When Li Feng spoke, quite a few people instinctively wanted to act.
If Li Feng weren't present, they might have felt a bit of a ripple, a small wave of emotion from being provoked. But with Li Feng standing right in front of them, those tiny thoughts were immediately scared back inside.
Then someone stood up without saying a word and walked out.
Though it was a bit embarrassing, it was better than being noted by Li Feng and ending up bankrupt in the end.
No one doubted Li Feng's ability to do this.
Once someone led the way, more people stood up immediately, unwilling to risk their lives and family for nothing.
Duan Rui's face was as dark as water. These guys hesitated and were so cautious in front of him, but in front of Li Feng, they were like mice seeing a cat.
It was shameful.
Chen Kaixuan, seeing this scene, broke out into a cold sweat. What he had done just now was surely heard by Li Feng.
He had even said he'd been eavesdropping outside.
This meant everything he said had fallen into Li Feng's ears, and he had blocked Wei Lan, who was most likely Li Feng's woman.
The others present could perhaps leave, but he had no choice.
If he left now, he would not only offend Li Feng but also Duan Rui behind him. If the other party wanted to cancel the contracts, his factory would go bankrupt too.
Chen Kaixuan made up his mind instantly.
"Go, what use is it now? Li Feng is known for his vengeful nature. We're meeting in secret here today to discuss how to deal with him."
"He says everything will be forgiven if you leave now, but do you believe him?"
"Once you walk out of that door, he'll have plenty of time to deal with everyone here later. Don't think I'm exaggerating; Li Feng is definitely that kind of person."
"Now that it's all out in the open, we might as well go for broke. Li Feng isn't some untouchable king."
"He's just a person with a nose and two eyes like anyone else. Everyone here stands at the top of Huacheng's society, backed by families, connections, and backgrounds that span across the city."
"What does Li Feng have?"
"When it comes down to it, he's just a broker; he lacks background and support. Has he really conquered Huacheng purely by his own talent?"
Once Chen Kaixuan started speaking, he didn't plan to back down. He was already driven to the edge, and stepping forward meant disaster.
To survive and to keep his luxury, he had no choice but to walk a path to the bitter end.
Today, it was either his death or Li Feng's.
If he didn't deal with Li Feng, he would lose everything.
With this realization, Chen Kaixuan's intellect surged. He knew it was impossible to take down Li Feng alone; it would require the cooperation of everyone present.
"Think about it, does he really have such power? I don't think so. The fall of Sihai Group and the Qi Family's bankruptcy, and many things before that, seemed orchestrated by Li Feng."
"But is that really the case?"
Chen Kaixuan spoke loudly, his voice carrying a touch of excitement, continuing with spit flying: "No. What does the fall of Sihai Group have to do with him? It's all of you here who cut off Sihai Group's connections."
"You're the ones who suppressed Sihai Group, and even the public opinion and internal chaos in Sihai Group were orchestrated by those present."
"What did Li Feng really do?"
"He was simply a broker, bringing all of you to work together."
"Li Feng used us to topple Sihai Group, and we still have to share the profits with him and live under his threat."
"Because with just one word, Sihai Group collapsed and Qi Family was destroyed."
Chen Kaixuan spoke, suddenly releasing a cold, sinister laugh.
"But think carefully, is it really as simple as that?"
"Li Feng is nothing. Huacheng has always belonged to you, the people here. He's just someone who has taken advantage of all of you. Do we really need to fear him?"
"If he really had such power, would he become a live-in son-in-law? Don't tell me he's just being low-key or hiding in plain sight."
"All I see is that a real man wouldn't kneel to a woman, let alone become a live-in son-in-law."
Chen Kaixuan's words, like machine-gun fire, really had an effect. One must admit, when life is threatened, a person can unleash unimaginable potential.
"I think Mr. Chen is right. When I think it over carefully, it really seems that way. What is Li Feng?"
"When it comes to connections, his are just ours. When it comes to power, ha, he has absolutely none."
"As for money, it seems that all his money was given to him by us. It's quite surprising upon reflection."
"Li Feng is just something that's using borrowed power, relying on our influence to act arrogantly."
The chubby man across the table slammed the table and stood up, as if realizing something.
Duan Rui watched these two echo each other and showed a bit of surprise. Especially Chen Kaixuan, he was really unexpected. That this nouveau riche could have such eloquence was quite surprising.
Truly unexpected.
Wei Lan watched as the people who were about to leave were swayed and seemed to hesitate again.
She couldn't help but tug Li Feng, signaling with her eyes for him to say something.
Li Feng maintained a calm demeanor, watching the variety of expressions in the meeting room, then raised his wrist.
"Ten seconds left."
The atmosphere in the meeting room became extremely tense. Many weighed it in their hearts, unsure of what to do.
It seemed Chen Kaixuan's earlier words had affected everyone present.
Because when they thought carefully, it seemed what Chen Kaixuan said had some truth to it. Li Feng's dominance in Huacheng might indeed be borrowed power, relying solely on their influence.
Does Li Feng have any formidable backers?
Apparently not. There is no family background or any known support behind him.
Does Li Feng have connections?
Yes, he does.
But these connections appear to be nothing more than these local bosses from Huacheng.
Li Feng seems to have been maneuvering among them, leveraging nothing but his wits to gain benefits.
They had to admit Li Feng's methods were clever, but none of this actually belonged to him.
If all of them sided against Li Feng.
Would Li Feng still be that fearsome Hidden Dragon of Huacheng?
Seeing that no one was leaving, Chen Kaixuan curled his lips into a smile. He had won the bet.
Chen Kaixuan looked at Li Feng and revealed a cruel smile: "Li Feng, it seems the victory is decided. Without our support, are you still the Hidden Dragon of Huacheng?"
"Just try being arrogant in front of me one more time."
