Chapter 76

Chapter 23: Xia Qianhe's Counterattack

Lin Feng didn't expect Xia Qianhe to appear so aggressively. Twelve identical black Mercedes-Benz cars, 24 muscular and stern bodyguards, plus the Li Wuji brothers from last time, made Lin Feng smile bitterly. Did he really deserve such attention?

Wang Meng's palms were sweating. This time, Xia Qianhe had come with such a grand display, hiring so many bodyguards to protect him, clearly learning from the last encounter. This time, he wouldn't give them a chance to get close. Despite the overwhelming number of bodyguards, even the brave Wang Meng could only be on guard, determined that if a conflict arose, he would do his best and leave the rest to fate.

All the company employees watched nervously as Xia Qianhe, surrounded by 24 bodyguards, approached. It was clear that he meant no good. Su Xiaomei and others knew about the grudge between their boss Lin Feng and Deputy Mayor Hu Xiaoli, but they didn't know what new enemy the boss had provoked this time.

Su Xiaomei glanced worriedly at Lin Feng, thinking that his ability to make enemies was as strong as his ability to make money!

Xia Qianhe walked straight up to Lin Feng, while the Li Wuji brothers stood beside Wang Meng, warning him with their eyes not to make any rash moves. The 24 bodyguards guarded the doors, with the rest surrounding everyone.

"Xia Qianhe, don't involve others in our business," Lin Feng said, knowing that today's situation was difficult to resolve. He could only hope that Xia Qianhe, as a second-generation elite, would not act recklessly.

Xia Qianhe smiled, revealing the front tooth that Lin Feng had knocked out.

"My front tooth was knocked out by you. Do you know why I haven't fixed it yet?" Anger flashed in Xia Qianhe's eyes but quickly disappeared. Suddenly, he punched Lin Feng in the mouth.

"Boss Lin!" Su Xiaomei and others exclaimed in shock.

"Xia Qianhe, don't be reckless!" Liu Yingying scolded, quickly supporting Lin Feng.

"Wang Meng, don't make things worse," the Li Wuji brothers warned, their faces tense.

Wang Meng remained silent, his eyes like those of a night owl, fixed on his target. His body was taut, ready to strike at any moment.

Lin Feng covered his mouth, gently pushing Liu Yingying away. A trace of blood trickled from his nose, and his gums ached, but fortunately, he didn't lose a tooth like Xia Qianhe.

Xia Qianhe sighed inwardly, regretting that one punch hadn't knocked out Lin Feng's tooth, but he didn't follow up.

"What do you want?" Lin Feng asked, pinching his nose and speaking through a muffled voice.

Xia Qianhe smiled wickedly.

"I want to play a game with you." Xia Qianhe took a briefcase from a bodyguard and threw it to Lin Feng. "This is your confiscated business license."

Lin Feng quickly opened it and saw that it indeed contained all the business licenses for his company's assets. He was overjoyed but then looked at Xia Qianhe warily.

"What game? What do you want to play?" Lin Feng asked cautiously.

"Simple, a real-life version of Monopoly. Starting now, I will invest 50 million yuan to attack all your assets. Your task is to protect your assets from being taken over by me," Xia Qianhe said casually.

50 million! Lin Feng felt a heavy weight in his chest. Although he had earned a substantial amount from the sales of "Counter-Strike" and DingDang.com had made significant progress, the casual mention of 50 million yuan to attack all his assets left him feeling helpless.

"If you can protect all your assets in Chu City within three months, you will gain my friendship, and these business licenses will be my gift to you," Xia Qianhe snapped his fingers and said.

"What if I lose?" Lin Feng asked, frowning.

"If you lose, it means you're just a piece of trash. You dared to knock out one of my teeth, and I will repay you a hundredfold, making you suffer! I will make sure you have no place to stand in China!" Xia Qianhe said menacingly.

"Lin Feng, don't agree to it, he's a madman," Liu Yingying whispered, tugging at Lin Feng's sleeve.

Lin Feng smiled bitterly. Did he have a choice now?

Xia Qianhe noticed Lin Feng and Liu Yingying's small gesture and smiled coldly.

"If you don't agree, I'll have my men smash your internet cafe right now, and then break all your teeth and throw you into jail, charging you with assault, with no chance of bail. Do you believe me?" Xia Qianhe waved his hand, and eight bodyguards moved to smash the store.

"Wait!" Lin Feng shouted, not daring to let them destroy the store.

"Fine, I agree!" Lin Feng said, though he was angry, he knew he couldn't stand up to the powerful Xia Qianhe. Just from the fact that Xia Qianhe could get his business licenses back from the Chu City Administration for Industry and Commerce, he knew he couldn't afford to provoke him.

"Smart!" Xia Qianhe clapped, checked his watch, and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will begin attacking all your assets. I hope you can play this game with me."

"I will definitely see it through," Lin Feng said, clenching his fists.

Xia Qianhe smiled mysteriously and glanced at Liu Yingying.

"Liu Yingying, I don't know why you chose this man over Zhang Dasha, but I hope you don't regret it," Xia Qianhe sighed and said to Lin Feng, "Also, don't try to develop in Beijing in the future. Of course, you have to win this game first."

Liu Yingying's face showed a hint of concern, but she smiled, "If Lin Feng wins this game, won't he be your friend? Would you stand by and watch your friend in trouble?"

Xia Qianhe just smiled.

"Let's go!" Xia Qianhe waved his hand, and the group left.

Watching the black Mercedes-Benz cars drive away, everyone, including Lin Feng, breathed a sigh of relief. But they were soon worried again. The 50 million yuan Xia Qianhe mentioned was like a heavy stone on their chests.

"Alright, everyone, don't worry too much. A strong dragon doesn't suppress a local snake, and we already have a head start in the market. I want to see how he plans to attack my company," Lin Feng said, trying to reassure everyone. At this moment, confidence was crucial. If he lost his confidence, he would lose for sure.

But how would Xia Qianhe attack him? Lin Feng couldn't think of it, and neither could Liu Yingying.

Wang Meng's heart was boiling with rage. Being coerced like that was a first for him. Although the other side was overwhelming, he was helpless. But whether out of duty or friendship, he couldn't forgive his own helplessness.

Two fists can't match four hands, and a tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves. Since he couldn't do it alone, he would need to get some help. Lin Feng and Xia Qianhe seemed to be at a point of no return, and he couldn't just stand by.

It seemed he would have to meet up with his brothers again. Wang Meng thought of his former teammates, and a smile appeared on his lips. These people were not to be trifled with. Just from their personalities, they were more brutal and eccentric than Wang Meng, which was one of the reasons they were forced to retire from the military.

But they were just right for dealing with a second-generation elite like Xia Qianhe!
