Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Co-optation

"You’re very smart, so I won’t beat around the bush!"

"Frankly, you’re very capable and resourceful. With you at Lin’s Jewelry, it’s really difficult for me to achieve my goals!"

"While I still have methods, using the kind that harms the enemy a thousand but injures myself eight hundred—I really don’t want to resort to that."

"So now, I want you to join my camp, leave Lin Wanqing, and work for me. Just agree, and all this money and women can be yours!"

Zhao Min said coldly.

"It does sound tempting!" Chen Feng glanced at the US dollars and the ten beauties on the table, pinched his chin, and said with a smile.

"I know, using money and women to win someone over seems rather tacky, especially for a talent like yourself—it’s vulgar to the extreme."

"But for men, having more money than you could ever spend and a variety of beautiful women, isn’t that what you all pursue in life? I don’t think you’ll refuse my offer, will you?"

Seeing Chen Feng seemed somewhat swayed, Zhao Min smiled slightly and continued speaking.

"With so much money and so many beautiful women, I really have no reason to refuse!" Chen Feng said with a light smile but then suddenly changed his tone, "But... now I refuse them all!"

"Why? You think my offer isn’t enough? You can make your own demands, as long as they’re reasonable, I’ll satisfy them!"

Zhao Min’s brows furrowed slightly as she spoke.

"Really?" Chen Feng’s mouth curved into an amused smile as his eyes unabashedly roved over Zhao Min’s delicate body.

Zhao Min felt utterly disgusted by Chen Feng’s gaze, but in order to win him over, she still patiently asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"Of course you! Just be willing to sleep with me for one night, and I might consider your previous offer." Chen Feng said with a rogue smile, deliberately provoking her.

"That’s impossible!" Zhao Min’s face turned cold instantly as she said icily.

"In that case, there’s nothing to discuss then. I’m really not interested in your money or women!" Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.

"Besides me, ask for as much money as you want, or if you fancy any female celebrity, even A-listers, I can get them in your bed. Whatever Lin Wanqing is giving you, I will definitely offer ten times more—just come and help me!"

Zhao Min said, still holding out hope.

"Beauty, do you really think men can all be bought with money and women?"

"At Lin Wanqing’s, it’s not just about the benefits for me, there’s something there I want to protect. If you called me out just to talk about this, then our conversation can end now!"

Chen Feng said flatly and then stood up from the sofa and walked toward the room door.

"Don’t you want to know where Wu Kun is being held? Don’t you care about his wellbeing? Join my camp, and I’ll release him immediately; otherwise, there will only be one outcome for him—to completely disappear from this world!"

Zhao Min said, watching Chen Feng’s retreating figure, with a cold voice.

Hearing this, Chen Feng stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Zhao Min, and asked with a faint smile, "Is this a threat then?"

"Interpret it as you wish. Today, you have no other choice; either join us or you and Wu Kun will both disappear from this world!"

Zhao Min said coldly.

Having said that, she turned her head directly to the ten bodyguards and nodded at them.

Upon seeing this, the bodyguards, without a word, each pulled out an electric shock baton from their waist and surrounded Chen Feng, enclosing him.

If Chen Feng dared to make any unusual move, they wouldn’t hesitate to jab him with the electric shock batons.

Seeing this scene, Chen Feng shook his head somewhat helplessly and said with a laugh, "It seems this is quite the setup like a Feast at Hong Gate!"

"Chen Feng, now you have only two choices. One, leave Lin Wanqing, submit to me, and help me seize Lin’s Jewelry, to revel in wealth and honor."

"Two, very simple," Wu Kun said, "that is to immediately disappear from this world!"

"I give you thirty seconds to think it over," Wu Kun continued coldly, "after thirty seconds, live or die, it’s up to you!"

Zhao Min said coldly.

The thirty seconds flew by in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Min looked at Chen Feng and asked coldly, "Have you thought it through?"

"I have," Chen Feng nodded slightly, his tone indifferent. "Originally, I was prepared to search for Uncle Wu’s whereabouts myself, but in these thirty seconds, I understood something―since you’re here, I just need to take you down and coerce you. Then, Uncle Wu’s location would naturally come to light, wouldn’t it?"

"It seems you’ve chosen the second option!"

A flash of cold light flickered in Zhao Min’s eyes as she spoke in a cold voice.

"If you’re going to make a move, do it quickly. You’re a woman, so I’ll let you go first!" Chen Feng said with a light smile.

"Humph!" A glint of icy light flared in Zhao Min’s eyes, and she immediately ordered the ten bodyguards, "Do it!"

Upon hearing the command, the bodyguards, holding their switched-on Electric Shock Batons, lunged at Chen Feng.

That was a total of ten Electric Shock Batons, and it wasn’t just about all ten hitting someone at once—even just one would be unbearable for most people.

As the ten gleaming Electric Shock Batons with arcs of electricity were about to hit Chen Feng...

At that moment, Chen Feng, who had been standing still, suddenly made his move.

In an instant, Chen Feng turned into a blur, charging straight at the bodyguard directly in front of him.

The bodyguard had some skill; seeing Chen Feng rushing toward him, he quickly swung his Electric Shock Baton at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng, seeing this, slightly sidestepped, and the Electric Shock Baton grazed past his body.

Immediately, Chen Feng didn’t give the bodyguard any chance to react and threw a Straight Punch directly at the bodyguard’s chest.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound was heard, and the bodyguard spat out blood, flying backward and crashing heavily against the wall of the private room.

This scene was incredibly shocking, causing the other nine bodyguards to hesitate.

Chen Feng seized this moment, swiftly turning and charging towards the remaining nine bodyguards.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

A series of thudding sounds followed in quick succession.

And with each thud, another bodyguard was sent flying, spitting blood.

The remaining nine bodyguards were quickly on the ground.

Adding the first one, all ten bodyguards armed with Electric Shock Batons had fallen and couldn’t get up—all within just thirty seconds.

This scene completely stunned Zhao Min, who was sitting on the sofa; her beautiful face was covered in surprise.

After all, she had spent a large sum to hire those ten bodyguards.

Having some understanding of Chen Feng’s fighting skills, Zhao Min naturally wouldn’t hire ordinary bodyguards to deal with Chen Feng; she had specifically sought out ten experts.

It was said that these ten people were all former special forces soldiers, quite formidable.

Yet they were so easily defeated by Chen Feng’s hand.

It was truly beyond belief...
