The birthday banquet culminated after another two hours.
During the last two hours, the table that attracted the most attention was naturally the table where Xie Feng was sitting. The reasons why people’s eyes gathered at the same place were varied; some were looking at the top quality beauties, other women were looking at the most handsome man in the place ….. But if there was one central reason it was undoubtedly Xie Feng, who had become the source of the trouble.
Many people were eager to see how he was going to get out of the situation he was in. But while all these people thought he was a dead man, Xie Feng actually felt that something was obviously wrong.
Why? Simple. Ever since he had given his “gift” to Yao Mei, Xie Feng found that this girl was constantly paying attention to him and her gaze wandered in his direction more often than one might call normal. When Xie Feng would stand up she would follow him with her eyes, when he would leave the party, Yao Mei seemed to find some excuse to go out with her classmates and leave the party as well.
‘Could it be that this girl fell in love with my handsomeness?’ he thought narcissistically as he smiled indifferently. Although he didn’t know the reason, he also didn’t care too much since from his point of view, they probably wouldn’t meet again in the real world since he wouldn’t be returning to Beijing anytime soon, and the chances of meeting in the virtual world on good terms weren’t very high either considering they were both standing on opposite sides.
After the birthday banquet was over Xie Feng quietly left the place. He boarded the Audi A10 after opening the door for Gu Qianxue and Xie Yao, and drove to the Gu Family’s house.
However, before leaving, Shen Xinya stopped Xie Feng and talked to him for the first time after he made a proposal to live by his side.
“My concert will be held in Shanghai in a little over a week. I hope you can attend and… We will meet again soon.” She talked with a somewhat mysterious smile, which confused Xie Feng. Still, he nodded and said goodbye to her and Yin Yue.
“How are you? Did you enjoy the party?” Xie Feng looked in the rearview mirror of the car and asked with a smile.
Gu Qianxue chuckled softly and said playfully, “I certainly had fun. Unlike in the past, this time I could chat with people without worrying about things like status or having to guard against fake smiles that hide daggers…. But I think the person who had the most fun tonight was you hehehe~”
Xie Yao also nodded, but just as she was about to say something, Xie Feng’s cell phone rang.
He apologized and took the call, “Xie Feng. Who is this?”
“Don’t you have my number?”
Xie Feng blinked several times before smiling bitterly, “Sorry father-in-law, I didn’t see the caller ID.”
“Father-in-law? A fart!” Gu Pojun’s voice thundered from the other side, causing the two beauties inside the car to laugh quietly. Clearly Xie Feng had done it on purpose.
“All kidding aside.” Gu Pojun’s voice turned serious and reprimanded, “Brat, do you even know how much trouble you’ve caused tonight?”
“Mmm… I have a rough idea.” Xie Feng said casually.
It was obvious from the tone of his voice that he was not sorry or worried in the least about what had just happened.
“You…” Gu Pojun seemed to want to say something but in the end he regretted it and sighed as he said, “If you’re heading to my house you should change your course.”
“Oh? What’s the reason?” Xie Feng raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“Of course, it’s because of that old thing called Nangong Wentian.” Gu Pojun said upset. “After what you did today do you think it would all end easily? Not only did you kiss my daughter, who was engaged to Nangong Lei, but you also called him a dog in front of a crowd of people!”
“So?” Xie Feng continued driving at a somewhat moderate speed and asked casually.
“That you now have to fight whether you like it or not!” Gu Pojun growled. “The only reason you were able to get out of Yao House safely was because me and the other three old geezers stopped Nangong Wentian before he did something stupid. But he said he was definitely going to look for you to settle the score…. Even if he had to go to your house.”
Xie Feng narrowed his eyes and a terrifying flash crossed his eyes.
Screech!
The wheels of the car immediately stopped and when the Audi A10 had come to a complete stop, Xie Feng resumed his speech:
“When and where?”
“*Sigh…*” Gu Pojun sighed with tiredness. He clearly heard the change in Xie Feng’s tone and it was obvious that he was pissed off now…. Things could no longer be settled with words. “Head to the new military base. You know, the one that was built after the Demonic Storm event…. Nangong Wentian wish to do it tonight.”
Xie Feng said nothing. He cut the call short without saying a word in return and turned the steering wheel of the car, making the two beauties scream. In fact, Xie Feng was so angry that he had forgotten about them.
“I’m sorry!” He quickly apologized.
“Big brother Xie Feng…” Xie Yao seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
“It’s Nangong Wentian right? “On the other hand, Gu Qianxue was simple and straightforward. She asked but her tone of voice was full of assurance.
“You don’t need to worry about anything.” Xie Feng said casually, but his eyes at this moment were so terrifying that fortunately Xie Yao could not see them. “In less than two hours we will be sleeping peacefully. That’s a promise.”
“Just kill him. You don’t need to worry about anything else.” Gu Qianxue said coldly. This personality marked a huge contrast compared to the personality she displayed in front of everyone normally. “If the Nangong Family dares to look for trouble for you later…. Hmph… My Gu Family is not a toy.”
Xie Feng did not respond and simply sped up. Trouble? If he didn’t seek trouble for others it was a blessing, but now that someone dared to threaten the safety of his home, Xie Feng had to show everyone the consequences.

On the outskirts of Beijing, New Military Base.
After what happened during the event that mankind called the Demonic Storm, this place was completely off-limits to civilians. Only the military had the right to enter and the security was extremely strict since several experiments were carried out with the wind energy that still occasionally hit the place.
But at this very moment, several people were waiting anxiously while looking into the distance as if they were waiting for something. The most remarkable thing was that the men were dressed in suits and ties while the women wore elegant evening dresses. Even so, the nearby soldiers did not dare to disrespect any of these people and concentrated on inspecting the perimeter carefully.
These people were; Gu Pojun, Yao Xiyu, Mu Xue, Yang Jie, and Nangong Wentian. The five patriarchs of the five major families were standing there but that was not all.
In addition to the five patriarchs, also on the scene were Mu Wuying, Mu Yin, Yang Tian, Yang Li’er, Yao Zenyu, Yao Mei, Nangong Lei and the wives of the four patriarchs. After leaving the Yao Family house, everyone had gathered here again and due to the fact that Nangong Wentian was so furious, no one even had time to change clothes.
“Wentian, you must tear that damn brat into a million pieces!” Yao Ruolan, wife of Nangong Wentian gritted her teeth in fury and bellowed. Orange-colored flames escaped from her body occasionally as a sign of her loss of emotional control.
“Not only did he ruin my young son’s life…. But he also wants to destroy the reputation of my eldest son and the entire Nangong family.” Nangong Wentian said slowly. But his calm voice deceived no one because several lightning snakes danced around him in such a way that no one dared to be too close to him. “After showing that brat that he is not invincible under the heavens I will peel off his skin, cut off his flesh, drain his blood, and set his corpse on fire! Even that girl surnamed Xie won’t have a better end than little Chen!”
