The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 174: Chapter 172: Accountability

Wan Tianhua nodded and said, ”Indeed, I’ve heard this guy lives off the Lin Family without lifting a finger, claiming he’s a Martial Arts master. Since he’s been with the Lin Family, he hasn’t done a single good thing for them. Chairman Wu, you definitely shouldn’t pay any attention to him. How could he possibly come up with a billion?”

”Right, a freeloader and a rough martial artist, how could he possibly come up with so much money?”

”I just can’t believe Ye Feng’s tactics are that clever, to have swindled so much money from Lin Shiyu, even producing a billion at this point. Isn’t he just shamelessly trying to save face, humiliating himself even more by being exposed by us?”

The crowd looked at Ye Feng with disdain, utterly convinced that Ye Feng couldn’t possibly produce the enormous sum of a billion.

Ye Feng shook his head lightly, looking at Chairman Wu with a calm expression that struck a familiar chord with the chairman, making him feel as though he was facing a towering mountain.

That invisible, terrifying presence thoroughly suppressed Chairman Wu, making even breathing difficult as his previously vague memories became increasingly clear.

Ye Feng looked at Chairman Wu and spoke lightly, ”Wu Tianfang, right? You tell them, can I bring out the money or not?”

That calm tone suddenly jolted Chairman Wu’s heart, electrifying him as his memories became clear, his eyes showing a look of reverence.

He recalled that two years ago, Wu Tianfang had attended an important gathering in Longdu, where individuals powerful enough to shake a region with a stomp had gathered.

Even the top tycoons of Longdu had to submit humbly before a young man in his twenties.

Wu Tianfang now fully remembered that the young man was Ye Feng.

Wan Tianhua scornfully looked at Ye Feng, ”Ye Feng, don’t be arrogant. Do you think you’re something special just because you have a Grandmaster backing you? Let me tell you, Chairman Wu has seen more Grandmasters than the Martial Artists you’ve met. What are you to speak to Chairman Wu like that, kneel down immediately and apologize!”

”Right, what do you think you are, just a freeloading loser, daring to be disrespectful to Chairman Wu!”

”Exactly, apologize to Chairman Wu right now!” The surrounding people shouted loudly at Ye Feng.

Wan Tianhua’s arrogance intensified, ”Scum, did you hear that? Kneel down and apologize to Chairman Wu, or else our major companies in Lin Tian City will stop dealing with the Lin Group. Just you wait and regret it!”

”How dare you!” But just at that moment, Chairman Wu roared furiously. Although Chairman Wu was a regular person, the roar was so resounding that Wan Tianhua felt a stabbing pain in his ears.

”Smack!” Chairman Wu raised his hand and backhandedly slapped Wan Tianhua fiercely across the face.

Wan Tianhua was spun around several times by the slap from Chairman Wu, stars swirling in his eyes.

...

Afterward, everyone fell silent again, bewildered as they watched Chairman Wu, not understanding why he had slapped Wan Tianhua—it was the second time today that Wan Tianhua had been slapped in front of everyone.

At this moment, Wan Tianhua and his son Wan Yucheng both had their cheeks swollen from slaps.

Wan Tianhua felt incredibly aggrieved, completely unable to accept it, and looked at Chairman Wu to ask, ”Chairman Wu, why did you hit me?”

”You bastard! How dare you disrespect Mr. Ye? You rat, Mr. Ye is not someone you can judge, a mere billion is nothing but a laughably trivial amount to Mr. Ye!” Chairman Wu shouted loudly.

”Mr. Ye?” Everyone was stunned, utterly unprepared for Chairman Wu to address Ye Feng as Mr. Ye.

Chairman Wu hurriedly approached Ye Feng, his demeanor extremely respectful, ”Mr. Ye, I did not recognize you momentarily, please do not blame me.”

Ye Feng lightly shook his head, ”I’ve only met you once before, it’s not strange that you didn’t recognize me.”

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Chairman Wu was a figure who even the second-tier tycoons of Longdu had to show some respect, yet now he was so respectful and seemingly fearful in front of Ye Feng.

Chairman Wu became even more certain that Ye Feng was indeed the prominent figure he had met before in Longdu.

Wan Tianhua and Wan Yucheng felt an immense humiliation; today, Ye Feng had made the two of them endure a total of four slaps. They were influential figures in Lin Tian City—never had they suffered such great indignity, and they found it incredibly hard to accept, their eyes showing signs of madness.

But with Chairman Wu and Sheng Xingzi backing Ye Feng, they had no chance for revenge.

Chairman Wu looked at Ye Feng and said, ”Mr. Ye, since it’s you, I wouldn’t dare charge a high price of a billion. Here, take the Luminous Pearl for five hundred million. Since Miss Lin is your wife, she naturally qualifies to attend the summit.”

”Mm.” Ye Feng nodded lightly, then took out his top-tier black card from Dragon Country Bank.

Seeing Ye Feng’s special top-tier black card, Chairman Wu was astonished; it was his first time seeing such a card. After signing the contract, Ye Feng successfully made the payment, and the Luminous Pearl was theirs.

The crowd stared dumbly at Ye Feng, finding it hard to accept.

”Didn’t they say he was just a freeloader at the Lin family? How is a Martial Arts Grandmaster his follower, and why is even Chairman Wu so polite to him?” The crowd’s faces were filled with bewilderment and disbelief.

Ye Feng chuckled lightly, his face relaxed, not taking it to heart at all.

”Now, I have one more thing to say...” Ye Feng spoke at this moment.

The crowd looked at Ye Feng with curiosity as he said calmly, ”My wife’s bank card and checks are missing. Whoever took them, come forward now and return them to my wife. I won’t pursue it further—the offer stands only once. If you refuse to return them, I will break your hands!”
