Upon entering the private room, Ye Feng saw many familiar faces. Among them were Yang Lao's granddaughter, Yang Zixin, Du Haojie, who had previously pursued Xiao Feifei, Luo Bin, Jin Kang, Chen Xi, and four others including He Qian.
Besides them, there were two other women who were exceptionally beautiful and possessed extraordinary气质, though Ye Feng did not recognize them.
What surprised Ye Feng even more was the presence of someone he detested the most – Qin Hao.
At this moment, Qin Hao also saw Ye Feng, staring at him with disbelief, his mouth slightly agape as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Ye Feng glanced at him, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
Du Haojie was utterly shocked at this moment. He had paid a hefty sum that very morning to have the Black Dragon Gang deal with Ye Feng. He never imagined Ye Feng would still be present here, hence his expression.
"Could it be that the Black Dragon Gang hasn't made their move yet?" Qin Hao muttered to himself, taking out his phone and texting someone.
In a private billiards hall in Dongchuan City, a man with a dragon tattoo across his shoulders, holding a cigar and a billiard cue, was about to take a shot.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He frowned as he looked at it.
At this, someone next to him asked, "Master Long, what's wrong?"
"Didn't we take on a job for One-Eye to handle today? Why hasn't it been completed yet? Where is he?" Master Long said with displeasure.
The person next to him replied, puzzled, "It's not completed yet? That shouldn't be the case. He went at noon!"
"He went at noon? Then why isn't it finished by now?" Master Long's brow furrowed deeply.
Seeing his expression, the person beside him guessed, "Could something have gone wrong?"
Master Long shook his head directly, "That's unlikely. He's a cultivator. In Dongchuan City, there are very few people who can match him, besides myself!"
"Then it's strange!" the other person said, very confused.
Master Long didn't think much of it, merely saying, "Perhaps that fellow hasn't found his target yet! Or something has delayed him!"
However, what they didn't know was that One-Eye hadn't failed to act; he was already dead, thrown into the sea by Ye Feng to feed the fish.
Back in the Dragon King Hall, Yang Zixin quickly beckoned Ye Feng to sit beside her as soon as she saw him enter.
Xiao Feifei glanced at everyone present and said, "Everyone's here. Please wait a moment, I'll have the waiter bring the items!"
After Xiao Feifei left, Tang Zhiyang walked in from outside. His expression was exceptionally grim, so dark it seemed like water could drip from it.
"Oh, Young Master Tang! You've arrived as well?" Qin Hao, who had been looking confused, immediately forgot about Ye Feng's matter upon seeing Tang Zhiyang.
He widened his eyes and rushed forward with a fawning smile to welcome Tang Zhiyang.
Not only him, but even Du Haojie stood up immediately to greet Tang Zhiyang upon seeing him.
Following them, Luo Bin, Jin Kang, and others also stood up, all with expressions of obsequiousness.
This made Ye Feng somewhat surprised, and he became curious about Tang Zhiyang's identity. He turned to Yang Zixin and asked, "Miss Yang, who is this Tang Zhiyang? Why are so many people rushing to curry favor with him?"
"Tang Zhiyang's identity is not ordinary! He is the eldest young master of the Tang family, one of the four great families in the southeastern region!" Yang Zixin explained.
Hearing this, Ye Feng became even more perplexed and continued to ask, "The four great families? Which four great families are they?"
Ye Feng had never heard of the four great families of the southeastern region.
In fact, it wasn't just Ye Feng who didn't know; many people didn't. Those who did know were people with a certain status and standing.
After all, the former Ye Feng was busy making a living every day and didn't have contact with people from the upper echelons of society, so he naturally didn't understand these things.
"These four great families are the Tang family, the Xiao family, the Zhao family, and the Zhou family!" Yang Zixin whispered to Ye Feng.
"Oh, oh, how do these four great families compare to the Qin family, Li family, and He family in our Dongchuan City?" Ye Feng asked a rather foolish question.
Yang Zixin heard this and immediately laughed, "The latter are not even fit to carry their shoes! There's no comparison at all."
"What? That powerful?" Ye Feng was somewhat disbelieving.
Yang Zixin thought for a moment and said, "Let me put it this way: the total market value of the three major families in our Dongchuan City is only around one billion, while each of those four great families is in the tens of billions or more."
Hiss!
Ye Feng couldn't help but gasp. There was indeed no comparison.
"By the way, the Xiao family? Could Feifei be from the Xiao family of the four great families?" Ye Feng asked in shock, realizing something.
Yang Zixin nodded, "That's right. You don't even know this?"
"I, I really didn't know!" Ye Feng said somewhat awkwardly.
He knew Xiao Feifei was not simple, but he didn't know where she was from, nor had he ever asked.
He never expected her to be from the Xiao family of the four great families, which made Ye Feng find it hard to believe.
At this moment, Yang Zixin continued, "See those two people? They are Miss Zhao Feiyan of the Zhao family and Miss Zhou Lingyu of the Zhou family!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng looked up and immediately saw the two very beautiful young ladies with extraordinary气质.
At the same time, they were also looking at Ye Feng, offering polite smiles.
These two women, as expected of young ladies from prominent families, possessed an unusual appearance and temperament. Even without speaking, they exuded a sense of nobility and elegance.
Ye Feng also responded with a smile.
On the other side, Tang Zhiyang, facing the flattery and fawning of Qin Hao, Du Haojie, and the others, merely gave perfunctory replies before his gaze remained fixed on Ye Feng.
Seeing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Tang, why are you staring at that guy? Did he offend you?"
Tang Zhiyang nodded, "That's right! Do you know this fellow's background?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao and Du Haojie both secretly rejoiced, as they also had grievances with Ye Feng.
"This guy has no background; he's just a stinky fisherman who knows a bit of medicine! Do you want us to deal with him for you!" Du Haojie quickly said.
He had long been annoyed with Ye Feng, having been bested by him multiple times, and had long wanted revenge.
Qin Hao was even happier. Ye Feng was his mortal enemy, and he would spare no effort to get rid of him.
Learning that Ye Feng had offended Tang Zhiyang at this moment made him feel even more delighted.
"That's right. This guy dared to have designs on my fiancée. Think of a way to teach him a lesson!" Tang Zhiyang said through gritted teeth.
Du Haojie heard this and asked doubtfully, "Your fiancée is?"
Qin Hao, standing nearby, also showed a look of confusion, cupping his ear to listen.
The arranged marriage between Xiao Feifei and Tang Zhiyang was known only to their two families; outsiders had never heard of it, hence their lack of knowledge.
"My fiancée is Xiao Feifei!" Tang Zhiyang replied calmly.
"What?" Du Haojie heard this and was so startled that he quickly covered his mouth.
Tang Zhiyang heard this, frowned, and glanced at him, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's, it's nothing!" Du Haojie said, breaking out in a cold sweat and shaking his head quickly.
Xiao Feifei was actually Tang Zhiyang's fiancée? He had been actively pursuing Xiao Feifei before. If Tang Zhiyang found out, wouldn't he be finished?
At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of gratitude towards Ye Feng. If Ye Feng hadn't taken Xiao Feifei away, who knew how terrible his fate would have been...
