Outside the old residence of the Nangong Family, a domineering Range Rover sat parked. In the passenger seat, Jian Yu leaned against the headrest, eyes closed, in an attempt to calm his lingering rage.
While starting the car, Qiangzi, having hastily bandaged his wounds, turned to Jian Yu and said, "Young Master Jian, we can't let today's incident slide!"
"Of course we can't let it slide! I'm going to chop that Jiang bastard into pieces and feed him to the dogs!" Jian Yu opened his eyes, his face twisted in fury.
Then, he pulled out his phone and called his father, who was far away at the Binhai Glory Hotel.
The Binhai Glory Hotel is one of the highest-standard five-star hotels in Binhai City. Only the wealthy or noble could dine here, and tonight, there was a grand appreciation banquet taking place.
As the chairman of the Jian Group, Jian Hongsheng invited a few leaders from the city's land management departments for a meal.
During the day, Jian Hongsheng had obtained a very important approval document from these leaders, signifying the official entry of the Jian Group into the real estate industry. And it wouldn't be an outdated bubble property but involve the development of a new school district. Once handled well, the Jian Group could earn billions effortlessly.
Jian Hongsheng frequently toasted the leaders present, without any airs of one of Binhai's top ten wealthiest individuals. His title as Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce further facilitated his smooth interactions with the leaders, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
Suddenly, the phone rang, prompting Jian Hongsheng, who was in the middle of a flamboyant conversation with a head of a land bureau, to put down his wine glass. Glancing at his son's call, he smiled apologetically and said, "Excuse me, I need to take this call."
"Please go ahead, President Jian." The head of the bureau dabbed the corners of his mouth with a napkin, maintaining a casual demeanor.
Taking the opportunity to excuse himself to the restroom, Jian Hongsheng stepped outside to answer the call, "What is it?"
"Jian Hongsheng, your son got humiliated, and you're still in the mood to drink with others?" On the other end of the line, Jian Yu, feeling humiliated like a young lion, complained to the fierce big lion.
"What's wrong?" Jian Hongsheng's brow furrowed, "Things didn't go well at the Nangong Family tonight?"
Jian Hongsheng knew his son planned to visit the Nangong Family tonight with gifts to celebrate a birthday. Although he believed the little girl from the Nangong Family was not suitable for his son, with incompatible family backgrounds, he couldn't stop his son from being smitten and let him go.
At worst, after taking her, he could fool around for a while, and discard her when bored. He never denied his son's desires.
"Not just went wrong, your son got beaten up! He was thrown out of the gate like a dog! I've never been so humiliated in my life!" Jian Yu got angrier as he spoke, wanting to shout into the phone!
"Who hit you?" Jian Hongsheng's expression finally changed as he coldly asked.
"Who else? I don't even want to mention that bastard's name, it's the wild son-in-law Jiang Feng from the Nangong Family!" Jian Yu seethed with hatred.
"Him?" Jian Hongsheng furrowed his brow, "Didn't you say he'd disappeared? Why did he appear at the birthday banquet?"
"Jian Hongsheng, I don't care what it takes, I want that Jiang guy dead! And besides that, I want the entire Nangong Family annihilated. Every one of them must beg for food; they should have no place in Binhai!" Jian Yu roared.
"Alright, I'll personally call Nangong Honghu and ask him what happened. If he doesn't give me a satisfactory answer, I will not let this go!" Jian Hongsheng said in a deep voice.
"It's not about just making a call! Don't you understand what I mean? Even if that old bastard Nangong Honghu kneels and begs me now, it won't ease the hatred in my heart! I want him to be unable to live or die!" Jian Yu roared!
Jian Hongsheng thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, I will give you a satisfactory resolution to this—but for now, go home immediately and don't cause any more trouble outside!"
Even though he was overly indulgent of his son, obtaining that land approval during increasingly strict policy times wasn't easy. He didn't want any mishaps at this critical juncture.
In the Range Rover, Jian Yu snorted as he hung up the phone. Gaining his father's promise, his anger had significantly subsided.
"Drive! Old Jian promised to back me, that Jiang bastard doesn't have long to strut around. Find a place for me to vent! Oh, right, that girl we found last time who's in need of money, what was she called, the 'Commoner Milk Tea Girl', get her out tonight. I may not tame Nangong Qingcheng tonight, but finding a passable substitute will do."
"Got it, Young Master Jian! I'll arrange it right away!"
Qiangzi, exuberantly, pulled out his phone to make the arrangements.
Being a toadie around Jian Yu, he knew that Jian Yu's father, Jian Hongsheng, had amassed a great business over the years, with a number of henchmen at his disposal, some even with criminal records. Any one of them would be enough to give that Jiang Feng a tough time.
As for that so-called commoner, campus belle Liu Shiyuan, she was simply unlucky and destined to be ravaged by Young Master Jian tonight!
Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng had been in the old man's room for over an hour before the old man let them leave.
Old Man Nangong was indeed worried about Jiang Feng being retaliated against, contemplating whether to use his connections to call Jian Hongsheng. But then again, he thought it would be useless. If Jian Hongsheng was petty enough to seek revenge for his son, making a call would be pointless.
The box of twenty-year-old Changbai Mountain Ginseng sent by Jian Yu was ultimately taken by Jiang Feng at Nangong Honghu's insistence, and Jiang Feng did not refuse.
He needed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to regain his powers, and ginseng was one such treasure.
The Devouring Sky Demon Technique relied on absorbing the vitality and essence of other items, converting them into Demonic Qi for personal use.
The more Demonic Qi absorbed into the Dantian, the faster the power increased, and the stronger one became!
As he left the old residence, Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng didn't exchange words, preparing to get in the car and head back to their place.
Suddenly, Jiang Feng sensed someone in a dark Hummer across the street, lights off, watching him intently.
The person thought they were well hidden, even parking in a shadow where streetlights couldn't reach, but they couldn't escape Jiang Feng's keen eyes.
"You head back first, I'm going to buy cigarettes, don't wait for me."
Jiang Feng said calmly to Nangong Qingcheng, and without waiting for her response, he turned around and walked away.
Nangong Qingcheng frowned, feeling somewhat speechless!
This guy was as willful as ever, never giving anyone a chance to speak.
It seemed she had overthought, believing that after his month-long disappearance and suffering many hardships, he might have matured a bit, but his nature remained unchanged!
Nangong Qingcheng had had enough of Jiang Feng's previous behavior of drinking, getting drunk, and smoking to drown his sorrows. In a fit of anger, she didn't wait for him, got in the car, and drove away in a cloud of dust.
