After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 283 - 281: You’re Really Courting Death!

Lu Shifeng had relied on his family's prestigious background in the Capital City, assuming he could act as arrogantly as he pleased in Hangcheng City without anyone daring to provoke him. However, he had hit an unexpected snag.

This Shen Fanyun was too ruthless, too contemptuous. He even dared to strike a prominent figure like him from the Capital City... It was simply defying the natural order.

BOOM!

A single kick from Shen Fanyun sent the unprepared Lu Shifeng flying several meters. He rolled several times after hitting the ground. An unbearable pain, the likes of which he had never felt before, left him completely unable to stand.

"Next time you see me, you walk the other way," Shen Fanyun said coolly.

"I know you're not convinced. That's fine. Feel free to retaliate. I'll be waiting."

Shen Fanyun had no interest in wasting time with such small fry. He turned and left the scene with Li Huanhuan, cutting a dashing figure. He left behind a crowd of people, stunned and frozen in place.

Good heavens. Forgetting Lu Shifeng for a moment, the top young master in the city, Han Feng, had been beaten like a dog. If word of this got out, how could the Han Family ever hold their heads high again?

"Is this going to stir up a massive storm?"

"Han Long is not someone to be trifled with. I'm afraid that kid is..."

The wedding was just around the corner, and all preparations were underway. What should have been a joyous occasion had nearly cost Han Feng his life on his own turf. What was the difference between this and having an intruder break into your home to beat you up in front of everyone? The Han Family, and Han Long in particular, valued their reputation above all else. Today's events were certain to cause a massive uproar.

"Master, you're so amazing!"

"What's your background? How can you dare to hit even Han Feng?"

Li Huanhuan was a local, so she had certainly heard of Han Feng's reputation and knew of the Han Family's high status in Hangcheng City. Ordinary people could only look up to them in awe. Who would ever have the guts to offend them, let alone start a fight? To put it bluntly, Han Long was the king of this city!

Li Huanhuan's eyes had been truly opened. She clung to Shen Fanyun's arm, swaying it back and forth. It had to be said, her flirtatious manner was truly intoxicating.

"A mere Han Long is nothing to be afraid of," Shen Fanyun said, giving her a playful pinch.

Li Huanhuan gritted her teeth. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Don't mess around in public! I'm a girl, you know? It's embarrassing!" she hissed, baring her teeth and giving him a light bite.

Shen Fanyun bared his teeth right back at her.

「Half an hour later.」

Li Qiuchan received the news that Han Feng had been admitted to the hospital. When she rushed over, she found Han Long and other Han family members standing outside the emergency room, their faces grim. The scene made Li Qiuchan's heart plummet to the depths of her stomach. What happened? How did Han Feng get into this state so quickly? And it looks even worse than last time...

Knowing that Han Long had never once looked at her with any sort of approval, Li Qiuchan didn't dare approach right away. She hated living such a stifling life, but she had no choice but to endure it.

The atmosphere relaxed considerably once it was confirmed that Han Feng's injuries weren't life-threatening. The heavy weight in Li Qiuchan's chest finally lifted, and she patted her heart, still shaken from the ordeal.

Han Long, his expression grave and exceptionally cold, shot a meaningful glance at Li Qiuchan. Her heart skipped a beat. Could this have something to do with me?

"Father... Father-in-law," Li Qiuchan stammered, forcing herself to speak.

"Shen Fanyun was the one who did this," Han Long stated flatly.

"Argh, that bastard again!" Li Qiuchan was furious. Shen Fanyun had gone against them time and time again.

It hadn't been long since the first time Han Feng was beaten, and now he was back in the hospital for the second time. Was Shen Fanyun specifically targeting Han Feng? What in the world were his subordinates paid for?

"I'm also to blame for not taking enough precautions," Han Long sneered. "I see it clearly now. That kid is coming for us."

Though he didn't say it outright, Li Qiuchan could tell Han Long was blaming her as well. After all, if it hadn't been for her past entanglement with Shen Fanyun, they wouldn't be facing such turmoil all these years later.

But Li Qiuchan knew better than anyone that Shen Fanyun's true target was Han Long himself. She didn't dare point this out. Han Long would never admit it; he would probably just vent his anger on her, deciding she was an unlucky woman who brought misfortune to the Han Family.

"You can go home for now," Han Long said, waving his hand dismissively. He was signaling for her to leave, that there was no need for her to remain at the hospital.

Li Qiuchan was reluctant. "I... I want to see Han Feng."

"I'll leave after I can confirm he's really okay. Can I?"

A single sharp glare from Han Long made Li Qiuchan jump. She didn't dare hesitate any longer and nodded quickly. "Okay, okay."

Li Qiuchan felt utterly suffocated. She needed permission from her future father-in-law just to see the man she was about to marry. If Han Long refused, she wouldn't even have a chance to spend a private moment with Han Feng. They were both nearly thirty, yet their interactions were still being controlled by an elder. What kind of life is this? Is this really how a newlywed couple is supposed to act?

"Sigh..." Li Qiuchan left the hospital, all alone.

After Li Qiuchan was gone, a man with a crew cut approached Han Long.

Ignoring the hospital's rules, Han Long lit a cigarette. He exhaled a cloud of smoke and said, "Go to the Capital City. Find some renowned masters and bring them here. I'll pay whatever it costs. Get them here as soon as possible."

His eyes glinted with a menacing light. This pest, Shen Fanyun, was getting more and more audacious right under his nose. Before, they could all turn a blind eye, let things be, and pretend the other didn't exist. Why dig up old grudges? Wouldn't it be better to just let the past be the past? But no, Shen Fanyun just had to pop up and court death.

"Since you don't want to live, I'll be happy to send you on your way."

Han Long's pupils were filled with killing intent. This time, he was truly enraged and had resolved to kill. If he remembered correctly, Shen Fanyun's family still lived in Hangcheng City, didn't they? He has a weakness, yet he's still this brazen? Does he really think I'm some principled, virtuous man? How arrogant! What kind of powerful man isn't ruthless and willing to do whatever it takes? What use is a moral bottom line?

"Give the order to seize all of Shen Fanyun's relatives," he commanded. "Since that tactless piece of scum is dead set on fighting me to the end, then fine. Let him have a taste of what it's like to lose his loved ones first."

The subordinate nodded and left at once.

After strolling around with Li Huanhuan for a while, Shen Fanyun realized it had been some time since he'd been home. He found himself missing his parents' cooking, so he hailed a taxi and headed back. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

At that moment, news of Han Feng's predicament was already spreading throughout the city.
