Chapter 386 - It turns out it could be like this… (I)

One day passed.

However, this one day felt like weeks, years, and even an eternity to some people, especially the suffering ones.

Linfeng was making sure that all media channels and newspapers would know of Xiong De's crimes. He wanted Xiong De to feel ashamed even when he was in prison. He wanted Xiong De's ancestors to blame the sc.u.m for all the evil things he had done.

Xiong De would never have an easy life, until he dies.

At this moment, his phone rang.

"Hey, little bro! How are you doing?"

"..." 

Linfeng checked the number again. It was only a string of numbers, with no caller ID.

This was his personal phone and only important people should have this number. Now, who was this unknown idiot being overly friendly with him over the phone?

He did not remember becoming this close to such people.

"I'm sorry but who are you?"

"...." The man on the other line turned silent.

"If it's nothing important, then I'm hanging up." Then Linfeng really hung up the call.

Unknown person: '....'

Then the phone rang again after a few seconds. 

Linfeng ignored it and continued with his arrangements for a while. But the person calling was adamant on having Linfeng answer the phone. Thus, after a long time ringing, he answered for a second time. 

If it was really nothing, then he would block this number.

"Hey Linfeng, it's me! William! You punk! You stayed in my hotel for a long time yet you didn't even save my number! How ungrateful are you?"

(A/n: Flashback- William was the one Xiong Zhi met in Xiong Wuyue's birthday when XW became the meme of the year. Refer chapter 233. William was one of the five kings- which was known as six kings now)

"...Oh." Linfeng finally realized who the man was. That annoying tone, the way he spoke, and the rudeness. It was a bit familiar.

"...Uncle?"

"..." ╬ 

Uncle your butt! He was only thirty!

What—he was thirty!

Oh no! He was already thirty!

William suddenly turned silent at the sudden realization of his age. In a few more years, he would be a middle-aged man.

"I'm very busy, if there's nothing you want say, I will hang up."

William woke up from his daze. 

"Hold on, you damned brat! I am calling because the bait you threw in the past year got bitten already by that fish."

Linfeng put his phone into loudspeaker and put it down. It turned out to be important news. 

He opened his laptop and checked his emails while asking, "Which bait?"

"The XX Company."

Linfeng's fingers halted a bit before continuing. "Tell me more about it."

"Am I your assistant? You can ask your subordinates for this."

"Alright. Thanks for the heads-up." 

He was about to hang up when William spoke again.

"Hey! You are really going to ask them?"

"...Why not? You said to ask them yourself."

"Geez... Fine, you win. I never won against you, have I?"

"...?" What was this uncle talking about?

"You really hold grudges, Linfeng. Just because I saw your first love in her wet shirt?"

(A/n: Don't be fooled by William, it's not a shirt but a dress. Refer chapter 233, the grudges Linfeng had for William started in chapter 237)

Then Xiong Zhi's figure wearing only a white shirt, all wet, appeared in Linfeng's mind. Her wet hair dr.a.p.ed over her shoulders, and her wet shirt stuck to her skin, accentuating her seductive figure more.

Linfeng's eyes darkened. "If you are going to spout nonsense, I'm seriously hanging up."

"The XX Company is asking us to buy their shares! The CEO wanted to talk to us!" William said in one breath. This man..did he touch his inverse scale accidentally? 

Linfeng halted. "...Buy them."

"Huh?"

"Just buy their shares. Then talk to him, promise him something, but not really promising him anything. Thanks for the effort."

"What?" 

That was contradictory!

Toot. Toot.

"..." William looked at his phone. That damned brat really hung up on him. He was just too excited to report it to their youngest brother, yet he got thrown away like this huhu. He was really a kind and lovable unlcle-pei!- brother!

After the call, Linfeng really blocked William's number from his private phone. He did really hold grudges. Especially those people who coveted his Young Miss.

On the second day, Linfeng received an email from one of the five kings, Eugene, that they bought most of the shares of the XX company. There was also an attached doc.u.ment detailing the deal they made with the CEO of the XX Company.

Linfeng cheered up with the news. He happily went to Xiong Zhi's office inside the Xiong Empire's building.

He informed the news to his Young Miss. "Young Miss, Xiong De finally took the bait. His largest XX Company overseas is transferred to the Five Kings."

Xiong Zhi was surprised. That was a huge risk yet Xiong De really did it. He finally fell into desperation to be fooled like this.

She smiled. "That's good to hear." 

Then she remembered it was the Five Kings' business.

"Will it be really fine with your co-founders?" 

By now, Linfeng had already told her that he joined the Five Kings in creating the large global project. Linfeng did not say outright that the SC Company was his, but it was not difficult to figure out that SC belonged to him, considering the extent of the help SC had done so far for her.

It was just like how she had not told him yet that IHZHi was hers. She wanted to tell him, but she did not really had the opportunity to do so. Maybe he was the same.

Linfeng nodded. "Don't worry. They gave me considerable rights for decision making."

"Besides, when they came to know what kind of things that sc.u.m did to my girlfriend, they too were pissed."

...Girlfriend.

Xiong Zhi unconsciously smiled hearing the term. She turned away from her computer and rested her small smiling face on her hand.
