Chapter 1081 - 1057: No Refund This Time
Ren Feng nodded, "So how is the Liou Family's business strength?"
"Quite strong indeed. Though not at the top of the country, it can still squeeze into the top twenty," Buddha sighed and said, "These families are all giants."
Ren Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. It seems Liou Rumei will indeed have some difficulty toppling the Liou Family.
Buddha looked at Ren Feng, who seemed lost in thought, and cautiously asked, "Brother, do you have any other questions?"
"Just one more question." Ren Feng looked at Buddha, "What are the relationships among the twelve families?"
"It's mainly about the five major families. Among them, the Liou Family, the Sima Family, and the Shen Family are allied, leading together with intertwined interests. The Shangguan Family and the Murong Family are also allied. Out of the remaining seven families, five follow the Liou Family. Among the top twenty families, thirteen follow them, and there's no need to mention the ones beyond that."
"How is the relationship between the Liou Family and the Shangguan and Murong families?"
"There are conflicts and cooperation. As long as interests are involved, apart from that, there's not much relation. But mostly they are opposed to each other due to significant differences."
"Got it."
"Then, brother, should I let you go now?" Buddha cautiously asked.
Just as Ren Feng was about to speak, a prison guard came over.
"Buddha, someone from above has come. They specifically named you and requested you to bring this gentleman along."
The guard glanced at Ren Feng, hesitant to refer to him as a prisoner, so he used the term gentleman.
"If they've come, let them wait for a while. Can't they see I'm talking with my most important guest?" Buddha glanced at the man.
"Sorry, Buddha, but she said if you don't appear with the person within three minutes, she would—"
"She would do what?"
"She would set this place on fire."
"Hey! Such audacity, not even people from above dare to speak to me like that. Do they really think I'm a pushover?"
As Buddha spoke, he stood up, and Ren Feng followed. Together they walked downstairs and headed toward the room at the end of the second-floor corridor.
Upon pushing open the door, a massive floor-to-ceiling window appeared before them. In front of the window, a person stood with their back to the two.
To be precise, it was a woman, somewhat tall, around 1.7 meters, wearing a black leather jacket. Her figure was excellent, but she exuded a murderous aura.
The ponytailed woman heard the sound of the door opening and turned directly around. She was about to speak, but as her gaze passed Buddha and landed on Ren Feng, she was stunned.
Ren Feng was also stunned; it was the long-unseen Long Yue.
He froze there, recalling how he thought Long Yue was still in Jiangnan City, but later learned she had left, and after talking with Cyan Dragon, found out she had been relocated, but did not know where. The surprise was meeting her here.
Buddha was about to speak but realized the peculiar situation with Long Yue. He glanced back and saw Ren Feng frozen there too, immediately aware the two might know each other.
"Brother, shall I step outside?"
Being perceptive, Buddha immediately retreated, leaving only Ren Feng and Long Yue in the room.
Ren Feng looked at Long Yue and suddenly smiled, "Didn't expect you to still be so beautiful after such a long time."
Long Yue also smiled, "Didn't expect to meet you here."
"Weren't you coming to rescue me? How could you not expect it?"
Ren Feng approached Long Yue, his lips curling into a smile.
Long Yue's heart was internally disrupted, "I just wasn't mentally prepared yet."
"No need to be prepared, we're old friends, come on, give me a hug."
After saying that, Ren Feng directly hugged Long Yue.
Long Yue was a little dazed; she suddenly realized Ren Feng's hand was stealthily caressing her back.
"Are you trying to take advantage of me again?"
"No way, this is a hug between old friends, I genuinely consider you a comrade," Ren Feng said.
"Then why is your hand on my—"
Ren Feng realized, moved his hand away from her bottom, and then chuckled.
As they walked away, Ren Feng laughed and said, "It's been ages since we last met. I planned to find you during New Year, but you weren't in Jiangnan City."
"Yes, I received a transfer order, relocated to Yanjing."
Long Yue sat on the sofa.
"Quite a coincidence. I'll likely be staying in Yanjing for some time too."
"Not much of a coincidence; I might be transferred soon."
Long Yue said indifferently, but upon seeing Ren Feng's glum expression, she added, "Of course, I can postpone it a bit."
Ren Feng smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that. I initially called Cyan Dragon to have someone protect Liou Rumei, but you came instead?"
"Cyan Dragon sent info to our team; I happened to see it, checked over, and discovered you were held here, so I came to get you out," Long Yue said, "You didn't sustain any injuries, did you?"
"No," Ren Feng shook his head, "In Yanjing, there hasn't been anyone who can trouble me yet."
"Don't be so sure, Yanjing's waters run deep," Long Yue advised, "Experts abound, stay cautious."
"I know," Ren Feng chuckled.
"Furthermore, I don't suggest opposing the Liou Family directly; they beat you in strength. It'll only harm you," Long Yue said.
"You all know about it?" Ren Feng was somewhat surprised.
"What happened at the banquet is known by every family in Yanjing."
Ren Feng chuckled.
"Alright, I'll take you out now; I need to go for a mission later."
Long Yue stood up, and Ren Feng followed her outside.
Buddha was waiting outside, seeing them emerge, quickly said respectfully, "Is there anything you need me to do?"
"No need," Long Yue continued walking without stopping, "Just manage your prison well."
"Okay."
Seeing Ren Feng and Long Yue walk outside, Buddha finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Buddha, are we really not going to kill him? What about the Liou Family?"
A prison guard cautiously asked beside Buddha, but Buddha suddenly turned, slapped the guard hard across the face.
"Don't mention the Liou Family again," Buddha's expression was icy, his narrowed eyes glinted with cold light, "I was nearly killed by the Liou Family!"
"Then Buddha, how should we explain things to the Liou Family?"
"Explain?" Buddha said blandly, "Just say someone from above came and took him away with great skill, and I couldn't do anything, he just left the prison, what more explanation do they want?"
"Then shall I reply like that?" the guard asked.
Buddha watched through the glass as Ren Feng and Long Yue departed in a car and said calmly, "Add another sentence: due to false information, which almost caused my accidental death, this time there's no refund."
