"Ye Longlin, the relationship between our two families has always been good. Let Xiaoya apologize to you, there's no need for this. Besides, your presence here proves your fiancée is fine. Since she's fine, let's let this matter go."
Zhou Zheng declared, obviously not wanting the situation to escalate further.
Things had already turned out this way, and judging by Ye Longlin's attitude, he would definitely not let it rest today. If they continued to argue, there would be no room for compromise.
Might over word.
This was a reality. Even as the head of the civil officials, he had to consider the minimum influence of a school official. He had to consider who was backing him.
"Let it go? How dare you, Zhou Zheng!"
"My fiancée, your granddaughter, treated as an item and given to someone else, after taking a ten-million-yuan referral fee, and you say let it go? Do you really think you, Zhou Zheng, have that much face?"
Ye Longlin turned his head and said with a cold laugh, a hint of disdain appearing on his lips.
Zhou Zheng's expression turned grim. Those two sentences were truly embarrassing. It wasn't just embarrassing; it was tearing the face apart.
"My grandfather's face isn't enough for you, I wonder if my face, Zhou Guofang's, is enough?"
A figure walked in from outside the door. It was Zhou Guofang, the head of the Zhou family.
"Dad!"
Upon seeing this figure, Zhou Fengya's eyes lit up, and she rushed over, her eyes filled with tears. As if having found a pillar of support, Zhou Fengya regained her arrogant and unruly demeanor.
"You seem to care a lot about your woman?"
"Don't worry, after you die, I will sell her to a place of ill repute. She will spend every day with different men, living in despair her entire life. After she has suffered all kinds of torture and humiliation, I will peel off her skin layer by layer and make a specimen to place beside your grave."
This was the first time Ye Longlin had witnessed a woman being so vicious.
Zhou Guofang's expression darkened. "Shut up!"
When he came up, he saw a group of soldiers downstairs. He had never seen such a well-trained team. Standing in the snow, everyone was wearing a cloak, and the black cloaks were already covered in rain. The biting cold wind and the soaking rain made it unbearable for ordinary people, let alone standing in the cold wind, soaking wet. The winter in the north was nothing like the winter in the south. The winter in the north was physical damage, while the winter in the south was magical damage. Yet, in such cold weather, the soldiers below did not move an inch! This was undoubtedly an elite among elites.
"The last time I saw you, you were only two or three years old. Seeing you now, you've grown up. Time really flies."
Ye Longlin had no impression of Zhou Guofang at all. Therefore, he did not wish to reminisce.
"Do we know each other?" Ye Longlin asked.
Zhou Guofang pondered for a moment. "No." Strictly speaking, he knew the young Ye Longlin. After so many years, he indeed did not recognize him.
"Since we don't know each other, don't try to build rapport here. Today, she is definitely going to die. You cannot stop me."
"If you touch my woman, even if I have to flatten half of this capital, I will not hesitate."
"Tch."
"Just you? Ye Longlin, what right do you have to say something like that? Even a general wouldn't dare say such a thing. You, a nobody, dare to say you'll flatten half the capital? You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
"What do you think you are?"
As Ye Longlin finished speaking, Zhou Fengya immediately sneered, a hint of disdain appearing on her lips. Flatten half the capital? Let alone a one-star general, even a three-star general might have a slight chance. In her eyes, Ye Longlin was just a mere school official. How could he have such qualifications?
Ye Longlin did not want to waste any more words. He looked at Zhou Guofang and held up one finger. "I'll give you one minute. Either call someone or hand over the person."
He was hungry and hadn't eaten lunch yet. Mu Hanqi had gone home to cook. He would eat after this was resolved. For a family like the Zhou family, they must know someone. Since Zhou Guofang had appeared, he must have a backup plan.
Zhou Guofang shook his head slightly. "Ye Longlin, your father and I were old acquaintances. Let's let this matter end here today."
Ye Longlin sneered. "My father is already dead. If you want to reminisce with him, I can send you down."
Zhou Guofang: "..." He was completely unresponsive. This was indeed troublesome.
Zhou Guofang looked up and took out his phone. "Since that's the case, I'll have to invite someone to suppress you. I hope you won't blame me. As a father, I don't want to see the old send off the young."
With that, he made the call. He wasn't the only one making a call; Zhou Zheng also did. Seeing them make calls, Ning Qi also called the second elder.
"Second Elder, the situation is out of control. The Zhou family is using their connections to contact people and attempting to suppress the Heavenly King."
Li Chengyao snorted. "The Zhou family? The one who used Zhou Fengya as an intermediary to 'sell' my granddaughter to Zheng Qi?"
Ning Qi: "..."
"Yes."
Li Chengyao said unhappily, "This Zhou family is simply insubordinate. I'll send someone over!"
With that, he directly hung up the phone.
Ning Qi looked at the hung-up phone and secretly clicked his tongue. It seemed the Zhou family was in for some trouble today. Even if the second elder didn't intervene, many of the Dragon Pavilion soldiers below would teach them how to behave. This time, the second elder was also making a statement to other families. You can deal with Ye Longlin as you please, but if you dare to touch my god-granddaughter, you must be prepared to face the wrath of an elder! Let's see if you can withstand it.
At the same time, outside the Hall of Honor, soldiers wearing special uniforms began boarding buses. Ten buses majestically drove towards Ye Longlin's location. Driving in front of the first bus was a middle-aged man with a frown. Every soldier behind him wore a special uniform, with three strong characters on their left shoulder: Imperial Guards!
The Imperial Guards had become a mysterious force in recent years. This team had been preserved since the founding of the nation and was specifically responsible for handling cases of martial artists committing crimes in the capital. It had been almost four years since the last time they were mobilized on such a grand scale. The deployment of the Imperial Guards meant at least a Level Three incident. Yet, before they even arrived, the second elder in charge of the Imperial Guards had already classified it as a Level One incident. This...
"What on earth happened?"
