On the second floor study, once Ning Fuxun led Lin Feng into the room, his previously irritable mood seemed to calm down instantly. He closed the door, sat on the sofa, lit a cigar, and looked up at Lin Feng, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Brother Ning, we’re all familiar people here; just say what you want to say directly!" Lin Feng naturally knew that Ning Fuxun was angry because of Ning Aoxue’s abduction... because he did not inform Ning Fuxun about the rescue until after Ning Aoxue was safe; it would be strange if Ning Fuxun wasn’t angry!
Ning Fuxun was amused by Lin Feng’s devil-may-care attitude and laughed, "Lin Feng, aren’t you afraid I’ll scold you? Or do you think you did nothing wrong? Don’t forget, you almost got my eldest daughter killed!"
Lin Feng did not deny Ning Fuxun’s accusation; the reason Jade Raksha kidnapped Ning Aoxue was indeed to target him, in other words, it was Lin Feng who brought trouble to Ning Aoxue!
"So what?" However, Lin Feng also didn’t show remorse. He looked at Ning Fuxun calmly and said with a smile, "I also rescued your precious daughter!"
"Hmph! Don’t act clever in front of me!" Ning Fuxun’s face darkened, and he spoke with a muffled voice, "If anything had really happened to Aoxue, I wouldn’t be speaking to you like this! An incident like this happens, and you even dare to hide it from me..."
Thinking about how Ning Aoxue almost got hurt, Ning Fuxun felt a fire burning in his heart. He could understand why Lin Feng chose to keep it a secret, yet he was still frustrated... But although Ning Fuxun was angry, he didn’t say anything too harsh.
"Who on earth is targeting my daughter?" Ning Fuxun furrowed his brows, glaring at Lin Feng as he asked, "Or in other words, who exactly did you offend? I want to see who dares to be so bold; I won’t spare them!"
Ning Fuxun’s question hit the nail on the head. With his resources, in the context of China, there were indeed many ways to settle personal grievances!
Lin Feng’s expression shifted slightly, and he said to Ning Fuxun with a bitter smile, "Brother Ning, calm down; I understand your feelings... but the enemy this time is not as simple as you think!"
"Then why don’t you tell me about it!" Ning Fuxun glared at Lin Feng, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"The Sky Slaughter Organization, have you heard of it?" Lin Feng smiled at Ning Fuxun and asked calmly.
"Tiansha..." Ning Fuxun’s expression changed instantly. As a businessman, he had indeed heard of this notorious group causing a stir in the Middle East, "Isn’t that the organization that’s been rampantly abducting hostages from various countries in the Middle East and demanding high ransoms?"
"Yes! That’s the Sky Slaughter Organization!" Lin Feng nodded. Kidnapping for ransom was just the basic operation of the Sky Slaughter Organization. Large-scale drug trafficking, sieges, plunders, contract killings, and even massacres were their main activities.
"How... how did you get involved with such a terrifying organization!" Ning Fuxun was genuinely scared. Though he considered himself well-versed in the world, he couldn’t help but feel a chill facing the terrifying Sky Slaughter Organization...
To Ning Fuxun, the compliment of having wealth comparable to a nation was just that—a compliment, but the Sky Slaughter Organization genuinely possessed the power to rival nations in the Middle East, with combat capabilities even stronger than ordinary small countries!
"It’s a long story..." Lin Feng said to Ning Fuxun with a bitter smile, "In short, I landed myself in this mess! And, anyone around me might be threatened. Now that Brother Ning knows the truth, whatever decision you make is up to you; I won’t blame you!"
Ning Fuxun understood Lin Feng’s implication. Lin Feng was hinting that if worried about retaliation from the Sky Slaughter Organization, he could distance himself from Lin Feng to avoid future trouble!
However, while such an action could ensure self-preservation, wasn’t that a bit unfaithful? Ning Fuxun took a puff of his cigar, glanced at Lin Feng, and asked in a deep voice, "And you, what are you planning to do?"
"What else can I do? Of course, I’ll stand my ground to the end..." Lin Feng said with a grin, "I can’t exactly offer my head for them to take, can I?"
"That’s a transnational terrorist organization. What are you going to fight them with?" Ning Fuxun looked at Lin Feng with a peculiar gaze, feeling somewhat bemused. Was this guy Lin Feng too naive?
"There’s no need for you to worry about that, Brother Ning! I have my aces up my sleeve..." Lin Feng replied cheerfully, but he didn’t explain further to Ning Fuxun.
Ning Fuxun, seeing Lin Feng’s confident demeanor, instinctively understood that Lin Feng probably wasn’t just bluffing; the kid must really have an ace... Yet, whenever he thought about Lin Feng’s opponent being a mysterious organization that even intimidates small countries, Ning Fuxun couldn’t help but sigh, "Alas... Lin Feng, you’re not married yet, so you don’t understand a parent’s mindset. It’s not that I don’t have confidence in you; it’s just that I’m genuinely worried about Aoxue’s safety!"
"I understand..." Lin Feng was already psychologically prepared, just waiting for Ning Fuxun to dissolve the contract protecting Ning Aoxue.
However, to Lin Feng’s surprise, Ning Fuxun didn’t mention dissolving the contract at all; he simply said calmly, "Lin Feng, remember, no matter what happens to Aoxue in the future, you must inform me in advance! You should know, in Jiangzhou, there are many areas where I can find ways that you might not be able to reach!"
"Uh..." Lin Feng looked at Ning Fuxun with a strange expression. This old man still wants me to protect Ning Aoxue; isn’t he afraid I’ll drag his precious daughter into this?
"Lin Feng... I understand what you’re thinking! You thought I’d abandon you?" Ning Fuxun, seeing Lin Feng’s expression, actually smiled and said, "Don’t forget, you haven’t just saved me once; how could I not trust you? Aoxue will still be in your care, and you must protect her well! I don’t think you’re foolish and should understand Aoxue’s feelings..."
At this point, Ning Fuxun’s expression seemed somewhat helpless.
"Heh..." Hearing Ning Fuxun mention Ning Aoxue’s feelings, Lin Feng could only manage a bitter smile, saying nothing.
"Let’s end the discussion here; no need to say more!" Ning Fuxun shook his head, extinguished the cigar in his hand, and casually asked, "Three months have passed, how’s the situation with the Hong Sect going? When will you fulfill what you promised me?"
Lin Feng had a betting agreement with Ning Fuxun; within a year, he had to elevate the status of the newly established Longfeng Martial Hall to become the leading center of the Hong Sect and also see to the reformation of the Hong Sect, which is what Ning Fuxun was inquiring about.
"Soon..." Lin Feng said calmly, "The Longfeng Martial Hall is in a prime location with advanced facilities. The revenue for the past two months ranks among the top in the entire Thirteenth Hall of the Hong Sect, and starting next year, it can consistently hold the top position!"
Ning Fuxun shook his head, looked at Lin Feng, and said in a serious tone, "You know I’m not concerned about the revenue!"
