Chapter 198 From Peak to Valley

This fire must be arranged for this person, burning extremely fiercely.

The more intense it is, the more beneficial it will be for me.

Once it reaches the point where this person doubts his entire life, then after he and Lin Mei leave, this person's intelligence will lead him into a dead end, or even a corner from which there is no escape.

Before he could uncover any clues from Tang Wei.

This person would likely be unable to extricate himself from such a predicament.

As a result, at this moment, while Lü Feng appeared calm on the surface, his heart was already filled with glee.

It had to be said that Tang Shengtang was indeed the most cunning among all the people he had met so far.

But even the most cunning fox has its flaws.

Lü Feng's move was precisely to use this person's strengths against him.

Tang Shengtang likely wouldn't have thought of this layer for the time being.

Indeed, Tang Shengtang was currently completely immersed in how to create an opportunity to make Lü Feng speak.

Everything else had been completely cast aside.

As for what Lü Feng had said earlier.

He didn't want to, nor did he want to think about it.

After racking his brains along the way, they soon arrived at the Maple Leaf Scenery Hall of Zhouge Mountain Villa.

Tang Shengtang's stiff lips finally curved into a smile.

Outside a floor-to-ceiling window, a vast expanse of red maples stretched as far as the eye could see, painting the landscape in vibrant hues.

And at this moment, Tang Shengtang uttered a sentence from the depths of his throat.

"Mr. Lü, in the future, this place can also be developed as a project!"

"Mm," Lü Feng replied, admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Although he had seen it when he came last time.

But at this moment, standing at this angle, the scene that met his eyes was, he had to admit, much more spectacular than the first time.

However, Tang Shengtang was not simply seeking a mere agreement.

Before Lü Feng could speak, he continued, "However, I do have some concerns about this place."

"Concerns?"

Hearing this, Lin Mei and Lü Feng were genuinely surprised.

"What else could Mr. Tang have concerns about at this point?"

Lin Mei blurted out.

Tang Shengtang's lips twitched slightly. "You can't say that. I have to admit, this scenic spot is indeed good, but this place isn't solely mine. It has ownership behind it."

After saying this, Tang Shengtang paused deliberately.

And during this brief pause, his peripheral vision swept towards Lü Feng, who was not far away.

What did this sentence mean?

He believed that no seasoned businessman would fail to understand.

Even his assistant standing nearby was startled by this remark.

What was Mr. Tang trying to do?

Was he revealing his identity?

Not only him, but the person sent from above also felt an irresistible chill creep up the back of his neck.

This was no small matter; one wrong move could spell ruin.

As a result, at this moment, he wished he could immediately raise his voice and stop Tang Shengtang from saying anything further.

However, before he could act.

Tang Shengtang had already quietly placed a hand on the back of his right hand.

This person naturally understood what this gesture meant.

But at this moment, his mind was filled with a thousand questions.

"This?"

Tang Shengtang, still without waiting for the other person to speak, gave him a meaningful look.

Only then did the person back down.

Yet, even though his own assistant understood this matter, Lü Feng, who was standing before him, seemed like a different person.

The one before him was merely another person who looked exactly like the Lü Feng he had encountered that day.

Lü Feng's voice was gentle. "What's there to be concerned about? With Mr. Tang's financial resources, you will eventually be able to acquire this place completely. Isn't that the ultimate goal of our collaboration?"

These words completely exceeded Tang Shengtang's expectations.

What was wrong with this person?

Did this person not suspect him at all?

Tang Shengtang's initial judgment even wavered at this point.

No, it couldn't be.

If that were the case, he wouldn't have seen Lü Feng's attempt to record their conversation at the restaurant that day.

As a result, Tang Shengtang could only echo,

"Of course."

Zhouge Mountain Villa had countless projects.

At every location, Tang Shengtang had another opportunity.

But while the opportunities increased, the young man's mouth seemed to have been sealed shut.

Tang Shengtang racked his brains, but he was ultimately unable to obtain what he wanted from the man.

After touring for a full hour and a half.

Tang Shengtang himself was starting to feel exhausted.

He could only take a break for now.

Taking a deep breath and glancing at Lü Feng beside him, he said in a low voice, "Mr. Lü, we've been walking for quite some time. As an old man, my stamina isn't like yours, young people. I can't keep up. How about we go to the tea room to rest for a while?"

Tang Shengtang was polite, so Lü Feng followed suit.

"This Zhouge Mountain Villa is your territory, Mr. Tang. We are guests, and guests should follow the host's lead!"

"Good, good, good!"

Tang Shengtang wasn't just looking to rest; even if his physical strength had indeed declined, he wouldn't be like this.

It was because, at this moment, he clearly felt that his own mind was not enough to deal with Lü Feng.

Therefore, he came up with this plan.

While Lü Feng and Lin Mei were in the tea room.

He could completely gather his confidants and re-discuss their strategy.

In any case, today, Lin Mei and Lü Feng were about to arrive.

From the moment these two set foot in Zhouge Mountain Villa.

They were no longer just two ordinary people.

They were his prey.

How could a seasoned hunter let prey that had already fallen into his meticulously laid trap escape?

"This way, this way!" With this thought, Tang Shengtang immediately led them to the tea room.

However, all these actions.

Lü Feng found them utterly contemptible.

At this moment, after learning of this person's intentions.

He found all of this person's tricks laughable.

Compared to the beginning, Lü Feng's mindset was even more peaceful.

After all, someone was providing him with free food and drink, and he even had a good show to watch. Why wouldn't he enjoy it?

Feeling content, he was about to let the day pass uneventfully.

Then he would go find Tang Wei to discuss the next steps.

To arrange the upcoming plan.

However, at this very moment, just as Tang Shengtang and his entourage turned a corner.

Lü Feng's peripheral vision instinctively swept to the side.

In an instant, his eyes caught sight of an uninvited guest.

In another direction of the intersecting corridors.

Lü Feng saw a familiar figure.

And at this very moment, Lü Feng's previously calm state of mind was instantly like a sea swept by a storm, churning with turbulent waves.

It wasn't for any other reason, but because of the person before him.

This person had the potential to completely ruin his meticulously planned scheme in an instant.

Lü Feng wasn't speaking nonsense.

Because this person was none other than Tang Shengtang's son, Tang Wei.

What was even more critical was that this person seemed to have already noticed him.

As a result, this person's previously aimless steps instantly gained direction.

"This is bad!"

Seeing this, Lü Feng's heart sank.

Once discovered by this person, given Tang Wei's guileless nature.

He would definitely greet him.

These were all manageable.

But what if this person then blurted out everything about Chen Yang in front of Tang Shengtang?

Then everything he had planned would vanish in an instant.

Tang Shengtang would also instantly understand why Lü Feng was no longer interested in gathering information.

Because the focus had shifted to his own son.

"Please don't come over!"

Lü Feng could only pray that Tang Shengtang would lead his entourage to walk faster.

This way, he could shake off Tang Wei.

If they were to pass by each other.

With a crowd surrounding them, Tang Wei wouldn't be able to ignore that this was a significant event.

Therefore, the probability of him forcefully inserting himself would be very low.

But precisely at this moment, Tang Shengtang ahead seemed as slow as a snail.

Three, two, one!

As Lü Feng was about to disappear into the blind spot of the corner.

His heart, which had been held in his throat, was about to return to its place.

However, at this very moment, his heart, which had not yet settled, suddenly leaped.

"Hey."

Behind Lü Feng, a low but familiar voice, which was soon to be out of place, entered his ears.

The moment he heard this voice.

Lü Feng felt as if he had been pushed from a mountain peak into a valley.
