Chapter 464: Chapter 464: New Worries and Old Resentments Bring Green to the Brow

In the early morning, a series of urgent knocks sounded.

Awakening Lu Feifei, who was lying in Lin Fan’s arms.

She frowned slightly, detesting anyone disturbing her peaceful dreams.

Turning over, she pressed the switch on the bedside display.

Through the monitor, she looked at the person outside the door.

It was Mao Tu, one of her top twelve subordinates.

"Mao Tu, have you gone mad so early in the morning?"

Lu Feifei asked, clearly annoyed.

"Sister Phoenix, there’s big trouble. You didn’t answer your phone, so I had no choice but to come and knock."

Mao Tu stared with her big round eyes, a look of grievance on her face.

"The sky isn’t falling, what could be such big trouble? Go wait for me in the living room."

Although Lu Feifei said this, she still reluctantly sat up.

Turning her head, she looked at Lin Fan, who had opened his eyes.

"I guess it must be another mess at the Tongtian Pavilion."

"Master, then I’ll go and handle it first."

Lu Feifei probably also guessed what it was.

She picked up the nightgown that had fallen to the floor and put it on, then walked downstairs in her slippers.

Lin Fan did not get out of bed, still leaning against the headboard.

After all, this was Lu Feifei’s own business.

He just needed to help at critical moments.

There was no need to involve himself in everything.

But not long after Lu Feifei had left, the door was pushed open again.

Li Qiqi, rubbing her eyes and pouting, stood there.

"Lin Fan, did I drink too much last night? I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?"

"Of course not. You were very well-behaved when you drank, and you slept adorably."

Lin Fan smiled as he looked at Li Qiqi.

Last night, he had carried her home, and she had slept next door.

"That’s a relief... I thought I might have made a fool of myself."

Li Qiqi let out a sigh of relief, finally letting go of the heavy stone in her heart.

After all, she still felt a bit self-conscious in front of Lin Fan.

"Qi Qi, you’re awesome, how could you make a fool of yourself? But today is your sister Feifei’s store opening. You need to go help in the kitchen and dazzle them with your amazing soups."

Lin Fan held the quilt, his face smiling.

With Qi Qi’s appearance, she was sure to outshine everyone.

He was already looking forward to it.

"Then I’ve got to go back to the Medicine King House first to prepare some spices."

Qi Qi was also full of drive.

She ran to Lin Fan, kissed him on the cheek,

And then hurried out of the bedroom.

With her cheeks flushed, she really wanted to dive into the covers and hold him tight.

But alas, she still had to complete her Goddess training.

This perfect body had to be preserved.

After seeing off the intensely emotional Li Qiqi, Lin Fan naturally no longer felt sleepy.

He got up, picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, and got dressed.

Only then did he pull open the bedroom door and step out.

But just as he reached the stairs, he heard an uproar coming from the living room—it was Lu Feifei’s voice.

"Damn it, it’s that damn bitch again. I should have slashed her face back in the day and turned her into an ugly freak for life!"

"Why start cursing so early in the morning?"

Curious, Lin Fan walked down the stairs and saw Lu Feifei sitting on the sofa.

Upon seeing Lin Fan come down, Lu Feifei quickly stood up.

"I just received news that the guests who booked tables yesterday have all canceled their reservations. And after some investigation, it turns out that Tongtian Pavilion was behind this, getting hold of the reserved guests’ phone numbers and individually notifying them not to come dine, or else they would be banned from dining at Tongtian Pavilion forever."

Lu Feifei clenched her fists.

Tongtian Pavilion was really slapping her in the face without leaving her any dignity.

"Tongtian Pavilion is really ruthless. How deep is their grudge to play such a drastic card?"

Lin Fan frowned slightly and sat on the sofa.

Logically speaking, even if there had been some unhappiness between Tongtian Pavilion and Mr. Qian, it shouldn’t have affected the Phoenix Building.

Moreover, considering the Phoenix Building’s status in Jiangning, the other party should be well aware of the consequences of their actions.

This was practically a declaration of war.

Opposing a big sister figure from the gang world.

Weren’t they afraid that the Phoenix Building, in a moment of anger, might smash their Tongtian Pavilion?

"I just received the latest news, that fishmonger who suddenly became the owner of Tongtian Pavilion, wasn’t it all because he wore others’ sloppy seconds, and swapped his green hat for it? His wife used to be my archenemy, named Qiao Lulu. We grew up together, belonging to different camps. I fought with her, even with knives, and not killing her was her luck."

Lu Feifei gritted her teeth.

If I had known, I should have aimed for her neck back then.

"No wonder there’s such a grudge. But to confront you head-on, they must have some resources, right?"

Lin Fan rubbed his chin.

Although he had guessed that Tongtian Pavilion would resort to scheming.

He hadn’t expected them to dare do it so openly.

"Her resources are nothing but spreading her legs, seducing men. After I drove her out of North Street years ago, she supposedly went to Modu. I thought she was just selling herself, but unexpectedly, she transformed into the real boss of Tongtian Pavilion. It’s said that in Modu, she met a powerful sugar daddy, played his mistress for a few years, and after being caught by his wife, she had no choice but to be sent back here, randomly finding a man to be her husband in name."

Lu Feifei, furious, stood there gritting her teeth.

"And this morning, Tongtian Pavilion had already arranged a group of martial artists as guards, obviously afraid of my retaliation, so they took precautions in advance. But she is really delusional thinking that a few martial artists will deter me."

"So, what are you planning to do?"

Lin Fan watched Lu Feifei with a smile.

It was rare for him to see her genuinely enraged.

"The lady had already informed all the sub-branches to select the fiercest fighters. We’re going to bust down her Tongtian Pavilion soon and see who dares to oppose Phoenix Building then!"

Lu Feifei definitely had a fiery temper.

If you dare do the first, she dares do the fifteenth.

"You’re flaring up again. I’ve told you before, fighting and killing isn’t everything. Moreover, since the other party already knows you’re out for revenge, they’ve probably prepared everything. Even if you succeed, it’ll just be venting your anger. In the end, the Phoenix Building might be labeled for assaulting competitors. We need not only face, but substance too."

Lin Fan smiled and took Lu Feifei’s hand.

"Master, I don’t understand what you’re saying."

Lu Feifei looked at Lin Fan, confused.

What exactly did he mean by face and substance?

"You don’t need to understand. Just continue as normal tonight, open for business as usual. Leave everything else to me. I assure you that tonight, Phoenix Building will definitely have no empty seats."

Lin Fan held Lu Feifei’s plump body.

He smiled fondly.

"Tongtian Pavilion is one of the top eateries in Jiangning. Now everyone knows that tonight is a showdown with Phoenix Building. No one would want to offend such a prestigious place for business hospitality, especially since they keep promoting my notoriety in the underworld. Many probably believe this place to be a shady establishment."

Lu Feifei looked at Lin Fan with some worry.

It’s like when the wall falls, everyone pushes.

There were none to send charcoal in the snow, only those to throw stones down the well.

Lin Fan gave a light smile, "Exactly, today we run a shady business. Announce that all dish prices are doubled. I assure you, tonight, Phoenix Building will utterly defeat Tongtian Pavilion!"
