915: Chapter 904: Meeting Chen Fengnan 915: Chapter 904: Meeting Chen Fengnan After meeting Teng Yun Geshang, two days had passed.
During this time, Ning Fan lived very peacefully, while secretly maintaining vigilance and observing Teng Yun Geshang and his group.
It was unclear what kind of impact their meeting two days ago had inflicted on Teng Yun Geshang; these last two days, Teng Yun Geshang had made no major moves, not even stepping out of the hotel.
Perhaps he’s contemplating something?
Ning Fan comforted himself with this thought, but knowing that Teng Yun Geshang was inherently a stubborn man, he also realized that this was simply self-reassurance.
In reality, no one truly knew what Teng Yun Geshang was thinking.
Teng Yun Geshang’s stubbornness was evident by the fact that he had kept his promise and handed over the agreed-upon reward, the Nine Souls Jade, to Ning Fan.
Nevertheless, with Teng Yun Geshang remaining so calm, Ning Fan enjoyed the peace and quiet.
He certainly wouldn’t want Teng Yun Geshang to suddenly attack him.
What Ning Fan hadn’t expected, however, was that today Teng Yun Geshang left the hotel secretly.
But instead of coming to find Ning Fan, he went as a guest to Chen Fengnan’s estate.
“Teng Yun Geshang, Mr.
Teng, I never expected your visit from afar.
Your arrival truly fills my humble residence with splendor!”
Chen Fengnan personally came out to greet Teng Yun Geshang.
On the surface, he appeared gracious and warm, but inwardly, he was utterly shocked.
He had not been prepared for Teng Yun Geshang’s arrival in the slightest.
Teng Yun Geshang’s visit to Chen Fengnan could only be described as utterly abrupt.
As for what he was planning, no one could say.
“Chen Fengnan, Mr.
Chen, the representative of the Chen Financial Conglomerate.
We’ve met before, haven’t we?
Surely, Mr.
Chen hasn’t forgotten?”
Teng Yun Geshang spoke with a cheerful smile, the impeccable nature of a cunning old fox fully displayed before Chen Fengnan.
Chen Fengnan found himself utterly unable to discern Teng Yun Geshang’s thoughts.
In that moment, the ones under the greatest pressure were the Four King Kongs.
Teng Yun Geshang’s arrival made Ah Yu and his companions feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy; their hearts were tense beyond belief.
They knew that, based on their abilities, they likely couldn’t even contend with Fei Peilie, who stood silently behind Teng Yun Geshang.
Fei Peilie merely stood quietly behind Teng Yun Geshang, yet even so, the aura he exuded left the Four King Kongs unable to relax for a moment.
“Of course I remember.
How could I possibly forget?
At the family banquet back then, the Chen Family extended an invitation to you!”
Chen Fengnan hadn’t forgotten Teng Yun Geshang’s face.
Though it had aged somewhat since their last meeting, his memories of Teng Yun Geshang remained as vivid as if they had occurred yesterday.
During a family banquet once held by the Chen Financial Conglomerate, Teng Yun Geshang’s name had appeared among the distinguished guest list.
The two had been unfamiliar with one another then, yet they left an impression on each other.
“Please, come in!”
Chen Fengnan dared not be careless.
He extended his hand in a welcoming gesture and ushered Teng Yun Geshang and his entourage inside.
Teng Yun Geshang nodded and followed Chen Fengnan into the estate, his expression calm, betraying nothing of his inner thoughts.
Still, anyone could see that Teng Yun Geshang’s visit was undoubtedly more than just a social call to Chen Fengnan.
Especially Chen Fengnan himself, whose thoughts weighed heavily.
He was well-aware that not long ago, Teng Yun Geshang had met with Ning Fan.
Whatever they had discussed during that meeting was known only to the two of them.
The purpose of Teng Yun Geshang’s visit remained unclear, leaving Chen Fengnan deeply uneasy.
Dealing with this man required utmost caution.
“Mr.
Chen, your estate is truly remarkable; as expected of the representative of the Chen Financial Conglomerate.
Your taste is exceptional!”
Teng Yun Geshang exclaimed with genuine admiration.
He appeared, superficially, as though he were merely on a sightseeing tour, which only added to the air of mystery surrounding his actions.
Chen Fengnan took a deep breath and smiled.
“Not bad, not bad!”
“There’s no need for modesty.
This estate, I imagine, is unique to Zhonghai; nowhere else in the region could someone find its equal.”
Teng Yun Geshang then locked eyes with Chen Fengnan.
The weight of his gaze was immense, suffusing Chen Fengnan with palpable pressure.
At that moment, Chen Fengnan struggled to maintain his smile.
A thin layer of sweat had already formed on his face, betraying his rising tension.
If Teng Yun Geshang wanted to kill Chen Fengnan, with Ning Fan not present, it would be virtually impossible for Chen Fengnan to escape alive.
It was this realization that left him feeling helpless.
He might be a genius of commerce, but as far as martial arts went, he had no proficiency whatsoever.
“No need to worry; I’m here today merely to exchange pleasantries and make your acquaintance!”
Teng Yun Geshang spoke with a cheerful tone, patting Chen Fengnan’s shoulder.
He channeled a surge of True Qi into Chen Fengnan’s body, instantly alleviating most of the oppressive pressure he had been feeling.
Witnessing Teng Yun Geshang’s gesture, Ah Yu and the others tensed up even further, fearing he might erupt into violence at any moment.
Feeling the change within his body, Chen Fengnan forced a bitter smile, his gaze filled with confusion.
What was Teng Yun Geshang truly up to?
Surely “making friends” couldn’t be this simple.
Under Chen Fengnan’s guidance, the group made their way to the pavilion at the center of the artificial lake.
Personally, Chen Fengnan brewed a pot of tea for Teng Yun Geshang, a testament to how seriously he was taking his guest.
He could afford no lapse in his hospitality; Teng Yun Geshang was not like Ning Fan, who was kinder and easier to approach.
At any time, Teng Yun Geshang could decide to take his life.
As Chen Fengnan closed his eyes, thoughts of Ning Fan filled his mind.
Yet when he reopened them, he was confronted by Teng Yun Geshang, who seemed more like the Grim Reaper than ever, capable of ending his life on a whim.
The disparity between these two figures elicited nothing but bitter smiles from Chen Fengnan.
“Mr.
Chen, what do you think is the difference between Ning Fan and me?”
Suddenly, Teng Yun Geshang posed the question.
Chen Fengnan’s hand trembled as he held the teacup, spilling a significant amount of tea.
Why would Teng Yun Geshang ask such a thing?
Chen Fengnan now had no choice but to carefully consider how to respond—Teng Yun Geshang was no ordinary man.
But Teng Yun Geshang soon laughed and said, “No need to think too hard.
I already understand the answer.
It’s quite obvious—you’re far less anxious when dealing with Ning Fan compared to me, isn’t that right?”
Chen Fengnan froze, caught entirely off guard by Teng Yun Geshang’s sudden change in tone.
A hidden glimmer of light flashed through Teng Yun Geshang’s eyes.
His face bore a harmless expression as he calmly added, “I truly came today to make your acquaintance.
There’s no need to be so on edge!”
