Chapter 168: Not an Easy Target!

“Yueyue, Daddy has to take a call. You play for a bit, okay?”

Hearing the phone ring, Shen Fei reached out and patted the little girl’s head.

After the little girl nodded, he took the phone and moved to the balcony a short distance away.

“Good evening, Chairman Ning!” Shen Fei greeted.

“Mr. Shen… no, you are the savior of our Ning family!” Ning Donghai exclaimed, recalling what the person in charge of Yunshuixuan had said. A wave of panic washed over him.

Luckily, Shen Fei had warned him.

Fortunately, he had listened to the warning.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginably severe.

Nervously, Ning Donghai realized that his emotions were unstable, and it was actually not the best time to contact Shen Fei.

However, he couldn’t suppress his panic and urgently wanted to speak with Shen Fei to calm himself down.

“Did Mr. Ning just confirm my sixth sense?” Shen Fei chuckled.

“Yes! Mr. Shen, I was foolish at the time! I had a professional team check the gas system, and they found problems. Thankfully, it was discovered in time, or the consequences would have been unimaginable!”

Ning Donghai shuddered at the thought.

Before Shen Fei could say anything, he continued, “Mr. Shen, your action saved thousands of families! It also saved the Ning family and our company!”

Though Ning Donghai was filled with doubt about why Shen Fei’s sixth sense was so accurate, he had no intention of asking him. After all, a person of Shen Fei’s caliber would probably not reveal his methods.

For now, what mattered most was that the crisis at Yunshuixuan had passed.

“You’re too kind, Mr. Ning. It was just a sixth sense! You even said at the time that it sounded a bit far-fetched, right? But still, the point is, you believed it, and it turned out to be quite accurate!”

Shen Fei said with a hint of nostalgia.

How could the memories from his past life be wrong?

“Mr. Shen, our Ning family really owes you a huge favor! I may not be a big figure in the industry, but I have some influence in Shenzhen! If you ever need help, just let me know. I, Ning Donghai, will do everything I can to support you!” Ning Donghai expressed his deep gratitude.

“Thank you, Mr. Ning!” Shen Fei replied politely.

Ning Donghai was slightly surprised by the tone of Shen Fei’s response, which was neither too humble nor too proud.

“Alright! Then Mr. Shen, please rest early. I won’t take up more of your time.”

After Shen Fei’s polite response, Ning Donghai smiled and hung up the phone.

There was a long silence before he angrily threw his phone onto the sofa.

“What are those so-called feng shui masters doing? If not for Shen Fei today, if he hadn’t said those words, Yunshuixuan, Donghai Group, and the Ning family would have fallen from the sky into hell!” Ning Donghai was furious.

The beautiful woman beside him took a few steps forward and gently patted his shoulder.

“Alright, don’t be angry! You’ll hurt your health!”

Upon hearing this, Ning Donghai’s expression softened a bit.

He sighed quietly.

“Sigh… just wait. After the investigation, we’ll see whether this incident was caused by human error or if it was truly due to the negligence of those people… If it’s the latter, then Shen Fei is really something!”

…

Yunhe Mansion.

“Who was that?” Han Xinyan asked, confused.

“Ning Donghai!” Shen Fei smiled faintly.

“Ning Donghai? The big shot in the catering industry, the president of Donghai Group?” Han Xinyan exclaimed, eyes wide in disbelief.

That man was a huge figure in Shenzhen!

Their small new company was nowhere near Donghai Group’s scale.

“What’s the big deal?” Shen Fei said, amused by Han Xinyan’s reaction.

“Of course! He’s the catering king of Shenzhen, Ning Donghai! But how do you know him?” Han Xinyan stepped closer and eyed Shen Fei suspiciously.

The distance between them was quite small.

“Oh, we met by chance. Didn’t I say I was going to have dinner with Jiang Tiancheng today? He took me and Hu Yuantai to Yunshuixuan, a new restaurant under Donghai Group, and that’s how I met him. I just left my contact information, that’s all!”

Shen Fei started rambling, getting flustered under Han Xinyan’s direct gaze.

Han Xinyan stood frozen.

She couldn’t believe how lucky Shen Fei seemed to be with his connections lately!

Jiang Tiancheng, Hu Yuantai, the former city committee member Jiang Anbang, and the police chief Zhong Qi… these were all influential figures. And now, even Ning Donghai from Donghai Group had contact with Shen Fei!

Everything seemed almost surreal.

Luckily, Han Xinyan didn’t know that Qian Dasheng, the chairman of Qiankun Group, had once tried to recruit Shen Fei, or that the current city committee member Yu Guotu had dined with Shen Fei. Otherwise, Han Xinyan might not have been so calm.

Coming back to her senses, Han Xinyan noticed how close they were, quickly standing up straight and changing the topic.

“Shen Fei, tomorrow is your class reunion!”

“Huh? If you hadn’t reminded me, I would have completely forgotten!” Shen Fei replied casually.

“Just go through the motions tomorrow, stay calm! Don’t interact too much with those classmates. Focus on chatting with Teacher Deng and the other teachers. Later, you can visit Teacher Deng in person when you have time!”

Han Xinyan gave him a thoughtful reminder.

“Do you think I’ll be troubled by them?” Shen Fei raised an eyebrow, retorting.

“What do you think? After your situation a few years ago, everyone in Shenzhen’s circle must know! And nowadays, reunions are all about competition, right? Where did you buy your house, where did you pick up your car… It’s all so superficial! If those people don’t know that you’ve turned your life around, they’ll definitely try to drag you down! Be prepared for that. There’s no need to ruin relationships with classmates over it!” Han Xinyan warned.

“Well… I’ll see how it goes!” Shen Fei smiled lightly.

“Huh? For example?” Han Xinyan asked, confused.

“If they leave me alone, fine. But—”

Shen Fei trailed off with a mischievous look, raising an eyebrow.

“If they provoke me, then I’m not someone they can mess with!”

“…I see!” Han Xinyan teased him playfully.

For once, they didn’t get tangled up together that evening.

Later that night.

Bored, Shen Fei lay back on the bed, but his phone suddenly buzzed.

He opened it to see a message from Su Ruoyan.

“Shen Fei, you have to come to the reunion tomorrow! /shy/shy”

“The address is Dongyue Restaurant, Hall One! Don’t forget!!!”

Looking at the two messages, Shen Fei was momentarily distracted.

Su Ruoyan’s actions weren’t entirely innocent.

The two hadn’t seen each other in over ten years, and their first meeting was when he bought a villa for over 20 million.

Since then, Su Ruoyan kept messaging him, trying to invite him out to eat or hang out.

He had firmly refused and even made it clear he had a wife and child.

But that hadn’t stopped Su Ruoyan’s advances.

What was her real motive behind all this? Shen Fei didn’t even need to think to guess.

Even though she knew he was married, she kept contacting him, clearly not just because of their old friendship, but because she was after his money.

Moreover, back in middle school, Su Ruoyan had always been a social climber, hanging out with the principal’s son, so she was definitely not a simple person.

As he thought about this, Shen Fei’s expression darkened.
