Crash!

Within the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel, one of Zhonghai’s top ten star hotels, Jiang Yunpeng, after having his call abruptly ended by Chen Qi, couldn’t contain his inner fury.

He grabbed a wine glass and violently threw it onto the floor.

Not just the wine glass, but the half-full, exorbitantly priced bottle of XO that had just been opened was also hurled onto the floor by Jiang Yunpeng.

“Lieutenant Jiang, why be so angry?

Please hear me out.” Compared to Jiang Yunpeng’s thunderous rage, Fang Wenxi’s face was equally overcast, but he was evidently much more restrained.

“You flatter me, Fang.

If you’re offering comfort, I think I’ll pass!” The seemingly inadvertent rebuke from Lin Fei to Chen Qi, telling her not to appear before him, was like a vicious slap across the face of Jiang Yunpeng.

Such an incident was already humiliating enough, yet to have Fang Wenxi overhear everything added insult to injury.

Not to mention that Jiang Yunpeng was known as the youngest lieutenant of the prestigious Azure Dragon Army, even an ordinary man would probably feel a great loss of face and unable to bear it.

Had it not been for the ten million he had just received from Fang Wenxi, Jiang Yunpeng would have likely stormed out long ago.

Fang Wenxi let out a bitter laugh, “I believe there’s a misunderstanding, Lieutenant Jiang.

If anything, you should be the one comforting me.”

“How so?!” Giving Fang Wenxi a piercing look and sensing he wasn’t joking, Jiang Yunpeng settled back onto the sofa and asked coldly.

“Lieutenant Jiang, you must remember when I mentioned that I was swindled out of fifty million.” As Fang Wenxi spoke, a thread of sinister bitterness flitted across his phoenix eyes.

Being conned out of fifty million by Lin Fei was, for him, the hardest fall he had taken in his life.

Seeing that Jiang Yunpeng was intently awaiting the rest of the story, Fang Wenxi continued, “If I heard correctly, the man who spoke up during your call, Lieutenant Jiang, was the very same person who conned me out of fifty million.”

“Oh?” After hearing Fang Wenxi’s narrative of shared misfortune, Jiang Yunpeng’s gloomy expression softened slightly before he asked, “Are you certain, Fang?”

“There’s no mistake,” Fang Wenxi affirmed confidently: “His name is Lin Fei, the deputy director of the Mu Group’s Security Department.

When I went to discuss a partnership with the Mu Group, it was he who, taking advantage of his manpower, incapacitated my bodyguard, detained my people and car, and extorted fifty million from me.”

“You’re sure he doesn’t have any other background?” Jiang Yunpeng was angry, but it was clear he hadn’t completely lost his reason.

A man who could extort fifty million from Fang Wenxi and catch Chen Qi’s interest was certainly someone Jiang Yunpeng had to consider.

“Lieutenant Jiang worries too much.

In the past two days, I’ve had people specifically investigate this Lin Fei’s background.

Lin Fei served in the military for a few years, then spent some time abroad.

Unable to make it there, he returned to Zhonghai.

During a previous internal power struggle within the Mu Group, he conveniently lent some assistance, which led to his exceptional promotion to deputy director of the Security Department.

Beyond that, there are no other special backgrounds.”

Fang Wenxi provided a brief overview of Lin Fei’s background that his men had uncovered, then spoke coldly, “These days, I’ve been planning to have someone loosen his muscles for him.

Little did I expect he would—”

“Enemies are destined to cross paths!” Understanding Lin Fei’s identity and background and unwilling to let Fang Wenxi continue pouring salt on his wound, Jiang Yunpeng cut Fang Wenxi off with a cold voice.

“Indeed, it’s a small world.

Had I known he would disgust you, Lieutenant Jiang, I would have definitely not spared him until today, even if it meant losing some of my men.” This was truly what Fang Wenxi felt in his heart.

Had he known that Lin Fei would get involved with Chen Qi, he would not have minded arranging an earlier confrontation to reclaim those fifty million.

“If it’s just a matter of manpower, perhaps I can offer some help to Lieutenant Fang,” Jiang Yunpeng, his mood considerably softened under a shared sense of empathy, began to contemplate how to deal with Lin Fei.

Even without Chen Qi’s call tonight, Jiang Yunpeng, who was intent on snatching away Chen Qi for himself, would likely not be courteous to Lin Fei.

And now, with tonight’s call that teamed up Chen Qi and Lin Fei to slap him in the face, Jiang Yunpeng was even less inclined to hold back.

“Ordinary people might fear dealing with Lin Fei.

I don’t want to admit it, but Lin Fei indeed has some ability.

The most capable bodyguard under my command is no match for him,” Jiang Yunpeng was willing to provide personnel, and to Fang Wenxi, who had been thinking about getting back the fifty million from Lin Fei, this was indeed good news.

However, Fang Wenxi clearly hadn’t forgotten the scene when his capable henchman, the Lone Wolf, was severely beaten by Lin Fei.

“Some days ago, a batch of special forces in our military region retired, and I thought they still had some skills, so I recruited a few.

If they can’t handle even a security guard, I think there’s no need for me to keep them.”

Jiang Yunpeng’s words kindled a flash of joy in Fang Wenxi’s eyes.

Fang Wenxi was obviously aware of the reputation of Lieutenant Jiang Yunpeng as the youngest lieutenant in the Azure Dragon Army, as well as the Jiang Family’s influence behind the scenes in the Azure Dragon Army.

Although Jiang Yunpeng spoke casually, Fang Wenxi understood that the people Jiang Yunpeng recruited were almost certainly not going to be pushovers.

Immediately, Fang Wenxi said, “If Lieutenant Jiang is willing to dispatch these people, Lin Fei will surely be no issue.

When the time comes, from the fifty million reclaimed from Lin Fei, I am willing to give it all to Lieutenant Jiang.”

“This, perhaps, is somewhat improper,” a gleam flashed in Jiang Yunpeng’s eyes, yet he politely demurred.

“What’s improper about it?

That fifty million was originally prepared for you, Lieutenant Jiang.

If Lin Fei hadn’t interfered, the amount I could have given wouldn’t have been just a mere ten million.”

“Since Lieutenant Fang says so, then I’ll dispatch that small team of retired special forces to you, Lieutenant Fang.

What’s the harm?” Under the temptation of a sizable reward, Jiang Wenxi clearly was prepared to make a significant investment.

Clap!

Clap!

“Lieutenant Jiang is generous.” While praising Jiang Yunpeng, Fang Wenxi clapped his hands in appreciation.

Following Fang Wenxi’s applause, from the bedroom inside the presidential suite, two young ladies wearing only bikinis emerged, gracefully positioning themselves behind Jiang Yunpeng, one on each side.

“Lieutenant Fang, what is this?”

Fang Wenxi smiled, “Lieutenant Jiang, don’t take it to heart; this is just a small token of my appreciation.

You’ve been in the military for three years, and now that you’re out, why not relax a bit?

These two were specially selected for Lieutenant Jiang.

They’re both university students, clean background, you should not let down a brother’s good intentions.”

“If this is Lieutenant Fang’s kind gesture, then I shall graciously accept.”

“In that case, I’ll take my leave now, Lieutenant Jiang.

Just wait for my good news,” said Fang Wenxi, rising and promptly leaving the presidential suite.
