Chapter 1506: The New Sect Leader

Wang Cheng was utterly dumbfounded!

This seemingly ordinary young man, he’s actually the new Sect Leader of the Hong Sect?

Although Wang Cheng had imagined Lin Feng’s possible identity before, he had never thought from this angle… Lin Feng, around twenty years old, the new Sect Leader of the Hong Sect, how could this be possible?

You must be joking, right? Wang Cheng lifted his head in disbelief but saw from Liu Shouyi’s cautious expression that Liu Shouyi definitely wasn’t joking!

At this moment, Wang Cheng finally realized how ridiculous his recent actions had been. The painstaking matchmaking for his son Wang Zheng was actually meant to compete with the new Sect Leader of the Hong Sect for a woman? Wang Zheng brought people to confront Lin Feng, wanting to force Lin Feng to give up Tang Rou? And tonight, he also wanted to use the power of the Hong Sect’s second leader, Lord Liu, to seek revenge on Lin Feng…

Any of these three matters, once spoken of, was enough to make others laugh their heads off, yet Wang Cheng and his son had managed to do them all!

At this moment, Wang Cheng’s face was a little pale, his facial muscles trembling… He turned to look at Lin Feng, only to find Lin Feng still wearing a harmless smile, slightly looking down at him.

“I’m sorry… Lin Feng… sir! I’m sorry, I realize I was wrong! It was my ignorance that offended you… Please forgive my ignorance…” Wang Cheng wanted to explain himself clearly, but he truly didn’t know how to plead to make Lin Feng forgive his mistakes…

Fang Xiaomei and Wang Cong were also frozen, as locals of Jiangzhou, even though they hadn’t really had much contact with people in this kind of circle, they knew the Hong Sect was one of the two most famous organizations in the Jiangzhou Underground World. And ever since Lord Dragon from the Qingzi Sect turned himself in, the Hong Sect had become the legitimate top society force in Jiangzhou… And Tang Rou’s boyfriend Lin Feng, he’s such a big shot, the Sect Leader of such a large organization?

This can’t be true… Fang Xiaomei and Wang Cong exchanged a deep glance, realizing how foolish their plan was if Lin Feng truly was the Hong Sect Leader. Obviously, they should have tried to gain favor with such an influential figure rather than offending Lin Feng and instead pleasing Wang Cheng, a petty person… How silly!

“Lord Liu, that’s enough… Don’t let it escalate any further, let him go!” Lin Feng finally spoke calmly, seeing Liu Shouyi having laid ruthless hands on Wang Cheng multiple times. He had no interest in dealing with Wang Cheng further, instead reminding Liu Shouyi not to be too impulsive.

“Hmph! Lord Lin has spoken! Hurry up and get lost! In the future, be observant, and be mindful in whatever you do!” Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Liu Shouyi fiercely kicked Wang Cheng and yelled angrily.

“Yes, yes… Thank you for Lord Liu’s lesson, thank you for Lord Lin’s generosity!” Wang Cheng at this moment felt like he had been granted amnesty, thanked them repeatedly, bowed his head, and sulkily left the scene with the already trembling Wang Zheng.

“Lord Lin, are you here for the charity gala tonight?” After driving away Wang Cheng, Liu Shouyi finally exhaled and turned to Lin Feng, smiling and greeting him.

“I’m just here to check things out, not sure if Lord Liu has any pointers for me?” Lin Feng looked at Liu Shouyi with a calm expression, casually smiling and asking.

“Come on, Lord Lin must be joking… How could I have the qualifications to offer you any advice!” Liu Shouyi shook his head, “I’m just here to gain some insights myself! If Lord Lin doesn’t have any business, shall I go inside first?”

After Lin Feng had forcibly taken the coveted position of Sect Leader from Liu Shouyi, there wasn’t much to talk about between them, so after exchanging a couple of greetings, Liu Shouyi prepared to enter the Four Seasons Hotel.

Lin Feng had no issues to discuss with Liu Shouyi either, so he simply gestured for him to proceed…

With a slight bow to Lin Feng, Liu Shouyi led his people away.

Only the stunned Mr. and Mrs. Fang Xiaomei were left on the scene.

“They’re gone, they’ve really all gone!” Fang Xiaomei exhaled a sigh of relief, clasped her hands together, and slightly closed her eyes, instinctively saying, “Thank you Buddha for the protection! It’s finally over!”

Seeing Fang Xiaomei’s action, Lin Feng chuckled slightly, feeling a bit contemptuous inside… The person who helped them is standing right in front, but they thanked Buddha instead, truly having a virtuous mind!

Thinking this, Lin Feng couldn’t bring himself to say much more to Mr. and Mrs. Fang Xiaomei. After all, they were relatives, he helped the two avoid physical suffering, fulfilling his duty in a way. As for the future, it would be best if they didn’t interact much!

Lin Feng returned to his BMW, parked it after finding a parking space, and then led Cao Ying and Li Liping into the Four Seasons Hotel.

Lin Feng didn’t know that just as he turned away, Wang Cong and Fang Xiaomei contemplated thanking him, but after the couple exchanged glances for a long time, neither had the courage to speak to Lin Feng, and the matter went unresolved.

…

Inside the Four Seasons Hotel, Cao Ying and Li Liping flanked Lin Feng on either side, giggling as they chatted about the recent events.

“Lin Feng, I didn’t expect your identity as the new Hong Sect Leader to be so impressive. They were almost terrified upon knowing who you were… I thought the title of Sect Leader was just impressive in name, without much practical value! Seems I’ve got it wrong?” Cao Ying gazed at Lin Feng with dazzling eyes and asked with a laugh.

Li Liping, with slightly more extensive knowledge than Cao Ying, naturally didn’t agree with her view, but Li Liping also wished to hear how Lin Feng would answer this question.

Hearing Cao Ying’s words, Lin Feng smiled slightly, jokingly saying, “Cao the great beauty, don’t ask about your own identity! For you, the mayor’s daughter, the title of Hong Sect Leader naturally doesn’t hold much practical value, so your thoughts aren’t unreasonable…”

“Come on… Don’t think I can’t sense it, you’re mocking me for my lack of knowledge!” Cao Ying pouted with some dissatisfaction.

“Oh, didn’t think you’d catch on so cleverly… Really picked up on that implication!” Lin Feng laughed, a hint of praise in his eyes as he said to Cao Ying, “Seems chatting with me there’s even an IQ-boosting effect!”

“Pfft, dare mock me for being low in intellect, be careful I’ll tell my dad on you!” Cao Ying knew Lin Feng was joking, and she responded with a smile.

“Telling Mayor Cao won’t help, we’re not related in any special way, and I’m not a civil servant… He can’t manage me if he wanted to!” Lin Feng said proudly.

“Lin Feng, you boy, don’t be so cocky, who says I can’t do anything about you?” Just then, a broad yet authoritative voice suddenly rang out from behind, and upon hearing the familiar voice, Cao Ying instinctively turned around, seeing Cao Tiannan standing behind her with a smile, and his secretary Li Jiawei by his side.

“Uncle…” Li Liping turned back with a slightly nervous expression, softly greeting Cao Tiannan, who only nodded slightly in return.
