In fact, the people Duan Guotai brought this time are indeed formidable, not only in strength and speed but also in technique variation and combat awareness.

If a comparison must be drawn, Xiao Feng thinks Duan Guotai's people can at least hold their own against Wei Shuai's elite police squad, if not exceed them!

Unfortunately, they encountered Xiao Feng!

In Xiao Feng's view, these people aren't much different from the last time, just a bunch of rabble really, no matter how well trained they are, they cannot shake off the fact of being mere rabble.

Du Qingyue stared blankly at Xiao Feng, without feeling the satisfaction of venting her anger; her heart was lodged in her throat.

The previous incident of violently beating up Duan Guotai and his son could perhaps be suppressed through connections, but this time it's different with all the reputable figures present having a considerable influence in Jiangcheng.

"Help, please help me!"

A trembling voice called out, and only then did everyone realize that even though Xiao Feng threw Duan Li off the rooftop, he hadn't actually let him fall.

"Don't be rash, anything can be negotiated, any conditions just state them as long as you let go of my son," Duan Guotai hurriedly pleaded.

Xiao Feng turned back with a smile: "It's simple, didn't you ask me to kneel and apologize to you? Now, similarly, if you kneel and beg me, I will let your son go."

"Of course, even if you don't agree, I will let your son go."

Duan Guotai's eyes burned with fury, his face stinging hotly, he knew well what Xiao Feng's latter words meant: One was genuinely letting his son go, the other was letting go to drop his son off.

Xiao Feng's smile deepened: "You can take your time considering, but my strength is limited, if my grip slips..."

Outside the rooftop, Duan Li's voice, almost in tears, rang out: "Dad, just agree with him, save me quickly, I don't want to die!"

The distinguished guests retreated far back, shaking their heads and sighing, thinking Duan Guotai deserved it; after all, he first proposed that Xiao Feng kneel and apologize, now Xiao Feng was using his tactic against him, which isn't considered excessive.

But now hearing Duan Li's words, they looked at Duan Guotai with a hint of sympathy.

Du Qingyun, seated at the center of the Du Family, opened his mouth as though to say something but ultimately said nothing.

He was very aware that even if he, as the patriarch of the Du Family, spoke, Xiao Feng might not necessarily be respectful.

Realizing this, Du Qingyun suddenly looked at Du Feixiang.

Du Feixiang, as if understanding was mutual, walked to Du Qingyue's side and softly said: "Qingyue, this matter escalating isn't good for anyone, you know Duan Guotai is almost sure to get investment from that wealthy tycoon; why don't we seize this chance to settle the big issue by making it small?"

The elders nearby chimed in: "Yes, the situation is still unclear, affronting Duan Guotai wouldn't be beneficial for us."

"What do you all mean then?" Du Qingyue turned, coldly asking.

Initially, she thought of persuading Xiao Feng, but upon hearing Du Feixiang and the elders, she couldn't help but feel furious.

Previously, when Duan Guotai approached, almost cursing at the Du Family, no one uttered a word.

Now Xiao Feng came and solved the trouble, yet these people still think about not offending Duan Guotai; did Xiao Feng help wrongly then?

Du Feixiang furrowed his brows, understanding Du Qingyue's intellect; she surely knows what he's expressing, is she not intending to let it go?

After a moment, Du Qingyue mockingly smiled: "Does everyone not see the situation clearly now? Even if Duan Guotai can gracefully exit now, wouldn't he continue to retaliate against us later?"

Everyone was taken aback simultaneously, the answer clearly evident, but none had the courage to let the chaos continue spiraling out of control.

As the Du Family thought, letting Duan Guotai hold some dignity might have him spare the Du Family, but if Duan Guotai actually kneels in front of everyone, sure enough, retaliation would follow.

Du Feixiang took a deep breath and said: "Previously, we had no reason to fear him, Duan Guotai, but now the situation is different; if Duan Guotai indeed secures investment, Lanyue Group's circumstances would be unfortunate."

Seeing Du Qingyue seemingly unmoved, Du Feixiang gritted his teeth and stated: "Even for the overall interest of our Du Family, you should persuade Xiao Feng not to escalate things further."

At this moment, Du Qingyue genuinely wanted to laugh, but couldn't manage to, despite trying; these people constantly claim for the Du Family and overall interests—does anyone truly consider her part of the family?

Suddenly, Du Qingyue felt Duan Li might be right: in the family's eyes, she was just a tool with value.

For the family's development, they pressured her to marry Shen Tianze; similarly, now for the family's sake, they wanted her to persuade Xiao Feng—why must she bear all this while others reap the benefits?

"This isn't fair!" Du Qingyue suddenly said, her voice low but unyielding.

"Wh, what's unfair?" Du Feixiang asked, puzzled.

Du Qingyue didn't intend to explain, at this moment her heart felt desolate, since the family didn't consider her own, why should she force herself to integrate?

"Grandpa just mentioned something, which I think everyone could reconsider." Du Qingyue calmly said, then sat down, her gaze resting on Xiao Feng, ignoring the others' persuasion.

Du Feixiang and the others exchanged glances, recalling Du Qingyun's earlier words: "Our Du Family never lacks the courage to start over!"

The words were indeed imposing, yet truly lacking? Perhaps even Du Qingyun himself doesn't believe it.

At this moment, Duan Guotai spoke with flushed face, trembling all over, "Alright, if you let my son go, I'll agree to any condition."

Upon finishing, he made an attempt to kneel, though everyone could see Duan Guotai's anger reached its peak!

Duan Guotai grit his teeth, kneeled with one leg, and at that moment, a line of black-suited men wearing sunglasses emerged at the rooftop entrance.

After the appearance of the black-suited men, they stood in two rows, hands behind their backs, bodies upright, as if awaiting a bigshot's appearance.

The distinguished guests glanced at each other and swiftly returned to their seats, at this moment whatever happens to Duan Guotai no longer mattered; watching the drama was fun, but if it delayed big matters, it muddled priorities.

Duan Guotai's eyes brightened, full of anticipation, looking toward the staircase, this was his only chance depending on whether he caught it!

Xiao Feng also became interested, together with others, looking toward the staircase.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Heavy footsteps resounded, someone started flattering even before seeing the protagonist: "Without a doubt a big shot, even the footsteps differ from ordinary people!"

People nearby couldn't help rolling their eyes inwardly, yet found nothing shameful in such conduct; for tangible benefits, trivial face sometimes isn't that relevant.

Under hundreds of gazes, a person squeezed out from the stairway; squeezed because the person was just too fat.

Looking carefully, one saw the person donned in a mink coat, sporting round-framed sunglasses, holding a fan, walking pigeon-toed like an old official.

Xiao Feng was dumbfounded at the moment, this person's features are really distinctive!
