Chapter 317: Arrival at Suhang

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Arrival at Suhang"I’m not quite sure, but apart from the enterprises from the same chamber of commerce, this economic summit also includes some enterprises from Jiangnan and the South. It wouldn’t look good if I didn’t attend. Moreover, given the current situation, the Ye Family needs to find some allies, or else we’ll be left isolated and helpless."

Ye Yaxin spoke in a somber tone.

"If that’s the case, I’ll accompany you tomorrow. Suhang is Qii Zhenghua’s stronghold, and under these circumstances, it wouldn’t be surprising if you encountered danger there," Xiao Yifeng said directly.

"Mm."

Ye Yaxin did not refuse Xiao Yifeng’s proposal. In fact, she wanted him to accompany her, which was why she had mentioned it; she just hadn’t been able to say it directly.

At some point, Ye Yaxin realized that having Xiao Yifeng by her side gave her a strong sense of security. It felt as though she didn’t need to fear anything with him around, which was a peculiar sensation.

What Ye Yaxin didn’t know was that Xiao Yifeng had taken root in her heart, beginning to grow and sprout. Her feelings towards him had shifted from initial coldness and resistance to a gradual dependency.

However, Ye Yaxin, the beautiful CEO, had not noticed this change in her own feelings.

At this moment, Xiao Yifeng returned to his room to prepare for his training, but then his phone rang.

"Young Master!"

The voice of Lei Bao came through on the other end of the phone.

"How did it go? Is the matter resolved?" Xiao Yifeng asked indifferently.

"Young Master, rest assured. The Black Serpent Mercenary Group is but a minor obstacle. I personally led people to raze their headquarters to the ground, and as per your orders, I didn’t leave a single survivor. They deserved death for daring to move against you," Lei Bao said coldly.

"Good. How is your training going? Have you been slacking off?" Xiao Yifeng asked.

"Young Master, you can be assured that we’ve all been diligent. I’ve now reached the peak of the Transformative Energy Stage, and both Kuang Shi and Leng Feng have just broken through to the Gang Qi Realm," Lei Bao replied.

"Damn, they’ve both broken through to the Gang Qi Realm?" Xiao Yifeng was somewhat astonished.

"That’s right. Don’t tell me you haven’t broken through yet? That would be quite embarrassing," Lei Bao said with a slightly teasing laugh.

"Get lost, even if I haven’t broken through, I can still wipe you all out. And your strength is still so lacking; if you don’t work harder to improve, you’ll end up at the bottom," Xiao Yifeng retorted with a laugh.

"What’s there to fear? Even if they’re stronger than me, I can take them out with a single shot," Lei Bao replied, unconcerned.

"Lei Bao, remember, when a martial artist’s strength reaches a certain realm, firearms won’t pose much threat to them. No matter how good you are with a gun, it will be hard to harm them. The most important thing is to strengthen your own power!" Xiao Yifeng lectured.

"Understood, Young Master. I’ll work hard," Lei Bao responded.

"By the way, how is the Imperial Guard doing?" Xiao Yifeng inquired, his most pressing concern.

"Young Master, rest assured. With Jian Yun, a top-notch expert, and the meticulous training from An Ying and others, the Imperial Guard will definitely bring you a surprise," Lei Bao said confidently.

"Good, keep working hard. We might need you all very soon," Xiao Yifeng said before hanging up the phone and starting his training.

Now that even his subordinates had broken through to the Gang Qi Realm, he also had to strive to break through to the Gang Qi Realm and quickly.

Once he broke through to the Gang Qi Realm, his strength would increase significantly, and then he would have nothing to fear even against experts at the peak of the Gang Qi Realm or those who had reached Great Perfection.

Only then would he be qualified to step into Yanjing again, to fulfill his ambition!

Meanwhile, in Suhang, inside a luxurious private room of a high-end club, Qii Zhenghua was seated on a leather sofa. Then, the door to the room opened, and Duan Canghai, Sect Leader of the Feidao Sect, walked in dressed in a black robe.

"Sect Leader Duan, it’s been a long time!"

Seeing Duan Canghai, Qii Zhenghua stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Chairman Qi has been too courteous," Xiao Yifeng said with a faint smile, before the two of them took their seats together.

"Sect Leader Duan, I believe you are well aware of the reason why I sought you out this time," Chairman Qi said in a restrained tone.

"Chairman Qi, even I did not expect this young fellow to be so audacious as to dare kill your grandson. It seems this youngster truly deserves to die," Duan Canghai snorted coldly.

"He is an enemy to both of us, so I wish to join forces with Sect Leader Duan," Chairman Qi’s gaze turned to Duan Canghai.

"What does Chairman Qi plan to do?"

"Tomorrow, Ye Yaxin will be coming to Suhang to attend the economic summit. Based on my judgment, it is highly likely that he will show up. Suhang is our turf; as long as he comes here, our opportunity arises."

"And if he doesn’t show up?"

"Even if he doesn’t, as long as Ye Yaxin is here, won’t he have to come?"

Chairman Qi spoke with a cold face.

A glint of brilliance flashed in Duan Canghai’s eyes as he said, "Chairman Qi is truly insightful. In that case, let’s decide on this."

"Good, let’s toast to our pleasant cooperation and make Suhang the burial ground for this youngster!" Chairman Qi’s eyes brimmed with fierce murderous intent.

After the secret conversation with Chairman Qi, Duan Canghai left the club.

Inside a Bentley car, Duan Canghai and Qiu Mu sat together.

"Qiu Mu, I’ll leave the arrangements of this matter to you. As soon as he steps into the boundaries of Suhang, no matter the cost to the Feidao Sect, he must die!" Duan Canghai’s voice was icy, his eyes shooting out terrifying killing intent.

"Yes, Sect Leader!" Qiu Mu nodded in response.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

Outside the Ye Corporation headquarters, Xiao Yifeng leaned against his Aston Martin, waiting quietly.

Soon, Ye Yaxin appeared wearing a white suit, exuding the air of a CEO.

Fang Siqi was also in tow beside Ye Yaxin.

"Siqi, why are you here too?" Xiao Yifeng asked, looking surprised at Fang Siqi.

"Su Yan has resigned, so I specially picked Siqi to be my secretary. She will be accompanying us to Suhang to take part in the economic summit," Ye Yaxin’s voice was crisp.

"What? Siqi is your secretary now? Then won’t I be unable to see Siqi at work?" Xiao Yifeng looked disappointed.

"What are you scheming now, with regards to Siqi?" Ye Yaxin glared at Xiao Yifeng, while Fang Siqi appeared both embarrassed and bashful.

"Not at all, I just prefer to admire beautiful women, that’s all!" Xiao Yifeng talked casually, with a smile on his face.

"Alright, let’s get ready to leave," Ye Yaxin said, and the trio promptly got into the car.

Afterward, Xiao Yifeng started driving towards Suhang.

Soon after noon, having traveled for about three hours, Xiao Yifeng finally entered the territory of Suhang.

Arriving in the Suzhang City Area, they found a hotel and stopped there.

"What? There’s only one room left?"
