Chapter 150: A Million-Dollar Reward

Wang An smiled triumphantly, raised his fists, and launched a fierce charge straight into the formation of Number 1 and his four subordinates, scattering them instantly. Delivering heavy blows left and right, he quickly forced Number 1 and the others into defeat. Knowing when to stop, Wang An did not press his advantage to the bitter end. Recognizing that Wang An had held back, Number 1 and his men could not help but admire Ye Feng for having such an extraordinary subordinate.

Huang Shan was naturally thrilled. Ye Feng’s company was indeed impressive; with such a security firm protecting Chen Liang, there would surely be no issues at all. "Ye Feng, my safety is entirely in your hands now. I’ll take you all to meet Mr. Chen Liang in a moment!"

"Rest assured, Sister Shan. Even if it costs me my life, I will guarantee your safety," Ye Feng immediately patted his chest, putting on a deeply affectionate look. Seeing this, Huang Shan let out a soft chuckle, cast a charming and alluring glance at his way, and retorted, "Who wants you to lose your life?"

"Yes, yes, I need to stay alive and work hard to earn a wife's dowry. The moment I save enough, I'll definitely let Sister Shan know!" Ye Feng said with a cheeky grin, his eyes fixed intently on Huang Shan. When she acted coquettishly, she was truly stunning and captivating—her delicate face, enchanting red lips, and full breasts were enough to tempt anyone into sin.

"Why would you tell me?" Huang Shan paused for a moment. What did this scoundrel saving up for a wife have to do with her? She felt a pang of confusion, but realization dawned on her shortly after. Could this scoundrel be planning to marry her? Thinking of this, Huang Shan's face flushed red with shyness.

Ye Feng smiled lewdly and said, "Sister Shan, you know how it is. That wife-fund is being saved precisely for you." The thought of marrying a peerless beauty like Huang Shan made him feel that even if he had to save a billion or eight hundred million, it would be entirely worth it. Ye Feng was certain he wouldn't even bat an eye.

"You should save that wife-fund for someone else; Sister Shan is already getting old!" A trace of bitterness welled up in Huang Shan's heart. Although she felt a flutter of excitement hearing that his marriage fund was meant for her, she had to face reality—anything between her and Ye Feng was probably impossible.

"Who dares to say Sister Shan is old? I'll fight them to the death! Sister Shan is so young and beautiful; who knows how many people this youthful and pretty face has driven crazy? I'm sure that if Sister Shan walked down the street, the head-turn rate would be a hundred percent," Ye Feng blurted out immediately. If Huang Shan could be considered old, countless young maidens would be crying their eyes out.

Seeing Ye Feng's righteous indignation, Huang Shan couldn't help but burst into laughter again, casting a coquettish glance at him. "Is that any way to talk? Sister Shan is so old, yet you call her young and beautiful!" Though she denied it on the surface, her heart felt sweet as honey.

"Of course! If Sister Shan isn't young and beautiful, who is?" Ye Feng continued showering her with compliments. Hearing this, Huang Shan felt utterly delighted and couldn't help asking shyly, "Is Sister Shan really that young?"

"Of course! If Sister Shan and I were to walk down the street together, people would mistake you for my younger sister." A romantic younger sister, of course, though Ye Feng kept that part to himself. Still, the thought of strolling down the street with a breathtaking beauty like Huang Shan was overwhelmingly thrilling.

The car stopped in front of the Emperor Grand Hotel, and Huang Shan led Ye Feng and the others inside. Because of her influence, the hotel manager came out personally to greet them. "Good day, President Huang. Are you here to meet President Chen today?" The manager wore a flattering smile; if someone of President Huang's status was well-served, the benefits would naturally be immense.

"Mmm. Is President Chen in his room?" Huang Shan asked calmly. In front of outsiders, she always maintained the demeanor of a formidable business tycoon—fair, decisive, and carrying an unapproachable majesty. Yet in front of Ye Feng, she appeared delicate and vulnerable, the absolute picture of a doting young wife.

"Yes, he is. This way, please, President Huang." The manager personally led the way for their group. As he glanced back at Ye Feng walking behind Huang Shan, he assumed he was just another employee accompanying her from the company. But the manager was inwardly shocked; the employees of the Huang Corporation were far too intimidating! Every single one of them looked full of vigor, and this one in particular was strikingly handsome. Could he be President Huang's kept man? Yet, there had never been any gossip regarding President Huang in the business world.

Guided by the hotel manager, Ye Feng and his group quickly arrived at the luxury presidential suite of the Emperor Grand Hotel. True to its name, the suite boasted first-class, exquisite interior decoration and an immense floor plan. It was essentially an entire apartment complete with a kitchen, living room, and all modern amenities.

Before long, a middle-aged man of about forty walked out of the room. He was dressed very plainly; placed in a crowd, one would never guess he was a multi-millionaire. Seeing the middle-aged man emerge, Huang Shan smiled and greeted him, "Good day, President Chen. I've brought some bodyguards for you today so you can take a look and choose!"

"Ah, to trouble President Huang to come personally for such a small matter—I am truly grateful!" Chen Liang smiled faintly and exchanged a formal handshake with Huang Shan. "Please have a seat, President Huang. By the way, are these the security brothers President Huang found?" he asked, sweeping his gaze across the group.

"Yes, that's right. President Chen, this is Chu Yun, the General Manager of Xingfeng Security Company whom I introduced to you earlier, this is Vice President Liu Zhenhua, and this is Wang An!" Huang Shan introduced them with a smile. Chen Liang nodded in greeting to Chu Yun and the others one by one, but his eyes soon drifted toward Ye Feng, who was standing quietly.

"President Huang, and this is?" Chen Liang asked with a slight smile. He had a hunch that the truly formidable one was this standing young man. Though he looked ordinary on the surface, his breathing was steady and well-regulated, and the aura emanating from him shocked Chen Liang, a man who had seen countless people in his lifetime.

"Oh, this is my friend, Ye Feng!" Huang Shan hadn't expected Chen Liang to single out Ye Feng, especially with such a keen interest. Ye Feng offered a polite smile to acknowledge Chen Liang, and Chen Liang gestured for Ye Feng to come over and sit down. Both Huang Shan and Ye Feng were momentarily taken aback.

"Haha, President Huang, I wonder if this bodyguard can be assigned to protect me instead?" Chen Liang asked with a smile. As Ye Feng drew closer, Chen Liang could feel the powerful aura radiating from him even more deeply. Yes, this was the aura of a king—an aura that made Chen Liang feel truly secure.

"Th-this..." Huang Shan froze. She had originally intended to recommend the others to Chen Liang, never imagining that Chen Liang would take a direct liking to Ye Feng. Naturally, Ye Feng had no intention of accepting. "President Chen, I'm afraid that won't do. I am President Huang's bodyguard, so I likely cannot take the job. However, these other brothers are all exceptional!"

"You... you are unwilling to protect me?" Chen Liang was stunned. Did this kid not realize that once he made an offer, the reward would certainly be substantial? Ye Feng shook his head. "I'm sorry, President Chen. My current duty is to protect Sister Shan's safety!"

"I am willing to pay you one million!" Chen Liang offered after a moment of thought. He found this young man increasingly inscrutable, especially given his calm composure when faced with his invitation; the kid probably knew a thing or two about his background. Yet, Ye Feng still smiled faintly and declined Chen Liang's offer.

Chen Liang's face darkened immediately. Seeing this expression, Huang Shan and the others felt a surge of secret anxiety. Ye Feng's blunt, unvarnished refusal was equivalent to a direct slap in the face. Huang Shan quickly prepared to step in and offer an explanation for Ye Feng.
