Chapter 944: Chapter 944: Take Action

Not only Chen Gui and Secretary Lin, even Yun Hanrui was a little surprised. However, Ling Feng wasn’t lying; the Junyue Grand Hotel was indeed one of his properties.

Previously, the Junyue Grand Hotel fell under the Taizi Club’s corporation, but later during a power struggle, the Taizi Club quickly disintegrated due to the Ye Family’s intervention, and many of its assets were swallowed by the Flame Hall, including the Junyue Grand Hotel.

As the hidden Controller behind the Flame Hall, Ling Feng naturally became the owner of the Junyue Grand Hotel.

Chen Gui’s expression was very unpleasant. He sneered and said, "So what if Junyue Grand Hotel is your property? Does that give you the right to barge in here at will? Secretary Lin, it seems some people are truly audacious!"

Secretary Lin’s expression was also very unpleasant. Ling Feng bringing Yun Hanrui to "create trouble" was, in Secretary Lin’s view, a blatant expression of their dissatisfaction.

"President Yun, what’s going on here?" Secretary Lin decided to start with Yun Hanrui. He felt a sense of familiarity with Ling Feng but couldn’t immediately recognize that this was the man who once broke his son’s legs.

Before Yun Hanrui could speak, Ling Feng already took over the conversation: "Secretary Lin, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Rui. I just want to know why you stood up Xiao Rui in our family. Now it seems, it’s all explained!"

Secretary Lin disliked Ling Feng’s tone, as if he and Chen Gui were caught in some money-power trade, while he felt he did nothing wrong.

"What do you mean by that!" Secretary Lin said angrily. "Are you accusing me?"

Ling Feng shook his head, looking at Secretary Lin with a pitying gaze.

Since Ling Feng entered, he noticed a strange energy lingering around Secretary Lin, as if it was continuously eroding him.

This energy emanated from Chen Gui.

With Ling Feng’s insight, he could tell at a glance that Secretary Lin’s behavior was entirely due to some manipulation by Chen Gui.

Yet, Ling Feng was puzzled by Chen Gui’s actions. Did he not fear being found out with such blatant manipulation of Secretary Lin?

"I’m not accusing you," Ling Feng said with a smile. "I just feel sorry for you!"

Hearing this, Secretary Lin’s face turned even less pleasant. "Arrogant, so arrogant... You... you’re Ling Feng?"

At this moment, Secretary Lin finally recognized Ling Feng, looking incredulously at Yun Hanrui and Ling Feng. He never expected that Yun Hanrui’s man was the same person who broke his son’s legs.

Recognizing Ling Feng’s identity, Secretary Lin became much more cautious. He had initially wanted to avenge Lin Song, even investigating Ling Feng’s background, only to be discreetly warned off by higher-ups, which shocked Lin Feng and made him abandon the idea.

But unexpectedly, he encountered Ling Feng under such circumstances.

"Do you recognize me?" Ling Feng was slightly surprised.

Secretary Lin’s expression was uncertain. With Yun Hanrui being Ling Feng’s woman, he couldn’t overly favor Chen Gui.

Chen Gui, unaware of Ling Feng’s identity and unaware of Secretary Lin’s apprehension, sneered and said, "President Yun, what do you want? Are you resorting to underhanded tactics because your business prowess is lacking? Have you reached the end of your rope?"

Ling Feng chuckled softly at this: "Chen Gui, right? I didn’t think you’d still have the face to say such things. I’m amazed by your thick skin. As for underhanded tactics, isn’t that little thing in your pocket an underhanded tactic?"

Chen Gui’s face changed. The puppet controlling Secretary Lin was indeed in his pocket, but how did this young man know? Did he really detect it, or was it a lucky guess?

Chen Gui was flustered but did not believe this young man could uncover the sorcery, which was something prepared by the Grand National Master of Thailand, not something easily seen through by ordinary people.

He comforted himself with this thought but showed no panic on his face. He coldly smiled: "I have no idea what you’re talking about, and your words are slander against our Chen Family. I reserve the right to accuse you!"

Ling Feng shrugged: "Forget it, I don’t even want to argue with you!"

With that, Ling Feng walked to Secretary Lin, pouring him a glass of wine: "Secretary Lin, if not for the past collaboration with Chaoyang Group, I wouldn’t bother to help you! You might not have noticed, but have you been especially eager for tonight’s dinner, thinking only about meeting with Chen Gui today?"

When Ling Feng said this, Secretary Lin’s face changed, recalling from the moment he woke up that morning; Ling Feng had hit the nail on the head: "How do you know that?"

Ling Feng pointed to the glass of wine and said: "It seems you haven’t been deeply affected. Drink this; it should clear your mind!"

"Secretary Lin, don’t drink it!" Chen Gui was somewhat anxious: "I suspect this guy has tampered with the wine; he is not trustworthy!"

Chen Gui’s manipulation of Secretary Lin required subtlety over time, and now, with the puppet’s influence too short, although Secretary Lin was affected, he had not completely lost his reason.

As for whether the wine was poisoned or not, Secretary Lin believed Ling Feng wouldn’t do such a thing, given his status as one of the Dragon Group; he wouldn’t poison his own!

"Fine, I want to see what secret this wine holds!" Secretary Lin lifted the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The liquor entered his mouth without any alcohol flavor, transforming into a refreshing energy that spread throughout his body.

Secretary Lin couldn’t help but shiver, then exhaled in relief. After drinking the wine, he felt as if a burden had been lifted from his body, feeling incredibly light, with a mental clarity he had never experienced.

"This feeling... is so wonderful!" Secretary Lin mumbled.

But just then, a shadow flitted past behind Secretary Lin, emitting a sharp screech.

"Trying to escape right in front of me?" Ling Feng’s eyebrows raised, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly solidified, trapping the shadow mid-air.

Secretary Lin felt the hair on his body stand up: "What on earth is this thing? Why did it appear from behind me?"
