Xiao Yi quietly watched as Zhang Chang made a phone call, having followed Zhang Chang for so long, she seldom saw him take a call so seriously, as if the person on the other end held more clout than him.
After a while, Zhang Chang hung up and leaned back on the sofa.
Xiao Yi didn’t make a sound but waited for Zhang Chang to initiate the conversation.
"This ti, it’s trouble!"
Zhang Chang let out a sigh, and Xiao Yi looked at him, "There aren’t many who can make you pull that face."
"But he is one of them."
"Did the other party see the news?" Xiao Yi speculated, and Zhang Chang nodded, "And they quickly found out it was who helped with the location, hence the call asking to introduce Li Feng."
"What did the other party imply?"
"He wants the Lan Country Queen."
Xiao Yi gasped, "Judging by the news, the Lan Country Queen is an invaluable treasure, worth an entire city. I read sowhere that soone was willing to pay hundreds of billions for it but got refused."
"Does he also plan to buy it? Does he have that kind of money?"
"Buy?"
Zhang Chang shook his head and gave a bitter laugh, "You’re underestimating him too much. The things he sets his eyes on, he takes."
"I count as one of the famous ’Four Young Masters of Jin City’ outside, and still have to pay a price for things I want, but in his eyes, what am I? Nothing at all."
Zhang Chang scoffed at himself coldly. In the elite clubs of the Jin City Circle, he was just an ordinary mber, regarded highly by outsiders, but nothing more than a stranger in front of the true elite young masters.
Xiao Yi understood Zhang Chang’s connections and status very clearly, as she was close to him. Whoever even Zhang Chang was wary of, what kind of person would that be?
"Should we contact Li Feng first?"
Xiao Yi spoke up, clearly understanding that this request could not be refused. Zhang Chang nodded and dialed Li Feng’s number.
Beep beep, after a few seconds, the call connected.
A mont later.
Zhang Chang ended the call and Xiao Yi looked at him, "What did he say?"
"He’s at Tengyun Manor, we’re heading there now." Zhang Chang stood up directly, and Xiao Yi responded, "I’ll drive, you’ve been drinking."
The two imdiately went downstairs, and Xiao Yi drove, only reaching the Mountain Villa around eight or nine in the evening.
"Li Feng, are you there?"
"Xiao sister, you’re here, co on in, there are a lot of mosquitoes outside."
Wang Jin’er, with a blush on her face, stood at the door inviting them inside. Zhang Chang walked straight to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
"I’ll make so tea."
"I’ll help!"
The two won tactfully headed to the dining room.
Zhang Chang looked up at Li Feng, "Brother, you’ve really stirred up big trouble this ti."
"What, soone ca after you too?"
Zhang Chang nodded with a bitter smile, "Yeah, you caused such big news, and I only found out once I returned ho. Barely had I settled down when soone ca looking for , probably thinking I could get in touch with you, so they asked to make the introduction."
Li Feng narrowed his eyes at Zhang Chang, "For soone to trouble you, one of the Jin City’s Four Young Masters, soone you can’t refuse, must be soone with an impressive background."
"Exactly."
Zhang Chang ntioned just four words, and Li Feng understood inside, "Looks like the other party’s status in Jin City is no simple matter."
"Heh, indeed not a simple matter?"
Zhang Chang was slightly taken aback. Although Li Feng was the son of that mber of the Li Family, he was, after all, an illegitimate child. Li Zidong, Li Feng’s brother, was indeed a mber of the top-tier elite club, but Li Feng’s previous status likely didn’t allow him to co into contact with this circle.
In particular, the club extensively assesses family background and abilities, and being an illegitimate child, Li Feng would be directly passed over.
"Um, I’ve heard about it and know a bit. Brother Zhang, you must be a mber of this club, too."
Zhang Chang nodded without denying it.
"What does the other party an?"
Li Feng didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point. Zhang Chang shook his head: "He just wanted to introduce him, but...!"
"Li Feng, I consider you a friend, so let add one more thing: money is external, and one should let go when necessary."
Li Feng pondered Zhang Chang’s words. It seed the visitor had ill intentions, but Li Feng had sowhat guessed as much.
"Oh, when does he want to et?"
"Now!"
said Zhang Chang.
"I will have Xiao Yi stay to accompany your fiancée."
Li Feng shrugged his shoulders and stood up from the sofa: "Let’s go then, let’s et this person." Zhang Chang’s late visit already made the intentions quite clear, and since Zhang Chang had said that extra sentence, Li Feng felt obliged to reciprocate.
After a brief explanation, Li Feng went down to the foothills with Zhang Chang, got into the car, and turned to Zhang Chang: "Where to?"
"The Elite Club."
said Zhang Chang.
Li Feng glanced at Zhang Chang, started the car, and drove directly away from the Mountain Villa towards Jin City.
The Elite Club.
In many people’s eyes, this elite club was mysterious and powerful. Countless top-notch elites clamored to get inside, and many had heard of its existence but could never scale its heights.
Under Zhang Chang’s guidance, Li Feng drove to the Third Ring, where a modest antique building stood. Surrounded by high walls, the large trees within ford another barrier, making it impossible for outsiders to peek inside.
The main entrance seed inconspicuous, but upon entering, one would realize the heavy security. Driving inside, it felt like navigating a labyrinth, with only a winding road shuttling through a forest.
A minute later, a grand palace-like building appeared ahead. The pillars outside were large redwoods, too wide for two people to embrace, topped with bright yellow tiles—a definite violation if this were feudal tis.
"Is this the club?"
asked Li Feng.
Zhang Chang got out of the car: "Yes, but the main body of the club is beneath our feet." Zhang Chang led Li Feng into the club’s interior.
The club lobby was manned, and the two underwent a security check, were searched thoroughly, and had all electronic devices confiscated, nearly to the point of being stripped down for a check.
After completing all the security checks, Li Feng and Zhang Chang were led into a room. Zhang Chang directly went to sit on a chair inside and said to Li Feng, "Co over and sit down."
Li Feng walked over and sat down, then felt the water in a nearby teacup ripple; the floor was moving. The room was a huge elevator, although unlike usual elevators, its movent was barely noticeable.
"You don’t seem curious?"
Zhang Chang looked up at Li Feng, rembering how shocked he had been when he was first introduced to the club.
The entire club was built underground; the main body had once been part of an underground city prepared for nuclear warfare, which was abandoned mid-construction with the changing tis, and later taken over and expanded by the club. After several expansions and renovations, it had beco the club present today.
"Curious, but I know curiosity can kill."
Zhang Chang coughed.
"Actually, this might also be an opportunity for you. If that person speaks up, maybe you could gain mbership to the club. He has the authority to do that."
