Chapter 25: You Dare Hit Me?
Someone was finally helping him with his workload. Moreover, Huang Yunxuan’s drawings were quite standard, bearing the imprint of the military department, suggesting that this girl’s background was anything but ordinary.
Bang!
Another tremor shook the door, which now bore a footprint.
“Which damned fool is it this time?”
Feng Xu gritted his teeth, his mood souring. He had already said no one should disturb him while he was working, yet someone had barged in again!
“It’s your grandfather!”
A furious roar echoed, and a deep crack appeared on the door.
“You know who this is.”
Feng Xu’s brows furrowed. Could this girl have brought him here?
Huang Yunxuan’s eyes darted quickly, and she shook her head at once.
“Of course not! How could I possibly know someone so uncivilized? Besides, I’m helping you with your work right now.”
Huang Yunxuan hastily explained, quietly putting things down and ducking under the worktable.
...
Feng Xu was speechless. During his working hours, no one dared disturb him, not even in the Ye Kingdom. Perhaps this region simply didn’t respect technology—the door had been kicked in, and no one intervened.
Bang!
With a thunderous crash, a man strode in, his hair parted, eyes rimmed in pink, wearing a purple suit.
“Shush!”
“Just pretend you didn’t see me,” Huang Yunxuan whispered urgently to Feng Xu.
Feng Xu rolled his eyes. Perhaps it was coincidence, perhaps intentional.
“I never expected to find you working in this company’s research department! After betraying the nation, you still dare to exert yourself here? Do you know who I am?”
The man’s eyes flashed with a cold sneer, and he strode toward Feng Xu, clenching his fists so tightly that the muscles on his arms bulged ominously, as if he meant to crush Feng Xu.
Feng Xu stared at the arrogant man before him, full of questions.
“I don’t care who you are or what you have to do with this company. Get out now—I’m working.”
Feng Xu was deadly serious, continuing to focus on his drawings.
“You bastard, how dare you underestimate me? I am Trelor!”
“The chairman’s nephew, which means I call the shots in this company!”
He glared at Feng Xu, shouting as he advanced. “I’ll give you a chance: did Yunxuan come to see you just now?”
He smiled coldly, gripping the worktable and shaking it violently.
A vein twitched lightly on Feng Xu’s forehead.
“I’ll say it again: disturbing my work will have serious consequences. And whatever affairs you men and women have, don’t bring them here to cause trouble, or you’ll suffer for it.”
He picked up his tools once more.
“Boy! You’re nothing but a traitor, yet you dare put on airs before me? You’re asking for death.”
Trelor sneered and swung his hand at Feng Xu’s face.
No one in this company dared flaunt themselves in his presence—not even Feng Xu, a high-level intellectual.
“You’re courting death!”
A cold gleam flickered in Feng Xu’s eyes; he swung his palm forward.
Smack!
A sharp slap echoed through the design hall.
Trelor reeled, dizzy, his mouth filling with blood. Several bloodied teeth landed on the floor.
“Ah! You—you—you actually hit me!”
He roared at Feng Xu, incredulous.
Feng Xu lifted his eyes briefly, then resumed sketching on the board.
“Get out! If you don’t leave, it won’t just be a slap.”
He said calmly, adjusting the worktable and continuing his drawing.
“Fine, fine, fine!”
Trelor was livid, but the speed of Feng Xu’s slap had been astonishing; if he fought Feng Xu now, he’d be the one at a disadvantage.
“You’ve got guts, kid. Stay right here—soon, you’ll regret it!”
He grumbled as he retreated, fleeing the design room.
“You were amazing! I knew you weren’t ordinary. Last night at the Qi family, I was worried something might happen to you, but you actually drove him away!”
Huang Yunxuan’s eyes sparkled as if she’d discovered a treasure. Lin Yun’s speed had surpassed her expectations, and now he had directly chased the chairman’s nephew out of the company; it was simply unbelievable.
“He’s gone.”
Feng Xu spoke coldly. “You should leave too.”
“But…”
Huang Yunxuan’s expression shifted.
“I didn’t mean for this to happen. I’ve rejected Trelor before, but he’s fixated on me now. If I said I’d treat you to dinner, I meant it!”
Feng Xu glanced at her.
“Keeping your distance is the greatest help you can give. You’ve already brought me trouble again today, and I don’t want a third time—this is the second.”
“Don’t be so harsh!”
Huang Yunxuan bit her lip. She acknowledged Feng Xu as a high-level intellectual, but he was so domineering at this moment!
Sounds from outside the door prompted Huang Yunxuan to quietly hide under the worktable.
“There he is, that’s him!”
A frantic voice called out, and a group of security guards rushed in, eyes cold as steel.
“When did you come in, boy?”
“Do you know who Trelor is? Do you realize the price for hitting him?”
“You traitor, how dare you show up in our science department?”
“This guy must be a foreign spy, here to steal our technological secrets.”
...
Everyone stared at Feng Xu, faces icy as they brandished security batons, swiftly encircling the room and confronting him coldly.
“Hmph!”
Trelor saw that Feng Xu showed not a hint of fear, but now he had the advantage in numbers.
“Did you hear that, boy? If you don’t want trouble, do as I say: crawl over and act like a dog!”
“But if you refuse, I’ll break your hands and feet—and make it even worse for you. You might not even have ribs left.”
He threatened Feng Xu coldly, his face still stinging from the slap, and he’d come seeking Huang Yunxuan. Yet she was nowhere to be found, and with both grievances combined, jealousy burned within him.
