Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Do You Really Think You Are a Big Shot?
Having pondered for a long while in the car, Yang Fei finally let go of his suspicions towards Li Xuanyu.
Among all the members of the International Madman Organization, he and Li Xuanyu had known each other the longest, and they also had an exceptionally good private relationship.
In the past, he had received guidance from her in medical skills, and on several occasions, it was Li Xuanyu who had saved his life. Towards her, Yang Fei had absolute trust.
So he dialed Li Xuanyu’s number.
"Hello, Yang Fei, have you gotten off the plane yet? Do you want me to send a car to pick you up?" Li Xuanyu’s voice came through.
Yang Fei said he was already in the car and would arrive soon, then added, "I saw Will."
"What?" Li Xuanyu’s voice carried a hint of surprise, "Are you sure, where is he?"
"Han City Airport," Yang Fei replied.
"Did he see you?" Li Xuanyu asked with concern.
Yang Fei laughed, "Sister Xuanyu, you’re too anxious; other than you, they’ve never seen this face of mine."
Li Xuanyu instantly breathed a sigh of relief, "Right, your face is only exposed to me."
Yang Fei was speechless; that phrase sounded a bit odd.
Back when he was making his way in the overseas, Yang Fei had his own plans. He thought about returning home with the identity of an ordinary person to meet his uncle’s family, so he adopted an alias called ’Tang’.
To match the nickname Tang, he had altered his appearance. Although his physique was almost the same, his face looked quite different: an ordinary yellow face that appeared slightly more mature than his current look.
This was why, earlier when Will glanced over, he did not dodge but walked normally towards the taxi.
"Sister Xuanyu, with Will appearing in Han City, be careful," Yang Fei cautioned.
Li Xuanyu responded, "Mhm, I’ll be careful, but even if he knows my real identity, he probably isn’t here for me."
Yang Fei shook his head, "It’s hard to say; he hasn’t shown up for over a year, and now he suddenly appears in Han City. I don’t think it’s a coincidence."
Li Xuanyu fell silent for a while then said, "If he really is here for me, I’ll handle it. Don’t worry; I won’t tell anyone about your affairs. I’m a bit busy here; let’s talk when you get here."
"Okay."
After hanging up, members from his past days in the Madman Organization flooded Yang Fei’s mind.
The last gathering where all members had convened ended up with everyone getting wrapped up like dumplings. If it weren’t for his combat capabilities exceeding the enemy’s expectations and the members’ mutual cooperation, that event could have ended in total annihilation.
This grudge, he had always kept in his heart, waiting to regain more than 80 percent of his strength before starting his investigations to seek revenge.
Unexpectedly, he had now run into a former member.
And this person was the one he was suspicious of.
If it weren’t for an internal member’s betrayal, the international madman gathering could not have been known by external forces. The enemy had deployed so many strong experts, clearly making extensive preparations.
Before this incident, Will had taken him to meet someone, and he had declined that person’s offer.
Remembering these events, Yang Fei’s gaze deepened, a chill flickering incessantly in his eyes.
Half an hour later, the taxi brought Yang Fei to a cemetery.
Outside the gate, numerous luxury cars were parked, as a grand funeral was being held here today.
Just as Yang Fei got out of the car, a message popped up on his phone: "Will and people from the Jin Group have arrived, he recognized me, be careful when you get here."
Yang Fei slightly narrowed his eyes.
Indeed, there are no such coincidences in this world.
On this particular day, Will had appeared in Han City, obviously targeting Li Xuanyu.
Should he kill Will today to find out the reason behind the Madman Organization’s ambush back then?
Yang Fei’s heart surged, and he felt a strong impulse.
After weighing it for a long time, he eventually suppressed the thought.
His strength was still not enough.
Will’s background was mysterious, and his family seemed to be a mysterious aristocratic family from the Western World that had lasted for a thousand years. Despite being under thirty, he possessed extraordinary strength. If Yang Fei hadn’t recovered to eighty percent of his combat power, he had no absolute assurance of detaining him.
Moreover, this man’s familial background was mysterious, and he might always be accompanied by powerful Western Cultivators.
It was better not to startle the snake by hitting the grass.
Now that he was together with Qin Yanyang, his strength would return to its peak in less than a year, so he decided to wait a bit more.
Having suppressed this impulse, Yang Fei felt peaceful and natural.
There were people from the Li Family guarding the main entrance, and no one without an invitation was allowed inside.
Yang Fei already had an invitation sent by Li Xuanyu on his phone and, after showing it to the guards, he was allowed to enter.
Because of a prior text message from Li Xuanyu, Yang Fei planned not to meet her.
After all, he came to pay his respects, and it was enough that Li Xuanyu knew his intentions.
After completing the funeral process with the other attendees, Yang Fei was about to leave when Li Xuanyu approached him.
"Yang Fei, thank you for coming," Li Xuanyu said gratefully, and bowed deeply at ninety degrees to Yang Fei.
Yang Fei found their country’s style of such formal courtesy absurd.
They were so familiar with each other, there was no need for such formal politeness.
"Sister Xuanyu, please accept my condolences," Yang Fei consoled her.
Li Xuanyu’s eyes were red, showing that she was genuinely heartbroken.
As for the other members of the Li Family’s Financial Group, they were just going through the motions; many even felt happy about the death of Li Xuanyu’s mother, treating the funeral as a networking opportunity.
"Your father, he didn’t come?" Yang Fei had just observed that most of the important members of the Li Family’s Financial Group were present, but Li Zaicheng, the husband of the deceased and first in charge of the Li Family’s Financial Group, had not appeared.
Li Xuanyu slowly shook her head, her face showing a hint of worry: "My father is old, and in recent years he has been relying on medication to sustain his life. He couldn’t attend the funeral."
Yang Fei nodded in understanding.
Li Xuanyu’s mother was the fifth nominal wife of Li Zaicheng, and Li Xuanyu was his youngest child. At his advanced age of over ninety, living up to now under the happy life of a tycoon was already impressive.
"Young Mistress, Mr. Yang."
Li Xiaoji saw Yang Fei and, bringing a middle-aged man over, greeted Li Xuanyu and Yang Fei.
Then, he said to the middle-aged man he had brought: "Uncle, this is Mr. Yang."
The middle-aged man immediately displayed a warm smile, extended his hand to Yang Fei, and said, "Hello Mr. Yang, I am Li Zhongni, Xuanyu’s third older brother. I’ve been wanting to have dinner with Mr. Yang in Binhai, but unfortunately, you have been very busy. Now that you are here in Han City, I must extend my hospitality. Let’s have dinner together tonight."
Yang Fei briefly shook his hand and said, "So you are Mr. Li. I’m flying back to Binhai tonight, and I’m sorry I can’t join you for dinner."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoji frowned slightly and couldn’t help saying, "Yang Fei, my uncle is a very busy man, but he found time. You are free yet you don’t have time? Also, my uncle has invited you several times before. How can you still refuse? Do you really think you are some great figure?"
Yang Fei slightly furrowed his brows and glanced at Li Xiaoji.
Li Xiaoji felt a sudden shock, recalling the incident from last time.
But he quickly calmed down, reminding himself that this was Han City, and today was the home ground of the Li Family’s Financial Group. No matter how arrogant this guy was, he surely wouldn’t dare to cause trouble here.
"Li Xiaoji, apologize to Mr. Yang immediately."
Li Xuanyu’s cold voice reached Li Xiaoji’s ears.
