It’s often said that what you fear the most is exactly what will happen.
Was the thing he was worried about about to occur?
He recognized the voice as Tang Wei’s.
Honestly, Lü Feng’s mind went blank with a resounding boom.
What should he do next?
Lü Feng had no clue.
Since things had already reached this point, he could only face the challenges as they came.
With this thought, Lü Feng took a deep, cold breath and slowly turned around.
“What is it? Is there something you need, sir?”
Lü Feng did his best to suppress the unease in his heart.
His words were calm, his demeanor as if he were meeting Tang Wei for the first time.
This action instantly confused Lin Mei.
“Lü Feng, what are you doing? Isn’t this…?”
Tang Wei. She had met him with Lü Feng at a small business gathering organized by Zhang Dong that day.
After only a few days, had Lü Feng completely forgotten this person?
No, that couldn’t be right. Before coming here, hadn’t Lü Feng said he was going out with Tang Wei to discuss business?
What was going on?
Lin Mei’s expression became utterly bewildered.
However, before she could voice her confusion further,
Lü Feng quickly pressed down on the back of Lin Mei’s hand.
Fortunately, Lin Mei and he had developed a tacit understanding during this time.
Although Lin Mei didn’t understand the reason for Lü Feng’s actions at this moment,
she eventually lowered her voice and followed Lü Feng’s lead.
Conversely, Tang Wei, upon seeing this scene,
was suddenly taken aback.
To encounter Chen Yang’s benefactor at Zhou Ge Group was something Tang Wei had never expected.
He was about to hurry forward to thank Tang Wei properly,
and also to confide the matter he had been holding in his heart.
He wanted to introduce business opportunities to Lü Feng.
This way, it wouldn’t be a disservice to Lü Feng, a brother he had known for a short time but who was always there when needed.
But Tang Wei had never imagined
that his warm gesture would be met with a cold shoulder.
“Young Master Lü, what’s wrong?”
Tang Wei’s confusion quickly turned into apprehension and fear.
Just this morning, in front of him,
Lü Feng had personally promised to repay the two million debt in installments over the coming days.
This would allow Chen Yang to completely break free from the clutches of those people.
And now,
not even a full day had passed,
and Lü Feng was acting like a stranger.
How could he possibly believe the promise of two million was genuine?
With this thought, Tang Wei was about to press further.
However, before he could speak again,
a minor commotion from the back of the crowd quickly caught Tang Shengtang’s attention.
He stopped in his tracks, immediately turned around, and pushed through the crowd to look in the direction of the noise.
Noticing Tang Wei standing face-to-face with Lü Feng,
his brow furrowed instantly.
However, at that very moment, a flicker of light ignited in his otherwise dim eyes.
Simultaneously, Tang Shengtang’s doubts began to clear up.
No wonder Lü Feng was no longer interested in him.
It turned out this kid was planning to target his son.
Although he wasn’t entirely certain if his assumption was correct,
given that his son and Lü Feng were in the same frame,
he wouldn’t believe there was no connection between them even if he were beaten to death.
With such a golden opportunity laid out before him,
how could Tang Shengtang possibly let it slip away?
With this thought, Tang Shengtang whispered a few words to his assistant.
Then, he parted a path through the crowd and, in the next second, appeared near Tang Wei.
“Tang Wei, what are you doing? Hurry up, move aside, don’t mess around.”
Tang Shengtang’s words were ostensibly to drive Tang Wei away, but in reality, they were a test of the relationship between the two.
The sudden appearance of this situation
was the quickest way to gauge their relationship.
Tang Shengtang was well aware of this.
As he spoke, Tang Shengtang’s gaze seemed to wander, but in fact, it was locked firmly on the faces of Lü Feng and Tang Wei.
What to do!
This was the first time Lü Feng had encountered such a predicament.
He had thought that everything here would be under his control.
And indeed, it had been until he arrived.
But Lü Feng had never expected that the person he was counting on for a surprise advantage
would now become his stumbling block.
It was truly ironic.
However, now was not the time for laughter.
Lü Feng’s mind was racing at lightning speed.
The surrounding air and time seemed to freeze for an instant.
Tang Wei, being questioned by Tang Shengtang,
found the words he was about to utter getting stuck in his throat.
The three of them harbored their own thoughts.
Even before Tang Wei and Lü Feng could speak,
Tang Shengtang, as an experienced businessman, clearly sensed the unusual atmosphere surrounding them.
Now, let’s see what tricks you have left!
Once Tang Shengtang confirmed that Lü Feng intended to use his son as an entry point,
he would do everything in his power to sever any connection between Lü Feng and his son.
Cutting it off at the source, no matter how clever or skilled Lü Feng was,
he would likely be powerless.
With this thought, Tang Shengtang’s earlier displeasure vanished.
Seeing that his son remained silent,
Tang Shengtang immediately spoke up.
“Are you deaf? Why aren’t you going back? Mr. Lü is busy, how can you disturb him? Besides, do you even know him?”
Tang Shengtang’s words were filled with the reprimand of an elder towards a junior.
However, Lü Feng understood these words perfectly.
This was a forced confession from Tang Wei.
The onlookers watched this scene with confusion.
But Lü Feng’s heart, like Tang Shengtang’s, was tightly strung.
This was the first time Lü Feng had entrusted his fate to an outsider.
Now, even if he didn’t, there was no other option.
“Speak up.”
Tang Shengtang was already impatient. He glanced at Tang Wei, who still remained silent, and was about to reach out.
However, at this very moment,
a voice emerged from deep within Tang Wei’s throat.
Hearing this, Lü Feng’s entire nervous system tensed up.
Especially noticing that as he spoke,
Tang Wei’s eyes were constantly scanning him.
Lü Feng’s heart instantly turned cold.
This time, it was definitely over.
Because, based on Lü Feng’s understanding of this person,
and his personality, which could even fluster Chen Yang,
this kid would definitely not say anything satisfactory.
“Forget it, I’ll have to find another way later!”
Lü Feng, looking dejected, was about to walk towards him.
Then, he intended to find a way to stop the latter part of his words.
Lest he say more and more.
Too much talk leads to mistakes.
But just as he was about to move his front foot,
the words that entered Lü Feng’s ears stunned him completely.
