Chapter 541: I’ll Do As You Say!

Helplessness engulfed Huang Wei completely. Her gaze became vacant, and her head felt as though it were rusted.

What could she possibly do in this situation to escape?

She had hoped that once the den of the Tian Sheng Grand Hotel was destroyed, she could permanently distance herself from those painful past experiences.

All of this was thanks to Shen Fei, and the mercy of heaven, which allowed Huang Wei to see hope in life once again, reigniting the small spark of hope for her future.

However, just when she had finally escaped the depths of suffering, she was once again confronted by someone wanting to drag her back into hell…

Huang Wei didn’t know how this had all happened. She never imagined that someone like Xie Mingjun, who she thought knew nothing of her past at the Tian Sheng Grand Hotel, would send her such chilling messages now.

The situation was already dire. Huang Wei understood that, rather than worrying about how Xie Mingjun found out about her past, it was better to think about how to handle this crisis.

If she agreed to his demands, it would mean submitting to her life. After struggling so hard to see the light of day again, how could she bear to fall back into the darkness?

But if she didn’t agree, he would undoubtedly expose everything he knew, and she would have no escape then…

What sin have I committed to deserve this…

Who can help me… who can help me…

Wuwuwu…

Huang Wei sank into endless sadness and regret, furiously tugging at her hair, her eyes swollen from crying.

After a long silence, the phone suddenly buzzed again.

“Sweetie, I advise you not to try any tricks with me! I’m the type of person who likes obedient ones. If you go against me, I might just impulsively release all the information I have on you!”

“Tsk, if your family and friends found out… it would be quite the scene!”

“You must have your own thoughts on how to choose by now!”

These were the messages from Xie Mingjun.

After reading them, Huang Wei’s soft sobbing turned into loud crying.

Her heart filled with despair as she shivered with cold, curled up into a ball.

When the phone’s notification pinged again, she panicked, immediately throwing the phone far away.

After a long time, Huang Wei slowly lifted her head. Her thoughts were a tangled mess, and her face was full of conflicted expressions.

After sniffing and letting the sobs and frustrations fade, she composed herself and abruptly stood up, retrieving the phone from where it had been thrown.

She opened the screen and stared at the saved number she had never dared to call.

Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and pressed the dial button.

At the Yunhe Villa.

Shen Fei, who had been playing with little Shen Jiayue, paused when he saw the contact name on the screen.

He was very surprised.

Since giving Huang Wei his contact info, she had never reached out to him. Now, late at night, she suddenly called him.

After thinking it over, Shen Fei couldn’t come up with any reason.

“Yueyue, Daddy needs to take a call. You play by yourself for a bit!” Shen Fei gently patted the little girl’s head and smiled.

Then he went to the balcony to answer the call.

“Miss Huang!”

“Mr. Shen, I’m sorry to call you so late…”

Huang Wei’s voice was a bit hoarse from crying.

When Shen Fei heard her still-raw sobbing, he was slightly taken aback, then pretended not to notice, laughing lightly.

“It’s fine. Is there something you need?”

“Mr. Shen, I…”

Huang Wei had just managed to compose herself, but hearing Shen Fei’s voice, she lost her courage to speak.

“You don’t have to be so formal, just speak freely,” Shen Fei said, sensing her hesitation.

Although they had only met a few times, and their relationship wasn’t very deep, Shen Fei felt a certain protectiveness toward Huang Wei because of her past.

Huang Wei took a deep breath and immediately said,

“Mr. Shen, I need your help with something!”

“Hm? Just say it,” Shen Fei replied.

“Mr. Shen, someone found out that I used to work at the Tian Sheng Grand Hotel and was called ‘Sweetie.’ They are now threatening me!”

When she mentioned this, Huang Wei felt a fresh wave of fear. Her heart, which had calmed down, began to race again.

“Mr. Shen, I don’t want to trouble you. You’ve already helped me so much since the Tian Sheng Grand Hotel incident… but I really don’t know what to do with this…”

At this point, Huang Wei could no longer control her emotions. Tears flowed from her eyes.

“Don’t worry. What did they threaten you with?” Shen Fei frowned.

“Mr. Shen, they told me to meet them at a hotel tonight. If I don’t, they’ll expose my past to the public. If that happens, I’ll have no choice but to die to preserve my dignity! After everything that happened at the Tian Sheng Grand Hotel, I’m not afraid of dying, but I’m terrified of what might happen to my mother and sister. If they get hurt because of this, I’ll be guilty beyond measure…” Huang Wei cried.

“I understand. Do you know who they are?” Shen Fei asked.

“I don’t know, but they’re called ‘Xie Shao,’ so he might be a friend of Mr. Hu! He came to find Mr. Hu this afternoon, but Mr. Hu wasn’t in. This person wandered around our office, and I ran into him when I came out of the bathroom. He seemed very polite, but I felt like something was off… In the end, he insisted on adding me on WeChat, and I agreed because I was worried about the trouble if I refused. But tonight, he suddenly messaged me saying he knew about the Tian Sheng Grand Hotel…” Huang Wei explained what had happened.

Shen Fei immediately caught the key point in her words.

“A friend of Mr. Hu? Yuan Tai?”

Could it be that this shameless person knows Hu Yuan Tai?

“How is that possible?” Shen Fei muttered to himself.

“It seems so. That person came to the company today looking for Mr. Hu!” Huang Wei replied.

“Does Mr. Hu know about this?” Huang Wei asked.

“I don’t think so… How could I tell Mr. Hu about this?” Huang Wei sounded despondent.

Shen Fei didn’t respond immediately. He was silent for a long time.

After a while, he suddenly spoke loudly.

“Miss Huang, may I directly tell Mr. Hu about your past? But don’t worry. Knowing Mr. Hu, he definitely won’t spread this information, nor will he hold it against you!”

Huang Wei lowered her eyes, staring at the papers on the table.

Shen Fei didn’t rush her for an answer.

After a long time, Huang Wei finally said firmly,

“Mr. Shen, I’ll do as you say!”

The fact that he knew Mr. Hu meant it would be best if Mr. Hu stepped in.

She had already benefited from Shen Fei’s help time and again, so how could she put him in a dangerous position just because of her own shame?

“Good. Leave this to me. You just focus on your own matters. Tomorrow will be a new day!” Shen Fei said calmly.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 542: Is He Your Friend?

Focus on your own matters…

Given the current situation, how could she focus on anything else?

Sitting on the edge of the bed with a blank expression, after hearing Shen Fei’s comforting words, for some reason, Huang Wei’s mood slowly began to calm down.

But no matter what, she couldn’t focus on her own matters. She hurriedly charged her phone, waiting for the other person’s message.

Fearful and trembling, she anxiously awaited tomorrow’s arrival.

Meanwhile.

At Yunhe Villa.

After hanging up the phone with Huang Wei, Shen Fei shook his head helplessly, and suddenly thought of a saying: “Rope always breaks at the thinnest part; misfortune always finds the most unfortunate people!”

He dialed Hu Yuantai’s number.

“Fei Ge, it’s so late, what’s up?” Hu Yuantai asked, surprised.

“Yuantai, I need to ask you, do you know someone called Xie Shao? He seemed to have gone to your company this afternoon!” Shen Fei got straight to the point.

Xie Shao?

Xie Mingjun…

How did Fei Ge know about this person?

For a moment, Hu Yuantai frowned and quickly asked, “Fei Ge, I know him! This afternoon, my assistant called me saying this person came to Zhongtai Trade to find me before meeting you and Tiancheng! But meeting you and Tiancheng was more important, so I ignored him. By the time I came back, he had already left… But Fei Ge, why are you asking about this?”

“Is he your friend?” Shen Fei asked, puzzled.

“No, not really. I can only say I know him! Fei Ge, what’s going on?” Hu Yuantai explained, still confused.

“Alright, let me tell you directly! This afternoon, this guy followed Huang Wei to the bathroom. When Huang Wei turned around, he deliberately started a conversation with her and forcibly added her on WeChat! Just now, he threatened her!” Shen Fei said directly.

“Huh? Threatened? Why would he threaten Huang Wei? What could she have that he could threaten her with?” Hu Yuantai was very puzzled.

“Yuantai, do you remember when Tiancheng and Liang Shuang were on a blind date, and we first met Huang Wei? I told you her life was tough, do you remember that?” Shen Fei asked.

“Of course, Fei Ge, what’s the connection?” Hu Yuantai was still in the dark.

“Of course there’s a connection!”

After receiving Huang Wei’s cue, Shen Fei slowly explained her past to Hu Yuantai, leaving him stunned.

“Fei Ge, are you saying that the person is threatening Huang Wei with her past?” Hu Yuantai suddenly realized.

“Yes! Huang Wei’s past was buried with the collapse of Tian Sheng Hotel, but somehow, this person found out and is forcing her to go to that five-star hotel in the city center. You should understand what that means. If Huang Wei doesn’t go, we all know what the consequences will be!” Shen Fei said solemnly.

“Damn, this Xie Mingjun bastard! I gave him face!” Hu Yuantai cursed.

Shen Fei was taken aback, as it was the first time he had seen Hu Yuantai lose his temper like this.

He sighed helplessly and said loudly, “Yuantai, do you blame me for hiding Huang Wei’s past?”

“Fei Ge, no! Zhongtai Trade is just a small company, there aren’t many rules. Besides, Huang Wei didn’t fall into that situation on purpose! She’s just an unfortunate person! If she had no ability, even if I didn’t know her past, I would have fired her! But if she’s capable, she’s an important member of my company!”

Hu Yuantai suddenly became frustrated.

“However, Fei Ge, why didn’t Huang Wei come to me for help when she ran into this?”

“If you were her, and I knew your past, who would you go to first?” Shen Fei responded.

“Alright, I get it!” Hu Yuantai immediately realized he had asked a foolish question, and quickly changed the topic, “Fei Ge, did Huang Wei tell you where Xie Mingjun is staying?”

“Well… she didn’t give me the exact details. Let me check and get back to you,” Shen Fei said.

“Good, Fei Ge, I’ll wait for you!” Hu Yuantai replied.

“Tsk, you’re planning to meet Xie Shao in person?” Shen Fei asked with a frown.

“Of course! This guy Xie has not only offended Huang Wei, but now he’s offended me! He’s harassing my employee in my company, isn’t that a slap in my face?” Hu Yuantai said in a low voice.

Although his tone was calm, Shen Fei could hear the anger beneath it.

“I’ll go with you!” Shen Fei said calmly.

“No need! It’s late, Fei Ge, don’t you need to be with your wife and Yueyue? I’ll handle this!” Hu Yuantai quickly refused.

The reason Hu Yuantai didn’t want Shen Fei to come was because he feared Xie Mingjun might inadvertently expose his own identity.

To this day, even in front of Jiang Tiancheng, Hu Yuantai had not revealed anything about his identity.

Now was not the time to do so.

“Alright, if that’s the case, I’ll leave this to you. I’ll ask Huang Wei for the exact address of that Xie guy!” Shen Fei said.

Afterward, Shen Fei contacted Huang Wei and, after finding out the details, sent the information to Hu Yuantai via WeChat.

After everything was done, Shen Fei let out a deep sigh.

Suddenly, a pair of delicate arms wrapped around his waist.

It was Han Xinyan.

“What’s wrong? Why the sigh?” Han Xinyan asked with concern.

“Nothing, just had a chat with Yuantai!” Shen Fei smiled faintly.

“Alright!”

Han Xinyan rested her head gently on Shen Fei’s back and softly said, “Tomorrow’s the trial, Longguang Media is officially going up against Tengke! It’s a big deal. I’m planning to take the day off and go to court with you. What do you think?”

“Sounds good! After we drop Yueyue off at school, we can head straight to the court!” Shen Fei said.

“Mm! Then you should sleep early tonight so you won’t oversleep tomorrow!” Han Xinyan smiled.

“Look at you, if I oversleep, won’t you wake me up?” Shen Fei laughed.

“Just a reminder! Alright, go spend time with Yueyue, I’ll find you a suit! Tomorrow’s trial will have plenty of media reporters, we need to look impressive!” Han Xinyan said, patting Shen Fei.

Shen Fei nodded and went to find Shen Jiayue.

At the same time.

After receiving Shen Fei’s message, Hu Yuantai, recalling what Shen Fei had just told him, was filled with rage.

Even though he was usually calm, he could no longer maintain his composure.

Glancing at the address, he drove to the five-star hotel.

Twenty minutes later, he stood at the door of Xie Mingjun’s room, lightly knocking.

Xie Mingjun heard the knock and smiled, his lips curling into a playful grin.

Tonight was destined to be a night of enjoyment for him.

Excited, Xie Mingjun quickly opened the door.

But as soon as the door opened, he was kicked hard in the stomach.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 543: You Can’t Afford to Offend Me!

“Damn!”

Before even recognizing who was standing in front of him, Xie Mingjun was kicked.

This was the first time Xie Mingjun, who had never been bullied, felt such intense anger.

Clutching his abdomen in pain, he began to curse loudly.

However, Hu Yuntai, who was usually calm and humble, ignored Xie Mingjun’s outburst and directly pushed the door open, walking right in.

It was at this moment that Xie Mingjun finally recognized who it was.

It was actually Hu Yuntai.

No matter how he had imagined it, he never expected Hu Yuntai to appear before him at this moment.

“Huh? Yuntai, what are you doing here?”

Confused, Xie Mingjun immediately asked.

But Hu Yuntai didn’t answer him. He gave Xie Mingjun a cold look, and just as Xie Mingjun straightened his back, Hu Yuntai kicked him again from behind.

Caught off guard, Xie Mingjun was knocked to the ground.

Before he could get up, Hu Yuntai stomped on his chest.

“Damn, Hu Yuntai, what the hell do you think you’re doing?”

Although Hu Yuntai came from the Hu family and was Hu Feier’s younger brother, Xie Mingjun had never been treated like this in his entire life. A sense of humiliation surged in him, and he was filled with anger.

“Xie Mingjun, shouldn’t I be asking you that? What the hell are you doing?” Hu Yuntai said coldly, looking down at him and stepping harder on his chest as if treating him like trash.

“Hu Yuntai, get your foot off me!”

Suppressing his anger, Xie Mingjun glared at Hu Yuntai with cold eyes.

But to Hu Yuntai, this threat wasn’t worth taking seriously.

“Xie Mingjun, I know you’re reckless and arrogant, and I don’t care about how you went wild in Beijing. But here in Shenzhen, in my company, acting crazy like that disgusts me. Don’t think you can bring your Beijing tricks here and use them on my employees! The Hu family is not to be messed with! And you… you definitely can’t afford to offend me!” Hu Yuntai said in a low voice.

“Haha, so that slut is yours?”

Xie Mingjun suddenly blurted out this question out of nowhere.

“Dammit, you bastard!”

Hu Yuntai was momentarily stunned. After a second, he turned his gaze to Xie Mingjun’s legs.

Seeing this, Xie Mingjun quickly covered his lower body, desperately trying to break free from Hu Yuntai’s foot.

He looked utterly disgraceful, trying to escape as fast as possible.

The reason he was so submissive was that Hu Yuntai’s martial arts skills had been envied by all the second-generation elites in Beijing. It was clear how powerful Hu Yuntai was.

As for Xie Mingjun, his body had been drained by indulgence in alcohol and women, so he could never match Hu Yuntai in a fight. Fortunately, he didn’t lose his cool in anger; otherwise, his situation would have been even worse.

Just as Xie Mingjun managed to get up, Hu Yuntai grabbed him by the collar.

“Xie, if you ever threaten Huang Wei with that information again, don’t blame me for being ruthless! To be honest, in the face of the Hu family, punishing you is a simple matter. The Xie family can’t protect you! And keep your Beijing tricks to yourself, no one in Shenzhen knows you, and no one will buy your act! Don’t even think about messing with anyone in my company, let alone someone close to me. If anything happens, I will pay you back three times as much! You know me! If you think you can handle my wrath, then go ahead and cause trouble!” Hu Yuntai said fiercely.

After saying that, he let go of Xie Mingjun’s collar with disgust, as if touching something dirty.

He gave him one last disgusted glance before preparing to leave.

But before he could take a few steps, Xie Mingjun stopped him.

Gone was the anger from earlier, and now Xie Mingjun had a smile on his face.

“Yuntai, I certainly remember what you said! But I hope you can be a bigger person and not hold this against me. Don’t tell your sister about this!”

As soon as these words left Xie Mingjun’s mouth, Hu Yuntai’s hatred for him soared.

He held back the revulsion in his heart, ignored him, and walked out the door.

It wasn’t that Hu Yuntai didn’t care about his sister’s situation, but anyone could see that Xie Mingjun was out of his league trying to pursue her.

His sister was so outstanding, and Xie Mingjun was like a toad trying to eat swan meat.

Moreover, his sister had no interest in someone as useless as him.

Inside the room.

Everything that had happened in Xie Mingjun’s room was fully observed by Wen Shichu.

As Hu Yuntai left, Wen Shichu was conflicted.

After a brief silence, he gathered his courage, opened the door, and walked toward Xie Mingjun’s room.

“Mr. Xie, was that noise coming from your side? I was watching TV in my room and heard someone talking.”

Wen Shichu cautiously opened the door, his every movement filled with submission.

Xie Mingjun sat motionless on the sofa, his face dark and forbidding.

Upon hearing the sound, he slowly turned his head to look at Wen Shichu.

“You, come here.”

The simple two words weighed heavily on Wen Shichu’s heart.

But he didn’t dare delay, quickly walking towards Xie Mingjun.

“Turn around and face away from me.”

Upon hearing the command, Wen Shichu knew he wouldn’t escape the beating.

He resigned himself to the situation and turned away from Xie Mingjun, waiting for the next move.

As expected, the next second, he was kicked solidly in the back.

Just like how Xie Mingjun had been kicked by Hu Yuntai earlier, Xie Mingjun kicked Wen Shichu again in anger. He kept kicking until Wen Shichu was backed up against the wall and unable to move, then he stepped firmly on his back.

“Wen Si, are you coming here to watch me suffer? Damn! Why didn’t you come when I was being beaten? Huh! Wen Si, I’m talking to you!”

All the anger Xie Mingjun had been holding in was now unleashed on Wen Shichu.

Wen Shichu dared not respond.

But he knew that if he had intervened earlier when Hu Yuntai was beating Xie Mingjun, he would have received double the anger.

Xie Mingjun would have turned all his fury on him for not daring to confront Hu Yuntai, making things far worse.

Not hearing Wen Shichu’s answer, Xie Mingjun’s anger flared again.

The veins on his neck bulged as he kicked Wen Shichu in the side.

The force was so great that Wen Shichu lost his balance, crashing sideways into the wall, gasping in pain.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 544: This Madman Can’t Be Provoked!

The Wen family is considered a prominent and influential family in Kyoto.

In the second-generation circles of Kyoto, who wouldn’t respectfully address Wen Shichu as “Young Master Wen”?

But now, Wen Shichu finds himself utterly humiliated, trampled under Xie Mingjun’s feet, like a stray dog, stripped of all dignity!

How did he fall to such a state? It’s all because of Xie Mingjun’s unpredictable temperament and his twisted way of thinking.

Did he want this? Of course not.

But when he heard noises coming from the nearby room, he realized that if he went over, the outcome would be disastrous.

What he didn’t expect was that Xie Mingjun would completely ignore the Wen family’s power and treat him like this!

If he pretended nothing happened and left Xie Mingjun alone in the room, tomorrow—no, even tonight—would surely be worse for him!

No matter what he did, it would be wrong, and he would be treated like less than a human being.

Lying on the floor, holding his stomach where he had been kicked, Wen Shichu took several deep breaths. After the pain subsided a little, he propped himself up with his hands, struggling to rise.

But halfway up, Xie Mingjun coldly stared at him, bent down, and grabbed his collar, glaring furiously.

Seeing this, Wen Shichu’s eyes filled with fear. He quickly raised his hands.

“No, Young Master Xie, please…”

Xie Mingjun sneered disdainfully and then pressed down on Wen Shichu’s head with his other hand.

“Wen Shichu, Wen Shichu, why didn’t you investigate the relationship between Hu Yuantai and that woman? Are you dissatisfied with me and trying to get back at me?”

Wen Shichu was completely confused after hearing this.

What does this mean?

Is Hu Yuantai involved with that woman? Did she join Zhongtai Trading because of him?

How is that possible?

If there were such a connection, he should have found this in the information he received!

Recalling everything he saw earlier on the surveillance and Xie Mingjun’s intelligence, it seemed natural for Xie Mingjun to think this way.

“Young Master Xie, I would never dare to retaliate against you! The information I received doesn’t mention anything about this! If I knew that woman was connected to Hu Yuantai, would I not tell you? The only thing unclear is why that woman ended up at Zhongtai Trading! Young Master Xie, I am loyal to you, how could I have any ill intentions?”

Wen Shichu quickly explained.

“Dammit, if that woman wasn’t connected to Hu Yuantai, how could he have been so agitated and even come to the hotel to find me? What kind of person is she! She’s just a tramp!” Xie Mingjun spat, full of hatred.

Facing Xie Mingjun’s intense explanation and the spit flying at him, Wen Shichu could only pretend as if nothing had happened.

At this point, even breathing felt like a mistake.

“Young Master Xie, I really didn’t know, I swear I didn’t!” Wen Shichu could only repeat.

“Damn it! Useless! You’re just a waste!”

Xie Mingjun’s fingers pointed at Wen Shichu’s forehead, his expression becoming more sinister.

Finally, seeing that Wen Shichu was still in that cowardly, submissive state, Xie Mingjun pushed him to the ground.

“Young Master Xie, thank you for sparing my life! I, Si’er, failed in my duties!”

Wen Shichu pinched himself hard, tears instantly welling up as he humbly apologized.

The room fell into silence.

Only the sound of Xie Mingjun’s heavy breathing after hitting him, and Wen Shichu’s sigh of relief after narrowly escaping the worst, filled the air.

After swallowing a lump in his throat, Wen Shichu cautiously lowered his gaze to the floor and asked, “Young Master Xie, what should we do now?”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Xie Mingjun slapped him again.

“Wen Si’er, Wen Si’er, I called you useless, and you truly are useless! Don’t you understand Hu Yuantai’s attitude toward that tramp? If this continues, how can I pursue Hu Feier?” Xie Mingjun growled angrily.

“Young Master Xie, you truly think of everything!” Wen Shichu quickly flattered.

However, Xie Mingjun ignored him.

He looked out the window, dialing Zhang Sicong’s number, but the phone didn’t pick up.

Xie Mingjun paused. He had forgotten that Zhang Sicong was on a flight at this time.

“Wen Si’er, get a few girls for me! It’s a long night, and I need to have some fun!” Xie Mingjun waved his hand.

“Okay, Young Master Xie, what type would you like?” Wen Si’er quickly got up.

However, as soon as he spoke, Xie Mingjun shot him a glare.

Wen Shichu froze for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and said, “Young Master Xie, I was ignorant! I’ll arrange it immediately!”

At this point, Wen Shichu felt like he was walking on thin ice next to Xie Mingjun.

If Xie Mingjun had been born in ancient times, he would have already been overthrown in a rebellion.

—

On the other side, at Yunhe Villa.

Shen Fei received a call from Hu Yuantai.

“Fei Ge!”

“Has it been taken care of?” Shen Fei asked.

“Yes! Fei Ge!”

“What’s their background? Are you sure you won’t get into trouble because of this?” Shen Fei asked with concern.

“How could that be? Besides, Fei Ge, I’m such a steady person. How could I do anything extreme? The other party isn’t a big shot; they just learned about Huang Wei’s past and saw how beautiful she is, so they wanted to take advantage of her! After this, I think they won’t dare to act again! They won’t have the guts to spread what they know… But Fei Ge, although Huang Wei faced this trouble in the company, since she is familiar with you, I might need your help once more!”

Hu Yuantai frowned.

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei nodded, “Alright!”

After a pause, Shen Fei suddenly said, “The court session is tomorrow. Your sister-in-law will also be there. Do you think we should split up?”

“Fei Ge, that works! You and sister-in-law can go first, mainly because it’s not just me and Tian Cheng, even Zhou Zhengji and Jin Liyao, after hearing about this, want to go too!” Hu Yuantai was candid.

This made Shen Fei pause.

If it were just Hu Yuantai, Jiang Tiancheng, and Duan Guxiang, that would be fine.

But with other second-generation people involved, this felt like too much of a spectacle!

“Alright, we’ll go separately. There will be a lot of reporters tomorrow, so be careful!” Shen Fei said.

“Got it, Fei Ge!”

At this moment, Hu Yuantai had returned to his usual self.

It almost felt like the person who had beaten Xie Mingjun earlier in the hotel was someone else.

After finishing the call with Hu Yuantai, Shen Fei didn’t call Huang Wei.

Instead, he sent a message on WeChat and went to bed.

—

In a simple room.

Huang Wei stared blankly at the message Shen Fei sent, her eyes already filled with tears.

She felt dazed about what had happened tonight.

Then, she broke down in sobs, murmuring softly, “President Shen, President Hu, I owe you both so much…”

—————- END —————-

Chapter 545: No-Prize Guessing!

Shen Fei was unaware of Huang Wei’s gratitude.

The next day was the day for the court hearing between Tengke Company and Longguang Media.

Early in the morning, major online platforms were buzzing with heated discussions.

After nearly a month of delays, today would finally mark the start of the battle, and a winner would be determined. How could people not be excited?

Perhaps for other companies, such attention wouldn’t have been garnered.

But the opponents in this lawsuit were no ordinary players.

On one side was a company that, by forcefully copying several games, became the dominant force in the gaming industry. They even had a “never-failing general” in their legal department, who had managed to stay unscathed in numerous lawsuits.

On the other side was a controversial newcomer, generous in spending, whose every move, even when subtle, sparked heated debates due to their wealthy background.

The clash between the two was bound to attract attention, especially with some people trying to ride the wave of the situation, or who had ulterior motives, further fueling the fire.

Consequently, netizens voiced their opinions one after another.

“This lawsuit between Tengke and Longguang Media is finally going to determine the winner!”

“There’s a good show to watch! Who do you think will win this lawsuit?”

“I’m in the U.S., just landed! If I had to say, I think this lawsuit will end in favor of Tengke Company. The final result will definitely be Tengke winning.”

“I agree with the above! Many of Tengke’s games have been copied by other companies. Even when those companies sued, they lost because the Pearl City court didn’t favor them. So, for me, this lawsuit is just like an egg trying to crack a stone!”

“I lost hope the moment I found out the law firm representing Longguang Media is called Yunhe. I couldn’t find any useful information about them online, and they’ve only been established for two years, handling minor cases…”

“Sigh, although I can’t stand Tengke’s constant plagiarism and suppression of domestic game developers, because of the chaotic actions of Shen Fei and his family, I still side with Tengke Company!”

“Isn’t anyone supporting Shen Fei? Fine, I’ll be the first to eat the crab!”

“As a devoted gamer, I hope someone can change the current situation in China, where one company dominates and intellectual property is unprotected. I also hope Tengke Company will be more restrained and let the domestic gaming industry flourish. But I definitely don’t want that person to be Shen Fei!”

“This Yunhe law firm, never heard of it! If Tengke loses this lawsuit, they’ll definitely be a big deal!”

“Seriously, is everyone’s focus off the point? This case directly relates to the improvement and advancement of China’s intellectual property laws. Tengke’s constant plagiarism of other games is already a big problem! I like Shen Fei, but in this case, I really hope he wins. That way, the domestic gaming industry will slowly improve!”

“I agree with the person above! If Tengke wins this time, it means fewer new games will be developed in China. Tengke will become even more arrogant! Also, right now, you’re supporting Tengke not just out of bias against Shen Fei, but also against the original creators of those games! It’s not easy to create a game, and yet they end up having to make it for Tengke because they don’t have a strong legal team…”

Online, netizens were sharing their thoughts.

At this moment, the Pearl City Court was bustling with crowds outside.

News media, internet celebrities eager to ride the wave of popularity, and other self-media were gathering here.

A number of enthusiastic netizens were also trying to get first-hand information.

This case had turned the normally quiet court entrance into a bustling scene, like a morning market.

As time passed, the crowd only grew larger.

After dropping off little Shen Jiayue at kindergarten, Shen Fei drove with Han Xinyan, escorted by Yuan Song and the others, heading toward the Pearl City Court.

This was Shen Fei’s third time leaving Shenzhen.

The first two times were due to Ji Jian’s need for collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the lithography machine project, and the second time was for chip development at the Shenzhen Research Institute, requiring Hu Fei’er’s involvement.

But this time, he was driving to Pearl City, a nearby city to Shenzhen.

Inside the Maybach.

“Honey…”

Han Xinyan, sitting in the backseat, appeared a bit nervous.

“I’m so nervous! Do you think we can really win this lawsuit? I’m not sure about it!”

“What are you worried about?” Shen Fei raised an eyebrow and smiled.

His demeanor was completely calm, as if today’s matter was just another ordinary task.

“Until the verdict is out, anything could happen! We’re up against Tengke Company, and so many people are paying attention to us, all with negative views… If we win, we’ll look good, but if we lose, we’ll become a joke for the entire Shenzhen and even the whole of China!” Han Xinyan furrowed her brows.

“I understand your concern! But, Ayan, we don’t need to worry about this! Besides, even if we don’t do this, we’ve already been laughed at plenty. It’s no big deal! But if Tengke loses, the ripple effect will be enough to keep them busy for a while! So, compared to that, we can just relax and wait for the verdict!”

Shen Fei sniffed and continued,

“I think today marks the end of Tengke’s reign as the ‘invincible general!’ They better start thinking about how to deal with the aftermath!”

“Huh? From your tone, you seem really confident! Do you really think Tengke will lose? And even if they lose, do you think their consequences will be worse than ours?” Han Xinyan asked, still worried.

“Of course! It’s precisely because they are a big company that their loss will be even more disastrous!” Shen Fei chuckled.

Han Xinyan lowered her head, carefully thinking about Shen Fei’s words.

Just as Shen Fei was about to explain further, the ringing of a phone suddenly interrupted the silence.

Shen Fei grinned and teasingly looked at Han Xinyan, saying,

“Now, a no-prize guessing game—who do you think is calling?”

This…

Han Xinyan shot him a glare.

How could she guess?

“Alright, no-prize guessing, what should I guess? Just tell me!” Han Xinyan said.

“Okay, I guess it’s Tengke’s CEO, Ma Hua!” Shen Fei said nonchalantly, clearly already anticipating such things.
