Chapter 934: Farewell
Chapter 934: Farewell
"No need for further words, this is what Yaoyao should do. Wan’er, receive the tea." Shen Tian waved his hand, cutting off the conversation between Lin Yiwen and Zhang Lan, the two sets of in-laws. He of course knew the kind of things they wanted to say, but those were unnecessary. Now that he had made up his mind, he simply had gone ahead with it. Then, seeing Ding Wan’er standing there in a daze, he smiled and said a word.
"Oh." Ding Wan’er, completely baffled by the turn of events, had never imagined such a thing would happen. Although she was not very familiar with the etiquette, she understood what the tea ceremony signified and had never thought that during Lin Feng and Shen Yao’s wedding, Shen Tian would ask Shen Yao to do such a thing. Upon hearing Shen Tian’s words, she finally snapped back to reality and took the tea from Shen Yao, although her mind was still puzzled about why this was happening...
"The bride and groom now retire to the bridal chamber."
Seeing that all the steps of the ceremony had been completed, the master of ceremonies spoke up, signaling Lin Feng to take Shen Yao back to the bridal chamber, and Lin Feng, without a word, led Shen Yao, adorned in her phoenix crown and bridal cape, away from the assembly and returned to the bridal chamber.
"Let everyone enjoy themselves to the fullest today, no leaving until you’re drunk!" Shen Tian, seeing Ding Wan’er accept his daughter’s tea, was in an even better mood. Now that the grand ceremony was complete, he happily addressed the guests, indicating it was time to celebrate with them. Having finished with the wedding, the rest was about having fun with the guests. He wished for everyone attending the wedding to be happy, as it would be the best blessing to the newlyweds.
Having said this, Shen Tian stood up and began to mingle with the many guests, joining in the laughter and conversation. Not long after, Lin Feng, escorting Shen Yao who had changed into a bright red cheongsam, appeared to toast the guests at each table, marking the climax of the wedding celebration.
The guests were, of course, very happy and showered Lin Feng and Shen Yao with their blessings, also promptly and cheerfully drinking the toasts offered by the bride and groom. Every face in the room was illuminated with sincere smiles...
...
A few hours later, all the guests had drunk their fill, and after offering their blessings to Lin Feng and Shen Yao again, they gradually left the Shen Family residence. But after leaving the home, their thoughts turned to other matters. Despite the joy of the wedding day, as super-wealthy individuals, they were even more concerned about Lin Feng. His demeanor during the wedding had not escaped their notice, for someone so young to possess such a state of mind was truly remarkable.
Thus, in their minds, there was a common resolve to speak with Shen Tian and get clear on the exact state of affairs. With that knowledge, they would know what steps to take next...
The following morning, Lin Yiwen and Zhang Lan requested to take their leave from Shen Tian. With the wedding over, they needed to return to Tianhai quickly, as they simply could not be away from their responsibilities there. With Lin Feng’s grand wedding to prepare for, there were many tasks demanding their attention, so it made sense to leave Yuegang promptly.
Shen Tian, of course, did not try to persuade them to stay, aware that the two sets of in-laws had their hands full. So he arranged for Ocean Number to transport the two families and invited them to visit Yuegang for leisure after Lin Feng’s grand wedding. Lin Yiwen and Zhang Lan naturally did not object and readily agreed.
The Old Monster, Wan Long, and others also took the opportunity to leave. The Old Monster could not be away from the Capital City for too long. Wan Long had no pressing matters but felt he should return to prepare a grand wedding gift for Lin Feng. Zhu Tao needed to go back to protect the Heavenly Queen’s many ladies; after this event, Zhu Tao did not want any other incidents to occur with them. Leng Hao wanted to return to the Capital City to discuss Lin Feng with his grandfather, Leng Hui.
Lin Feng obviously understood their reasons, so he didn’t try to detain anyone and let the many experts leave with his parents.
After everyone had left, Lin Feng took the two ladies out to enjoy Yuegang once again. But this time, he never left their sides. The two ladies were thrilled, and before they knew it, several days had passed. While enjoying their time, they also managed to purchase everything needed for the wedding.
When it was nearly time to go, Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er requested to take leave from Shen Tian to depart for Tianhai. Shen Tian, naturally, had nothing to say; Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er’s grand wedding required much preparation, with many aspects to be handled – how could they stay in Yuegang indefinitely? Therefore, Shen Tian did not insist on holding them back and arranged for Uncle Fu to send the two off with Ocean Number.
....
At the same time, the Doer Family of Max Dorrell and the other families within the Business Alliance were in deep trouble. On one hand, they committed as much capital as possible, trying to withstand Chu Meng’s move, and on the other hand, each family was completely locked down to prevent any unforeseen events. This was an act of utter desperation; everyone knew they were targeted by assassins, and anyone who did not protect themselves was asking for death. Under these circumstances, no one dared to be careless.
Max Dorrell was especially a target for criticism. All the blame for today’s outcome was attributed to Max Dorrell. If it wasn’t for Max Dorrell’s previous incitement to unite and make a move, how could they have been pushed to this extent by Chu Meng now? Max Dorrell had long grown accustomed to this and simply turned a deaf ear to what those people said, but when it came to his father, the Clan Leader of the Doer Family, he thought it over and decided to still talk to him.
"Son, the situation is too bad right now. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have taken action against Cloud Fund. Then we wouldn’t be in this state now."
Layton Dor, a man of short stature clad in a sharp black suit that reflected his capable demeanor, spoke these words. In the past few days, he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. He was also deeply worried that things might turn even worse, and the Doer Family that had lasted for a hundred years might perish under his leadership, which he truly did not want to see.
But he didn’t blame his son because his son had already explained the whole incident to him. From a business perspective, his son had done nothing wrong. It was just an unexpected turn of events—Chu Meng did not die. If Chu Meng hadn’t been taken away by Lin Feng back then, the current situation would have been absolutely impossible.
"Father, there’s still a chance to turn things around. Boss has already come out of seclusion. As long as we can hold on for this period, once Boss kills Lin Feng and Chu Meng, our Doer Family will be able to escape this catastrophe."
Max Dorrell was deeply saddened by his father’s current state. Remembering what Boss had said, he eventually brought it up, wanting to give his father hope. And in fact, it was true. As long as they could withstand this last period, once Boss killed Lin Feng, it would then be extremely simple to kill Chu Meng. With Chu Meng dead, everything would return to calm, and no one would be able to shake the Doer Family.
"What? How is that possible? Didn’t you say that this Lin Feng was invincible to everyone, that no one could possibly kill him? Could your Boss now be more formidable than Lin Feng?"
Upon hearing his son speak so, Layton Dor was immediately puzzled. He had already heard about Lin Feng from his son. If it hadn’t been for Lin Feng being an unbeatable adversary, he would have hired the top assassins to get rid of Lin Feng long ago, and they wouldn’t be in such a passive situation right now.
However, he knew his son well; if his son said so, it meant he was utterly confident. As for his son’s Boss, of course, he was very clear about him. Originally, he had agreed to his son’s sworn brotherhood with Li Zerui precisely because Li Zerui was the eldest son of the Li Family, the first Prominent Family in the Cultivation World. But then Li Zerui disappeared, and even the entire Li Family was gone. How could Li Zerui possibly rival Lin Feng? He couldn’t understand it no matter how he thought about it.
"I don’t know the exact details, but Boss has already video called us. He must have had some incredible fortune. Now, Boss possesses the power to Obliterate the Earth. In the video, Boss easily leveled a small mountain, so I firmly believe that Boss will definitely kill Lin Feng. And even if Boss can’t kill Lin Feng, I’ve prepared some contingencies; Lin Feng is destined to die on his wedding day!"
Hearing his father’s doubts, Max Dorrell was unperturbed. Boss was truly so formidable now that it was indescribable. He was convinced that Boss could kill Lin Feng. Besides, if even Boss couldn’t match Lin Feng, then he would be forced to initiate his backup plans. At that point, he couldn’t care less about the consequences—as long as Lin Feng died, he was willing to do anything.
"Alright, then. I’ll do my best to control the situation and hope that everything happens as you’ve said. By then, as long as we can get through this period, we will slowly recover our Yuan Energy." Hearing his son speak like this, Layton Dor was instantly reinvigorated. He had not expected such a significant change to have occurred with Li Zerui. If, as his son said, Li Zerui’s power was enough to kill Lin Feng, nothing could be better. Then the Doer Family could avoid the danger of annihilation.
Furthermore, his son had mentioned that there were backups and Lin Feng’s wedding was his certain demise. This was already a done deal. Considering this, hope reignited in Layton Dor’s heart. He knew his son was not joking about such matters. If he said so, it must be true. Now, all he needed to do was control the situation as much as possible. They just had to get through this period, and then the Doer Family would recover.
"I’ll be leaving now—leaving the matters at home to you, Father." Seeing that he had lit a spark of hope in his father, Max Dorrell said his farewell and left. He handed over the affairs of the Doer Family to his father because he had to prepare for that matter, which required time to carry out. Of course, he knew that if that matter really happened, the consequences would be unimaginable, but it didn’t matter to him anymore. As long as Lin Feng died, everything would be over...
