Chapter Eight: Striking a Sore Spot

In an instant.

The other thugs turned pale with fear, their legs trembling.

They stared at Qin Feng, unable to comprehend where he had such terrifying strength to kick someone flying over ten meters away.

Even if the fall didn’t kill him, he would surely suffer a concussion!

As for resisting?

The thugs exchanged glances, their eyes filled with dread, with no thought of defiance.

Terrified, they knelt on the ground, though unsure how they had offended Qin Feng, begging repeatedly, “Sir, please spare us this time. We promise never to provoke you again!”

Qin Feng’s expression remained cold as he asked, “Are you men working for Lord Hu?”

“Yes…”

“Where does he live?”

“Lord Hu lives in a villa on the outskirts, but tonight he’s holding a grand banquet at the Phoenix Restaurant.”

“A banquet?”

Seeing Qin Feng frown, the thugs quickly added, “Mainly because Miss Xu from the Xu family has a marriage contract with Lord Hu. Tonight’s banquet is to announce to the elite of Yunhai that he intends to marry her!”

“Marry her?” Qin Feng’s eyes flashed with a cold light, thinking how lustful this old man truly was.

With a wave of his hand, he said, “Enough. Take them away!”

He watched as they trembled and left hurriedly.

Qin Feng sighed softly.

If his relationship with Song Yuting could be called a twist of fate, then with Xu Banxia it was nothing but a cursed bond.

Well, so be it.

He would help this girl just this once.

After all, from what he had heard about Lord Hu, the man had a terrible reputation—he’d married three wives in his life, the first two died, leaving a son with the first wife, and now his current wife was just over thirty but was already anxious to find another younger one…

Qin Feng sneered inwardly.

This old man would probably end up dead by the hands of women sooner or later.

Later, as he made his way to the Song Group…

Inside the Sun Group headquarters,

Sun Zihang sat in the CEO’s office listening to his subordinate’s report.

“Mr. Sun, ever since Song Yuting returned to the company, many of our informants have been exposed.”

“Do we need to plant more people to infiltrate it?”

Sun Zihang’s eyes darkened with anger.

It was a pity they hadn’t managed to capture Song Yuting in the whole ‘Gu’ insect affair.

The key was that kid named Qin Feng; if it weren’t for him, the plan wouldn’t have failed!

“No matter.”

“Song Group is already on its last legs. Wolong Bank has established a branch in Yunhai. In two days, they will announce their first investment target.”

“For us, securing that investment slot is the top priority!”

“By the way, have all the Song Group’s business partners been taken care of?”

The subordinate promptly replied, “All arranged.”

Sun Zihang smirked meaningfully.

“That’s good. I doubt Wolong Bank would invest in an isolated company.”

“Contact Lord Hu for me. Bring ten million and tell him to kill someone.”

“Yes, sir!” The subordinate left immediately.

Through the massive floor-to-ceiling window, Sun Zihang overlooked the entire city of Yunhai, his eyes flashing with cold light.

“Song Yuting, you might escape now, but you won’t get away later!”

“When I tried to acquire your company and you resisted, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Elsewhere,

Qin Feng, carrying a herbal medicine package, had arrived at the Song Group headquarters.

The Song Group was located in the most prosperous district of Yunhai.

Surrounded by towering skyscrapers, the streets were filled exclusively with luxury cars, and all the pedestrians were dressed in suits.

In contrast, Qin Feng’s casual clothes made him stand out awkwardly.

The next moment,

As Qin Feng was about to enter, the security guards blocked his way, shouting, “Hey, what are you doing here?”

“No unauthorized personnel allowed.”

Qin Feng explained helplessly, “I’m here to see Ms. Song. I have medicine for her.”

The guards gave him a disdainful look.

“Kid, many people claim to know Ms. Song, but at least come up with a believable excuse. Bringing medicine? What kind of joke is that?”

“Get lost as far as you can.”

The guards waved him off with disgust.

Qin Feng frowned, about to explain further.

Suddenly, a Mercedes-Benz pulled up.

The window rolled down, revealing Han Long in the driver’s seat.

Beside him sat Xu Lianzhi.

“Well, well, this shabby look looks familiar!”

“So it’s you!” Han Long sneered, “What, the savior of Ms. Song can’t even get into the company’s front door?”

“Tch!” Xu Lianzhi was quick to join in disdainfully.

“You put on quite a show yesterday. I thought you were capable.”

“Come to think of it, someone like Ms. Song wouldn’t care about a pauper like you!”

With the guards fawning over them, Han Long drove into the Song Group.

Turning back, a guard shouted at Qin Feng, “Why aren’t you leaving? Do you want us to throw you out?”

Qin Feng smiled to himself, thinking these guards really looked down on people.

He stepped forward and casually waved his hand, sending an invisible shockwave crashing into the guards’ chests, knocking them all flying, tumbling and groaning in pain.

Afterward,

Qin Feng stepped over their bodies, inquired at the front desk, and made his way to the CEO’s office on the sixth floor.

Just then,

As he stepped out of the elevator, he met Han Long and Xu Lianzhi waiting outside.

“Such bad luck!”

“How did you get up here?” Xu Lianzhi sneered with disgust.

Han Long chuckled coldly, “How else? I crawled in through a dog’s hole!”

“Kid, you don’t actually think saving Ms. Song means you can threaten her for benefits, do you?”

“That’s why you were so confident tearing up that cheque last night—because you were trying to get at Ms. Song.”

Han Long’s contempt for Qin Feng grew; clearly, with Qin Feng’s appearance, the only reason was to get something out of it.

Qin Feng glanced at them and said, “Stop thinking everyone else is as incompetent as you.”

“Only able to climb up by using women!”

That hit Han Long’s sore spot just right.

He alone knew what he had sacrificed to become general manager.

For that position, he had submitted himself to the company’s boss—a middle-aged fat heiress weighing over 200 pounds.

Almost every week, he was drained three or four times and had to lick the sweaty, stinky feet of that woman every day.

That’s how his hair had all fallen out!

Immediately,

Han Long’s face flushed with rage, his expression fierce.

He grabbed Qin Feng’s collar and shouted, “Kid, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“So agitated—guess I hit a nerve?” Qin Feng mocked with a smile.

“You’re courting death!”

Han Long raised his fist and swung it at Qin Feng’s head.

However, Qin Feng was faster.

He landed a punch on Han Long’s stomach first, causing him to vomit bitterly.

With wide eyes, Han Long collapsed to the ground, beating wildly.

Xu Lianzhi screamed in fright and lunged at Qin Feng, clawing wildly.

Qin Feng didn’t even look at her; with a casual palm strike, he sent her flying to the floor.

“Smack!”

The crisp slap finally caught the attention of the office’s occupant.

A woman dressed as a secretary stepped out.

She said coldly, “No fighting or loud noises outside the office. Don’t you know that?”

Though Han Long and Xu Lianzhi were furious after being beaten, they dared not show it.

“Sorry, Secretary Liu. There’s a reason for this. Please forgive us.”

Han Long forced a smile.

He was here to seek cooperation and didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Song Yuting.

So, he glared fiercely at Qin Feng, hiding his anger deep inside.

Qin Feng shrugged, completely indifferent.

“Go in.”

“Ms. Song wants to see you.”

Secretary Liu glanced at Qin Feng with clear dislike, not understanding why the CEO hadn’t kicked them out.
