big shot present in Jiangcheng was stunned.

Destroy it, quickly!

That bastard Jiang Feng, how many hidden cards does he still have that they don't know!
