Ling Feng had already seen Zhang Ning's face clearly.
Although more than ten years had passed, Ling Feng could still recognize that this Zhang Ning was his junior high school classmate.
In his memory, Zhang Ning had always been sickly, his complexion pale and lacking color.
This was basically Zhang Ning's defining characteristic.
Now, it seemed this had not changed at all!
In fact, it had gotten even worse!
Ling Feng hadn't expected Zhang Ning to recognize him, especially since his appearance had changed so much!
"Zhang Ning, hello, long time no see."
A smile appeared on Ling Feng's face, and he nodded slightly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ning reacted as if he had been stepped on, immediately rushing towards the two bodyguards behind him!
"Quick, quick, notify the Chairman, the person the Chairman is looking for has broken in! And they assaulted someone!"
The two bodyguards were stunned by Zhang Ning's words. They exchanged glances, and one of them grabbed Zhang Ning and headed towards the Chairman's office.
The other one intercepted Ling Feng and Yang Fei.
"What's going on?" Yang Fei was completely bewildered, not understanding what had happened!
It was clear that Ling Feng knew the other party, and they had even called out each other's names.
How could such a scene unfold in the next moment?
Ling Feng also looked puzzled, glancing at Zhang Ning's retreating figure with a thoughtful expression!
"Stop, who are you? Why did you assault someone? Don't you know that everyone who comes up to this floor, except the Chairman, needs an appointment?"
The bodyguard's expression was stern as he questioned Ling Feng and Yang Fei. He didn't attack directly, but remained on high alert, clearly sensing that the two might be formidable!
Yang Fei was even more incensed!
When they had come up earlier, they were intercepted on the lower floors.
Yang Fei had heard the same words several times; in short, the other party had been blocking Ling Feng and Yang Fei from ascending.
Yang Fei could tolerate it, but the person who brought him here was Ling Feng, the true master of Lingtian Group!
It was as if Ling Feng were merely strolling through his own backyard, only to be stopped by a group of gardeners, who were even taunting him.
This infuriated Yang Fei, and he immediately took action against the two who had spoken disrespectfully.
Thus, the previous scene occurred, with those two still lying on the ground, struggling to even breathe!
Ling Feng naturally noticed Yang Fei's actions. He hadn't stopped Yang Fei earlier because the two individuals lying at their feet had spoken disrespectfully!
However, the bodyguard in front of them showed some discernment, at least not attacking immediately!
Therefore, Ling Feng still reached out to restrain Yang Fei.
"I shouldn't need an appointment to be here. If you don't believe me, you can ask your Chairman."
Ling Feng's words were calm, yet they exuded immense confidence and the imposing aura of a superior!
The bodyguard's brows furrowed immediately.
They were Tang Zhao's personal bodyguards and had been by his side for a long time. Naturally, they could tell who not to offend!
With Ling Feng's demeanor, his status was likely not simple!
"Even if you two have extraordinary backgrounds, assaulting someone is still wrong! Please explain the situation!"
The bodyguard instinctively blocked them, feeling that Ling Feng and Yang Fei were dangerous individuals, and it was best to keep them detained for now!
Of course, this was also a delaying tactic. Once Tang Zhao appeared, he could naturally identify these two individuals!
Seeing the bodyguard still questioning them, Yang Fei snorted coldly, "Hmph, nonsense. These two dared to speak disrespectfully to my elder brother, so I merely taught them a small lesson. It's already considered lenient. I advise you not to continue blocking the way. Even if Tang Zhao were here, he wouldn't dare..."
As Yang Fei's words became increasingly arrogant, the bodyguard's expression grew more displeased.
Ling Feng, however, reached out and intercepted Yang Fei's remaining words.
There was no point in saying such useless things!
More importantly, Tang Zhao's identity was now completely different; he was Ling Feng's father-in-law.
He was also Ling Niannian's maternal grandfather.
Ling Feng had few relatives growing up, so he valued family bonds immensely!
Otherwise, if Ling Feng had to endure such obstruction to enter, he might have fired them on the spot.
After all, as the helmsman of the company, it was Tang Zhao's oversight that the employees below didn't even recognize his face!
Of course, Ling Feng didn't think it was Tang Zhao's oversight now. Instead, he felt it was Tang Zhao's security measure to protect his identity!
Doesn't that sound comforting?
Heh, this was the bond of family.
The perception of the same events could lead to two different directions and outcomes!
At this moment, Tang Zhao clearly sensed the commotion outside and walked out, pushing open the door.
In his haste, Zhang Ning collided directly with Tang Zhao!
The force was not small, and Tang Zhao, caught off guard, was almost knocked to the ground. It was only thanks to the quick reflexes of a nearby bodyguard that Tang Zhao was steadied!
"Chairman, are you alright?"
The bodyguard asked with concern!
Beside them, Zhang Ning was terrified. He had just delivered a "heart-piercing blow" to the Chairman's chest. Was he seeking death?
He probably deserved the title of "Annual Death-Seeking Champion" of Lingtian Group!
"Chairman, I, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose, I... I wanted to tell you that the Ling Feng you were looking for, he's here, he's killed his way up!"
Zhang Ning stammered, urgently explaining the situation outside, as if trying to distract Tang Zhao with this matter.
Tang Zhao had initially been annoyed by Zhang Ning's reckless behavior.
But upon hearing Zhang Ning's words, his eyes widened.
"What did you say? Killed his way up?!"
Tang Zhao trembled all over, subconsciously thinking that he might have done something wrong that had completely angered Ling Feng!
Most importantly, he knew from his daughter, Tang Ru, about Ling Feng's relationship with Lin Siqi.
Now that Lin Siming was in such serious trouble, he had previously known that Lin Siming might be Lin Siqi's brother, but he hadn't intervened.
Only now, with the situation reversed, did he realize that Lin Siming might have had someone helping him from behind.
But wasn't it too late?
He had vaguely suspected that the man had returned, which was why he had sought out Zhang Ning for some information. However, he never imagined that as soon as Zhang Ning left, news would arrive that Ling Feng had killed his way up.
Tang Ru was naturally extremely panicked!
"Slander! What do you mean 'killed his way up'? It was these two elevator operators who spoke disrespectfully and offended my elder brother, so I took action!"
Yang Fei, having clearly heard Zhang Ning's words, quickly exclaimed!
