"Thank you, Li Feng, you are really too generous ... I hope you can be just as generous next time!"

Victory is already assured, so Qin Fang naturally no longer needed to be polite with Li Feng. Although he stayed seated, Chen Jiangnan immediately understood and, like a devoted lackey, promptly moved the pile of chips and checks in front of Li Feng over to Qin Fang.

"You..."

At this point, Li Feng truly wanted to vomit blood in frustration, if only that could relieve his feelings... But right now, he clearly didn't have the inclination to do so because he was buried in debt.

The ten million from Elite Salon didn't matter much, paying that back later wouldn't be an issue; the interest was quite low, and even after ten to fifteen days it wouldn't accrue by much.

The problem was the loan agreement he had just signed, borrowing thirty-eight million from Fan Jin, a Hongkonger whose background he wasn't very clear about—and at such a high interest rate.

"Well... Mr. Li, although I'm reluctant to bring up your troubles, I must say this about the money: I hope you can repay it quickly. Otherwise, the interest... We have a contract. If you default, I'll have no choice but to bring in a lawyer from Hong Kong to sue!"

The more Li Feng worried, the worse things turned. Just as he was considering negotiating with Fan Jin about the money—relying on the fact that his elder brother, Li Rui, was a big name on Ninghai Road, hoping that Fan Jin would give him some respect.

Money, he would definitely pay back, but he hoped that the interest wouldn't be too steep...

Unexpectedly, Fan Jin didn't even give him a chance, rubbing salt in his wound. While ostensibly advising him to repay the money sooner, it sounded more like he was pushing him towards a dead end...

"Pfft~~"

Having lost fifty million, Li Feng was already in extreme pain. He had no idea how to explain this bad debt to his elder brother Li Rui.

But Qin Fang, who won his money, made him seethe with hatred. No matter what harsh words Qin Fang said to him, he could grit his teeth and bear it, well-determined to ultimately take out Qin Fang and get the money back into his hands...

But this high-interest loan from Fan Jin was a different matter; it was a veritable death warrant... Even higher than exorbitant interest rates, if Li Feng tried to delay, he would owe even more...

This cycle, coupled with the highs of winning and the lows of losing money coming almost back-to-back, proved too intense. Pressured by Fan Jin in this way, Li Feng felt a choking sensation in his chest and a reverse rush of blood surged, prompting him to open his mouth...

"Really, the way this blood spurted out, it does have the spirit of gut-wrenching frustration..."

This scene, although Qin Fang anticipated Li Feng would be extremely upset, the spewing of blood was rather brutal.

Since he and Li Feng were already sworn enemies, there was no need to be polite anymore; he immediately sprinkled more salt on Li Feng's wound, jokingly muttering to Chen Jiangnan nearby.

The onlookers, due to their age, might not understand what that spewing blood represented, but both Qin Fang and Li Feng, being young, had seen that classic comedy film depicting the heroic blood-spitting expression—

Thus, Li Feng spurted even more blood... It nearly turned into a fountain—only it wasn't water but blood spewing out.

"Ah, who would have thought that casually playing cards could lead to blood vomiting, truly an extraordinary thing in this world..."

At this point, there was no need for Qin Fang to continue playing. Li Feng had lost fifty million to him, giving him a small profit which would definitely make Li Rui feel the pinch for a while.

But that wasn't the most crucial part—what really surprised Qin Fang was the way Li Feng violently spewed blood, making his already frail body even weaker. This time, he probably wouldn't be surprised if it led to an early demise.

This was definitely an unexpected boon from this move!

Since it was time to deal a harsh blow to Li Rui, surely the scene before them was more fitting, more on the mark!

...

"Xiao Hei, where is the second young master?"

Outside the Elite Salon, Black Panther was loitering with his underlings when a phone call came in. Seeing the name displayed, Black Panther shivered involuntarily but still answered the call obediently. From the other end of the phone, these words came through.

"Young Master Rui, Young Master Feng is playing inside Elite Salon, we can't even get in..."

Black Panther said cautiously.

Elite Salon is a high-end club. Although Black Panther has a bit of notoriety in the underworld, he's still a small-time thug, not someone who can show his face in high society, and definitely doesn't have the credentials to enter.

So his response was quite appropriate, though he vaguely guessed that Li Feng was definitely going to face misfortune tonight... perhaps even major misfortune.

Li Rui could surely contact Li Feng directly. Yet now he's calling Black Panther, it's possible that something has already happened to Li Feng.

"Damn, should I run away now, or else..."

The more Black Panther thought about it, the more he felt he couldn't stay in Ninghai any longer. Once Li Rui gets furious, even though this matter wasn't directly related to Black Panther, there's no guarantee Li Rui wouldn't vent his anger on him.

"Hm? You guys keep an eye out there, if you see the second young master, tell him to contact me..."

Li Rui was clearly unsatisfied with Black Panther's response, but he didn't see any issue with it either. He was very aware of the exclusivity of Elite Salon; even Li Feng wouldn't have the qualifications to enter if it wasn't for his intervention, let alone the likes of Black Panther.

Yet he's been unable to reach Li Feng's phone. It might be because Li Feng was busy with women and didn't hear the phone, but that doesn't mean there shouldn't be any reaction for this long.

What's key is that he's recently collaborated with Shen Wuben to confront Qin Fang; based on his understanding of Qin Fang, he knows Qin Fang wouldn't just sit and wait to be attacked and would likely take action.

And his brother Li Feng has the deepest grudge against Qin Fang. It's not that he guessed Qin Fang would directly target Li Feng; he's worried Li Feng might fail against Qin Fang and instead be captured by him…

"Young Master Rui, something bad has happened...the second young master is in trouble!"

Before Black Panther could even hang up, he saw the personnel from Elite Salon carrying out an unconscious and blood-spewing Li Feng, immediately screaming into the phone.

"What? What exactly happened?"

Li Rui was also startled upon hearing this, and immediately roared into the phone at Black Panther, a coldness rising in his heart.

He, Li Rui, was very clear about the nature of Elite Salon. Even he himself would have to behave properly there; anyone daring to cause trouble in that place would meet a dire end.

Upon hearing that his brother Li Feng was in trouble, Li Rui's first thought was that Li Feng must have done something extremely inappropriate, and the people from Elite Salon dealt with Li Feng...

But then he thought of another possibility—that Qin Fang had made a move against Li Feng!

Regardless of which was the case, neither was something Li Rui wanted to see. Although he, Li Rui, has strong influence in Ninghai Underground, he couldn't do anything against Elite Salon...

However, similarly, if it was indeed Qin Fang who did something to Li Feng, he, Li Rui, also couldn't act too outrageously. For one, Tang Cheng wouldn't give him such an opportunity, and secondly, Shen Wuben, his current collaborator, would absolutely not allow him to take any actions extremely detrimental to Qin Fang—at least not until Shen Wuben acquired that precious item!

However, since the incident has already happened, regardless of the reasons, he couldn't just ignore his brother. He immediately put aside what he was doing and headed towards Elite Salon, only he had the clout to take Li Feng out from their hands...(Continued.
