Chapter 147: Chapter 149, You’re Not Even Worth a Scallion!

A week swiftly passed by, and the scorching month of June was approaching its end.

During this week, in Moon City’s upper echelons, there were heated discussions.

"The number one beauty of Moon City, to think she ended up with a concussion and became a vegetable? Heaven is truly blind!"

"What a pity! I was one of her admirers, but now that is in the past."

"I predict that Longtu Group will soon disappear from Moon City."

Among these gossipers were men, women, young, and old, most of whom did not get along with Shen Binan.

It was nothing else but because Shen Binan was too cold in her interactions, which caused many of them to lose face to some extent.

Of course, only a minority delighted in her misfortune; some did not speak, but they saw the opportunities surfacing—swallowing up the colossus of Longtu Group, even if just claiming a leg, was profitable!

In the stock market of Moon City, the share prices of Longtu Group plummeted. Many sold their shares, many others bought them only to resell, with most flowing towards Ren Group.

Ren Group’s hostility with Longtu Group was clear to any discerning eyes, and Ren Group aimed to annihilate Longtu Group.

With Shen Binan suffering from a concussion and turning into a vegetable, it was the largest advantage for the Ren Group. Even if Shen Hongyang took over Longtu Group again, he was virtually powerless to turn things around.

However, at that time, an astonishing news broke out.

Shen Hongyang had not resumed control of Longtu Group but had appointed a father-son duo to oversee Longtu Group. Upon interacting with them, it was discovered they were from the Luo Family of the Southern Domain.

Indeed, it was the father and son, Luo Mingyuan and Luo Hao.

"...Just like that, handing over Longtu Group to this father and son duo, Fang Yi, is this really okay?" Shen Hongyang asked Fang Yi when making this decision.

"Uncle Shen, rest assured, I have my own judgments. As long as Longtu Group remains under your name one day, there’s no need to worry about those two," Fang Yi firmly stated, exuding an unfathomable confidence.

That day, Fang Yi arrived at the company. It was his first day back at the company after ’disappearing’ for a week.

Immediately, nearly everyone surrounded him, asking him various questions, trying to probe indirectly—most were curious and concerned about Shen Binan, but there were also a few trying to fish in troubled waters. Fang Yi uniformly responded with feigned ignorance.

However, fortunately, Ding Miaoyan stepped forward, alleviating these annoyances for him.

"If you don’t want to be squid fodder, get back to work!" Ding Miaoyan, as the head of the business department, possessed immense authority, hardly less intimidating than Shen Binan.

Before long, Fang Yi was left in peace.

"Ding Miaoyan, oh Ding Miaoyan, with all this help, I really don’t know how to repay you. Perhaps I should offer myself to you," Fang Yi ’bashfully’ said.

"Scram!"

Ding Miaoyan briskly spat out that word, and Fang Yi promptly rolled away to the business department.

Upon entering the business department, Fang Yi found a handsome guy sitting at his desk.

"How did you get here?" Fang Yi said.

"How could I not come when a brother’s in trouble?" Lin said with a smile.

"Aren’t you mad at me anymore?" Fang Yi asked with a smile.

"Why stay mad at a brother? Actually..." Lin suddenly started to falter.

"What’s wrong?"

Lin sighed and said, "Actually, I’ve been at Jide University these past few days. You should know why I was there."

Fang Yi nodded, showing that he understood.

Ever since that time, Lin had said he’d fallen in love with Qin Xin at first sight. With his personality, pursuing her daily wasn’t unusual. Moreover, in Fang Yi’s view, with Lin’s charm and demeanor, winning Qin Xin couldn’t be too hard, right?

"I failed," Lin admitted.

"Huh?"

"Don’t be surprised, I indeed failed. I initially thought that with my charm, it would be easy. However, I discovered she seems to like you."

"But I don’t like that girl," Fang Yi said, distancing himself.

"I know," Lin Shang nodded. "But how can one clearly explain love? However, I’ve come to terms with it."

Suddenly, Fang Yi felt a stir in his heart and said, "I’ve noticed that you don’t seem very heartbroken."

"When you lose patience with something or someone, you must use something new or someone new to heal the wound in your heart..."

Fang Yi kicked him and interrupted, "Don’t talk about soulful chicken soup, get to the point."

"I’ve found another girl I like."

"..."

Fang Yi said solemnly, "This time, you can be assured, I won’t go with you again."

Lin Shang replied, "It doesn’t matter whether you come or not, that little girl really likes me now."

Fang Yi covered his face and said, "That’s good."

"By the way, what exactly happened this time? I heard that the president of Longtu Group..."

"This isn’t the place to talk."

Fang Yi found a more secluded area. It was a balcony, and standing there, one could gaze at the high-rise buildings ahead.

Fang Yi and Lin Shang lit a cigarette, leaned on the balcony railing, and let the strong wind blow through their hair.

Fang Yi also brought a cup of coffee, spent about ten minutes talking about the general situation, and then took a sip of his coffee.

"So that’s how it is. This big plan really suits your style," Lin Shang said.

"Of course, this time I won’t be satisfied until I’ve taken Ren Tianqing down," Fang Yi declared.

"I want to join in too," said Lin Shang.

"That’s fine, but I need you to help me with something," Fang Yi stated.

"Tell me."

"Help me investigate the Fang Family."

Lin Shang raised his eyebrows: "The Fang Family in Tianjing?"

"You know?"

Lin Shang said, "It seems you’ve gotten used to being a wanted criminal abroad. There’s a name on the Assassin list, ’Dark Night King’, do you know it?"

Fang Yi thought for a moment and replied, "I can’t remember; I didn’t really care about that before."

"Well, as far as I know, that ’Dark Night King’ is indeed a descendent of the Fang Family, ranked in the top ten on today’s assassin list, a rising star who now is a Diamond Level assassin and will soon become an Extraordinary Level assassin."

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly; this vast and mysterious Fang Family seemed to have interests beyond Moon City, even reaching out globally!

"Perhaps that descendent of the Fang Family was sent for training," Lin Shang speculated.

Fang Yi nodded. Lin Shang’s guess wasn’t unreasonable.

Using murder as training, however, was something difficult to comprehend for those major families.

The two continued discussing on the balcony when suddenly, a stern voice called out.

"Fang Yi, what are you doing on the balcony during work hours? Are you trying to skip work?"

Fang Yi turned his head and saw Luo Hao standing there with several department heads and managers behind him, all of whom Fang Yi recognized.

At that moment, Luo Hao, arrogant with his head tilted up, saw that Fang Yi didn’t respond with even a hint of surprise, which infuriated him.

Knowing that Fang Yi had come to the company, Luo Hao had rushed over with these managers and department heads, hoping to catch Fang Yi in a moment of idle chat—a perfect opportunity for revenge. To his dismay, Fang Yi responded with such a dismissive and indifferent attitude.

"Why are you not speaking? Are you afraid?" Luo Hao sneered.

"You don’t even count as an onion; why would I be afraid?" Fang Yi glanced at him from the corner of his eye and spoke indifferently, his words filled with contempt and disparagement.
