"Are you trying to start a financial war?" Chen Rui gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Ha, you? You’re just a moron, you know. Chen Ergou, that bankrupt young master, has been playing you for a fool." Luofeng didn’t hold back in his insults.
Sold out by someone and still counting money for them? It was like an idiot’s mother opening the door for an idiot—utter idiocy.
"You look down on me, huh? Fine. Your newly established Fengshun Investment, just you wait," Chen Rui said, covering his face. He’d taken a slap and was furious, but he remained rational.
"Sure, I’ll wait for your retaliation!" Luofeng said with a faint smile.
After Chen Rui left, he dialed Chen Ergou’s number. "Chen Ergou, you dog, are you scheming against me?"
"Chen Rui, what are you talking about?"
"Still playing the fucking fool? Isn’t Wang Qitian your cousin and your former lapdog? Betraying his master, you know?"
"Please let me explain."
"Gun!"
Chen Rui slammed the phone down.
「Meanwhile」
Chen Ergou put down his phone, a cold smile on his lips. He already knew about the situation between Luofeng and Chen Rui. Luofeng, are you still so confident? Chen Ergou then sighed. "Your Fengshun Investment has long been out of money. The international gold market has utterly ruined you. What else can you possibly do?"
「Elsewhere」
At the official TV station, in the makeup room backstage at the Violin and Piano Competition, Luofeng, having handled matters, naturally went to find the two beauties.
Duanmu Yunji was the first to ask with concern, "Is everything taken care of?"
"It’s handled. The other party recognized their mistake, apologized, and even offered to treat me to a meal. I told them it wasn’t necessary and let them off the hook," Luofeng said.
"Oh, Luo the Immortal..." Duanmu Yunji knew from his tone that he wasn’t telling the truth.
Luofeng walked over to Duanmu Yunji, reaching out to caress her cheek. "Truly beautiful and vibrant. No wonder someone has taken a liking to you."
Duanmu Yunji hesitated. "Did I cause you a lot of trouble?"
"Hey, what are you thinking? It’s really just a small matter," Luofeng said, pinching her lovely cheek.
Actually, it really was a small matter. But Luofeng was prepared to make a big deal out of it.
Around ten fifty in the morning, Luofeng returned to the apartment with Duanmu Yunji and Qin Rubing. "Yunji, Rubing, you two eat at home for lunch today. I’m planning to meet up with Chen Dali and the others."
"Is it because of what happened today?" Duanmu Yunji asked.
Luofeng sat on the sofa and beckoned to Duanmu Yunji.
She obediently sat on his lap, nestling into his embrace. This ’lap cat’ was an extra-large one.
"Yunji, don’t overthink it. Today’s incident might seem to be aimed at you, but it’s actually aimed at me," Luofeng said, kissing the corner of Duanmu Yunji’s mouth.
"Even if it weren’t, I’m your boyfriend; of course, I have to protect you," Luofeng said with a wicked grin. "If you really feel bad about it, then help me hold Rubing down."
Duanmu Yunji immediately understood Luofeng’s meaning and huffed, "In your dreams."
Qin Rubing also retorted, "You’re just so full of routines, hmph!"
"Alright, I’m heading out. I’ll be back this afternoon," Luofeng said.
"Mm-hm," Duanmu Yunji nodded.
Qin Rubing also nodded in agreement.
Once Luofeng stepped out of the suite, he called Chen Ergou.
Chen Ergou answered his phone very quickly.
"Indeed, it’s been a while, Brother Ergou," Luofeng replied.
This time, Chen Ergou had brought Chen Rui, and Chen Hong was also present. Li Zimu, Duanmu Feng, and others were there too—all old acquaintances, indeed.
"Everyone, since we all have things to attend to today, let’s toast with tea instead of alcohol."
"When I first came to Capital City, I was very grateful for everyone’s help and support."
Luofeng took another sip of tea, then his tone shifted. "Brother Chen Hong, although it seems we’ve only dined together twice, you left a deep impression on me. I’ll raise this cup to you alone and wish you a future as bright as brocade."
"Yes, thank you. I also wish Brother Feng smooth sailing from now on," Chen Hong replied.
The two drank another cup of tea.
"Brother Chen Hong, this must be Chen Rui, then?" Luofeng asked, feigning ignorance.
He also knew that their Tianhong Investment was an investment company worth over a trillion dollars, established over twenty years ago.
"Well, Brother Feng, you should already know he’s Chen Rui. Why bother asking?" Chen Hong didn’t answer directly.
"Heh!" Luofeng chuckled softly.
He had drunk the tea of parting with these people. Now, there was no need to be polite any longer.
"Brother Chen Hong, I’ll be direct today. Due to some of Chen Rui’s inappropriate actions, I am very displeased," Luofeng stated.
"So what if you’re displeased? What’s it got to do with me?" Chen Rui retorted directly.
"Heh," Luofeng smiled faintly. "I’ve heard that some friends have invested a considerable amount of money in Tianhong Investment. I want to make it clear here: I am not targeting those investors, only Tianhong Investment. Fengshun Investment will, the day after tomorrow, formally implement a targeted plan against Tianhong Investment!"
Talking is often pointless. It’s better to act directly. That was Luofeng’s way. He had announced in advance that he was only targeting this river. As for the small fish and shrimp in it, they should scatter on their own. If they got caught in the crossfire, they couldn’t blame Luofeng for not warning them. This approach should be fine, right?
