Chapter 167: Giving a Taste of Their Own Medicine!

Chen Ze was different now; there was now an aura of authority about him.

This was only to be expected. Not a single trace of the factory worker remained on Chen Ze. Over the past few months, it was not just Chen Feng who had undergone a metamorphosis; earth-shattering changes had also occurred in Chen Ze. One had to realize that the people Chen Ze dined with nowadays were figures of status and influence. Furthermore, Chen Feng had extracted the serum of a super soldier and injected it into his father, making him much younger. If father and son were to stand side by side now, probably no one would ever take them for father and son; rather, they looked more like brothers.

"Dad!" Chen Feng turned around, looked at his father with a smile, and asked, "Why did you come over?"

Chen Ze, however, laughed heartily and said, "You brought my daughter-in-law and her mother over, how could I possibly not come and take a look?"

At this, Chen Ze's gaze abruptly shifted onto Fang Yi, and a cold voice issued from his mouth: "What did you just say? Repeat that to me."

Pierced by Chen Ze's gaze, Fang Yi instantly felt a chill run through his heart. How dare he utter another word of nonsense? At that moment, he suddenly realized that Chen Ze and his son were not people to be easily trifled with, and a thin film of cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Who on earth are you?"

"My name is Chen Ze, and I am the owner of this Maple Leaf Hotel!" Chen Ze looked at Fang Yi and spoke indifferently, "You said you were going to finish off my son?"

"I didn't—" Fang Yi was just about to speak when Chen Ze waved his hand and commanded coldly, "Throw him out!"

The moment Chen Ze's words fell, a group of people immediately surged into the room. Fang Yi's expression couldn't help changing slightly as he stared at Chen Ze and said, "You—what are you people trying to do?"

His voice had barely faded when one of the security guards rushed forward and delivered a vicious, heavy slap across Fang Yi's face. With a sharp crack, one side of Fang Yi's face instantly swelled up high.

"You fucking dare hit me?!" Fang Yi was instantly enraged. When had he ever been subjected to such treatment? The number of leaders in Donghai who tried to build connections with him was by no means small. Although he was merely a cook, others had always treated him with the utmost courtesy. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

However, no sooner had his voice fallen than he received another heavy slap across the face. This sudden second blow made Fang Yi understand that this was not Donghai. This was Jiangzhou, and this was someone else's territory.

Without waiting for Fang Yi to waste any more breath, the group of bodyguards, fierce as wolves and tigers, grabbed Fang Yi and his son and dragged them out bodily.

This scene utterly stunned Fang Yue and her mother. Meanwhile, Chen Ze cordially greeted Fang Yue's mother, saying, "In-law, come, sit down, let's have a proper chat!"

Watching his father and Fang Yue's mother sitting together, Chen Feng couldn't help shaking his head slightly, then summoned a security guard over.

"Master Feng!" The security guard greeted Chen Feng with utmost respect.

Nowadays, Chen Feng could be considered part of the privileged second generation. He didn't feel much about this title. Letting his gaze sweep over the security guard, he spoke indifferently, "Follow them and see what on earth they are up to!"

"Understood!" the security guard replied swiftly.

The banquet, which originally should have belonged to Fang Yue's mother and Fang Yi, had instead turned into one for Chen Ze's family and Fang Yue's mother. Naturally, Chen Ze took a profound liking to a girl like Fang Yue.

As the saying goes, adversity reveals true character.

When Chen Feng was down on his luck, Fang Yue had remained steadfastly by his side through thick and thin. This rare and precious quality successfully won over the hearts of Chen Ze and his wife, and they naturally grew to cherish Fang Yue immensely.

Binhai Hotel!

"Ouch!"

Fang Tong grimaced and winced, clutching the injuries on his face. The pain distorted his features; those security guards had certainly not shown them the slightest mercy, and after a round of brutal beatings, father and son were truly battered quite severely.

By comparison, Fang Tong was relatively better off, but Fang Yi had practically been beaten half to death. Given his advanced age, having endured such a violent thrashing, the fact that he wasn't currently bedridden in a hospital was nothing short of a miracle.

"Damn it, damn it, that bastard Chen Feng is simply unforgivable! He actually dared to let people beat us!" Fang Tong grimaced in pain, a ferocious expression twisting his face. "Dad, what do we do now? We originally wanted to coerce Fang Yue and her mother into agreeing to our demands, but who would have thought that bastard Chen Feng would be so formidable?"

Fang Yi wore an equally gloomy expression. He too had never expected Chen Feng to wield such influence—at least within the enclosed territory of Jiangzhou, Chen Feng held considerable clout.

Drawing a deep breath, Fang Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Then we'll kill that mother and daughter. Once that's done, the shares will still fall into our hands!"

"What?" Fang Tong couldn't help starting slightly, looking at Fang Yi in astonishment. "Dad, you're not joking, are you? You really want to kill them?"

Fang Yi said coldly, "What, didn't you know? I was the one who engineered Fang Yue's father's accident back then. Otherwise, do you think that car crash was just a coincidence? I had it all calculated long ago: the moment Fang Yue's father died, the Pearl Hotel would become our family's property. I won't hide it from you—back then, Fang Yue's father was still salvageable. It was I who coaxed him into writing that will, and then I bribed the doctor to tamper with things during his surgery!"

Fang Tong swallowed hard, never imagining that his own father could be such a cruel and ruthless person. So there had been such a dark secret behind the past events.

"Then how are we going to finish them off?" Fang Tong was also a ruthless character at heart, and at this point, he cast all hesitation aside.

"Simple!" Fang Yi gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Stage a car crash. A single car crash will be enough to claim their lives. That's how his father died back then, and now—heh heh!"

Before Fang Yi could finish speaking, a series of beeping sounds suddenly echoed from the door of the hotel room. Father and son froze simultaneously. Before they could react, two or three dozen men dressed in black walked straight into the suite.

"Who are you people?" Fang Yi and his son stood up together, terror flashing across both their faces. As they recovered their wits, they saw a slender-figured man appear right before them.

"Who are we?" A familiar voice echoed in the ears of the father and son. Then, Chen Feng was seen walking step by step into their view. Fang Yi's pupils suddenly contracted violently: "It's you! What are you going to do?!"

"Master Feng, these two have been secured and are at your disposal!" The slender man addressed Chen Feng with utmost respect.

"Brother Dahui, you're too polite!" Chen Feng smiled slightly at the man. This Brother Dahui was one of Lu Rui's men and commanded the largest underground syndicate in Jiangzhou. Naturally aware of the connection between Chen Feng and the Lu family, Brother Dahui treated Chen Feng with profound deference.

Chen Feng's gaze returned to Fang Yi and his son as he spoke leisurely, "Fang Yi, well, we haven't seen each other for three hours. Seeing me again now, what are your thoughts?"

"You—what on earth are you trying to do?" Fang Yi swallowed a mouthful of fearful saliva and asked in a trembling voice.

"Nothing much. Over the past three hours, I had a lawyer draw up a contract. I just need to trouble you to sign your name on it!" As he spoke, Chen Feng produced a sheet of white paper, handed it directly in front of the father and son, and said casually, "It's a share transfer agreement. As long as you sign it, we're done!"

"You!" At the sight of the share transfer agreement, Fang Yi's complexion shifted dramatically. He shouted loudly, "What kind of joke are you playing? How could I possibly sign this?"

"You won't sign?" Chen Feng chuckled, his voice calm and unhurried. "Do you think you'll be able to leave this place alive if you don't?"

"You..."

Fang Yi's pupils constricted slightly. Chen Feng, however, said casually, "Brother Dahui, I'll leave this matter in your hands. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"Rest assured!" A ferocious grin spread across Brother Dahui's face. "I'm quite accustomed to handling this sort of thing."

Chen Feng turned back to look at Fang Yi and spoke calmly, "Make your own choice. Don't worry, I have a million ways to make you sign obediently!"

Brother Dahui sneered, looked at the lackeys beside him, and commanded coldly, "Take them away immediately!"

"You—what are you doing?" Fang Yi roared in furious outrage. "I'm telling you, this is illegal and criminal!"

Chen Feng merely shook his head, watching coldly as the father and son were knocked unconscious and dragged away. He harbored not the slightest doubt regarding Brother Dahui's methods, nor had he ever regarded the Fang family father and son as anything worthy of notice. Compared to the Ye family—whom he could not yet afford to provoke—the Fang father and son were nothing more than stray cats and dogs.

Standing nearby, Brother Dahui looked respectfully at Chen Feng and asked, "Master Feng, what do you plan to do with these two fellows next?"

"What to do with them?" Chen Feng tilted his head, looked at Brother Dahui, and answered indifferently, "Just find a random car and run them over to finish them off."

Initially, Chen Feng had intended to leave a path of survival for this pair of father and son. However, he had overheard their conversation outside the door just moments earlier. His hearing was exceptionally acute; regardless of how well-insulated the room was, he could pick up the faintest sounds.

Chen Feng was well aware of the despicable deeds Fang Yi had committed back then. Now that he knew, he no longer had any reason to spare them. Since they had used a car to eliminate Fang Yue's father, then let them perish in a car crash as well.

An eye for an eye, using their own methods against them!

(The first chapter is up. The writing has been a bit rushed lately; these past few days I've been organizing the outline and starting to conceive the new plot—namely, the Donghai arc. The Ye family, Mr. Wang, the masterminds behind the scenes, and the Yanhuang Law Enforcement Team—all the necessary foreshadowing has been laid. The first volume can be considered concluded, and a new storyline is about to begin. Please stay tuned! Finally, requesting some monthly votes!) (To be continued...)
