Hu Manyun's words were arrogant and audacious.
She looked into the camera, her eyes and eyebrows filled with disdain. Addressing the camera, she said, "A certain company, are you ready?"
Everyone was extremely surprised upon hearing Hu Manyun's words. It was obvious that she was deliberately provoking trouble and issuing a direct challenge.
Feng Yu stared at Hu Manyun on the screen, knowing full well that she was speaking to her. After a moment's thought, she realized that this was going to be a troublesome matter. Now that Hu Manyun and Locke had joined forces, they had another strong backing in the business world.
Just a few days later, Feng Yu received an invitation from them. It was an invitation from Locke to celebrate the start of his group, and he had invited every business tycoon.
On the invitation, there was a special note:
"If you don't want her to get hurt, you'd better come."
Feng Yu clenched the invitation tightly in her hand, her face looking grim. After informing Fu Qianshen about this, he suggested accompanying her.
However, Fu Qianshen didn't have an invitation. It was obvious to everyone that this was Locke's intention.
"This might be a trap. In any case, be careful," Fu Qianshen said to Feng Yu slowly.
Feng Yu naturally understood.
When the banquet arrived, Feng Yu walked in on Fu Qianshen's arm. But when they showed the invitation, the bodyguard glanced at Fu Qianshen and said, "Sorry, the invitation only has your name on it. This gentleman can't enter."
Fu Qianshen's face immediately darkened.
Feng Yu bit her lip, looking a bit conflicted. Looking at Fu Qianshen, she could only console him, "Don't worry. I'll be fine."
Fu Qianshen held Feng Yu's face in his hands. "I'll wait for you outside. Remember to contact me if anything happens."
Seeing how worried Fu Qianshen was about her, Feng Yu felt a sense of security well up inside her. She showed a happy smile, nodded, and then walked towards the banquet hall.
This scene was seen by Locke. He swirled the red wine in his hand and took a small sip.
"Why didn't I ever see you show such an expression when you were with me? Am I really not as good as Fu Qianshen?" Locke's words were filled with gloom.
He waved his hand, signaling someone to come over. After whispering a few words to the man, the man looked extremely shocked.
"If you succeed, you'll get 100 million."
The man nodded vigorously in agreement.
After the man left, Hu Manyun appeared. She glanced at the man who had left in a hurry and said angrily, "So disrespectful!"
"Mr. Luo, I've prepared everything you asked for. What's your next plan?"
"Kill Fu Qianshen."
When Hu Manyun heard Locke's words, her heart skipped a beat. The words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat. She hesitated.
"Mr... Mr. Luo, why... why do you want to do this?"
Locke glanced at the talkative Hu Manyun. With just one look, she didn't dare to say another word and could only remain silent.
The banquet began. At this banquet, many business tycoons came up to chat with Feng Yu. Naturally, she didn't refuse, as this was a good opportunity to expand her network.
Just then, Hu Manyun came down the stairs. The moment she did, the business tycoons who had been surrounding Feng Yu immediately rushed towards Hu Manyun.
The current Edward Group had a lot of resources and great development potential. Many business tycoons saw this as an opportunity and flocked to them.
Most importantly, Locke's business was introduced from abroad, which made them extremely optimistic.
Hu Manyun was very proud to see everyone flocking to her. She glanced at Feng Yu and showed a look of disdain, as if provoking her.
Feng Yu didn't care at all. She was just wondering what Locke's purpose was for inviting her here.
She looked around but still didn't see Locke.
Just then, Hu Manyun walked towards Feng Yu. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two of them.
Everyone knew that Hu Manyun and Feng Yu didn't get along. This was really something to watch.
Hu Manyun walked up to Feng Yu, crossed her arms, and looked down at her with a sarcastic tone.
"Feng Yu, Feng Yu, you won't be able to be so arrogant for long." Hu Manyun's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Feng Yu to hear.
"If you're here to mock me, I think you've got the wrong person," Feng Yu said slowly as she picked up her wine glass and took a sip.
Seeing Feng Yu's attitude, Hu Manyun was extremely angry. She glared at her. Just then, she felt a strange look. She glanced at the second floor and immediately locked eyes with someone.
That look sent shivers down her spine.
Suddenly, Hu Manyun said anxiously, "Mr. Luo wants you to go to the private room on the second floor to see him. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
Feng Yu bit her lip and involuntarily clenched her fists. Finally, she slowly walked towards the second floor.
After Feng Yu left, Hu Manyun's expression wasn't any better. She received a message from Mr. Luo, instructing her to deal with Fu Qianshen.
At this time, Feng Yu had reached the second floor. She knocked on one of the private rooms. Before entering, Feng Yu turned on the location and recording functions so that Fu Qianshen, who was waiting in the car, could know her situation all the time.
The door slowly opened. It was pitch - black inside, making it hard to see. Finally, a chair slowly turned around, and Feng Yu saw Locke sitting on it.
"Yu'er, long time no see. I didn't expect you to really come. I'm so happy," Locke said slowly as he stood up and walked towards Feng Yu.
Seeing this, Feng Yu stepped back continuously.
"Tell me, what on earth is your purpose!" Feng Yu frowned tightly and stared at Locke in front of her, shouting.
Locke looked at Feng Yu as if she were a bristling kitten and immediately showed a doting smile.
"Yu'er, you weren't like this before. You're really disappointing me," Locke said as he came to Feng Yu's side and stroked the hair on her chest.
Feng Yu took a big step back, and her hair slipped through Locke's fingers.
"If you're here to flirt with me, there's nothing to talk about between us!"
Locke suddenly let out a soft laugh and then sat back down. He lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke with a dazed look in his eyes.
"Do you want to know Wu Suqin's current situation?" Locke suddenly snapped his fingers, and the screen in front of them immediately lit up.
On the screen was a video of Wu Suqin being bullied on the ground. She was beaten black and blue and could only kneel on the ground, constantly begging for mercy. She grabbed Locke's leg and shouted for him to let her go.
Seeing this scene, Feng Yu was heartbroken. It was all because of her that Wu Suqin had ended up like this!
"Does it hurt? Do you know why she's like this?" Locke's voice was very slow, as if on purpose.
"Because you betrayed me."
