C5 Self-inflicted

This moment!

Lau Yiyi was stunned!

Zhao Donglai frowned.

And the last one of the party of three, Cai Changsheng, was dumbfounded.

Even the surrounding guests were reeling in shock. They were scared senseless by the property ownership certificate that Lin Fei had opened.

Xi Mengwei, who was standing in the crowd, was no exception either. Her face revealed a trace of surprise.

It was not an ordinary property ownership certificate but the best office building in the business hub of Mo City—the entire floor of Global International Financial Center.

Lin Fei's identity made her even more interested. At the same time, intense curiosity ignited in the surrounding guests. They all wanted to know Lin Fei's true identity. Who was this guy?

It was impossible for someone like him to be a thief. He was clearly a low-key boss!

Lin Fei did not say anything. Instead, he just kept staring at the trio in front of him. His silent gaze caused a trace of panic to rise in their hearts.

Looking at the bright red property certificates on the floor, Cai Changsheng felt like his brain was out of oxygen, and his eyes were seeing black. He felt like he was going to collapse from fear. He did not dare to look Lin Fei in the eyes. How could he?

Compared to Lin Fei, he was just an ordinary worker. He couldn't afford to offend someone as rich as Lin Fei, who was worth hundreds of millions of yuan.

Cai Changsheng recalled his rude treatment of Lin Fei just now. He wished there was a hole here where he could jump into. He really wanted to slap himself twice. How embarrassing!

He knew that he was done for. He might not even be able to keep his job here.

Zhao Donglai was also astonished. He was a rich second generation, so he naturally knew what such a property signified.

This person was someone he could not afford to offend!

Nonetheless, his face was full of doubt, despite seeing the certificates with his own eyes.

Lin Fei was his university classmate, so Zhao Donglai naturally knew him very well. With his financial situation, it would be hard for him to buy a house in the remote suburbs of Mo City, let alone in the city's business hub.

Otherwise, he could not have snatched Lin Fei's girlfriend, Lau Yiyi.

'How can this guy own such a property? That's clearly out of his league. Is he a rich young master who's his identity?'

Zhao Donglai temporarily let go of the guilt in his heart and started to think seriously. Today's incident was weighing on his mind.

Needless to say, Lau Yiyi's expression was the worst of everyone. It was as if she had eaten a fly.

She originally wanted to seize Lin Fei's weakness in front of everyone and expose his identity as a thief. She wanted him to see him make a fool of himself, humiliating and breaking his self-respect.

However, the reality was cruel. Instead of him, she was the one who got ridiculed.

Although she felt embarrassed and angry in her heart, for a moment, she had nothing to say. She did not know how to deal with the sudden change.

The guests who had mocked Lin Fei earlier avoided looking at him. They did not dare to meet his gaze.

Even though they had a certain status and position in Mo City, they still couldn't afford to offend someone who owned such a property.

Lin Fei stood there with his hands behind his back, still not speaking.

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, the corner of his mouth rose slightly. A moment later, a faint smile crept up on his face.

He was not in a hurry to break the awkward atmosphere. His gaze slowly swept across the crowd, appreciating the different expressions on their faces.

These rich people were used to looking down on others. Today, though, they were slapped across the face by Lin Fei. And they could not say a single word in protest. This was the first time Lin Fei had experienced this feeling.

He felt exhilarated as if all the frustration and pent-up emotions over the breakup had been vented at this moment. He wanted to enjoy the pleasure of torturing them with his eyes for a while longer.

However, the expression on Lau Yiyi's face was quickly replaced by doubt. The suspicion in her heart towards Lin Fei was much stronger than Zhao Donglai's.

One should know that just an hour ago, she was still Lin Fei's girlfriend.

She had slept with Lin Fei for five whole years and never did she learn that he was hiding such a shocking wealth under his poor guise.

'Has he been lying to me?

'Is he a rich kid who has been hiding his identity?

'If that's true, then I'd have suffered a great loss.'

Lau Yiyi muttered in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more awful she felt.

Cai Changsheng finally could not bear Lin Fei's gaze anymore. His legs went weak, and he actually knelt on the ground.

"Mr. Lin!

"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I was blind and did not recognize your greatness!"

Cai Changsheng knelt on the ground and apologized to Lin Fei. He didn't even dare to raise his head for a second.

In order to show his sincerity, he crouched on all four and helped Lin Fei pick up the property certificates scattered on the floor. After gathering everything, he respectfully handed them to Lin Fei.

Cai Changsheng's actions proved Lin Fei's innocence even more. On the contrary, Lau Yiyi and Zhao Donglai were simply making trouble for no reason.

However, this had once again stoked Lau Yiyi's ego. This dramatic episode had damaged her dignity and made Zhao Donglai lose face.

Her embarrassment turned into anger. Combined with her previous analysis, she once again came to a conclusion in her heart.

Lau Yiyi threw caution to the wind. She rushed out and said to Cai Changsheng, "Manager Cai, what are you doing? These real estate certificates are fake. Why are you afraid of him?

"He's a thief, a big liar. Don't be fooled by him. Quick, arrest him. Don't let him escape!"

She knew Lin Fei well and understood his circumstances more than everyone here. Lin Fei would never own such a property, not even in his dreams.

"Go away. You don't know anything."

This time, Cai Changsheng did not listen to Lau Yiyi's words. Instead, he shouted at her.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Cai Changsheng yell at his girlfriend, Zhao Donglai immediately rushed forward and questioned him.

"Nothing. Tell her not to get in my way and apologize to the guest!"

Cai Changsheng said to Zhao Donglai with a straight face, not giving him any face at all. His attitude had taken a 180 degree turn.

Although Cai Changsheng was just an ordinary office worker, he had accumulated a lot of experience over the years.

He had a feeling that Lin Fei's property ownership certificates were most likely authentic. He could tell a thing or two from the discussions of the surrounding guests.

"You..."

Cai Changsheng's attitude towards him made Zhao Donglai's nose crooked in anger. He almost blew his top.

However, this was Cai Changsheng's territory after all. He would at most not come here to spend money in the future. Apart from that, he could not do anything to him.

Lin Fei did not say a word from the beginning to the end.

However, the expression on his face became even more excited. The scene of them hurting each other without him saying anything made him feel very content.

What a great feeling!

Knowing that he couldn't use force here, Zhao Donglai could only stand where was. He no longer spoke.

However, Lau Yiyi was anxious. She said to Cai Changsheng again, "Manager Cai, believe me. His real estate certificate is fake. He's a liar!"

"Lau Yiyi, why do you say Mr. Lin's real estate certificate is fake?"

Cai Changsheng rolled his eyes and retorted. However, the way he addressed them had completely changed.

"Because I'm his ex-girlfriend. I've been with him for five years. I know his situation like the back of my hand!

"He's a complete pauper. He doesn't have the money to buy me Chanel bags, let alone owning a property worth hundreds of millions!"

Lau Yiyi was too desperate to care about anything. She simply told them about their relationship.

All the surrounding guests finally understood the relationship between the three of them.

After Lau Yiyi finished speaking, she raised her neck high like a proud swan.

She felt that she had already brought out iron-clad evidence. Lin Fei could no longer continue to deceive her and others.

"Sir, may I see your property certificate?"

At this moment, a man in his thirties suddenly walked over and politely nodded to Lin Fei.

"Of course!"

Without saying anything else, Lin Fei took a property ownership certificate from Cai Changsheng and handed it to the man.

The man took the property ownership certificate and started reading it seriously.

The entire room turned silent. They were all staring at the man with bated breath, waiting for his confirmation.

About ten seconds later, the man smiled and said, "Mr. Lin is really young and promising. I never thought that you would possess such wealth at your age. Truly admirable!"

Although he didn't say it directly, the meaning behind his words was quite clear.

His euphemistic words, when fell into Lau Yiyi and the others' ears, were like thunder.

"Sir, you are too polite!"

Lin Fei politely said to the man.

"That's impossible. On what basis are you declaring this property certificate as genuine?"

Lau Yiyi had gone mad. She rushed to the man without caring about her image and pointed at him. She was like a shrew cursing at others.

"Because I also have an identical property ownership certificate here. It's for the 23rd floor, though, not as good as Mr. Lin!"

The man smiled. Then, he took out a property ownership certificate from a tightly wrapped folder in his bag.

Lau Yiyi could no longer believe her ears when she heard that. She fell to the ground and had nothing to say.

At this moment, she felt her face being slapped by Lin Fei. Her dignity was trampled under Lin Fei's shoes without any mercy.

Lau Yiyi had pressed on step by step. She tried her best to humiliate Lin Fei, but unexpectedly, she herself became the ugliest clown in the audience.

What made people laugh was that all of this was her own fault. In the end, she had to bear the consequences of her own actions.
