Chapter 146: Chapter 146: If You’re a Dragon, You’ll Coil; If You’re a Tiger, You’ll Lie Down

Fang Qian shook his head. "I’d advise against making that call. He and the Grand Elder are incredibly close..."

BOOM!

Those words struck Hu Jun like a clap of thunder. Scared witless, his grip went slack, and the phone clattered to the floor.

He looked at Ye Feng, and it suddenly dawned on him. His voice trembling, he shouted, "You, you’re that Ye Feng? The one who crushed the four great families, flattened the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Association, and smashed Pan Jie’s face right into a table?"

Ye Feng looked at Hu Jun and said with a grin, "So, still have that special hobby? Still want to sleep with my wife in front of me?"

Hu Jun was paralyzed with fear. He kowtowed repeatedly to Ye Feng, shrieking, "I wouldn’t dare! I’ll never dare again! Please, spare me! Spare my life!"

Just then, Fang Qian, who had reached the door, overheard and flew into a rage. "Hu Jun, you scum! You actually tried to force yourself on President Wang! You deserve a beating, and you deserve to be judged by the law."

With that, he roared to the people outside, "Men, get in here! Drag this scumbag away! I’m going to make sure he rots in prison."

Two men rushed in and dragged Hu Jun out like a dead dog.

Fang Qian even went to get a mop and cleaned up the bloodstains in the room before turning to leave, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

Wang Luyao was stunned. ’Is... is this really happening?’

Just then, Ye Feng sidled up to her again, his wandering hands slipping right into her clothes.

Wang Luyao’s pretty face flushed red. She pushed Ye Feng away and said with a helpless look, "Ye Feng, stop messing around. My brain can’t even process what just happened. Besides, it’s the middle of the day, and we’re in my office! This is so embarrassing."

Ye Feng looked at her with a grin. "Really? No go? All right then, I’m leaving."

With that, he stood up.

Wang Luyao grew anxious. "Where are you going?" she cried out in surprise.

"I’m going to the provincial capital to take care of some things. I won’t be back for a while. Don’t you go crying because you miss me!" Ye Feng said, looking at Wang Luyao with a playful smile.

"You... you’re going to the provincial capital, and you won’t be back for a while?" Wang Luyao’s eyes went wide. The next moment, she shrieked, shot up, and threw her arms around Ye Feng, pushing him down onto the sofa. She gritted her teeth and said:

"Then only a fool would let you get away."

With that, she made her move.

...

「Two hours later.」

Wang Luyao was nestled in Ye Feng’s arms, looking at him reluctantly. "Do you have to go?"

Ye Feng shook his head. "I have to go to the provincial capital to look for clues about my parents. Who knows where they are or what they’re suffering right now!"

His voice grew hoarse as he spoke.

Hearing this, Wang Luyao quickly hugged him tighter. "Ye Feng, I won’t stop you," she said urgently. "You should go quickly. I hope you find your parents soon!"

With that, she got up, gently helped Ye Feng get dressed, kissed him on the forehead, and pushed him toward the door.

Downstairs, she looked at Ye Feng and said, "By the way, since you’re leaving, you should go say goodbye to Xue’Er. She told me everything about you two."

Ye Feng turned to look at Wang Luyao and asked with a smile, "And what are your thoughts and feelings after hearing that news?"

Wang Luyao stared at him and said through gritted teeth, "My feeling is that I want to castrate you!"

Ye Feng roared with laughter, turned, and got into his car. At that moment, Wang Luyao bit her lip and added another reminder, "Ye Feng, Sister Fei’Er has been very good to you, too. You should probably tell her you’re leaving before you go."

Ye Feng turned back to Wang Luyao and said with a grin, "I spent the night at her place last night, so I’ve already said my goodbyes."

"You... you stayed at Sister Fei’Er’s place last night?" Wang Luyao’s eyes went wide.

Ye Feng nodded with a smile. "That’s right. And I should tell you, Yufei... she’s the dream girl I’ve been searching for all this time."

"Sister Fei’Er... is your dream girl." Wang Luyao’s eyes nearly popped out of her head.

Ye Feng was already driving away with a smile.

Wang Luyao shook her head with a wry smile. ’So, another sister joins the group. We’ll all have to face this sooner or later. I might as well go meet her now.’

Wang Luyao turned, got into her car, and headed for Qingya Cosmetics.

...

「Meanwhile, at the Holy Banner Bank, in the general manager’s office.」

A middle-aged man in a suit sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, taking a drag from a cigarette. He looked at Nangong Xue opposite him and spoke arrogantly, "Miss Nangong, the interest rates your Holy Banner Bank is offering are too high. You’re disrupting the financial market. I am now ordering you to cease this erroneous practice immediately."

The middle-aged man was Jia Hao, the chairman of Wanxin Bank.

Nangong Xue looked at Jia Hao and spoke politely, "Chairman Jia, as a private bank, our ability to raise capital is limited. We can only attract deposits by offering higher interest rates. You know this."

"Besides, while our rates might be a bit high, they haven’t exceeded the upper limit set by the regulators..."

Before Nangong Xue could finish, Jia Hao cut her off rudely. "When I say no, I mean no. If you dare to disobey, don’t blame me for running Holy Banner Bank out of Jiangcheng."

"You’re being a bully!" Nangong Xue was furious after hearing Jia Hao’s unreasonable words.

Jia Hao looked at Nangong Xue and sneered, "What, not happy about it? Well, you can just suck it up."

"Nangong Xue, your Holy Banner Group may have some clout, but that’s in the Imperial Capital. Here in Jiangcheng, this is our turf. If you’re a dragon, you’d better coil up. If you’re a tiger, you’d better lie down. Understand?"

Nangong Xue’s face turned pale with anger.

But just then, the door to the room was pushed open. A young, somewhat slender man in a suit walked in. He looked at Jia Hao and said with a grin, "What was that you just said? I didn’t quite hear you. Why don’t you say it again?"

Jia Hao, his back to the door, heard someone dare to challenge his authority. He whipped around, stared at the newcomer, and said arrogantly, "Who the hell do you think you are, asking me to repeat myself? Do you think you’re worthy...?"

But halfway through his sentence, he finally recognized the man. He instantly fell silent, like a strangled rooster, and his face became deathly pale.

The newcomer was none other than Ye Feng.

Although most of Ye Feng’s legendary achievements had been deliberately covered up by the authorities, as the chairman of Wanxin Bank, Jia Hao had access to information that ordinary people didn’t. Therefore, he was all too familiar with Ye Feng’s heaven-defying exploits.

He never imagined he would run into this ruthless character here, much less spew such venom at him.

The thought made his scalp tingle with fear.

He staggered over to Ye Feng and forced a smile. "Mr. Ye! I didn’t realize it was you! I apologize for my offensive words just now. Please, don’t take it to heart!"

’What is a titan like him doing here?’ he wondered to himself.

But what happened next made his pupils shrink.
