Even at its peak, the Li family was slightly inferior to hers, let alone now that the family head, Li Yang, is dead.
The Li family was able to squeeze into the ranks of third-rate families in the capital city because of Li Yang's ruthless methods and business acumen.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall collapses, everyone pushes it down. Once other families learn of Li Yang's death, who knows how many will try to get a share of the Li family's wealth.
The reason why no one called the police or the villa's security guards came even though Gu Qingfeng made such a big commotion was because she gave the order.
This woman was very articulate, and her straightforward personality satisfied Gu Qingfeng.
"Okay, that's direct enough. I admire you. I'll leave this to you. Just a heads-up, don't reveal my appearance to anyone, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Of course, I will give the order."
Gu Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction and walked away from the woman's sight step by step. As Kurumi passed by her, she gave the woman a sweet smile.
The woman blushed slightly, thinking to herself that she wasn't a lesbian, so why did she find the girl in front of her so charming?
Once Gu Qingfeng had completely disappeared from sight, the woman collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless. What was supposed to be a perfectly normal conversation felt like a life-or-death battle to her.
She wasn't usually this cautious when communicating with those senior executives. Gu Qingfeng put immense psychological pressure on her, and that cold, murderous gaze was deeply etched into her mind.
After walking for a short while, Gu Qingfeng suddenly turned around and stared at Kurumi behind him.
"You should probably head back soon. I'm going home. Why are you still following me?"
Kurumi revealed a disdainful expression, curled her lips, and tossed her long hair.
"Do you think I don't know you men? When you're heartbroken, you go to a bar to drown your sorrows. If you're drunk and meet a pretty girl, the alcohol gives you the courage to do things with her."
Gu Qingfeng was speechless. In her eyes, he was just that kind of person. He was already a big shot, and he could find any woman he wanted. Why would he go to a bar to find a drunkard?
"I'm going home. I never go to bars. You should just go home."
"I'm not going back. It's not time for the chat group to close yet. I want to go out and wander around by myself."
Kurumi made a face and ran off into the distance. Gu Qingfeng didn't bother to stop her, knowing that Kurumi wouldn't encounter any danger given her strength.
As for Li Shu, Gu Qingfeng doesn't intend to kill her today. He was a bit too harsh yesterday, and she's probably still unconscious in her hospital room.
When I got home, I told my parents that the matter was resolved. I didn't have a good appetite and didn't want to eat lunch, so I went back to my bedroom alone.
An hour later, Gu Qingfeng's bedroom reeked of alcohol, and the entire floor was covered with empty bottles, roughly estimated to be close to a hundred.
Fortunately, there was a bathroom at home, and Gu Qingfeng went there several times within an hour.
He also had several bottles of liquor. At his level of strength, alcohol could hardly numb his senses anymore, and the divine power within his body would automatically neutralize anything harmful to his body.
But perhaps it was the wine that made him drunk, or perhaps it was his own state of mind that made him feel intoxicated; his eyes gradually became hazy.
His face shifted between pain and resentment as he recalled Faye Wong's every smile and gesture, and all the moments they had shared.
He could never believe that Faye Wong was only with him because of a ridiculous prophecy.
Ban had mentioned that superhuman, and his predictions were almost always accurate, which is why Faye Wong trusted him so much.
Because Faye Wong saved his life, he only pledged his loyalty to her, and no one in the Wong family knew of his existence.
Gaining power comes at a price; each calculation by a superhuman costs a certain amount of lifespan, with the amount depending on the magnitude of the predicted event.
When Gu Qingfeng made another calculation the day before his car accident, he realized that he had been spending ten years of his lifespan intermittently over the years, and that became his last calculation before his death.
As Gu Qingfeng lay on the bed, he looked at the two matching couple pillows beside the bed and vaguely saw the figure of a woman.
She came to his bedside, gently lifted his blanket, covered herself with it, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Gu Qingfeng didn't move, just let her stroke his face. His head grew heavier and heavier, and he drifted off to sleep.
When he woke up again, it was already noon the next day. He had slept for a whole day and night.
I got out of bed, took a shower, and when I came out, I saw my parents talking about something.
"Mom and Dad, what are you talking about?"
"Li Jun left our county for some reason. You hit Li Shu, so you definitely won't keep your job. Yesterday, when I went out to look for work, no one gave me any trouble."
Shangguan Yun looked at Gu Qingfeng with suspicion. Everything had changed drastically as soon as her son returned. She wanted to ask him if all of this was related to him.
Gu Tian didn't know whether to keep it from Shangguan Yun or not, and told him that he knew nothing, which was true.
He only knew that his son was going to seek revenge on Li Jun, but he didn't know the specifics of how.
"I'm coming clean. Your son is actually a peerless master, invincible under heaven. Yesterday I went to find Li Jun, beat him half to death, and then kicked him out."
Gu Qingfeng stopped hiding it. He had come to terms with it and realized there was no need to deliberately conceal it. Letting his parents know his abilities would put their minds at ease.
"Has he watched too many martial arts movies? Does he think he's faster than a bullet? Or does he think he can stop a sniper rifle?"
Gu Qingfeng's expression was very serious.
"I'm really faster than a bullet, and I can actually stop a sniper rifle."
Gu Tian slapped his forehead, looking at his son with concern.
"The world is full of airplanes and cannons. What era are we living in? They still claim to be invincible."
Okay, telling the truth was a mistake; Dad doesn't believe me at all.
Gu Tian wouldn't let it go, relentlessly criticizing him.
"An invincible man, still wearing tattered clothes from years ago? And doesn't even have a decent piece of furniture at home?"
To pay for Gu Tian's medical treatment, the family sold everything they could, and now they don't even have a television.
"That makes sense. Let's buy a villa; our current place is still too small."
Gu Qingfeng acted immediately, taking off his clothes and automatically transforming his body into a battle suit, the attire of the Metamoran.
He only had the clothes he wore yesterday left at home. He had drunk too much yesterday and hadn't washed them, so he had to wear the ones he already had on him.
That's right, this battle suit is built-in and can be transformed into his body at any time. He doesn't know the specific reason, but he guesses it might be the mysterious power of fusion. The suit has a symbol that symbolizes the fusion of the Metamorians.
Fortunately, it's summer, so it's fine to wear this kind of clothing out. If it were winter, people would think I'm an idiot.
When he walked out of the bedroom again, Shangguan Yun looked at him in disbelief. Last time, she was immersed in great joy after learning that her son was not dead.
She didn't even examine the body closely, but upon closer inspection, the figure was indeed perfect, and the outfit gave it an undeniable aura.
"Let's go, we'll head to the villa area now."
Gu Tian and Shangguan Yun exchanged a glance, wondering what he was up to.
"You've already traveled through time, does that mean the other world also uses RMB?"
"No, but I have US dollars on me, so buying a villa is a piece of cake."
Gu Qingfeng knew without even looking that his parents were looking at him like he was an idiot.
I had no choice but to retrieve the red envelope from the chat group, and then pretend to take it out of my pants.
Seeing the US dollars in Gu Qingfeng's hand, Shangguan Yun was shocked once again. Could it be that what his son said was true?
Although the two were still not entirely convinced, Gu Qingfeng dragged them out of the house, got into a taxi, and headed straight for the villa area.
The taxi driver on the road was very enthusiastic. Although the family was dressed very plainly, Gu Qingfeng's explosive muscles were clearly visible to him.
If he hadn't been polite, would he have mocked them for being poor and daring to go to a villa area? He didn't want to get beaten up.
Jindu Villas is the only villa area in Haibei County, with a total of ten detached villas. The sales method is the same as that of ordinary buildings, which is conducted in the lobby.
Because in this small city, apart from wealthy young people from outside who frequently rent or sell properties, few locals have that kind of financial means.
Although it's advertised as a sale in the lobby, it's really just sitting there; for a year or two, hardly anyone has inquired about the villa's price.
