At this moment, Liu Qingsong jumped out with a look of disdain, "That loser, didn't I beat him? Why do we have to bring him along?"
Obviously, by this time, he was still ignorant of the truth.
"Beat him? Do you honestly have no clue about the situation?" Liu Xue sneered back, "His top-grade violet is worth at least thirty million."
"As for the one you got by cheating, even twelve million is too much."
"Don't think you can twist the truth just because of your status..." Liu Qingsong wanted to argue with Liu Xue.
"Enough!" But before he could finish, Mrs. Liu Sr. interrupted, "Thinking about the way those people look at me, where can I hide my old face?"
"I paved such a good path for you, yet you still lost; it's truly disappointing, now shut up!"
Mrs. Liu Sr. vented all her previously suppressed anger on Liu Qingsong.
With his grandmother's words, Liu Qingsong finally realized what Liu Xue said was true.
Originally, all of this was his grandmother's manipulation, only then could he defeat Ye Feng; otherwise, he would have lost miserably.
After scolding Liu Qingsong, Mrs. Liu Sr. looked at Liu Xue and spoke in a negotiating tone, "Qingsong is, after all, blood of the Liu Family. He must show his face in such matters."
"Besides, Ye Feng has some good luck, let him sneak along and listen to his advice; what do you think?"
"No... I absolutely won't agree." Liu Xue shook her head without hesitation.
Although Ye Feng is useless, being so belittled and used by the Liu Family, Liu Xue would never consent to it.
Seeing Liu Xue's refusal, Mrs. Liu Sr. threatened, "Do you want to harm the Liu Family's interests? Do you still want to be the chairman?"
According to Liu Xue's temperament, she would never agree no matter what.
But Liu Xue thought of those at home, each enjoying their lives now so much.
If she loses the chairman position and they have to return to their previous lifestyle, they would say it's better to just die.
The invisible pressure forced Liu Xue to compromise...
Meanwhile, after finishing his meal, Ye Feng had just tidied up the table when he received a call from his good buddy Gui Zi.
Gui Zi, whose real name is Li Lingui, is a close friend of Ye Feng.
When Ye Feng needed money, without a word, he sold his own car to help Ye Feng gather two hundred thousand.
For this, he even fought with his wife and nearly got a divorce.
So, seeing that it was Gui Zi's call, Ye Feng answered immediately without a second thought, curiously asking, "Gui Zi, what made you think of calling me?"
Once the call connected, an unfamiliar man's voice came through the line:
"Are you his friend? This punk damaged my antique, and you have half an hour to bring the money and save him, or we can't promise what might happen."
Hearing Gui Zi was in trouble, Ye Feng immediately panicked and loudly warned, "Where are you guys? I'll come right away. I'm warning you, be nice to my buddy, or you'll answer to me."
Upon inquiry, the other party revealed an address.
The location was a shop called Phantom Cloud Studio on Antique Street, an old establishment.
"Little sister, your illness hasn't fully recovered. Rest well at home and don't do anything. I'm going out for a bit." After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng instructed Ye Qian.
Seeing that Ye Feng looked a bit flustered, Ye Qian quickly asked, "What's going on?"
"Gui Zi is in trouble, I'm going to save him," Ye Feng answered truthfully.
"Ah? What happened to Brother Gui Zi?" Hearing Ye Feng's words, Ye Qian also panicked.
"Everything's fine, don't worry, rest well. I'll go check it out." After a brief reassurance, Ye Feng took some money and headed straight to Antique Street.
This money was all that Ye Feng could gather; it was the ten thousand repaid by Chen Long.
If this wasn't enough, Ye Feng would have to find a way to earn more quickly.
Upon entering Phantom Cloud Studio, the shop assistant glanced at Ye Feng and asked, "Are you here to save someone?"
"Yeah! Where is he?" Ye Feng nodded.
"Follow me!" The other responded dismissively and led Ye Feng to the backyard.
The shop had a backyard, and it was quite large, designed like a small garden with hills, water, and many precious plants and trees.
In the center of the yard, a person was being held down on their knees.
Ye Feng stepped closer and, who else could it be but Gui Zi?
"Let him go!" Seeing Gui Zi being bullied, Ye Feng was instantly enraged.
When the others hesitated, Ye Feng rushed over, pushed them away, and pulled Gui Zi up.
"Madman, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have dragged you into this." Seeing Ye Feng, Gui Zi cried and apologized.
Hearing this, Ye Feng immediately became upset and scolded, "What are you saying? Your problem is my problem. We're brothers, closer than real brothers."
"Alright, if you two want to bond over feelings, there'll be plenty of time later. Did you bring the money?" At that moment, the leader of the group coldly interrupted their conversation.
Ye Feng glanced at him.
The man looked to be in his fifties, wearing a hat from the Republican era and a blue coat, clearly the shopkeeper here.
Ye Feng didn't respond to him but instead looked at the injuries on Gui Zi's face and calmly asked, "Who hit you?"
Hearing Ye Feng's question, a burly man nearby contemptuously replied, "It was me, you satisfied now?"
"Satisfied!" Ye Feng nodded slightly.
"Heh! Coward." Seeing Ye Feng remain unfazed, everyone laughed, showing immense disdain.
"Then kneel for me." However, at that moment, Ye Feng made his move, his speed incredibly fast.
Before anyone could react, the burly man flew into the air and crashed onto the floor not far away.
Most astonishingly, the man genuinely landed in a kneeling position, with his knees slamming into the floor, breaking it.
"Gasp! He's tough! Impressive!" Seeing this scene, everyone was scared.
The burly man who infuriated Ye Feng dared not speak again.
"Since when did the madman become this strong?" Gui Zi was also stunned by the scene, amazed by Ye Feng's strength.
The shopkeeper frowned and coldly asked, "Did you come here to cause trouble?"
"Cause trouble?" Ye Feng sneered, somewhat dissatisfied, "Damaging your item? Pay for it, sure, but why beat him up?"
"I warned you to treat my brother nicely, or face the consequences. But you didn't listen, so how can you blame me?"
Suddenly, an aura of authority enveloped Ye Feng, making the others dare not retort.
In everyone's eyes, Ye Feng appeared incredibly formidable at that moment...
