Ye Feng, initially surrounded by four cars and unsure of what to do, heard two loud bangs the next second.
Bang! Bang!
The two cars flanking him were directly rear-ended and sent flying.
One was hit so hard that its front end lifted, flipping onto the ground.
The other was forced sideways, crashing into the guardrail, mangling it and creating a large dent.
"What the hell is going on?"
Ye Feng and Xiao Feifei were stunned by the scene.
At this moment, the people in the other two black Passats noticed their companions had been hit and roared in anger, "Damn it, who is it? How dare they interfere!"
The person in the rear car quickly replied, "Big brother, the other party seems to be assassins too! A total of three cars!"
"What? Fellow professionals? Are they here to steal business?"
The person in the front car was taken aback.
The next second, he slammed on the brakes, forcing Ye Feng and the others to stop.
Immediately after, several men wearing Rakshasa masks emerged from the cars, their faces filled with rage.
At this point, two bloodied figures crawled out of the overturned cars, their masks shattered.
They quickly approached the other two, glaring angrily at the three Buick cars.
As they watched, the three Buick cars also stopped, and three men wearing ghost face masks stepped out.
The leading ghost face masked man was bald, making him easy to identify.
The two groups stood on the sides in front of and behind Ye Feng's car, both looking at each other with displeasure.
"Ghost face masks, are you from the Ghost King organization?" the group with Rakshasa masks asked with apprehension.
The bald ghost face man sneered, "I didn't expect it to be your Rakshasa organization. What a coincidence!"
Inside the car, Ye Feng and Xiao Feifei watched the two sides poised for a fight, completely bewildered and clueless.
Ye Feng observed closely and noticed that on the Rakshasa mask side, the strongest was a long-haired Rakshasa man, whose cultivation had reached the early Grandmaster stage.
The other three were all at the late Innate stage, undeniably powerful.
On the other side, the strongest among the ghost face mask group was the bald ghost face man, also at the early Grandmaster stage, with the other two at the late Innate stage.
Their attire and aura told Ye Feng that these individuals were no ordinary people; they were all assassins.
Ye Feng had encountered similar people before, like when Qin Hao from the Qin family in Dongchuan City hired someone to kill him.
However, that person was far inferior to these individuals, being merely a mere mortal-level subordinate, a far cry from these men.
Watching their standoff, Ye Feng understood that both groups were likely there to kill him.
However, they also seemed to have their own grievances, leading to this situation.
"Ghost King organization, what do you mean? These two were our prey first!" the long-haired Rakshasa man said.
The bald ghost face man sneered, "What do you mean our prey? These are our prey. If you know what's good for you, get lost!"
"What do you mean? Are you planning to forcibly take them?" the long-haired Rakshasa man asked angrily.
The bald ghost face man laughed, "So what if we are? Didn't you do the same thing last time?"
"Then there's nothing more to say. We'll have to fight! Whoever wins, the prey belongs to them!" the long-haired Rakshasa man said coldly.
"Heh, that's exactly what I'm thinking! Attack!"
With that, both sides charged at each other and began to fight.
The Rakshasa mask side had four people, while the ghost face mask side had three, seemingly outnumbered.
However, two of the Rakshasa mask members were injured from the earlier collisions, so a two-on-one fight might not be a match for the ghost face mask side.
But as they were fighting, a sudden screech of car brakes came from behind.
Hearing the screech, Ye Feng suddenly realized something.
The next second, Ye Feng abruptly opened the car door, grabbed Xiao Feifei, and they rushed towards the guardrail.
Seeing this, Xiao Feifei asked confusedly, "Hey, hey, why are you in such a hurry!"
"Why? If we don't hurry, we'll lose our lives!" Ye Feng said irritably.
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, a violent collision sound erupted, and their car was sent flying forward.
"Ah! My beloved car!!!"
Ye Feng cried out, his heart breaking! His beloved car had been rear-ended!
Seeing this, Xiao Feifei remembered they were on the highway.
At the same time, she felt incredibly fortunate that Ye Feng had pulled her out, otherwise, they would have been severely injured or killed in the crash.
However, it wasn't over yet. Car after car rushed forward, followed by a series of rear-end collisions, the sounds of impact as jarring as explosions.
The fighters in the middle of the road were almost hit by the cars, but fortunately, their quick reflexes allowed them to dodge.
At this moment, inside the provincial capital's Finance Hall, people were gradually entering and finding their seats.
Zhou Lingyu also arrived, but she didn't immediately go in and sit. Instead, she stood at the entrance, waiting for someone.
She was waiting for Ye Feng and Xiao Feifei.
This was because Ye Feng had discussed with them the previous day that if any one of them tried to secure the project alone, it would be nearly impossible.
Not only was the project's subsidy a staggering two billion, making it difficult for a single entity to handle, but more importantly, several other parties were joining forces to compete for it.
For instance, Zhao Yanxuan represented the Zhao family, and Tang Zhiyang represented the Tang family, forming an alliance to vie for the project. Sun Manzhu led Jiang Dong from the Jiang family and Wang Teng from the Wang family in their bid. Other companies and families were also banding together to compete for this project...
If Ye Feng and their group, or any single one of them, tried to secure the project alone, it would be almost impossible, and the outcome would be for it to be snatched by others.
Therefore, the best approach was for Xiao Feifei to represent the Xiao family, Zhou Lingyu to represent the Zhou family, and Ye Feng to represent Haichen Company, with all three joining forces.
Only then would they have a chance to secure the project.
However, she had been waiting for a long time and still hadn't seen Ye Feng, making her anxious.
Just then, Zhou Lingyu noticed Sun Manzhu approaching with Jiang Dong and Wang Teng.
When the three of them saw Zhou Lingyu standing at the entrance, they flashed a strange smile and said, "Oh, isn't this Miss Zhou? Are you waiting for someone?"
Zhou Lingyu wasn't particularly fond of Sun Manzhu, so she shook her head and replied, "No, it's too stuffy inside, I just came out for some fresh air!"
"Oh! I see! But I wanted to say, if you're waiting for Ye Feng and Xiao Feifei, you might as well give up!" Sun Manzhu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhou Lingyu quickly asked, "Why?"
"Tsk tsk, you just said you weren't waiting for anyone!" Sun Manzhu chuckled.
Zhou Lingyu didn't respond to her comment but continued to ask, "What did you mean just now? What do you mean I shouldn't wait?"
"It means nothing! I just want to tell you, they won't be coming..."
