Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 420: The Cat and Mouse Game (2)

Wang Xiaoming, sitting next to Jin Dashun, was in a much more relaxed state of mind. He had always believed that the legends surrounding Ye Fei were nothing more than fabrications by the people of Wang Hai City.

Having once played the role of a gang leader, he always thought that the so-called underworld in Longguo was nothing but a bunch of petty thugs, lacking the courage to kill.

So, even though he had guessed that this was Lingyun Societyʼs territory, he wasnʼt particularly worried. He figured that at worst, the Lingyun Society would detain him for a few days and then release him out of respect for his godfather, who had connections all over Longguo.

As the two men were lost in their own thoughts, they suddenly heard the door to the basement creak open. In strode Ye Fei with purposeful strides.

Jin Dashun was taken aback to see Ye Fei. He had half-expected Ye Fei to come and settle the score personally for what he had done to Ye Siyao. But seeing Qiu Feng instead, he felt a glimmer of hope.

Despite past conflicts, Qiu Feng seemed like someone who could be reasoned with. So, Jin Dashun quickly pleaded, ”Brother Qiu Feng, youʼre here! Please let us out.”

Ye Fei couldnʼt help but feel exasperated at Jin Dashunʼs naivety. He asked, ”Have you already forgotten what you did?”

”Well, this...” Jin Dashunʼs face turned stiff, but he tried to rationalize, ”I know what I did was wrong, but in a way, it was a bad intention with a good outcome, right? I didnʼt gain anything, and it made you happy.”

”So, youʼre saying I should thank you?” Ye Fei asked with a cold sneer.

Even Jin Dashun, no matter how foolish, realized that Ye Fei wasnʼt going to let him off the hook. He shrank back in fear and dared not say another word. But Wang Xiaoming, who had been listening, suddenly spoke up, ”May I ask for your real name, brother? Whatʼs your position in the Lingyun Society?”

”Hmm?” Ye Fei looked at Wang Xiaoming with interest. ”Why do you ask?”

Wang Xiaoming smiled faintly. ”If Iʼm not mistaken, this is the headquarters of the Lingyun Society. You can move around here freely, so you must be someone important. Yet, no one has ever heard of the name Qiu Feng. So, you must have been using an alias, right?”

”Not bad, youʼre quite sharp,” Ye Fei said, his expression turning cold.

”But I canʼt stand people who think theyʼre clever. You were the one who came up with the idea of drugging her, werenʼt you?”

As Ye Fei spoke and began to walk towards him, Wang Xiaoming was startled. He knew full well the capabilities of the man in front of him. The few bodyguards who had woken up nearby were no match for Ye Fei. So, he quickly said, ”Wait, I want to see your boss, Ye Fei!”

Ye Fei just wanted to intimidate Wang Xiaoming. In his mind, this cunning guy was even more repulsive than Jin Dashun. Killing him outright would be too merciful. So, he stopped and asked, ”Whatʼs the matter?”

Seeing that his ploy worked, Wang Xiaoming felt a surge of relief. ”I have something very important to discuss with him. It will definitely be to his advantage.”

”What is it? Go ahead,” Ye Fei said indifferently.

”You should call him over. Even if I tell you now, you probably canʼt make the final decision,” Wang Xiaoming insisted on seeing Ye Fei. He knew that the man in front of him, who had used the alias Qiu Feng, harbored a strong dislike for him.

The proposal he had in mind would benefit Ye Fei, but this guy might not pass it on.

But if Ye Fei were here, it would be different. Although he had intended to harm Ye Feiʼs sister, he hadnʼt succeeded. He believed that as the leader of a gang, Ye Fei would prioritize benefits.

”Why do you think I canʼt make the decision?” Ye Fei asked with a faint smile.

Wang Xiaoming was taken aback by Ye Feiʼs identity. He knew a bit about the underworld. Although the so-called gangs in Longguo werenʼt very powerful, they had strict rules.

As a subordinate, even if he was Ye Feiʼs sisterʼs lover, he shouldnʼt be able to claim authority so casually. So, Ye Feiʼs identity seemed somewhat mysterious.

”Who are you exactly?” Wang Xiaoming asked again after pondering.

Ye Fei smiled and said, ”Youʼre pretty good at guessing, arenʼt you? Take another guess.”

Wang Xiaomingʼs brow furrowed as he looked at Ye Feiʼs overly youthful face. Suddenly, he was struck by a realization and said in disbelief, ”Youʼre Ye Fei?”

Ye Fei clapped his hands and laughed, ”I didnʼt expect you to guess it. It seems like they wasted your talent by letting you act in movies. You should be a fortune teller on the street instead.”

Wang Xiaomingʼs face changed as he was about to say something, but then he heard a soft thud.

Turning his head, he saw Jin Dashun lying on the ground, apparently paralyzed with fear after realizing that the man in front of him was Ye Fei. Wang Xiaoming inwardly despised him.

Ignoring the stunned Jin Dashun, Ye Fei looked at Wang Xiaoming and said, ”You said you had something to discuss with me. Go ahead.”

After realizing that Qiu Feng was actually Ye Fei, Wang Xiaoming felt more at ease. He knew that gang leaders and corporate executives were always driven by profit. He believed that once Ye Fei heard his proposal, he wouldnʼt harm him. So, he said, ”I heard youʼre planning to start an entertainment company. If you can let bygones be bygones about todayʼs incident, I can join your company.”

Wang Xiaomingʼs thinking was not wrong at all. This was indeed a common flaw among those families that prioritized profit. Some families could even sacrifice their own women for the sake of profit. However, he was dealing with Ye Fei.

Not only had Ye Fei never considered letting such a guy, who only knew how to show off and relied on hype to become famous, into his company, but even if there were huge profits at stake, Ye Fei would never let go of someone who had tried to harm his beloved sister.

”Oh, join my company?” Ye Feiʼs expression was half-smiling, half-sarcastic. ”So my company can be renamed Scum Entertainment, right?”

”What do you mean?” Ye Feiʼs words changed Wang Xiaomingʼs expression. Although he had little dignity left after climbing up through crooked means, being called a scum to his face by Ye Fei still made him angry.

Of course, the reason Wang Xiaoming dared to get angry was that he believed Ye Fei wouldnʼt dare to do anything to him.

Not to mention whether a gang leader had the courage to kill, his godfather alone would make Ye Fei think twice. So, even though he was brought here, Wang Xiaoming wasnʼt too scared.

”Oh, Iʼm sorry. I shouldnʼt have used the word scum to describe you,” Ye Fei said with a faint smile. ”Thatʼs too insulting to the word.”

”You...” Wang Xiaoming was so angry that he wanted to fight Ye Fei on the spot, but he immediately remembered Ye Feiʼs extraordinary skills. His body, which had just stood up, sat back down.

At this moment, Jin Dashun, who had been stunned after realizing that Qiu Feng was Ye Fei, came to his senses. He suddenly crawled over from the ground, grabbed Ye Feiʼs leg, and pleaded, ”Boss Ye, please give me a chance to live. What I did before was all instigated by Wang Xiaoming. And I did help you indirectly...”

He suddenly stopped, realizing that Ye Siyao was Ye Feiʼs own sister. So, what about them?

Ye Feiʼs face showed a smile.

”Youʼre right. I should thank you. If it werenʼt for your drink, my sister might have hesitated for a long time. So, to thank you for your help, Iʼve decided to help you!”

”How?” Jin Dashun asked, dazed.

”Youʼre not a bad person at heart. You just lack brains and have a habit of thinking with your lower body. Now, Iʼll help you get rid of that thing thatʼs replaced your brain.

From now on, you can use your brain to think.” Ye Fei said with a faint smile.

Suddenly, he kicked Jin Dashun, making him fall backward onto the ground. Then, he raised his right foot and stomped hard on Jin Dashunʼs crotch.

”Aaaah...” Jin Dashun let out an earth-shattering scream. His body arched violently, his eyes bulged, and even Wang Xiaoming, who was nearby, could hear the sound of something breaking. His facial muscles twitched along with Jin Dashunʼs scream.

Ye Feiʼs expression remained calm. He smiled faintly and said, ”There, thatʼs better. Remember to use your brain more in the future. Maybe thereʼs still hope for you.” With that, he clapped his hands gently.
