CHAPTER 244: CHAPTER 244: FAILING TO STEAL A CHICKEN, LOSING THE BAIT

"You can go now. If he dares to come, our Nangong Family will let him know we’re not to be trifled with." At this moment, everyone in the Nangong Family wore expressions of utmost confidence.

This was the confidence given to them by Feng Qiang.

"Is everything Mr. Feng asked us to prepare ready?" Patriarch Nangong asked after the person left.

"Yes!" Another person nodded and replied truthfully, "Everything was prepared long ago. Mr. Feng has entered seclusion and is reportedly attempting to advance to Quasi-Martial Venerable."

"He said, the day he emerges from seclusion will be Ye Feng’s death anniversary."

"Good! Ye Feng dares to act presumptuously in front of our Nangong Family; it’s truly self-humiliation." Hearing this, Patriarch Nangong felt even more confident, his heart filled with determination.

"Ye Feng, you scoundrel, the humiliation of that day will surely be repaid a hundredfold. Just you wait!" The most excited among them was Nangong Jin, who wished he could step on Ye Feng right now and humiliate him severely.

He wanted to return Ye Feng the shame brought upon him, a hundredfold...

On the other side, after finishing his phone call, Ye Feng released the suited man.

A small fry like him was not worthy of Ye Feng’s attention.

After this incident, he probably wouldn’t dare to go against Ye Feng anymore.

Of course, Ye Feng hadn’t let him off easily before releasing him.

Prior to this, Ye Feng had all the workers come to him to settle accounts, having them recover every penny he had previously withheld.

Though the amount withheld each time was quite small, with many workers and long periods, the sum became terrifying.

For this reason, the guy compensated over ten million.

In this instance, he truly failed miserably, not only failing to get the money he wanted back but also having to give out a lot, truly ending in wretchedness.

...

After the factory returned to normal, Ye Feng left, not wanting to create more disturbances for the workers there.

On his way back, Ye Feng purchased a large amount of materials to refine Beauty and Youthful Essence.

To stockpile, Original Liquid is naturally needed. Although one bottle can produce much, increasing production also requires a certain amount of Original Liquid.

After bringing the materials home, Ye Feng entered the cultivation chamber, swiftly refining Beauty and Youthful Essence within.

"Ah!" After a period of refining, Ye Feng let out a long breath.

Refining like this was quite exhausting.

However, the speed was decent, successfully producing over a thousand bottles of Original Liquid.

With these Original Liquids, a large quantity of products could be manufactured; it should be enough for the time being.

After sorting everything out, Ye Feng had just stepped outside when he noticed a fragrance in the air, signaling Liu Xue had returned and had already prepared the meal.

"What’s wrong?" While eating, Ye Feng saw Liu Xue with a worried look and asked quickly.

"Nothing," Liu Xue shook her head, then said, "The Liu Family was kicked out of the Liu Family’s business; I heard it was quite tragic."

"Isn’t that a good thing? Haven’t you always wanted this? Now you can take down the Liu Family’s business in one strike." Ye Feng asked, puzzled.

"Yeah!" Liu Xue nodded, but still answered sadly, "But, you know, I’m still part of the Liu Family. It leaves me feeling somewhat uncomfortable."

"But, this is merely the initial feeling; I suppose I’ll get used to it."

"If you feel bad about it, whatever you do, I support you," Ye Feng smiled, comforting her.

For Ye Feng, whether business or money, it’s all minor.

If he wanted, Ye Feng could create them with a flick of a finger, so despite Liu Xue’s considerable commotion, it was nothing more than trivialities to Ye Feng.

"Thank you, husband!" Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Liu Xue felt deeply moved.

"Oh, I need to go down to the South tomorrow." During dinner, Ye Feng mentioned casually.

"Stay safe." Liu Xue didn’t say anything else, just uttered a word of concern.

"Mm!" Ye Feng nodded.

...

Meanwhile, with the downfall of the Liu Family, Liu Shinian, Jin Er, and others were surprised to find that no one was bullying them anymore.

Seeing they weren’t bullied today, Liu Shinian asked in surprise, "Did they suddenly gain a conscience?"

"Maybe." Liu Ji nodded.

These days, they had been tormented terribly, causing them dread at the thought.

Suddenly, going through a day without being bullied felt like a wonderfully happy occasion.

Little did they know, the Liu Family could no longer protect themselves; how could they care for them?

"You are fired!" At that moment, the person in charge of them came forward and announced.

"What? Why?" At this, Liu Shinian and the others panicked.

Though circumstances here were very miserable, at least they could manage to scrape by.

But, if they left here, they truly didn’t know how to survive.

"The Liu Family was kicked out of the Liu Family’s business; do you think you can stay?" The other party sneered, looking down on them.

"What? How could the Liu Family?" Upon hearing this, Liu Ji and others were even more shocked.

"How could it be impossible? The Liu Family had to repay over two billion, compensating all the shares in the Liu Family’s business, now leaving only ten percent of shares and surrendering control of the Liu Family’s business."

"What?" Hearing the other party’s words, a few of them were stunned. Now, they understood just how dire the Liu Family’s situation was.

"Get lost!" After a furious shout, the opposing party heartlessly kicked them out.

"What should we do? What can we do?" Walking down the street, Liu Shinian and others looked panic-stricken.

"Why don’t we look for a job?" Liu Qi suggested.

"A job? With your current state, do you think anyone would hire you?" Liu Ji sneered.

"What else? Are we just going to starve to death?" Liu Qi protested.

"Why don’t we go back and find sister? Surely, sister won’t ignore us," Liu Ji suddenly brightened, proposing hesitatingly.

"Okay, let’s go back and see." Jin Er also nodded, feeling joyful.

The days of suffering made her regret the decision she made back then, yearning every moment to return to Liu Xue.

To them, the time spent by Liu Xue’s side was their happiest period, yet they hadn’t realized how to cherish it.

"But, will sister still care about us?" Liu Qi replied weakly.

Indeed, they were well aware that Liu Xue was likely not to bother with them.

"Better to try than not; she’s my own daughter. I refuse to believe she won’t care about me." Liu Shinian and Jin Er answered, thick-skinned.

Thus, they grandly headed to Liu Xue’s villa.

They even thought of words to persuade Liu Xue on their way.

But upon arrival, they were dumbfounded; Liu Xue wasn’t at the villa, and they could hardly get in.

At the same time, they were chased away by security, pitifully...
