The King of Urban Mercenaries

Li Xiyu's gaze seemed like she wanted to devour Lin Fei.

Lin Fei was taken aback by Li Xiyu's expression. Could it be that he was right? Li Xiyu is still a virgin? That's truly unbelievable.

Seeing Lin Fei's bewildered look, Li Xiyu said coldly, "Lin Fei, if you dare to spew nonsense again, I won't be nice to you!"

Not be nice to me?

Lin Fei thought that Li Xiyu was furious to the point of losing her mind. Saying such a thing to him, apart from threatening, Li Xiyu had no ability to deal with Lin Fei.

"Alright, enough jokes. What do you really need me for? Is there some unspeakable secret between you and Wu Yufeng?" Lin Fei asked.

Li Xiyu scoffed, her fondness for Lin Fei disappeared completely, but the task had to be done. She was fed up with Wu Yufeng's harassment.

"Wu Yufeng and I had a marriage arranged from a young age, so..."

"Stop, stop, get to the point. I don't have time to listen to your long story."

Lin Fei directly interrupted Li Xiyu's rambling, asking her to get to the point. Otherwise, if he had to listen from childhood marriage till now, flowers would have wilted.

Li Xiyu glared at Lin Fei, saying, "I don't like Wu Yufeng, but he's constantly pestering me. I want you to help me get rid of him!"

Lin Fei nodded and said, "That's much simpler, I see. No problem, I'll help you tomorrow; I'm unavailable today."

After saying that, Lin Fei turned around to leave. He had already promised Mu Shanshan to accompany her to dance today, which had already offended the fierce Gu Lanzi. Next time, he'll have to make it up to Gu Lanzi properly, or she'll hate him forever.

"Stop! Lin Fei, you stop right there. If you dare not listen to me, I'll let everyone know about your affair with Gu Lanzi today!" Li Xiyu threatened.

Lin Fei furrowed his brows, halted his steps, turned back, and walked toward Li Xiyu, then raised his fist and punched toward her face. Li Xiyu went pale with fright and instinctively closed her eyes.

Bop!

The expected punch didn't land. Instead, Li Xiyu felt someone pecked her lips. She quickly realized as Lin Fei had turned around, walking away, a voice reached her ear.

"Consider that as interest. Let me explain to Shanshan, then I'll come find you."

Li Xiyu scoffed disdainfully, saying, "Whatever, Dragon Soul's former officer turned into a whipped husband."

...

"Shanshan, I want to talk to you about something."

At this moment, Mu Shanshan was chatting with a successful person. Lin Fei walked to her back, tugged at her clothes, and whispered.

Mu Shanshan nodded apologetically to the person, then walked with Lin Fei to a less crowded area and asked, "What's up? What do you want to talk about?"

Lin Fei gathered his courage, anticipating the storm coming, and said, "I might not be able to dance with you. I have some important matters to take care of."

Mu Shanshan nodded and said, "Since you have matters to attend to, go ahead."

Lin Fei was stunned. What's wrong with Mu Shanshan? Why is she being so agreeable? Lin Fei was unable to comprehend.

"Go handle your business. I have to discuss some business with that executive." Mu Shanshan seized the opportunity and chose not to listen to Lin Fei's issue, she walked away into the distance.

"Alright, hope you won't be mad."

Lin Fei realized Mu Shanshan was overlooking him due to being busy, so he didn't explain further. After finding Li Xiyu, he asked, "What do you need me to do? Tell me."

Li Xiyu was surprised by Lin Fei's swift action but was fine with it, she straightforwardly said, "Be my dance partner."

"What? No, no, no! I can agree to anything but not this." Lin Fei quickly rejected Li Xiyu's request.

"Why not? You said you'd agree to anything. This is my only request." Li Xiyu said.

She knows Wu Yufeng is vain and narrow-minded. In such a public venue, if he sees his fiancée dancing with someone else, he would go crazy.

Only then would Wu Yufeng possibly confront Li Xiyu's family and propose to break off the engagement, which would liberate Li Xiyu.

Lin Fei dared not agree with Li Xiyu. He said, "No means no. There's no reasoning behind it."

If Li Xiyu wanted Lin Fei to be her dance partner with Mu Shanshan not around, he would agree immediately without hesitation. But not now.

Rejecting Gu Lanzi was because Mu Shanshan wanted him as her dance partner. But he just told Mu Shanshan he had important things, so he couldn't dance with her.

If Mu Shanshan and Gu Lanzi found Lin Fei dancing with Li Xiyu, it wouldn't be Wu Yufeng who'd be hurt, but Lin Fei!

Think of a fierce middle-aged woman who is also Zhonghai's official, and the other a cold CEO wife. Offending either wouldn't lead to good outcomes, offending both would be disastrous.

"I don't care; you've promised me, and I only have this one request. If you don't agree, I'll tell everyone about your affair with the official."

Li Xiyu couldn't miss this opportunity because if she did, she wouldn't know how to anger Wu Yufeng, and her plans would fall through.

Yet, seeing Lin Fei stubbornly refuse, she added, "If you help me, I'll tell you why Wu Yufeng came to Zhonghai this time."

Lin Fei's expression turned serious. He was indeed curious about Wu Yufeng's unexpected visit to Zhonghai. If it was just for a charity event, Lin Fei wouldn't buy it even at gunpoint, unless there was another reason.

"Alright, deal!"

Unable to avoid it, Lin Fei had no choice but to go along with it. Li Xiyu's pressure was annoying, but it was better than being besieged.

"That's more like it."

Li Xiyu was very satisfied and proud; after all, not many could make the former leader of Dragon Soul submit obediently.

The charity gala soon reached its peak. All companies had completed their donations, and the leader Gu Lanzi invited everyone to start drinking, chatting, and dancing in the banquet hall.

"Now, everyone can choose your dance partner and go on stage for a dance. Welcome all to participate actively..."
