At 9 PM, at the Emperor Hall of Xiaofeng Club.
After dealing with Zhang Xiaogang's matter, Huang Zhendong reopened a private room to entertain Ye Fei.
Ten dishes and one soup, plus two bottles of expensive red wine, showed his full sincerity.
Ye Fei held Huang Zhendong's hand to diagnose him while examining the photos of the Four Seas office.
The Guan Gong saber had been destroyed, and the murderous aura in the office had dissipated, but the darkness on Huang Zhendong's forehead was even darker than yesterday.
With a turn of the Life and Death Stone, Ye Fei quickly understood the situation.
However, before Ye Fei could speak, Huang Zhendong's phone rang. After a brief conversation, he frowned slightly but still whispered to one of his subordinates.
"Brother Ye, I'm sorry, Zhang Dajiang has come to me to plead for his cousin, who wants to apologize to both of us personally."
Huang Zhendong smiled at Ye Fei. "I thought it would be good for them to give you an explanation, so I asked him to come over later."
Ye Fei responded indifferently, "It doesn't matter."
Soon, the door was knocked on again. Huang Zhendong had someone open it, and a middle-aged couple walked in.
The man had a square face, was in his fifties, and was less than 1.6 meters tall. He was dressed in a suit and had a smooth but authoritative demeanor.
The woman was about seven or eight years younger, with a oval face, tall and slender figure, and adorned with jewelry. She walked with more charm than Sister Rong.
They were the Zhang family couple, Zhang Dajiang and Lin Ruowan.
Both were holding two boxes. Upon entering, they immediately put on broad smiles and bowed deeply. "President Huang, good evening."
"President Huang, I'm truly sorry. I failed to discipline my son, and he offended you."
Zhang Dajiang clearly knew the situation well. "I apologize for my unworthy son."
After saying this, he placed the boxes on the table and slapped himself twice.
Ye Fei glanced at Zhang Dajiang. This guy was really something, being so harsh on himself.
Lin Ruowan also smiled sweetly. "Yes, President Huang, Xiaogang was foolish. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Although their son had lost his limbs, they couldn't afford to offend Huang Zhendong and needed the protection of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
They could only swallow their pride.
Otherwise, not only would the Disney project they had just secured be canceled, but they would also have to give back the profits they had already made.
"Apologizing to me won't help."
Huang Zhendong looked impatient and pointed at Ye Fei. "Whether the matter is resolved or not is up to Brother Ye."
"Brother Ye?"
"Ye Fei?"
Zhang Dajiang clearly understood the situation. Seeing the culprit, Ye Fei, sitting in front of him, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly put on a smile. "Brother Ye, hello, hello. I'm truly sorry, I failed to recognize your greatness."
He stepped forward, bowed deeply, and held Ye Fei's hand, apologizing repeatedly, completely losing the demeanor of a billionaire.
"I hope you can be lenient with Xiaogang."
He quickly took out a check and handed it to Ye Fei, for one million.
Lin Ruowan clenched her fists, her face turning red with anger, wishing she could strangle Ye Fei.
She couldn't afford to offend Huang Zhendong, so she could only direct her hatred at Ye Fei, after all, he was just a useless son-in-law.
She had also gathered some intelligence from Huang Zhendong's subordinates, learning that Huang Zhendong favored Ye Fei because he could read faces and feng shui.
Upon learning this, Lin Ruowan concluded that Huang Zhendong had been fooled by Ye Fei, which made her even more determined to seek revenge on Ye Fei, who had no background.
Of course, she wouldn't say much at the moment, but she would remember Ye Fei's face and find a chance to take revenge in the future.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. President Huang has handled the matter, so it's over."
Ye Fei pushed back the one million from Zhang Dajiang. "I just hope it doesn't happen again."
He could sense the hidden malice in their smiles but didn't take it seriously. If the Zhang family dared to seek revenge again, he would crush them.
Zhang Dajiang smiled. "Understood, understood."
No more next time?
What gives you the right to say that?
Lin Ruowan's face turned cold, sneering inwardly. A son-in-law dares to act so arrogantly, truly not knowing his place.
"Alright, we'll talk about your son later."
Huang Zhendong gestured for them to sit aside. "I'm waiting for Brother Ye to help me dispel the negative energy."
Zhang Dajiang quickly moved aside.
Lin Ruowan's eyes gleamed with excitement. She wanted to see how Ye Fei would put on a show and find a chance to expose him, using Huang Zhendong to take revenge.
"Brother Ye, I've already smashed the Guan Gong saber into pieces and put on the amulet you gave me."
Huang Zhendong ignored the two and cleared his throat. "But I've still had bad luck these past two days. What's going on?"
Ye Fei looked at Huang Zhendong. "Let me see the amulet."
Huang Zhendong quickly took it out. The amulet was still the same, but it was stained with food and drink.
Seeing the pitiful amulet, Lin Ruowan's lips curled in mockery.
Not even putting effort into drawing the amulet, yet he dares to deceive people.
Ye Fei took a look and then held Huang Zhendong's hand, turning the Life and Death Stone. "You discarded the amulet, and it got contaminated, reducing its power by more than half, so its protective power has diminished."
"Also, have you encountered a dead person these past two days?"
He asked.
Huang Zhendong and his subordinates almost fell over in shock.
They looked at Ye Fei in disbelief.
"Brother Ye is truly a master, even knowing I encountered a dead person?"
Huang Zhendong was completely in awe of Ye Fei. "Yes, last night, on my way home from the chamber, my car had just left the gate and hadn't gone twenty meters when someone jumped from a high building and died in front of me."
"A woman with two children committed suicide, and the woman was wearing a red dress."
"Rumor has it she borrowed ten thousand in high-interest loans and couldn't pay back over three million, so in despair, she jumped to her death."
He told Ye Fei what he knew.
Lin Ruowan looked disdainful. What's so special about Huang Zhendong encountering a dead person?
As long as someone followed him these past two days, they would know everything he did.
Such an obvious scam, only Huang Zhendong would believe it.
Zhang Dajiang also smiled dismissively.
"It's this resentment that has altered your fate."
Ye Fei looked at Huang Zhendong and said calmly. "Although the murderous aura from the Guan Gong saber has stopped, the amulet is not enough to dispel the negative energy on you."
"You also encountered a woman in a red dress committing suicide, and you inadvertently absorbed her resentment."
"That resentment is the last straw that turned the negative energy on you into a tangible form."
"If I'm not mistaken, there must be a red line on your body."
He stared sharply at Huang Zhendong's abdomen.
"Enough, can you stop this nonsense?"
"Don't act like you're a master."
Lin Ruowan couldn't hold back any longer and stood up. "What resentment, what tangible form, what red line?"
"Can you stop exaggerating?"
"It's the 21st century, and you still talk about tangible negative energy?"
"Besides, I've investigated you. You're just a poor guy, a son-in-law, and you don't know anything about face reading or feng shui."
"President Huang, I can't let you be deceived by him."
She looked at Huang Zhendong. "President Huang, I'm not deliberately targeting him, but I can't stand it."
"This guy is just putting on a show. Don't believe him."
"Your bad luck these past few days is just a coincidence."
Lin Ruowan berated Ye Fei, feeling extremely satisfied, and her anger over her son's mistreatment was vented.
"Shut up!"
Huang Zhendong shouted at Lin Ruowan. "What do you know, you damn fool?"
"President Huang, please calm down. Lin Ruowan didn't mean to be malicious, she's just straightforward."
Zhang Dajiang quickly stepped in to mediate, glancing at Ye Fei. "Please forgive her, President Huang and Young Master Ye."
Zhang Dajiang had been involved in many shady businesses and didn't believe in karma, so he dismissed feng shui as nonsense.
At first, he thought that a son-in-law who could gain Huang Zhendong's favor and injure his son must have some ability.
But now, Zhang Dajiang felt disappointed.
If this was all he was, Huang Zhendong must have misjudged him, and it was a waste to bow and scrape to him.
Tangible negative energy and a red line killing people, what a load of nonsense?
Lin Ruowan didn't want to conflict with Huang Zhendong, but thinking about how Ye Fei was caught red-handed and still denied it made her angry. "President Huang, we're doing this for your own good. He's definitely a fraud..."
"Fraud my ass, I really have a red line on my body."
Huang Zhendong slammed the table, then without hesitation, lifted his shirt to reveal his chicken-like belly.
