Chapter 89: 500 Million, Is That a Lot?

Chapter 89: Chapter 89: 500 Million, Is That a Lot?

Just then, Lin Qianqian’s trembling voice came from the side. "Dad, it’s not Ye Feng who’s dead... Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang are the ones who’ve had an accident..."

"Hahaha, haha, ha..." Lin Yuan’s laughter died abruptly. He quickly looked down, and in the next instant, he froze as if he’d been struck over the head, completely dumbfounded.

To his astonishment, he saw the master mercenaries he’d hired lying motionless on the ground like dead dogs.

He looked up at Ye Feng and shrieked, "Impossible! How is this possible?"

Ye Feng, however, ignored him completely. He turned to Wang Luyao and said gently, "Luyao, we’ve settled the score for them hitting you. Now, it’s time to settle the rest. They gave you quite a scare, didn’t they? We need to calculate the compensation for your emotional distress."

With that, he turned to the dumbfounded Lin Yuan and asked calmly, "Why don’t you tell me? How should we settle this account?"

Lin Yuan never imagined Ye Feng possessed such skills. ’Damn it all,’ he thought. ’If I really piss him off, he’ll probably twist my head right off.’

He trembled with fear, completely forgetting that Pan Haofeng was there to back him up. Forcing a smile, he said,

"Mr. Ye, I’m willing to offer a hundred thousand as compensation for President Wang’s emotional distress?"

Ye Feng walked over, crouched down in front of Lin Yuan, and chuckled. He looked at him and said,

"What was that I heard you say earlier? That you were going to take over Luyao’s Angel’s Garments? That’s some big talk. How is it that when it’s time to pay up, you’ve suddenly become so stingy?"

Seeing the undisguised killing intent in Ye Feng’s eyes, the hairs on Lin Yuan’s arms stood on end. He quickly bowed and scraped, saying,

"I’m willing to compensate President Wang with one million! One million!"

Ye Feng sighed. "I must say, Lin Yuan, you’re thinking too small. How about I give you a suggestion?

You give all of the Lin family’s assets to my Luyao as compensation. See? With a proposal like that, suddenly we’re thinking bigger, aren’t we?"

Hearing Ye Feng utter such outrageously arrogant words, Lin Yuan laughed in exasperation.

"Do you have any idea how large the Lin family is? Let me tell you, our consolidated assets are worth five hundred million. We rank third in all of Jiangcheng. And you think you can just swallow the Lin family whole with a single sentence? Do you really think you have the stomach for it?"

Ye Feng looked at Lin Yuan and chuckled. "Five hundred million? Is that supposed to be a lot?"

With that, he picked up his phone and made a call. "Sister Qingyun, I need your help taking down the Lin family in Jiangcheng. Is an hour enough time?"

A cold voice replied from the other end. "I’ll have the results for you in forty minutes."

With that, the line went dead.

Beside them, Lin Qianqian couldn’t hold back her laughter. She giggled and said, "You want to take down my family in an hour? Do you have any idea how large the Lin family is? You’re hilarious..."

But Lin Yuan, who was standing nearby, heard this, and his expression changed instantly. He stared at Ye Feng and cried out,

"Qingyun? Could you mean... Chairman Mu, Mu Qingyun, the president of Great Xia’s number one conglomerate, the Cyan Cloud Group?"

Ye Feng chuckled. "Now, do you think it’s possible for her to take down the Lin family in an hour?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian’s jaw dropped, and she was left speechless.

The Cyan Cloud Group, known as the number one conglomerate in Great Xia, had assets of over a hundred billion. They were a true behemoth.

The Lin family might be powerful, but in front of Mu Qingyun, they were less than nothing. She could crush them to dust in a matter of minutes.

Lin Yuan’s face turned ashen!

He had never imagined Ye Feng had such terrifying backing. ’Today, I’ve really messed with the wrong person,’ he thought. ’No, this isn’t just messing with the wrong person; it’s like kicking a plate of solid titanium!’

His legs went weak with fear, and he was just about to fall to his knees before Ye Feng when a cold voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Threatening to seize someone’s family fortune at the drop of a hat. Who gave you the nerve? Who gave you the gall?"

Lin Qianqian turned and saw that the newcomer was Pan Haofeng.

She instantly reacted as if she’d found a lifeline, scrambling to her feet and grabbing Pan Haofeng’s arm. She cried out urgently,

"Darling, you have to stand up for us!"

Pan Haofeng declared domineeringly, "Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one can touch a single hair on your heads, and no one can lay a finger on the Lin family!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan snapped out of it. His confidence returned, and he looked at Ye Feng, speaking with renewed arrogance.

"Ye Feng, no matter how rich Mu Qingyun is, she’s still just a businesswoman. Do you really think she can go up against the state apparatus?"

Lin Qianqian also sneered. "Ye Feng, when it comes right down to it, isn’t Yuan Long the only reason you dare to be so arrogant?

Well, I’m here to tell you that Yuan Long has fallen from power. Your backer is gone. The person who calls the shots in Jiangcheng now is my future father-in-law, Pan Jie. He’s about to become the mayor of Jiangcheng! You have no right to be arrogant anymore. You’re finished."

Wang Luyao’s face went pale with fright. She’d heard about the connection between Ye Feng and Yuan Long and thought that with such a powerful figure backing him, they would be safe today. She never imagined Yuan Long himself would be in trouble.

Even more terrifying, their opponents had just played the Pan Jie card. How could they possibly stand against someone like that? What were they going to do?

She looked up at Ye Feng, her face etched with worry, but he simply looked back at her with a gentle smile.

"We should hurry inside. If we’re late, all the good food will be gone!"

Wang Luyao felt her eye twitch. ’Even now, all he can think about is food!’ she thought, exasperated.

But she quickly understood. The hotel was the Grand Elder’s territory. With him as a patron, no one would dare cause trouble inside. Once they were in, they’d be safe!

So she nodded and quickly followed Ye Feng. After presenting their tickets, they entered the hotel, found an empty table, and sat down.

Wang Luyao let out a long sigh of relief. ’Finally, we’re safe!’

But in the next moment, her heart seized. To her horror, she saw that Lin Qianqian and her entourage had followed them inside.

Lin Qianqian walked up to their table, looked at Wang Luyao, and sneered.

"Wang Luyao, you bitch. Did you really think you’d be safe hiding in here? Dream on!

From now on, my future father-in-law calls the shots in Jiangcheng, which means *I* call the shots. No matter where you hide, you’ll never escape the palm of my hand.

Wang Luyao, did you really think relying on this boy toy gave you the right to act so high and mighty in front of me? I’m telling you, dream on!

Today, it’s not just him who’s going to suffer. You won’t be getting away either."

Then, she looked at Wang Luyao and giggled maliciously.

"Wang Luyao, I’m a kind-hearted person, so I’ll give you a way out. But you have to agree to one little condition."

She pointed toward the reception desk and said viciously, "Strip naked, go over to that desk, and dance for me. Let everyone see just how much of a slut you really are..."

"You’re despicable!" Hearing Lin Qianqian’s vicious words, Wang Luyao’s face went pale with rage.

Lin Qianqian just chuckled. "That’s right, I’m a despicable bitch. What are you going to do about it? Go on, bite me if you’ve got the guts! Haha..."

Behind her, Lin Yuan and Pan Haofeng broke into wild, unrestrained laughter.

But what happened next left everyone completely stupefied.
