Chapter 640: Chapter 639: Play a Big Game
Three days later, at two in the morning, Korea Capital Airport.
Yang Fei, Umekawa Taro, and the three Xu brothers, a party of five, landed at the airport on the Xu family’s private jet.
No sooner had the plane come to a halt than they saw six luxury cars arrive in procession, parking beside the aircraft.
The six chauffeurs, all dressed in black suits, got out of their vehicles, opened the car doors, then stood by the cars respectfully, waiting.
One of the women who got out of a stretch Bentley was wearing an ivory suit with her hair tied back in a simple ponytail, looking sleek and commanding.
She was Li Xuanyu, the current helmsman of Han City’s largest tycoon family.
As Yang Fei and the others descended from the plane, Li Xuanyu greeted them with a smile.
She gave Yang Fei a warm hug and then extended her hand to Umekawa Taro and the Xu brothers.
Having not met the three from the Xu family before, she specifically turned her gaze toward Yang Fei.
Yang Fei introduced them, "The three Xu seniors, Xu Yunshan, Xu Liangyou, and Mr. Xu Xiao, the seniors from the Xu family. This is Li Xuanyu, the current helmsman of the Li Family’s Financial Group."
"Young and promising!" Xu Yunshan said with a smile as he shook hands with Li Xuanyu.
When Xu Xiao heard her calling him senior, he said, "We consider ourselves peers with Young Master Yang, and since you are his good friend, you should do the same. Just call us Mr. Xu; calling us senior is too formal."
"Mr. Xu." Li Xuanyu corrected herself.
Xu Xiao smiled in response.
As friends of Yang Fei, and being the helmsman of the Li Family’s Financial Group, even though the three from the Xu family were older and of a higher generation, they didn’t take liberties and gave her their full attention.
Yang Fei was invited to ride in the car with Li Xuanyu.
The three Xu brothers and Umekawa Taro each got into different cars.
The cars drove towards the exit of the airport, and inside the stretch Bentley, Li Xuanyu scrutinized Yang Fei’s face before smiling and saying, "Umekawa Taro mentioned that you seem to be having some relationship troubles?"
Yang Fei said soundlessly, "I didn’t expect this guy to be such a blabbermouth."
Li Xuanyu laughed, "Got tired of married life after the novelty wore off, huh?"
Yang Fei gave her a helpless glance, "I came here to help you with serious business."
"Your relationship problems are a big deal to the International Madman Organization," Li Xuanyu said with a laugh.
Yang Fei waved his hand, "I’m not in the mood, don’t bring it up."
Li Xuanyu chuckled, her eyes hooking onto Yang Fei, "So that means you’re single now?"
Yang Fei’s heart raced for a moment.
In the past, he hadn’t quite understood, and with a principle of not getting involved with those close to him, he had been indifferent to all of Li Xuanyu’s hints, ignoring them entirely. But now, having been through a wedding and having had Tong Yunshu as a confidante, he knew all too well how enticing a woman like Li Xuanyu could be as a man who had experienced the matters of men and women.
However, he quickly adjusted his mentality, entering a more stoical mode.
He had indeed quarreled with Qin Yanyang, but in his heart, Qin Yanyang was still his wife, and he was sure they would reconcile in the future.
Despite the difficulties that may lie ahead, deep down, Yang Fei had never considered divorce, nor had he contemplated not making up with Qin Yanyang.
With Tong Yunshu, it was because it happened before Qin Yanyang, and it was already a done deal, so Yang Fei had no regret or self-reproach.
But to let himself go because of a fight with Qin Yanyang and get together with Li Xuanyu, he really couldn’t do it.
Li Xuanyu, sitting across from Yang Fei, seemed almost to be spinning a web with her eyes; she clearly sensed Yang Fei’s racing heart, but soon the man regained his composure, even deliberately avoiding her gaze.
Li Xuanyu felt a mix of disappointment and sorrow stir within her.
Had she misplaced her affections after all?
Setting aside her emotional distractions, Li Xuanyu said with a smile, "I’ll stop teasing you. I know you’re a man of great fidelity, okay?"
Yang Fei gave an awkward smile.
At the mention of the word fidelity, he felt somewhat ashamed.
If he truly exemplified fidelity, he wouldn’t have argued with Qin Yanyang in the first place.
And yet, to call himself fickle in love seemed a bit much too.
Given his circumstances, if he was truly fickle and dissolute, could there only be Tong Yunshu besides Qin Yanyang?
At this thought, he felt an absurd sense of grievance rising within him.
Sensing his own feelings of being wronged, Yang Fei was startled and quickly adjusted his mindset, changing the subject, "You mentioned on the phone that you wanted to play a big game, what do you mean?"
When it came to serious matters, Li Xuanyu also became solemn. She looked at Yang Fei and said, "You should know about the situation in Korea, right?"
Yang Fei was taken aback and asked, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
"The military."
Yang Fei’s brow twitched as he looked at Li Xuanyu.
She said she wanted to play a big game, and now she mentioned the military.
Yang Fei felt his heart race, suddenly realizing that the few women he knew were all rather crazy.
There’s no need to mention Qin Yanyang; her decisiveness and resilience allowed her to have a certain degree of influence in Divine Continent, a place that values seniority. Describing her as a strong woman would not be an exaggeration.
Tong Yunshu was originally just a strong woman in business, but after inheriting the Great Yellow Court from Tong Yan and gaining some understanding of the Hidden Sect and other three major secret realms, as well as the structure of the secular world, she claimed that the future world would undergo significant change. She was very visionary in wanting to cultivate her power in advance, and her ambition was not small.
The Li Xuanyu in front of him showed Yang Fei a different side altogether.
In his memory, she wasn’t this crazy before.
How could her thoughts change just a few months after returning to the leadership of Li Family’s Financial Group?
Is it because her status has changed, and so have her perspective and vision?
It seems ambition is a demon hidden inside everyone, just waiting for the right moment to be unleashed.
"What do you mean?" Yang Fei looked at Li Xuanyu and asked.
Although he had some suspicions in his mind, he still wanted to hear it from Li Xuanyu herself.
"You should know about my family’s position in Korea, right?" Li Xuanyu said.
Yang Fei nodded.
The joy of the Korea Conglomerate is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The power they hold in this country could only be described with one phrase—hand and eye reach the sky.
"If I say Korea belongs to my Li Family, do you think I’m bluffing?" Li Xuanyu asked.
Yang Fei took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and said, "From some perspectives, that statement isn’t boasting, but Korea isn’t just owned by your family’s conglomerate— at best, your family is just the most powerful."
"That’s why I want you guys to come over. Let’s play a big game and make Korea belong only to the Li Family’s Financial Group. In this way, Korea will be mine," Li Xuanyu said with a smiling face.
Yang Fei took a deep breath, suddenly feeling that the woman before him seemed a bit unfamiliar.
He felt even more as though he were conversing with a madman.
What in the world was going on?
Were all women this crazy?
"Ahem, well, I am indeed here to help you, but I didn’t expect to play at such a large scale. And more importantly, isn’t our immediate priority to seek revenge on Sky Net?" Yang Fei challenged his good mood, looking earnestly at Li Xuanyu and said.
Li Xuanyu heard the refusal in Yang Fei’s words. Her eyes dimmed a little, and she said in a low voice, "It’s not that I want to play so big, but the Jin Family and other families have teamed up. They want to completely erase the Li Family’s Financial Group and then directly control the country."
Yang Fei’s expression changed subtly.
He knew the Korea Conglomerate held a superior position in the country and was quite arrogant, but he never thought their ambition was so great that they would now seek to completely dominate a country.
Was the world really about to change?
While he was still in shock, suddenly a sense of alarm rose within him.
He looked up sharply towards the car window.
The piercing sound of something slicing through the air penetrated the well-insulated vehicle and reached his ears.
Two words flashed in Yang Fei’s mind.
Attacked!
