The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 974 [Night Visit to the Mysterious Manor]
Upon hearing this news, his mind went completely blank.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Cold sweat poured down continuously. He never imagined that he originally just wanted to deal with Ye Chenfeng, but he didn’t know that the person next to him was the richest man.
Since the Xu Family’s main business is in jewelry and antiques, they are very familiar with Li Qiuming.
Because the Li Family almost controls the jewelry market of the Divine Land, when he heard him say that seventy percent of the Xu Family’s channels would be cut off, he believed it without a doubt.
If it were other families, it wouldn’t matter if they weren’t afraid of Li Qiuming. After all, even a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.
But the Xu Family is different. If you peel away the channels or connections of the Xu Family’s business, ultimately the vast network of relationships points to one person: Li Qiuming.
Or you could say that if Li Qiuming sneezes, it might affect the business channels of the Xu Family, which would be fatal for the Xu Family.
Trouble has come!
The two hands holding the camera were trembling nonstop, now he even had a death wish, let alone filming anything.
...
In the end, Ye Chenfeng and Li Qiuming left.
Although he didn’t know what would happen next, there was one thing Ye Chenfeng was sure about: From now on, this restaurant would belong to the Li Family.
In a high-end club, Xu Hanwen was still waiting.
"How did it go? As you said earlier, the plan went particularly smoothly, and that kid Ye was going to be utterly embarrassed." Xu Hanwen couldn’t help but smile when he saw the person he’d sent out return.
However, the person Xu Hanwen had sent wore a gloomy look, as if something significant had happened.
The excitement he had on the phone with Xu Hanwen earlier had vanished entirely.
"What happened?"
Xu Hanwen’s heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that something might have gone wrong. He couldn’t help but ask.
The man slowly raised his head, his eyes empty, trembling as he said, "Young Master Xu, this time we’ve provoked a big shot!"
After hearing that, Xu Hanwen felt relieved instead and sneered: "You’re talking about that kid Ye? Just because he has a good relationship with Lan Yuesheng, it doesn’t make him a big shot!"
The person shook his head: "It’s not about that kid Ye; it’s someone else."
Xu Hanwen became interested and couldn’t help but smile: "Oh? Someone else? Come on, tell me what kind of status he has? What kind of big shot is he?"
"He’s Li Qiuming, the richest man in Macau! I never thought the person dining with that kid Ye was him!"
"Boom!"
Instantly, Xu Hanwen felt like he was hit with a sledgehammer, his mind buzzing.
He shuddered all over and unsurely asked, "What? Say it again, who is it?"
"Young Master Xu, it’s Li Qiuming..."
The person recounted the events in detail to Xu Hanwen.
After hearing it all, Xu Hanwen plopped down on the sofa, his face pale and devoid of any color.
"Young Master Xu, it’s my fault for this matter, I really didn’t expect that the one beside that kid Ye was Li Qiuming."
Xu Hanwen said nothing, his eyes hollow, or rather, filled with despair.
The day of the wine party, the appearances of Lan Yuesheng and Hu Lan made him pay attention to Ye Chenfeng, but then he turned and thought, having connections with people like Lan Yuesheng wasn’t really significant.
But after hearing the news today that Ye Chenfeng had dinner with the richest man, he realized that Ye Chenfeng was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke, that his background and status were beyond his means.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
A brief, sharp ring sounded on his phone. It rang for a long time before Xu Hanwen numbly answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, a piercing roar came from the other end. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
It was Xu Hanwen’s father, Xu Lifeng. Facing his father Xu Lifeng’s call, Xu Hanwen did not say a single word.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Hanwen’s face was pale, frighteningly so.
Because his father instructed him not to provoke Ye Chenfeng, as even Li Qiuming couldn’t afford to offend him.
Xu Lifeng told him that this disgraceful matter ended here, and he himself had the nerve to beg Li Qiuming and the others to not pursue it.
A sense of defeat!
A deep sense of defeat!
Such a sense of defeat was something Xu Hanwen had never experienced even among the Eight Great Families, realizing that he was just a petty clown in front of others.
The Xu Family, which he thought was mighty, might just be an ant that could be crushed in a second by someone like them.
At this moment, Xu Hanwen’s phone rang once more, it was a call from the celebrity Lin Jiaojiao.
"Hello, anything?" Xu Hanwen asked weakly.
"Young Master Xu, are you free tonight? Let’s meet at the usual place." Lin Jiaojiao’s baby voice echoed through the phone.
Lin Jiaojiao was the type who was fun without clinging. She was smart enough to know what to do, and wouldn’t bother him usually.
Xu Hanwen outright refused: "Forget it, I don’t want to go tonight."
Hearing the tone in Xu Hanwen’s voice, Lin Jiaojiao immediately asked: "Young Master Xu, you sound off. Is it a romantic setback? Don’t worry, Miss Qiu is temporarily blinded. When she comes to her senses, she’ll fall into your arms. That guy is just a loser aiming for swan meat? That nobody will realize the gap with you sooner or later."
If today’s incident hadn’t happened, hearing Lin Jiaojiao’s comfort might have lifted Xu Hanwen’s spirits a bit.
But today was different, he genuinely felt the gap between him and Ye Chenfeng.
This gap was like a chasm, and he was the out-of-his-league nobody in front of Ye Chenfeng.
Thinking this, Xu Hanwen felt disgust for Lin Jiaojiao.
Xu Hanwen sneered: Lin Jiaojiao, when you find out his identity one day, you won’t even get a chance to suck up to him.
...
The events of tonight had almost no impact on Ye Chenfeng, and he believed that with Li Qiuming stepping in, clowns like Xu Hanwen would probably stay quiet for a while.
When he returned to the villa, Chu Qingxue and Ouyang Qingcheng were already there.
As for Ouyang Qingcheng, she hadn’t shown her true colors yet. To be honest, Ye Chenfeng was a little anxious, but he imagined she was more anxious than him.
The key is Ye Chenfeng didn’t know what exactly she was up to. Even if he knew a clue, he could reveal a flaw to lure her into action early.
In the dead of night, Ye Chenfeng left the villa.
Little did he know, not long after he left, a figure appeared outside the villa.
This was a secluded manor area, and Ye Chenfeng quietly arrived here.
It was very remote; if it weren’t for his capable subordinates, he wouldn’t have been able to find this place.
His men discovered that Xiaolong lived here. According to information, Xiaolong had inseparable ties with the Bai Family and was now in the same school as Bai Yue’er.
"You all step back, I’ll go in alone!"
