"Okay."

Lin Changge nodded, his gaze fixed on the Sea City outside the car window. Under the night sky, the brightly lit Sea City shone with a unique charm.

Three thousand people.

Even if you sprout wings, you can't escape.

Li, you dare to offend my Lin Family. I'll make you realize just how absurd your mistake is.

"Lin Shao, this is the hotel closest to the New Century Group building. Standing on the balcony, you can see the entire building across from us using a telescope."

The convoy stopped at a hotel, and Xu Youwen escorted Lin Changge to the reserved presidential suite, leading him to the living room's floor-to-ceiling window and pointing at the building diagonally opposite.

Lin Changge directly took the telescope from Xu Youwen's hand, looking over at the New Century Group building, only six or seven hundred meters away.

At this time, it was precisely seven or eight o'clock, and some nearby office buildings were still brightly lit, with many offices working overtime.

The almost pitch-black New Century Group building stood conspicuously amidst the bright lights.

Without Lin Changge asking, Xu Youwen began narrating beside him: "The New Century Group building already has no staff inside. At noon, this company directly gave a week of paid leave."

"However, as far as I know, Li Feng has an affiliated security and bodyguard company, and in the afternoon, people from this bodyguard company already took over the entire building's security."

"Oh."

"Lin Shao, this Li Feng shouldn't be underestimated. He is known as the Hidden Dragon in Huacheng and is a major underground figure in Huacheng, handling a substantial cash flow."

"Hmm?"

Lin Changge furrowed his eyebrows at the remark: "Is this Li Feng really powerful?"

Seeing Lin Changge's expression, Xu Youwen was slightly stunned: "Didn't you know, Lin Shao?"

Lin Changge glanced at Xu Youwen.

"I did have someone inquire about some information, but from that data, Li Feng seemed just like someone without principles, willing to grovel for money and power, marrying into a family, and even using unscrupulous means, holding onto women's coattails just to climb up."

Hearing Lin Changge's words, Xu Youwen took a breath in, giving a dry laugh.

"Is that information fake?"

Looking a bit displeased, Lin Changge demanded clarification, and Xu Youwen hastened to explain: "Not all of it is fake, but online information tends to be one-sided."

"Li Feng did act as a live-in son-in-law and had relations with Han Xue, the chairwoman's wife of Century Group, but not in the way the internet portrays."

"Oh!"

The Xu Family, being a prominent celebrity family, naturally had more insider knowledge than ordinary people. Li Feng's stories were indeed perceived like that publicly, but those were only superficial. The real truth had long circulated among the elite.

However, knowing the truth, the major families kept it discreetly, since boasting about high society gossip to people at societal's bottom rung was considered undignified.

"Lin Shao, Li Feng's scheming is not ordinary. He is known as the Hidden Dragon in Huacheng, conducting himself discreetly, and aside from some family heads and core sector members, he is known little by common people."

"The matter of being a live-in son-in-law, even the Zhang Family might not know. If they did, the daughter of the Zhang Family would certainly not dare to cuckold him and then throw him out."

"Back when the Zhang Family was at its peak, their assets were merely over tens of billions, while as Huacheng's largest underground financier, he could easily pull out billions in cash."

"I heard that Li Feng, in revenge against his ex-wife, directly invested fifty billion in cash to buy the Zhang Family's Qingcheng Fashion."

"As for Li Feng later joining Century Group, it wasn't due to hanging on Han Xue's coattails. I also know that woman; she is just a little secretary. She married old Chen by sheer luck. She might want control in Century Group, but she must have the capability."

"Old Chen was not a fool. After Han Xue joined the Chen Family, she resigned from the group, lacking significant background, merely a trophy wife in the Chen Family."

"Oh, then how did Li Feng get into Century Group?"

"Because Chen Muyang, old Chen's son, was somewhat inadequate. Han Xue appeared to be pregnant with old Chen's child, and old Chen planned to amend his will, leading Chen Muyang to know and infuriate old Chen causing a blood clot in his brain, then wanting to finish off his stepmother entirely."

"But later, inadvertently provoking Li Feng, Chen Muyang was too arrogant, dismissing Li Feng, and thus suffered a setback."

"Old Chen woke up afterward, understanding Chen Muyang's actions, which resulted in the headline news you saw. But old Chen wasn't foolish; he realized Li Feng's Hidden Dragon status."

"His granting Century Group to Li Feng was to protect his youngest son. Not long after entrusting, he died suddenly. If not for Li Feng supporting Han Xue, she would have faced a deadly fate."

"That's the truth; as for online content, much is rumor, yet Li Feng has intentionally manipulated it, clouding the details."

"No wonder this person has such depth. Without knowing Li Feng's true background, you would randomly think he's ordinary and end up suffering greatly."

said Xu Youwen.

The ones suffering include not just Chen Family's member; in Sea City, quite a few have faced public humiliation from Li. But whom can they blame; Li Feng has become adept at duping others with his method of camouflaging his real strength.

Yet Xu Youwen understood.

After all, anyone hearing Li Feng married in, the instinct was to look down upon him. Sometimes Xu Youwen wondered if Li Feng did it intentionally to play on others' misconceptions, masking his true prowess.

Hearing Xu Youwen's recount, Lin Changge squinted his eyes slightly.

"Seems I truly underestimated Li Feng, thinking he merely climbed to this position without a foundation."

Turning to Xu Youwen, Lin Changge queried: "Those people you found, how are their capabilities? Originally, I thought Li Feng had a bit of power himself, but lacked background and depth, now I see I misjudged."

Lin Changge was skillful at maintaining appearances without anyone in Lin Family questioning him. He was indeed a deeply calculating person.

Only this time, he overlooked the details, hence suffering such an awkward loss.

However, he wasn't one to be boastful or clueless, always aware of his strength.

Thus, he consistently put forth utmost effort, even if it's a mere rabbit hunt.

"Lin Shao, this Li Feng may be strong and prepared, but he is inherently a bit arrogant, thinking everything is under his control."

"He also lacks insight into our strength. This time, we three families combined efforts, and my Xu Family alone deployed over a thousand people, seventy percent from our security company, the remaining thirty percent being my Xu Family's highly trained private guards."

"These people aren't simply muscle and fitness enthusiasts. In many ways, they maintain the security in our overseas businesses."
