Chapter 081: Your Beautiful Boss Has Quite a Temper!

“Well? Do you dare deny that my method isn’t the most direct and effective?” Blood Fox retorted, clearly displeased with the way Ji Wenxuan was looking at him.

Ji Wenxuan shook his head. “I admit your method is the most effective, but I guarantee you absolutely won’t be able to pull it off.”

“You doubt my strength? You think I can’t kill Lin Cong, that rich brat?” Blood Fox replied coldly.

This time, Ji Wenxuan couldn’t even be bothered to look at him. He turned to Chu Fei. “Is this idiot really your brother? How is he still alive?”

Young Master Ji’s expression was rather strange.

It was hard to blame him—he genuinely couldn’t believe that someone so brainless had survived this long. It was a miracle.

The eldest son of the Lin family wasn’t so easy to kill. Even if he managed to do it, what good would it do? It would only bring a tidal wave of vengeance from the entire Lin family. Had this idiot not considered any of that?

Chu Fei was speechless as well. “As much as I’d rather not admit it, this idiot really is my brother. As for how he’s still alive…” Chu Fei glanced at Blood Fox, whose face looked rather grim. “I also think it’s a miracle he’s still breathing.”

“Damn!” Blood Fox’s face twisted, and he looked at the two, teeth clenched. “I admit my brain isn’t as monstrous as yours, but do you have to rub it in so much?”

“If rubbing it in makes your brain sharper, I’d rather give you a little more stimulation,” Ji Wenxuan replied with a faint smile.

“Ji Wenxuan, do you believe I’ll slaughter you if you keep provoking me?” Blood Fox was infuriated.

“You wouldn’t dare.”

Ji Wenxuan remained calm, smiling at Blood Fox. “Even if you did, Chu Fei wouldn’t let you harm me.”

“Damn!” Blood Fox was truly at a loss. Confronted with these cunning minds, he had no choice but to retreat. He spun around and walked out of the living room. “Carry on, I won’t bother you.” Thoroughly defeated, Blood Fox left.

Ji Wenxuan and Chu Fei exchanged glances.

After a while, Ji Wenxuan looked at Chu Fei. “Do you think he’ll really act on impulse and try to assassinate Young Master Lin?”

“He shouldn’t be that brainless, right?” Chu Fei was uncertain. Blood Fox’s mind was straightforward, and his methods were brutally direct—even vicious—but not entirely useless.

Ji Wenxuan nodded and asked, “What do you plan to do? Will you attend the birthday banquet?”

“If I don’t go, even you would look down on me, wouldn’t you?” Chu Fei forced a smile.

“It doesn’t matter what others think. What matters is having a clear conscience,” Ji Wenxuan laughed lightly.

“You used to say you spent three years in a monastery. I never believed it. Now I do. The way you talk sounds just like a monk chanting scriptures—so full of mystery, yet not a word of substance, all nonsense.” Chu Fei made a face at Ji Wenxuan.

Ji Wenxuan didn’t get angry. Only Chu Fei dared speak to him that way.

“Do you need me to step in?”

Ji Wenxuan hesitated, his gaze sincere.

“No need.”

Chu Fei politely declined Young Master Ji’s offer. He knew exactly what Ji Wenxuan intended. With Ji Wenxuan’s current status and the Ji family’s backing, his appearance at Old Master Fu’s birthday banquet would cause a sensation. If Ji Wenxuan stood by Chu Fei’s side—even if he said nothing, just his presence would make things very interesting.

But Chu Fei didn’t want that. First, it went against Ji Wenxuan’s usual approach; second, the Ji family would certainly not approve.

“I knew you’d say that,” Ji Wenxuan smiled softly, unsurprised. He continued, “So what’s your plan? You’re going alone? Aren’t you worried you won’t make it back?”

“No one dares harm me,” Chu Fei said, pressing his lips together.

Ji Wenxuan was taken aback, then nodded. “True, no one dares harm you. But that doesn’t mean no one will provoke you. The Lin family’s proposal is a perfect example. Moreover…” Ji Wenxuan paused, looking at Chu Fei. “You should be able to guess the hidden message behind this.”

“What message?” Chu Fei feigned ignorance.

“If the Fu family didn’t approve, this news would never have spread,” Ji Wenxuan said quietly, frowning slightly, tapping his fingers on the coffee table as he continued to analyze, “In fact, Old Master Fu probably already agreed to the marriage in private. Otherwise, the Lin family wouldn’t dare make such a public display. The so-called proposal is just a formality. Given that, Fu Ziqing’s situation is truly difficult.”

Chu Fei stayed silent; he had thought of all this long ago.

“Also, with the Lin and Fu families teaming up for this farce, there must be another purpose.” Ji Wenxuan smiled faintly, looking at Chu Fei. “They’re testing—testing the limits of Miracle Doctor Chu, to see if he’ll show up this time.”

“The old trickster won’t show up,” Chu Fei shook his head. He knew that man too well. Neither the Lin nor the Fu family mattered to him; he wouldn’t be provoked or rushed.

Chu Fei was curious about how powerful that old trickster had been. Every clue indicated his strength and defiance of fate, but Chu Fei couldn’t uncover anything about what happened more than twenty years ago, especially about the trickster’s past. It was as if the entire East Sea had been collectively brainwashed, making it an unsolvable mystery.

“That’s not certain,” Ji Wenxuan smiled softly.

“I’d actually like him to show up,” Chu Fei replied, not wanting to continue the topic.

Ji Wenxuan gave him a complex look but didn’t press further. He was curious about Chu Fei’s relationship with Miracle Doctor Chu but wouldn’t pry. After a moment’s thought, Ji Wenxuan said, “Are you sure you don’t need my help? I’ll head back tonight.”

“So soon?” Chu Fei was surprised.

“Tian Ding’s had some trouble, and I need to deal with it personally,” Ji Wenxuan said with a sigh. He wasn’t worried about Tian Ding Group, but Tian Ding Venture Capital was another matter, especially in the last two years. There were always petty tricks. He’d deliberately set up a trap before leaving, and sure enough, as soon as he left, the other side couldn’t resist making a move, which he caught red-handed. Now he had to return to handle the aftermath.

“All right,” Chu Fei nodded, not asking for details about Tian Ding’s troubles.

“I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, Yan Chu’s ability to handle Xing Yue’s business is child’s play,” Ji Wenxuan smiled, apparently reading Chu Fei’s thoughts.

“I trust her too,” Chu Fei smiled.

“There’s something I originally wanted to discuss with you seriously, but now that Blood Fox has left…” Ji Wenxuan looked at Chu Fei with a grave expression. “Blood Fox is your brother. You’d better warn him—China isn’t Europe, nor South Africa. The rules here won’t allow a malignant tumor to exist. Tell him to leave some room in his actions. I may not like him, but I don’t want to end up visiting his grave.”

Ji Wenxuan’s expression was serious…

——

“That show-off really said that before leaving?”

Blood Fox looked at Chu Fei, face full of frustration. The guy could have just left, but had to insult him on the way out. Was there any point?

“It’s not just Ji Wenxuan’s opinion. Honestly, I’m worried too. The way you took out Cai Jiu and Xiao Bing was already against the rules of the game. If you keep acting without restraint, I’m truly worried…” Chu Fei trailed off, his gaze full of concern for Blood Fox.

If it were Ji Wenxuan saying this, Blood Fox would have ignored it or been annoyed. But coming from Chu Fei, it was different, especially seeing Chu Fei’s sincere, worried look. Blood Fox’s heart warmed, and he grinned. “Do you really think I’m some brainless berserker?”

“Heh—” Chu Fei smiled bitterly. He knew Blood Fox wasn’t truly mindless, but he still worried. He knew Blood Fox’s past too well; this killer harbored a deep resentment toward the wealthy, especially the great families. That’s why he’d immediately talked about knocking off Lin Cong earlier. Chu Fei believed it wasn’t mere impulsiveness; without Ji Wenxuan and his own later words, Blood Fox might really have gone to assassinate Lin Cong.

“Relax, I know what I’m doing. I won’t become an enemy on all sides. Don’t you trust me?” Blood Fox grinned at Chu Fei.

“Of course I trust you. I’m just worried about your subordinates,” Chu Fei laughed.

“Liu Huamei is reliable. She wouldn’t dare go behind my back,” Blood Fox misunderstood Chu Fei’s meaning.

“You’ve got it wrong, I didn’t mean Liu Huamei. Just think things through before you act,” Chu Fei stopped advising; Blood Fox wasn’t a child.

Blood Fox laughed loudly, then suddenly said, “By the way, you look pretty stressed. Want to let off some steam?”

Chu Fei was startled, then saw Blood Fox raise two fingers and snap them at him, thinking Blood Fox meant the shooting range. He shook his head. “No thanks.”

“I’m not talking about the shooting range. There’s a big company doing new employee training here this week. A batch arrived today and just went into the back hills. Imagine what happens if two vicious wolves suddenly appear in the jungle.” Blood Fox grinned, visibly excited.

Chu Fei’s eyes widened in shock, finally realizing what Blood Fox meant. He wanted him to barge into the company’s training jungle and wreak havoc.

A jungle killer hunting a group of inexperienced new employees…

Could this lunatic be any more bored?

Chu Fei was about to refuse when his phone rang. He took it out, his expression turning odd. After a moment’s hesitation, he answered with a bitter smile.

“Chu Fei, where have you been? Why haven’t you come to work yet?” Ximen Lu’s irritated voice came through the phone.

“I had something come up, just—”

Chu Fei was interrupted before he could finish.

“I don’t care what you’re doing outside. You must come back before noon. Don’t forget what you promised me this morning.”

Ximen Lu hung up immediately, not giving Chu Fei a chance to explain…

Blood Fox had heard every word, and now he sidled up, grinning. “Chu Fei, your beautiful boss has quite a temper, huh? What did you promise her this morning—did you not satisfy her last night?”

“Get lost!” Chu Fei, already annoyed, cursed aloud…
