"Mr. Ren, Wenxue."
Jiang Xiangwen smiled and said, "Today's scenery is quite nice, the autumn air is crisp, and West Lake is beautiful at this moment, with a unique charm. Why don't we go boating today? I once said I would show Mr. Ren the beautiful scenery of Suhang, but I haven't fulfilled that promise yet. I truly failed in my duty."
Ren Feng naturally agreed. He hadn't gone anywhere lately with Xia Wenxue, so it was a good opportunity to enjoy West Lake before returning to Jiangnan City.
Jiang Xiangwen, elegant and refined, took Ren Feng and Xia Wenxue, and drove towards West Lake.
"Why haven't I seen Moshu?" Ren Feng asked.
"Oh, she has already gone back to Jiangnan City, couldn't leave her grand educational career behind," Jiang Xiangwen joked.
Just as the car drove away from the Xia family's home, a spy sent this information to Song Zhaoming.
"Ren Feng and Xia Wenxue went to West Lake?"
Song Zhaoming wore a gloomy expression. He had been restless recently because he couldn't get his revenge. Ren Feng had killed his first son, broken the leg of his second son, and disrupted his plans.
If he could kill Ren Feng, then the vendetta could be settled, and the plan could continue as normal.
Even when Han Buyan was around, the thoughts in his heart spread like wild grass.
Hearing the report from the spy below, Song Zhaoming hesitated, uncertain. Although arrangements had been made with the organization, once the task was completed, and with Ren Feng's head in hand, he could immigrate to the United States. By then, even Han Buyan would be helpless against the organization.
Song Zhaoming, with a sullen face, contemplated. He had long known that Han Buyan had left Suhang some days ago. Indeed, now was an excellent opportunity. He just needed to kill Ren Feng!
"That old man Han Buyan has left Suhang. What do I have to fear?" A trace of ruthlessness crossed Song Zhaoming's face. This time, he would kill Ren Feng and make him pay with blood!
"Send people to West Lake, keep an eye on them, and bring Xia Wenxue to the Song family!"
Ren Feng was completely unaware, and soon they arrived at West Lake.
Autumn at West Lake was indeed full of charm, with quite a few people touring the area.
"'Mist rises along the hills, the expanse already turns to autumn. Delighted to see the temple deep in the woods, reluctant to leave the silent shore.' In such a setting, boating is the best choice," Jiang Xiangwen said with a smile.
The three rented a boat and boarded it, gently rowing on West Lake.
There was someone on the boat making fine tea—Longjing of the highest quality.
Mist rose from the lake, and a wooden boat softly rocked in the water.
"Mr. Mu has been brewing tea for over twenty years, and in all of Suhang, only he can capture the true essence of Longjing," Jiang Xiangwen said with a smile.
"You're too kind, Mr. Jiang," Mr. Mu replied with a slight smile. "Mr. Jiang is touring West Lake with guests today; naturally, I can't let the guests find fault."
Ren Feng observed and noted that Mr. Mu's tea-making technique was indeed quite skilled.
"A pot of cloudy wine and a breeze on the river, Mr. Ren, you're truly a dragon crossing the river, with all of Suhang submitting to you. I truly admire you," Jiang Xiangwen joked.
"Not at all; Mr. Jiang is the hidden dragon of Suhang."
"Mr. Ren, the situation was initially in chaos, but after your intervention, things have stabilized. The three families don't dare to make a move now," Jiang Xiangwen said with a smile. "It's turned out to be beneficial for me. A little stability is good for everyone."
Ren Feng smiled slightly without answering.
Xia Wenxue sat quietly to the side.
After finishing three rounds of tea, the wooden boat returned to the shore.
"If Mr. Jiang ever has time to visit Jiangnan City, I would gladly host you," Ren Feng said with a smile.
They were supposed to say their goodbyes, but just then, Xia Wenxue furrowed her brows. She felt some stomach pain from drinking too much tea earlier.
"I need to go to the bathroom," Xia Wenxue said softly.
"Okay," Ren Feng smiled gently. "We'll wait for you here."
The two of them stayed and chatted while Xia Wenxue headed towards the restroom. Suddenly, as she approached, someone from behind rushed up, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief laced with anesthetic.
She struggled only briefly before falling unconscious.
Then several people arrived and carried her away, putting her into a car.
Meanwhile, Ren Feng and Jiang Xiangwen continued chatting.
"Mr. Ren, I truly admire you. I pursued Xia Wenxue for so long without her paying me any attention. Your methods of winning a woman's heart are indeed impressive," Jiang Xiangwen joked. "You must teach me sometime."
Ren Feng smiled slightly, but then he realized something.
"Why hasn't Xue'xue come back yet?"
"Women usually take their time; let's wait a bit more."
Jiang Xiangwen suggested.
However, after a few more minutes, Xia Wenxue still hadn't returned. Ren Feng furrowed his brows, sensing something was amiss.
"Let's go take a look." Jiang Xiangwen also noticed something was off.
The two of them went straight to the public restroom, inquiring with some tourists who had just come out, but none had seen Xia Wenxue.
Ren Feng furrowed his brows and shouted, "Xue'xue."
There was no response; he rushed right in.
"Ah, what are you doing, pervert!"
The angry cries of women came from inside the restroom, and Jiang Xiangwen was dumbfounded, then smiled wryly.
But shortly after, Ren Feng came out with a cold expression.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Xiangwen sensed that something was amiss.
"She's gone," Ren Feng said coldly.
"What?" Jiang Xiangwen was shocked. "How is that possible? Mr. Ren, don't worry, I'll notify my people to check it out."
The situation came too suddenly, and Ren Feng hadn't reacted instantly. His face was now icy cold, and his mind was racing. Clearly, someone had targeted him. Who could it be?
He had already narrowed it down to the three families before. Evidently, only the Yang, Song, and Cheng families could be involved.
"Mr. Ren, I've already sent people to investigate. Don't panic," Jiang Xiangwen said, also frowning. He couldn't fathom who else would target Xia Wenxue.
At that moment, a subordinate approached.
"Sir, someone asked me to deliver this letter to Mr. Ren."
This subordinate was from the Jiang family, responsible for Jiang Xiangwen's safety.
Ren Feng took the letter and immediately, his face turned icy cold, as if filled with boundless rage!
"The Song family, damn it!"
Ren Feng clenched the paper, crushing it, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire!
To harm Xia Wenxue was to touch his reverse scale. The Song family had a death wish!
"Mr. Ren, what's wrong?"
Jiang Xiangwen asked beside him. Ren Feng tossed the paper ball to Jiang Xiangwen, then rushed to Jiang Xiangwen's car.
He quickly got into the car and drove off into the distance.
Jiang Xiangwen unfolded the paper ball, and upon seeing its contents, his expression changed.
"The Song family is bold; the skies over Suhang are about to change."
Jiang Xiangwen's face was serious, and he immediately instructed, "Quickly go inform my father."
The subordinate quickly went off to do so.
