Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 562: Stratagem (Fifth Update)

"Young Master Wang, don’t even mention it, a man named Lin Feng suddenly appeared, and it seems he has already confirmed his relationship with Leng Mei. You know how close I have been to the Leng Family over the years, and I have a good relationship with Leng Mei, all for the sake of being with her. But now, Lin Feng has brazenly snatched her away from me; how can I not be angry!"

"And what’s even more infuriating is that, in front of Leng Mei, Lin Feng doesn’t care about anyone. He boldly shows off their affection. Even Leng Mei’s brother, who is also my junior, couldn’t stand it, went to reason with Lin Feng, and ended up being beaten into serious injury by Lin Feng himself. Later on, when Zeng Xiaolong, Young Master Zeng, heard about this incident, he wanted to take revenge for me but ended up getting his legs broken by Lin Feng and was sent to the hospital."

"It’s clear just how arrogant Lin Feng is. Leng Mei being so close to him must surely be under coercion. Young Master Wang, I know you have connections and people. Please help me this time, deal with Lin Feng for me, will you?"

Yuan Kun quickly explained the situation to Young Master Wang, but he did so deviously, painting Lin Feng as a third-party interloper and a tyrant who bullied men and oppressed women. Inside, Yuan Kun thought surely Young Master Wang would help him deal with Lin Feng, considering all the past favors and the considerable amount of money Yuan Kun had made for him over the years. Such a small request, he assumed, would surely be granted by Young Master Wang.

What others didn’t know, Yuan Kun was well aware of: though Young Master Wang might be a scion of a prominent family in Capital City, his actual influence was extraordinary. He had numerous top-tier experts under his command. If he could leverage Young Master Wang’s power to kill Lin Feng, he could close the book on this matter cleanly. No one would suspect him. If he could eliminate Lin Feng now, before Lin Feng had the chance to expose him, everything would return to its rightful track, and that would be the perfect ending he desired.

"What? Are you talking about Lin Feng? The Lin Feng from Tianhai Yinbo University?" Young Master Wang originally thought Yuan Kun had encountered some trouble but didn’t expect it to be because of a guy named Lin Feng. Just as he was about to say something, it clicked in his head—a problem emerged. Was the Lin Feng that Yuan Kun mentioned the same Lin Feng that he, the Boss, and Old Four had encountered recently?

"You know Lin Feng too, Young Master Wang?" Hearing Young Master Wang’s reaction, Yuan Kun was stunned. He thought to himself, Lin Feng had only arrived in Capital City two days prior; how could Young Master Wang know about him? What’s going on here? It sounded as if Young Master Wang was very familiar with Lin Feng...

"Yuan Kun, stay away from Lin Feng. He’s not someone you should provoke, and you should definitely not touch Leng Mei. Someone else will deal with Lin Feng in the future," Young Master Wang warned Yuan Kun sharply upon hearing his proposal, immediately turning around and leaving the room with Yuan Kun staring in bewilderment.

Though Young Master Wang left, his heart was still racing because he remembered the warnings from Boss Li Zerui and Old Four Max Dorrell. Lin Feng was untouchable now, a monster stronger than Boss Li Zerui himself, without anyone capable of subduing him. Under such circumstances, provoking Lin Feng was tantamount to courting death!

Now, with Yuan Kun plotting against Lin Feng, it was indeed akin to seeking death. How could he possibly provoke Lin Feng over such an insignificant individual? Issuing a warning to Yuan Kun was the best he could do for him; what Yuan Kun did afterward was none of his concern.

Although Young Master Wang loathed Lin Feng to the core, he knew better than to act rashly now. He had faith in the Boss’s words; when the Boss succeeded in his breakthrough, he would take care of Lin Feng. Even though that meant waiting for some time, it didn’t matter much. He could just avoid Lin Feng for the time being. Compared to life, pride meant nothing. Without life, what use was pride? Young Master Wang was determined to completely distance himself from Yuan Kun and decided that, for his safety, he would lay low and not make any moves while Lin Feng was in Capital City.

As Young Master Wang left after dropping a warning and walked out, Yuan Kun was shockingly baffled. He wondered: Lin Feng... who exactly is Lin Feng? Why was Young Master Wang behaving like this after hearing that name? This was Young Master Wang of Capital City, who had never feared anyone!

Others might not know, but Yuan Kun was keenly aware of Young Master Wang’s significant power in Capital City. It was no exaggeration to say that in Capital City, there was almost nothing that Young Master Wang couldn’t accomplish. Yuan Kun had seen more than once at the Jianghu Club how the so-called "Four Young Masters of Capital City," all obediently stood in front of Young Master Wang and respectfully called him Boss Wang. One could hardly imagine what kind of status and power that entailed!

Yet even such a formidable Young Master Wang had expressed himself in such a way, clearly indicating his great fear of Lin Feng. It was utterly unbelievable. Yuan Kun thought, isn’t Lin Feng just a French teacher with no significant background, albeit one with exceptional skills? Nobody would believe such a story if he told them.

But since Young Master Wang said so, it meant Lin Feng might have some hidden trump cards unseen by others. Should he really do as Young Master Wang suggested, do nothing for now, and stay away from Lin Feng and Leng Mei?

How could this be possible? If he followed Young Master Wang’s suggestion, then Lin Feng would surely expose what he had done. If the Leng Family found out about this, even if Lin Feng weren’t Leng Mei’s boyfriend, they would never forgive him. Wouldn’t his meticulously devised plan of many years go up in flames?

No, such a thing must not happen!

Yuan Kun’s heart was filled with unwillingness. If his years-long plan were to be utterly ruined by Lin Feng’s appearance, he could never swallow this humiliation. If he wanted to restore everything to the way it had been, there was only one way left—Lin Feng had to die!

If Lin Feng died, then he wouldn’t be able to expose Yuan Kun. If Lin Feng didn’t expose him and completely disappeared, then he, Yuan Kun, would once again be the only choice for the Leng Family. A few years later, he would still end up with Leng Mei. That would be breaking through the fog to see the sun!

Yes, that’s what he would do!

Having thought this through, he immediately went out, drove his car, and headed to a villa. That villa was where he had placed Master Uncle Liu Hong. Initially, Liu Hong had intended to leave, but Yuan Kun persuaded him to stay and rest assured, promising that he would find a way to obtain the Ancient Exotic Jade. How could he let such an S-class superb martial artist, who had emerged from seclusion only on occasion, slip away so easily?

"Master Uncle, I know the whereabouts of the Ancient Exotic Jade!" Yuan Kun burst into the room, shouting excitedly. He saw Master Uncle Liu Hong sitting in the living room, surely waiting for news about the Ancient Exotic Jade. If he told Master Uncle Liu Hong that there was news about the Ancient Exotic Jade now, he would certainly be overjoyed.

"What, there’s news? That’s fantastic! Where is the Ancient Exotic Jade now?" Liu Hong, hearing that there was news about the Ancient Exotic Jade from Yuan Kun, was instantly overjoyed. The reason for his emergence from seclusion was for this piece of Jade. Why else would he have come to Capital City? Now that he finally had news of the Ancient Exotic Jade, as long as he knew its location, he would find a way to acquire it. With that piece of Jade, his cultivation might rise by a significant margin. Such an opportunity was truly hard to come by.

"Master Uncle, that Ancient Exotic Jade was rewarded to Lin Feng by Old Master Meng as a token of thanks for saving his life! And let me tell you something else, Master Uncle. I had asked Lin Feng about it, but he denied it. I estimate no one could get him to admit it; after all, that piece of Ancient Exotic Jade is too miraculous—everyone wants to claim it for themselves," Yuan Kun straightforwardly twisted the truth, leading the disaster to Lin Feng while speaking righteously and earnestly, making it hard for anyone not to believe him, leaving no room for doubt.

However, Yuan Kun’s thoughts were not on these things. He was secretly elated inside. With these words spoken, Master Uncle Liu Hong would not give up on the Ancient Exotic Jade—thus Lin Feng was absolutely doomed. He even laid a bit of groundwork in case Master Uncle Liu Hong later confronted Lin Feng about the Jade; by then it would be too late for Lin Feng to claim the Jade wasn’t with him. Master Uncle Liu Hong would certainly kill Lin Feng.

As long as Master Uncle Liu Hong killed Lin Feng, everything afterward would be much easier. Yuan Kun could easily find an excuse to shrug off the incident. Although it might slightly offend Master Uncle Liu Hong, what did that matter? Once he married Leng Mei and officially became the Leng Family’s son-in-law, all the industries he had been fostering for years would explode like a gusher. By then, he would establish his own financial empire. Let Master Uncle Liu Hong be angry; at worst, he would find another opportunity to compensate him with some other heavenly treasures.

Ha-ha! Lin Feng, let’s see how you die this time!

Yuan Kun grew happier the more he thought about it, eagerly anticipating Lin Feng’s death at the hands of Master Uncle Liu Hong, perfectly aligning with his plan...

"As long as it’s not in the hands of Leng Hui and Meng Ping, it’s easy to handle. If it’s in Lin Feng’s hands, then that’s even better. I’ll just find an opportunity to take care of Lin Feng, then take back the Ancient Exotic Jade, ha-ha!" Hearing Yuan Kun’s response, Liu Hong laughed heartily. It was easy to handle as long as it wasn’t with Leng Hui and Meng Ping—they were protected by that Old Monster in the Forbidden City, and no one dared to touch them.

But if the Ancient Exotic Jade was in Lin Feng’s hands, the situation would be entirely different. Liu Hong knew Lin Feng had some strength, but no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t possibly be a match for him. After all, Lin Feng was still so young; he stood no chance in a fight, making acquiring the Ancient Exotic Jade a certainty—with no possibility of change!
