I will make him regret it

Long Huijuan had rented out an entire café. Around the outside of the café, dozens of men in black suits stood guard to keep outsiders from coming in.

Inside the café, there were only Long Fei and Long Huijuan.

"Little Feifei, where have you been these past few years? Your aunt and everyone else were very worried about you."

"Heh." Long Fei let out a cold laugh.

Hearing those words from his aunt's mouth sounded deeply ironic to Long Fei. Aside from his three sisters, he only believed his aunt had truly been worried about him. As for the rest of the family worrying about him, he only wanted to laugh.

When his parents had died in an accident, the only people who had handled their funeral affairs were his aunt and his eldest sister. No one else had helped. (His maternal grandparents had passed away one after another when Long Fei was still a child.)

His paternal grandparents had not even offered them condolences. His two uncles had only coveted the assets his parents had left them, and had even thought of ways to seize the inheritance his parents had left behind.

Listening to her nephew's cold laugh, Long Huijuan understood his attitude. When Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law had passed away, what her other brothers had done had truly chilled the hearts of her nephew and nieces.

"Little Feifei, take this. This is a small token from your aunt. It's an anonymous bank card and can be used at any bank in the world." Long Huijuan took out a gold bank card and pushed it in front of Long Fei.

Long Fei had wanted to refuse, but then he thought that although the company was currently showing some improvement, it still needed a great deal of funding for development.

"Thank you, Aunt." Long Fei put the gold bank card into his pocket.

"Well..." Long Huijuan hesitated, as if there was something she wanted to say but could not bring herself to.

"Aunt, if there's something you want to say, just say it."

"It's like this. Your grandfather arranged a marriage for you."

Long Fei narrowed his eyes, rage flaring within them.

"What does that old man mean by this?" Long Fei's tone revealed his anger.

"The marriage your grandfather arranged for you is an alliance with the daughter of the Shu Family, the eldest young lady of the Shu Family, Shu Qianxue. Your grandfather arranged for you to marry into the Shu Family."

Long Fei clenched his fists. Long Dingkun was using him as a chess piece. It seemed the Long Family and the Shu Family had some enormous cooperative project, but in order to make both sides trust each other, Long Dingkun had treated him, Long Fei, as a discarded pawn and sent him to the Shu Family as a hostage.

Long Fei stood up and said to his aunt, "Pass a message to that damned old man for me. Tell him I'm not his chess piece. And tell him I'll make him regret it." Without looking back, Long Fei left the café.

Long Huijuan sighed. She also knew that her father's arrangement had indeed gone too far. He had acted on his own without discussing it with anyone.

Just as Long Fei walked out of the café, Li Xiucheng's scream and a girl's angry shout came from not far away.

"Li Xiucheng, stop right there!"

Long Fei looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Xiucheng being chased by a young woman.

The young woman had an oval face and sweet features, but her current expression was one of anger as she chased Li Xiucheng. Long Fei knew this young woman. Her surname was Lin, and her name was Yuehua.

She was Li Xiucheng's fiancée. Lin Yuehua was also a young lady from a distinguished family. The two families had arranged a marriage for them when they were children.

Although Lin Yuehua was one year younger than them, she could still be considered a childhood playmate who had grown up with them. Long Fei knew that Lin Yuehua had liked Li Xiucheng since she was little, had always regarded Li Xiucheng as her man, and hated it when members of the opposite sex got close to him.

However, Li Xiucheng had always treated Lin Yuehua like a younger sister.

Li Xiucheng happened to see Long Fei and quickly ran behind him.

Long Fei stretched out a hand and blocked Lin Yuehua's head, making her stop.

Lin Yuehua looked closely and realized it was Long Fei.

"So it's you, Long Fei. Long time no see." Lin Yuehua's pleasant voice came from her mouth.

"It really has been a long time. About three years since we last met, right? Why are you here?"

"I was taking a walk with your aunt to relax. I didn't expect to run into Brother Xiucheng here."

Long Huijuan happened to walk out of the café.

"Little Chengcheng, why did you join a mercenary group?" Long Huijuan asked as she looked at the emblem on the mercenary uniform Li Xiucheng was wearing.

"I'm following Brother Long now. Brother Long is my boss." Li Xiucheng pointed at Long Fei and laughed.

The two women looked astonished. Long Huijuan had not expected that the nephew she had not seen in years had actually become the boss of a mercenary group.

"Little Feifei, you actually opened a mercenary company? Do you know how to fight wars? Do you know how to mobilize and command troops?" Long Huijuan asked with worry written all over her face.

"Auntie Long, don't..." When Li Xiucheng saw the murderous look in Long Huijuan's eyes, he quickly gave a dry cough and continued, "Sister Long, don't worry. Long Fei is way better than me. No one pilots MS better than him, and he even founded an arms manufacturing company. A lot of the weapons are..."

"Xiucheng!" Long Fei glared at Li Xiucheng, as if warning him not to run his mouth.

Li Xiucheng quickly covered his mouth with both hands.

At that moment, Long Huijuan thought for a while and remembered that when her nephew was young, he had been a weapons fanatic. As a child, he had often drawn robots, battleships, war vehicles, and the like. The anime, novels, comics, and so on that he often watched and read had all been about things like MS and war. In that case, when her nephew had left home three years ago and founded a company, it must have been because he wanted to fulfill his dream.

Long Fei then took a controller out of his pocket and pressed one of its buttons. Not far away, a motorcycle automatically drove over and stopped in front of Long Fei.

Long Fei put on his helmet, turned to look at Li Xiucheng, and asked, "Are you staying here, or are you coming back with me?"

"Going back, of course."

Lin Yuehua had been about to speak and ask Li Xiucheng to stay, but Long Huijuan gave her a look. Lin Yuehua closed her mouth and watched the two men ride their motorcycles away from the scene.

At that moment, a bodyguard came to Long Huijuan's side and whispered in her ear.

After Long Huijuan nodded, she gave the bodyguard a few instructions by his ear, then took Lin Yuehua back to the hotel.

"Eldest Miss, this is the information we've received so far on Young Master Long Fei."

Long Huijuan looked at the intelligence report the bodyguard had presented, resting her chin on her right hand as she said, "Little Feifei's no simple man. In just a few short years, he's expanded the company he founded to this scale."

A red-haired bodyguard reported to Long Huijuan, "Eldest Miss, we've just received intelligence. Young Master Long Fei is currently resting aboard an escort ship. The escort ship is a warship belonging to the mercenary group under his name. It will remain there for two days, both for repairs and to see if anyone comes to them with a commission."

Long Huijuan pointed at the red-haired bodyguard and curled her finger, signaling for him to come over.

After she gave him a few instructions by his ear, the red-haired bodyguard bowed to Long Huijuan, then left the room to handle the matter.

"Eldest Miss, should we capture Young Master Long Fei and bring him home?" a middle-aged, black-haired bodyguard asked Long Huijuan for instructions.

Long Huijuan glared angrily at the middle-aged, black-haired bodyguard. He immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at the eldest miss.

"Uncle Qian Tong, you watched me grow up, so you understand as well. I've always doted on Little Feifei the most. If I did that, Little Feifei would hate me for the rest of his life."

"Yes, Miss." Qian Tong stepped back and stood respectfully at the side.

"You all may leave. I'm tired. I want to rest." Long Huijuan waved her hand, and the bodyguards withdrew from the room.

Long Huijuan went to bed to rest.

Long Fei was resting in his room at that moment when he received a communication from the captain.

He learned that someone had commissioned them to escort the employer to the Gangze Ancient Kingdom. Escorting an employer was normally nothing more than an ordinary matter.

What was strange was that the price the other party offered was extremely high. They had offered one billion yuan for a single escort job, which made the captain wonder if there was something fishy about it. For the moment, he did not dare accept the commission and reported directly to Long Fei to request instructions.

Long Fei guessed who had commissioned them and instructed the captain to accept the job.
