God! ...

Chapter 24 is truly a master strategist.

"Kid, what do you want?"

Shen Jianguo stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Ye Feng.

He never imagined that the fallen Ye family could offer such a valuable betrothal gift.

He ended up losing face in front of many guests after his attempt to steal a chicken failed.

It's easy to imagine that for some time to come, he will become the laughingstock of the various families in Zhonghai.

"Now that Mr. Shen is here, why the rush to leave?"

"Why don't you stay for a drink? After the ceremony, I still have something to ask you."

Ye Feng said with a smile.

He still remembered what Shen Jianguo had said at the beginning: whether he really knew the clues or was just talking nonsense, he would definitely ask him clearly.

Asking in public was obviously inappropriate, so I decided to keep the other person there and ask after the guests had left.

"I'm busy!"

Shen Jianguo snorted coldly and led Shen Bilian out.

Ye Feng's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything to stop him.

Anyway, they can run away but they can't hide. At most, it'll just be a hassle to go to their house.

Just as Shen Jianguo and his companion walked into the courtyard, they encountered a young man who, accompanied by four bodyguards, stormed in aggressively.

"Get away!"

When the bodyguard saw Shen Jianguo blocking the doorway, he pushed him, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Shen Jianguo was furious and was about to yell at him when he heard the young man in the lead speak arrogantly.

"Who is Ye Feng? Show yourself!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled and turned to look.

"Isn't this Liu Qiang, the manager of Heilong Real Estate?"

"Yes, why is he here? Did Ye Feng offend him?"

"He's just a manager, how come he's so arrogant?"

"Shh, don't you know who he is? His uncle is the head of the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce in Zhonghai."

"You know the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce, right? Even the Ye family at its peak had to treat them with respect."

"It's over. The Ye family has fallen on hard times. If Ye Feng really offends him, he's definitely going to be in trouble. He'll be taught a lesson at the engagement ceremony and will never be able to hold his head up again."

"..."

The crowd discussed it amongst themselves, all showing expressions of sympathy.

What do you need?

Ye Feng strode to the living room door, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked handsome and dashing.

"You're Ye Feng?"

Liu Qiang glanced at Ye Feng, who was dressed in a red wedding robe, and said disdainfully, "I heard you've been incredibly arrogant since you were released from prison, even daring to hit one of my men!"

"Your people?"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. He had beaten up quite a few people and even killed several, so he had no idea who Liu Qiang was talking about.

"Young Master Liu, I told you not to come, so why did you still come?"

At this moment, Shen Jiaqi pretended to be surprised and ran from the crowd to Liu Qiang's side.

"Jiaqi, don't be afraid, I'm just here to seek justice for you!"

Liu Qiang comforted him.

"That's not right, today is my sister's engagement ceremony."

"If things get too ugly, our family will lose face too. You'd better go home..."

Shen Jiaqi said, feeling wronged.

She has learned a lot from Liu Yan these past two days, unlike before when she only knew how to throw tantrums.

Seeing her like this, Liu Qiang's anger flared even more.

"Jiaqi, don't worry."

"Today I'm only causing trouble for Ye Feng; it has nothing to do with your family!"

After saying that, he looked at Ye Feng again and said in a deep voice, "Kid, you're lucky today."

"I'm giving Jiaqi face; as long as you kneel down, kowtow, and apologize, I can forgive you this time!"

Those around him looked on with surprise.

Making someone kneel down and apologize at an engagement party is worse than being beaten up.

If Ye Feng kneels down, it won't just be him who loses face; the entire Ye family will be nailed to the pillar of shame!

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng smiled dismissively.

"What if I don't?"

"You dare say no?"

Liu Qiang's face darkened: "If you don't kneel down yourself, I'll break your legs and then make you kneel!"

"Then come on, let me see what you're capable of."

Ye Feng's eyes were full of contempt, as if he were looking at a clown.

He really couldn't understand where these people got the courage to make people kowtow and apologize at the drop of a hat.

Upon hearing his words, Liu Qiang flew into a rage and was about to order his bodyguards to take action.

"Wait, wait!"

Shen Lang ran out of the lobby and said to Liu Qiang with a smile, "Manager Liu, Jiaqi and Ye Feng's matter is our own family affair."

"Why don't you do me the honor of not getting involved and stay for a few more drinks?"

When Shen Jiaqi saw Shen Lang come out to stop her, she immediately became unhappy.

The exorbitant dowry from the Ye family had shocked her, filling her with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

Unexpectedly, the Ye family is willing to go to such lengths for that bitch Shen Luoyi.

Shen Lang's current behavior clearly shows that he is moved by the betrothal gifts.

If this continues, their status in the family will definitely be affected.

Perhaps, he will be overshadowed by Shen Luoyi.

"We must humiliate Ye Feng today! Even if Shen Luoyi received an exorbitant dowry, her fiancé will be ridiculed for life if he kneels and kowtows to someone in public!"

Shen Jiaqi rolled her eyes and pretended to be aggrieved, saying, "Young Master Liu, let's just forget about it."

"He didn't hit me very hard, he just pulled my hair and kicked me a few times, but it doesn't hurt anymore..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiang became even more furious.

"Uncle Shen, I told you this has nothing to do with your family, so please don't interfere."

After saying that, he reached out and pushed Shen Lang away.

Shen Lang felt a sense of helplessness.

Although this is his home, Liu Qiang has the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce behind him.

Even if he doesn't give them face, there's nothing he can do.

Those around who witnessed this scene couldn't help but shake their heads.

Even Shen Lang's attempts to mediate were useless; it seems Ye Feng is destined to suffer a loss today.

"Dad, should you go and talk to him?"

Feng Jingjing asked Feng Zhen in a low voice.

"What am I supposed to do there? Have you forgotten that Ye Feng is a level three alchemist?"

Feng Zhen shook his head.

"But alchemists aren't good at fighting. What if he can't win?"

Feng Jingjing was still worried.

"It's better if we can't win!"

Feng Zhen smiled slightly: "If he gets bullied by Liu Qiang, his engagement ceremony with Shen Luoyi will definitely fall through."

"I'll step in then, maybe you'll still have a chance."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jingjing was taken aback at first, then her face flushed red, and she scoffed, "You're such a cunning old fox!"

"How dare you speak like that?"

Feng Zhen glared at her: "Wasn't I doing this for you?"

"Then... you should act quickly later, so he doesn't get bullied too badly..."

Feng Jingjing said shyly.

Feng Zhen shook his head helplessly, feeling a little jealous.

Girls really are outgoing; they start showing interest even before anything is even started.

She had raised her daughter for over twenty years, but she had never shown him such care as her father!

While everyone was whispering amongst themselves, Liu Qiang glared fiercely at Ye Feng once again.

"Kid, this is your last chance. Are you going to kneel down yourself, or wait until I break your legs?"

Ye Feng glanced at him indifferently: "I'll give you one chance too. Now get out of here, and I'll let bygones be bygones."

This guy is a fool who's being used, and Ye Feng doesn't want to get entangled with him any further.

"Haha, you still dare to act tough at a time like this? I think you don't even know how to spell 'death'!"

Liu Qiang laughed, said no more nonsense, and waved his hand.

"Go! Break his legs!"
