Chapter 773: Chapter 773: Apology

Ling Feng looked at Chu Tianji’s grim face. Although he didn’t know what Chu Tianji wanted from him, he could tell that Chu Tianji’s situation was not very good.

Sitting with his legs crossed, Ling Feng poured himself a glass of water, then held it in his hands and slowly drank, "I assume the Chu Family Head doesn’t seek me out just because you’ve missed me after not seeing me for many days, right?"

Chu Tianji stared at Ling Feng; he hadn’t understood Ling Feng deeply before, but as he came to know more, he realized that this young man was definitely not a kind soul.

Thinking of the "grudges" between Ling Feng and the Chu Family, Chu Tianji couldn’t help but sigh.

He looked at Ling Feng and said earnestly, "The reason I’ve asked you here is first to apologize for Chu Tianyang’s actions!"

As he spoke, Chu Tianji slightly bowed his body. Ling Feng jestingly said, "Oh my, how could I possibly accept this? The Chu Family Head is being too polite. There’s no need for more, a simple bow will do!"

Chu Tianji’s mouth twitched. He was the Family Head of the Chu Family, one of the most powerful people in Huaxia. Even the country’s leaders were cordial in his presence, but this Ling Feng...

Chu Tianji suppressed his anger, aware that Ling Feng was a troublemaker. Ling Feng’s master, the new Dragon King, was an incredibly tough individual, so Chu Tianji temporarily tolerated Ling Feng’s "presumptuousness."

"However, Chu Family Head, your apology comes a little late," Ling Feng put away his smile and said indifferently as he looked at the Chu Family Head. "Nearly a week has passed since that incident. Don’t you think the sincerity is somewhat lacking?"

Chu Tianji slightly frowned, "Ling Feng, I didn’t know about my younger brother’s actions before. If I had known what he was planning to do, I would have never let him off! I’m aware our Chu Family has had some misunderstandings with you, but personally, I admire you. If possible, my Family would prefer to establish a friendly relationship with you!"

Ling Feng’s strength was extraordinary, and he also had a master who was extremely tough. Chu Tianji had keenly sensed that the balance of power in Huaxia was slowly shifting, and dark currents were beginning to stir among various powers around the world.

At this time, making an enemy of Ling Feng was definitely not a good choice!

"Is that so?" Ling Feng said ambiguously, "I actually don’t have the energy to keep playing with you, but I think some people in your Chu Family won’t just let things go, right?"

Chu Tianji said, "This was my mistake. Rest assured, from now on, my Chu Family will absolutely not have any malicious actions towards you! And whatever compensation you want, my Chu Family will try our best to provide it to you!"

Ling Feng tapped his fingers on the table and said, "If I remember correctly, you said the same thing last time! But Second Master Chu still caused me trouble. I wonder how much authority you, as the Family Head, actually have in the Chu Family! I’m quite lazy by nature. If things like this keep happening, I might do something unexpected!"

A threat, an unabashed threat! Despite facing the leader of Huaxia’s foremost family, Ling Feng’s tone contained no respect or awe. In his view, a so-called clan leader was nothing more than a life that could die just as any other!

After dominating the Underworld for many years, clan leaders from hereditary families and tycoons from large corporations had died by Ling Feng’s hand. The Kuroteng Family, with its thousand-year heritage, had perished overnight not too long ago, hadn’t they?

Accustomed to life and death, he had lost all reverence for supposed authority.

Hearing Ling Feng’s icy words, Chu Tianji’s eyebrows twitched, but he did not get angry because Ling Feng had the right to speak to him in such a manner.

"It seems you haven’t completely let go of your anger, Young Friend," Chu Tianji suddenly laughed. "Indeed, this matter is my Chu Family’s fault, and it’s only natural for you to be angry! How about this, I know you have shares in Chaoyang Biotechnology Group. My Family can fully support Chaoyang Group to ensure its smooth growth. What do you think?"

This offer appeared to be compensation and concern, but Ling Feng detected the underlying sharpness. Very few people knew that Ling Feng held shares in Chaoyang Group, yet Chu Tianji had investigated thoroughly, indicating that Chu Tianji’s interest in him had not been recent.

"I believe I’m capable of protecting Chaoyang Group myself!" Ling Feng said coolly.

Chu Tianji shook his head and said with a smile, "It’s easier to dodge an open spear than to guard against a hidden arrow. Although Chaoyang Group is growing rapidly, you must understand that business trickery is more ruthless than an actual battlefield! Do you realize how many groups’ advancement Chaoyang Group’s rise has obstructed? Not to mention the domestic groups eyeing us eagerly, do you think international interest groups will simply watch Chaoyang Group grow strong?"

"If I remember correctly," Chu Tianji continued, "there was an incident not long ago where an insider caused a leak within Chaoyang Group, involving overseas interest groups, wasn’t there? You’re already stretching your resources to deal with foreign powers. If some domestic interest groups start obstructing you, can you really guarantee that you’ll be able to protect Chaoyang Group?"

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, "Heh, I’m actually looking forward to someone reaching out. I wouldn’t mind uprooting those who can’t keep their hands to themselves!"

A faint smile appeared on Chu Tianji’s lips, knowing that Ling Feng had understood his meaning.

"I doubt you called me here just for this small matter," Ling Feng put down his glass and said, "Better to be straightforward and state your true purpose!"

Chu Tianji eyed Ling Feng, who met his gaze without flinching.

"Are you so sure I have other matters to discuss?" Chu Tianji asked slowly.

Ling Feng snorted coldly, "If there’s nothing else, then I’ll take my leave!"

As he spoke, Ling Feng started to rise from his seat to leave.

Chu Tianji exhaled, "Indeed, I do have other matters to discuss with you!"

With that, Chu Tianji took out an envelope from his bag and slid it across the table to Ling Feng.

"What is this?" Ling Feng asked.

"The property deeds for three villas in Longyu Garden!" Chu Tianji stated blandly. "The location of Longyu Garden is among the best in the whole of Yanjing. I think these three villas should be enough to exchange for the one on Panlong Mountain, don’t you?"

Ling Feng pulled out the documents, which indeed were contracts for the transfer of property ownership. Once signed by Ling Feng, these properties worth over a billion would be his!

"Why!" Ling Feng asked teasingly, "Why is the Chu Family Head so persistent about the villa on Panlong Mountain?"
