In another place, Zheng Bowen’s office.
Zheng Bowen was watching the news report on television. Seeing the downfall of the Sun family, a cold curve appeared on Zheng Bowen’s lips.
Before him, Lei Lingyun was savoring red wine with a puzzled expression.
“Brother Zheng, you didn’t arrange for someone to do this, did you?”
Lei Lingyun vaguely caught something from Zheng Bowen’s expression.
Zheng Bowen turned off the TV, picked up his wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp. “Brother Lingyun, I heard that the Sun family had a dispute with you, and Sun Pengfei even injured you. As a brother, I had to help you get revenge!”
“You mean, you were the one who destroyed the Sun family?”
Lei Lingyun showed a hint of shock. The destruction of the Sun family was no small matter.
Even though his father, Lei Bao, had dominated Qingcheng’s underworld for over a decade, he wouldn’t dare use brute force to exterminate an entire family.
Moreover, this was no ordinary family!
Had Zheng Bowen gone mad?
Lei Lingyun was shocked by Zheng Bowen’s cruel methods, and at the same time, he didn’t forget to explain, “Brother Zheng, there’s a misunderstanding in this matter. It was that person named Lin Feng who impersonated Sun Pengfei of the Sun family. I have no conflict with the Sun family!”
“Oh, why didn’t you say so earlier? I thought I was avenging you and helping you vent your anger. I had no idea there was such a misunderstanding!”
Zheng Bowen frowned, feigning ignorance.
Lei Lingyun felt awkward. He hadn’t expected that the destruction of the Sun family would be so closely related to him.
He also hadn’t expected Zheng Bowen to be so good to him, to the point of annihilating the entire Sun family for such a trivial matter.
Lei Lingyun felt both ashamed and touched. He stood up, walked to Zheng Bowen, spread his arms, and gave Zheng Bowen a hug.
“Brother Zheng, there’s no need to say anything else. From now on, we are brothers. Your business is my business!”
Lei Lingyun said from the bottom of his heart.
Ever since he was young, besides sycophants, he had never had a true friend.
Only Zheng Bowen had deeply moved him, especially Zheng Bowen’s ruthless methods, which also matched his personality.
As a result, Zheng Bowen’s few words had completely swayed Lei Lingyun.
“Brother Lingyun, you mentioned a person named Lin Feng just now. I also share an irreconcilable hatred with him. This kid has ruined many of my good deeds and even snatched away the woman I love.”
“Speaking of which, my enmity with him is no less than yours!”
Zheng Bowen gradually revealed his true intentions.
“Brother Zheng, this guy surnamed Lin also has a grudge with you? Then, given your temper, why didn’t you cripple him?”
Lei Lingyun asked in surprise.
Zheng Bowen gave a wry smile. “You don’t know, this guy is very skilled. I sent people to teach him a lesson several times, but they all failed.”
“Besides, I just annihilated the Sun family for you, so it’s not convenient for me to make a move again. Therefore, I can only tolerate him for now.”
“It’s a small matter if I suffer some grievances, but if you, my brother, suffer grievances, I cannot bear it.”
Zheng Bowen’s words were very artful. Anyone who heard them would be moved by his noble demeanor.
Lei Lingyun, as the son of a powerful figure, lacked Zheng Bowen’s shrewdness. He immediately slammed the table and said, “Brother, I, your brother, will help you vent this anger!”
“It’s not convenient for you to make a move, but it is convenient for me! This time, I’ll settle both the old and new scores with him!”
Anger flared in Lei Lingyun’s eyes.
Zheng Bowen quickly stood up to dissuade him, “Good brother, let’s forget about it. This guy is difficult to deal with. I’m afraid you’ll suffer from him again.”
“After the storm of the Sun family passes, I’ll personally handle it.”
“You shouldn’t cause trouble for your father. If your father misunderstands me because of this, I’ll feel bad too.”
“As I said, it’s nothing if I suffer some grievances, but as my good brother, I must take good care of you!”
Zheng Bowen patted Lei Lingyun’s shoulder, almost making Lei Lingyun shed tears.
“Brother, there’s no need to say anything else. From now on, you are my real brother!”
“But this time, let your brother stand up for you. I never intended to let this guy surnamed Lin go. Even if my father finds out, he’ll agree with me dealing with him!”
Lei Lingyun’s attitude was firm, completely lost in Zheng Bowen’s honeyed words.
“Brother, then tell me first how you plan to deal with him?”
Zheng Bowen sat down and asked very seriously.
Lei Lingyun was stumped. He had witnessed Lin Feng’s skills. Ordinary people couldn’t defeat him.
For a moment, he really couldn’t think of a better plan.
“Are you feeling lost? This Lin Feng is difficult to deal with. Without sufficient martial arts attainment, confronting him head-on is just asking for trouble,”
Zheng Bowen said with a smile.
“That’s not necessarily true. My uncle, Lei Zhan, is a half-step martial arts grandmaster and highly respected in the provincial capital. He has many martial arts experts under him.”
“My uncle has doted on me since I was young, so I can ask my uncle to send two experts to help me deal with Lin Feng.”
Lei Lingyun said indignantly.
“Yes, how could I have forgotten your uncle? Your uncle is a senior I have long admired, and I’ve always wanted to get to know him.”
Zheng Bowen said, feigning envy.
“Brother, you want to get to know my uncle? Then, when my uncle comes to Qingcheng next time, I’ll introduce you.”
“That’s right, I’ll call my uncle right now and ask him to send experts to deal with Lin Feng.”
Lei Lingyun couldn’t wait. He went out to call Lei Zhan.
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Zheng Bowen sneered inwardly.
Lei Lingyun was still too naive. His psychological manipulation hadn’t even fully kicked in, and Lei Lingyun had already fallen for it.
Zheng Bowen felt a hint of pride. He didn’t care whether Lei Lingyun could defeat Lin Feng or not. What he cared about was drawing Lei Zhan into his plan.
Once Lei Zhan was involved, Lin Feng and Lei Zhan would be in an irreconcilable conflict.
This way, he could simply sit back and watch the show!
Little did Lin Feng know that Zheng Bowen had gone to such great lengths and laid such a grand plan to deal with him!
After returning from Sun Pengfei, Luo Keke and Liu Mengyao went to stream live together.
With their existing fan base and the support of Lin Xiaoqi’s wealthy status, Luo Keke and Liu Mengyao’s live streams instantly reached over 100,000 viewers.
Even though Luo Keke and Liu Mengyao lacked special talents and didn’t stream for sales, they could still earn a lot of gifts from fans just by engaging in PK battles.
Of course, Liu Mengyao didn’t care about the money from streaming; what she cared about was when Lin Xiaoqi would come online to watch her stream.
This was the sole motivation for her streaming.
Just as Liu Mengyao and Luo Keke were live streaming, the screen suddenly connected to the entire network’s top streamer, San Lu Zi.
As soon as San Lu Zi appeared, the viewership in Liu Mengyao and Luo Keke’s live streams surged by tens of thousands.
“Yo, aren’t these the two recently popular sisters? Everyone, we’ve encountered a formidable opponent!”
San Lu Zi rubbed his shiny head and said in a Northeastern accent, “Two beautiful ladies, I heard you have a big shot in your live stream, called Lin Xiaoqi. Why am I not convinced? A few bucks in your pocket, and you’re acting all high and mighty?”
“Hey, you donkey, you’re saying my大哥 Lin Xiaoqi is acting high and mighty, aren’t you?”
“You’re still a big streamer, why can’t you be more humble? Not convinced by this, not convinced by that. Luo Keke dislikes people like you the most. You’ll eventually be ‘barbie q’ and banned from the entire network!”
Luo Keke’s temper flared up, and she didn’t give San Lu Zi any pleasantries.
In the comment section, fans were frantically typing, praising Luo Keke for her bravery in even confronting San Lu Zi.
It was understandable, as San Lu Zi, being the biggest streamer on Doumao, had a fan base of up to seventy million. Any streamer who connected with him had to respectfully call him Brother Lu.
Only Luo Keke genuinely didn’t tolerate San Lu Zi, which caused the viewership in Luo Keke’s live stream to surge by another hundred thousand. Clearly, these people were here to watch the drama.
San Lu Zi was also surprised by Luo Keke’s sharp tongue and laughed, “Little sister, your banter is quite spirited. Why do I like you so much, Brother Lu?”
“Don’t say useless things. Sister Yao Yao, let’s hit him, beat him to death, and shut his mouth!”
Luo Keke said with disgust. Liu Mengyao then started playing the “Seven Princes Legion Battle Song” sent by fans.
