"Master, I can’t do this anymore, why not let Sister Bai...!"
"Stop talking nonsense."
"I’m not talking nonsense, I don’t believe you haven’t thought about it, Master. Sister Bai is quite a beauty, and you saved her. Technically, her ordeal should have ended, yet she didn’t move away; instead, she insisted on staying by your side as a nanny."
"Sima Zhao’s intentions are obvious to everyone."
"She’s just clinging to you, Master. Just one look from you, and maybe Sister Bai would succumb," Sofia said sowhat recklessly.
She didn’t mind that Li Feng had many won. Not to ntion the hardships she had endured in the underground market, even before that, when she was still a favored daughter, her father also had nurous lovers; it was not uncommon.
Sofia clearly understood her own status, she knew she could never attain the position of Lady, so she might as well garner so allies.
"Hmm, don’t play those tricks, I know what kind of won I want," Feng sternly told Sofia, who gasped and pouted.
Her heart stirred, yet her words didn’t match.
n.
Wait, the Master wouldn’t be thinking about Sister Bai’s daughter, would he? If so, no wonder the Master hesitated.
"I asked you to keep an eye on Century Group, any movent in the past few days?"
Li Feng had also encountered so unexpected situations; he hadn’t gone to provide acupuncture for Chen Qinian for several days now, but that didn’t matter much.
Sofia snapped out of her reverie and humd, "A few things did happen over at Century Group."
"Oh!"
"Three days ago, one of Century Group’s managers died in a car accident, and just yesterday, another director was stabbed several tis in a bar over so jealousy issues and died on the spot."
"I had soone investigate, the two who died were both from Chen village and were relatives of Chen Qinian within five degrees of kinship. Recently, with Chen Qinian’s stroke and Chen Muyang going abroad for treatnt, there has been a corrupt wind within Century Group, many aiming for a coup."
"Are these two who jumped the most eagerly?" Li Feng said.
"Master, you are wise, you’ve guess right. The manager who died was Chen Muhe, from the sa generation as Chen Muyang. His father was a younger brother of Chen Qinian and died early. Chen Muhe was raised by Chen Qinian from an early age."
"This Chen Muhe was also quite capable, having studied abroad and was considered a talent. Upon returning, he entered Century Group and due to his outstanding performance, he quickly rose to the position of departnt manager at Century Group’s headquarters."
"However, despite his impressive performance, he was always suppressed by Chen Muyang, who even publicly humiliated Chen Muhe several tis, blatantly stating that he was not worthy to compete with him for Century Group."
"With Chen Muyang seriously injured this ti, Chen Muhe seed to be in high spirits. Plus, Chen Muhe, being quite capable, had won the satisfaction of many in Century Group from the Chen family and seed fit to lead the heavy responsibility of Century Group."
Li Feng chuckled, "How about that director?"
"The deceased director was the youngest brother of Chen Qinian and was pretty much invisible in Century Group, but he controlled a few shares of Century Group’s stock."
"Therefore, he was quite sought after in Century Group, with many courting him, and he was waiting for the right price, recently seeming quite a bit in the lilight."
"Being stabbed in the bar was also because soone was courting him. As for why he was stabbed, it was said to be over jealousy, but with the internal turmoil in Century Group, I feel it’s not that simple."
In just a few days, two senior executives of Century Group had died; this was no longer explainable by an accident, even though their deaths appeared so.
"It’s not that simple – it ans soone is doing this as a warning, killing the chicken to scare the monkey. But who would do it? Chen Qinian is still comatose, and his wife Han Xue is under our watch; she doesn’t have the guts."
"Then, there’s only one person left."
"Chen Muyang."
Sofia turned to Li Feng, the answer was not hard to guess. Chen Muyang, now a eunuch, with no ability to continue his line, naturally needed soone else for Century Group’s inheritance. Chen Muyang wouldn’t easily accept this.
He had always been sowhat aggressive and a bit perverse in his thoughts. Now that he had beco a eunuch, it’s unknown what distortions had ford in his mind.
Thus, killing was no obstacle for him.
And he had the ans, since he was still the Crown Prince of Century Group, no matter if everyone ignored him, his status remained.
Money makes ghosts grind the millstone.
Hiring an assassin was nothing light and pressure-free for him.
"Has this guy gone crazy, thinking that by killing these people, he can inherit Century Group?"
Sofia pouted, inside the belly of Chen Qinian’s little darling wife was another on the way. Once born, this child would have inheritance rights. Compared to the largely incapacitated elder, this youngster would undoubtedly beco Century Group’s true heir.
Li Feng was much more lucid, "Heh, his killing these people is just venting. Right now, he’s abroad, and your suspicions are useless. Plus, I think his ultimate targets are Han Xue and her unborn child."
"Only now, Han Xue is being securely hidden away in a safe house, so he hasn’t made a move yet."
The key node of this matter hadn’t changed; it remained Han Xue and her child, along with Chen Qinian’s recovery.
"Then he will definitely do everything possible to find Han Xue’s whereabouts."
"Hmm."
Li Feng nodded, the other party definitely would. "First thing tomorrow, you go to the black market to dig out so intelligence, see who took the job."
"Hmm."
"Master, I feel well-rested now."
Li Feng turned to Sofia beside him, this mixed-blood minx really didn’t know what training ant.
"It’s him—Han Fei."
At a loud nightclub, the deafening music mixed with the screams of n and won kept the atmosphere at a climax. After confirming their target, two youths headed straight into the dance floor.
One of them pulled off the sheath of his utility knife and, with a burst of speed, appeared behind the youth dancing awkwardly with a girl, plunging the sharp blade in.
A white blade went in, a red blade ca out.
Han Fei didn’t die imdiately but twisted to look at the masked man behind him. "You...!"
The young man withdrew the knife.
"Don’t bla —soone wants you dead."
With that, the young man impulsively plunged the knife into Han Fei’s stomach, thrusting it in several tis, ensuring his death before quickly fleeing the scene.
"Ahh!"
A piercing scream resounded throughout the nightclub.
