A bar inside the Wanjin Hotel.
"Young Master Lin, we've tracked the car's whereabouts."
Lin Wanzhou looked up at the young man who walked in: "Where did it go?"
"It went to the Summer Villa."
The young man replied.
"The one in the mountains?"
"Yes."
The young man nodded, while another person at the side looked up in surprise: "What is Sister Xiao taking that kid to the Summer Villa for? That villa belongs to Qin Wannian's group."
Saying this, he turned to look at Lin Wanzhou.
"Young Master Lin, this could be tricky."
Ma Ning furrowed his brow; Qin Wannian's group has significant backing, with Zhongtian holding a special status in the five central provinces, and all the fathers in Qin Wannian's group are currently in power positions.
Though Ma Ning's family has some background, in front of Qin Wannian's group, he could only play second fiddle, a notch lower.
As for barging in?
He never even considered it; offending Qin Wannian's group would be disastrous for him.
Lin Wanzhou snorted coldly: "What's so tricky about it? It's just Qin Wannian's group."
The two people beside him dared not respond, after all, it was a tricky remark.
"Young Master Lin, calm down, there's still a way to deal with that Li fellow."
"Oh, you have a way?"
Lin Wanzhou turned to look, though he didn't think Li Feng would have any ambiguous relations with Xiao Mingyue, considering she was the notorious female demon of Sea City.
She kept all men at arm's length, practically an iceberg.
Yet just the thought of Li Feng being with Xiao Mingyue irked him as if someone had snatched his woman, putting a green hat on his head.
"Indeed, why not use a borrowed knife to kill?"
After a pause, Ma Ning coldly chuckled; Lin Wanzhou turned to him.
"A borrowed knife to kill?"
"You mean to use Qin Wannian's group's hand to deal with that Li fellow?"
Ma Ning nodded.
"But that Li Feng probably has no connections with Qin Wannian's group, let alone any conflicts. How do you borrow this knife?"
Ma Ning coldly laughed: "Huh, do you think no one likes a stunning woman like Sister Xiao?"
"Moreover, to my knowledge, Qin Wannian and Sister Xiao grew up together as childhood sweethearts in the same compound, only to part ways due to family circumstances."
"Later, Sister Xiao's marriage alliance with the Xu Family, Qin Wannian boldly declared at the wedding that if the groom dared to bully Sister Xiao, he wouldn't let him off."
"But later, the young master from the Xu Family was unlucky and died shortly after marriage."
"I seem to have heard about this; it appears Qin Wannian still has feelings for Sister Xiao. He's over thirty and still doesn't have a girlfriend, could he be waiting for Sister Xiao all this time?"
Another person also speculated upon hearing this.
Listening to their conversation, Lin Wanzhou's expression darkened: "Hmph, so you plan to use Qin Wannian to deal with that Li fellow?"
"Yes, Qin Wannian has always had lingering feelings for Sister Xiao. However, because of that marriage alliance, Sister Xiao shies away from marriage and remains single, while Qin Wannian has always been there. If rumors spread now that Li Feng has feelings for Sister Xiao."
"Hehe, would Qin Wannian be able to sit still?"
"Could Qin Wannian be so easily fooled?"
"Hmph, when it comes to the woman a man loves, intelligence becomes zero, doesn't the hotel lobby have surveillance?"
"Sister Xiao linked arms with that Li fellow, leaving the hotel intimately, how do you think Qin Wannian would react?"
Ma Ning's lips curled into a sinister smile.
"Perhaps it's feasible."
The young man at the side nodded.
Lin Wanzhou also downed his drink in one gulp: "Let's do it, I want to see Qin Wannian and that Li Feng tear each other apart."
Lin Wanzhou and Qin Wannian were not on good terms either; despite having met a few times, Qin Wannian's arrogant demeanor made him want to stomp him down and give a few harsh kicks.
"Bai Feng, go get the photos, Ma Ning, think about how to send them to Qin Wannian."
"Okay."
The two nodded.
"Young Master Lin, may I offer you a drink?"
At this moment, a tall beauty in an off-shoulder dress, accentuating her figure, approached with a glass of wine.
Lin Wanzhou looked up, visibly pleased, even though this woman was not as striking as Xiao Mingyue, she still stirred his interest.
"Young Master Lin, we'll head over first."
Ma Ning and Bai Feng got up to leave, not wanting to be the third wheels, leaving Lin Wanzhou to pat the seat beside him.
Just when he was fuming inside, needing to let off some steam.
"Brother Wannian, what's wrong?"
Wei Tao originally came to tell Qin Wannian that Xiao Mingyue had gone for a drive with Li Feng in the passenger seat, but as soon as he spoke, he saw Qin Wannian's face darken, so he craned his neck to look.
"This, could it be Sister Mingyue?"
"What happened?"
Cao Ran was puzzled as he looked at the startled Wei Tao, who said: "Someone sent a photo, and it's Sister Mingyue linking arms with that Li Feng."
"Huh?"
Cao Ran suddenly startled and couldn't sit still: "Could Sister Mingyue be interested in this Li Feng?"
"Impossible, right?"
"Although Li Feng has some skills and is doing well in Huacheng, just being rich isn't enough to win Sister Mingyue's favor."
"Moreover, he reportedly was a live-in son-in-law and there were those previous scandals online about him latching onto women for support, and taking over Century Group; though not necessarily true, his reputation is terribly poor."
"Sister Mingyue, how could she be interested in such a mediocre person?"
Even though Wei Tao lost to Li Feng in a racing competition, he still arrogantly regarded Li Feng as insignificant, believing it was sheer luck that he even sat in front of them.
But this Li Feng also seemed "puffed up," truly believing he was someone.
Cao Ran understood Wei Tao's glance and nodded in agreement: "That's right, what is Li Feng worth? We offered and he had the audacity to openly refuse, such ungratefulness."
"As if he's something grand, if Sister Mingyue wasn't around earlier, heh."
Cao Ran sneered contemptuously.
"That's enough."
Qin Wannian interrupted their "comfort."
"There's nothing between Mingyue and me, how many times do I need to say it before you believe? I'd actually be relieved if Mingyue truly found a man."
"Uh, even if that man isn't you?"
"Scram!"
Qin Wannian glared at the talkative Wei Tao, who rolled his eyes: "Brother Wannian, we're all friends here, stop pretending."
"We're not blind."
"And since this guy dared to disrespect us, I am pretty annoyed too, just the chance to deal with him."
Wei Tao clenched his fists, chuckling coldly.
"Who do you want to deal with?"
