Chapter 330: Scheming
A little over half an hour later, Du Fusheng sat in a private room of the bar, drinking his stale wine cup by cup. At that moment, the room's door was suddenly pushed open, and a tall man walked in—it was Shao Jinpeng.
"Brother Shao, you finally made it!"
Seeing Shao Jinpeng, Du Fusheng instantly stood, poured him a glass of wine, and said obsequiously.
"Sit quickly, sit quickly!"
Shao Jinpeng sat down, lifted his glass and took a sip, then leaned back on the sofa behind him, his face curious as he spoke.
"What exactly is going on? Explain in detail—given your status, someone in Jiangcheng actually dares to move against you?"
Du Fusheng hurriedly recounted the whole chain of events again, and finally said, clearly irritated.
"Brother Shao, if it weren't for Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie blocking me, I would have ripped Jiang Feng to shreds. But who the heck is this guy? Since when has Jiangcheng produced such an awesome figure?!"
Shao Jinpeng fell completely silent after listening.
Only after a long while did he slowly speak.
"Little Du, you rarely come to Jiangcheng, so you don't know the situation here. This Jiang Feng isn't an ordinary person— even our Dragon Group's Group Leader Lu, Lu Xiao, is good friends with him."
"What?"
Du Fusheng's complexion changed instantly at the words, and he couldn't help but say.
"Even you, Brother Shao, can't handle him? You're from the Shao family of Jingcheng, an elite of the Dragon Group, so powerful, yet you can't deal with him?"
Even your mother can't beat this guy? Then aren't you just a total loser?
Shao Jinpeng shook his head helplessly at that.
"Don't mention me— even Group Leader Lei, Lei Zhen, had clashed with Jiang Feng before and didn't gain anything. If you didn't suffer a big loss today, you're already lucky."
"What? Even Group Leader Lei was taken down by him?"
Hearing that, Du Fusheng was completely stunned.
He had heard of Lei Zhen's reputation; he's truly a big shot.
A disciple of Lei Wang, one of the founders of the Dragon Group, whose rank is far higher than Shao Jinpeng's, I'd say.
"Even someone like that can't handle Jiang Feng?"
"No wonder Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie obey Jiang Feng so readily; this guy is indeed that formidable!"
Du Fusheng felt a flicker of timidity rise in his heart.
"After all, the other side can even deal with the Dragon Group's leader; even if I have a Provincial Governor for a father, I probably can't do anything to him."
"But if I think about it, if I just cower now, how will I stand in the Provincial Capital later?"
"And that's Shen Junyao, who's probably already been ruined by that guy!"
Revenge for Taking Wife!
"How can I tolerate this?"
Du Fusheng gritted his teeth, looked at Shao Jinpeng and said.
"Brother Shao, is there really no other way? Just let this guy defile us?"
Seeing Du Fusheng's unwillingness, Shao Jinpeng's eyes flashed with calculation, and he pretended to be reluctant.
"Actually there are other ways, and in this case, you, Little Du, can handle this guy yourself!"
"Oh?"
Du Fusheng's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly leaned toward Shao Jinpeng.
"Brother Shao, speak quickly! What should I do? As long as I can vent this vile energy, I'll do anything!"
Shao Jinpeng lifted his glass, took another sip, and then said slowly.
"In a Martial Duel, you're certainly no match for that kid; I can't beat him either. But don't forget, your father is the Governor of Jiangnan Province, the whole Jiangnan provincial administration— isn't it all under his command?"
He looked at Du Fusheng, a sharp glint in his eyes.
"I recall this kid opened a Zhongyi Guan in Jiangcheng..."
At that, Shao Jinpeng's smile grew more sinister, but he just stared at Du Fusheng without speaking.
Du Fusheng was momentarily stunned, then his eyes flashed brightly, instantly grasping Shao Jinpeng's meaning, and he said excitedly.
"I get it! I get it! Brother Shao, rest assured, I'll make sure his Jishi Hall can't stay open!"
If you can't win the Martial Duel, use authority to crush!
His father is the Governor of Jiangnan Province; shutting down a tiny Zhongyi Guan is just a word away, isn't it?
Even if I can't strip the kid of everything, at least I'll avenge my Revenge for Taking Wife!
Shao Jinpeng saw Du Fusheng understand, and nodded approvingly.
"That's right! With a Provincial Governor for a dad, you can't even take down a medical hall? Let's have a drink first— Brother Shao wishes you a victorious start!"
"Cheers!"
Du Fusheng also raised his glass and clinked it with Shao Jinpeng.
"Brother Shao, shall we go somewhere else for fun next?"
Du Fusheng said enthusiastically.
"Little brother, I'll be the host, take you on a proper experience, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
"Alright, I'd rather obey than be polite."
Shao Jinpeng smiled and agreed.
The two exchanged a smile, their eyes flashing with ill intent.
……
Early the next morning, Shen Junyao's apartment.
Shen Junyao slowly opened her eyes, her head splitting with pain.
She looked around blankly, realizing she was lying on her own bedroom's big bed, covered by a familiar quilt.
Where is this? How did I end up Here?
Fragments of last night's Memory surged into the Brain, Du Fusheng's entanglement, and one glass after another of red wine, and finally it seemed Jiang Feng appeared…
Shen Junyao jerked upright, subconsciously brushed their own clothes, found no trace of having been moved, and their heart instantly let out a sigh of relief.
She still thought she had been taken advantage of by Du Fusheng last night, but fortunately nothing happened.
She lifted the Quilt and got out of bed, only then realizing she had no idea how she got home.
Just then, the apartment door opened, Jiang Feng walked in, still holding a breakfast.
"Awake?"
Jiang Feng saw Shen Junyao, and a faint Laughter appeared on his face.
"I saw you sleeping soundly last night, so I didn't wake you. I went out this morning and bought some breakfast; you should eat it quickly."
Shen Junyao looked at Jiang Feng, recalling how Jiang Feng had saved her last night.
"Thank you, Jiang Feng. If it weren't for you last night, I would definitely have been taken advantage of by that Du Fusheng."
"You even say, why would you bother with that kind of person? You were drunk like that yesterday; if I hadn't been to your place before and remembered the password, I truly wouldn't have known how to handle you yesterday."
"Alright, alright, I get it."
Thinking of what happened last night, Shen Junyao felt a wave of fear.
She dared not imagine what would happen if she had truly been taken into Du Fusheng's car yesterday…
At that moment, Jiang Feng's pocket phone Suddenly rang.
Jiang Feng took out the phone, glanced at the incoming display, and saw it was Hua Lao calling.
Just as Jiang Feng answered, he heard Hua Lao's urgent voice.
"Jiang Feng, it's bad! Something huge happened! Early this morning, a group of people came and said our Jishi Hall was engaged in Regulation Violation Business, they're going to shut down our Jishi Hall!"
"What?"
Jiang Feng's complexion instantly darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
