The Capital's Dragon Doctor

"I trust your ability to get things done. You're dismissed for now. Keep a closer eye on that faction's movements."

Lin Feng waved his hand, dismissing the man in black. The man immediately departed with a respectful bow, knowing the matter was settled.

Lin Feng sat in his chair, quietly savoring the tea in his cup. Its fragrant aroma was rich and refreshing; it was clearly a priceless blend.

Gently blowing on the steam rising from his cup, Lin Feng's lips curled into a wicked smile. "Now that you've come to Great Xia, don't even think about escaping."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with a domineering air, as if he were declaring an inescapable fate.

「Xijing City.」

「Black Gold Group Headquarters Building.」

SLAM—

Dong Jianyu slammed his palm on the table, and the temperature in the entire room seemed to plummet by several degrees.

Dong Jianyu stared down at his employees with a dark expression. They were all silent as mice, not daring to make the slightest sound. They knew Dong Jianyu was furious.

"What's the status of the matter I assigned you yesterday?"

Dong Jianyu said in a low voice.

"Reporting to the Chairman, all of our joint projects ran into obstructions last night. We can't get in touch with our partners, either. It's likely they've all been poached."

A rather beautiful woman in business attire walked in. This was Dong Jianyu's most capable assistant, Zhao Lingling.

"Was I not clear enough?"

Dong Jianyu said with a frown.

A glint of wisdom shone in Zhao Lingling's beautiful eyes. After a moment of silence, she said, "Chairman, our opponent this time is incredibly powerful. Their objective is very clear: they're coming for us."

Hearing this, the veins on Dong Jianyu's hands bulged. Of course, he knew why this was happening.

'The Wang Family opposed Lin Feng, and I sided with them. Now that the Wang Family's young master is dead, it's my turn to pay the price for picking the wrong side!'

"Damn it!"

"Lin Feng himself isn't even bothering with me. It's just a pack of his dogs! If they really cause a scene, isn't he afraid of ruining his reputation?!"

Dong Jianyu was consumed by rage, wishing he could grind Lin Feng's bones to dust.

'I'm afraid I might need Lin Feng's help to solve this... But with his personality, there's no way he'd help me, right?'

At this point, Dong Jianyu had completely lost his bearings. The recent events had been so bizarre that they had caught him completely off guard.

'I originally thought it would be simple to suppress Lin Feng using my standing in the Lin Group. Who could have imagined it would turn out like this?'

'Lin Feng actually dared to fight back. That was something he had never expected. The guy's nerve was unbelievable!'

"We need to take some necessary measures. Otherwise, we'll be forced into a defensive position."

A wise glint shone in Zhao Lingling's eyes. After years of following Dong Jianyu, she had learned a great deal and was no longer as naive as when she had just graduated.

"Fine. Get it done as soon as possible," Dong Jianyu said, grinding his teeth. "I'd like to see what kind of trouble this Lin Feng can possibly stir up."

His fists were clenched and his expression was savage, a clear sign that his hatred for Lin Feng had reached its absolute limit.

"Yes, sir!"

Zhao Lingling accepted her orders and left, leaving Dong Jianyu alone in his office, seething with rage.

He knew, in truth, that all of this was happening simply because of the company Lin Feng had opened for his wife.

Though he was loath to admit it, in Lin Feng's eyes, the great Chairman of the Black Gold Group was nothing more than an insignificant nobody.

His company's contracts being snatched, his business deals being severed—all of it was just a deliberate offering from various factions trying to curry favor with Lin Feng.

...

RING-A-LING...

The crisp, pleasant sound of a bell rang out abruptly. Lin Feng closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

"Looks like it's going to be another sleepless night. I hope you've come better prepared this time."

Lin Feng murmured to himself, then pushed the door open and walked out.

Today, the Mingyun Group—the company Lin Feng had established for Su Yanxue—was bustling with activity. A large number of Jingxi City's top-tier business people had come to show their support.

In the end, they all wanted to use Su Yanxue's company to build a connection with Lin Feng. After all, he was their only real option.

And in the eyes of these tycoons, who knew a little of the truth, Lin Feng was the representative of an utterly terrifying power.

An Ancient Martial Artist, the heir of a hidden sect, and what's more, the Young Master of the Lin Group, known as the number one in Great Xia!

Any one of these identities was enough to shake Xijing City to its core, yet they all belonged to a single person!

"Mr. Lin, it is an immense honor to be able to see you at this banquet today."

A man in his fifties or sixties approached Lin Feng, observing him while making polite small talk.

The people beside him all wore fawning expressions as they looked at Lin Feng. They were all there to suck up to him, to do nothing more than curry favor.

Lin Feng swept his gaze over them, a faint smile on his lips. "Heh, there's no need to seek me out specifically. I'm just an outsider today, here to accompany my wife."

Beside him, Su Yanxue, dressed in a stunning gown, had a sweet smile on her lovely face. She held Lin Feng's arm, nestling against his side like a delicate bird.

Lin Feng's words left them speechless. One by one, they retreated awkwardly to the side. These were all prominent figures in Xijing City; who could have expected to be given the cold shoulder at Mingyun Group's celebration banquet?

'Hmph, a bunch of sycophants. Just wait until I solve this problem. I'll trample every last one of you underfoot.'

Watching the scene from the side, Dong Jianyu snorted coldly, his heart filled with contempt for these people.

"President Dong, what do you think we should do? Our stock is repeatedly hitting its lower limit. Should we ask Lin Feng for help?"

Dong Jianyu's assistant asked in a low voice beside him.

Dong Jianyu's expression shifted constantly. He had no idea what to do. He was in a predicament he couldn't get out of.

"Stall for now," Dong Jianyu said in a deep voice. "If I can't resolve this, I'll definitely lose my company. It will suffer immense damage, and I'll be dragged down with it."

He knew from reliable information that the Wang Family had once again sent people to Xijing to settle the score with Lin Feng. As long as he could hold out through this period until the Wang Family's people arrived, he could smoothly get rid of Lin Feng.

"How long do we have to stall?"

"Until they arrive. Once the Wang Family gets here, we can rest easy. As long as he dares to come to Xijing City, it's like a lamb walking into a tiger's den."
