Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 693 - Li Chengfengs Domineering Second

Chapter 693: Chapter 693: Li Chengfeng’s Domineering [Second Update] Chapter 693: Chapter 693: Li Chengfeng’s Domineering [Second Update] “I see that Xiao Jie and Ling’er get along quite well; these two children were born to be a pair,” Zhen Jiangjun said with a smile, stroking his beard.

Nangong Yin managed a forced, unsightly smile on his stiff face while his wife, clear-sighted and gregarious, said with a laugh, “They’re young after all, naturally, they have more in common than we do.”

“Dad, when do they plan on holding their wedding?” Zhen Jie’s father asked. Home affairs, big or small, were decided by Zhen Jiangjun. Knowing earlier would mean better preparations could be made.

At the mention of the wedding, Nangong Yin’s hand, holding his wine glass, couldn’t help shaking twice. Just as he was about to speak up to postpone the wedding, he heard Zhen Jiangjun say, “There’s no better day than today; let’s hold it tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow!”

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Even Zhen Jie’s father was somewhat dazed. A matter as serious as marriage wasn’t child’s play, but from Zhen Jiangjun’s expression, it seemed he wasn’t joking.

...

“Dad…” Zhen Jie’s father still wanted to say something when Zhen Jiangjun raised his hand and interrupted, “The two children are fond of each other, getting married sooner is better. I’ve calculated that tomorrow is an auspicious day. The wedding will be held at the State Guesthouse, let’s start preparing now.”

Nangong Yin’s face turned as dark as if dripping with water. Zhen Jiangjun didn’t want to give him a chance to back out, otherwise, why would he be in such a rush to set the matter?

Nangong Yin suddenly felt some regret, regretting that he had brought his daughter here in such a hurry.

From Zhen Jiangjun’s slightly eager attitude, one could glimpse that the matter probably wasn’t as serious as he claimed.

Indeed, after all, it’s the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country; a country couldn’t be eradicated just by talking about it.

Regretfully, it was probably too late to regret it now.

“Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow, my grandson will be joined in matrimony with the eldest daughter of the Nangong family at the State Guesthouse. I hope you all can attend,” Zhen Jiangjun announced from the stage, his aged and deep voice resonating through the grand banquet hall without the need for a microphone.

Nangong Yin’s eyes narrowed slightly, a sliver of murderous and angry intent within them. This old bastard was setting him up!

At this moment, if Nangong Yin suddenly called off the wedding, it would indeed be a disaster.

Zhen Jiangjun was leading him step by step into a pit of fire, truly cunning and conniving.

The guests below were also astonished. A life-changing event was being decided so casually?

Who announces a wedding for the next day at an engagement banquet?

Moreover, both parties were major families. This decision was too casual, disrespectful to either side.

But the guests were also quick-witted. Piecing other things together, it didn’t take long for them to guess the reason behind Zhen Jiangjun’s actions.

“Zhen Jiangjun is in a hurry.”

“He’s tying the Nangong family to the same boat.”

…

Li Xiaoyao and Li Chengfeng took a plane to Jindu, opting for a slightly low-profile approach, as traveling directly by flight might have seemed provocative to the military.

When the two arrived in Jindu, it was already deep into the night.

Hotel, father and son stayed in the same room.

“You rest first, I’ll make a call,” Li Chengfeng said as he took off his coat and, picking up his cell phone, walked to the living room’s floor-to-ceiling window. His broad shoulders were slightly hunched, and Li Xiaoyao couldn’t help feeling a twinge of heartache.

The military had dedicated personnel to liaise with clan leaders and sect leaders of the Eight Great Sects. Li Chengfeng dialed a number, and the dial tone went on for a long time without an answer.

In a high-end residential community in Jindu, a man in his forties who didn’t look a day older was vigorously breaking ground on the back of a young woman with a slim waist and long legs.

“Buzz buzz~”

The cellphone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated without warning, and the woman’s somewhat exaggerated voice drowned out the frequency of the vibration, yet the man’s keen ears caught it.

This phone call was very private, known only to a few people, and all of them were big shots with significant clout.

The man smirked and cursed, “Dammit, what perfect timing.”

“Isn’t he dead?” The man was out of the loop and didn’t know that Li Chengfeng had come out of the Secret Realm.

Startled by the call for a few seconds, the man only pressed the answer button and stayed silent, waiting for the person on the line to speak first.

“Counselor Lin, so late at night, I haven’t disturbed you, have I?”

It was Li Chengfeng’s voice. Counselor Lin couldn’t have misheard. He had dealt with this man for over a decade. Even if he pinched his nose, Lin would recognize his voice.

“You’re still alive?” Counselor Lin still couldn’t help but ask.

“Lucky as ever.”

With no intention of explaining, Li Chengfeng got straight to the point, “Where’s Ling Tian?”

Chilled by the coldness in his voice, Counselor Lin shivered so much that he immediately softened below, tilted his head while holding the phone, and quickly got dressed.

“You’re looking for Ling Tian? Can you tell me what it’s about?”

“You should know better than I do what he has done. Tell me his location.”

Of course, Counselor Lin knew. Ling Tian’s arrogant talk in the Secret Realm was a naked threat.

“Patriarch Li, please calm down. Ling Tian’s actions were indeed rash, but since you’ve returned, let’s put an end to this. Rest assured, I will report this to the higher-ups. The Li Family definitely won’t continue to be treated this way.”

It was people like Counselor Lin’s job to report any possible incidents to the higher-ups at the first opportunity, to prevent any dangerous developments.

“Calm down?” Li Chengfeng scoffed. “Two of my Li Family Elders and a protector have been captured by Ling Tian, their life and death unknown, and now you’re telling me to calm down?”

“Patriarch Li, I understand how you feel. Trust me, tomorrow, by tomorrow morning at the latest, I will definitely give you an answer,” Counselor Lin cursed inwardly, wondering how he ran into such infuriating trouble on a late night. He decided it would be best to check the almanac next time before getting into bed.

Li Chengfeng ignored him and said directly, “I’ll give you two choices: either tell me Ling Tian’s location now, or I’ll go to Classic Apartments right away and ask you in person. Tell me, which will it be?”

Counselor Lin started sweating profusely; this was outright threat. What chilled him to the bone was that Li Chengfeng somehow knew his location. He had always thought that the Sect Leaders and Clan Leaders of the Eight Great Sects in Xuan Country were all brute and crude, only knowledgeable about cultivation. Suddenly realizing this old fellow was as crafty as they come, he felt a cold dread, as if he had no secrets left.

“I’ll tell you, okay?” Counselor Lin forced a wry smile and said, “Ling Tian is at the northern training base.”

After saying this, he quickly added, “Patriarch Li, please, listen to me. Don’t act rashly. As far as I know, the two Elders are still alive.”

“I have my limits.”

“Beep beep~”

Staring at the cellphone, Counselor Lin gritted his teeth for a long while before he finally decided to wait until the next day to report the matter.

“Honey, who was it?” The woman on the bed lifted her leg, casting a seductive look. Counselor Lin tossed the phone aside and said, “Who cares who it was—let’s continue!”
