Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 236: Chapter 236: The King’s Return (33)

Qi Feng was entering the Sheng Family estate for the first time.

This family that had stood for a century had once been akin to the king of the underground world.

The mansion, after several generations of expansion, could only be described as monstrously large, and every item within had its own history.

Weathered by time, the estate possessed a sense of historical depth.

Qi Feng was invited into the largest building.

The interior was as warm as spring, with thick velvet carpets that extended from the entrance hall to the stairs, and even on the stairs themselves, feeling soft and tender beneath the feet.

“Mr. Qi, is there something wrong?” Gao Ping stood by, holding Qi Feng’s coat for him.

Qi Feng adjusted his glasses, “Is your young lady very susceptible to the cold?”

The whole floor was covered with velvet carpets.

These carpets looked quite valuable as well.

Gao Ping explained with a smile, “No, it’s because Mr. Jiang sometimes likes to walk around without shoes. That’s why the young lady had us lay them down.”

Mr. Jiang… Jiang Ye?

Qi Feng had also heard the recent rumors about Jiang Ye.

After falling out with Hei Jin, that young person had laid low for a while before abruptly soaring to great heights.

They say there’s someone backing her…

Qi Feng walked further in and caught sight of the person inside immediately.

Chuzheng was leaning casually on a sofa, her soft hair falling down, revealing only part of her attractive face.

With one hand flipping through a magazine, the European style furniture made her appear like a queen sitting in a royal court, aloof and noble.

“Miss Sheng.”

Chuzheng looked up and put down the magazine, “Please, have a seat.”

Qi Feng sat down opposite her. After Gao Ping carefully inquired about his dietary restrictions and preferences, he served tea and some pastries.

“Did Miss Sheng ask to see me for something?”

“Is Sirius trying to gather information about me?”

“…” Qi Feng took a sip of tea, “Yes.”

“Help me with something. Money is no issue.”

Qi Feng set down the tea cup and looked up at the girl opposite him.

Her dark eyes were calm, like the snow falling outside the window, silent and still, yet chilling to the bone.

She didn’t try to hide her indifference and distance, epitomizing the phrase ‘inhumanity’.

“Miss Sheng, I’m all ears.” He had come all this way; whose money he earned didn’t matter, and this one in front of him seemed more generous than most.

He felt that no matter how outrageous his price, she wouldn’t mind.

“Have Sheng Ting collaborate with Sirius.”

“???”

He remembered that she was not exactly on friendly terms with Sheng Ting or Sirius, right?

Why would she want to facilitate a collaboration between them?

Qi Feng voiced his doubts.

Chuzheng gave him an icy stare, and pondering for a moment, Qi Feng didn’t dare to pry further, but he asked for some details.

Sheng Ting had previously made contact with people from Sirius.

To bring about cooperation between them, Qi Feng thought, would be difficult, yet not impossible.

After all, Sheng Ting’s current situation in the country wasn’t very good.

Qi Feng made a great effort, running many errands, until finally, following Chuzheng’s instructions, he managed to establish cooperation between the two parties.

Afterward, Qi Feng received no further instructions from Chuzheng.

It was as though she was performing a good deed every day, wanting to rescue Sheng Ting from dire straits.

“Master Jiang, I found out from Qi Feng that the recent collaboration between Sheng Ting and Sirius was… facilitated by Miss Sheng.”

Jiang Ye’s gun-cleaning motion paused.

He lifted his gaze to watch the snowflakes dance in the sky.

His crisp voice acquired a touch of chill, “Why would Qi Feng tell you?”

Chen Jiu frowned, “I just made some inquiries, and Qi Feng revealed it willingly. Could it be because of Miss Sheng?”

Recently, Qi Feng would often pass on news to them, even occasionally helping them out when it wouldn’t get him into trouble.

“Master Jiang, I don’t know what your current relationship with Miss Sheng is. But Sheng Ting…”

Chen Jiu hesitated, not daring to continue.

“Speak,” Master Jiang said nonchalantly, continuing to clean his gun.

“Sheng Ting, after all, grew up with Miss Sheng. Before the Sheng Family experienced its troubles, Sheng Ting and Miss Sheng had a good relationship. If Sheng Ting reconciles with Miss Sheng, what about us…”

Chen Jiu’s analysis was from the perspective of an average person, without exaggeration or embellishment.

Jiang Ye finished listening to Chen Jiu’s analysis and silently cleaned his gun.

The gun he originally had was lost by Chuzheng, this one was given to him by Chuzheng.

It looked somewhat petite, but it was convenient to carry, and its range and power were both stronger than that of ordinary guns.

“Be careful during the operation tonight.”

Jiang Ye left after dropping that sentence.

Chen Jiu felt that Master Jiang was angry.

But it didn’t quite seem the same as when he normally got upset.

Unable to figure it out, he hurriedly went to arrange the evening’s affairs.

Sheng Ting’s cooperation with Sirius was quickly showing results.

Jiang Ye’s expression grew worse day by day, checking his phone over and over, opening it and putting it down again.

Once during a fight, he almost got hurt because of a text message.

And the message turned out to be just spam.

“To City Z.”

Jiang Ye strode outside.

Chen Jiu ran to keep up, “Master Jiang, aren’t you going to tell Miss Sheng?”

“Tell her what?” Jiang Ye’s demeanor was cold, “Why do I need to tell her where I’m going?”

Chen Jiu: “…”

–

Time flew by, and before long, summer arrived.

Qi Feng sent news that recently Sirius and Sheng Ting were collaborating on a fairly big business deal.

Chuzheng gave new instructions to Qi Feng.

Those instructions left Qi Feng at a loss for words.

He really misjudged her!!

He thought she wanted to help others, to give Sheng Ting a hand.

Turns out she wanted to push Sheng Ting into a fire pit, and then pour oil on the flames.

When there was trouble during the transaction between Sheng Ting and Sirius, and both sides were on the verge of conflict, the police suddenly appeared, catching them off guard.

This time the police came prepared, even knowing their escape routes.

Sheng Ting and Sirius suffered significant losses, and after this incident, they became sworn enemies.

The once improving situation of Sheng Ting instantly plunged to rock bottom.

It was even more severe than before.

Qi Feng didn’t know how Chuzheng had managed it; he hadn’t done much on his end, just provided some information.

But remembering Chuzheng’s wealthy and imposing manner, he figured she probably just threw money at the problem…

As long as the price was right, there were plenty of people willing to work for her.

“Master Jiang, this was delivered by someone from Miss Sheng,” Chen Jiu handed a USB drive to Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye had been in City Z the whole time, as if he wouldn’t return unless Chuzheng came to find him.

But only Chen Jiu knew that Master Jiang, held a photo of Miss Sheng every day, whether he cried or not was unknown, but he looked quite pitiable, like a little wife.

“What’s this?” Jiang Ye glanced at it, without taking it.

“I’m not sure, I haven’t looked at it.”

What if it was something he shouldn’t see… He might die if he looked!

Jiang Ye was silent for several minutes, then brought over his laptop, plugged in the USB drive, and opened it.

After seeing what was inside, Jiang Ye sat up straight.

Chen Jiu also received news and said with some surprise, “Master Jiang, Sheng Ting and Sirius have fallen out, and they were raided by the police.”

Jiang Ye closed the files on the desktop and handed the USB drive to Chen Jiu, “You decide what to do with it.”

Decide what?

What’s in here?

Seeing Jiang Ye hurry off, Chen Jiu quickly called out, “Where are you going, Master Jiang?”

“Going back to see my baby.”

Chen Jiu: “…” Who was it that refused to go back before?

And what kind of fairy-tale nickname is ‘baby’?

Could someone like Miss Sheng, exuding a queen’s aura, be called baby?

Chen Jiu silently went through the contents of the USB drive, which contained some of the more secret information from Sheng Ting, this…

Miss Sheng was planning to hand over all of Sheng Ting’s secrets to Master Jiang!
