Chapter 701: 701

Over ten trillion.

Even for these successful individuals, the business elite, such a figure was an unreachable height.

Sea City, as the window of Yan Country and the most economically developed super first-tier city, had only a handful of groups that reached this level, which is why there was talk of the top ten groups in Sea City.

So, ten trillion really was a lot, otherwise, Li Feng’s incident wouldn’t have gone straight to the trending searches, becoming a huge event that shocked Sea City, nor would there have been so many people who preferred to believe that the other party was just a pretty boy, who became chairman only by relying on a woman.

Huacheng, just two hundred kilometers in a straight line from Sea City, could be reached in less than an hour and a half by highway between the two cities.

Even though Li Feng was very low-key, the name of the Hidden Dragon had already spread. However, this Hidden Dragon, Li Feng, always stayed behind the scenes, rarely ever making an appearance. So many people of insufficient status only heard his name without ever seeing him in person—this Hidden Dragon was indeed like an elusive dragon.

Naturally, in their subconscious, no one associated this Li Feng with the Hidden Dragon.

When someone revealed the secret, it left those business tycoons who had heard legend of the Hidden Dragon, one by one, with their eyes wide and gasping in shock.

"He is the Hidden Dragon of Huacheng."

"He’s actually so young, truly unexpected. It’s said that this Hidden Dragon, Li Feng, is a super sugar daddy, controlling the four big banks of Huacheng," someone gasped deeply, obviously also shocked.

Among the crowd, there were also some businessmen with ties to Huacheng, who naturally knew more about the Hidden Dragon.

"Huacheng has its Four Kings, who manage the four big banks of Huacheng. These banks conceal immense wealth, any one of which can produce several billion in cash at a moment’s notice. And these four big banks are actually this Hidden Dragon’s piggy bank. In Huacheng, people seek money not from banks, because the banks don’t have as much money as these Four Kings."

"Holy shit, for real? I’m familiar with the four big banks of Huacheng. I borrowed fifty million from them before. The interest rate was about the same as the bank’s, but the key thing is they disburse funds wicked fast. As long as there’s collateral, the contract is signed, and the money is in your account the same day."

"I’ve heard that many banks finance their operations by borrowing from the big four banks," another proprietor added.

As the phrase "Hidden Dragon of Huacheng" spread, the entire engagement ceremony was abuzz with discussion.

As more and more information was dug up, an increasing number of people began to look at Li Feng with awe and reverence.

Damn, we thought he was just a sheep, but who would have guessed he was actually a tiger in sheep’s clothing, and the kind that doesn’t hesitate to don a sheepskin to play the part.

Moreover, as some people began to suspect that the previous public opinion was intentionally manipulated, in combination with the reputation of this Crown Prince as the Hidden Dragon.

Suddenly, there were feelings of wild frustration.

Perhaps it was all intentional, to make everyone think he was just living off a woman, so that he could disguise his true strength.

"Ah, no wonder the young master of the Baili Family had to kneel."

"Although the Baili Family is just a second-tier family, they are still worth over a hundred billion. To us, that’s already a mountain. Yet, the young master of such a Baili Family knelt before the Hidden Dragon. Heh, what does that tell you!"

Someone laughed self-deprecatingly, the truth always being so cruel.

Many of those present today were from the jewelry industry, which is also a luxury sector. The Wanfu Jewelry Group of the Pei Family also had a market value of over a hundred billion. Among them, there were not a few rich individuals, but those with assets reaching a hundred billion were few and far between.

Most had net worths in the millions or tens of millions—already considered wealthy and superior in the eyes of many. But in the eyes of the truly rich, they were probably no different from the poor.

Huo Yongtao, caught in the midst of the whirlpool, heard some of the surrounding discussions, his head buzzing. How could things have turned out like this?

Chu Wei, you’ve screwed me over. Huo Yongtao quickly realized he had made a monumental mistake.

Huo Yongtao had not been back in the country for long, and before that, he had left Sea City for over a decade. Since he was seven or eight years old, Huo Yongtao had been living abroad, and his departure from Yan Country was not for studying abroad but because he was forced to leave. As a result, although Huo Yongtao lived comfortably over the years, he faced considerable hardships.

Especially when he left Yan Country, he still remembered the glory of the Huo Family; at that time, the Huo Family was on par with the Eight Families of Sea City, drawing on the halo of their ancestral Grandmaster. The Huo Family held a high position in Sea City, and the Pei Family back then was like a child in front of them.

That’s why, after returning to the country, Huo Yongtao had been constantly scheming to restore his family’s glory. But he had been away for too long, and having enemies meant his connection to Yan Country was severely limited. His confidant, Yang Hua, from a boxing school with quite limited contacts, couldn’t contribute much to his revenge. This was why Huo Yongtao had so trusted the recently discovered Chu Wei—he had no other options.

Being his biggest informant, whether Chu Wei was loyal to him, how much truth and how much falsehood were in the information previously told, or what might have been intentionally concealed, he simply could not discern. At least Chu Wei had never told Huo Yongtao that this Li Feng was also the Hidden Dragon of Huacheng, a sugar daddy.

Had he known, he would certainly not have thought of using Li Feng as a pawn, nor would he have thought to use him to achieve his own goals. Now, it turned out he had shot himself in the foot.

The Century Group chairman, coupled with the Hidden Dragon of Huacheng, when these two identities were put together.

Li Feng said he was out of his depth; even saying he was an ant trying to shake a tree was putting it lightly. Huo Yongtao broke into a cold sweat, lost as to how to face the situation.

Li Feng curled his lips into a smile, "How come I don’t see Chu Wei? I forgot to tell you, he once followed me."

Li Feng had barely finished speaking when Huo Yongtao suddenly looked up. Although he had guessed Chu Wei was betraying him, he never imagined his highly relied upon Chu Wei had once been on the other side.

That was truly maddening.

Huo Yongtao’s face turned red, remembering his every action. He had previously thought himself clever, outsmarting Zheng Shan, playing the Lin Family.

But in the end, he realized it was all an illusion. What he thought was only what the other party wanted him to think.

He had been played by the other party, played thoroughly, his supposedly superior intellect turning out to be as foolish as it gets, never suspecting a thing from beginning to end.

"Excuse me."

Pei Shuangxue made her way through the crowd, catching sight of Wang Jin’er in the circle, then Huo Yongtao, and finally the person whispering in Huo Yongtao’s ear.

Could it be that scoundrel?

"Husband."

Thinking of the scoundrel who had just forcibly kissed her, Pei Shuangxue immediately rushed forward, standing in front of Wang Jin’er and glaring fiercely at them.

"Husband, help me teach them both a harsh lesson."
