Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Caught Cheating?

Li Feng snorted coldly. He had heard his grandfather mention the Feng Sect before—among the various sects and factions in the world, there was a bunch dedicated to trickery and deception, including the groups known as the "Bees, Hemp, Swallows, and Sparrows" alliance, which itself was divided into eight different gates.

Amongst these eight gates, the Bees, Hemp, Swallows, and Sparrows specialized in swindling arts.

The "Feng" they claimed, in actuality, referred to the "Bee" within these groups, whose modus operandi involved swarming their prey like bees, skillfully coordinating and dividing tasks to study and set up scams that lured people into their traps, and then defrauding them of money or seduction.

"Hemp," also known as "Horse," implied acting alone—one-man operations. Scammers from the Hemp gate often disguised themselves as Taoists, monks, or reclusive experts, specifically targeting the wealthy for their money.

For instance, those Qi Gong masters and Feng Shui Masters—many of them belonged to the Hemp gate.

"Swallows," also called "Yan," were those who used seduction, bet on their looks. The woman on the bed was likely a master at this—if it weren’t for Li Feng’s overpowering approach, an average person might indeed have fallen prey to her schemes.

This sort of deception often involved a bait-and-switch, luring men into a room and then staging a scene of catching an adulterer in the act.

"Sparrows" referred to "Lack" or "Deficiency," and in ancient times, they primarily worked as middlemen. The somewhat shady brokers of today still bore the traces of the Sparrow gate.

The preferred tactic of the people before Li Feng was to masquerade as a film crew—with directors and screenwriters, easily deceiving naive young girls chasing their dreams into falling for their traps.

They exploited these girls’ desires for fame and success, tricking them out of both money and dignity.

"How much did you con?"

"Not much, just fifty thousand. We’ll pay back double."

"Where’s the person?"

"In the next room. We didn’t lay a finger on her."

Li Feng let out a sneer, his hand chopping straight to their necks, knocking several men out cold, then lifted his gaze to the woman on the bed clutching a pillow.

The woman swallowed nervously, then removed the pillow from in front of her and reached up to flick her hair, "If you want me, I can make you extremely happy."

Watching the woman’s suggestive actions, Li Feng delivered a sharp chop with his hand, showing no pity for the fairer sex as he knocked her out cold on the bed. He then pulled a room card from the bearded man and walked straight out to the room next door.

As Li Feng entered, he heard a moan. Passing through the entryway, he looked toward the large bed in the room, where Zhou Zhishan and another beautiful young woman were entwined together, breathing heavily.

Li Feng stepped forward, reaching out to touch Zhou Zhishan’s skin.

She had been drugged.

Li Feng cursed inwardly. These scammers were truly vile, not satisfied with just stealing money but also attempting to take advantage.

"Hmm!"

As Li Feng briefly hesitated, Zhou Zhishan, feeling the coldness of Li Feng’s hand, quickly turned her head to look at him, then tossed aside the person beneath her and lunged toward Li Feng.

Damn it.

Although Li Feng could easily dodge, if he did, Zhou Zhishan would end up falling off the bed—a drunken cat in her current state.

The drug they had been given was well-known to men, and this particular kind had no antidote, unless you counted a man as one. Of course, there was another method, which involved throwing them into cold water to endure the effects.

However, that latter method often risked turning someone into an imbecile.

Li Feng didn’t think for too long. As someone educated in medicine, he couldn’t just stand by and watch someone die...

Two hours later.

Li Feng got up and went to the bathroom for a quick shower, then glanced at the time—it was almost time for Chen Qinian’s acupuncture appointment.

After getting dressed, he took a last look at the two deeply sleeping women and left the room. But as soon as he stepped out the door, he felt someone nearby.

"It’s you!"

"Surprised?"

Dongfang Liang looked up at Li Feng with a sneer, "Didn’t expect I would be here, huh? Too bad for you, I’ve discovered your secret. Keeping the flag flying at home while picking flowers outside, you’re quite something!"

"Just got home, and already out to book a room, impressive."

Li Feng looked at Dongfang Liang, "Are you done? If you’re done, can you move aside?" After speaking, he pushed past Dongfang Liang toward the elevator.

Dongfang Liang was practically livid with anger. Wasn’t Li Feng supposed to be begging for mercy after being caught in such a compromising situation?

"You’ve been caught by me, and you still talk to me like this? Do you believe I’ll send the video to Wang Qian, show her your true, ugly face?"

"But, I’m giving you a chance now. Leave Wang Qian on your own, and I won’t expose you."

Li Feng arrived at the elevator doors, turned his head to the incessantly babbling Dongfang Liang, "You’re giving me a chance?"

"Go ahead and send it if you want. Let’s see if she’ll leave me."

"Don’t be so childish. Wouldn’t it be better to ’study hard and improve every day’?" Li Feng patted Dongfang Liang’s shoulder and stepped into the elevator.

"You... I’ll really send it now."

"Suit yourself."

Dongfang Liang watched Li Feng’s indifferent face with clenched teeth, fuming with anger. Where did Li Feng get the confidence from? What made him so sure that Wang Qian would tolerate his infidelity?

Li Feng left the Jin Mao Building and drove straight to the Chen Family’s district. Waiting until the time was right, he snuck into the Chen residence once more.

After another session of acupuncture, Chen Qinian’s condition had improved slightly; his mouth could move now, although speaking normally was still a struggle.

"You want to ask about Century Group?"

Li Feng saw Chen Qinian moving his fingers, "Century Group is calm for now, no issues. As long as you recover soon, none of those demons and ghosts will be a problem."

"Thank... thanks..."

"It’s what I should do. Rest well, I’ll be back tomorrow night."

Li Feng removed the silver needles and covered Chen Qinian before leaving the room. He was eager for Chen Qinian to be able to sit up and talk so he wouldn’t have to run over for acupuncture treatments every night.

Chen Muyang hadn’t made an appearance in a few days; the fellow had been too quiet.

Instead of returning home to Tang Chen First Grade, Li Feng went back to his room at the Pearl Hotel. There was no second round, just him sitting on a chair and dozing off.

Hmm!

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight pierced through the curtains onto the bed, where the dozing girl opened her eyes, her head still buzzing.

Where am I?

The girl struggled to sit up, her mind a total fog, when she suddenly raised her eyes and saw the chair where someone was sitting.

"Morning!"

"Ah!"

The girl let out a piercing scream—at least eight octaves high, enough to burst an eardrum.

"What’s wrong? What’s wrong?"

Zhou Zhishan also woke with a start, sitting upright on the bed as the blanket slid off her.

"Pervert."
