My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 117 - 116: Desperate Straits

Dongfang Jian forced a bitter smile, "It seems that Su Xiaorou and I are truly not fated to be together, what a pity, such a pity indeed." Just as success was within reach, unexpected complications arose. "It's all because of Gao Fei! If not for his meddling, Su Xiaorou and I would have been together long ago!"

"What's the use of saying these things now?" Dongfang Fengyun also felt a burning frustration inside, "You brought all of this upon yourself. If you hadn't acted recklessly and given Gao Fei something to latch onto, why would I have to hold back in fear of him?"

Dongfang Jian clamped his mouth shut, no longer speaking.

...

Dongfang Fengyun picked up his cell phone and called Su Zhentian.

"Dongfang brother, what do you need from me?" A weary voice came from the phone.

"Brother Su..." Dongfang Fengyun hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Didn't I lend you over twenty billion? Please return it to me as soon as you can."

"Ah?" Su Zhentian was stunned, "Brother Dongfang, what's this... why the sudden urgency? You know my current situation, all my money is tied up in stocks... I simply can't repay it all of a sudden..."

"I know it's difficult for you, but it's even more difficult for me," Dongfang Fengyun said with a bitter laugh, "You must return the money to me."

"Brother Dongfang, what exactly happened?"

"A few hours ago, Gao Fei came to see me."

"Gao Fei?! What did he want from you? Did he threaten you?"

"Yes, he threatened me. He has something on me and forced me to demand the money from you," Dongfang Fengyun explained. "Brother Su, please understand my situation. I truly have no other choice." Dongfang Fengyun had mentioned Gao Fei to shift Su Zhentian's anger towards him. It seemed his ploy had been successful.

"Gao Fei!" Su Zhentian cursed through clenched teeth, "This despicable, shameless scoundrel! He and I are irreconcilable enemies!!!"

"Brother Su, I'm sorry," Dongfang Fengyun sighed, "I originally wanted to help you, but who knew... I feel that I have let you down."

"Don't worry, I'll return the money to you as soon as I can," Su Zhentian said. "Give me a few days to raise the funds. I will not drag you into this mess." With those words, Su Zhentian hung up the call.

...

Su Group.

The penthouse.

Within an opulent office.

Su Zhentian put down his phone, his expression ominously dark.

"Chairman, what's happened?" Ding Xiang placed a steaming cup of tea on the desk.

"It was a call from Dongfang Fengyun, demanding that I return the money as quickly as possible," Su Zhentian said, suppressing his anger, "How much money is left in the company's accounts now?"

"Only a few tens of millions," Ding Xiang replied, her face filled with worry. "Everything was fine before, why is Dongfang Fengyun suddenly pressing for payment? Hasn't he always supported you?"

"It's all because of Gao Fei," Su Zhentian, with his eyes bloodshot, said through gritted teeth, "Somehow, he got something on Dongfang Fengyun and then threatened him, demanding that he go after me for the money. It's so underhanded, so vile, so utterly despicable!"

"It's Gao Fei again, pulling strings from behind the scenes," Ding Xiang frowned. "Does he really want to completely annihilate us?"

"The banks are calling in loans, Dongfang Fengyun is also demanding payment... Money, money, money! It's all because of money!" Su Zhentian slammed the desk ferociously, "I'm almost suffocating! Choked by money!!!"

Ding Xiang bit her rosy lips, "Chairman, I don't know if I should say something..."

"Speak," Su Zhentian said impatiently, waving his hand, "Say whatever's on your mind."

"The reality has proven that we were all mistaken in the beginning," Ding Xiang said, while watching Su Zhentian's expression change, "Gao Fei is certainly no ordinary person, having become a wealthy tycoon in such a short time, and he also possesses an incredible network... Every encounter we've had with him has ended in a resounding defeat. If this continues, we won't be able to hold out..."

Su Zhentian looked up, his gaze cold as he fixed his eyes on Ding Xiang, "What are you trying to say, exactly?"

"Gao Fei is too dangerous. It would be best to be his friend, and if you can't be friends, it's best not to be enemies, either," Ding Xiang suggested tactfully.

"Friends?" Su Zhentian scoffed, "Are you joking with me?"

"Chairman, just bow your head," Ding Xiang said with all the courage she could muster, "You can't win against Gao Fei. While there's still a chance, you should apologize to him..."

"Shut up!" Su Zhentian roared, "Even if I die, I will never bow to Gao Fei! Never!!! If you dare speak like this to me again, I'll fire you!"

Seeing Su Zhentian's fury, Ding Xiang immediately clamped her mouth shut, not daring to utter another word.

Su Zhentian took a few deep breaths to forcibly suppress the raging anger in his chest, "It won't be so easy to crush me! What's so big about money!" He paused here, then continued, "Haven't we developed several properties recently? Start reducing their prices, sell them off as quickly as possible. And the stock in the warehouse, put it all on sale... The branches in the suburbs can be sold too.

In short, other than the company's stocks, everything else can be sold." Su Zhentian waved his hand dismissively, "Get to it."

Ding Xiang nodded and left the office.

Su Zhentian leaned back in his chair, his face looking extremely unsightly, "Gao Fei, I admit you're impressive! But bringing me down won't be that easy."

...

After much deliberation, Ding Xiang ultimately decided to talk to Su Xiaorou because if there was anyone who could solve the Su Group's predicament right now, it was definitely Su Xiaorou.

"Miss, the Chairman is facing difficulties right now, you must help him," Ding Xiang said with an emotional expression.

"What happened?" Su Xiaorou raised her delicate eyebrows.

"It's all because of Gao Fei." Ding Xiang said, "Gao Fei has been using despicable means to scheme against the Chairman..." She recounted everything that had happened in the past few days, "The Chairman has started selling off the Group's assets at a low price to pay off debts..."

Su Xiaorou was silent for a moment, "There's nothing I can do at this point."

"No, you can do something," Ding Xiang hurriedly said, "Talk to Gao Fei, ask him to show mercy and spare the Chairman."

"I should ask Gao Fei to show mercy?" Su Xiaorou let out a bitter laugh, "Would he listen to me?"

"He will! He definitely will!" Ding Xiang said, "I can tell, Gao Fei likes you..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Su Xiaorou's face darkened.

"I'm not talking nonsense." Ding Xiang shook her head vigorously, "I'm speaking the truth! I'm certain, based on a woman's intuition, that Gao Fei likes you!" She paused before continuing, "And I think... Miss, you also have feelings for Gao Fei... If it weren't for the Chairman's strong opposition, perhaps you and Gao Fei would have already been a couple."

"Are you done talking?" Su Xiaorou's face was cold, "If you are, then get out."

"Miss..."

"Get out!"

"...The Chairman hasn't slept for several days, he looks terrible, if you don't help him, he... he'll really be finished." After saying this, Ding Xiang left.

Alone in the office, Su Xiaorou's expression flickered between light and dark, Ding Xiang's words echoing in her mind, "Gao Fei likes you... I believe that you, Miss, also have good feelings for Gao Fei..."

"Does Gao Fei really like me?"

"And do I like Gao Fei?"

Su Xiaorou's eyes revealed a hint of confusion, "I don't know if I like him, but one thing I'm sure of is that Gao Fei makes me feel very different... Could this be what they call love?"

"Gao Fei oh Gao Fei, do you know that your arrival has completely messed up my life."

"Dad, you really made a mistake this time! And it's a huge blunder!"

"Such a headache!"

Su Xiaorou rubbed her forehead, speaking anxiously, "I really don't want to see Gao Fei right now."

...

Flowers bloom in their own ways, each showing its unique beauty.

Let's continue with Gao Fei.

After leaving Dongfang Group, he headed towards the parking area, and just as he did, two men suddenly rushed out from a diagonal direction. Without a word, they swung their fists at Gao Fei.

Gao Fei frowned, who were these people? Why were they attacking him, could they be Dongfang Fengyun's men wanting to snatch the recording pen? While deep in thought, Gao Fei made his move. His arm rose, and with a light sweep, he hit the two men's fists, "Bang bang!" The two men immediately flew backward, clutching their fists in pain, expressions of agony on their faces.

"Swoosh!"

Another man charged from behind, dagger in hand, and stabbed towards Gao Fei's back.

"Snap!"

Gao Fei caught the blade of the dagger between two fingers and with a slight exertion of force, "Crack!" the dagger snapped in two. He kicked back, striking the dagger-wielding man in the abdomen, and the man flew backwards as if he were riding the clouds.

"Clatter clatter..."

Across the street, over a dozen people burst forth, each holding a dagger, spreading out and moving in a fan-like formation to surround and attack Gao Fei.

Gao Fei's frown deepened, what the hell, they just wouldn't stop! Annoyed, Gao Fei started to fight more fiercely. He stamped his foot hard on the ground and then leaped into the air. Mid-jump, he pulled out a coin from his pocket and threw it using the "Scattering Blossoms" technique.

"Whizz whizz whizz whizz..."

"Ahh ahh ahh ahh..."

All the men wielding daggers fell to the ground, some clutching their arms and screaming in pain, some holding their thighs, and others covering their faces, all in disarray.

"Bang!"

A muffled bang suddenly came from a distance.

"Gunshots!" Gao Fei reacted swiftly, twisting his waist slightly, he flipped through the air, "Whizz whizz whizz..." Several bullets whizzed past his ears, Gao Fei was both angry and confused, and at the same time wondered who these people could be to possess guns.

This is Huaxia after all, and Huaxia has stringent gun control; without significant connections, obtaining firearms would be impossible.
