Chapter 198: Chapter 201 Treacherous Treatment

Chapter 201: The Treatment of Being Undermined

Nangong Bing didn’t stay a moment longer, and according to Lin Zifeng’s suggestion, the two packed their bags and quickly returned to Zhonghai City two days later. During these two days, the entire Dragon City underwent earth-shattering changes. If it weren’t for the fast escape of Nangong Bing and Lin Zifeng, it was estimated that they would both have had a hard time leaving Dragon City. Sun Ziliang’s death had caused a huge commotion throughout Dragon City.

It was said that Sun Ziliang’s wife was the daughter of an old general. Sun Ziliang and his son’s deaths nearly drove this extremely strong-willed woman to madness, as she was determined to find the murderer at any cost. Unfortunately, during the investigation, Xiang Shaotao not only failed to help her but also obstructed the progress, leading to a deadlock in the case. Moreover, Xiang Shaotao found a number of scapegoats. In Dragon City, Xiang Shaotao could almost command wind and rain, and with generous bribes, he indeed made many connections.

But at the same time, he also offended many business tycoons and at the cost of his own life, he really went all out. Who knows himself! One mistake that upset the man in the bronze mask could bring trouble upon him again. Remembering the injuries he had suffered a few days ago, Xiang Shaotao definitely did not want to endure such pain again...

Early in the morning, when Nangong Bing picked up the country’s latest morning paper, her pretty, delicate face looked somewhat moved.

The headline on the newspaper, written in black and white, clearly reported the shocking news that the prospective successors of the Sun family in Dragon City from two generations had been killed simultaneously!

This news instantly caused a complete sensation in the entire Dragon City, even shocking Nangong Bing. She hadn’t expected that the man in the bronze mask would kill both father and son. She initially thought that the man in the bronze mask was only going to give Sun Tianyang a slight punishment, but he had seemingly exterminated them both.

”Eh! Boss, you’re up so early?”

Just awakened from upstairs, Lin Zifeng found Nangong Bing with a strange expression, sitting in front of the writing desk, engrossed in the morning paper and zoning out.

Nangong Bing gave him a white look without good humor, then continued to calmly look at the morning paper in her hands, utterly ignoring Lin Zifeng as if he was thin air. It seemed she was still angry with Lin Zifeng.

However, deep down, Nangong Bing still had to thank him. If it wasn’t for his prior warning, Nangong Bing would indeed have been quite frightened.

Otherwise, the death of Sun Ziliang would have definitely involved her in the affair.

The two remained silent, enjoying a breakfast that was gleefully animated. Now, in the huge villa, it was just the two of them. Hua Buqi and Nangong Shui had both left two days ago, and to elevate the relationship between the two, Nangong Shui, that old fellow, was really bizarre.

He had actually fired all the Filipino maids in the villa and even took away all the sports cars from Nangong Bing’s garage, all to trigger some change in the relationship between them. The more he did this, the more Nangong Bing despised Lin Zifeng.

Lin Zifeng found it quite annoying, too. If he wanted to sneak out and drive Nangong Bing’s sports cars in the future, it really wasn’t going to happen.

Now, in the garage, aside from a Lamborghini, even a bicycle had become a luxury.

The old man was too harsh; couldn’t he come up with anything better than these century-old tactics?

Looking at Lin Zifeng across from her, leisurely smoking a cigarette, Nangong Bing felt inexplicably angry.

If it weren’t for his presence, would she have to live so pitifully, Xixi?

If it weren’t for his appearance, would she really need to be in such dire straits? But how would she know that without Lin Zifeng’s existence, she would have died over and over again. Not to mention now sitting inside a villa, sipping coffee and eating a delicious breakfast.

”Hey, are you free later?”

Nangong Bing rarely took the initiative to speak to Lin Zifeng.

”What’s up?”

Lin Zifeng was comfortably puffing on a cigarette, with legs crossed, quietly watching a melodramatic TV show alone. But really, the melodramatic shows these days are quite moving, especially the scenes where a pair of brothers fought in the resistance against the Japanese. Those images, that plot, it really dredged up some unspeakable past for Lin Zifeng.

Ha! What a joke. Can’t a person accompany this lady for a leisure stroll when there’s nothing else to do? And considering I’m a beauty of this caliber, being with me is a blessing you’ve cultivated in a lifetime. Even if others are willing to accompany me, they’d still have to wait on this lady’s mood.

Nangong Bing tilted her neck, feeling this beast was some kind of anomaly, even the kind of detestable anomaly that had no taste whatsoever.

”This afternoon, accompany me to the Trading Building for shopping, and by the way, act as my porter,” Nangong Bing said, too lazy to even lift her head, her attitude lofty and her tone carried an unbearable air of arrogance.

As if being named as her porter was an incredibly impressive matter. If it were the Lin Zifeng of the past, he would have outright refused, but now his target was entirely Nangong Bing, what a tragic affair. Just thinking about it made Lin Zifeng feel that the world was too dull, might as well take a knife to his throat.

”Not going,” Lin Zifeng continued, grinning widely while watching the comical scene on TV, completely absorbed, treating Nangong Bing’s words as if they were mere bubbles of air.

”Hm?!” Nangong Bing, who was engrossed in reading the morning paper, raised her eyebrows and her face soured slightly, a flash of cold light in her eyes, she coldly asked, ”Don’t you have something important to do this afternoon?”

”No.”

Lin Zifeng was still the same old, eyes gleaming while staring at the TV, completely ignoring Nangong Bing, as if she didn’t exist at all.

”Mr. Lin, I’m not paying you just to watch TV, drink tea, and smoke your days away; as an employee, you should be demonstrating all your worth, don’t you forget. I’m your immediate superior, you must follow my orders in everything, including all your time right now,” she asserted.

Nangong Bing’s tone was aggressive, displaying the hue of a vehement office persona spilling relentlessly, much like a stern businesswoman making her decision—it seemed if Lin Zifeng didn’t comply, he might be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell the very next moment.

”Oh, come on, boss, you can’t be this oppressive, can you? You’re totally emanating those old feudal thoughts! Even though I, Lin Zifeng, am now part of the Tianyu Group, my soul still belongs to me. Even if you want to utilize all my time, you can’t change my spiritual free will. Where in the world is there a boss like you? Us workers have to have some freedom of our own, can’t possibly be on-call 24/7, that’s unscientific, you know!”

Seeing his extremely annoying face and tough talk, Nangong Bing felt the urge to pick up her high heel and smack it across his mouth...

Only by exercising extreme patience was she able to calm herself and soften her tone and smile slightly, asking through gritted teeth, ”Then Mr. Lin, what would it take to honor us with your presence?”
