Ren Feng took the invitation and glanced at it.
"So it's from the Sima Family. Didn't expect your young master would invite over. I thought my reputation in Yanjing was that everyone wanted a piece of ."
"How could that be." The servant forced a smile.
"Alright, I'll accept."
"Very well, then we'll await your honored presence."
The man left, and Ren Feng also pushed open the door. Liou Rui still hadn't co back.
He looked at the invitation again. It said it was a family banquet.
Ren Feng shook his head. People in Yanjing were interesting—whether there was sothing going on or not, they had to hold a banquet, just like those bloated bureaucratic institutions that have to hold a eting no matter what.
He tossed the invitation aside. The ti was tomorrow night; there was still a whole day.
Seeing that Rui hadn't returned, Ren Feng started making dinner himself. His cooking wasn't bad either.
By the ti dinner was ready, Liou Rui happened to push the door open and co in. Seeing the neatly arranged small dishes on the table, along with candles and red wine, she couldn't help but be stunned for a mont.
"You're back? Tired?"
Ren Feng walked over from the side and gently helped her take off her coat.
"Hehe, little brother, are you trying to butter big sis up again?" Liou Rui shot Ren Feng a sultry look, though she was obviously very pleased.
"Rui, when it cos to you, do I still need to 'butter you up'?"
Ren Feng smiled.
Just that short sentence, combined with her lip-licking motion, and Ren Feng felt she had teased him again.
"Alright then, Rui, if you're willing, maybe we can try sothing else."
"Knew it, you little bastard never have any good intentions."
Liou Rui smiled and sat down on the chair. Ren Feng pulled the chair out for her, then sat down and poured the wine.
"Why are you back so late?"
"Because I thought you'd be spending the night at that little starlet's place, and wouldn't be needing big sis, of course."
Ren Feng couldn't help laughing and crying. "Alright, Rui, I'm asking seriously."
"Seriously, I'm busy of course. The Liou Family is a huge monster; it's not easy for to bring it down."
Ren Feng nodded. "It's fine, take it slow. Oh right, I got an invitation from Sima Lang today. There's a family banquet tomorrow night. Do you want to co with ?"
"I won't go. going to a place like that would just be asking for boredom, wouldn't it?" Liou Rui rested her cheek on her hand in a charming pose, looking at Ren Feng. With the red wine in her, she looked even more alluring.
Ren Feng nodded. "Then I'll go by myself. Also, tomorrow night… I have a feeling this banquet won't be simple. No such thing as a 'good' banquet."
"It's fine. Since when have you ever been afraid of anything? Ever since I t you, you've never been scared of anyone."
"I have. I've been scared."
"What have you been scared of?" Liou Rui giggled.
Ren Feng said seriously, "I've been scared of you."
"Scared of ?" Liou Rui looked at Ren Feng curiously. "Little brother, you're actually scared of ?"
"Of course. 'The land of tenderness is the grave of heroes'—and you are my land of tenderness."
Liou Rui burst into tinkling laughter, her body trembling like flowers in the wind. "You really know how to talk."
Seeing Ren Feng very obviously swallow a mouthful of saliva, Liou Rui rolled her eyes at him. "So, little brother, do you want a reward?"
"I do!"
"Knew it, you little bastard, always having dirty thoughts."
...
The next day, when Ren Feng opened his eyes, Liou Rui had already gone out. When it ca to work, she was even more demanding than Xia Wenxue.
Climbing out of bed, just as Ren Feng was about to get up, his phone rang.
"Feng! Things are looking a bit bad." Chen Fenghuo's tone was extrely grim.
Ren Feng's heart sank at once. "Sothing happened over in Western Europe?"
"Not yet for the mont, but according to Catherine's intel, several major powers in Western Europe have their eyes on us, and they've been moving a lot. Even so local gangs on our turf are mobilizing their n. I feel sothing big is coming. Wind God Hall is already on full alert; all our people are pulling back."
Ren Feng's expression grew sowhat solemn. He hadn't expected it to escalate this fast.
"Feng, this ti it's really 'the mountain rain is about to co and the wind fills the building.' I can feel that, for Wind God Hall, it's going to be very hard to get through this."
Ren Feng nodded. "I'll head to Western Europe before the end of this week. You guys hold on for now."
"I know. It's just that we've also dug up another piece of bad news."
"What news?"
"The organization is making moves too. It seems to be related to the United Kingdom. In a few days, the princess is coming to Spain for a trip."
"What's that got to do with us?" Ren Feng asked.
"A lot." Chen Fenghuo's tone was extrely serious. "Her travel destination is right within our sphere of influence."
"What?"
Ren Feng was stunned. He could sll the stink of a conspiracy from this.
"We don't have a specific plan yet. For now, all we can do is send people to protect her when the ti cos," Chen Fenghuo said.
Ren Feng took a deep breath. It looked like the situation in Western Europe was about to blow up.
"Feng, how are things on your side?"
"I'm in Yanjing right now. The situation is a bit ssy too, and I can't get away yet. Once I finish up here, I'll head to Europe imdiately—this week at the latest," Ren Feng said.
"Alright, Feng, then make sure you get here as soon as you can when the ti cos."
After hanging up, Ren Feng's face was still heavy. He hadn't expected that in just a few days, the other side would make so many moves. It seed the organization had joined forces with other powers and set a trap for Wind God Hall.
Even so, Ren Feng still couldn't pull himself away right now. The threat from the Liou Family was still there, and in a few days it would be Mo Yuqi's concert.
It seed he had to first cow the Liou Family into submission before he could safely leave Yanjing. Otherwise, even with Dragon Group's protection, they would eventually make a move on Liou Rui.
Ren Feng had already made up his mind inside; he needed to find an opening.
After getting up and having breakfast, with nothing else to do, Ren Feng went to watch Mo Yuqi's rehearsal.
He stayed with Mo Yuqi for a day, and after confirming that Su Xin hadn't co to cause trouble again, Ren Feng left.
Ti quickly approached seven in the evening. Ren Feng headed to the place written on Sima Lang's invitation.
Though Sima Lang called it a family banquet, the scale of this "family banquet" was even higher than that night at the Emperor Heaven Hotel.
It was set in a very famous manor in the northern part of Yanjing.
When he arrived at the entrance, Ren Feng found that several of Yanjing's young masters were already there chatting. The mont they saw him, they all turned to look his way.
"Isn't that the Ren Feng from the other night?"
"It really is him. What's he doing here?"
