Underworld: Starting with conquering countless lustful beauties

"Don't worry, the sky won't fall."

Looking out at the night sky, Chen Feng forced a casual laugh and said, "If the sand doesn't sell, will you support me?"

"What time is it and you're still being sarcastic!"

Hao Mei was a little angry, and her tone became urgent, "Chen Feng, I know you care about your reputation. But the Zhao family's power in Donghai is too great; you can't fight them. I... I can go to Zhao Tai."

"What do you want with him?" Chen Feng's voice turned cold.

"I'll go talk to him."

Hao Mei bit her lip. "After all, I know him. If I step in and mediate, maybe he'll be lenient..."

"no."

Chen Feng refused decisively, his tone resolute and leaving no room for negotiation, "Hao Mei, listen to me. This is a matter between men. I don't need a woman to stand up for me. Especially not to let you go and beg that scoundrel to succeed. I can't bear the shame!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Hao Mei seemed stunned by Chen Feng's domineering manner. After a long while, her soft voice finally came through:

"Chen Feng...why are you doing this? That's your life's work."

"You can earn more if you lose your hard work, but you can't fix a broken spine."

Chen Feng gripped the phone, his eyes resolute. "Trust me, I have a way to solve this. Go to sleep early, I'll come see you when I have time."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng let out a long sigh of relief.

The words are strong, but where is the solution?

He lit a new cigarette, his eyes gleaming in the darkness.

A head-on clash?

Compared to the Zhao family and Lei Hu, his current strength is like throwing an egg against a rock.

Playing dirty tricks?

Lei Xue has been kidnapped?

The thought flashed through Chen Feng's mind.

If we simply tie up Lei Xue and force Lei Hu to submit, it might solve our immediate problem.

But the consequences would be too severe, meaning that the South City and the North City would be at war, and it might even attract a severe crackdown from the police.

At that point, forget about clearing his name; he'll probably spend the rest of his life in jail.

Who else can break this deadlock?

Suddenly, a face that was both alluring and sharp-witted flashed into Chen Feng's mind—Bai Wei.

The pretty widow drinking alone at the moon-viewing party.

If they could unite with the remaining forces in the West District, they might be able to contend with Lei Hu.

No, no.

Chen Feng shook his head.

Collaborating with Bai Wei requires time, groundwork, and gradual development.

But what he lacks most right now is time.

In another two weeks, the battlefield will run out of food.

Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

After much thought, there was still only one way—to win over Lei Xue.

That naive, willful, and somewhat love-obsessed young lady.

"Do we really have to beg that little brat?"

Chen Feng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

The image of him being spanked while pinned to his lap flashed through Chen Feng's mind again, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

If I actually go, who knows how humiliated I'll be.

……

The next day, the Fenghua battlefield was deathly still.

The bustling scene of machines roaring and vehicles shuttling back and forth is gone, replaced by empty spaces and pervasive silence.

Several large yellow guard dogs lay listlessly on the ground, too lazy to even bark.

Inside the office, the air was so heavy it felt like it was about to drip water.

The monkey scratched his head, breaking the silence: "I've found out where Lei Xue is."

"explain."

"That girl goes to the 'Blues Cafe' in the city center every afternoon around four o'clock to have afternoon tea with her best friend Tangtang. Rain or shine, without fail."

The monkey grinned, "Brother Feng, your chance has come!"

Chen Feng didn't say anything, he just rubbed his temples.

At this moment, Dazhuang and Ergou also came over.

"Brother Feng, how about... you go over there?"

Da Zhuang tentatively said, "We're being suffocated by the blackout right now. If this continues, our business at the battlefield will be in jeopardy."

"That's right, Brother Feng!" Er Gou slapped his thigh. "Isn't Lei Xue just a little girl? With your methods, you'd easily win her over."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The monkey fanned the flames from the side, "Brother Feng, you're so handsome! Just standing there, wouldn't all the girls go weak in the knees? Use your flirting skills, and you'll have them all in no time!"

Even the usually composed Shen Zhou adjusted his glasses and said in a serious tone:

"Brother Chen, from a cost-benefit perspective, this is currently the solution with the highest return on investment. Although there are risks, it's worth a try."

Chen Feng glanced sideways at his brothers, who usually shouted for battle but were now pushing him into a fire pit one by one, and he was so angry that his teeth itched.

"Are you all trying to make a fool of myself?"

"How could that be!"

The three spoke in unison, their faces beaming with excitement, as if they were watching a spectacle with a sense of "the more the merrier."

Chen Feng remained silent for a moment, then finally let out a long sigh.

"Damn it... when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head."

He stood up, straightened his collar, and a resolute look of desperation flashed in his eyes.

"I'm going all in!"

"She's just a little brat! I refuse to believe I can't handle her!"

……

4 PM, Blues Cafe, downtown Donghai.

In the booth by the window, Lei Xue was fiercely poking at the ice cubes in her glass with a straw, making a "crackling" sound, as if she wanted to crush the anger in her heart along with it.

"Xuexue, what did that cup do to you?"

Sitting opposite her, Tangtang shook her head helplessly and put down the fashion magazine in her hand.

Today, Tang Tang wore a light yellow off-the-shoulder dress, showing off her delicate collarbones, fair skin, and long hair styled in big waves, exuding a lazy and charming aura.

She was a typical Jiangnan beauty, with a soft and gentle voice, but her eyes revealed shrewdness.

"I'm angry!"

Lei Xue pouted, looking annoyed. "That bastard hasn't made a move these past few days! The battlefield is about to go bankrupt, and he hasn't even come to beg for mercy!"

"Which bastard? Chen Feng?"

Tang Tang smiled, her eyes full of mockery, "Weren't you always hoping he'd go bankrupt? How come you're getting anxious now that he's about to close down?"

"I...I wanted to see him kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Lei Xue blushed and tried to defend herself, saying, "You have no idea how arrogant he was that day! He even hit me... there! I get so angry just thinking about it!"

"Yes, yes, you're the one who gets angry the most."

Tang Tang rested her chin on her hand, looking at her with a half-smile, "But to be honest, I've heard about it these past few days. Zhao Tai really went all out this time. If Chen Feng doesn't find a way to break this deadlock, he really won't be able to stay in Donghai. At that time, your wish to 'kneel down and sing Conquer' will probably be dashed."

Upon hearing this, Lei Xue paused in her actions, a strange sense of loss welling up inside her.

Is that arrogant and shameless man really going to be finished?

Suddenly, the glass door of the coffee shop was pushed open.

A tall figure walked in.

Sunlight streamed down from behind him, casting a long, slender shadow on the ground. His face was obscured by the backlighting, yet he exuded an undeniable aura.

Lei Xue subconsciously looked up, and her eyes met those of the person.

For a moment, she froze completely.

Chen Feng!

What the hell is that bastard doing here?!

Chen Feng was dressed simply today, in a white T-shirt and black casual pants, but his tall and upright figure, coupled with his angular face, still made many female customers in the coffee shop secretly glance at him and whisper among themselves.

He seemed to have spotted Lei Xue as well, a smirk that made one's teeth itch with hatred curling at the corner of his mouth, and walked directly toward them.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Lei? What a coincidence!"

Lei Xue instinctively covered her buttocks with her hands.

"What...what are you doing here!"

"Let's have some coffee."

Chen Feng looked innocent and said casually, "This is a public place, does that mean I can't come here?"
