Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 542 Yuan Kun’s Scheme

"Good, Leng Hao, I never expected you to be so formidable. I’m truly curious how you managed to defeat Feng Qi. Since that’s the case, we’ll leave it at this for today. You and your sister just wait, I’ll find you again. Don’t think that just because you defeated Feng Qi you can rest easy. Feng Qi isn’t the strongest under my command. Next time, you won’t have such a chance! Take two men and carry Feng Qi, let’s go!"

After coming to his senses, Zeng Xiaolong immediately realized there was a problem: the situation looked dire; Feng Qi had been defeated. If Leng Hao decided to attack again, the people around him were no match. He didn’t want to get beaten up by Leng Hao once more, so he quickly decided it’d be best to leave. That way, he’d be safer. But even now, Zeng Xiaolong couldn’t figure out how Leng Hao had managed to beat Feng Qi...

But caring about that was no longer an option. After dropping a fierce threat, he waved his hand and led his subordinates away. However, when they walked out of the room, Zeng Xiaolong’s expression instantly turned icy. He ordered two men to stay behind and follow them while the rest hurriedly left Qingyun Villa.

Nevertheless, Zeng Xiaolong had already made a decision in his heart—no matter what, he had to cripple Leng Hao to let out his anger. Leng Hao thought he was good at fighting? Once they left, he would send several top experts from home to deal with them. He couldn’t believe they wouldn’t be able to take care of the Leng siblings today!

Leng Hao, upon hearing Zeng Xiaolong’s words, wanted to rush over and thrash that bastard severely again, but was immediately stopped by Leng Mei. Leng Mei couldn’t possibly let her brother charge over again. Now that Zeng Xiaolong had already left, there was no need to do anything to him. The Zeng Family and the Leng Family had deep-seated enmity, and any rash actions that might cause problems for Zeng Xiaolong would surely provoke the Zeng Family, leaving the Leng Family in a passive situation. Leng Mei couldn’t let that happen, nor could she add trouble to Grandfather.

"Little brother, you were awesome! Don’t bother with such scum. It will only make you angry," Leng Mei said, trying to divert her brother’s attention away from Zeng Xiaolong. However, she was absolutely thrilled that her brother had succeeded in defeating the AA-rank expert Feng Qi today. She hadn’t expected her brother to become so powerful that he could defeat an AA-rank expert. She couldn’t help but lavish praise on Leng Hao. Such an astounding turnaround was extremely rare. At the beginning, when she saw that her brother was clearly in danger, how did he suddenly manage to defeat Feng Qi? It was just too exciting.

Suddenly, Leng Mei remembered what Lin Feng had said—he mentioned her brother would be fine. Could it be that all of this was Lin Feng’s help, allowing her brother to defeat Feng Qi so thrillingly? The more Leng Mei thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Otherwise, given her brother’s initial situation, defeating Feng Qi would have been impossible. What puzzled her now was how Lin Feng had helped her brother. She hadn’t seen Lin Feng take action or even say anything... What on earth was going on?

"Junior brother, you truly showed divine might today. I never thought you could defeat an AA-rank expert. As your senior brother, I’m really happy to see your achievement. When we have time to return to the Martial Arts Sect, I must tell Master and let him share the joy!" Yuan Kun also came over, looking very pleased as he commended Leng Hao. His joyful smile made everyone think he was genuinely praising Leng Hao.

But inside Yuan Kun was seething with anger. Leng Hao’s sudden outburst had disrupted his entire plan. Originally, he had expected Leng Hao to be defeated, followed by Lin Feng, and then it would be his turn to make a dramatic entrance, playing the gallant hero to save the day. But things didn’t go according to his script at all!

What was even more frustrating for Yuan Kun was why Leng Hao suddenly erupted today. Looking at Leng Hao’s condition earlier, it was even stranger. He knew Leng Hao well and knew he couldn’t have known the moves from earlier—that clearly wasn’t something taught by their Martial Arts Sect. What was happening then? Could it be that Leng Hao learned something else in secret? That seemed unlikely, as Leng Hao usually spent his time with him. If Leng Hao had learned something new, he should have known!

What...what exactly happened today? He hadn’t seen anyone helping Leng Hao. While it wasn’t impossible to win a battle against a higher-ranked opponent, the chances were almost zero. Yet, it was as if a War God had possessed Leng Hao, and right before his eyes, Leng Hao inexplicably overpowered an AA-rank expert. This...this was too inconceivable!

No matter how hard Yuan Kun racked his brain, he couldn’t understand how Leng Hao had entered that state and no matter how he thought about it, it seemed impossible. He just couldn’t figure out what had happened...

"I don’t know what happened either. Suddenly, a voice appeared in my mind, and without thinking, I just followed what the voice told me, and that’s how I defeated Feng Qi..." Leng Hao, hearing the praises from his sister and senior brother, suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and candidly shared the truth, still puzzled about where the voice had come from.

However, Leng Hao noticed Lin Feng still serenely sat in his original seat, without any change in his expression, as if his victory over Feng Qi that day was a matter of course. He couldn’t help but vaguely feel that the voice just now truly resembled Lin Feng’s voice. Could it be... could it be that it was Lin Feng who had transmitted his voice to him? How... how could that be possible...

"Anyway, brother, your victory over an AA-rank expert today is a joyous matter. Let’s go, we’ll continue our meal when we get back." Leng Mei, hearing Leng Hao’s words, immediately understood what had happened. It must have been Lin Feng who had used some special method to aid her brother. As for what method Lin Feng used, Leng Mei was not at all surprised, because Lin Feng himself was shrouded in too many mysteries, and she was very clear about this. Therefore, under the current circumstances, Leng Mei thought it best to shift the direction of the conversation.

Thinking this, Leng Mei couldn’t help but glance at Lin Feng, and seeing him nod slightly, her heart grew even more certain that Lin Feng had helped her brother. Moreover, the tender gaze from Lin Feng made her feel warm inside; having Lin Feng around was truly wonderful, there was nothing he couldn’t solve!

"Right, let’s continue our meal. Junior brother, there’s no need to be modest. A win is a win; no explanation is necessary. However, you’re much more formidable than the senior brother was at your age. When he was as old as you, he was far behind you, hahaha." Yuan Kun, hearing Leng Mei say this, also felt it wasn’t good to just stand around talking, and hastily spoke up to keep things warm and polite, as though he really cared a great deal about Leng Hao. But inside, he was incredibly frustrated.

The evening had been far too troublesome. Initially, the plan was to get Lin Feng drunk, make him lose face, and have him say things he shouldn’t. But unexpectedly, Lin Feng turned out to be a creature who couldn’t get drunk. Then, with the planned appearance of Zeng Xiaolong, Leng Hao’s sudden outburst threw the entire scheme into disarray. What bad luck had befallen him tonight... how else could all these misfortunes happen? These events usually wouldn’t have gone awry, but tonight, everything had fallen through!

No, he had to think of another way to trap Lin Feng, to ensure Lin Feng disappeared completely in front of Leng Mei...

The three of them returned to the dining table and took their seats according to the original arrangement. After such a commotion, the momentum for drinking was gone, and they started chatting casually.

"Lin Feng, besides teaching French, I wonder if you know anything about the financial markets? I’ve made quite a lot of money lately." Yuan Kun thought for a moment, finally coming up with a good strategy. As soon as everyone was seated, he steered the conversation towards finance, thinking that Lin Feng, as a French teacher and a master of medicine, surely didn’t have much time to understand these things. It seemed better to start from there. On the surface, his words sounded very friendly, as if he was simply making casual conversation.

"Yeah, the senior brother recently made quite a bit of money, even bought a nice car with his earnings." Leng Hao’s eyes lit up when he heard Yuan Kun speaking about financial matters. His senior brother had talked to him about this, and he was very clear about it. Some time ago, his senior brother really did make a good sum in the futures market and had just bought a Land Rover with the money he earned from it.

"I don’t have much research on it, just watch the news, nothing in-depth." Lin Feng replied casually. He hadn’t engaged deeply, but he was very clear and understood all the operations in the financial markets. However, he currently didn’t desire money. If he really wanted to earn money, he was confident that not many could surpass him. Nevertheless, Lin Feng was curious about Yuan Kun suddenly changing the topic—this conversation had nothing to do with tonight’s dinner. What was Yuan Kun trying to do?

"In the current futures market, it’s very easy to make money. Some friends of mine are trading futures. I don’t have much capital myself; I invested less than two million, and in less than a month’s time, it tripled. If I had more capital, I could make even more." Upon hearing Lin Feng say he hadn’t done much research, Yuan Kun felt elated and started talking about the futures market. Tripling the investment in a month was a terrifying profit margin, and such results were extremely tempting to ordinary people; few could resist such temptation.

As long as Lin Feng was tempted, the rest would be easy, and it would surely lead to Lin Feng taking a huge fall...
