Chapter Sixty-Four: There's an Assassin!
A luxurious villa complex has appeared ahead!
Gao Jianfei looked into the distance and saw a uniform European-style villa, taking an international approach. The natural mountain scenery was beautiful, the lake water was clear, and the villas were planted with dawn redwoods and plane trees, which was quite unique.
"This villa complex is truly enormous and magnificent!" Gao Jianfei, coming from a small city, was secretly astonished upon seeing such a grand architectural complex. Only now did he have a more intuitive understanding of what a real "rich area" truly looked like.
At the entrance to the villa area stood dozens of burly men in black shirts, and five old men lined up neatly in a row. Upon seeing Liu Feng arrive, the five old men hurried over to greet him, their faces beaming with smiles.
Liu Feng had 26 bodyguards. Two guarded Liu Feng himself, while the remaining 24 went directly to the five old men, conducting a full-body search to ensure they were unarmed before releasing them. Immediately afterwards, the bodyguards rushed over and took down the thugs from Dongxing's side one by one!
Liu Feng's people are extremely meticulous in their work!
In other words, once inside the villa, it was basically Liu Feng's men who had guns, while Dongxing's men did not.
Of course, this kind of behavior is really just a routine matter. Firstly, if the people from Dongxing were really up to something, they would always have a chance to get their hands on weapons, for example, after Liu Feng and his bodyguards entered the villa; secondly, the people from Dongxing would absolutely not dare to touch Liu Feng! Let alone directly attack Liu Feng, they would be terrified if even a single hair fell on Liu Feng's territory!
The forces behind Liu Feng are not something Dongxing can contend with!
Five elderly men scurried up to Liu Feng, bowing respectfully. However, their eyes darted outwards, glancing at Gao Jianfei. They all wondered… could this rustic-looking young man be the same one Yao Hui had brought to the Emperor's Building and treated so lavishly? And why does he seem so close to Young Master Feng? Just who is he?
"Second Master, Third Master, Fifth Master, Sixth Master, Eighth Master," Chen Yaohui and his five henchmen addressed him respectfully.
"Yaohui, you arrived on time. You're very good." Second Master looked at Chen Yaohui with an extremely complicated expression, his pupils slightly contracting as he looked conflicted. However, he quickly composed himself and turned to Liu Feng with an almost obsequious smile, "Young Master Feng, please come in."
Liu Feng simply put his arm around Gao Jianfei, not even glancing at the old men, displaying extreme arrogance! Under the protection of his bodyguards, he walked straight towards the villa in front.
The five veterans of Dongxing exchanged glances, then waved to Chen Yaohui and said, "Come on, Yaohui, let's go in."
Chen Yaohui remained silent and nodded expressionlessly.
Chen Yaohui's five henchmen lowered their heads, their eyes flashing with resentment and murderous intent.
Second Master, Third Master, and Eighth Master all had solemn expressions on their faces.
Sixth Master looked gloating.
Fifth Master's gaze unconsciously swept over the entrances and exits near the villa area.
Everyone has their own thoughts!
Gao Jianfei and Liu Feng entered the villa complex together. The interior was not only exquisitely beautiful, but also boasted extremely comprehensive facilities: tennis courts, swimming pools, basketball courts, a golf course… and much more!
In addition, about 100 Dongxing thugs were scattered throughout the villa, holding walkie-talkies and intently monitoring every move around them.
Liu Feng's bodyguards rushed over and beat all the Dongxing thugs inside the villa. Afterwards, they all gave Liu Feng a "K" sign.
Liu Feng smiled and explained to Gao Jianfei, "Sir, after what happened last time, I'm very concerned about my personal safety, so I'm inevitably more cautious in my actions. However, I don't believe that the people from Dongxing would dare to cause trouble. If something happens to me, they won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Gao Jianfei nodded, offering no further comment. In fact, this atmosphere was not to his liking. His purpose in coming today was simply to plead for Chen Yaohui; afterwards, he would leave, uninvolved.
The group entered a large villa in the center of the villa complex.
The living room on the ground floor of the villa was large, but it was completely empty of furniture and appliances. A crystal chandelier illuminated the room brightly and dazzlingly. Against the wall at the front, there was a shrine with a brightly lit candle. Gao Jianfei glanced at it and immediately recognized it as a statue of Guan Yu.
Seeing this, Gao Jianfei couldn't help but chuckle to himself... "Lord Guan? I wonder what level of exorcist I become that would allow me to directly piece together Lord Guan's soul?"
At this moment, the five old men, along with Chen Yaohui and others, entered the villa's living room. Second Master quickly clapped his hands, and immediately his henchmen brought over several wooden chairs and placed them in the center of the living room.
Second Master bowed slightly to Liu Feng, "Young Master Feng, please sit down."
Liu Feng put his arm around Gao Jianfei's shoulder and walked over, choosing two chairs to sit down. His bodyguards stood behind him.
Of everyone in the living room, only Liu Feng and Gao Jianfei were sitting; the rest stood properly.
Five old men, along with Chen Yaohui, approached Liu Feng. The second old man spoke first, "Young Master Feng, your visit to G Province, to our Dongxing territory, has actually been somewhat lacking in hospitality..."
Before he could finish his pleasantries, Liu Feng waved his hand impatiently. "Alright, my time is precious. I didn't come here to listen to your nonsense! Last time, I represented my family to discuss some cooperation matters with your Dongxing people, but... Dongxing has really disappointed me! I was almost killed by an assassin. I've temporarily suppressed this matter and haven't reported it to my family, but I need an explanation! If Dongxing can't handle this, then my family will send people over directly to deal with it!"
After saying this, Liu Feng looked indifferently at the five elders of Dongxing.
"Yes, yes, Young Master Feng, please let us explain." The second master trembled with fear. "Young Master Feng, in fact, we old guys haven't been involved in the gang's affairs for a long time. Most of the gang's business and various trivial matters are handled by Yao Hui. Take the matter of receiving Young Master Feng last time, for example, that was actually handled entirely by Yao Hui. This..." He glanced at Chen Yao Hui, "Yao Hui, come here and explain to Young Master Feng."
After he finished speaking, the five old men looked at Chen Yaohui with eager eyes.
Chen Yaohui's eye muscles twitched a few times, but he still stepped forward.
Gao Jianfei couldn't help but feel contempt for those five old men... These old bastards were just trying to slip away and dump all the trouble on Chen Yaohui!
It seems that the underground forces are not as concerned with loyalty and brotherhood as legend has it.
"Young Master Feng, it was indeed me, Chen Yaohui, who orchestrated our secret meeting last time," Chen Yaohui said coldly. "I didn't expect things to go wrong, but now that it has happened, I, Chen Yaohui, will not shirk responsibility! However, Young Master Feng, I believe that the reason this happened is because... there's a traitor within Dongxing!"
Liu Feng said impatiently, "I don't care about your club's internal affairs. All I want is an explanation, someone who can take responsibility."
Chen Yaohui nodded. "Young Master Feng, I understand. Can you give me three months? Within three months, I will find the traitor and hand him over to Young Master Feng for punishment. If I cannot find the traitor, then I will entrust my life to Young Master Feng!"
After Chen Yaohui finished speaking, the five elders of Dongxing were extremely dissatisfied!
"Damn it, Yaohui, do you think Young Master Feng would give you a chance to find an internal traitor? Aren't you just asking for trouble! You could have sacrificed yourself and committed suicide in front of Young Master Feng, which might have calmed his anger, but now you've created all this trouble... Damn it!" All five old men thought the same thing.
That's true. To put it bluntly, whether Dongxing has an internal traitor or not is none of Liu Feng's business. He came here today simply to kill a few of the Dongxing executives in charge of that secret meeting to vent his anger. Now, Chen Yaohui keeps talking about finding an internal traitor, which, to Liu Feng, is like taking off his pants to fart! Completely unnecessary!
At this moment, Gao Jianfei realized that his time had come.
"Ahem," Gao Jianfei coughed lightly, then whispered, "Xiao Feng, can you give me some face? Chen Yaohui is my friend. Give him three months to find the traitor." After a pause, Gao Jianfei leaned close to Liu Feng's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, I will assist Yaohui and find the traitor quickly, and give you an explanation!"
Gao Jianfei had a way to find the traitor. It was actually quite simple: he could simply piece together the ghost of the assassin who killed Liu Feng that day, collect it in his ghost lair, and question it directly to find out the answer!
Gao Jianfei thought to himself, if Liu Feng agreed to his request, and then he found the traitor in Dongxing for Chen Yaohui, then the favor that Chen Yaohui had done for Chen Xian to settle the debt of more than one million yuan could be wiped clean!
Gao Jianfei doesn't like owing favors to others, especially people like Chen Yaohui.
After hearing Gao Jianfei's words, Liu Feng smiled inwardly... Sure enough, the gentleman was going to plead for Chen Yaohui! Alright, I'll give him face. I believe it's worth it!
You must understand that if Gao Jianfei hadn't spoken up today, Chen Yaohui would have been dead for sure; now that Gao Jianfei is pleading for him, it's as if Chen Yaohui has been pulled back from the edge of a cliff!
The five elders of Dongxing were all in a state of shock! Although Gao Jianfei had spoken softly when pleading for Chen Yaohui, they had all heard him! Moreover, they clearly heard Gao Jianfei address Liu Feng as "Xiao Feng".
Liu Feng's attitude towards Gao Jianfei was so submissive!
This is simply incredible!
"Who exactly is this guy?" The five elders of Dongxing had a series of questions and guesses popping into their minds.
"Fine!" Liu Feng stood up abruptly. "I'll give you face, sir! Chen Yaohui, remember this: your life was saved by you, sir. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer within three months, then... you die!"
Chen Yaohui was deeply moved, his whole body trembling slightly! He had been uncertain, unsure if Liu Feng would give Gao Jianfei face. But now, with Gao Jianfei's words, Liu Feng had indeed shown him respect!
"Thank you so much, Young Master Feng, for giving me this opportunity! Thank you!" Chen Yaohui said, his voice trembling. Then, he couldn't help but look at Gao Jianfei and bow slightly, "Jianfei, thank you."
At this moment, the five elders of Dongxing softened their expressions. They thanked Liu Feng profusely while offering Gao Jianfei very obsequious and ingratiating smiles.
"Hehe, this...this gentleman, from now on, you will be our honored guest of Dongxing!" Second Master said to Gao Jianfei with a smile, "Sir, we, the thousands of brothers of Dongxing, are all deeply grateful for your kindness to us!"
Besides trying to curry favor, the second master also knew perfectly well that Dongxing was not qualified to associate with Young Master Feng. However, befriending that rustic-looking kid next to him would be easy; befriending this kid would be equivalent to climbing up to Young Master Feng!
For a moment, the living room was filled with fawning laughter, laughter directed at both Liu Feng and Gao Jianfei.
"Well, Xiaofeng, it's getting late, I'll head home now. If anything comes up, you can call my cell phone." Gao Jianfei clearly didn't like this environment and atmosphere, so he spoke directly to Liu Feng.
"I'm leaving too, sir. Let's leave together!" Liu Feng smiled, put his arm around Gao Jianfei's shoulder, and walked outside. He didn't bother to say goodbye to the people from Dongxing!
The five elders of Dongxing and Chen Yaohui and others hurriedly saw them off.
Just as Liu Feng and Gao Jianfei walked hand in hand to the front gate of the villa... "Bang!" A gunshot rang out from directly in front of the villa complex.
Immediately afterwards, panicked screams erupted from outside from the Dongxing henchmen… “There’s an assassin! There’s… Ah!”
"Protect Young Master Feng!" Immediately, Liu Feng's bodyguards pulled Liu Feng and Gao Jianfei back to the villa's lobby, and several bodyguards quickly closed the villa door.
"Bang!" A bodyguard was shot in the head and collapsed in a pool of blood before the door closed.
"Quick! Retreat! Retreat from the back!" Liu Feng's bodyguards surrounded Liu Feng and Gao Jianfei, and collectively retreated towards the back door of the villa.
The five elders of Dongxing, along with Chen Yaohui and others, reacted swiftly, protecting Liu Feng and retreating to the back.
Gao Jianfei was shocked... Damn it, he had encountered infighting, conspiracy, and vendetta between underground forces!
Chapter Sixty-Five: This is the Jianghu!
Chapter Sixty-Five: This is the Jianghu!
Outside the villa, screams of agony echoed continuously, like the desperate cries of wild beasts on the verge of death...
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A barrage of gunfire rang out continuously.
The people inside the villa were enveloped in a suffocating cold and chaos, and they all retreated towards the back door of the villa.
Gao Jianfei inwardly groaned... It seemed that the Dongxing headquarters was heavily guarded, with hundreds of thugs outside, but the key problem was that, in order to coordinate with Liu Feng's visit, the Dongxing people were not carrying any weapons at all! Not to mention guns, they didn't even have a single dagger!
It is conceivable that the killings outside are likely one-sided!
"Protect Young Master Feng!" Liu Feng's bodyguards surrounded Liu Feng and Gao Jianfei tightly, slowly retreating.
"Well done! You Dongxing people are really something!" Liu Feng remained calm and didn't panic. He just stared at the five elders of Dongxing with a cold gaze!
The five elders of Dongxing turned ashen-faced with fright!
This attack was something they had never expected. And the word "traitor" slithered into their very being like a venomous snake, sending chills down their spines!
Tonight's meeting with Liu Feng is a closely guarded secret of the Dongxing Gang. Even Dongxing's henchmen only know that the gang will be meeting with an important figure; they have no idea who this important figure is! More importantly, several entrances to this villa area are guarded by Dongxing men. Now, the enemy has easily breached the defenses and directly entered the villa area. Undoubtedly, there is a traitor among Dongxing's high-ranking members—the Five Elders and Chen Yaohui—among the six of them! If the attack on Liu Feng at Yuehua Park last time wasn't enough to highlight the terrifying nature of a traitor, then this time…
Deadly, absolutely deadly!
At this moment, Gao Jianfei suddenly realized that although his hand-to-hand combat skills were quite good, they were completely useless in this kind of firearms-based combat! He reached into his pants pocket with his left hand, where there was a pistol that he had previously "snatched" from Liu Feng's bodyguard, while his right hand was pressed against his waist, where there was a throwing knife.
Gao Jianfei's true life-saving weapon: throwing knives!
"Retreat!" Gao Jianfei followed Liu Feng and slowly retreated.
At that moment, Chen Yaohui suddenly roared, "Young Master Feng, please don't worry. Tonight, Chen Yaohui will protect Young Master Feng to the death and get him out of danger!"
Suddenly, Chen Yaohui rushed to the deity in the corner, lifted the red silk cloth covering the deity, and pulled out a wooden box from underneath!
A wooden box the size of a suitcase!
Chen Yaohui quickly opened the wooden crate and took out a series of black Type 54 pistols and magazines filled with bullets!
"Xiao Lu! Xiao Hai! Catch the guns!" Chen Yaohui quickly threw several pistols to the five trusted men who had come with him.
"Huh?" The five elders of Dongxing were all astonished!
It should be noted that no weapons were hidden within the villa area in preparation for welcoming Liu Feng! However, Chen Yaohui actually dragged a box of pistols directly from under the altar where the statue of Guan Yu was enshrined!
"What does Yaohui mean by this? And the fact that he hid the guns has even kept it from us old folks!" Second Master's heart was filled with turmoil!
