Super Rich: Obtained Shares of 100 Billion Group at the Beginning

But it is precisely this hidden passage that points directly to the deepest instinct of human nature—selfishness.

Of all those above, the one they fear least is the alliance.

Because the alliance is composed of multiple forces, and each force will inevitably have its own selfish motives.

They come together because of shared interests, but they will inevitably disperse because of those same interests as well.

Just like that empire that could be compared to the beacon of light many years ago.

That empire was composed of multiple forces, and in its early days, it was so powerful that even the United States had to temporarily give way to it.

However, as time went on, the selfish desires of many high-ranking members of the alliance became increasingly difficult to satisfy. Ultimately, due to some external reasons, this vast empire was torn apart and split into multiple countries.

From then on, it lost the strength to compete with the United States.

In terms of the above, the alliance of aristocratic families is similar to this empire. With the help of some means, the alliance will naturally develop rifts due to the discontent of the people.

This is precisely why Shen Muyun didn't want to tell Lu Feng.

Lu Feng is different from them. This outstanding young man has a pure heart. Being exposed to too much darkness will only ruin him.

After leaving Shen Muyun's study, he found Shen Suyuan as agreed.

The two went to the back garden and started building a snowman in an open space.

Lu Feng was in charge of shoveling snow, while Shen Suyuan was in charge of carving decorations to hang on the snowman.

With their combined efforts, it took about two hours for a snowman over 1 meter tall to appear in the back garden.

The snowman looked a bit bulky because Lu Feng had used too much snow, but the bulkiness disappeared under the decorations carved by Shen Suyuan, and was replaced by a kind of simple and cute appearance.

Looking at the chubby and adorable snowman, Shen Suyuan was very satisfied. She tiptoed lightly, with a hint of shyness, and quickly kissed Lu Feng on the cheek.

"Oh, you're taking advantage of me again!"

Lu Feng pretended to be angry, picked up a snowball from the ground, and gently threw it at Shen Suyuan.

His actions were like a switch, opening up Shen Suyuan's Ren and Du meridians.

"Yes, we can have a snowball fight!"

Shen Suyuan's eyes widened, and before Lu Feng could react, she quickly gathered a ball of snow and threw it at him.

The two chased each other in the garden and played for the entire afternoon.

They only stopped fighting when Li Wanqing called them to eat.

At the dinner table, Shen Suyuan recalled her miserable state that afternoon and felt very unconvinced. She once again challenged Lu Feng to a duel to the death tomorrow.

Lu Feng, naturally unwilling to back down, nodded firmly in agreement.

The two children's childlike behavior made Shen Muyun and Li Wanqing unable to help but laugh.

A warm and cozy atmosphere filled the dining table.

After the meal, Shen Suyuan originally planned to stay at Shen Garden.

However, Lu Feng rejected this idea. He prepared a surprise for Shen Suyuan, which could not be carried out in Shen Garden.

So he took Shen Suyuan and left Shen Garden, driving to Zhengqingshan outside the capital.

"Ah Feng, why are you dragging me along like this?"

In the passenger seat of the luxury car, Shen Suyuan asked with a curious expression.

When Lu Feng, who was driving, heard the question, he simply smiled mysteriously.

"You'll see when you get there; it's an absolutely amazing surprise!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Suyuan became even more eager.

The last time Lu Feng said that, she spent a wonderful night on a mountain in the capital.

She still remembers that magnificent fireworks display in her dreams to this day.

The car sped along, quickly leaving the brightly lit city center and heading out of the city.

Shen Suyuan rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window. The streetlights swept past one after another, becoming sparser and sparser, until only the pitch-black night remained.

She couldn't help but glance at Lu Feng again. This guy always had that smug smile on his face, and he wouldn't say a word no matter what she asked, acting all mysterious.

About an hour later, the car stopped at the foot of Zhengqingshan Mountain.

"We're here." Lu Feng parked the car, walked around to open the car door for her, and a refreshing mountain breeze immediately rushed in.

Shen Suyuan wrapped her coat tighter around herself as she got out of the car. Before she could even stand properly, Lu Feng grabbed her hand.

"Let's go up the mountain."

"Huh? Now?"

She looked at the dark mountain path in front of her, with only the vague outline of stone steps. The treetops above her head swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound.

Lu Feng didn't give her time to hesitate and pulled her up the mountain.

The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and it was nighttime, so Lu Feng walked ahead, holding her hand tightly without letting go.

When they encountered steeper sections, he simply half-carried, half-lifted her up the mountain.

At first, Shen Suyuan kept asking questions, but later she could only pant and follow his footsteps with her head down.

After some time, Lu Feng simply carried her on his back and strode up the mountain.

Because he had used a five-fold body enhancement potion and a titanium crystal bone and skin enhancement potion, Lu Feng's speed did not slow down even while carrying Shen Suyuan on his back.

On the contrary, because there was no need to worry about Shen Suyuan not being able to keep up, it was actually much faster.

After walking for more than half an hour, when my legs started to feel weak and tremble, the view suddenly opened up before me.

This is a flat area halfway up the mountain, which looks like it has been deliberately leveled, offering an excellent view.

Shen Suyuan held her knees and caught her breath before she had time to look around.

The starry sky above was unbelievably beautiful.

Without the city lights, the Milky Way stretched across the sky, and countless stars looked like a handful of crushed diamonds, some of them twinkling.

The moon hadn't risen yet, which made the stars appear exceptionally clear.

It looks beautiful, but the mountain wind is really awful.

A gust of wind blew by, and Shen Suyuan shivered. The sweat she had produced while climbing the mountain was chilled to the bone by the wind.

She shrank closer to Lu Feng, rubbing her arms and complaining:

"What kind of surprise is this that we have to see it in such a cold place? I'm practically frozen solid."

Lu Feng didn't say anything, but simply pulled her into his arms, wrapped her in his coat, and then raised his chin, pointing to a spot not far away: "Look, over there."

Shen Suyuan looked in the direction he indicated and then saw a dozen or so figures busy at the other end of the flat ground.

Taking a few steps closer, I could see clearly that it was Nie Zhan and his group, all dressed in black, moving nimbly and making little noise.

"What are you letting them do here? In the middle of the night..." Shen Suyuan asked curiously, peeking out.

"Sir, Madam!"

"The preparations are almost complete."

When Nie Zhan saw them coming, he nodded in greeting and stepped aside.
