"Who are you?" Luofeng asked.
"Chen Xirui from Jinling Tianhong Company!" Chen Rui was his real name; he had added the character ’Xi’ to it himself.
Luofeng owned Fengshun Investment Company, part of the financial industry circle, and Chen Rui guessed that Luofeng should also be aware of Tianhong Investment Company, right?
However, Luofeng had no idea.
The investment companies Luofeng knew of were just Citi? Morgan? The global behemoths.
As for what trash Tianhong Investment was...
Sorry. He had no clue.
"Never heard of it!" Luofeng said indifferently.
Duanmu Yunji reminded him on the side, "Brother Feng, this company seems to have some reputation. I’ve heard a classmate mention it back in Jinling."
"So this idiotic company, your classmate still knows it? Impressive!" Luofeng said directly.
"You son of a bitch, Tianhong is an idiotic company? Are you joking?" Chen Rui glared at Luofeng and questioned him.
Luofeng chuckled lightly. "I advise you to cool down, or you’ll regret your life choices."
"Rubing, go with Yunji to change clothes. It’s cold out; don’t catch a cold," Luofeng arranged.
"Got it." Qin Rubing nodded.
Kang Min looked at Luofeng with a complicated gaze, then followed Duanmu Yunji and Qin Rubing out.
After they left, Luofeng turned to Wang Qitian. "You should be from the Capital City circle. We’ve eaten together before, haven’t we? So? Tell me what kind of idiot this guy is. Where does he come from? Of course, you can choose not to say anything, but once I find out, everything will be different."
Wang Qitian’s family situation was average. Confronted with Luofeng’s inescapable gaze, he was indeed a bit scared.
How did I get so carried away just now, provoking this demon? What if Luofeng hadn’t encountered major trouble? Or what if he could deal with any big trouble? But in this current situation, I only accompanied Chen Rui here? It seems I’ve drawn his ire as well.
"Brother Feng, it’s like this. My buddy here probably didn’t know that Miss Duanmu is your woman. I just came along with him. He’s from the Chen Family in Jinling; they’re related to the Chen Family here in the Capital City. Economically speaking, the Jinling Chen Family is a bit stronger," Wang Qitian said. Naturally somewhat intimidated by Luofeng, he spilled everything. He really didn’t want to be dragged into this.
And obviously, there was a flaw in his logic. If Chen Rui didn’t know Duanmu Yunji was Luofeng’s woman, was Wang Qitian also claiming ignorance? Regardless, he had clearly backed down.
"Wang Qitian, you Judas! Just a glare from him, and you’re already scared?" Chen Rui berated him from the side.
"So? This time, is it the meddling of Chen Ergou?" Luofeng started to speculate, as that person’s character had always been quite questionable.
Wang Qitian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Accurately speaking, it was Chen Rui who first took an interest in Duanmu Yunji... then he asked Chen Ergou, who suggested he test the waters and see what your current situation is. Moreover, Chen Ergou’s family is bankrupt now, just a stray dog. The one who really wants to deal with you is probably Chen Ergou’s cousin, Chen Hong."
"Heh, interesting," Luofeng scoffed.
Seeing this, Chen Rui was secretly disdainful.
But the very next moment, without any warning, Luofeng slapped Chen Rui across the face.
SMACK!
Chen Rui staggered, his glasses flying off.
"You..." Chen Rui glared at Luofeng angrily, holding himself back only because he knew he was no match for Luofeng in a fight.
"Are you wondering why I dared to hit you?" Luofeng asked.
"I suggest you learn what it means to ’play by the rules.’"
"Duanmu Yunji is my girlfriend. That’s common knowledge; she’s officially mine. And you? You’re trying to steal someone’s girl, you get that?"
"You earned that slap for nothing!" Luofeng spoke, his words taunting and dripping with scorn.
In this society, if the young heirs of two major conglomerates come into conflict, it is often the one on the side of reason who holds the advantage. Clearly, it was the other party who had not played by the rules, hitting on someone else’s beloved girlfriend. And Luofeng, in hitting the other party, was completely justified in his actions.
Why, in ancient times, when rebelling or initiating a war, did they always set up a puppet emperor or find some excuse? It’s all about having a just cause, isn’t it? During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, didn’t King Wu lead a rebellion under the pretext of "cleansing the sovereign’s side" and "executing Chao Cuo"? If you openly rebel, that’s tantamount to dishonoring your ancestors, branding you as an unworthy descendant.
Having the moral high ground and a just cause are indeed very important. Even street thugs calling their buddies to help in a fight have to have been bullied first, right? If you go around bullying others and then get beaten yourself, do you have a just cause? How can you call on your friends to help then?
