Chapter 14 Digging a Pit

During the meeting, Liu Yanran was already at her wits' end over a sum of money that had yet to materialize, and now, seeing her office smashed up like this, she was at her limit trying not to fly off the handle.

Ye Feng noticed her displeased expression and said with a chuckle, "Wife, what's wrong with you? You look like you've eaten gunpowder!"

"Ye Feng, first tell me what the hell is going on here? Why has my office turned out like this?"

"Calm down, wife. Just now, a group claiming to be from the Black Tiger Gang came causing trouble. But I taught them a harsh lesson, and they promised to restore this place to its original state within two days!"

When Liu Yanran heard that the ones who had wildly damaged her office were from the Black Tiger Gang, the anger she had initially felt immediately dissipated by more than half, while a strong sense of worry surfaced in her heart.

She was, of course, aware of the Black Tiger Gang.

But she couldn't remember where she could have possibly offended them, to the extent that they would come and smash up her company.

As for what Ye Feng said about having just given the Black Tiger Gang members a harsh lesson and that they had also assured him they would have the office restored to its original state within two days, she didn't believe a word of it.

Glancing up and down at Ye Feng and not finding any obvious injuries on him, Liu Yanran let out a silent sigh.

She guessed that when the Black Tiger Gang members came to smash the place, Ye Feng must have been scared into hiding.

For a moment, the smidgen of good feeling she had just started to have for Ye Feng instantly shattered.

"Forget it, as long as you're unharmed, that's all that matters!"

Liu Yanran said with a disheartened look, then sat down on the chair, flipping through the contract in her hands with obvious agitation.

Ye Feng could tell she was encountering some difficulties, so he asked, "Wife, are you running into some kind of trouble?"

Liu Yanran glanced at him with noticeable irritation and said, "I am indeed facing some issues, but you can't help me, so why should I tell you?"

"Heh heh, wife, I can say without any exaggeration that if I can't resolve your troubles, then probably no one in East Sea City can!"

As the president of Dragon Soar Group, Ye Feng could be considered the most powerful and influential person in East Sea City. If he couldn't solve Liu Yanran's problems, indeed no one in the city could.

Liu Yanran, hearing him say this, thought that Ye Feng was bragging again.

Her brows furrowed and she said with displeasure, "Ye Feng, can you stop bragging all the time? Fine, I'll tell you what trouble I'm in. I'm short of funds to run a project! Can you help me?"

"How much money?"

Ye Feng asked curiously.

"Five million!"

"Done! I'll transfer it to you!"

Without even thinking, he pulled out his smartphone to transfer money to Liu Yanran.

"Ye Feng, you've really let me down. How could you possibly have five million to spare..."

However, before Liu Yanran could finish her sentence, her phone suddenly vibrated.

She picked up the phone and her beautiful eyes immediately showed an expression of utter shock.

Her account had just received a transfer of five million, and the sender was none other than Ye Feng!

"Ye... Ye Feng... where did you get so much money from?"

"Heh heh, didn't I tell you? The guys from the Black Tiger Gang came looking for trouble, and I gave them a lesson. This five million is compensation from their boss!"

Liu Yanran clearly didn't believe his explanation.

Who were the Black Tiger Gang? They were old-timers in the Underworld, with incredible reach in East Sea City. Would they really voluntarily compensate Ye Feng?

"Heh heh… Wife, seeing as I've helped you with such a big favor, don't you think you should show some appreciation?"

Ye Feng snickered mischievously, reaching out to touch Liu Yanran's silky legs.

Liu Yanran slapped his hand away with a "smack" and said with a mix of embarrassment and anger, "Ye Feng, mind the setting, this is my company!"

Ye Feng knew what Liu Yanran was concerned about, so he stopped teasing her with a joking demeanor.

"Wife, just take the money and use it for whatever you need. If it's not enough, just tell me, I'm heading out now!"

Now, with the wedding day imminent, he still had many things to keep him busy.

Liu Yanran watched Ye Feng's retreating figure with mixed feelings in her heart.

A poor Taoist just down from the mountains, spending five million like that?

She found that she couldn't see through Ye Feng anymore.

…

Meanwhile, after Li Hu left Liu Yanran's company in a sorry state with his subordinates, Wang Gang, who had been waiting downstairs for a long time, immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Seeing Li Hu's bruised and swollen face, Wang Gang asked in utter confusion, "Brother Hu, what happened to you…"

"We'll talk back at the place!" Li Hu spat out with an ugly expression.

Soon enough, the two entered a luxurious private room in a club.

Wang Gang hurriedly asked Li Hu what had happened.

Unable to contain his fury, Li Hu stepped forward, grabbed Wang Gang by the collar, and cursed, "Damn it! Do you have any idea you almost got me killed?"

"Brother Hu, it couldn't have been that bad. Just some country bumpkin fresh off the mountain, and you couldn't handle it?"

"Country bumpkin?"

Li Hu's eyes narrowed. He almost blurted out, "Could a country bumpkin fresh off the mountain be a benefactor to Xiao Tian, the emperor of the Underworld?"

But he swallowed those words before they could leave his mouth.

He was in this sorry state today all thanks to Wang Gang.

"Damn it, this kid must pay a price too!" Li Hu thought maliciously, and then he said to Wang Gang, "Ye Feng said you have to go and kneel to apologize to him within three days. If you don't, you'll bear the consequences."

"What!? Did that damn kid really say that?"

Upon hearing Li Hu's words, Wang Gang exploded with rage.

However, he failed to notice the mean-spirited sneer in Li Hu's eyes.

"Why would I lie to you? There, I've delivered the message. Now get lost!"

Li Hu waved his hand, giving the cue for Wang Gang to leave.

Realizing Li Hu did not intend to deal with the matter further, Wang Gang stood up and left the club.

As he walked out of the club, his eyes gradually grew cold.

"Hmph, a useless cur that's more trouble than it's worth, can't even handle a stinking Taoist fresh off the mountain. Looks like I'll need to take matters into my own hands!"

He resolved to create a huge scene at Ye Feng and Liu Yanran's wedding.

He wanted both the Liu Family and Ye Feng to lose face.

"Dare to make me come and apologize? Ye Feng, do you think you're worthy?"

…

In the subsequent days, the news of Ye Feng's and Liu Yanran's wedding, with the help of the Dragon Soar Corporation's influence, spread like wildfire throughout the city.

Although the Liu Family was only a third-rate household, Liu Yanran's wedding was even more bustling than those of heiresses from first-rate families in the past.

Many people in East Sea City were puzzled by this.

Not just them, even the Liu Family members were utterly baffled.

No one knew who was behind the scenes, making the wedding so grand.
