Xiao Mingyue threw away the phone in her hand and waited for a while, but Li Feng's second call never came.
"Bastard."
"You're the one who came to me for help, and now you have an attitude. Would it kill you to call me again?"
Xiao Mingyue gritted her teeth.
After a while, she still reached for the phone she had tossed to the side and dialed the number that had been cut off.
Beep, beep beep.
The call connected after two rings.
"Speak, what do you want from me."
Xiao Mingyue's voice was cold and sharp.
"It's nothing major, I just wanted to ask about that Heavenly Dragon Group boss Duan Rui who came to Huacheng today, any secret background or identity he has."
Li Feng said.
"What?"
Xiao Mingyue was taken aback, immediately sitting up; "Duan Rui went to Huacheng."
"Yes, in quite the fashion, arriving by private jet and with all the pomp being ushered into Huacheng, tsk, quite the spectacle."
Li Feng said playfully.
Xiao Mingyue took a deep breath, her mind racing. She hadn't expected Lin Changsheng to send Duan Rui to Huacheng.
This Duan Rui was no ordinary person, not only was he the CEO of the Heavenly Dragon Group, but also Lin Changsheng's right-hand man, holding an extraordinary status.
"What, you don't know either? Forget it, I have things to do, bye."
"Wait."
Xiao Mingyue snapped back to attention, hurriedly stopping Li Feng.
"Li, is this how you ask for help?"
"Ask for help?"
Li Feng chuckled, "I, Li Feng, never ask for help. Xiao Mingyue, you must be mistaken. Whether you choose to tell me or not doesn't matter much to me."
"Where are you now?"
Xiao Mingyue quickly asked, hearing the voice on the phone.
"When a distinguished guest arrives, it's only natural to meet them."
Li Feng replied.
Xiao Mingyue took a deep breath, too concerned to worry about gains or losses: "Li Feng, you're getting too full of yourself, Duan Rui isn't someone you can just push around."
Hearing no response from the other end, Xiao Mingyue grew a bit anxious.
"Li Feng, are you still listening."
"If you're just trying to warn me he's not to be trifled with, then I'm hanging up."
"You."
Xiao Mingyue gritted her teeth, "Fine, then listen carefully, besides being the head of the Heavenly Dragon Group, Duan Rui is also the number one among Lin Changsheng's Thirteen Grand Protectors, known as the Dragon among Lin Changsheng's three great aides."
"As Lin Changsheng's right arm, Duan Rui not only has a sharp mind but also exceptional skills. I've dealt with him, and among the men I've seen, he definitely ranks in the top three."
Li Feng responded with an "oh."
"I'm suddenly curious, where do I rank among the men you know."
"Li Feng, I'm not joking with you."
Xiao Mingyue said, her face flushed.
"Neither am I. After hearing what you said, I'm even more eager to meet this man whom even you, the Demon Queen of Sea City, hold in such high regard."
After hearing this, Xiao Mingyue rolled her eyes, then the phone went silent, as Li Feng had hung up.
"Bastard."
Xiao Mingyue tossed the phone aside, feeling a little miffed, as if Li Feng was a dog biting Lv Dongbin, not recognizing a good person's heart.
This Duan Rui becoming Lin Changsheng's trusted right hand was definitely not an undeserved reputation. Of course, his success had Lin Changsheng's backing, but without some capability, he would have been a useless supporter.
Moreover, Lin Changsheng's current status was significantly aided by these three protégés among the Thirteen Grand Protectors he nurtured, who held at least seventy percent of the power.
Huacheng, Outer Heaven.
This former Outer Heaven Grand Hotel had already been sold by Li Feng to Yun Qi, the eldest young master of the Yun Family in Huacheng.
But Outer Heaven, both in name and personnel top to bottom, remained as before, with just the security manager changing from Bai He to the former deputy manager.
Several luxury cars stopped in front of Outer Heaven, Bai He got out first to open the rear door, and the Dragon Guards from the other cars also disembarked.
Li Feng stepped out of the car and walked into the Outer Heaven Grand Hotel under the escort of numerous Dragon Guard bodyguards.
The current security manager, hearing the doorman's report, hurriedly ran to the lobby.
"Young Master Feng, Manager Bai, Master Qian."
The security manager nodded and bowed to Li Feng in front of him, and Bai He and Wang Qian behind him.
"I hear there's a distinguished guest today, accompanied by several prominent figures from Huacheng."
Wang Qian smiled like a tiger at the security manager, saying.
"Yes, indeed there is. I even wondered who this person is, who could attract so many of our prominent local figures to gather around. It seems they're quite influential."
"Where are they now?"
"Master Qian, please hold on, I'll find out right away."
The security manager also sensed something was amiss, but he didn't dare to play dumb. He used to work closely with Bai He, and although he didn't leave after the hotel was sold, he knew who truly had the say in Huacheng.
After all, the new boss who took over Outer Heaven changed almost no personnel from top to bottom.
That said a lot.
Even if Young Master Feng left, he was still Young Master Feng.
Shortly.
The security manager got the information: "Young Master Feng, Manager Bai, Master Qian, the guests are currently in meeting room number seven."
Upon hearing this, Li Feng directly headed for the elevator shaft, Bai He walked up to the security manager: "You've been with me for a while, you should know what to do."
"Yes."
The security manager nodded repeatedly, instructing through the walkie-talkie for his men to turn off the hotel's internal surveillance and block the signal transmission inside.
Ding.
The elevator doors slowly opened.
Li Feng and his entourage appeared on the ninth floor, where meeting room number seven was located, and as they entered the lobby of this floor, they saw some bodyguards standing outside the meeting room.
Seeing Li Feng and others appear, these bodyguards turned to look.
Several bodyguards exchanged glances and approached to block them.
"Who are you?"
Before this bodyguard finished speaking, Wang Qian stepped forward from behind Li Feng and kicked swiftly.
This bodyguard was immediately kicked back a couple of steps, and the nearby bodyguards stood up, the atmosphere becoming tense.
"Daring to block Young Master Feng on his turf in Huacheng, you're asking for it."
Wang Qian arrogantly glared at the opposition.
"Who are you?"
"Wow, someone who doesn't recognize your Master Qian."
Before Wang Qian could finish, Bai He had caught up, having taken another elevator, and upon seeing the tense standoff, hurried forward.
"I dare anyone to make a move."
Though Wang Qian was quite infamous in Huacheng for his banking business, it had nothing to do with the bodyguard circles, so these bodyguards naturally didn't know Wang Qian.
However, in the bodyguard and security industry, no one didn't recognize Bai He, as he had the largest security company in Huacheng under him.
Among the bodyguards present, some were even Bai He's subordinates.
Seeing Bai He, most of the bodyguards immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Mr. Bai."
