Chapter 73: An Explosion

August 14, Tuesday.

Wu Guan, who last time blocked Guo Yanru's car and got a kick from Zhao Xiaoyang, was finally released.

In the evening, Wu Guan gathered a group of people at the 'Immortal King Ballroom'.

Watching the little sprites writhing on the dance floor and listening to the pounding music, Wu Guan, who had been locked up for half a month, felt the blood in his body start to boil.

Moreover, the blood in his body seemed to gather downwards.

"Brother, want to book a private room and find a few girls…"

A brother who could read the room leaned close to Wu Guan's ear and asked.

Wu Guan glanced at the time; it was already eight o'clock at night, and he smiled and nodded.

Then Wu Guan entered a private room on the second floor called the 'Qi Tian Hall'.

After the door closed, the private room fell silent at once.

A young man in a leather jacket with short hair walked in.

Seeing him, Wu Guan greeted with a smile, "Wang Yong, come sit down; tonight we'll pull an all‑night party!"

Wang Yong was by Wu Guan's side, acting like a strategist.

After the incident, many matters were smoothed out by Wang Yong's efforts.

He also helped gather information regularly.

Wang Yong sat beside Wu Guan and said calmly, "Brother, the information you wanted about that kid and that girl has been uncovered."

"Who is it?" Wu Guan asked with a smile.

Wang Yong replied, "That person is named Lin Feng, a shareholder of Great Flag Media, holding thirty percent of its shares. He also owns many properties in Yanjing…"

"The beauty is named Guo Yanru, Qingfeng Capital eo; we investigated Qingfeng Capital and found its parent company is overseas, with a nested share‑holding structure. We couldn't dig deeper. A week ago, Guo Yanru went to Xiangjiang."

"The guy who beat you is named Zhao Xiaoyang, a lifelong hoodlum who opened a gym, has some martial skills, and is usually inseparable from Lin Feng…"

After Wu Guan finished listening to Wu Yong's report, he furrowed his brows.

This time the people he offended are very wealthy, and behind them might be a big boss he can't afford to cross.

Even Zhao Xiaoyang isn't someone he can easily provoke.

"Brother, maybe we should drop it?" Wang Yong suggested.

Wu Guan sneered, "As long as I set my eyes on a woman, I never miss. Going to Xiangjiang changes nothing; she'll return sooner or later. First, we'll teach Lin Feng and Zhao Xiaoyang a lesson."

"What kind of lesson?" Wang Yong asked.

Wu Guan gave a cold smile, "Set up an ambush with a few people, stage a trap, cut off their moves. If conditions allow, just kill them outright!"

"Brother, taking a life is hard to handle…" Wang Yong pleaded.

Wu Guan patted Wang Yong's shoulder, "Ten million!"

Wang Yong's eyes flashed, then he smiled and nodded.

At that moment the door opened, and a dozen or so sensually dressed young women streamed in.

Wu Guan thumped Wang Yong, "Tonight we'll have our fun; the ten‑million matter can be handled tomorrow!"

Then three dandy rich heirs who were close to Wu Guan also entered the private room.

When the door closed, the private room and the hall below became two separate worlds.

Below was the noisy mortal world; the second‑floor private room was heaven for Wu Guan and his companions.

After a little over half an hour.

Wu Guan and the others were having a blast when a man wearing glasses suddenly appeared at the door of the 'Qi Tian Hall', kicked the door open, and rushed in.

A minute later, the glasses‑wearing man opened the door, intending to leave.

But he was grabbed and pulled back by someone.

A few minutes later.

"Boom~"

A burst of explosion sounded.

The Immortal King Ballroom shook, and the powerful blast sent chandeliers, speakers and other items crashing down, injuring many.

The pounding music abruptly stopped, and the ballroom descended into chaos.

Within ten minutes, police arrived and immediately sealed off the Immortal King Ballroom.

Twenty‑four hours later.

The doorbell rang.

Qi Yao didn't need to guess who had arrived.

Sure enough, after opening the door, she saw Lin Feng.

"Well... I haven't had steak in ages," Lin Feng said with a wry grin.

Qi Yao stepped aside, indicating 'please come in'.

Inside, Lin Feng voluntarily changed into slippers.

Although it was already nine at night, he knew Qi Yao certainly hadn't slept.

After Lin Feng entered, Qi Yao first opened a bottle of red Alcohol, poured it into a decanter, and placed a glass on the table.

Then she spent another ten‑some minutes preparing two steaks.

Actually she had already had dinner and hadn't planned to eat a midnight snack.

But with Lin Feng's arrival, that changed.

Qi Yao also liked sitting with Lin Feng, enjoying the feeling of dining together.

"I've been swamped lately—sleeping by day, trading stocks by night. I was supposed to work today, but I got so craving I came over to you."

Lin Feng said as he ate the delicious steak.

"US stocks?"

Qi Yao suddenly spoke.

Lin Feng nodded, then with a proud look said: "From the evening of the 6th to last night, seven trading days, guess how much I made?"

Qi Yao didn't make a sound.

Lin Feng then said: "A total of one billion US dollars was invested, using leverage, and now it has multiplied 1.4 times. Apart from commissions and various interests, there is approximately 1.2 billion US dollars of profit."

I plan to stop at the end of the month; after that, just do it once in a while.

Lin Feng then said: "Also, next time I won't need Jack's team; although I've taken precautions here, I can still see that other funds are following my actions."

While Lin Feng was speaking, Qi Yao occasionally lifted her head to glance at him, showing she was listening attentively.

After finishing his own matters, Lin Feng asked Qi Yao, "How have you been lately? What case are you busy with?"

Qi Yao calmly said: "Last night there was an explosion case; many people died."

Having said that, Qi Yao didn't continue.

Because talking about work inevitably brings to mind those incomplete corpses, affecting the appetite.

As long as she doesn't speak, she can control her brain to block all work-related information.

Lin Feng also didn't ask.

Talking about this now is indeed something that spoils the appetite.

Only after finishing the meal did Lin Feng say: "This matter has caused a huge commotion; it's spread everywhere. I'm very curious, tell me about it—I promise not to leak a single word."

Qi Yao nodded and slowly said: "Altogether thirteen people died..."

"Too tragic! I never go to those nightclubs, because they're a mixed bag of fish and dragons—a troublesome place."

After Qi Yao finished speaking, Lin Feng shook his head and sighed.

"You seem particularly concerned about this matter?"

Qi Yao stared into Lin Feng's eyes and suddenly asked.

Lin Feng gave a slight smile: "Anyway, you'll eventually investigate and trace it back to me, so I might as well tell you. Whether you keep it confidential for me is your business. But even if Captain Liu says so, there's no evidence to prosecute me."

Qi Yao wasn't surprised; instead, she looked at Lin Feng with curiosity.
