Chapter 148 - 148: Si Fuqing: Alright, Let’s Go (1)
The skill involved exceeded even the most adept minesweepers.
Feng was genuinely impressed.
This whole affair could never be truly put to rest.
Yesterday, he had been quite shocked when he saw Si Fuqing in Mudanjiang Courtyard, her hands stained with blood.
As the personal bodyguard employed by Yu Xiheng, and with the near-mishap involving Yu Tang, how could Yu Xiheng possibly let the Chen family off the hook?
The head of the Chen family was utterly stunned.
It felt as though a massive hammer had mercilessly smashed down on him at the doorstep. His mind buzzed, his face drained of all color. “Wha-what… It’s the daughter of the Yu family?!”
The partnership was taken back, and despite his best efforts pulling all kinds of strings, he could not save it.
Recently, he’d been racking his brain about how to get the Yu family to let him
Then came the call, and he was effectively barred from entering the city of Sijiu. He couldn’t even meet with the Old Master Yu or Yu Qishan.
Little did he know that he would meet the Yu family members under these circumstances.
The head of the Chen family couldn’t believe it; his wife had messed with the Yu family’s daughter?
This was like a toad jumping into a frying pan—courting death.
The Yu family’s status in Sijiu was known to everyone.
What a foolish person!
Dizziness washed over the head of the Chen family, yet he stubbornly said,
“Sir! Sir, this was all that wretched woman’s doing, not mine!”
“If I had met the daughter of the Yu family, I would definitely treat her as an honored guest. Even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare to act!”
Feng San looked disgusted, “You’re quite spineless, trying to wash your hands clean when things go south. We’ve asked around. Those men were supplied by you. Without you, would your wife be so brazen?”
“Most importantly, your target was Miss Si. Do you think you’ll be fine just because you got the wrong person? You’ll die even faster! Stop wasting time, take him away!”
Two guards stepped forward and swiftly handcuffed the head of the Chen family.
“The…the Miss Si…” the head of the Chen family finally reacted, his voice breaking, “She…she’s not…not from the Zuo family…”
The Zuo family’s foster daughter, how did she get involved with the Yu family?
As a family in the same city, he knew all too well that even if the Zuo family ruled the city for another thirty years, they would never come close to the Yu family.
“Zuo family?” Feng’s eyebrows furrowed, his tone icy, “You’re in no position to ask about Miss Si.”
Indeed, he didn’t know what had transpired between the Zuo family and Si Fuqing.
But anyone against Miss Si was an enemy to him.
Feng San held no favorable opinion of the Zuo family.
The head of the Chen family was now utterly despondent. “The Zuo family deceived me! They actually dared to deceive me!”
Had it not been for the Zuo family’s explicit phone call saying they were washing their hands of Si Fuqing, how could he have possibly provided manpower to Mrs. Chen?
The Zuo family had truly led him to this dire strait!
“What are you shouting for?” Feng San’s finger darted out like lightning, sealing his mute acupuncture point with a cold demeanor. “The Zuo family will eventually follow in your Chen family’s footsteps. You’ll meet inside soon enough.”
Unable to utter a sound, the Chen family head could only glare, his legs kicking out in vain.
The Chen family was a major wealthy household with no small amount of assets in Lin, all of which were now being counted.
Having settled everything, Feng San slipped away, as silently as a wisp of smoke.
Outside.
Yu Xiheng sat in a wheelchair, seemingly focusing ahead, yet effortlessly capturing every nuance. “Is it done?”
Feng San said, “It’s done. Starting today, there’s no more Chen family in this city. We’ve checked on the rest of the family members; those who are clean can go back. Their businesses will run as usual.”
Yu Xiheng nodded lightly.
Feng San’s tone grew serious, “About the group that went to the Chen family today—Brother Nine, there’s a good chance they’re from the Thousand Army Alliance.”
Yu Xiheng’s expression finally showed a slight ripple. After a pause, he asked,
“Anybody with the surname Jiang come?”
Feng San was surprised, “You guessed that accurately, Brother Nine? Miss Si said that a young man surnamed Jiang gave her a business card. His name is Jiang Shuihan.”
Yu Xiheng seemed to exhale softly, smiling, “If it’s Jiang, then that’s good.”
Feng couldn’t quite grasp the meaning of that sentence. But speaking of the Thousand Army Alliance, he did remember reading in the history books that the Dragon Sparrow Sword was originally in the Jiang family’s possession..
