Faced with Li Zhong’s doubts, Chen Fei did not hide the truth. Instead, he removed his mask in front of him.
“Li Zhong, I owe you. You suffered because of me,” Chen Fei said with deep sorrow as he looked at his loyal servant, who was willing to die to protect him.
“Young Master!” Li Zhong was overwhelmed with emotion when he recognized Chen Fei. He immediately attempted to kneel.
“It’s me!”
“I have not only recovered, but I have also reached new heights!”
Chen Fei stopped Li Zhong from kneeling.
“This is wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!” Tears welled up in Li Zhong’s eyes as excitement overtook him. He had never imagined that sending his young master to the Su family as a son-in-law would not only save his life but also elevate him to a level where he could single-handedly suppress the entire Qin family.
“Young Master, I always knew that a tiger father would not have a dog son. One day, you will return to the Chen family, take revenge for the Master, and make those who abandoned you regret their actions!” Li Zhong held Chen Fei’s hands tightly, his gaze filled with hope.
“That day will come, and it won’t be long,” Chen Fei assured him.
Chen Fei knew there was still a part of his identity hidden from him. Li Zhong refused to disclose it, claiming he would only reveal the truth once Chen Fei reached the Spirit Commanding Realm.
Until now, as a transmigrator from Earth who had taken over this body, Chen Fei had not been particularly concerned about its original owner’s past. Thus, he never pressed for answers.
But now, after seeing Li Zhong risk his life for him, Chen Fei felt he owed him a debt that must be repaid.
“Young Master, since you have the strength to wipe out the Qin family, why not just kill them all?”
“The Qin family is full of ungrateful and ruthless people. If they regain power, they will undoubtedly seek revenge.”
“If the weeds aren’t uprooted, they will regrow with the spring breeze.”
Li Zhong looked at Chen Fei in confusion.
“Killing them outright would be too easy!” Chen Fei said coldly. “I want them to die in despair. More importantly, I want Qin Shuang to crawl back to me.”
“My child is innocent,” he explained.
“Young Master, do you already have a plan?” Li Zhong asked. “What do you need me to do?”
“Just stay here and focus on recovering. Leave the rest to me.”
After settling Li Zhong, Chen Fei left the courtyard.
That afternoon, wearing his mask and assuming the identity of Chen Yang, he arrived at Huang Yue Tower.
He wasn’t alone. He was accompanied by nearly ninety percent of the Qin family’s trade supervisors—men he had recruited himself. Because of his relationship with Qin Shuang, they had indirectly become part of the Qin family.
When Chen Fei was betrayed, these men had been caught off guard. Some even tried to defend him, only to be violently suppressed by the Qin family, forcing them into submission.
But now, news of Chen Fei’s “elder brother” crushing the Qin family had spread, reigniting their spirits.
So when they received word that “Chen Yang” wanted to meet them, they all rushed to the meeting without hesitation.
By the time a single meal was finished, they had all severed ties with the Qin family and returned to Chen Fei’s control.
This was the influence Chen Fei had as the mastermind behind the Qin family’s commercial empire!
In just one night, the Qin family’s trade network began to collapse, and trouble came knocking.
—
“How did this happen?”
“A bunch of ungrateful traitors! Why did they all betray us at the same time?”
“If we fail to fulfill our contracts, we won’t just lose hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in monthly profits. We’ll also face compensation fees of millions of spirit stones!”
“The Qin family could go bankrupt because of this!”
Late at night, the Qin family received reports from various trade hubs, sending them into a frenzy.
“This is the revenge Chen Fei’s elder brother spoke of!”
The Second Elder looked helplessly at Qin Xiaotian. “Patriarch, what should we do?”
At this moment, all eyes were on Qin Xiaotian. If they couldn’t stop this disaster, the Qin family would be ruined overnight, losing its place among the three great families of Huangwu City.
“The Qin family’s trade business was built by Chen Fei. Now that his elder brother has appeared, it’s only natural that they follow him,” Qin Xiaotian said bitterly.
“But don’t worry. The Qin family won’t fall.”
“Once I master the ‘Heavenly Dragon Claw’—a spirit-grade martial art—Chen Fei’s so-called elder brother will die.”
“When that happens, our crisis will resolve itself.”
With that, Qin Xiaotian turned and left.
As the patriarch departed, the Qin family’s elders and executives were filled with unease.
Could mastering a single martial art really resolve the crisis?
They had no confidence.
Some of them were already wavering, regretting their past actions against Chen Fei.
But Qin Xiaotian and Qin Shuang’s authority loomed over them, preventing any open defiance.
If even the high-ranking members had such thoughts, what about the lower ranks?
—
At the Su family.
After persuading the Qin family’s trade supervisors to defect, Chen Fei had not only plunged the Qin family into financial ruin but also taken two hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones and a priceless Tier-2 spiritual elixir—the Silver-Winged Golden Eagle Pill.
This elixir had originally been a congratulatory gift for Qin Shuang, one that Chen Fei had spent a staggering hundred thousand spirit stones to acquire at an auction.
“Qin Shuang, you had the heart to betray me. But can you stand by and watch your family suffer in despair?”
After returning to the Su family, Chen Fei patiently awaited Qin Shuang’s return.
As soon as he stepped into his marital chamber, Miao Yue walked in.
“Young Master, where have you been? You were gone the entire afternoon,” she asked.
“Is something wrong?” Chen Fei replied without explaining.
“Something big happened!” Miao Yue exaggerated. “Your elder brother has arrived in Huangwu City to support you!”
“Come with me. The Lord has been waiting for you all afternoon,” she urged.
“I have no elder brother,” Chen Fei stated firmly.
“How can that be? The entire city is talking about your elder brother, Chen Yang. They say he wears an iron mask, moves like a cold-faced death god, and single-handedly forced the Qin family’s patriarch to kneel and beg for mercy!” Miao Yue exclaimed.
“I’ll say it again—I have no elder brother. I am alone. The rumors outside must be a misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with me.”
Chen Fei’s unwavering tone made Miao Yue hesitate. Could it be that Chen Yang wasn’t really his brother, but just a smokescreen to deal with the Qin family?
“Then… what should I tell the Lord?” Miao Yue frowned. The entire Su family was abuzz with speculation, with many saying they had struck gold by marrying Chen Fei, whose background was likely extraordinary.
But now, Chen Fei himself was denying everything.
“You explain it to him,” Chen Fei said before turning toward his bed, uninterested in further discussion.
Seeing this, Miao Yue had no choice but to leave.
The moment she stepped out, a secret chamber’s door quietly opened.
Dripping wet, Su Qing walked out, curiously observing Chen Fei as he lay on the bed.
“Chen Yang isn’t really your brother?” she asked, shutting the door behind her.
Ignoring her, she casually walked to the wardrobe and began changing her clothes, unconcerned about Chen Fei’s presence.
