The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 144: Playing Dead


In fact, although Chang Xinyan said he couldn't kill Xiao Feng, he didn't necessarily believe it in his heart.

He just thought that after observing a series of Shen Tianze's actions, it wasn't worth provoking Xiao Feng for a false name and ten billion in bets, so he hesitated to make a move.

"Remember the dude named Xiao Feng I told you about?" Chang Xinyan removed his hand from the female assistant's thigh and spoke seriously.

Ali tilted her head thinking for a while, then showed a look of realization: "Are you talking about the one who allegedly has close ties with the rich guy from Kyoto?"

"Exactly!" Chang Xinyan sneered: "Previously, the rich club organized a game. Whoever kills him first would get something valued at ten billion, and everyone would acknowledge he's the most badass!"

"But, you said that Xiao Feng should not be provoked?" Ali frowned: "Wouldn't you be in danger if you joined the game?"

Chang Xinyan shook his head: "At that time, no one knew what Xiao Feng was up to. Besides, if it weren't for the rich guy from Kyoto behaving like they're close with him a few days ago, even I'd have been tempted to act."

This is where Chang Xinyan surpasses Shen Tianze; he knows better how to be patient. Although this trait may cause him to miss fleeting opportunities, it helps him avoid catastrophes brought about by recklessness.

The other rich kids evidently understand Chang Xinyan's cautious nature and chose to wait and see, resulting in everyone feeling fortunate, especially when they learned about Xiao Feng's connections in Kyoto.

"I'm different from Shen Tianze. I had a fallback from the very beginning, and I've never done anything against Xiao Feng." Chang Xinyan tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest: "I'm only puzzled if Shen Tianze is bluffing or if he really killed Xiao Feng."

"Are you overthinking this? As you said, whether Shen Tianze is bluffing or really killed Xiao Feng, it doesn't concern us." Ali said: "I believe it would be best if this is true."

Chang Xinyan asked, "Why?"

"Think about it, if Xiao Feng is really connected to Kyoto, then Shen Group is in big trouble. In Jiangcheng, wouldn't we be the top dogs?" Ali analyzed.

"You're still a bit naive." Chang Xinyan shook his head with a laugh: "I think the opposite. I hope Shen Tianze's news is false, and Xiao Feng has more trouble so we can come as saviors."

Speaking as if Ali was about to ask further, Chang Xinyan answered himself: "The reason is simple; being a fisherman's profit isn't easy. If we miscalculate, we might end up dragged into the mire."

Ali pondered for a moment, nodded with a serious expression: "You're right, being people from Kyoto, if they have the capability to disrupt Shen Group, it'd hardly be an effort to topple us."

"That's my current headache..." Chang Xinyan sighed with some melancholy.

But at this moment, Chang Xinyan's eyes suddenly lit up: "I got it! Ali, go contact the rich guy from Kyoto, tell him Shen Tianze's news, and clarify our stance. Say that if needed, the Chang Family can offer any assistance within our power!"

Ali took a moment to react, then praised: "You're truly wise, I'll do it right away."

In Chang Xinyan's view, rather than waiting for the answer to reveal itself, it's better to find a way to make the answer come to light. He believed that once Wang Lubo got the message, he would undoubtedly react.

And Chang Xinyan predicted correctly; when Wang Lubo heard the news, he couldn't help but explode: "Damn it! Shen Group is suicidal; they're going to ruin my life's happiness! Grab your gear, let's go to Shen Group."

...

Meanwhile, Blood Nightmare and Lin Jiaxuan entered Shen Tianze's villa, followed by two confidantes carrying a stretcher front and back.

On seeing the stretcher, Shen Tianze couldn't help but rush over excitedly: "That's right, you damn bastard! You have your day, haha!"

As they watched Shen Tianze's maniacal laughter, Blood Nightmare and Lin Jiaxuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Laugh while you can...laugh while there's still time.

"Mr. Shen, the person is dead. Isn't it time for the payment?" Blood Nightmare said calmly.

"Of course!" Shen Tianze waved generously: "The money will be right on time, and given how beautifully you've completed the task, I'll add an extra fifty million as a reward."

Blood Nightmare chuckled: "Thank you very much, Mr. Shen."

Sometimes, people's perspectives change rapidly. Just hours ago, Shen Tianze internally cursed Blood Nightmare, but now, not only was he praising, he also added a fifty million bonus.

"Xiao Feng, oh Xiao Feng, why did you mess with me, Shen Tianze? Now you understand the consequences of provoking me, right?" Shen Tianze sneered, then asked Blood Nightmare: "Before you killed this bastard, did you tell him who he was dying at the hands of?"

Lin Jiaxuan nodded: "Told him, letting the target die knowingly is always the principle of our Blood Nightmare."

"That's good, that's good!" Shen Tianze laughed heartily: "Did this bastard ever think about begging for mercy before dying? Did he regret opposing me?"

Just then, the pumped-up Shen Tianze jerked suddenly, and yelled angrily: "Who set the air conditioner so low, adjust the temperature higher."

Someone outside immediately responded: "Yes!"

Blood Nightmare and Lin Jiaxuan glanced at the motionless Xiao Feng, exchanging a look; they knew the sudden chill wrapping over Shen Tianze wasn't due to the air conditioner, it was the killing intent from Xiao Feng affecting the surrounding temperature.

After the money arrived, Blood Nightmare looked at her phone: "Mr. Shen, the cooperation is complete, until we meet again!"

Shen Tianze waved: "This cooperation was very successful; I'll prioritize you next time if there's a need."

Blood Nightmare nodded, then left with Lin Jiaxuan, but before they departed, their eyes on Shen Tianze held a trace of pity…

"It'd be such a waste not to take a picture of such a memorable moment," Shen Tianze said with a laugh, taking out his phone, wanting to take a group photo with Xiao Feng's "corpse".

However, just as he was about to press the shutter button, he distinctly saw Xiao Feng, who was originally motionless, suddenly opened his eyes on the screen!

Shen Tianze was shocked, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the phone screen again, only to find Xiao Feng not only opened his eyes but also had a smile on his face.

"Ghost!" Shen Tianze screamed, tossing his phone aside, frantically trying to get away from Xiao Feng.

But just as he was about to run, he felt his collar grabbed.

Shen Tianze was nearly scared to the point of peeing himself, trembling: "Don't... don't act impulsively, I'm not the one who killed you, if you're here for revenge, there's no need to come for me!"

"Nonsense!" Xiao Feng cursed: "You really believe bringing in just any third-rate organization can kill me?"

"But just now…" Shen Tianze widened his eyes, suddenly realizing the possibility, that Xiao Feng was colluding with Blood Nightmare to swindle his money.

And most importantly, Xiao Feng is not dead; did Miao Youmin also fail to escape?

Before he could continue contemplating, Xiao Feng spoke: "Were you having fun cursing me?"

"I... I was wrong!" Shen Tianze hurriedly pleaded: "I yield, state your conditions, as long as I can meet them."

Xiao Feng sneered, then stood up and kicked Shen Tianze in the backside.

"Ah!" Shen Tianze yelled, flopping to the floor, cover in tears and snot, and without a trace of his previous arrogance.

Those outside heard the noise, rushed in to check, startled to see Xiao Feng's apparent "resurrection", legs trembling: "Zombie, zombie, it's a zombie!"

While shouting, they crawled away in a panic.
