Chapter 20

Lin Feng smacked his lips, savoring the scene that had just unfolded.

“So fragrant… so soft…”

Unconsciously, Lin Feng found himself seated in a taxi, heading back to the Song family villa.

When Lin Feng returned to the vicinity of the Song family villa, it was already half-past ten at night. He stood outside the gate, feeling hesitant about entering. Lin Feng didn’t know how to face the members of the Song family.

“I’ve been at the Song residence for three days, returning late every night…” Just as Lin Feng hesitated, the villa’s gate was opened by none other than his fiancée, Song Xueyan.

“Yanyan, what a coincidence. Aren’t you asleep yet?”

Song Xueyan looked at Lin Feng in silence. Lin Feng felt like his whole body was being exposed under her gaze, making him shudder involuntarily.

“Back quite early,” she remarked.

“Uh…” Lin Feng scratched his head, not daring to say much. Song Xueyan seemed to be making a sarcastic remark, and Lin Feng didn’t want to walk into that trap.

Seeing Lin Feng had nothing to say, Song Xueyan turned and went back into the villa. Lin Feng obediently followed, making his footsteps as silent as possible.

When a woman was in a bad mood, a man’s breath became a crime.

“The kitchen has some leftovers. Heat them up yourself.”

Song Xueyan sat on the sofa, arms crossed, watching TV.

Lin Feng cautiously entered the kitchen to heat up the leftovers. Although it was labeled as leftovers, no one had touched the food; obviously, it was specially left for him.

“Aunt Su is really good to me…” Lin Feng felt a warm sentiment in his heart.

Since Lin Feng was very young, his mother had passed away, and his father had to work hard to support him and his two younger sisters’ education. His father was always busy with work, so Lin Feng had been lacking parental love from a young age.

When Lin Feng came to the Song family, he could genuinely feel that Mr. and Mrs. Song sincerely treated him well, considering him as their own son.

On the other side, Song Xueyan sat on the sofa, watching Lin Feng heat up the food in the kitchen. A strange look appeared in her eyes.

When she opened the villa’s door a moment ago, Song Xueyan once again smelled that perfume, the same one used by her good friend Xia Shiyu.

Reviewing the evidence she had, Song Xueyan believed that Lin Feng had just been with Xia Shiyu. As for what they were doing, Song Xueyan had no idea.

“Going to sleep…” Feeling increasingly agitated, Song Xueyan got up and headed to her room on the second floor.

“Who’s up so early?” Lin Feng blurted out.

The next moment, Lin Feng felt the cold gaze of Song Xueyan. “If you think it’s early, you can go out for a stroll. Also, clean your face!”

With that, Song Xueyan angrily closed the door to sleep.

Lin Feng looked baffled.

“Weird.” Lin Feng muttered to himself, then wolfed down his meal. After a busy night, he could finally enjoy a satisfying dinner.

Meanwhile,

At the Chu Family Manor,

Chu Qiu, the eldest young master of the Chu family, looked at the latest messages on his phone. Lin Feng and Song Xueyan encountered an assassin at the Moonlit Lake, and at a critical moment, the Dragon Pavilion intervened and killed the assassin.

“This assassin organization is really bold, daring to kill in broad daylight!” Chu Qiu sincerely admired. “Doesn’t he know that there’s the Dragon Pavilion in Great Xia?”

Chu Qiu subconsciously believed that the old man from the Mei family was the assassin sent by the organization, unaware that the blonde assassin he had hired had already met his demise the previous night.

“What a damn waste, causing such a big commotion. Does he want to kill me?” Chu Qiu cursed inwardly and logged back into the assassin organization’s backstage.

There was a string of unread messages.

Chu Qiu clicked on the messages, and inside were a bunch of English texts. These English texts were no problem for Chu Qiu, and he quickly understood the content.

[Task failed, reward refunded by thirty percent.]

“Damn!” Chu Qiu cursed, “Killing someone in public, and you still call it a failure? What a trash assassin organization, being so inefficient even when killing one person.”

Chu Qiu grumbled.

Chu International, as the leading enterprise in Jiangzhou, has an immense background. While the Mei family is considered a second-rate clan with peak-level cultivators, the foundation of Chu International is even more formidable.

However, Chu International has its own restricted zone.

They cannot deploy the family’s cultivators, as they are the trump cards of Chu International. If Chu Qiu mobilizes family cultivators to kill Lin Feng, it will inevitably anger the Dragon Pavilion.

At that point, Chu International will become a thing of the past.

“I must kill Lin Feng!” Chu Qiu clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his face. He wished he could bite Lin Feng to death with his back teeth.

Suddenly, he saw a message in the lower right corner.

【Increase the reward, and more powerful assassins will be sent to kill the target.】

“It’s you!” Without hesitation, Chu Qiu clicked the link. “The Chu family is wealthy, and money is not a problem.”

Then, Chu Qiu once again transferred a whopping five million US dollars to the foreign assassin organization.

Having completed everything, Chu Qiu lay on the bed satisfied.

He dialed a number, a wicked smile on his face. “Xiao Qian, come over to see me. Young Master will treat you to something delicious…”

“Young Master is so naughty~” Xiao Qian’s voice came through the phone, sweet enough to melt into Chu Qiu’s bones.

…………..

Mei Family.

Outside the Mei Family Manor, dozens of armored vehicles arrived.

As the vehicles stopped, over a hundred special forces surrounded the Mei Family Manor, all equipped with refined weapons and each possessing a cultivation level in the Body Refinement Realm.

Zhao Jing, dressed in black, walked at the forefront with sunglasses on.

Mei Group’s Mei Limo was currently being escorted by two special forces members to Zhao Jing’s presence.

“Captain Zhao, what is the meaning of this?”

Mei Limo looked at Zhao Jing with a dark expression. He knew Zhao Jing’s identity, so he didn’t send cultivators to resist.

“Director Mei, I think you should be more aware than I am,” Zhao Jing said coldly. “Your Mei family secretly cultivating cultivators is the first crime! Sending cultivators to publicly commit murder is the second crime! using a Desert Eagle pistol, causing social panic, is the third crime!”

Zhao Jing listed a series of crimes that the Mei family had committed. Initially, Mei Limo was defiant, but his face gradually turned pale.

“Director Mei, I know you are a smart person. We are just doing our duty. Higher-ups want us to find the real mastermind behind this, and I hope Director Mei cooperates.”

Mei Limo frowned, hesitating.

After a long time, he said, “Captain Zhao, promise me that as long as I reveal the real mastermind, you will spare the Mei family.”

“You don’t have the qualifications to negotiate with me.”

Mei Limo’s face looked grim. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Forget it!”

“Captain Zhao, I want to report my son! The killer at Mingyue Lake is my son, Mei Wenhua. He orchestrated it behind the scenes, seeking revenge on Lin Feng, the son-in-law of the Song family.”

Mei Limo made a tough decision, reporting his own son.

Now that the Mei family is the leader among second-rate clans, Mei Limo is a competent businessman who understands complex relationships. If he takes the blame for his son Mei Wenhua, he would end up in prison.

The vast Mei Group would fall into the hands of his prodigal son, and within three years, the Mei Group would undoubtedly perish.

On the other hand, if he reports his son, Mei Limo would only lose a wayward son. His own physical condition is perfectly fine, he could still make someone pregnant no problem, by then maybe he’s second son would be much better than the current one.

Meanwhile, Mei Wenhua was brought over in custody.

Zhao Jing looked at the trembling Mei Wenhua and said coldly, “Mei Wenhua, your father reported that you ordered the assassin to kill Lin Feng, the son-in-law of the Song family. The evidence is conclusive. Do you have anything to say?”

Mei Wenhua’s face changed immediately.

He looked up at his father and angrily shouted, “Mei Limo, damn you!”
