The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 626 - 626 628 Starve You

626: Chapter 628: Starve You 626: Chapter 628: Starve You Lin Fei hailed a cab and headed straight back to his villa at Rongjing Garden.

After arriving home, Lin Fei found Mu Shanshan still awake, watching TV.

“You haven’t gone to sleep yet?” Lin Fei sat beside Mu Shanshan, picked up a water glass, and took a sip.

Just as Mu Shanshan was about to mention that it was her glass, she saw Lin Fei had already started drinking and decided not to stop him.

“There are still some things I haven’t finished dealing with, I’ll go to sleep in a bit.”

“By the way, how did you know I was at our hotel for a gathering today?”

“You seem to have forgotten,” Mu Shanshan, not inclined to explain further, said, “I am the general manager of Hyatt International Hotel.” She then turned to ask Lin Fei, “How was it?

I hope you didn’t embarrass yourself in front of your classmates today?”

Lin Fei waved his hand and laughed.

“With my wife stepping in, how could I possibly lose face?

It’s even more comforting than having gold plastered on my face.”

“In that case, how do you plan to thank me?”

Upon hearing Mu Shanshan say this, Lin Fei thought it was the perfect moment to give her the pair of earrings he had bought.

He took the box containing the earrings out of his pocket and extended it towards Mu Shanshan.

“What’s this?” Mu Shanshan, who had initially said it casually, asked with a hint of surprise as she looked back and forth between Lin Fei and the jewelry box.

“These are a thank-you gift for you, my wife.

Go ahead and open them.”

Mu Shanshan took the delicate little box, opened it, and saw a pair of beautiful crystal earrings lying quietly inside.

Seeing Mu Shanshan slightly widen her beautiful eyes, Lin Fei thought to himself that Lin Feng really knew how to please a woman.

“Do you like them?” Seeing Mu Shanshan nod, Lin Fei, moved by the moment, opened the jewelry box himself.

“Let me put them on for you.”

Mu Shanshan picked up her phone from the table, glanced at it, and mentioned work to Lin Fei.

While Mu Shanshan was on the phone, Lin Fei faintly heard a very familiar voice on the other end but couldn’t immediately recall who it was, so he asked her right after she hung up.

“Who was that?

The voice sounded so familiar, but I couldn’t place it.”

“Fang Shaoyu.”

Those three words instantly wiped out Lin Fei’s good mood, and he cautiously asked.

“Why would he contact you?”

Seeing Lin Fei’s uneasy expression, Mu Shanshan explained, “I’m quite puzzled myself.

I heard he is the newly parachuted general manager of Tianluo Venture Capital.

He represented his company in business talks with me today.”

Tianluo Venture Capital, parachuting, Fang Shaoyu, Fang Family.

A series of keywords connected in Lin Fei’s mind.

Mu Tiansheng had mentioned that Tianluo Venture Capital is an enterprise of the Fang Family, and if this Fang Shaoyu could parachute into the role of general manager at Tianluo Venture Capital, then there was only one conclusion—there was a high probability that he was from the Fang Family.

Considering this, Lin Fei couldn’t help feeling wary.

The fact that Fang Shaoyu from the Fang Family had made a move to contact Mu Shanshan was definitely not good news.

Meanwhile, Mu Shanshan was unaware of the complexities in Lin Fei’s mind as she spoke for herself, “The young people nowadays are truly remarkable.

This Fang Shaoyu is just over twenty and is already the general manager of a publicly listed company.”

After finishing, she looked at Lin Fei and couldn’t help saying, “Lin Fei, since you’re preparing to start your own business now, I hope you can achieve something.

Even if, it’s for my sake.”

Lin Fei, snapped out of his thoughts, his mind wasn’t on whether he could achieve anything at all but rather on the safety of Mu Shanshan.

His instincts told him that Fang Shaoyu’s parachuting into Tianluo Venture Capital was a declaration of war from the Fang Family against the Mu Family.

“Honey, can you reduce your contact with this Fang Shaoyu?”

Lin Fei couldn’t help but worry, and Mu Shanshan, thinking Lin Fei was being possessively jealous, sternly said, “Between him and me, it’s purely about business.”

“But I still hope, my wife, that you can keep your distance from him.”

Seeing Lin Fei’s serious expression, Mu Shanshan seemed affected by it, pausing in thought before nodding, “Alright, I promise you, I will not meet him after this business deal is concluded.”

With that, Lin Fei felt slightly relieved.
