"Life is short, why overthink?" Leng Qiuge smiled and said, "Just enjoy it while you can."
Leng Feilong hesitated but then smiled wryly and nodded, "Then we’ll do as Miss says, the Leng Family will make a move and add fuel to Ye Xuan’s fire."
"Uncle Leng, you’re mistaken again," Leng Qiuge laughed, "The Leng Family’s move is simply because we can’t stand the Wang Family, it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Leng Feilong smiled without responding, but couldn’t help sighing in his heart.
What kind of allure does that kid Ye Xuan have to make Miss so infatuated?
It’s been two months, keeping tabs on Ye Xuan’s every move has almost beco Leng Feilong’s daily job, right down to how many tis he’s been to the bathroom.
Leng Feilong wanted to say, if you can’t let go, why not go back and find him? If that’s not possible, let him co to you, right?
Won, so complicated!
As if rembering sothing, Leng Feilong suddenly said, "Ye Xuan is still in Barcelona. For breakfast, he had a sandwich, for lunch, he had Yan Country cuisine. He left the hotel once and bought two packs of cigarettes—local Barcelona brands, priced at two euros each..."
Leng Qiuge listened without saying a word.
When Leng Feilong finished, Leng Qiuge nonchalantly curled her lips, "Uncle Leng, how many tis have I told you? Don’t ntion him in front of , I’ve already declared war on him unilaterally!"
Leng Feilong felt like crying without tears, Miss, I don’t believe a word of it!
You say that every day, and the first ti I believed you, I skipped reporting to you for a day, and mysteriously ca down with a three-day stomachache. If you say that wasn’t your doing, even a fool wouldn’t believe it!
Won, not just complicated, but hypocritical too!
Of course, Leng Feilong was a professional and wouldn’t voice his grievances.
He smiled again and said, "Mr. Carter is hosting a party tonight, inviting many tycoons in Barcelona, and you’re invited too, Miss."
Leng Qiuge: "Not going."
Leng Feilong laughed, "Ye Xuan and his wife will be attending."
Leng Qiuge: "Not my problem."
Leng Feilong laughed and said nothing more, knowing that Miss would go.
Because she only said, "Not my problem," and didn’t actually say... not going.
Yanzi City, snowflakes danced again.
In the private hospital of the Wang Family.
Wang Qianjun lay on the hospital bed, unconscious with an oxygen mask, his face pale and haggard. In less than a day’s ti, he looked as if he had aged by a dozen years.
Clearly, that cough of blood had severely hard him.
Through the hospital’s best efforts, Wang Qianjun finally awoke slowly under the watchful eyes of key Wang Family mbers.
"Sir, you’re finally awake!" soone exclaid joyfully.
Wang Qianjun weakly nodded, his shattered spirit being slightly comforted, at least understanding that there were people who cared about him in this world.
However, the barrage of voices that followed made Wang Qianjun realize how naive he had been.
"Sir, bad news! The Leng Family suddenly attacked, and our overseas businesses have suffered unprecedented damage!"
"Sir, the Wang Family is in complete chaos now, many are clamoring for a split and fleeing, so youngsters even fought over tens of thousands of yuan!"
"Sir, you must rise and lead us, the Wang Family can’t do without you!"
"..."
Listening to the cacophony, Wang Qianjun’s eyes widened, his earlier weakness and relief entirely vanishing, replaced by a beast-like fury.
More like the last gleam of a spent arrow.
Thud!
Wang Qianjun shuddered, and a mouthful of blood uncontrollably surged out, staining the bed.
Then, everything turned black.
Wang Qianjun once again fell into unconsciousness.
In the fleeting mont before losing consciousness, his heart roared madly.
"Ye Xuan!"
"Leng Qiuge!"
"Damn you all!"
...
Barcelona, dusk was falling.
In the city’s most luxurious hotel, a grand banquet had begun.
Ye Xuan donned an expensive suit and, alongside Lin Tong holding little Cloud, headed to the event.
By now, the lavish banquet hall was filled with figures, mostly unfamiliar Federation faces.
This isn’t surprising.
Ye Xuan, the battlefield king, had spent years in combat and rarely engaged with businesspeople, and none here were exceptions. While they might know Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan surely didn’t know them.
Lin Tong was even less acquainted. Although an extraordinarily capable businesswoman, the Lin Family was a minor player, and without Ye Xuan, she, as the Black Emperor’s wife, likely would never have attended such an event.
Four words.
A gathering of giants!
However, Ye Xuan and Lin Tong had no intention of mingling with these people. Truth be told, they were there out of respect for Carter, but even more so for a woman on their minds.
Upon arriving, the two instinctively scanned the room, yet they didn’t spot that familiar figure.
"Hey, Mr. Black Emperor, Mrs. Black Emperor, welco!" an enthusiastic voice greeted.
The couple refocused and turned towards the voice. Before them stood an exceptionally handso man, tall and elegant, exuding a comforting aura—Carter, the construction industry’s world-class magnate.
"Mr. Carter," Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Saying welco is too formal. We’re friends, and in Yan Country, friends don’t stand on ceremony."
"Oh, that was my mistake," Carter chuckled. "Haha, then I’ll say you’re not welco and please enjoy the food and drink tonight, how’s that?"
"That’s more like it!" Ye Xuan laughed heartily.
Lin Tong also smiled, gratefully looking at Carter, "Mr. Carter, it’s thanks to your help this ti. I won’t say thank you, but in the future, if there’s a chance, Eastern Group will spare no efforts. Of course, given the strength of the Carter Family, Eastern Group might never get the chance to help."
"You’re too modest, Mrs. Black Emperor," Carter said. "You’re now alongside the Black Emperor—his power is no less than ours. When I first t Mr. Black Emperor, I even considered introducing my sister to him, only for you to beat to it after such a short ti."
"Oh, really?" Lin Tong chuckled, "I hadn’t noticed before how popular he is."
"Won are emotional creatures and can’t resist a powerful man. It’s fitting that Mr. Black Emperor is the strongest man in the world."
Carter laughed, "Honestly, in my life, Mr. Black Emperor is the only one I’ve truly admired. Although my appearance is glamorous, it’s simply luck being born into the Carter Family. Mr. Black Emperor genuinely climbed to his position with his strength!"
