"Absolutely true."
Wang Qian gritted his teeth and said firmly.
"Young Master Feng, I wouldn't dare say this lightly."
"You, , Wang Xing, Wang Sheng, and Wang Long are known as the Four Kings of Huacheng, all thanks to your support."
"I wouldn't be standing here today without you, Young Master Feng."
"Now, that grandson Wang Xing, he's greedy and lecherous, but he has one redeeming quality, and that's loyalty. Among the Four Kings, you've practically let him fly solo, so while he follows your commands to the letter, he knows very little about your affairs."
"But it's different with the brothers Wang Long and Wang Sheng. These two are educated guys, smart, but they co from ordinary backgrounds. If it weren't for you, Young Master Feng, who brought them in and opened the door for them, they'd be nobodies now."
"Since you left, these two have been using your na to ask for money, claiming it's under your instructions."
"They think I'm easy to fool. If you needed money, Young Master Feng, when have you ever asked through others?"
"I just tricked them a bit, asked them for a password, and they were dumbfounded. As soon as I heard their hesitation, I knew they were trying to scam ."
"The key thing is, I hadn't even hung up the phone when soone barged into my place."
"If it hadn't been for the bodyguard beside and the secret passage in my place, I would've been captured."
"After escaping, I imdiately contacted my subordinates and found out our visible forces in Huacheng were simultaneously attacked, completely wiped out."
"Two security firms and Wang Xing's forces were especially targeted. Very few survived, and Wang Xing's whereabouts are unknown."
"I had no choice but to look out for myself, run out of Huacheng, and hide temporarily, while also having soone keep an eye on the Wang brothers."
"These two have been manipulating the investnt company and private equity under your na, Young Master Feng. Turns out, the company and equity made nurous transactions in a short period."
"Your assets in their hands seem to have been laundered away, yet these two bastards are still living it up openly."
"It seems they think they've grown wings and climbed high, so they don't take you seriously anymore."
Wang Qian narrated all the recent events with clenched teeth.
Li Feng raised his wine glass and sneered.
"You said they're living it up openly?"
"That's right, Young Master Feng. These two haven't been discreet at all, seemingly not worried about you coming back for revenge."
"They've been attending high-society gatherings over the past half-month. Right now, those two bastards are at a famous gathering in Sea City."
"Is that so."
Li Feng downed his glass of wine, stood up from the sofa: "Let's go. I didn't eat much for dinner anyway; let's go check out this high-society gathering."
The open-air garden on the top floor of a high-end business club in Sea City overlooks the banks of the Hong River, an exclusive golden area, where elites and socialites gather.
"Mr. Wang, here's to a successful collaboration."
"Mr. Yu, here's to a successful collaboration. Choosing us, Angel Private Equity, is surely your best choice."
"Haha, I trust you, Mr. Wang, after all, you're friends with Young Master Yang."
"Co on, let's drink to that."
The middle-aged man across picked up his champagne.
"Cheers."
Wang Long raised his champagne, brimming with confidence, clinked glasses with the opposite party, and drank it in one go. At that mont, Mr. Yu noticed a tall, glamorous woman in an evening gown approaching.
Upon seeing her, Mr. Yu promptly "slt and departed," turning away without the slightest hesitation.
Wang Long looked up at the approaching woman, feeling the pressure.
"Sister Mingyue."
Xiao Mingyue gracefully walked up to Wang Long, eyeing him up and down.
"No need to be so nervous. I've always appreciated talented people. Wouldn't mind chatting with a bit, would you?"
Xiao Mingyue smiled at Wang Long, but beneath the polite curve of her lips was a tone that brooked no denial.
The Sea City Demon wasn't renowned for nothing.
Wang Long, of course, had heard of this woman. Her background was mysterious and powerful, with funds in astronomical figures.
"Of course."
Wang Long composed himself. This woman was not one to offend. Even his newly made friends seed to pay her so respect.
"I hear you were once one of the Four Kings of Huacheng."
Wang Long sharply raised his eyes to Xiao Mingyue.
Xiao Mingyue smiled gently: "No need to look at like that. I am still the Sea City Demon, after all. I have no lack of information channels, especially with Huacheng only a couple of hundred kiloters away from Sea City."
Wang Long took a deep breath and looked to Xiao Mingyue: "It's all just talk, being one of the Four Kings or not."
"I just manage a small private equity investnt firm."
"Oh? Managing a private equity firm handling billions isn't exactly small."
Xiao Mingyue said casually: "Alright, enough joking, let's get to the point. I heard your private equity promises an annual interest rate of 20% to investors."
"I'm quite interested in this. If you can convince , perhaps I'll invest a large sum of money for you to manage."
"Really?"
Wang Long's face was a mix of astonishnt and joy, never expecting to catch the eye of the Sea City Demon, a stroke of fortune.
"Of course, but you'll have to convince first."
Xiao Mingyue leaned forward as she spoke, her graceful figure forming an enticing curve. Wang Long couldn't help but swallow.
"This isn't the place to talk. How about we go to a room and discuss in detail?"
Xiao Mingyue stood up from the sofa as she spoke, and Wang Long seed to catch so underlying aning. Did she want him to convince her or... seduce her?
It should be the latter.
Rumor has it, the Sea City Demon is single. Seeing her exquisite and charming figure, seasoned and alluring, she might just be a lonely cougar.
"In that case, I'll be more than happy to oblige."
Wang Long, blinded by desire, thought that if he could spend a night with the Sea City Demon, he'd have sothing to brag about for half his life.
He imdiately stood up, ready to leave with Xiao Mingyue.
But just then.
Fate had its way, and as Wang Long turned, he bumped straight into Li Feng, who was walking towards him. In an instant, Wang Long's pounding heart stopped cold, his once flushed face turned pale.
"In such a hurry, where to?"
"Mind if I join you, Miss Xiao?"
Li Feng smiled at Xiao Mingyue, having not seen her for a while, she was as bright and captivating as ever.
Xiao Mingyue slightly twitched her lips upon seeing Li Feng.
"I heard you offended soone and fled abroad like a stray dog. So, are you back to et your demise?"
Seeing Li Feng stirred a mix of feelings in Xiao Mingyue. This bastard had dared to corner her, humiliated her several tis, yet still got away unscathed.
