Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Do you think 10 million can solve it?
Zhu Qinglong frowned and said to Zhu Zirui, “Go quickly and see what’s happening outside?”
“Yes, I’ll check.” Zhu Zirui said, standing up from the sofa, heading toward the villa’s main door.
However, just as Zhu Zirui stepped out the door, the sounds of fists and feet clashing erupted, followed by Zhu Zirui’s cries of pain.
Zhu Qinglong immediately stood up from the sofa, his gaze suddenly sharp, staring intently at the villa’s entrance.
For the first time, this crime lord had a strong sense of foreboding.
Bang, bang, bang.
At that moment, four or five figures suddenly flew in through the door.
Amidst the screams, Zhu Zirui, Ye Cheng, and several bodyguards were smashed onto the living room floor, none of them able to stand.
Zhu Qinglong’s eyes widened with shock, his face full of horror.
He saw Ye Cheng’s face filled with pain, as if severely injured.
His heart trembled: Wasn’t Ye Cheng leading gunmen to deal with Lin Fei and Leng Ying?
Why did he come back alone?
And why was Ye Cheng seriously injured?
Zhu Qinglong immediately thought of a possibility: Ye Cheng’s mission had failed.
Lu Yichen was equally surprised, watching as Ye Cheng, Zhu Zirui, and others were forced into the living room from outside. He had a bad feeling.
Wasn’t Ye Cheng supposed to assassinate Lin Fei and Leng Ying?
How could he be beaten back here?
If he wasn’t mistaken, the one who beat Ye Cheng, Zhu Zirui, and others back had to be Lin Fei and Leng Ying.
Footsteps could be heard coming from the villa entrance at this moment.
Zhu Qinglong immediately turned his gaze to the door, and when he saw who was walking in, his face changed dramatically!
Because the ones entering were exactly who he least wanted to see: Lin Fei and Leng Ying.
“Zhu Qinglong, we meet again.” Lin Fei smiled, looking at Zhu Qinglong.
Seeing Lin Fei appear, Zhu Qinglong knew Ye Cheng’s mission had failed.
He never expected his best fighter Ye Cheng, leading dozens of gunmen to assassinate Lin Fei and Leng Ying, would end in failure.
And only a gravely injured Ye Cheng had returned.
Zhu Qinglong was somewhat panicked; he really couldn’t fathom Lin Fei’s strength.
“So it’s Young Master Lin. It’s truly an honor for you to visit my villa so late. Please, have a seat!” Zhu Qinglong, being the seasoned player he was, quickly regained his composure after the panic, smilingly pointed to the sofa.
As if welcoming an old friend.
Lin Fei said to Leng Ying, “Since they are so welcoming, let’s sit down!”
Then, Lin Fei and Leng Ying walked to the sofa and sat.
Lu Yichen watched as Lin Fei and Leng Ying settled on the sofa, feeling as if he were sitting on pins and needles.
He initially came to watch Zhu Qinglong exact revenge, waiting for Ye Cheng to kill Lin Fei and then celebrate.
But he never expected that instead of news of Lin Fei’s death, Lin Fei and Leng Ying had come knocking.
Now he wanted to leave, but didn’t dare, only able to sit on the sofa with clenched teeth.
He could only hope that Lin Fei and Leng Ying would only trouble Zhu Qinglong and not him.
Lin Fei naturally noticed Lu Yichen, secretly thinking: It seems this Lu Yichen never stops plotting against me; from Dragon Club to Jade Dew Hotel to Zhu Qinglong’s villa, he’s everywhere.
Looks like after settling with Zhu Qinglong, I’ll also give Lu Yichen a lesson he’ll remember.
When Lu Yichen saw Lin Fei looking his way, he immediately tensed, feeling like disaster was imminent.
But at this moment, Lin Fei’s gaze shifted to the briefcases on the table, letting Lu Yichen breathe a sigh of relief, secretly thinking: Luckily, he’s distracted by the money in the briefcase.
Otherwise, if he asked why I’m at Zhu Qinglong’s, I truly wouldn’t know how to explain that I’m not involved with Zhu Qinglong.
Lin Fei looked at the table filled with briefcases stuffed with stacks of cash, smiling slightly at Zhu Qinglong, “Boss Zhu, with so much money here, could it be for a hired killing?”
Zhu Qinglong hastily said, “Young Master Lin, you jest. I’m a law-abiding citizen; how could I hire a killer?”
Lin Fei nodded, pointing to the pained Ye Cheng on the ground, “Isn’t this your number one God of Slaughter?”
Zhu Qinglong looked guilty, saying, “What number one God of Slaughter? He’s just a bodyguard under my command who enjoys violence and fighting. I’ve warned him many times to change his ways, but he hasn’t listened.”
At this point, Zhu Qinglong suddenly bowed respectfully to Lin Fei, “Young Master Lin, I’m sorry!”
Lin Fei showed an amused expression, “Boss Zhu, what’s this about?”
Zhu Qinglong raised his head, introspective, “At Jade Dew Hotel today, I had a misunderstanding with Young Master Lin. Upon hearing that Young Master Lin accidentally hurt my finger, Ye Cheng, without telling me, took men to retaliate against you.
After learning this from my bodyguards, I intended to bring these five boxes of cash, ten million total, to apologize at your door and have Ye Cheng apprehended.”
Here, Zhu Qinglong appeared grateful, “Who knew Young Master Lin had already taught this rude fellow a lesson? Please accept this money as my apology.”
Zhu Qinglong wanted to appease Lin Fei because Ye Cheng’s assassination failure had shown him Lin Fei’s formidable strength.
Ye Cheng was his top fighter, both of them were at the third level of grandmaster, but Ye Cheng’s youth and vigor made him even stronger in combat.
Yet, even stronger Ye Cheng was defeated by Lin Fei.
Zhu Qinglong knew that fighting Lin Fei himself would not benefit him.
So, he now wanted to resolve the conflict with Lin Fei to get through this crisis, even if it meant sacrificing his most valued subordinate, Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng, lying on the ground, looked even more dejected after hearing Zhu Qinglong’s words, like a beaten dog.
“Boss, you…” Ye Cheng couldn’t believe, looking at Zhu Qinglong.
He had risked his life countless times for Zhu Qinglong but never thought his failure this time would lead to such betrayal.
Zhu Qinglong had sold him out, like tossing away a used tool.
This made Ye Cheng realize he was just a pawn in Zhu Qinglong’s hands, disposable once useless.
Hearing Ye Cheng speak, Zhu Qinglong’s face slightly changed, fearing he would reveal that it was he who ordered Ye Cheng to assassinate Lin Fei.
Thus, Zhu Qinglong stepped forward and kicked Ye Cheng in the face.
Ye Cheng screamed, teeth and blood flying from his mouth.
“Dare to retaliate against Young Master Lin, I’ll kick you to death!” Zhu Qinglong kicked Ye Cheng several times until he passed out before stopping.
Then, Zhu Qinglong looked at Lin Fei and said, “Young Master Lin, rest assured! I will severely punish Ye Cheng, and he will not trouble you again.” “Zhu Qinglong, since this money is for your apology, we’ll accept it. But sending Ye Cheng and dozens of gunmen to assassinate us, do you think this million can resolve that?” Lin Fei’s burning eyes fixed on Zhu Qinglong’s face.
Like knives or blades!
Zhu Qinglong’s heart sank, nearly causing his legs to give way.
