Chapter 36: Her Best Friend Arrives
On the other side, within the Sun Corporation.
“It turns out Qin Feng treated President Qing’s illness, which is why President Qing favors him!”
“It’s all his fault for meddling in what should have been our Sun family’s investment!”
“We must kill that brat!”
The father and son of the Sun family cursed in frustration.
Ever since being forced to kneel and apologize to Qin Feng at the banquet, they had been too ashamed to show their faces in public.
They sent people to investigate the relationship between Qin Feng and President Qing and finally understood the situation.
One had to admit, that kid was really lucky!
But that luck was about to run out!
After repaying his favors, how else could he possibly turn the tables in the future?
As the Sun father and son pondered their strategy, a leisurely voice drifted over.
“You want to kill Qin Feng? I can help you with that!”
The father and son turned around.
A young man swaggered in, dressed in a bespoke white suit, wearing silver earrings, his handsome face betraying a hint of mischievousness in his eyes.
Every gesture exuded a rebellious air.
His aura was extraordinarily noble!
Behind him stood a muscular, fierce-eyed bodyguard, radiating the aura of a formidable martial artist.
Sun Yongkang and his son frowned.
“Who are you? Who allowed you to enter the Sun family gates?”
“Blind fools!” the bodyguard scolded. “In Yunhai, if you don’t know Young Master Li, are you blind?”
Hearing that name, the Sun family father and son shuddered involuntarily, their eyes full of shock.
There was only one person in all of Yunhai who could be called Young Master Li!
“Young Master Li?”
“Could it be Li Ao, the proud young master of the Li family, head of the four great families of Yunhai?!”
The Sun father and son hurriedly treated Li Ao as an honored guest, offering cigars and tea.
The four great families stood above all the aristocratic houses of Yunhai.
The Li family stood at the very top of these four!
Their power was terrifying, their wealth rivaling entire cities!
Rumor had it that the Li family even had strong backing in the provincial capital, ruling over Yunhai like a god with a single hand!
Compared to them, the Sun family was not even worthy to tie the Li family’s shoelaces!
“Young Master Li... just now you said you’d help us kill Qin Feng. What do you mean?” Sun Yongkang bowed as he lit a cigar for Li Ao, cautiously asking.
Li Ao’s eyelids twitched slightly.
He glanced at him casually.
“Exactly what it sounds like.”
The news of the Bai family’s destruction shocked Yunhai. The powerful figure in the provincial capital even called, ordering the Li family to swiftly eliminate the remaining Qin family heirs, leaving no future threats.
It was obvious.
Back then, under orders from that provincial dignitary, it was not only the Bai family who dealt with the Qin family.
There were others.
They were among them.
They hadn’t expected that kid to disappear for years and now reappear strong enough to wipe out the Bai family—it was really quite interesting.
Seeing Li Ao’s attitude, the Sun father and son were utterly surprised.
That Qin Feng brat had not only offended them but also Young Master Li?!
“If Young Master Li is willing to assist, the Sun family is deeply grateful!”
“But...”
“That brat is skilled, very capable. It won’t be easy!”
“Hmph.”
Li Ao sneered disdainfully, pointing to the bodyguard behind him.
“Po Jun, a well-known internal energy expert in the underworld, once fought one hundred men alone and came out on top. He will help you.”
“As long as that kid dies, your Sun family will become my Li family’s most steadfast partner!”
Immediately, the Sun father and son were overjoyed.
An internal energy expert!
That was a martial arts master second only to a grandmaster. Rumor had it that when he unleashed his internal energy, he could shatter a cow several miles away!
Not to mention, if they succeeded, they would be able to rely heavily on the Li family.
It was truly a silver lining in the dark.
Though they lost the investment from Wolong Bank, gaining the Li family’s help meant the Sun family’s fortunes were turning around!
“Thank you, Young Master Li! We will definitely kill that Qin Feng brat and avenge you!” Sun Yongkang declared enthusiastically.
“And that little bitch Song Yuting, we must catch her and deal with her together!”
“Does Young Master Li fancy her?”
Sun Zihang chimed in.
“Just take care of Qin Feng. As for Song Yuting? She’s quite something. If we can catch her, so much the better,” Li Ao pondered, then said, “But I have to go pick up a distinguished guest. The rest is up to you!”
“Anyway, within one day, I want to see Qin Feng’s head on a spike!”
To this, the Sun father and son nodded repeatedly.
Soon after, Sun Yongkang asked in surprise, “Young Master Li, may I ask who this distinguished guest is that requires your personal reception?”
Li Ao glanced at him coldly.
“Jiang Yalan, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family from the capital.”
“The Jiang family from the capital?”
The Sun family father and son trembled at once.
The Jiang family from the capital was a renowned real estate powerhouse, with immeasurable wealth!
Even the Li family, head of the four great families of Yunhai, was less than a tenth as wealthy!
“I see!”
“Then we wish Young Master Li success in winning the beauty’s heart!” The Sun father and son praised extravagantly.
...
Sunset sank low.
Evening.
Yunhai People’s Hospital.
Qin Feng finished work and went to find Xu Banxia, planning to accompany her to the airport to pick someone up.
Before he could leave, a nurse hurried over.
“Director Xu, an emergency patient just arrived. The hospital director wants you to join the expert consultation!”
Xu Banxia was startled.
“Why now of all times...”
“Are you going or not?” Qin Feng blinked.
“What do you think?”
“Do you want me to let my best friend be left out in the cold at the airport?”
Xu Banxia gave him a sidelong glance, then instructed, “You go pick her up for me and arrange some food. I’ll come as soon as I finish here!”
With that, she changed into her white coat and rushed off.
Helpless, Qin Feng had no choice but to go himself.
He rented a small car and arrived at the airport, holding up a sign with “Jiang Yalan” written on it.
He had heard from Xu Banxia.
Jiang Yalan was the daughter of a great family in the capital, a university classmate and close friend of Xu Banxia.
This time, she came to Yunhai for a reunion.
“Are you Qin Feng?”
A cold, clear voice suddenly rang out.
Qin Feng looked up to see a stunning young beauty standing before him, draped in luxury fashion, her figure alluring.
Her chestnut hair flowed freely, her skin was as fair as snow, her cherry lips like flames.
Though her eyes were hidden behind sunglasses, her breathtaking beauty could not be concealed.
Fashionable and radiant.
Qin Feng smiled.
“You must be Banxia’s friend. You know me?”
“I’ve heard Banxia mention you.”
After speaking, Jiang Yalan appraised Qin Feng with a skeptical look.
“In university, Banxia was the campus belle. The men who chased her stretched for kilometers.”
“But she never settled for a boyfriend. I always thought she had high standards.”
“But I never expected...”
Qin Feng asked, “Never expected what?”
“Nothing.”
Jiang Yalan didn’t want to expose the truth.
Why would a girl with Banxia’s background and education choose such an ordinary young man?
He had come this far, yet was still just a struggling intern doctor with neither prospects nor fortune...
She couldn’t understand!
“Where’s Banxia?” Jiang Yalan asked.
“Had an emergency surgery, couldn’t come. She asked me to take you to eat first,” Qin Feng explained.
“Alright.”
Jiang Yalan handed over her luggage, and the two left the hall.
They came to the cheap car Qin Feng rented.
Jiang Yalan shook her head secretly.
This car...
Probably worth no more than a hundred thousand yuan.
How did someone of his ability become Banxia’s fiancé?
Suddenly, a limited-edition Ferrari roared up, blocking their path.
A noble young man stepped out from the car, handsome and arrogant, holding a bouquet of bright red roses.
Seeing Jiang Yalan, he smiled and greeted her.
“Yalan! I’ve come to pick you up!”
Jiang Yalan frowned.
“I told you, no need to come.”
“Who is he?” Qin Feng looked at the youth curiously.
“You’re from Yunhai and don’t know him?” Jiang Yalan was impatient.
“Li Ao, the son of the Li family, head of the four great families of Yunhai.”
“We met once at a ball in the capital, and he’s been pestering me ever since.”
“Oh,” Qin Feng nodded, uninterested in Li Ao.
He just wanted to finish hosting Jiang Yalan quickly and go home for a good sleep.
At that moment, Li Ao also noticed Qin Feng.
He was clearly taken aback.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Feng asked, seeing his strange expression.
“Got something on my face?”
Li Ao sneered coldly.
He had just arranged for the Sun family to deal with Qin Feng, never expecting to run into him here.
Enemies always meet on narrow roads.
But why was this guy with Miss Jiang?
Li Ao arrogantly said, “Kid, you have no business here. Miss Jiang is under my care now. You’d better go cool off somewhere.”
“Maybe then you can enjoy life a little longer.”
Hearing the veiled insult, Qin Feng frowned.
“I was entrusted to take care of Miss Jiang. If I leave, it wouldn’t be in line with my principles.”
“Principles? You don’t understand human speech!” Li Ao sneered.
“I’ll give you three seconds to disappear, or don’t blame me for being rude.”
“Is that so?” Qin Feng smiled wildly.
“I’d like to see just how rude you, Young Master Li, can be.”
“You!”
Li Ao was furious.
But without backup and in front of Jiang Yalan, he dared not lose face.
So he turned and invited Jiang Yalan.
“Yalan, get in my car. That junk you’re in doesn’t suit a capital city heiress like you!”
With that, he opened the door eagerly.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yalan ignored Li Ao and got straight into Qin Feng’s car.
At the same time, she glanced at Qin Feng.
“What are you waiting for?”
“Didn’t you say you’d treat me to a meal?”
She looked down on Qin Feng, thinking him too ordinary and unworthy of her best friend.
But compared to him, she hated Li Ao even more.
Like a stubborn leech, she just couldn’t shake him off.
Qin Feng was a little surprised, then smiled at the sulking Li Ao and said casually,
“Young Master Li, I’ll leave you with one piece of advice: go find somewhere cool to hang out.”
