Wei Lan looked at Li Feng, who was humiliated by Li Zidong, and thought to herself that these two were not brothers at all; they were clearly enemies. She rembered what Li Zidong said in the restaurant earlier—that they were half-brothers sharing the sa father.
Living in a prominent family like the Wei Family, Wei Lan instantly understood the dynamics at play.
Li Feng was the illegitimate child, whereas Li Zidong was the legitimate heir of the family. Their statuses were naturally worlds apart.
It seed that Li Feng carried many secrets with him.
And Li Zidong’s interest in her might not only be due to her beauty but also partly because of her association with Li Feng.
With a sigh,
Li Feng let out a breath as if feeling utterly helpless, while Li Zidong held his head high with a continual sneer on his lips.
Thinking to himself, "Li Feng oh Li Feng, if you hadn’t claid this woman as your own, I might not actually have gotten physical. After all, I find her quite attractive, and it would be a waste to be too direct and take her to bed."
But you had to say she was your woman.
Smack.
Just as Li Zidong was deep in thought, Li Feng suddenly struck out with a speed that caught everyone off guard, sending Li Zidong sprawling to the ground with a slap.
The crisp sound of the slap echoed.
Li Zidong was dumbstruck, unable to believe that he had been slapped by that bastard Li Feng. He didn’t dare to believe Li Feng had dared to raise a hand against him.
Covering his burning cheek, Li Zidong’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Li Feng, "You two, grab him for , the ballsy bastard dared to hit ."
Li Zidong shouted angrily, and the two bodyguards exchanged a glance before releasing Wei Lan. They knew all too well about Li Zidong’s temper; as one of the top young masters in Jin City, it was unheard of for anyone to have the audacity to slap him.
Even a slight accidental bump into him could end disastrously for the other person if he was in a bad mood.
Li Zidong’s vengeful nature was common knowledge within the Jin City Circle.
As for the person across from him, although also a young master of the Li Family, he was but an illegitimate son and held practically no status within the family.
"Be careful."
Wei Lan turned to the two suit-clad burly n launching towards Li Feng and couldn’t help warning them—they were formidable, and she had crossed hands with them before. Although her own martial arts were not great, she could tell these two were skilled.
Li Zidong wiped the corner of his mouth and stood up, his eyes filled with venomous resentnt toward Li Feng, "Beat him hard for . As long as you don’t kill him, I’ll cover for you."
"You filthy bastard of an illegitimate child, shalessly becoming a live-in son-in-law and ruining the Li Family’s reputation. If I were Father, I would have broken your legs long ago and thrown you out of the family."
"And Father even arranged a marriage for you, to marry Wang Jin’er, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Wang Family. Do you really think you’re worthy?"
Li Zidong was in a foul mood. The Wang Family was a wealthy clan just like the Li Family, and Wang Jin’er, being the sole legitimate daughter and heir to the Wang Family’s fortune, was poised to inherit a significant legacy.
Imagine how vast that inheritance must be, and not to ntion, Wang Jin’er was a beauty of stunning grace. And yet, such a wonderful ’gift’ was handed to Li Feng by their father.
Even though, yes, Li Feng was going to beco a live-in son-in-law.
But it still rankled him deeply.
"You seem very anxious." Li Zidong said, then turned to look at Wei Lan, who coldly glanced at him with disdain, unwilling to speak.
Li Zidong huffed.
"Relax, my two bodyguards are retired Jin City Blue Sword Special Forces warriors. I won’t let them kill him, so they won’t beat soone to death."
Upon hearing this, Wei Lan’s heart tightened as she looked at Li Zidong, "But he’s your brother."
Li Zidong curled his lip.
"Heh, he is indeed, which is why I feel embarrassed by him. It would’ve been fine if he had just lived quietly, but he always has to cause trouble."
"He’s supposed to be a mber of our Li Family yet he’s willing to be a lackey for others, brazenly degrading himself. His very existence is a disgrace to the Li Family."
Wei Lan listened to Li Zidong’s contemptuous words, yet her heart felt otherwise. Did this man truly understand Li Feng?
The man before her was even feared by her own family’s patriarch. She, herself, had once looked down on Li Feng, thinking him rely a son-in-law from the Zhang Family, but reality slapped her in the face.
The takeover of Qingcheng Group, worth billions, was followed by the change in ownership of the trillion-dollar Sihai Group.
Not to ntion, the scene where Li Feng brazenly pulled out five billion in cash was sothing Wei Lan hadn’t forgotten.
And now, as the Wei Family was handling the distribution and sale of Sihai Group’s assets, she had the most say. These were also tasks this man lazily handed over to the Wei Family.
But in Li Zidong’s words, Li Feng seed like a dog of the Wei Family, as if the collapse of Sihai Group had nothing to do with him—he was just a puppet displayed on stage.
That’s what she thought, but she knew her family’s circumstance; the Wei Family couldn’t swallow Sihai Group whole—their teeth weren’t that strong.
Hmm!
A sudden grunt interrupted Wei Lan’s train of thought. She looked up to see a bodyguard kneeling heavily on one knee.
After dodging a few tis and gauging the opponent’s strength, Li Feng struck back with rapid, accurate, and ruthless moves, instantly knocking down one person.
The other guard reacted swiftly, raising his arm to block Li Feng’s attack, but sadly, he underestimated the explosive power of Li Feng’s punch.
Crack.
The arm bone bent at an angle, the bodyguard let out a strained grunt, and took a sharp intake of breath. The next mont, Li Feng kicked straight through the exposed chest and into the door.
Bang.
The burly bodyguard was sent flying backward, crashing hard into the elevator door.
On the other side, with a kick followed by a waist twist and a sweeping leg, the kneeling bodyguard couldn’t block the thunderous strike and rolled across the floor for five to six ters.
The entire sequence was over in the blink of an eye.
Li Zidong turned his head for just a mont, and his two bodyguards were already out of the fight. He turned back with an ugly expression on his face.
"Li Feng, if you dare lay a finger on , I’ll tell my father."
Tsk.
Wei Lan scoffed out loud, her gaze toward Li Zidong filled with a hint of disdain—he still thought he was a child who’d tattle?
It was downright childish.
Li Feng glanced at Li Zidong, "I’ll tell you once again, this is not Jin City."
"Get lost and go back."
Li Feng stepped forward, wrapping his arm around Wei Lan’s fiery waist, and briskly walked away. Li Zidong’s face burned with humiliation as he watched Li Feng leave with the girl in his arms.
"Master Zidong."
The two bodyguards were also shocked. This Li Family’s eldest son was so domineering, it was completely unexpected.
"You two pieces of trash, you can’t even beat that bastard, what good are you to ?"
Li Zidong’s face turned dark as he looked at them.
Without offering any explanation, knowing full well that Zidong wasn’t one to listen to excuses—the more you explained, the more trouble you invited.
After dressing down his n, Li Zidong seethed inside.
He imdiately took out his cell phone.
"Hello, it’s . I need to deal with soone, help find so people."
"Do you think I lack money? The more, the better. Call as many as you can." Li Zidong hung up the phone viciously, grinding his teeth:
"Li Feng, you dare hit and tell to get lost? Just you wait."
