A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.

That nonsensical text message was like a needle, piercing Ye Feng's heart.

This person knew about his impending doom and even said, "Dongyang is about to change its ways." It couldn't possibly be an ordinary prank. Only one person in the whole world could have come up with such a statement.

Zhao Hui!

Sure enough, within a few days, a considerable stir was stirred up in the business community of Dongyang.

A colossal entity called Tianheng entered quietly and imperceptibly.

"Tianheng Capital." Lin Yuqing slammed a thick document on the table, her expression grave. "They just set up a branch in Dongyang half a month ago, and then made a big move—not only did they acquire that prime location in the east of the city in one fell swoop, but they also invested in several local pillar enterprises. They came quickly and aggressively, they're really deep and powerful!"

"Have you figured out Tianheng's situation?" Ye Feng asked.

"I've figured it out. This time, Mr. Zhou really did me a favor." Lin Yuqing shook her head, a hint of apprehension in her expression. "But we've only caught half the fish. On the surface, Tianheng is a conglomerate headquartered overseas, involved in finance, real estate, pharmaceuticals, and many other fields. Not only is its wealth terrifying, but more importantly, it seems flawless. However, upon closer investigation, the threads disappear after each layer of shareholding, as if someone has suddenly plucked them out!"

"Even Zhou's husband doesn't know?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. You know, no matter how many layers the Zhao family's handkerchief was hidden, Zhou's husband could still wipe it clean in half an hour.

"Yes." Lin Yuqing's expression was solemn: "My husband Zhou told me that this is the first time he's seen someone who has hidden their foundation so well all these years, and he didn't dare say the guy's name, but told me to be extremely careful!"

Ye Feng's gaze grew increasingly cold.

"The timing of its entry into Dongyang is too coincidental," Lin Yuqing continued.

"How so?"

"They entered Dongyang precisely when the Li family collapsed. The four major families of Dongyang—Li Mie, Qin Shang, and Zhao Suo—were all leaderless at that time," Lin Yuqing said, enunciating each word clearly. "So it was a period of leaderlessness, a time of power vacuum. Tianheng's appearance at this time clearly showed they had their eyes on this lucrative territory and wanted to seize the opportunity to devour the lifeblood of Dongyang!"

Ye Feng's eyes had turned cold.

He recalled Zhao Hui's words: "The network behind me is older than your sect," and that text message: "Dongyang is about to change."

"This Tianheng," Ye Feng said, "is most likely the person behind Zhao Hui, his primary, overt henchman in Dongyang!"

Just then, Lin Yuqing's phone rang. She answered it and listened to several sentences, her delicate brows furrowing more and more. Finally, she hung up the phone, her expression turning sour.

"Something's happened at the health and wellness center," she said. "Tianheng has his eyes on our land."

The land that Linzhu Health and Wellness Center initially sought was only separated from the prime land that Tianheng recently acquired by a wall.

Tianheng said that he would "develop" the area as a whole and offered an extremely high price to "acquire" the land of Lin Zhu's health and wellness center. He called it an acquisition, but in reality, it was a takeover.

If Lin Zhu doesn't sell, then build a bigger, taller, and more powerful similar project across the street. Its funding, talent, and customers will completely crush Lin Zhu's unfinished health and wellness center!

Moreover, they need to rely on Tianheng's powerful background, which allows them to spend money and wait for the right time; while Lin Zhu's health and wellness center is the first big stone thrown out by the two alliances, which has far-reaching consequences. If this is destroyed, the Lin Zhu alliance will suffer a great loss of prestige!

"What a powerful phrase, 'Mount Tai pressing down'!" Ye Feng squinted, rustling a document as he read it. "No underhanded tactics, no drugging, no hiring thugs, no spreading rumors—just a direct confrontation, using money and sheer force to crush you. That's far more sophisticated and domineering than those lowlifes like the Zhao and Li families!"

"Yes." Lin Yuqing rubbed her temples. "Those underhanded tricks from the Zhao and Li families, even if they're a bit vicious, you can still find a way to catch them red-handed and get back at them. But Tianheng is just straightforward. Even if you're sick, it's richer and angrier than you, so you can't find fault with it. It's not wrong at all."

Now that's a real formidable opponent!

"Are we... up to it?" For the first time, Lin Yuqing felt a little uncertain in front of an opponent. The Tianheng family had superior physiques; even if Lin and Zhu families were combined, they couldn't compare!

It's a tough battle, I can't do it myself.

"A head-on collision? We definitely can't win." Ye Feng wasn't flustered at all. He leaned back in his chair, a sly smile even appearing on his lips. "But in the business world, size doesn't guarantee victory. The bigger you are, the wider your territory, the more loopholes you have."

"Besides..." He squinted his eyes again: "Tianheng came to Dongyang so openly just because he had his eye on a piece of land or a small project here? No, that's not right. What he's after is the whole of Dongyang after the Li family falls. The health and wellness center is just an easy target for him."

"So that means..." Lin Yuqing's eyes lit up, "His fatal flaw isn't this terrain, but rather that he's not yet firmly established himself in the field?!"

"You're a promising young woman!" Ye Feng looked at her approvingly. "A tiger that has just arrived in Dongyang is most afraid of not being able to fight head-on, but rather of not being able to adapt to the local environment. He has no foundation in Dongyang and doesn't understand the terrain. This is where we'll make our move."

Lin Yuqing's uncertainty over the past few days was largely dispelled by his few words.

After he finished speaking, the old butler outside hurriedly came into the room, looking rather unwell.

"Mr. Ye, President Lin—someone has arrived, a guest. He said he is…"

The old butler leaned closer and whispered, "She's someone important. She's the female CEO of Tianheng Capital, from Dongyang."

Ye Feng and Lin Yuqing exchanged a glance, their faces showing confusion.

The moment Tianheng's people delivered that domineering acquisition letter, the next second, Tianheng's female CEO personally came to their door to "seek medical advice."

What kind of opera is being performed?

"Her surname is Su?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Yes, just the character 'Man' in her name, Mr. Ye. This President Su is no pushover. She's a well-known iron lady in Tianheng, ruthless and decisive. She's the mastermind behind the companies in Dongyang that Tianheng has crushed so many times!" the old butler replied.

"A decisive and ruthless iron lady, not only launched a takeover battle, but also came all the way to us for a medical consultation..."

Ye Feng stroked his chin, a hint of amusement on his face.

"Boss Lin, do you think she's setting a trap, or is she really here for medical treatment?"

Lin Yuqing also frowned and began to ponder.

"Regardless—since they've been coming so frequently, this is a good opportunity to thoroughly investigate the situation behind Tianheng."

Ye Feng stood up, grinned, and said, "Let's go, let's meet the female CEO of Tianheng, and see what kind of knife this is that was used to cut Lin Zhu's neck."

As he spoke, he walked out, but unexpectedly, Su Man, who came uninvited, became an unexpected pawn in the whole play in a short period of time.
