Chapter Thirteen: Xu Banxia’s Captivating Charm
In an instant, a dozen or so thugs immediately grabbed bottles and charged at Qin Feng like wolves and tigers, their faces fierce and menacing!
“They’re fighting! This is bad, let’s get out of here quickly!”
The wealthy onlookers, terrified by the scene, scrambled to hide in the corners. At the same time, they felt pity for Qin Feng. Publicly exposing such a disgrace was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Tiger Lord; surely this would not end well for him!
Xu Banxia’s face paled as well. Without a doubt, she could guess that Qin Feng had come for her, and she didn’t want to see him in mortal danger.
The next moment, she hurriedly pleaded, “Tiger Lord, Qin Feng is young and hot-headed. He said things he shouldn’t have… please spare him! I apologize on his behalf.”
“Hmph!”
The Tiger Lord blew on his whiskers, glaring fiercely, grinding his teeth, “Miss Xu, this is none of your concern! I don’t like this brat. Today, he must die!”
His words were decisive, his murderous intent clear.
Xu Banxia was shocked and desperate.
This was the end…
Just as she was at a loss, a fierce battle erupted on the spot.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Explosions rang out with deafening shouts of war!
Terrified, Xu Banxia shut her eyes, too afraid to look at Qin Feng’s “miserable” state.
But to everyone’s surprise—
Qin Feng showed no fear at all. Charging forward, his fists struck like heavy iron hammers.
In the blink of an eye, one Tiger Lord’s thug after another was sent flying, crashing to the ground like cannonballs!
They let out pitiful screams: “Ahhhh…”
What was going on?!
The Tiger Lord was greatly shocked at the scene.
Everyone else stood dumbfounded.
At the same time, hearing the cries, Xu Banxia slowly opened her eyes and saw Qin Feng standing tall and proud.
All the Tiger Lord’s thugs lay groaning beneath his feet.
Xu Banxia was utterly astonished.
She couldn’t understand how Qin Feng had done it—it was beyond belief!
Qin Feng stared at the Tiger Lord with a playful tone, “Are all your men just a bunch of clumsy fools?”
“You punk, don’t get arrogant!”
“I want to see if your fists are faster or my bullets are!”
Suddenly, the Tiger Lord turned ruthless.
He unexpectedly pulled a gun from his pocket, the dark barrel aimed straight at Qin Feng’s forehead.
Cold-blooded and merciless, he fired!
Bang!
A fiery spark burst from the muzzle, the bullet racing toward Qin Feng!
Yet—
With lightning speed, Qin Feng used his fingers to catch the bullet!
The bullet’s tip still smoked hotly!
“Ah?!”
The Tiger Lord’s face drained of color.
Catching a bullet barehanded… how did this young man do it!?
Before he could even react, Qin Feng’s five fingers pinched the air, his internal energy forming an invisible hand.
In an instant, he clutched the Tiger Lord’s throat!
“Speak. How do you want to die?” Qin Feng’s tone was calm, yet he held the Tiger Lord’s life and death in his grasp with ease.
“Ah!!”
The Tiger Lord struggled desperately, but there was no escape.
Choking, his face turned a dark purplish-red.
Fear overwhelmed him.
Having roamed the underworld for years, he had encountered many masters—but this young man’s power was unfathomable, truly a prodigy!
Qin Feng glanced at him coldly and repeated, “Speak. How do you want to die?”
In that moment, the entire place fell silent.
Faced with death, the Tiger Lord trembled, every cell in his body filled with terror.
He stammered, “I, Li Yuanhu, was blind not to recognize greatness. Please spare my life. From now on, I will serve you like a loyal ox and horse…”
His groveling astonished all present.
The formidable underworld boss Tiger Lord had a day when he bowed to someone?!
Everyone looked at Qin Feng, whose expression remained calm throughout.
Who was this young man, truly?
Xu Banxia opened her mouth wide in shock.
She gazed at Qin Feng’s imposing figure, feeling an inexplicable grandeur.
It was unfamiliar.
So different from the ordinary.
“Oh?”
Qin Feng showed no emotion. “Then what about your engagement to Director Xu…”
The Tiger Lord was no fool.
Having already noticed the relationship between Qin Feng and Xu Banxia, he hurriedly said, “I was presumptuous… Since Miss Xu is the woman Qin Feng desires, how dare I covet her?”
“The engagement is naturally null and void!”
Hearing this, Xu Banxia blushed.
She looked at Qin Feng with gratitude, mixed with a complex and vague emotion.
“You’re sensible,” Qin Feng said, casually tossing Li Yuanhu to the ground.
The latter gasped for breath, pale with the shock of narrowly escaping death.
Qin Feng then took Xu Banxia’s hand, smiling faintly.
“What are you waiting for?”
“The matter is settled. Let’s go.”
Realizing this, Xu Banxia instinctively followed him.
Soon, the two left the Phoenix Hotel.
“Qin Feng, when did you learn these skills?” Xu Banxia couldn’t help but ask.
“What?” Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and teased, “I’ve learned quite a few things overseas. Don’t tell me you’re grateful enough to offer yourself to me?”
“Get out of here! I never said I’d marry you.”
Xu Banxia shook off his hand, blushing, and got back into the car.
Her pout was oddly charming.
Before leaving, she looked out the window, her expression complicated.
“But…”
“Thank you for what you did regarding the Tiger Lord.”
With that, she left.
Qin Feng watched the departing BMW, stroking his chin.
“Huh?”
“When this she-devil isn’t angry, she’s actually quite pretty.”
He shook his head and left as well.
…
Elsewhere,
At Sun Corporation.
Angry voices echoed outside the corridor.
They came from Han Long and Xu Lianzhi.
“Damn it!”
“That bitch dared to humiliate us!”
“Forget it! Since she won’t show us respect, it’s not worth the trouble. Sun Corporation and Song Corporation are arch-rivals anyway; we can just beg Sun Zihang for help!”
Han Long and Xu Lianzhi gritted their teeth in fury.
Just then, a secretary approached.
“Gentlemen!”
“President Sun requests to see you!”
Han Long and Xu Lianzhi quickly composed themselves, carrying gifts, and entered.
Inside, by the floor-to-ceiling window, sat a proud-looking young man.
Dressed in a designer suit, wearing a Patek Philippe watch, he radiated sharp charisma.
This was Sun Zihang!
“Ah, President Sun!”
“Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to see us. We’re here seeking cooperation!”
Han Long and Xu Lianzhi smiled obsequiously.
“Cooperation?”
Sun Zihang raised an eyebrow. “But I heard you were trying to cooperate with the Song family?”
“Ah, well…”
Han Long’s face turned awkward.
Xu Lianzhi angrily said, “President Sun, don’t mention it… Song Yuting, that bitch, not only refused to cooperate but humiliated us and had security throw us out!”
Her tone left no doubt about her anger.
“Oh?”
Sun Zihang chuckled, his eyes gleaming with cunning thoughts.
Suddenly, he said, “Cooperation is possible, but you have to show sincerity!”
“Sincerity?” Han Long asked eagerly. “What do you want, President Sun?”
“Simple.”
Sun Zihang’s eyes flashed with malice. “Since you offended Song Yuting, use apologizing as an excuse to lure her out.”
“Then, find a way to drug her…”
What!?
Han Long and Xu Lianzhi were stunned.
“President Sun, do you… have your eye on Song Yuting?”
“Exactly!”
Sun Zihang did not hide it, boasting, “I desire not only her but the entire Song family! That woman also offended me and slapped me!”
“I must settle the score!”
“Right now, I’m giving you a chance. If you succeed, cooperation will be negotiable!”
After some hesitation, Han Long and Xu Lianzhi said, “President Sun, rest assured, we’ll handle it!”
Though Song Yuting was not easy to deal with, if they could secure Sun Zihang’s backing, it was worth the risk.
After all, Sun Corporation’s strength and scale far surpassed Song Corporation.
With Sun Zihang as their patron, they had nothing to fear from Song Yuting’s retaliation!
Besides, it would be sweet revenge.
Having made up their minds, Han Long and Xu Lianzhi respectfully took their leave.
“Hmph.”
Sun Zihang leaned back in his chair, a wicked smile crossing his lips.
“Song Yuting, you were lucky last time to escape.”
“This time, you won’t be so fortunate!”
…
After parting with Xu Banxia, Qin Feng took a taxi to a grand building.
Towering in the heart of Yunhai City’s prime district, this imposing structure was the Yunhai branch of Wolong Bank.
Upon completion, it became a new landmark of Yunhai.
Countless wealthy families and the entire upper class focused their attention here.
As the owner, Qin Feng had promised Qing Luan he would drop by for tea and also wanted to inquire about the progress of an assigned investigation.
Unexpectedly, just as Qin Feng was about to enter, a sharp voice rang in his ear—
“Stop!”
“Who are you? Do you think you can just walk in here?”
