Chapter 354: The Newly Emerging Group

The five individuals, whose heads had been severed, were still trembling irregularly on the grass, and although their heads were gone, their bodies remained alive for a short time.

Seeing this scene, Black Hawk felt a chill in his heart at Lin Zifeng’s killing skills. It had only been two years since they had last seen each other, but now, the strength of his big brother was simply unfathomable... To know that in such a short period of time he had slaughtered five Fusang experts was horrifying enough. To string their heads together was undoubtedly a bit...

Thinking of this, Black Hawk didn’t dare to think further and quickly walked up to him, asking softly, ”Big brother, what should I do next?”

Lin Zifeng pulled a white cloth from his pocket and slowly wiped his hands, squinting his eyes and said indifferently, ”I don’t think we need to handle things from here on out. I expect the Huaxia police will handle it better than I could.”

”I’m just worried that the people of Heavenly Gate will find us sooner or later. Now we are really too weak on our own. Should we seek the help of Huaxia officials?” Thinking about what the Fusang expert had said earlier, Black Hawk was still worried. After all, he and Lin Zifeng were still alive, and their former organization wouldn’t just let them go. Sooner or later, their whereabouts would definitely be exposed. It probably wouldn’t be long before the people from Heavenly Gate would come knocking.

”What’s meant to come will eventually come,” sighed Lin Zifeng, bowing his head and gazing thoughtfully at the night sky.

A pair of deep and cold eyes seemed to see through the future, everything was under his control...

This time, the night raid by the Fusang experts on Qiao Hongtian’s mansion stirred quite a storm in Zhonghai City. Under Lin Zifeng’s instigation, Qiao Hongtian’s notoriety became well-known throughout the area. Under intense public opinion, the Huaxia police were eventually forced to issue a first-level alert, demanding that all hiding spots of the Fusang people within Huaxia be eradicated. This narcotics sweep lasted a good half month, leading to the capture of a large number of Fusang top brass under the Thunderbolt tactics of the Huaxia Guild.

During this period, Lin Zifeng was not idle either, still secretly investigating the incident of Nangong Bing being kidnapped that night.

One recent evening, as planned by Lin Zifeng, Black Hawk had been waiting by the river for two days and two nights. When Lin Zifeng had slain the young Onmyoji, he had anticipated that they would return. Little did he expect that this wait would last a whole week,

Fortunately, Lin Zifeng’s prior arrangement matched perfectly with timing. That night, hundreds of Fusang martial artists arrived and, under Lin Zifeng’s scheme, were all slaughtered by the riverbank. The bodies piled up like a mountain, and the blood turned the entire river a blood-red color. By the time the police discovered their bodies,

The bodies of several hundred individuals had decayed beyond recognition, eaten by maggots, making them grotesque. This incident was also shifted onto Huaxia officials. Unexpectedly,

The Huaxia officials actually labeled these hundreds of individuals as foreign narcotics smugglers. Anyway, it wasn’t the Huaxia people who died, so the impact on public opinion wasn’t too great. Eventually, it was dismissed and forgotten.

That day, casually buying some breakfast and getting ready for work, Lin Zifeng received another call from Su Ni on his mobile phone, asking him to go shopping with her. He outright refused, resolving never to shop with women again, as shopping was simply a form of torture. The time he went shopping with Nangong Bing was still fresh in his memory.

He wondered what had gotten into Su Ni lately, constantly inviting him out. Could she have taken a liking to him?

Lin Zifeng sighed inwardly.

”Lin Zifeng, the president is looking for you.”

Just as he entered the finance office, Zheng Xiaofang, twisting her hips, knocked on his office door.

”The president is looking for me? What for?” Lin Zifeng was rather puzzled. They lived together every day; what could they possibly have left unsaid that had to be discussed in the office?

”I don’t know about that. You’d better go see for yourself. Oh! By the way, lately the Commercial Trade Department has been repeatedly applying for funding from our Finance Department. You might as well report this to President Nangong on the way. The amount is too large for us to handle on our own; see what President Nangong has to say about it.” It seemed that Zheng Xiaofang remembered the frequent funding requests from the Commercial Trade Department to the Finance Department recently and opportunely used Lin Zifeng’s relationship with Nangong Bing to ask for a small favor.

”Isn’t Director Zhang usually in charge of funding applications for the Commercial Trade Department?” Lin Zifeng scratched his head, unable to understand why the company’s operations were becoming increasingly chaotic.

”Director Zhang has been taking leave frequently; we haven’t seen her for several days. Her phone is also unreachable. The funding from the Commercial Trade Department is too significant, and we minor employees can’t make that decision. I’ll have to trouble you with this,” said Zheng Xiaofang meaningfully.

”Sister Fang, why do I always feel like you’re setting me up? How come both good and bad things end up being my responsibility?” Lin Zifeng joked with a laugh.

”Yo, Little Lin, who doesn’t know about your relationship with President Nangong now? Don’t play dumb. Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with President Nangong?” Zheng Xiaofang put down the document, casting a coquettish smile, her sultry office lady outfit revealing fair, seductive legs that were undoubtedly a weapon against men. The higher one’s gaze travelled, the more it spurred wild thoughts...

Especially with her V-neckline; just the sight of her exposed fair skin was enough to capture one’s lingering gaze. No wonder everyone says that beauties are found in offices; apparently, that’s not just an unfounded rumor.

”Heh, Sister Fang, you truly are the veteran beauty of our finance department. You’ve seen right through me,” replied Lin Zifeng, chuckling.

”Hmph, stop the flattery. Just tell me, what exactly is your relationship with President Nangong?” Zheng Xiaofang lifted her head proudly, feeling somewhat smug inside.

”What if I told you President Nangong is my wife? Would you believe me?” Lin Zifeng asked seriously.

”Cut it out! Stop daydreaming. I might as well say Bill Gates is my uncle.” Clearly, Lin Zifeng’s candid confession didn’t sit well with Zheng Xiaofang; she wouldn’t believe he had such a bizarre relationship with Nangong Bing, not for a second.

”Uh... I knew you wouldn’t believe it, Sister Fang.”

”Forget it. I’m so busy dealing with the Trade Department that I’m almost dead, no time for idle chat. Let’s have lunch together if you’re free, but don’t forget what you just said when you see President Nangong later.” Saying this, Zheng Xiaofang, burdened with a stack of documents, quickly left. Under the urging of the Trade Department, she even stole a brief moment to chat with Lin Zifeng, something she wouldn’t bother doing with another man.

He didn’t stay long in the office since Zhang Xixi was away these days and, as her assistant, he still had some responsibilities to uphold.

Though his role in the Finance Department was just for show, living a slack life, he still needed to feign diligence in his primary duties.

After finishing a cup of tea, Lin Zifeng, highly reluctant, took the funding application submitted by the Trade Department to the Finance Department yesterday and headed to Nangong Bing’s office.

After knocking several times and hearing no response, Lin Zifeng felt they were familiar enough that Nangong Bing wouldn’t mind. So, after three knocks, he strode into Nangong Bing’s office. Just as he pushed open the door, he saw Nangong Bing standing with rows of dejected senior company staff. As Lin Zifeng entered without knocking, everyone’s gaze turned to him.

Just as she was holding a business meeting, Nangong Bing was abruptly interrupted by Lin Zifeng, and her beautiful eyes instantly turned cold.

Frowning, she said coldly, ”What are you doing here?”

Seeing the dozens of dejected faces, it seemed Nangong Bing had resumed her role as the executioner. Unfortunately for him, having shown up neither too early nor too late, but just at this time, he undoubtedly became a target.

”Um, this, that...” Lin Zifeng, holding a funding request form, was somewhat at a loss for words under the scrutiny of dozens of eyes.

”Out!”

Nangong Bing snapped angrily.

The cold, imposing air of the Queen immediately made itself felt, showing no consideration for Lin Zifeng’s feelings as she treated him with cold indifference.

”Well, I came to deliver...”

”I told you to get out! Can’t you understand Mandarin?” Nangong Bing’s beautiful face turned stern again, not a trace of warmth in her gaze, giving Lin Zifeng the feeling that this businesswoman completely changed once she was in the company.

”Alright then, just pretend I came here to make up the numbers,” Lin Zifeng shook his head, set down the funding document, and turned to leave with a cold expression.

Nangong Bing did not stop him but let someone close the doors and resumed her ’business meeting.’

By the time the meeting was over, half of the people wore dejected, grief-stricken expressions, indicating that several of them had likely been fired by the boss.

With her executioner-like approach, she truly stirred a storm within the company. Tianyu Group’s ability to stand strong today, growing so significantly within just a year, was entirely due to Nangong Bing’s thunderous methods. Under her father’s former management style, Tianyu would probably have been taken over by now.

Recently, several new groups have risen in Zhonghai City, expanding fiercely within a week, swallowing up many of Tianyu Group’s smaller subsidiaries and partners. In just a few days, Tianyu’s stock declined sharply, shedding several points in the stock market in a single day, which made the workaholic Nangong Bing start auditing immediately. This audit revealed those high-ranking officials holding secure positions; under Nangong Bing’s ironclad grasp, none spared from this storm if found corrupt.

This led to today’s layoffs.

Leaning on the rosewood desk, Nangong Bing seemed truly weary these days.

Looking at the pile of documents covering her desk, she felt her head throb repeatedly.

How wonderful it would be if there was a man by her side to support and shield her at critical moments, to lean on when she was exhausted. Unfortunately, that man had not appeared for a very, very long time...
