Chapter 2201: Chapter 2201: Logios Truth (22)

The man remembered Fei Jiang; he had come to see him once before, also for that piece of land.

But after he refused, he never appeared again.

"Mr. Fei, isn’t this method of yours a bit excessive? Isn’t this considered illegal detention?" He wasn’t short of money; that piece of land was inherited, and he had no plans to sell it.

However, there were rumors of new development plans over there, and people came to him wave after wave.

Threatening, enticing... he had seen it all.

"Excessive?" Fei Jiang tilted his head and asked the young girl beside him, "Little girl, do you think I’m excessive?"

"Whatever you do is right." Chuzheng acted as a blindly praising machine.

Chu Zhaoying: "..." Damn!

What’s up with this girl? Has she been bewitched by Fei Jiang?

Fei Jiang asked Chuzheng with the intent to test her attitude, but he didn’t expect her answer to be like this.

Fei Jiang shifted his gaze away, a smirk on his lips, and said unhurriedly, "I just want to have a few words with Mr. Bai; illegal detention sounds too severe."

Bai Cheng let out a light ’ha’, pointing at the wounds on his body: "Is this just ’having a few words’ with me?"

"I’ll compensate Mr. Bai for the medical expenses."

Bai Cheng: "..."

He was aware of how capable the person in front of him was.

Even if he really went to sue, he would probably only get a little medical compensation in the end.

"What exactly do you want?"

Fei Jiang had Chuzheng sit to the side. Chuzheng glanced at the man sitting on the ground, estimating that he was not much of a threat, and then took a seat.

Fei Jiang withdrew his gaze from Chuzheng, "Mr. Bai really likes racing?"

"What if I do?"

"What conditions did Cui Xianyu offer you?"

Bai Cheng roughly understood why this person suddenly appeared here.

The Fei family and the Cui family have never gotten along.

"No comment."

Fei Jiang chuckled, "Then Mr. Bai might just miss the race."

Bai Cheng: "..."

Fei Jiang pondered for a few seconds, the smile on his face growing stronger, "I guess Mr. Bai never intended to agree with Cui Xianyu, right? You trust your skills, you know you can win... But if you’re late, according to the rules, you automatically forfeit, which counts as a loss."

"..."

Bai Cheng had an urge to say something that does not align with the core socialist values.

"I don’t want your land, but you have to agree with me that the land should never be sold to Cui Xianyu."

The Fei family didn’t lack such a project.

Bai Cheng thought Fei Jiang would use violence to force him, but he didn’t expect him to say this, quite puzzled.

"Why?"

"I just find him annoying." Light flowed in Fei Jiang’s eyes; his face clearly showed a smile, yet he gave a feeling of cold chilliness.

Bai Cheng: "..." Good reason.

-

Fei Jiang and Bai Cheng ’had a good talk’ for a dozen minutes. Bai Cheng, not fearful on the surface, was internally scared.

Those people before, even when threatening, were still considered restrained.

But unlike Fei Jiang...

There was a moment when Bai Cheng really thought Fei Jiang might kill him...

This man had an intimidating aura.

A layer of cold sweat formed on Bai Cheng’s forehead. Leaning against the wall, his body shivered.

"If you break the agreement between us..." The man paused slightly, the corners of his lips curling upwards, "I will be sure to have another detailed chat with Mr. Bai."

Bai Cheng: "..."

Bai Cheng cursed Fei Jiang’s ancestors for eighteen generations, but in the end, he agreed, knowing when to yield.

"I understand."

"Hmm, then you may leave." Fei Jiang turned around, "There are still three minutes; Mr. Bai should make it. Oh... I forgot to remind Mr. Bai that if you lose this race and Mr. Bai needs to sell the land to Cui Xianyu as per the agreement, it will count as a breach of contract."

Bai Cheng: "..."

Nuts!!

Bai Cheng couldn’t care about anything else, hurriedly got up, and rushed out of the room.

"So you’re just letting him go like that?" Chu Zhaoying pointed at the door, "You really don’t want that land?"

"If the person doesn’t want to sell, why force them?"

Fei Jiang’s sudden sensibility made Chu Zhaoying feel like he had seen a ghost.

Are you the one to say this?

Think about who did those things in the past!

How can you say such things with a straight face?

Chu Zhaoying looked at Fei Jiang as if he were a monster.

The latter naturally sat down beside Chuzheng, their heads leaned in together, whispering about who knows what.

Chu Zhaoying felt completely out of harmony with the world.

-

Fei Jiang didn’t intend to watch Bai Cheng’s race. He chatted a little with Chuzheng before preparing to leave.

Just as he stepped out of the lounge, Cui Xianyu came this way with an assistant.

Cui Xianyu’s gaze first landed on Chuzheng, who was held by Fei Jiang. His eyes flashed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"President Fei, I didn’t expect to see you here."

"President Cui’s interests are quite broad." Fei Jiang didn’t look pleased, "Since when did you start liking racing?"

Beside Fei Jiang was Chu Zhaoying, who loved to play.

Chu Zhaoying also had a cousin who loved racing, so Fei Jiang’s presence was not surprising.

"In life, one naturally should try new things, isn’t that right, President Fei?" Cui Xianyu signaled towards Chuzheng with his eyes.

Fei Jiang tightened his grip on Chuzheng’s hand, pulling her behind him to hide.

Cui Xianyu raised an eyebrow, unsure if it was surprise or shock.

However, he quickly changed the subject: "President Fei, you didn’t happen to hear something and came here to specifically find Bai Cheng, did you?"

Holding Chuzheng, Fei Jiang left. As they passed by Cui Xianyu, he tossed out a few words: "Do you think Bai Cheng is stupid?"

Cui Xianyu’s expression remained unchanged; once those people disappeared, a serious expression took over his face.

"What did he say to Bai Cheng?"

The assistant behind replied quietly, "President Cui... I’m not sure... After Bai Cheng came out, he went straight to the race track; we didn’t catch him."

"Is everything arranged?"

"Rest assured, President Cui, Bai Cheng definitely won’t win." This, the assistant could guarantee.

"That’s good." Cui Xianyu, "That piece of land must be acquired."

The Fei family may not need it, but Cui Xianyu does.

Currently, the Fei family is under Fei Jiang’s leadership, but the Cui family is not under Cui Xianyu’s.

Although he is the heir, there are many people watching him from behind, many who want to drag him down.

"That Mo Chuzheng, look into her. For her to be kept by his side means she’s not simple."

The assistant promised continuously.

-

Fei Jiang just wanted to leave, but Chuzheng found an excuse, asking him to go first.

"What are you going to do?" Fei Jiang’s expression implied that Chuzheng was about to do something unspeakable.

"To find Liu Jinli."

Hearing it was Liu Jinli, Fei Jiang’s expression slightly softened, "What do you want from her? Let Chu Zhaoying call her over for you."

"...No need, I’ll go myself."

Fei Jiang frowned, grasping Chuzheng’s wrist, clearly not wanting her to go.

Chuzheng’s tone remained calm, "Let go."

Fei Jiang told himself not to let go, but his hand released Chuzheng nonetheless.

Chuzheng placed her palm on Fei Jiang’s forehead, "Take a nap; I’ll be back soon."

Fei Jiang: "..."

Chuzheng: "..."

The air was filled with awkwardness.
