Chapter 223: Chapter 223: The King’s Return (20)
“Do you see him?” Jiang Ye led Chuzheng to a corner and pointed in a direction.
There sat three people, all others around them kept their distance, creating a vacuum zone.
“The person you’re looking for should be him,” Jiang Ye said. “I asked around for you; his name is Qi Feng, a well-known intermediary in the underworld.”
This kind of person only connects others; he doesn’t touch anything else.
But his network is vast.
The man Chuzheng was looking for was the one sitting in the center.
He looked quite refined, wearing gold-framed glasses, much like a professor teaching in a classroom.
“Mr. Yin,” Chuzheng suddenly spoke up.
Jiang Ye followed Chuzheng’s gaze and the man stiffened as he turned around.
Seeing clearly who called him, and true to his thoughts, a trace of fear showed in the depths of his eyes.
He hesitated for a moment then approached, “Miss Chuzheng.”
“Mr. Yin, do me a favor.”
“…”
Yin Hong glanced at Jiang Ye, who stood very close to Chuzheng, and there seemed to be an ambiguous air between them.
He felt a drumming in his heart.
What did she want him to do this time?
He shouldn’t have coveted the things Sheng Min left behind…
But if he really had to do it all over again, Yin Hong felt he would still go for it.
Yin Hong pushed down the chaotic thoughts in his heart and coughed, “Cough cough… Miss Chuzheng, please speak, I’ll help if I can.”
Jiang Ye stayed silent about Chuzheng’s business matters, leaning casually to the side.
But Yin Hong felt immense pressure.
This young man looked somewhat familiar…
–
“Mr. Yin, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?”
In the corridor, Qi Feng’s tone carried noticeable impatience.
Yin Hong put on a smile and continued to lead the way, “Mr. Qi, the matter I’m discussing is quite significant; let’s go over there to avoid eavesdroppers.”
Qi Feng didn’t want to offend these people, even someone like Yin Hong who wasn’t considered a big shot.
After all, sometimes the lowlier people were, the more shameless they could be when causing trouble.
Offending such petty people wasn’t beneficial for him.
“Just ahead, just ahead, we’re almost there.”
Qi Feng followed Yin Hong around a bend, and was about to speak when he noticed a figure standing there.
Qi Feng stopped in his tracks and adjusted his glasses with his hand.
“Mr. Yin, you led me here for someone else, didn’t you?”
Yin Hong chuckled awkwardly, then bolted away.
He had to get away quickly; he didn’t want to be cannon fodder.
Qi Feng: “…”
The extraordinarily good-looking young man leaned idly against the railing, his black suit highlighting his graceful presence.
He casually looked up, his eyes holding a light smile as he greeted, “Mr. Qi.”
Qi Feng let his hand fall and pocketed it, “Mr. Jiang, may I know why you’re looking for me?”
“It’s not me who’s looking for you.” The young man straightened up and made a welcoming gesture, “Please.”
Qi Feng looked in that direction.
It led to a staircase, and further up was the top of the cruise ship.
Jiang Ye was actually a guide.
Who exactly wanted to meet with him?
Qi Feng took a deep breath and ascended the stairs.
The top deck should have been crowded, but now it was empty,
No…
There was one person.
She was sitting in the center, with various pastries and drinks on the table, and the neon lights outlined the figure of the young girl clearly and brightly.
