After Xue Ming Tai left, Sister Ying and the other two Elite Offspring also left the waterside pavilion.

Three other young men, bored from waiting and suffering from burns caused by a cigarette, did so as well.

They, too, with faces aching from burn wounds, left the pavilion at Little Mirror Lake.

Only Fang Tang and Fan Song waited uneasily for Luo Ming Xia.

More than twenty minutes later, Luo Ming Xia rushed in hurriedly.

Fang Tang's eyes brightened, and he hastily went up to her.

"Cousin, how did it go, what did Xue Ming Tai say?"

Slap!

Luo Ming Xia swung her arm round and gave Fang Tang a heavy slap across the face.

His broken-legged glasses flew off, and he spun around, collapsing to the ground.

Fang Tang was stunned by the blow.

He covered his burning cheek, sobbing, "Cousin, why are you…"

Luo Ming Xia's phoenix eyes widened as she glared at Fang Tang.

"You know very well what mischief you've been up to," she said.

"Uncle Yu has already shown me all the surveillance footage; what more is there to say?"

"Ah, there's surveillance?"

Fang Tang and Fan Song felt a chill run down their spines.

They certainly hadn't expected Jingshui Villa, in its aesthetic reverence of nature, to be equipped with surveillance everywhere.

Luo Ming Xia, seeing the five men's despairing faces, grew even more angry.

"You purposely burned someone's car with cigarette butts, provoked a drag race, bet large sums on it, and reneged when you lost."

"As a result, you got taught a harsh lesson and then came running to Young Master Ming Tai to be the first to complain; huh, you guys are really something else, you've completely shamed me."

She scoffed coldly, "And you thought the security at Jingshui Villa was weak?"

"That you could just run amok and call white black, laughable!"

Luo Ming Xia grew increasingly furious as she spoke.

She was about to surge forward to teach Fang Tang a lesson when she was vigorously held back by Fan Song.

Fang Tang's heart sank into an icy pit.

In distress, he pleaded with Luo Ming Xia, "Cousin, I know I was wrong. I was jealous because Jiayi and this guy were close, so I did something foolish."

"Please, speak to Young Master Ming Tai, let us save some face; don't expel us from the Villa. How could I continue to mingle in our circles otherwise?"

At this, Fan Song, too, like a dog that has lost its home, implored Luo Ming Xia tirelessly.

Luo Ming Xia snorted softly, "Afraid now? If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place!"

After berating Fang Tang for a good while, her tone finally softened, "Fang Tang, for the sake of my deceased aunt, I've already pleaded with Young Master Ming Tai on your behalf."

"He's agreed not to pursue this matter. But take heed, never cross Yang Fei again."

She then lowered her voice.

"From what I've observed, that Yang Fei is by no means a simple character."

"Moreover, he has a very close relationship with Xue Ming Tai. He's someone you can't afford to offend, not even I dare to."

"What, that lowlife is associated with Young Master Ming Tai?"

Fang Tang and Fan Song were both dumbfounded.

Luo Ming Xia's expression was very grave.

She hesitated, then said seriously, "This is just my guess, I hope my guess isn't true."

"But whatever the case, remember, never provoke that guy again."

Fang Tang and Fan Song nodded repeatedly.

After Luo Ming Xia left these final words, she turned and walked away.

Only Fang Tang and Fan Song were left, staring at each other wide-eyed.

Both could see the deep resentment in each other's eyes.

"Brother Song, are we just going to let this go?"

"My Jiayi was taken by him, your thirty million were swindled by him too, and now I've even been hit by my cousin... I simply can't accept this."

Fang Tang's hairstylist-fixed hair was somewhat disheveled.

His eyes were filled with hatred.

Fan Song, however, hesitated.

If Yang Fei and Xue Mingtai really had connections, then this person's background was not something he could afford to mess with.

"Rest assured, this bastard is really just an odd-job man at a hotel, I can swear to heaven."

"If he really had connections with Xue Mingtai, how would he end up in such a place?"

Fang Tang saw Fan Song's hesitation and assured him emphatically.

He didn't wait for Fan Song to speak, and harshly added, "If the two of us can't even handle a hotel odd-job man, what face do we have to keep mixing in this circle?"

"What will everyone think of us? Besides, Brother Song, can you really swallow this grievance?"

After hearing Fang Tang's words, old and new hatred surged in Fan Song's heart.

He put aside his doubts and fiercely said, "You're right, no one has ever dared to humiliate me like this since I was young, we must settle this account clearly."

Fang Tang, seizing the opportunity, added more fuel to the fire.

He earnestly said, "Brother Song, I know you were swindled out of thirty million by this guy, but I have a way to help you cover this loss within a month."

"And, by then, you'll also earn a big sum of money, just as long as you help me get rid of this kid."

Upon hearing this, Fan Song immediately perked up.

He had impulsively gambled with Yang Fei in a car race and ended up losing thirty million.

This huge financial hole had always been a sore point for him.

Fang Tang smiled smugly, "The old city area of Yannan City is about to start its redevelopment project, and I happen to have the new district planning map in my hands."

"The directive has already been issued, and it's said that the compensation for demolition is very high, you see..."

At this point, he paused slightly, casting a sideways glance at Fan Song's expression.

Indeed, Fan Song only hesitated for a moment before he realized what was happening and suddenly burst with joy.

Any businessman with a brain would know what this news meant; it was like a gold mine landing on his head.

"Good, we'll fight with this kid to the death."

Fan Song made a prompt decision and shook Fang Tang's hand.

Fang Tang smiled contentedly and softly said, "I rushed out today, the designs are shrunk in my car."

"After dinner, I'll give the designs to you, Brother Song, but you must keep it confidential; this document is top secret."

Fan Song immediately swore an oath and said to Fang Tang, "Brother, you're giving me a chance to get rich, I won't forget you."

"I plan to invest twenty billion in this land acquisition, and thirty percent of the profits will be yours."

Fang Tang chuckled and, putting his arm around his shoulder, walked outside.

"Making money isn't the most important thing; the most important thing is how to deal with Yang Fei, this bastard."

"Exactly, this lousy lowlife has ruined us, don't worry, I have plenty of ways to deal with him."

...

The two men talked as they walked away gradually.

Just then, from behind a clump of canna flowers, a figure emerged.

He was tall and upright, slyly grinning, his eyes rolling non-stop.

He looked utterly lazy, giving Fang Tang and Fan Song the middle finger.

It was Yang Fei!
