With Yang Jiajun’s hired assailants incident earlier, Chen Kai had already lost twice.
Eighty-Electronic-Book
He had never witnessed Qin Feng’s true strength, believing that no matter how skilled in martial arts, one would still be vulnerable to a knife—anyone from a military background should surely fear bullets. After careful thought, he concluded that Qin Feng’s survival against the snipers was primarily due to luck. He summoned one of his most trusted subordinates and asked, “Do you know any desperadoes—people who can kill someone right in the street?”
The subordinate didn’t understand what Chen Kai was after and replied cautiously, “How could I possibly know such people? You’re truly making a joke. Don’t you know me well? I’ve always been a law-abiding, respectable citizen!”
Chen Kai gave a cold smile. “Pleasantly, then. Who doesn’t know your several sworn brothers are deeply involved in the underworld? With no outsiders present, there’s no reason to hide anything. Bring me a few such people—I’ll have work for them, and the price won’t be an issue!”
"With a quick twist of his eyes, the trusted aide smiled and said, 'I should have known earlier, I was quite startled just now. Indeed, we can find people—several were released from prison recently, all in their forties. Since coming out, they've had no means of earning a living. As long as the price is right, they're willing to do anything!' 'That's good. Go arrange this matter—have them prepare the necessary tools. This is urgent,' Chen Kai said, his gaze steady on the aide's face. 'Also, this matter is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. If you let anyone else in on it, you'll be out of the running!' The aide quickly expressed his loyalty, 'With your assurance, I'll keep this strictly confidential. I'll certainly rely on your and Yang's support in the future!' Chen Kai nodded in satisfaction, signaling for him to leave. After the aide departed, he tapped his fingers on the desk, murmuring to himself, 'If Qin Feng were to be killed right in front of people, Xiao Jun and his brother-in-law would surely be delighted. Hahahaha!'
"Yes?" A sudden voice rose, as though emerging from beneath the ground. Chen Kai immediately broke into a cold sweat, quickly turning his head, his voice trembling as he asked, "Who is that? Who spoke just now?" In fact, Qin Feng had arrived long before, having personally witnessed every word of his conversation with his closest associates. He had originally thought Chen Kai was no more than Yang Xingde's assistant—yet now he realized he was actually the mastermind behind everything. A figure materialized before him, appearing out of nowhere. "Qin... Qin Feng," Chen Kai stammered, nearly falling off his chair in surprise, "You... how did you come here? It's been a long time. How is Director Qin these days?" Qin Feng shook his head and said, "I'm not well at all. Someone wants to attack me, even kill me. They've tried once, and when that failed, they came back again. Do you think I can possibly be happy?"
Chen Kai's two legs, hidden beneath the table, were trembling violently, and a strained smile played on his face: "Is that true? How could such a thing happen? That man is simply careless—he couldn't possibly have targeted a well-behaved, law-abiding businessman like me. It's just... too outrageous."
"Didn't you think he was rather unreasonable too?" Qin Feng finally smiled, with a thoughtful tone. "Since he's determined to kill me, what do you think I should do? Surely you'd say I should respond with equal force—'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,' wouldn't you? That's exactly what I intended!" As he spoke, he reached out and gave a firm clap on the table.
Chen Kai could no longer hold back. He collapsed to the ground with a soft *plink*, his face falling into a look of despair. "Qin Feng, I'm wrong. I'll never bother you again. Please, just let me go. I'll pay you any amount you demand. And I promise you, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will never again find fault with your company. I'll even give you an 'Outstanding Enterprise' award every year
"I don't need anything. How about this—let me kill you, then posthumously award you the title of Outstanding Employee. What do you think?" His smile grew even wider.
The room door was soon pushed open from the outside, and the office was neat and tidy, so everyone assumed Chen Kai had committed suicide. It was impossible to survive a fall from the twelfth floor. Upon hearing the news that his brother-in-law had jumped from the building, Yang Xingde simply wouldn't believe it. After all, Chen Kai had been rising steadily in his career over the past two years, and his family—wife, children—had been living a warm, harmonious life. What could possibly have driven him to jump? Could it have been pressure from someone? That seemed even less likely—besides the matter involving Qin Feng, he had no other pressing concerns. Chen Kai's death must have been directly linked to Qin Feng. As this thought formed, Yang Xingde's heart grew uneasy. He had arranged for his brother-in-law to kill Qin Feng, only to fall from the building himself; now, was it his turn? He glanced toward his son's room, wondering if he had made a mistake. At the Wei family compound, when the news of Chen Kai's death reached the old man, he immediately suspected Qin Feng and promptly called him to question him.
Qin Da smiled warmly and said, "If it were anyone else asking, I'd definitely stay silent. But since it's Grandfather Wei who's asking, I'll tell you the truth—yes, it was me who killed him!"
"Didn't I tell you already to reconcile with Chen Kai? How could you turn around and have him killed right after?" Grandfather Wei blew his cheeks and glared.
"It was Chen Kai who was looking for death," Qin Feng said seriously. "Since you've asked about this, I believe it's important for you to know the truth. I've sent you a recording—just listen to it and you'll understand!"
He sent over the recording of Chen Kai's conversation with his close aide. Upon hearing it, Grandfather Wei burst into fury: "Yang! You've been playing double games with me all along—surface sincerity, behind the scenes, nothing but deception! Since it's like this, I'm no longer going to bother with your family's mess. This is entirely your fault! I'm furious!"
"Qin Feng, hearing the elder's stance, smiled and said: 'The matter has always been supposed to unfold this way. We can remain compassionate, but the other side simply won't settle for peace. Elder, this time you've truly been let down!' The elder replied: 'If it weren't for my personal regard for the bond between my father and him, I'd have hardly bothered to assist him at all. Young Feng, do whatever you think best—just remember one thing: keep yourself out of the fray. No matter what you do, always remain clean and uninvolved!' "
