Chapter 9

Lin Feng introduced himself to Mr. Chu, and Chu Nantian on the other end deeply remembered the name.

Lin Feng.

“I, the Chu family, can take a step back. However, tell Song Tianqing that if there is another trespass, we won’t be lenient.”

“I will convey the message.” Lin Feng nodded. His phone was on speaker, and both Song Tianqing and Song Xueyan could hear the conversation.

Lin Feng hung up the phone.

Song Xueyan looked at Lin Feng in disbelief.

She never imagined that this one percent of shares could be used to access accounts.

Today, Lin Feng had impressed her.

Lin Feng demonstrated his martial prowess as an “ordinary person,” showcased his miraculous medical skills in curing Grandma Kong, and forced the Chu family to retreat with the shares.

Various performances proved that Lin Feng was a decent fiancé.

Meanwhile, after Chu Nantian hung up the phone, he dialed another number.

“Lift the pressure on the Song family, restore their current business.”

Since the beginning of the year, the Chu family had been pressuring the Song family for over a month. Initially, the Song family had five subsidiaries, but due to banks stopping loans, they fell into a debt crisis and had to sell off their subsidiaries to raise funds.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Chu family acquired four of Song Corporation’s subsidiaries at a low price. Currently, under the Song Corporation, only the Jiangzhou Painting and Calligraphy company remained.

Although Chu Nantian decided to cease the direct pressure on the Song family, he had no intention of returning the four acquired companies.

Blocking the Song family with a vast financial network consumed a considerable amount of Chu International’s resources. The acquisition of these four companies served as interest gained by Chu International from the Song family.

Outside the gates of the Song Corporation,

“Ring ring ring…”

Song Tianqing’s phone suddenly rang.

He answered the call with confusion. “Hello, this is Song Tianqing.”

“Haha, it’s me, Brother Song. The issue earlier was due to our technical problem not meeting the standards. We have re-examined the items, and there is no problem with the goods. I will transfer the final payment now.”

“It turns out it was just a misunderstanding.” Song Tianqing burst into laughter. Both were seasoned individuals, and there was no need to escalate matters unnecessarily.

After exchanging pleasantries, Song Tianqing ended the call.

As soon as he hung up, his phone rang again.

“Mr. Li, is there something you need?” Song Tianqing began another round of formalities.

Seeing this, Song Xueyan called Lin Feng, and the two of them returned to the Song family villa in the car.

On the way,

Lin Feng gazed out of the window at the scenery.

Song Xueyan was driving.

“You really surprised me,” Song Xueyan broke the silence. “Who taught you your medical and martial skills?”

“My grandfather taught me medicine, and I learned self-defense martial arts when I was younger,” Lin Feng replied before Song Xueyan could ask further. “We used to go into the mountains to gather herbs, and since there were many wild beasts, my grandfather taught me martial arts for self-defense.”

Observing Lin Feng’s subtle expressions through the rearview mirror, Song Xueyan found that he wasn’t lying.

“By the way, Song…”

“Call me Yan Yan.”

“Okay.” Lin Feng nodded and continued, “Yan Yan, I wanted to ask, what did Mr. Chu mean by ‘bringing about one’s own destruction’?”

This was a question lingering in Lin Feng’s mind.

Chu Nantian had mentioned on the phone that the Song family was self-destructing.

“It’s not much, just that the Song family touched the bottom-line of the Chu family, and the Chu family is suppressing the Song family in return,” Song Xueyan casually explained.

“Can you tell me more about the specific situation?”

Lin Feng sensed a juicy story and immediately became interested.

“I can’t.”

Song Xueyan coldly refused, returning to her icy demeanor.

Lin Feng shrugged, reluctant to inquire further.

Gaining information was important, but his own life was even more important.

For some reason, Lin Feng’s mind kept replaying the image of the stone being crushed by Song Xueyan.

Lin Feng quietly unlocked his phone.

Just because Song Xueyan didn’t tell him mean Lin Feng wouldn’t investigate on his own.

Both the Song and Chu families were top ten enterprises in Jiangzhou.

There must be related reports online regarding their conflict.

Lin Feng performed a quick search in the internet.

Numerous pages popped up instantly. Lin Feng realized why Chu Nantian said the Song family was digging its own grave.

The Chu family is a behemoth family in Jiangzhou.

In a nutshell, the Chu family is known as the policy in Jiangzhou. Chu family’s real estate tycoon in Jiangzhou, controlling 80% of the properties in the city. Its subsidiaries are involved in various construction industries.

If the real estate in Jiangzhou is considered a big cake, the Song family is the one who wants a piece of it. The Song Group has two construction companies, and the Chu family turns a blind eye to it. Surprisingly, the latest addition to the Song Group is a real estate company.

This undoubtedly encroaches on the Chu family’s real estate interest.

Under the orders of Chu’s chairman, Chu Nantian, the eldest son Chu Qiu took action to suppress the second-tier Song family. During this process, Chu Qiu unexpectedly noticed Song Xueyan, this peerlessly beautiful woman.

As a result, Chu Qiu began pursuing Song Xueyan.

“After reading, what do you think?” Song Xueyan calmly asked while driving.

“Song’s family is really formidable!” Lin Feng instinctively raised his thumbs up. He initially thought it was the Chu family bullying others, but it turned out that the Song family had stirred up trouble by touching the Chu family’s real estate territory.

Suddenly, Lin Feng’s expression changed.

“How did you know what I was looking at?” he asked somewhat nervously.

Lin Feng felt like he had no secrets in front of Song Xueyan.

“I could tell from your expressions.”

“Awesome!” Lin Feng gave her a thumbs up.

At the same time,

Lin Feng quietly logged into a certain platform and ordered a book titled “Mastering Expression Management.” He decided to learn expression management so that he wouldn’t fear Song Xueyan.

At Chu’s International,

After a round of passionate moments with his secretary Xiao Qian, Chu Qiu fell asleep in his office. When he woke up again, it was already seven in the evening.

Chu Qiu unlocked his phone.

The screen showed a bunch of missed calls.

Chu Qiu found that his grandfather, Chu Nantian, had also called him. Delighted, he quickly returned the call.

“Grandpa, the Song family is definitely going bankrupt tomorrow.”

“I have acquired four of Song’s family’s industries. Now, there’s only one useless art company left,” Chu Qiu couldn’t help but boast.

On the other end of the phone, Chu Nantian’s voice sounded grim, “I have already lifted the suppression on the Song family. Now, our feud with the Song family is settled.”

“Why!” Chu Qiu couldn’t help but get angry.

In his imagination, after he woke up, there should have been news of the Song family’s downfall, not the Chu family lifting its suppression on them.

“The son-in-law of the Song family has obtained a one percent stake in the Chu family from Murong Hao’s hands.”

“A one percent stake?” Chu Qiu sneers, “So what? Even if he sells the shares, they’re only worth a few million. The bank has stopped lending to the Song family, and with the court judgments coming, those few million won’t be enough to cover the holes we layed.”

As Chu Qiu speaks, he toys with his seductive secretary Xiao Qian beneath him.

The latter keeps panting.

“The son-in-law of the Song family doesn’t plan to sell the shares but wants to audit Chu International. He intends to confront us head-on,” warns Chu Nantian coldly. “I’m warning you, the matter with the Song family ends here. Don’t bring trouble to me again.”

After saying this, Chu Nantian hangs up the phone.

Holding the phone, Chu Qiu takes a while to react. He immediately throws the phone to the ground and curses angrily:

“Damn!”

Chu Qiu has gradually taken over Chu International in recent years.

He knows the state of Chu International’s accounts. If Lin Feng investigates deeply, he will surely discover a heap of problems. When exposed by the media, with official investigations from the authorities…

Chu Qiu dare not imagine the consequences.

“Lin Feng!”

Chu Qiu clenches his fists tightly, veins popping on his face. Thinking of the two slaps from Lin Feng last night, he wishes he could tear him apart!

From childhood to adulthood, he has been the high and mighty young master of Chu International. Everyone treats him with deference and flattery, and he has never experienced the taste of humiliation.

But just yesterday, Lin Feng, the son-in-law of the Song family, made him feel humiliated repeatedly. From the two slaps last night to the failure of suppressing the Song family today, Chu Qiu now regards Lin Feng as a thorn in his side.

Chu Qiu dials a phone number.

“Xiao Zhao, I heard you mention last time that you have contact with an overseas assassin organization. Now, give me their contact information. I need to deal with someone.”

Soon enough, Chu Qiu obtains the assassin’s contact information.

He sends Lin Feng’s information to them, and they quickly take the job.

Putting down the phone, a contemptuous smile appears on Chu Qiu’s face as he sneers, “Lin Feng, in Jiangzhou, no one dares to offend my Chu family. Your fate will be the same as your father’s.”

Chu Qiu’s expression becomes increasingly ferocious.
