Chapter 1126: Chapter 1125 Arrogance

The just-introduced-to-the-Underworld Yun Hanrui wore a face full of excitement, her whole demeanor like an intrigued child, and after a night of explanations, she finally got a rather clear understanding of the Underworld.

"I really didn’t expect, beneath this world, there’s such a bizarre world!" With a deeper understanding of this world, Yun Hanrui’s mindset seemed to undergo a new transformation. She shot Ling Feng a glance, "You rascal, if I hadn’t cultivated and hadn’t encountered these things, were you planning to keep this from me forever?"

Ling Feng sighed, stroked Yun Hanrui’s silky hair, and said, "The Underworld is filled with bloody strife; it’s more like a brutal primitive society! The strong rule above all! I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want to sully your innocence with these dark elements of the Underworld. If possible, I hope you never have to come into contact with it your entire life!"

Listening to Ling Feng’s words, Yun Hanrui could feel the affection he held for her in his heart. Yun Hanrui shook her head and said, "Ling Feng, I disagree with you."

"I think it’s necessary for me to know the Underworld, to know the battles and sacrifices you’ve made there for us!" She said earnestly, "Even though the strength I can offer might be limited, I don’t want to be a sapling that’s constantly protected by you. I want to become a partner and lover who fights alongside you!"

"Because if I never know, I can’t truly understand your dedication and sincerity!" Yun Hanrui held Ling Feng’s hand, "That’s unfair to you!"

Ling Feng let Yun Hanrui rest her head on his shoulder, thinking, what more could a husband ask for with a wife like this?

"Ah, it’s already this late! The sky is almost bright!" Yun Hanrui noticed the clock on the wall; it was nearly six o’clock. The dawn outside was already staining the sky red, and just like that, the entire night had passed!

Yun Hanrui stuck out her tongue, "I didn’t expect the morning to come so soon, but surprisingly I don’t feel tired at all. Let’s go have some breakfast. We have a meeting to attend at nine o’clock!"

After breakfast, Ling Feng accompanied Yun Hanrui to greet her team and then headed to the meeting venue.

The meeting was held in a villa, which was already secured by the military. The attendees this time were top-tier personnel from leading global biological research groups, a fact the local government heavily emphasized.

"Director Chen, it’s been tough on you, arriving at the meeting site so early?" Upon arriving at the estate, Ling Feng saw that Chen Jiakang had already arrived.

Chen Jiakang handed over the entry pass to Yun Hanrui, saying, "I merely came early to collect entry passes. I hope President Yun will return fully rewarded!"

Yun Hanrui smiled and then entered the venue with the head of the research team.

"Director Chen, aren’t you going in?" Only Ling Feng and Chen Jiakang were left outside.

Chen Jiakang laughed, "I’m in management, so I don’t understand the content of this meeting. I’ll just stick to my responsibilities. Why don’t you go in, President Ling?"

Ling Feng shrugged, "I’m only here to accompany Xiao Rui; I’m not fond of these meetings. You don’t have to call me President Ling, just call me Ling Feng."

Chen Jiakang smiled and didn’t respond. Even though Ling Feng said so, Chen Jiakang wouldn’t overstep bounds.

"This villa has many leisure areas; there’s a coffee shop right ahead. If you’re bored, President Ling, you might as well sit there!" Chen Jiakang said, "Just, I’ve heard the villa’s backyard is the Forbidden Area, no one should enter casually. Do avoid going in there, lest it causes trouble!"

The villa’s backyard? Ling Feng nodded.

At this moment, an arrogant voice came over, "Haha, I was wondering who it was, turns out it’s Chen Jiakang, the one kicked out from our place as Director Chen! I heard you’ve been taken in by a Huaxia Company? How delightful! Yet, I hear that Huaxia Company’s level is rather low; would a Harvard graduate like you not feel you’re being wasted?"

Upon hearing this voice, a flash of anger crossed Chen Jiakang’s eyes. He turned to see a rotund middle-aged white man, "Andrei, my current company is great, there’s no need for your concern! Moreover, I believe our group will catch up to yours in ten years, and then I’ll have to thank you for your favors!"

"Hahaha, catching up in ten years? Director Chen, that’s the funniest joke I’ve heard this century!" The white man laughed, "Your new company must have given you confidence, however...what’s the name of your new company again? Whatever, in front of our Ophir Group, you’re nothing. Besides..."

Saying this, the white man sneered, "If I made a call to your group’s chairman, do you think you can stay in your current group? I haven’t taken action against you because I want to see your face when you fall from Paradise to Hell!"

Chen Jiakang clenched his fists, "Andrei, do you think your Ophir Group can really dominate the world?"

"Our Ophir Group may not dominate the world, but it’s enough to dominate you!" Andrei sneered, "Chen Jiakang, I’m warning you, I’ll make you desperate, even if you step into Huaxia’s enterprise. I still can do it! I don’t believe there’s any enterprise in this world willing to offend our Ophir Group for a minor pawn like you!"

Chen Jiakang bit his lip, eyes red; Andrei’s words pierced his heart like a sharp knife!

"What’s the point!" Andrei said triumphantly, seeing Chen Jiakang’s anger, "I still think highly of you, Chen Jiakang, if you agree to my terms, I can immediately let you return to your original position..."

"Dream on!" Chen Jiakang sneered, "Do you think I’m like you, one to sell out for glory? Talking to you, a white swine, dirties my ears!"

Andrei’s face darkened, "Chen Jiakang, you’d better think clearly. This is the first time in my life I’ve been splashed with alcohol, and you should know what that means for me. I can frankly tell you, unless you send your wife to my villa, there’s no place for you in this world. I swear it!"

Just as Chen Jiakang was about to punch that repulsive face, he felt his arm get heavy.

Ling Feng noticed Chen Jiakang’s movement, so he held his arm, then said to the smug Andrei, "Congratulations, Mr. Andrei, your second time is about to arrive!"

Before Andrei could react, Ling Feng picked up a water bottle nearby and poured it directly onto Andrei’s face, then sincerely said, "Mr. Andrei, have you sobered up a bit? If not, I see there’s a fountain not far ahead. I can let you take a dip to clear your head!"

The entire bottle of water was poured over Andrei’s head, ruining his meticulously styled hair, making him look utterly disheveled!

He appeared bewildered; clearly, this event was unexpected for him.
