The country entrusted me to buy an aircraft carrier, Hou Liangping, do you dare to investigate?

Li Ming was intimidated by Huang Feipeng's imposing manner, but then he thought to himself that he was acting under orders and had the Zhong family backing him up, so why should he be afraid of him?

He stiffened his neck and forced a calm expression, saying, "Otherwise what? Huang Feipeng, let me tell you, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you come from a wealthy family! Today, I'm going to take you back and let the law punish you!"

"Law? Hahaha..." Huang Feipeng burst into laughter as if he had heard a hilarious joke, his laughter filled with disdain and mockery. "Li Ming, you're too naive. In this world, power is the only law! Who do you think you are, to talk to me about law?"

"You..." Li Ming's face turned ashen with anger at Huang Feipeng's words, but he was powerless to refute them. He knew that Huang Feipeng was right; in this world, power was the only true principle.

"You..." Li Ming was speechless, his face flushing red and then turning pale, looking like a rooster being strangled. He knew Huang Feipeng was right; in the end, power was the only thing that mattered in this world. He, a mere bureau chief in the capital city, was no different from an ant in front of a behemoth like Huang Feipeng.

Just then, the office door was violently pushed open again, and Cheng Du led a group of men in aggressively. As soon as Cheng Du entered and saw the scene inside, he immediately understood what was going on. He rushed to Li Ming, snatched the gun from his hand, and pinned him to the ground.

"Director Li, why bring so many people here so late? What are you planning to do?" Cheng Du said, while forcefully twisting Li Ming's arm behind his back, making him howl in pain.

Li Ming never dreamed things would turn out this way. He struggled to get up, but Cheng Du held him firmly to the ground, unable to move. He looked at Cheng Du in terror, then at the calm Huang Feipeng, and asked in a trembling voice, "Cheng...Cheng Du, what...what do you want to do? I...I'm following orders..."

"On orders?" Cheng Du sneered, interrupting Li Ming. "On whose orders? The Zhong family? Or the Zhao family? Let me tell you, this is not a place for you to run wild!"

Li Ming was speechless. He realized that he had kicked a hornet's nest. How could he have forgotten that Huang Feipeng had such a ruthless character as Cheng Du by his side!

Li Ming's smile froze. He never expected that the trap he had set would be ruined by Cheng Du, one of his own people!

"Chengdu, are you fucking insane?!" Li Ming roared. "Do you know what you're doing?!"

"Chief Li, of course I know what I'm doing." Cheng Du flicked his cigarette ash, his tone tinged with mockery. "But you, instead of being a perfectly good police chief, you insist on getting involved in this mess. Aren't you afraid of getting burned?"

"You..." Li Ming trembled with anger, but he was speechless. He knew the risks of this operation, but he also knew that if he could capture Huang Feipeng, his status in the Zhong family would rise dramatically, and wealth and honor would be within his grasp!

"Li Ming, Li Ming, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? With your meager abilities, you think you can compete with Brother Peng?" Cheng Du seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a sneer, "I advise you to behave yourself and keep your tail between your legs, or you won't even know how you died!"

Huang Feipeng slowly walked up to Li Ming, looked down at him, and a playful sneer curled at the corner of his mouth: "Director Li, why are you doing this? I told you long ago, if you behaved, I could let you live a few more days. But you insisted on courting death, so don't blame me."

Li Ming was terrified. He struggled desperately, trying to beg Huang Feipeng for mercy, but found himself unable to utter a single word. He then realized that he was truly doomed this time, utterly and completely...

"President Huang, what should we do with him?" Cheng Du glanced at Li Ming, who was slumped on the ground, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes. He had always looked down on guys who would do anything to climb the ladder.

Huang Feipeng remained silent, merely staring coldly at Li Ming as if he were an ant. He knew perfectly well that someone like Li Ming would become as obedient as a dog if given a small reward.

"Take him away and give him a good 'welcome,' let him know who he should mess with and who he shouldn't." Huang Feipeng's voice was icy cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Yes, Mr. Huang!" Cheng Du replied, then gave a wink to his men behind him. Two burly men immediately stepped forward, grabbed Li Ming, and dragged him out of the office like a dead dog.

"You..." Li Ming wanted to say something more, but was stopped by a policeman behind him.

"Director Li, let's retreat first. There might be a trap here!" the policeman said in a low voice, his tone tinged with fear.

Li Ming glanced at his surroundings, then at Cheng Du's amused expression, and immediately had second thoughts. Although he was greedy, he also valued his life; it wasn't worth jeopardizing his future for Huang Feipeng.

"Fine, let's go!" Li Ming glared fiercely at Cheng Du, then turned to leave.

"Wait!" Cheng Du suddenly called out to him, "Did I say you could leave?"

Li Ming paused, turned around, and asked with a grim expression, "What else do you want?"

"It's nothing much. I just wanted to invite Director Li somewhere for a cup of tea and a chat," Cheng Du said, gesturing for Li Ming to join him.

Looking at the police officers behind Cheng Du, Li Ming knew he couldn't avoid it today, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, I'll go!"

After Li Ming left, the atmosphere in the office immediately relaxed. Ye Zi walked over to Huang Feipeng, reached out to straighten his collar, and said with a hint of reproach in her voice, "Why couldn't you be more careful? What if..."

"What if what?" Huang Feipeng pulled Ye Zi into his arms, kissed her forehead, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, these clowns can't do anything to me."

"You're just too confident," Ye Zi said reproachfully, giving him a playful glare, but her eyes were full of sweetness.

“I don’t even need to lift a finger to deal with these small fry; my woman can handle it for me,” Huang Feipeng said, lowering his head to kiss Ye Zi’s lips.

Ye Zi responded shyly, and the two embraced and kissed as if no one else was around, as if the farce that had just happened had never occurred.

After Cheng Du and his men left, a brief silence returned to the office. Huang Feipeng walked to the window, gazing at the brightly lit city lights outside, his deep eyes filled with coldness.
