Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Taking the Opportunity to Strike

A laugh echoed from outside the door.

A middle-aged man greeted an elderly man dressed in a Tang suit into the room, hollering at everyone present, "You all arrived quite early, is there still a seat left for me, He Hongtao?"

Long Fei watched him from the corner, not at all surprised.

His current net worth and status indeed entitled him to a seat here.

Lin Yingying seemed to recognize him as well, but appeared uninterested, with a look that showed she didn’t want to be bothered.

The Lin Family’s business was clean and never customarily interacted with these people.

It appeared that Li Zhenni’s family didn’t deign to mingle with the upstarts of Binhai City either.

This family had always been independent, and their main business interests weren’t in Binhai City anyway.

A group of people immediately got up to greet him, "Hong Ye, what are you talking about? This is your territory, who would dare not have a seat for you?"

"Hong Ye, please take a seat quickly. The front seats were specifically reserved for you."

"..."

He Hongtao, with a glowing face and in good spirits, introduced to everyone, "This seat, I dare not take. While all the local tycoons of Binhai are present, let me introduce someone. This man beside me is Binhai City’s most famous Feng Shui Master, Mr. Qian Youdao. I believe everyone here is quite familiar with him, right?"

The elderly man beside him nodded and greeted the crowd with an immortal bearing and the demeanor of a noble.

The wealthy individuals all laughed and said, "Only Hong Ye could have the face to invite Master Qian."

"Master Qian, naturally you should also take a high seat."

"With Master Qian here, we can rest assured, no need to worry about being taken for fools and slaughtered."

He Hongtao chimed in, "Old Xu, you’ve actually hit the nail on the head. I specifically invited Master Qian here to ensure that the so-called master from Xianggang isn’t a fraud, here to fleece us Binhai people. Later on, let Master Qian first verify the goods for us. If they’re really good, then it’s not too late for us to offer a price."

"Exactly, that’s the spirit!"

"That’s why Hong Ye is so astute!"

"Hong Ye truly speaks our minds."

A crowd showered him with flattery, making Master Qian’s head rise even higher.

He sported a beard, with a full head of white hair fashionably tied in a small ponytail at the back.

At first glance, he indeed looked like a learned and accomplished man.

It hadn’t been long since He Hongtao sat down when his gaze swept across the room and landed on Long Fei across the corner.

Long Fei responded with a smile and a nod, which genuinely startled He Hongtao.

Today, everyone present was worth over a hundred million.

He hadn’t expected this bodyguard to be able to slip in.

Knowing that he had specifically invited Qiu Yibai, a Grandmaster from the Ancient Martial World who was known for his ’Iron Palm Skimming on Water’ technique, to oversee the event.

This Grandmaster of the Ancient Martial World was seated outside, no less.

Seeing Lin Yingying, He Hongtao wondered if Long Fei managed to get in by following her

Lin Yingying would indeed be qualified, as she represented Lin’s Group.

Usually, she wasn’t eager to mix with them, but today she had arrived quite early.

Although he knew Long Fei was involved with Miss Shen, recalling the humiliation of that night, he decided to teach Long Fei a lesson.

He Hongtao immediately stood up, pointed at Long Fei and shouted, "You, stand up."

Everyone suddenly turned around, following the direction of his finger and their gazes fixed on Long Fei.

Long Fei was a bit baffled, thinking damn it, I’m already hiding here, and you still manage to spot me.

Ignoring him, He Hongtao cursed, "Talking to you, are you deaf?"

Long Fei frowned, snorted disdainfully, and retorted, "Who are you? It’s none of your business where I sit."

The crowd was immediately abuzz, astonished that the young man actually dared to challenge He Hongtao.

Truly a fearless young calf does not fear the tiger—how could anyone dare to disrespect He Hongtao’s status in the underworld?

His face turned red, almost seething with murderous intent as he said, "Good, you really are incorrigible, daring to defy me. I don’t want to resort to violence today in the Shen Family’s residence. I just want to ask you one question, do you have an invitation? Who let you sit here?"

The gathering today was no ordinary affair, with even Fourth Master Shen viewing ordinary folks as not worthy of invitation.

The rich onlookers were delighted by the commotion, fixating on Long Fei to figure out to which divine clan he belonged.

But Long Fei simply replied calmly, "I do not have an invitation."

The crowd gasped, wondering how he managed to sneak in without an invitation.

A smug look appeared on He Hongtao’s face as he said coldly, "There, I knew it. You’ve got some nerve to sneak around here. I bet you climbed over the wall, didn’t you?"

The crowd shook their heads in disdain, casting contemptuous glances at Long Fei as they thought being in his company was humiliating.

Some even shouted towards the outside, "Security, have the rules been forgotten? Drag this lowlife out."

"What kind of security can’t even keep a whippersnapper in check?"

"This guy’s got some nerve; doesn’t he know his place among people of our stature?"

Before the security could come in, a delicate huff could be heard, "What’s this now? Are my guests to be thrown out, too?"

A woman wearing a white sleeveless chiffon gown walked in, exuding the martial spirit of a practitioner and the natural elegance of a wealthy family’s daughter.

Her ornate hair done in an antique style, with front bangs swept up high and a bun at the back secured with a golden hairpin.

Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall to her waist, and her beautiful eyes resembled a tranquil autumn lake, so mesmerizing that people dared not look directly.

The crowd stood up, greeting her with deference, "Greetings, Miss Shen."

"Miss Shen, how do you do?"

Even Qian Youdao, who was just now boastful to the sky, lowered his posture to greet Shen Yan’er respectfully with a fist salute.

Shen Yan’er swept her skirt as she sat down in the center seat.

He Hongtao’s face turned beet red; he hadn’t expected Long Fei to be under Shen Yan’er’s protection.

He was just a lackey of the Shen Family; how could he dare to drive away a guest of the owner? Hastily, he bowed and scraped together an apology, "Miss, I wasn’t aware. I misspoke just now and offended you; I ask for your forgiveness."

Shen Yan’er looked at him with a cold voice, "He Hongtao, you really haven’t progressed in all these years, causing trouble after trouble for my Shen Family. As someone in a high position, instead of reflecting on your behavior, you create chaos every day. I warn you, you can eat messily, but you must not speak without thinking. If you dare to do this again, don’t blame the Shen Family for not showing mercy."

He Hongtao didn’t dare utter a word, his forehead beaded with cold sweat as he nodded repeatedly.

Over the years, he had been throwing his weight around in Binhai City, all thanks to the protection of the Shen Family.

If the Shen Family were to abandon him, he would be worse than a dog and would be thrown into jail in no time.

He obediently sat down, casting an embittered look at Long Fei, not daring to provoke the man any further.

The wealthy onlookers were equally astonished, giving Long Fei speculative looks and recalling that Shen Yan’er had taken care of this man before.

They all wondered to themselves, could this man possibly be Shen Yan’er’s boyfriend?

After all, Miss Shen of the Shen Family had always been single; it wouldn’t be odd for her to start dating.

Lin Yingying thought the same, turning to fiercely examine the unresponsive man beside her.

Even though he had cured Elder Shen last time, it didn’t justify Shen Yan’er’s supportive stance towards him now.

Long Fei smiled wryly; damn it, she was seizing the opportunity to make an example out of He Hongtao.

He and Shen Yan’er were innocent; besides, it wasn’t certain now whether she would even take a second look at him.

As Shen Yan’er had said, the world had changed.

Things that were previously unseen were now emerging. Long Fei felt that in Shen Yan’er’s eyes, he was nothing special.

Indeed, from the moment she entered, she hadn’t given Long Fei a single glance.

The gratitude for healing had ended there and then.
