However, when Song Ying saw Zheng Cuiyun and the other women after they had been disguised, she became even more puzzled... These women were so beautiful, how did Jianfei know them?
While Zheng Cuiyun and Nie Xiaoxia ate dumplings, they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Song Ying!
Gao Jianfei didn't think much of it and ate heartily. After finishing, the Emei Sect women washed the dishes, and Gao Jianfei went to the courtyard to smoke. After smoking a cigarette, Gao Jianfei took out his phone and started looking through his contacts.
He needs to find someone's phone number.
Liu Feng.
Back in G province, there was Liu Feng, the man who had saved his life twice!
It's said that Liu Feng's family wields considerable influence in Beijing. But putting aside the matter of offending Young Master Zhou, he also needs to cultivate some connections to help his girlfriend become the lead host for the competition two months from now.
Of course, if Gao Jianfei were to step forward and hold a press conference under his real identity, forcefully demanding that the organizers list Song Ying as the primary host, that would also be a viable option. However, Gao Jianfei has no intention of revealing his true identity. He's only in Beijing for a few days in secret before returning to his hometown to seek medical treatment for his mother. Once his true identity is revealed, he'll likely face a constant stream of social engagements and drinking parties, which is something Gao Jianfei doesn't want to deal with.
The call connected...
"Heh, Young Master Feng, can you recognize my voice? It's been a long time since we last contacted each other. I guess you've forgotten about me too," Gao Jianfei said with a chuckle into the phone.
"Ah? It's you, sir!" Liu Feng's long-unheard voice rang out from the other end of the phone! His voice sounded somewhat surprised and delighted. "Sir, you've saved my life several times. I've always kept your phone number! However, considering you're a reclusive master, I've never called to bother you. But, through some private conversations with Chen Yaohui, I know you're doing very well these days. A world-renowned doctor, a world-class gambling king, and, in two months, the World Genius Challenge… I must say, you're definitely the most prominent person internationally this year! Without a doubt!"
"Haha, you're joking. I'm just trying to make a living." Gao Jianfei shook his head and chuckled.
"Excuse me, where is Mr. Xian?" Liu Feng asked solicitously. Moreover, he knew that Gao Jianfei was the type of person who would never call him unless there was a reason. Therefore, Liu Feng tactfully inquired, "If you need my help, sir, I will absolutely do my utmost! I will never refuse anything within my power! Please do not doubt my sincerity!"
Gao Jianfei was quite satisfied with Liu Feng's attitude. "Well, I'm currently in Beijing. And, you guessed right, I did call because I need your help with something. However, whether you can help me or not will depend on what I say."
"Hiss!" Liu Feng gasped on the other end of the phone. "Sir, you...you're currently in Beijing? Ah! That's wonderful! Where are you, sir? I'll drive over to see you right away! And, let me boast a little, sir, I can handle 90% of the matters in Beijing for you."
“Well…” Gao Jianfei thought for a moment, “You don’t need to come over tonight. My girlfriend and I are together today and want to enjoy some alone time. I’ll ask you out another day.”
"Yes, sir!" Liu Feng dared not raise the slightest objection. Then, he asked, "Sir, what is it that you need me to run errands for you? Please tell me."
"Yes. It's like this, Young Master Feng, listen carefully." Gao Jianfei sorted out his thoughts, "This afternoon, I just arrived in the capital and offended a guy who seems to be doing quite well here. I think his name is 'Young Master Zhou.' He's around thirty years old and has a sanctimonious appearance. Of course, I can let this kind of person go; if he dares to cause me trouble, I don't mind eliminating him. However, this is the capital, under the emperor's nose, and I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble. So, Young Master Feng, I'd like to ask, how does your family's power compare to that 'Young Master Zhou's' family? If that Young Master Zhou comes to retaliate against me, and I teach him a lesson, can your family handle it for me?"
"Young Master Zhou? In his thirties?" Liu Feng paused for a few seconds on the other end of the phone. "I know, it's Young Master Zhou Bingren from the Zhou family. He's a show-off, a pretentious type. My grandfather said he's unlikely to amount to anything! He's currently quite favored by the Zhou family. Uh... sir, let me put it this way, as long as you don't kill him, you can do whatever you want with him. If anything happens, our Liu family will step in. As for the power balance between the Liu and Zhou families, hehe, sir, you don't need to worry about that. As long as no one dies, even if you cripple that Zhou guy, our Liu family can handle it properly and won't leave you with any lingering problems."
"Oh...I see? Hmm, then I'm relieved. As long as they don't kill him, it's fine? Good, very good, I'm at ease now." Gao Jianfei said with a smile.
On the other end of the phone, Liu Feng was indeed praying for Zhou Shao... Zhou, I hope you don't cause trouble for this gentleman, otherwise, the consequences will be severe! If he really cripples you, you'll have nowhere to seek justice!
“There’s a second thing,” Gao Jianfei said with a smile.
"Yes, sir, please speak. I'm listening," Liu Feng said respectfully.
“My girlfriend is a host at the Capital Television Station. She’s very capable. In two months, the genius challenge competition between me and Feng Haoyu needs a lead host, and I believe my girlfriend is the perfect choice!” Gao Jianfei said decisively. “However, I know that many people are scrambling for this position, and many beautiful female hosts have been slept with by powerful and wealthy individuals. The culture of unspoken rules is rampant. But in terms of ability, they really can’t compare to my girlfriend. Therefore…”
"Uh? This matter? Yes, sir, this is the hottest topic in the capital right now." Liu Feng smiled. "Since it's your competition, it will naturally be hosted by your girlfriend. This... no problem! I will use my family's influence to get your girlfriend in the position. May I ask, what is your girlfriend's name?"
“Song Ying,” Gao Jianfei said calmly.
"Huh?!" Liu Feng exclaimed in shock on the phone. "I never expected this! I really never expected it. It turns out to be... it turns out to be the beautiful anchorwoman, Miss Song Ying... Heh, sir, what a perfect match! No problem! I know what to do. Also, I will issue some warnings to those powerful people who want to sleep with Miss Song Ying."
"Yes, Young Master Feng is indeed mature and experienced in handling matters." Gao Jianfei felt completely at ease. "Alright, I'll thank you for this in advance, Young Master Feng. I believe I will have the opportunity to repay you in the future."
"Please don't take offense, sir!" Liu Feng quickly said. "This little thing is not enough to repay your kindness in saving my life so many times. Please don't talk about repayment or anything like that. It would be too much for me."
Afterwards, Gao Jianfei told Liu Feng the location of his courtyard house and asked him to come and visit him in a couple of days.
After hanging up the phone, Song Ying, who had helped wash the dishes, skipped out of the house while munching on an apple. She then took Gao Jianfei's arm, displaying the quintessential image of a happy, content woman.
"By the way, Xiaoying, I've already taken care of the hosting duties for you. You can start preparing now," Gao Jianfei said casually. It was a small matter anyway, and since he'd gotten it done, there was no need to brag about it to his girlfriend.
"Hmm, you're quite capable, Jianfei!" Song Ying held the apple she had already eaten a few bites of to Gao Jianfei's mouth. "Good boy, here's an apple for you as a reward."
Gao Jianfei chuckled, took a bite of his apple, and then muttered, "By the way, Xiaoying, what did you promise me on the phone this afternoon? Hehe, five times tonight, not a single one less!"
As he spoke, Gao Jianfei put his arm around Song Ying and secretly reached out to touch her ample breasts. Song Ying was extremely embarrassed. "Hey, Jianfei, is there any need to be so lecherous? What time is it?" After a pause, she whispered, "Don't worry, I can't run away! I'll definitely fulfill my promise to you. You bad guy!"
…… …… ……
The capital city. A large, antique-style courtyard house.
This courtyard house is guarded by armed soldiers, creating a solemn atmosphere.
In a room of a courtyard house, a sprightly old man with an imposing air about him sat ramrod straight, intently studying a chess endgame. Several sets of military uniforms also hung on the walls of the room.
Outside, several guards stood watch with guns.
At this moment, Liu Feng walked into the house from outside, holding a cell phone, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, come on, let's continue playing chess!"
The old man was Liu Feng's grandfather, a figure in the Z country's military, known for his iron fist!
"Xiao Feng, who were you talking to on the phone just now? You seemed so secretive. What, taking the call outside, afraid your grandpa would hear? Was it some female celebrity calling you again?" The old man's face hardened as he spoke. "Xiao Feng, I'm warning you, you must be careful about your private life!"
Liu Feng stuck out his tongue. "Grandpa, look at what you're saying." After a pause, Liu Feng's eyes darted around. "Grandpa, a very important person just called me. He said he offended Zhou Bingren of the Zhou family and might even give Zhou Bingren a good beating!"
Chapter 373 I'll Slap You!
Chapter 373 I'll Slap You!
The old man's expression didn't change at all when he heard Liu Feng's words. He simply said, "Xiao Feng, please continue."
It's important to understand that the Liu family is a powerful clan in the capital. The change of generations within the family is crucial to its rise and fall. Currently, among the third generation of the Liu family, Liu Feng is highly regarded by the patriarch.
Liu Feng is a meticulous, mature, and prudent man who acts with great discretion.
Now, Liu Feng has revealed to his face that one of his "important figures" has offended the Zhou family, assaulted the Zhou family's young master, and may continue to assault him!
These words were tantamount to making his stance clear... In Liu Feng's heart, there was no "important person" in the Zhou family who was closer to him!
After a pause, the old man added, "Xiao Feng, you understand that in the future, the Liu family will depend on you. Therefore, from now on, you should intentionally make connections with some powerful figures, cultivate relationships with others, and build alliances. Grandpa fully supports this. However, sometimes gaining an ally may mean losing one. Originally, although the relationship between our Liu family and the Zhou family wasn't perfect, it was manageable. The Zhou family is a long-established family in Beijing. From what you've said, you seem to be willing to give up some of the connections you've built with the Zhou family over the years. Grandpa only asks you, is it worth it?"
Liu Feng smiled faintly, "Grandpa, I think it's worth it!"
"Hmm?" The old man smiled at Liu Feng, waiting for Liu Feng to explain.
"Grandpa, you don't know who this important person I'm referring to is. If you did, you would definitely approve of my actions." Liu Feng's eyes gleamed with a strange light. "Grandpa, do you remember the mysterious person I told you about? Back then, I went to G Province on business and was almost ambushed by assassins. Then, a young, somewhat rustic-looking mysterious figure appeared and used a throwing knife to shoot and kill the assassin, saving my life! Grandpa, you should know that assassin is quite famous in the Asian assassin world. That mysterious figure actually used a throwing knife to accurately shoot and kill the assassin before he could fire. Such a method of killing is something I've never heard of in my life!"
The old man gently shook his head. "This is not enough to offend the Zhou family for his sake. No matter how strong a person is individually, their influence is extremely limited."
Liu Feng did not show any sign of dejection. He still spoke confidently, "Grandpa, if this mysterious figure is only strong in individual combat, he is at most a top assassin, which is not worth paying a huge price to befriend. However, he is young and promising, and in a short period of time, he has become a very famous painter in our country."
The old man shook his head again, "Artists, let's not talk about them."
Liu Feng continued laughing, "But later, this mysterious figure suddenly rose to prominence in the medical field, becoming an internationally renowned doctor. When he was in D City, he cured Thomson, an official at the American embassy, causing a sensation and widespread admiration in the United States; when he went to Japan, he cured the terminal illnesses of the Yamaguchi-gumi leader and Sheikh Mohammed of the UAE! He was also personally awarded the Medal of Honor by the President of the United States, His Excellency Obama!"
"Hmm?" The old man finally stopped shaking his head; a glint of light flashed in his eyes. "A skilled doctor is equivalent to a chance to live! That's right!"
Liu Feng continued, "Grandpa, not only that, but just a few days ago, he directly defeated Chen Yifeng, the world's number one gambling god, and became the current champion of the gambling world! I personally estimate that his assets have reached hundreds of billions of US dollars, making him one of the top 10 private billionaires in the world today! In addition, such a gambling god must be backed by a large number of state-owned casinos!"
"Haha, Xiao Feng, alright, go ahead and befriend this kind of person! In other words, from the first half of this year when you first met this mysterious figure, to now, it's only been half a year, and he's already become a world-renowned painter, doctor, gambling king... Hmm, interesting, very interesting. Is this what they call a genius? And his current international status is worth our Liu family befriending. As for his relationship with the Zhou family's young master..."
"Grandpa, I've already promised that gentleman that as long as he doesn't kill Zhou Bingren, he can do whatever he wants with her. If anything happens, my Liu family will take care of it," Liu Feng said with a smile.
The old man rubbed his temples and said, "Zhou Bingren is a bit impetuous and flashy, not capable of great things. It's good for him to suffer some setbacks."
cafes!
Zhou Shao remained seated in the private room.
“Young Master Zhou, we’ve investigated thoroughly. That courtyard house definitely doesn’t belong to the Liu or Kong families! Moreover, we’ve found out through our channels that the courtyard house was bought a few years ago by a Chinese businessman, Boss Chen. Heh, speaking of which, this Boss Chen is just a wealthy businessman with Canadian citizenship.” Wang Hu, one of Young Master Zhou’s henchmen, now looked completely relaxed.
That's true. Back then, Chen Yifeng bought three courtyard houses in Beijing at a high price, and also pulled some strings. At the time, he registered his account not as the God of Gamblers, but as a wealthy Chinese-Canadian businessman.
Now that Chen Yifeng's assets have recently been transferred to Gao Jianfei, some property records still show that these properties belong to Chen Yifeng.
"Then there's no problem!" Zhou Shao stood up immediately. "Damn, I thought it was some big shot, but it turns out, he's just a foreign tycoon? Let's go! Over there right now!"
A group of thugs, their faces greasy, surrounded Zhou Shao and headed straight out of the coffee shop.
These thugs were all grinning maliciously... Damn it! A businessman, damn it, dares to offend our Young Master Zhou? These guys have gone mad in their business dealings, thinking that as long as they have money, they have nothing to fear. They don't know that on some levels, money is practically worthless! Money is nothing!
A Rolls-Royce Phantom drove in front, followed by a fleet of Porsches, Ferraris, and similar vehicles.
Gao Jianfei, Song Ying, and seven beauties from the Emei Sect took out chairs, sat in the courtyard chatting, watching the moon, and eating fruit, enjoying themselves immensely!
Gao Jianfei opened the virtual display screen and scanned it. The lost exorcism points had been restored to 18,000. He only needed 2,000 more exorcism points to be able to perform an exorcism on a ghost with strong medical skills (level 4).
However, tonight... Gao Jianfei looked at Song Ying, who was nestled beside him like a little bird, and thought to himself, tonight, I'm definitely going to have a good time with Song Ying a few times!
"Jianfei, will you stay in the capital for two months to participate in that genius challenge competition before leaving?" Song Ying asked gently.
"No, not really," Gao Jianfei replied truthfully. "I'm only staying for a few days. After the TV station announces your appointment as the number one host, I'll leave Beijing. I need to go home to get my mother medical treatment." He paused, then added, "However, Xiaoying, you can continue living in this courtyard house. Don't mind the loneliness; these seven beautiful women will keep you company. As for the car, I'll go with you to buy one another day. I don't have much money, so don't buy anything too expensive; something in the millions will do."
"Heh," Song Ying grinned, revealing her teeth, "Living in your house, driving your car, hee hee, is this what it feels like to be kept?"
"Would you like to be kept by me?" Gao Jianfei joked.
Song Ying pretended to think for a few seconds, then burst out laughing, "I like it!"
Well… Gao Jianfei made an agreement with the seven Emei Sect women: while he returned to his hometown to treat his mother's illness, the Emei Sect women would stay in the capital and live with Song Ying in this courtyard house. On one hand, Gao Jianfei didn't want to bring several women home, lest his family and Chen Xian misunderstand; on the other hand, leaving the seven Emei women in the capital would protect Song Ying. Similarly, within Liu Feng's sphere of influence, the seven Emei women would also receive comprehensive protection.
This is a win-win-win situation.
Several women from Emei Mountain, especially Zheng Cuiyun and Nie Xiaoxia, initially wanted to return to ZG City in the province with Gao Jianfei. However, after Gao Jianfei explained the pros and cons, they agreed to stay in Beijing.
Just as Gao Jianfei was chatting happily with several beautiful women...
"Bang!"
The gate of the courtyard house was kicked open rudely!
Then, led by Zhou Shao, a dozen burly thugs rushed in!
"Oh? They really came!" Gao Jianfei was not surprised at all. He simply took out his phone and handed it to Song Ying. "Hey, Ying, here's a phone number. The name is 'Liu.' Call this number for me later and have him come and clean up this mess."
"Huh?" Song Ying took Gao Jianfei's phone in a daze, and was about to subconsciously dial the number. Gao Jianfei stopped her, "Xiao Ying, wait until I beat these guys up before you call. Be careful with the timing, don't rush to call now."
Meanwhile, the women of the Emei Sect remained completely calm. Although more than a dozen burly men had stormed in, and each of them looked like a trained martial artist, Li Yun and Zheng Cuiyun immediately recognized them as nothing more than a group of boxers who had mastered external martial arts to their peak!
Even the most skilled external martial arts master is no match for a master of internal martial arts from a prestigious family!
"What...what do you want to do?" Gao Jianfei stood up mischievously, his face showing some panic. "You're trespassing!"
Zhou Shao's men looked at each other, finding it all quite amusing... Damn! He really is just a country bumpkin, a nouveau riche!
Zhou Shaoxian's eyes widened instantly!
He barged in, and the first person he saw was Song Ying, who was wearing a pink nightgown, looking cute and innocent. However, sitting beside Song Ying were seven stunningly beautiful women!
Holy crap! These seven women are all incredibly beautiful! Their beauty surpasses even Song Ying's!
"Gulp..." Zhou Shao swallowed hard, his heart churning with excitement... Damn it! Did I just stumble into a sea of beauties? Including Song Ying, there were a total of 8 stunning beauties! Among them, 3 were gorgeous young girls, and the other 5 were charming young women!
I'm so lucky! I actually stumbled upon it?
Hahaha! This is going to be awesome!
