"Keep in touch, and report any news from Leng Feng at any time."
Lin Changsheng waved his hand, dismissing the unnecessary people. Quickly, the people in the room turned and left.
"Mingyue, you stay."
Xiao Mingyue, who was about to turn, stopped in her tracks. In no time, the room was empty.
"Master."
Xiao Mingyue raised her eyes to look at Lin Changsheng, who was sitting on the sofa. Although he appeared kind and gentle, this made her all the more uneasy.
After all, how could a normal person remain so calm when their son was kidnapped? They would have been frantic by now.
"This Li Feng, you know him, right?"
Lin Changsheng looked at Xiao Mingyue and asked.
"Yes, Master, I've had dealings with him a few times." Xiao Mingyue lowered her head, pondering over the intention behind Lin Changsheng's question.
Of course, Xiao Mingyue didn't plan to tell Lin Changsheng that Li Feng's actions in Zhongtian were not for Lin Wanzhou, but for him, Lin Changsheng.
"I heard that today, you took this Li Feng to the Summer Villa in the valley, and after he returned from the villa, he immediately kidnapped my son. What do you think Li Feng is planning?"
Lin Changsheng asked straightforwardly.
Xiao Mingyue was no naive girl; she had expected this for some time now. The other party had established the Longevity Sect and woven a terrifying network of connections.
It was almost impossible to conceal her whereabouts from him.
"Yes, Master, I did take Li Feng to the Summer Villa, and I also introduced him to Qin Wannian and others."
"But the reason I took him there was mainly because Li Feng is quite a stirrer. The case with Century Group shocked everyone. He managed to pocket hundreds of billions, even trillions, from it."
"That's why our circle has developed a strong interest in Li Feng. We even conducted a special investigation on him, which revealed that he is indeed a business prodigy."
"In Huacheng, he is nicknamed the Hidden Dragon, orchestrating the business world from behind the scenes, and when he entered Sea City, he clashed with me repeatedly. I couldn't do anything to him."
"This guy indeed has skills, so if we can't deal with him, we might as well try to make him our friend. This is also a principle you taught me, Master."
"So this time, after meeting Li Feng, I took him to the Summer Villa because he recently established a New Century Group and seemed to have a new project. We all wanted to get involved."
"You know, I have a lot of capital in my hands but not many investment channels."
Xiao Mingyue said as she raised her head, biting her cherry lips: "Who knew this guy wouldn't appreciate it? After leaving the villa and returning to the city, he kidnapped Wanzhou. I was also shocked when I heard about this."
Lin Changsheng looked at the pitiful expression on Xiao Mingyue's face: "I naturally trust you, not to mention that you have no reason to target Wanzhou."
"I'm asking you not because I suspect you, but because I want to know, since you've had several interactions with Li Feng, what is your understanding of him, and what do you think his motive is for kidnapping my son, Wanzhou?"
Lin Changsheng's expression remained unchanged, revealing nothing of his emotions.
Xiao Mingyue furrowed her brows and said, "If you want to describe Li Feng, he gives off the impression of a knife."
"Oh?"
Xiao Mingyue continued, "When sheathed, this person is very low-key. Despite his position and status, he could still become a live-in son-in-law, which shows immense scheming. Who could imagine he would debase himself to such an extent?"
"Ordinary people, even if they have hundreds of billions, would flaunt it for fear others wouldn't know they are a tycoon. But a year ago, this person was only known by reputation, never seen in person, truly a dragon only appearing when necessary."
"Yet when this guy is unsheathed, he shows his sharpness, making it impossible to ignore. He easily caused a corporation in Huacheng with assets exceeding billions to collapse, bringing down the city's top real estate developer directly."
"Afterwards, he got involved with the Century Group. Although no one knows how he operated, I also couldn't figure out how he did it. But the result, you must have heard, was that six months later, Century Group no longer existed, and the New Century Group quietly emerged."
"Meanwhile, through manipulating public opinion, this person concealed himself, making everyone believe he was a kept man hitting the jackpot by luck."
"Without understanding this person, one could indeed be misled by public opinion, truly believing he was a kept man, put out as a puppet."
"But who would know that all of this was orchestrated by him."
"The Hidden Dragon, hidden in the palace but truly hidden in the market, his flamboyant yet low-key demeanor makes him hard to see through."
Xiao Mingyue said a lot in one breath, expressing what she genuinely thought.
"You hold a high opinion of this Li Feng."
Lin Changsheng squinted at Xiao Mingyue. This female disciple always had high standards, making it hard for ordinary men to catch her eye, let alone linger their gaze for an extra second.
Even his own useless son, Lin Wanzhou, couldn't make her take notice.
Xiao Mingyue blushed slightly: "Master, although I don't want to admit it, this person indeed has extraordinary qualities."
Lin Changsheng made a sound of acknowledgment: "Then tell me why he kidnapped Wanzhou."
Xiao Mingyue pondered for a moment and looked at Lin Changsheng: "Master, to my knowledge, Lin Wanzhou had a conflict with Li Feng in Sea City over a woman."
"Moreover, this involves another person, Xu Ziang of the Xu Family."
"From what I know, Xu Ziang had his lower body crippled by Li Feng, becoming a eunuch. Xu Ziang's mother was very angry and sent someone to kill Li Feng."
"I think this Li Feng might be feeling the threat from the Xu Family."
Lin Changsheng made a sound of acknowledgment: "Feeling a threat from the Xu Family, he kidnapped my son. How does that make sense?"
Xiao Mingyue inhaled silently. Did this old man want her to spell it out, even though he had guessed it?
"Master, based on your reputation, while the Xu Family keeps a low profile, could Li Feng be trying to back down and wants to request you to mediate?"
Xiao Mingyue said.
Hearing this, Lin Changsheng laughed: "Are you saying he wants to back down to the Xu Family and hopes to ask me to mediate, yet he went ahead and kidnapped my son?"
"Why would he think I would help him? Does he really think he can just squeeze me like a soft persimmon?"
Xiao Mingyue gave a dry cough.
"Master, Li Feng is essentially quite arrogant. I think the reason he did this is that he believes the money he has is enough to offer a price to make you drop your grudges."
"He chopped off one of my son's little fingers, thinking money could buy my silence on the matter."
A fierce glint flashed in Lin Changsheng's eyes.
Xiao Mingyue also felt a chill watching that look, wondering if she'd said too much.
"Master, please don't lose your temper. I'm just speculating. Li Feng's mind is very tricky and really hard to grasp, plus he actually wants you to go to Huacheng to rescue someone, even assuming an equal stance with you."
