Chapter 428: Chapter 428: When I Become a Dog of the Dongfang Family

Heavenly Palace.

Li Feng was no stranger to this place, having visited before, and made his way to the entrance of the Heavenly Palace without hesitation. The person who had delivered the invite that morning was already waiting, and upon seeing Li Feng, he walked straight over.

"Mr. Ding is waiting for you inside, please follow me."

Li Feng was led to a private room in the club: "Mr. Ding is inside, please go ahead."

The room was enormous, at least a hundred square meters, and the decor was the pinnacle of luxury. A huge carpet with a peony pattern lay in the center, with a round table on it.

The table was large enough to accommodate at least a dozen people for a meal without feeling crowded, but at the moment, only Dongfang Ding was seated there.

"Sit."

Dongfang Ding watched as Li Feng looked around upon entering and snorted inwardly, thinking that this country bumpkin had probably never seen such extravagance.

He had thoroughly investigated Li Feng’s background. For someone at his level, checking up on a person was as easy as playing a game.

Li Feng’s background was quite intriguing. He had a mother but no father. Raised by his grandfather after his mother passed away, he dropped out after high school, and his records indicated an eight-year gap.

However, there was a mark on his record for a past offense, apparently for getting into a fight. By the time he appeared again, he had married into the Zhang Family of Huacheng, becoming the son-in-law of a minor family.

A single parent, fatherless.

Dongfang Ding couldn’t help but think about Chen Qinian’s actions at last night’s banquet. Could this guy be Chen Qinian’s illegitimate son?

Otherwise, why would Chen Qinian be so good to him? Entrusting a stranger with his legacy, wasn’t he afraid of handing over his empire to someone else at a bargain?

There must be a reasonable explanation for this unreasonableness. For example, if Li Feng was related by blood to Chen Qinian, it would make perfect sense. The flesh remained within his own pot.

At least why he didn’t acknowledge family ties, but rather brotherhood, is also understandable. Probably with not much time left, suddenly having an extra son would only add trouble.

"Where are my people?"

Li Feng pulled out a chair and sat down, cutting straight to the chase.

"They are fine. Let’s have dinner first, and after dinner, you’ll naturally get to see them," Dongfang Ding replied, snapping his fingers to signal the waiter to serve dinner.

Soon, a sumptuous dinner was presented on the table.

Dongfang Ding waved the waiters away, and after a moment, only the two of them remained in the vast room. Dongfang Ding stood up, took a bottle of Moutai, poured two glasses, and came over to Li Feng, offering him a glass.

"We might as well be friends through conflict, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Dongfang Ding, my father is Dongfang Wenzheng, also the second largest shareholder of Century Group."

"Heh, I’ll pass on the drink. Let’s just talk about your purpose here."

Li Feng said.

Dongfang Ding looked at Li Feng who refused the drink and smiled faintly: "Don’t be too blunt in life, or you’ll end up without friends. You’ve already offended the executives of Century Group yesterday. Now, rejecting me as well—is that wise?"

"Heh, so I’ve offended them, what’s the big deal?"

Dongfang Ding looked at the simple-minded Li Feng, truly a brusque brute without much education.

"Li Feng, do you really think that just because Uncle Chen took you as his sworn brother, and even wants his future child to consider you a godfather, that you’ll naturally be able to take over the management of the Century Group?"

"Heh, don’t be naive."

Dongfang Ding drained a glass of Moutai in one go, then looked at Li Feng with scorn, "What qualifications do you have to lead Century Group? Do you even understand what a trillion is?"

"You probably don’t even know how many companies Century Group has or how many employees work there. Let me make it clear to you, as long as Uncle Chen is around, Century Group carries the Chen surname. If Uncle Chen is gone, Century Group will carry the Dongfang surname."

Li Feng chuckled, "Chairman Chen isn’t dead yet, you’re thinking too much."

Dongfang Ding looked down at Li Feng, "Uncle Chen probably won’t live much longer. Although he looked quite well yesterday, that was probably just a dying flash of energy."

"Otherwise, why would he hastily make a will and make such a big deal out of it, inviting a whole heap of media?"

"You must have seen today’s news, right? You are now the hot search headline, ’Century Group’s godfather’, heh, quite the unique fame for the moment."

"But do you think you’re capable of shouldering this burden?"

"Stop deluding yourself. One needs to be self-aware to live well."

Having said that, Dongfang Ding continued,

"After Uncle Chen dies, as long as you know what’s good for you and voluntarily hand over your shares, my dad said that you won’t be shortchanged of what you deserve, enough to squander for several lifetimes."

"Heh, those shares are just held in trust by me, they’re not really mine."

Dongfang Ding curled his lip.

"Enough, there are no outsiders here, why put up an act? Do you really plan to hand over Century Group to that unborn child? Besides, it’s still uncertain whether Han Xue will even be able to give birth to that child."

Li Feng looked up at Dongfang Ding.

"Don’t look at me like that. Don’t forget, the Chen Family still has Chen Muyang. Although Chen Muyang has become a eunuch, he’s still Uncle Chen’s biological son. Now that you, an outsider, have usurped power, members of the Chen Family within the group will definitely not continue their infighting but will support Chen Muyang."

"Without my Dongfang Family, you couldn’t secure your position, not to mention you don’t have the ability to hold it."

"Moreover, with no power, no status, no connections, no background, what do you plan to fight with, your life?"

Dongfang Ding sat down on the table, pushed three glasses in front of Li Feng, and then filled them with Moutai.

"Seize the opportunity. Drink these three glasses and apologize to me. I’ll let bygones be bygones. Afterwards, you’ll be a dog for the Dongfang Family, but you won’t be short on benefits."

Li Feng looked at the glass in front of him, picked one up, and eyed it with interest.

"What makes you so sure I’ll become a dog for the Dongfang Family?"

"Heh, it’s not the first time. We’re all adults here. I’ve inquired about your past."

"When you married into the Zhang Family, that girl from the Zhang Family had an affair with the young master from the Sihai Group. You got kicked out, and in your quest for revenge, didn’t you serve as a dog for the Xiong Family?"

"Heh, you don’t really think it was your own ability that brought down the Zhang Family and Sihai Group, do you?"

"I’m not here to belittle you, but do you measure up?"

"People like you are born to serve as dogs. The fact that you could marry into the Zhang Family shows you have no dignity. You were cuckolded and bore it all quietly. If it weren’t for Zhang Xue kicking you out, you probably wouldn’t have had the courage to bite back at the Zhang Family."

"There’s a saying, ’a cornered dog will leap over a wall.’"

"But don’t worry, if you behave this time, my family won’t treat you poorly. Just giving you a few hundred million should be enough for you to live comfortably for several lifetimes."

"You wouldn’t still be coveting more, would you? Wake up. Don’t be greedy, or you’ll choke—just like a snake that tries to swallow an elephant. You might end up dead, after all, what you hold in your hands is what’s truly yours. This concept isn’t hard to understand."

Otherwise, you’ve only got one life, right? Every year in Sea City, hundreds, if not thousands of people go missing.
