Chapter 95: Kneeling

Lin Feng deliberately kept them in suspense, smiling casually. "You'll know in a moment."

Su Qingxue knitted her brows in puzzlement. She couldn't quite grasp what Lin Feng meant.

About ten minutes later, a knock came at the private room door. Su Qingxue snapped back to attention and said, "Come in." Two middle-aged men walked in.

One of them was Shen Wanqian, the man who had just paid for this meal; the other was someone Lin Feng had never seen.

As soon as Shen Wanqian spotted Lin Feng, he hurried over with a smile, took Lin Feng's hand proactively, and said, "Mr. Lin, you really are here."

"How was tonight's meal? Did it go well? Is there anything you need me to do for you?"

"I'm already quite satisfied. May I ask what brings you here?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled.

"I came because..."

"Hey, who the hell are you?"

Just as Shen Wanqian was about to speak, Liu Xuanchen abruptly cut in with a cold shout.

He sized Shen Wanqian up and down, his face icy. "Old man, have you no sense of timing? Can't you see we're eating? This kid hasn't even given the cue, and you're already putting on your act?"

"You're pretty good at this, though. Quite convincing. That brand-name suit on you couldn't have been cheap, and you even have a metal name badge pinned to your chest. Pretty realistic too."

"And who might you be? A friend of Mr. Lin?" Shen Wanqian asked coldly.

"Pah! Who does he think he is? He's not fit to be my friend!"

Liu Xuanchen sneered, waving his hand dismissively. "Get the hell out of here, you old fool. I've already seen through his identity, so you can drop the act."

"With a face like yours, you dare to impersonate Chief Shen?"

"What did you say?"

Shen Wanqian's face turned ashen, his eyes blazing with fury.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and tried to soothe Shen Wanqian. "Don't be angry. You arrived just in time. I was actually about to ask whether you know this Young Master Liu. He says his father is a friend of yours, so you should know him well too, right?"

"My friend?"

Shen Wanqian was taken aback. He turned to glance at Liu Xuanchen, and indeed he did look somewhat familiar.

After thinking for a while, it suddenly came to him: this man bore a resemblance to his steward.

His brows knit tightly. "Who are you to Liu Peicai?"

"How do you know my father's name?"

Liu Xuanchen's heart skipped a beat. He stared at Shen Wanqian in surprise. "Where did you find out about my dad?"

"Hmph, so I was right. I never imagined Liu Peicai would have a son like you. What a failure." Shen Wanqian snorted coldly.

"Old man, if you don't start telling the truth soon, do you want a taste of this young master's fists?"

As he spoke, Liu Xuanchen slammed the table and stood up, then came over and grabbed Shen Wanqian by the collar, ready to hit him.

Just then, a work ID fell out of Shen Wanqian's pocket. Curious, Liu Xuanchen picked it up from the floor, thinking it was just a prop for the act. But when he opened it, his heart lurched violently.

Because inside were not only Shen Wanqian's work credentials, but also his identification documents.

The photos inside all matched Shen Wanqian perfectly!

Lin Yao also sensed something was off at that moment. She secretly searched the internet for a photo of Shen Wanqian, and was startled to discover that this man before her was indeed the Shen Wanqian from the provincial capital!

Oh no, Liu Xuanchen had really stepped in it now!

Lin Yao said this to herself, wishing she could sever all ties with him on the spot.

If she had known his father was only a steward for Chief Shen, why would she have wasted so much effort throwing herself at him?

"Chief... Chief Shen, this is all my fault. Please don't make things difficult for me."

At that moment, Liu Xuanchen knelt straight down!

"Hello, is this Liu Peicai? From now on, you are no longer the steward of the Shen family. You may pack your things and leave."

Shen Wanqian gave him not the slightest chance. Without another word, he called Liu Xuanchen's father.

"In addition, all the resources I previously provided to your Liu family are withdrawn as of this moment. From now on, you are forbidden to use my name in any way to make things convenient for your affairs."

"Chief Shen, why? Is there something I haven't done well enough? What did I do wrong? Why are you punishing me like this? I have served you with complete devotion."

Liu Peicai was utterly bewildered; he had no idea what he had done wrong.

Shen Wanqian continued sternly, "You haven't done anything wrong, but your son just grabbed me by the collar and tried to throw me out of Jiangcheng Hotel. Don't you think you deserve to get out?"

"Wh... what? It was Xuanchen? Chief Shen, please give me a chance. When I get home, I'll punish that wicked brat severely. I guarantee he won't dare show disrespect to you again."

"No need. The person he offended today was not only me, but also my benefactor."

The main reason Shen Wanqian was so harsh with Liu Peicai was precisely because his son had offended Lin Feng.

He now knew everything Liu Xuanchen had said to Lin Feng, as well as how he had treated him.

Given everything he had done, merely having Liu Peicai leave the Shen family was already an immense mercy.

With a crash, Liu Peicai's mind went blank at Shen Wanqian's words, and he collapsed to the floor in shock.

He never imagined his son could have caused such a huge disaster.

Now Liu Xuanchen's eyes were also wide as saucers, standing there at a loss.

"Chief Shen, I forgot to mention something. This Liu Xuanchen wasn't just rude to me. He also said earlier that all the credit for your Shen family helping Su's Bank belongs to him." Lin Feng suddenly added another strike.

"What?"

Hearing this, Shen Wanqian was stunned again.

His face flushed with rage. He turned and slapped Liu Xuanchen across the face with a cracking sound, glaring at him coldly. "You even dared to use my identity to deceive Mr. Lin's friend? You've got some nerve."

"Chief Shen, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have used your name to show off. Please let me off the hook. I won't dare do it again. I won't dare!"

"Hmph!"

Shen Wanqian didn't bother with him any further. He looked directly at the man beside him and said coldly, "Old Fang, I'll leave this man to you. Based on what he's done, that should at least constitute fraud, right?"

"Yes, Chief Shen. I'll have someone take him away immediately."

Old Fang, who had come with him, agreed at once and called his subordinates, dispatching two constables to take Liu Xuanchen away.

It turned out this Old Fang was Fang Jianxiong, the chief of police in Jiangcheng!

When the constables arrived, Liu Xuanchen was so scared he nearly wet himself. He knelt on the ground, begging Shen Wanqian for mercy again and again. But the law showed no mercy; since he had committed a crime, he had to bear the consequences.

Seeing this, Lin Yao kept her mouth firmly shut, not daring to say a single word, afraid of being caught in the fallout.
