Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 561: The Enraged Yuan Kun (4th Update)

"I finally understand what’s going on," he sighed. "Why don’t I have a granddaughter? If I did, I’d have Lin Feng as my grandson-in-law too! Haha!" After listening to Leng Hui, Meng Ping finally got what he meant by supporting Leng Mei and Lin Feng being together. If it were him, he’d do the same. But inside, he felt a twinge of jealousy towards Leng Hui. He didn’t have a granddaughter, but if he did, he’d tie her to Lin Feng himself—though now, all he could do was think about it...

"I’ve always been looking forward to seeing what Lin Feng will become."

"Yeah, he’s so young! His potential is limitless!"

"I bet Lin Feng will take a path we’d never even consider!"

"What path?"

...

The two old men were completely relaxed now, happily chatting away, but their conversation was still all about Lin Feng...

...

The Jianghu Guildhall was located on the northwest side of Capital City, near the Royal Garden—an edifice well-known to the city’s residents. Its high, ancient-looking tower set it apart. Owned by Young Master Wang, this exclusive, members-only establishment catered to Capital City’s elite and offered unimaginable luxuries—something you’d never find lacking here, as per the slogan coined when he opened the place.

After leaving the Leng Family home, Yuan Kun drove straight to the Jianghu Guildhall for a drink, his mind buzzing with shock. He wanted to clear his thoughts and plan his next moves. If he didn’t drive a wedge between Leng Mei and Lin Feng, all his efforts would be in vain, and he couldn’t allow that to happen. But no sooner had he settled in had his phone started ringing. It was Xiao Hou on the other end, and without exchanging pleasantries, he instructed Xiao Hou to come over to meet face-to-face.

Yuan Kun called over a waiter who was standing by, instructing him to bring anyone looking for him directly to where he was. Then, he made his way to the room’s bar, opened a bottle of liquor, and started drinking alone, pondering his dilemma.

Soon after, Xiao Hou arrived in the room, and spotting Yuan Kun drinking, he immediately walked over and stood nearby.

"Young Master Yuan, there’s been trouble. The night before last, I did as you instructed and provoked Zeng Xiaolong to attack Leng Mei’s group, but unexpectedly, last night, things went wrong—both sides failed. Leng Hao was severely injured, but Lin Feng and Leng Mei were unscathed. Furthermore, the four enforcers who went after them ended up with chopsticks jammed into their legs, entirely crippled," Xiao Hou reported.

"Last night, I never imagined that Lin Feng would go to Beishan Villa alone and knock out a house full of experts. He... he even broke Zeng Xiaolong’s legs, and to top it off, he posted all of Zeng Xiaolong’s scandalous photos and videos online," Xiao Hou continued.

Xiao Hou didn’t beat around the bush and directly updated Yuan Kun about the events of the past two nights. He was frustrated; never had he imagined Lin Feng was such a skilled fighter. The situation was totally unforeseen. If it hadn’t been for his own cowardice in hiding, he might be in the hospital right now. Xiao Hou was at a loss to understand—wasn’t Lin Feng just a French teacher? How had he become so formidable, beating up a room full of more than a dozen fighters, including several of A-grade prowess and even one AA-grade? The whole thing was simply inconceivable!

"How is Zeng Xiaolong now? Did Lin Feng find out anything?" Yuan Kun tensed up when he heard Xiao Hou’s words. If Lin Feng had found Zeng Xiaolong, he certainly wouldn’t let him go without finding out who spread the information. And that very information was forwarded by Yuan Kun to Zeng Xiaolong. Though it was sent from an unfamiliar number and was similar to the message sent to Leng Hao, if Lin Feng chose to investigate and told Leng Mei... that would be disastrous.

With these thoughts, Yuan Kun became anxious. He hadn’t anticipated such a huge slip-up. It wasn’t his fault—who could have known Lin Feng was a top-tier fighter if they hadn’t seen him in action that morning? And last night, for Lin Feng to storm into Zeng Xiaolong’s place single-handedly... what move should he play next? Yuan Kun felt a headache coming on, struggling to find a good solution to the predicament.

"Zeng Xiaolong has been admitted to the hospital. His father was so angry that he drove everyone away from the villa, threatening to break the legs of anyone he sees from our group again. That’s why I fled last night and found a random place to spend the night. As for whether Lin Feng discovered anything—I don’t know. But just as I was leaving, I noticed Zeng Xiaolong’s cell phone left out on the table..." Xiao Hou reported.

"Young Master Yuan, I can’t stay with the Zeng Family anymore. I want to follow you, is that okay? You know I can still get things done. I’ve wanted to follow Young Master Yuan for a long time!"

Upon hearing Yuan Kun’s question, Xiao Hou hurriedly explained the situation. However, upon further thought, he realized he couldn’t return to the Zeng Family now. The only option left for him was Yuan Kun. If Yuan Kun didn’t want him, he would truly have to leave Capital City. He was very reluctant to do that; after all the effort it had taken to get to where he was in the city, he really didn’t want to leave this dazzling world behind. Even if it meant running errands for Yuan Kun, at least Yuan Kun would protect him and he wouldn’t have to leave Capital City.

"The phone! The phone!"

"Get out, just get the **** out, you’re useless, just get out!"

"Smack!"

When Yuan Kun heard Xiao Hou mention the phone, he knew immediately that something bad had happened. He flew into a rage and slapped Xiao Hou across the face, sending him flying. He wasn’t in the mood to waste words with Xiao Hou. The very thing Yuan Kun had been worried about had happened. What was he to do now? Lin Feng must have seen the contents on the phone. How was he to handle this? Yuan Kun couldn’t believe that not only had his plan not harmed Lin Feng, it had backfired spectacularly. He never imagined that Lin Feng would barge into the Zeng house and see Zeng Xiaolong’s phone. This was terrible!

After years of careful planning, he couldn’t believe that Lin Feng’s appearance was causing problems. This was incredibly frustrating for Yuan Kun. How could Lin Feng have uncovered everything he had so carefully orchestrated? After all these years of cautious work, it was all to be with Leng Mei and then to ingratiate himself with the Leng Family, to facilitate building his own empire. But now, Lin Feng had become his biggest threat. If Lin Feng were to share his findings with Leng Mei, wouldn’t that mean all of Yuan Kun’s hard work would go up in smoke?

No, this couldn’t happen! He absolutely couldn’t let this interfere with his plans. No one, absolutely no one, could stand in his way!

He had to figure out a way to deal with Lin Feng as soon as possible; otherwise, there would be endless troubles. But how? Yuan Kun couldn’t think of a good solution because after seeing Lin Feng’s abilities in the morning, he knew he could not kill Lin Feng. So what now...

"..." Xiao Hou, having been slapped and sent flying by Yuan Kun, saw Yuan Kun’s furious face and was utterly bewildered, not understanding what he said wrong to enrage the typically composed and elegant Yuan Kun. But even if he was slow, he knew that under these circumstances, it was best not to say anything and to leave instead. That was the smart thing to do, and he would seek out Yuan Kun later. He really didn’t want to leave Capital City, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to Yuan Kun so shamelessly.

With that in mind, Xiao Hou slowly got up from the ground and tiptoed out of the room. But just as he opened the door, he was surprised to see someone else trying to enter. He warned the newcomer out of kindness.

"Young Master Yuan is very angry right now; it’s best not to provoke him," Xiao Hou said, holding his now very swollen face. He was seriously dejected, still unable to understand why Yuan Kun had slapped him so hard, causing his face to swell up.

"It’s fine." Young Master Wang, seeing the person with the swollen face leave the room and say this to him, casually replied and walked into the room.

Xiao Hou watched the person enter the room without any hesitation and left the Jianghu Guildhall to find a hospital to treat his swollen face...

"You... Young Master Wang, what brings you here?" Yuan Kun, hearing the door, was about to angrily tell the person to get out but stopped when he saw it was Young Master Wang. Yuan Kun caught the words he was about to say and held them back. Now Yuan Kun was extremely puzzled as to why Young Master Wang would appear here unexpectedly; there seemed to be no reason for it.

"I was just next door. I heard the yelling from over here and wondered who it could be. Walking over to check, I didn’t expect to find you. What happened here?" Young Master Wang looked at Yuan Kun, equally puzzled. The Yuan Kun he knew was always genteel and the epitome of a good man. So what had happened today to make him so furious?

Yuan Kun was a talent, and he was also half an advisor to him, having helped him earn quite a bit of money in secret. Therefore, he considered Yuan Kun to be a sort of boss to himself. Young Master Wang was well aware of every affair concerning Yuan Kun; he knew exactly how Yuan Kun had behaved over the years. Deep down, Young Master Wang quite admired Yuan Kun — calculated and ambitious. Although such people were hard to control, they were still excellent tools for making money.

But even after all these years, he had never seen Yuan Kun explode in rage as he had today. Thus, Young Master Wang was very curious and eager to find out what could have driven Yuan Kun to such a state.
