The Forsaken's Revenge

Chapter 258 Assassination?


"Father, you've been the target of an assassination?" Feng Yueyue's expression changed instantly. She hadn't received any news of this beforehand, and everyone else present was just as shocked.

Feng Jingsheng was the pillar of the Jingsheng Group. If anything happened to the Chairman, the company would likely face significant trouble.

"Mr. Chen, regardless, let's eat first. Please, sit down, we can talk then," Feng Jingsheng said with a wry smile as he shook his head.

"Alright," Chen Zheng nodded. He handed his cloak to Zhao Feng and walked slowly toward the dining table.

Gao Feng hurried over, beaming, and personally pulled out a chair for Chen Zheng.

The others present were stunned speechless by this scene.

They knew exactly who Gao Feng is! The president of the Association! Even high-ranking city officials have to show him the utmost courtesy. It's unbelievable that he's personally pulling out a chair for a young man. What is this young man's background?

Initially, many of them had looked down on Chen Zheng, thinking he was just an ordinary guy. But now, their attitudes changed instantly. If even Gao Feng treated him with such respect, what right did they have to belittle him?

Chen Zheng had just sat down when Feng Jingsheng personally poured him a full glass of wine.

"Mr. Chen," Feng Jingsheng said directly after filling the glass, "To be frank, I invited you here because I hope you will take charge of our executives' security."

"How audacious!" Zhao Feng frowned, his face filled with displeasure. "The 'War God' is a man of incredible status. How dare you ask him to be a mere bodyguard for the Feng Family?"

Although he stood beside Chen Zheng, his powerful demeanor and pride had never suggested he was an ordinary subordinate. Now, that aura erupted from him, causing everyone's hearts to pound in their chests.

This is unbelievable! Even an ordinary guard has such an intimidating presence. What kind of mysterious identity does this young man possess? Everyone grew incredibly curious.

"Zhao Feng, let Mr. Feng finish," Chen Zheng said with a casual wave of his hand. Only then did Zhao Feng silently step back.

Feng Jingsheng shook his head with a bitter expression. "Mr. Chen, you must have heard about what happened last night. The competition between the Jingsheng Group and the Ronghua Group has reached a dangerous level. Several of my executives have already faced blatant threats from them."

"I have seen all sorts of things in my life. If my opponent only used business tactics, I certainly wouldn't be afraid. However, that bastard Xu Wenhui is now resorting to all sorts of despicable methods. He has begun threatening the safety of those around me, and I cannot stand by and do nothing!"

At this point, Feng Jingsheng paused and looked at the people around him. "The few people I called here today are the ones who fought by my side to build this empire. Everyone has made it through hard times, and I don't want them to fall prey to malicious schemes just as they've begun to enjoy a few good days."

"I know that you have an unfathomably powerful force behind you, Mr. Chen. So I implore you to lend us your aid."

As he finished speaking, Feng Jingsheng raised his glass. The others in the room also stood up, looking at Chen Zheng with intense gazes.

"Father," Feng Yueyue frowned, a hint of displeasure in her voice. "We already have Uncle Gao to help us. Why did you bring him into this?"

"Miss, you may not know this, but yesterday, I was almost severely injured while protecting the Chairman," Gao Feng said, slowly shaking his head, his expression filled with bitterness. "The force that the Ronghua Group has hired this time is beyond what our association can handle alone."

The crowd was instantly stunned. They didn't even need to consider the Association's immense power—it was responsible for security at the provincial level. Yet even the Association couldn't handle this? Just how powerful were the people the Ronghua Group had found?

"Mr. Chen, as long as you agree to take charge of our executives' security, I'm willing to give you ten percent of the Jingsheng Group's shares," Feng Jingsheng stated directly, using the opportunity to state his terms.

The crowd was stunned silent.

Ten percent of the shares! The Group is worth tens of billions in total, so ten percent would be several billion. The Chairman's offer is too extravagant!

"Father, that's too impulsive! I don't agree!" Feng Yueyue cried out immediately. "Besides, I don't believe someone who would abandon hostages for personal gain can be trusted with our safety!" She brought up the past incident, her voice cold.

Since the young lady had voiced her opposition, the others naturally echoed her.

"Yes, Chairman, this is too significant. It should be discussed by the board before a decision is made."

"Ten percent is far too much! Even hiring top experts from abroad wouldn't cost this much!"

Feng Jingsheng's most trusted executives also voiced their opposition. Some even suspected that Chen Zheng had somehow deceived Feng Jingsheng to elicit such an offer. The price of ten percent of the company's shares was unprecedented and simply irrational.

Just then, a maid carrying a fruit platter approached the table. With everyone engrossed in the discussion, no one paid any mind to a mere servant. No one noticed the cold smile playing on her lips.

Seizing the opportunity, she whipped out a dagger and lunged toward Feng Jingsheng with terrifying speed.

"Father!"

"Chairman!"

The color drained from everyone's faces, but it was too late to react.

At that critical moment, Chen Zheng casually flicked his hand. A streak of white light flashed by, and the maid let out an agonizing scream. A fork had pierced straight through her palm, and the dagger clattered to the floor.

Immediately afterward, more sounds came from the surrounding area. Moments later, several figures appeared, each holding a servant captive.

"War God, all spies within the Feng residence have been apprehended," they reported in cold, unified voices.

Feng Yueyue and everyone else present were utterly and completely shocked.

Only then did Chen Zheng slowly pick up his wine glass. "I'll take this deal."

Everyone stared at the kneeling maids on the floor, never having imagined the infiltration ran so deep.
