(The is 618, the Chapter numbering was incorrect, please do not mind.)
Wan Bin said to Wan Hua, and they quickly ran back to the car, driving away from the place.
"Boss, leave these kinds of characters to me from now on!"
Qian Duoduo said to Xiao Yifeng.
"It seems bringing you along to show off is indeed quite effective!"
A smile tinged Xiao Yifeng’s face.
"You don’t need to show off, Boss; you’re the real deal!"
Qian Duoduo pursed his lips.
Xiao Yifeng glared at Qian Duoduo, who quickly realized his mistake and hastened to say, "I mean... I misspoke, Boss. You’re not just the real deal; you’re incredibly awesome!"
"Dare to talk nonsense again, and I’ll use a needle to seal your mouth!"
"Boss, hurry up and get in the car. I arranged this motorcade especially for you. How about it, pretty impressive, right?"
"Why make such a big deal out of it? I’m not the president of the country. Besides, do you want everyone to know I’m in Yanjing, so they can easily deal with me?"
Xiao Yifeng said indifferently.
Qian Duoduo was left speechless.
"Alright, get in the car. Let’s go eat first!"
Xiao Yifeng added, his gaze shifting to Zhang Xinlan who hadn’t yet recovered from the recent events, and said, "Xinlan, get in the car!"
Zhang Xinlan was slightly taken aback.
"Of course, we’re going to eat. Didn’t you say you would treat me to a meal? Have you forgotten already?"
Xiao Yifeng said with a smile.
Zhang Xinlan said awkwardly.
"Boss, isn’t that the beautiful flight attendant from the plane last time? You’ve hooked up with her so quickly? Boss, your skills in wooing girls are seriously impressive!"
Qian Duoduo glanced at Zhang Xinlan and said admiringly.
"What nonsense are you spouting? She’s my sister! We’ve known each other from before!"
Xiao Yifeng glared at Qian Duoduo.
"Oh, I see. It usually starts with recognizing each other as siblings, and then it becomes..."
Qian Duoduo showed a sleazy, lecherous expression.
Xiao Yifeng kicked him, nearly sending the heavy Qian Duoduo flying.
SUBSEQUENTLY, the group boarded a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and the luxurious motorcade arrived at a five-star hotel in Yanjing.
Qian Duoduo led Xiao Yifeng and his party into one of the hotel’s luxurious private rooms.
"This is so extravagant. Brother Little Feeng, I..."
Zhang Xinlan’s face changed upon seeing the luxurious private room, and she appeared noticeably uneasy.
"You thought I was actually going to let you pay? With this rich Young Master here, you don’t have to worry about the bill!"
Xiao Yifeng said with a smile.
"Yeah, I’ve got this meal covered. Eat whatever you like, as much as you like, order the most expensive stuff!"
Qian Duoduo, playing the tycoon, generously declared.
Xiao Yifeng holding the menu, ordered more than a dozen of the most expensive dishes and a bottle of wine worth over a hundred thousand. The meal cost him nearly half a million.
Sitting beside Xiao Yifeng, Zhang Xinlan asked, "Brother Little Feeng, where have you been all these years? And auntie, how is she doing now?"
A shadow of sorrow flitted across Xiao Yifeng’s eyes as he replied, "I’ve been abroad these past few years. My mother... she’s been dead for a long time."
"What? Aunt passed away?"
Zhang Xinlan’s face changed as she said, "Brother Little Feeng, I’m sorry, I didn’t know!"
Xiao Yifeng smiled and shook his head.
"By the way, Xinlan, how have you been these years, and Grandpa Zhang, how is he now?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Zhang Xinlan and asked.
"Grandpa and I are alright; though he hasn’t stayed with the Xiao Family these years, he served your grandfather for over a decade, so the Xiao Family hasn’t treated us badly,"
"That’s good to hear. If anything ever comes up, you can come straight to me!"
Xiao Yifeng said directly.
"Brother Little Feeng, what brings you to Yanjing? Are you returning to the Xiao Family?"
With a soft smile and a shake of his head, Xiao Yifeng said, "I won’t be returning to the Xiao Family for the time being."
"Alright, let’s eat!"
As Xiao Yifeng spoke, the group began to eat, and the one who ate the most was none other than Qijie, who feasted voraciously.
An hour later, after finishing the meal, Zhang Xinlan left first.
"Did you find out about the matter I asked you to look into?"
Xiao Yifeng’s gaze shifted to Qian Duoduo.
"Boss, how could I not handle something you asked me to do? I’ve found the location, but are you sure you want to do this? If you go through with it, you’ll be making an irreconcilable enemy of the Yaan Family,"
"The Yaan Family might not be one of Yanjing’s top clans, but Old Man Yaan is the head of the Yanjing Military Region and has considerable authority and high prestige in the China military; he won’t be easy to deal with!"
Qian Duoduo said to Xiao Yifeng, her brow slightly furrowed.
"What? Are you scared now?"
Xiao Yifeng gave Qian Duoduo a teasing smile.
"I’m not scared. When it comes to money, I could crush the Yaan Family a thousand times over. Although they aren’t part of the Eight Great Families of Yanjing, they’re still among the very top outside of those families. If you do this, I’m afraid it’s going to be a huge deal, and it’ll shake the whole of Yanjing!"
Qian Duoduo said gravely.
"Let it be huge then, the bigger, the better. I, Xiao Yifeng, am not afraid of making a big scene; the more uproarious, the better!"
Xiao Yifeng said with a cold smirk, his eyes shining with sharpness.
"Regardless, I support you, Boss!"
Qian Duoduo said firmly.
"You, the distinguished Young Master of the Qian Family, are willing to follow me; don’t you feel it’s beneath you and unsatisfying?"
Xiao Yifeng fixed his gaze on Qian Duoduo.
"Because I know, Boss, you won’t be ordinary. By following you now, I might even bask in your glory later on,"
Qian Duoduo said with a grin.
"Since you’re willing to follow me, I won’t say much else. If you ever need me, feel free to speak up. I’m ruthless to my enemies, but I’m also good to my own people!"
In Yanjing, inside a high-end villa district, a shadowy figure appeared, and it was Xiao Yifeng.
At that moment, Xiao Yifeng arrived outside a three-story villa. With a scan of his x-ray vision, he saw everything inside the villa clearly.
All the members of the Shen Family were gathered within this villa. In a room on the second floor, Shen Yuting was sitting, painting. The subject of her painting was Xiao Yifeng.
After a flurry of brush strokes, Xiao Yifeng’s portrait was brought to life.
Staring at the painting, Shen Yuting became somewhat lost in thought and murmured softly,
"Why do I think of you at this moment? Could it be that I’ve fallen for you? What a pity that we’re destined but not fated, if neither of us were betrothed, perhaps you would’ve been a good choice!"
As she spoke, a hint of regret appeared on Shen Yuting’s face.
And all of Shen Yuting’s words had been overheard by Xiao Yifeng’s x-ray vision.
