Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Grandmaster Uncle Tang
After Lin Fei, Yuan Yuxi, and Qin Zimo finished breakfast, they went to Lotus Mountain for the scenic view.
On the way to Lotus Mountain, Lin Fei and the others ran into Qin Yunyue, Xie Yiting, as well as Zheng Yutong and Xiao Ling.
Thus, everyone went to Lotus Mountain together to enjoy the scenery.
After reaching the mountain top and taking in the view, about an hour later, everyone returned to the Zheng family villa.
In the living room of the Zheng family villa, sat Zheng Guozhu, Liu Xuan, and Zheng Wenbin.
After two days of rest, Liu Xuan looked much better.
“Uncle Zheng, the Wen family said they would send my sister back in two days, but now two days have passed, and the Wen family hasn’t sent Liu Wei back.” Liu Xuan looked at Zheng Guozhu, speaking with concern.
Zheng Guozhu’s expression was solemn as he said, “Two days have passed, we can’t wait any longer, I will go to the Wen family now to demand her return.”
After saying this, Zheng Guozhu looked at Zheng Wenbin and said, “Go and inform your grandfather, let Uncle Tang come with me to the Wen family.”
Zheng Wenbin agreed and left the living room.
Just then, the phone in the living room rang: “Ring ring…”
Zheng Guozhu looked toward the phone, as did Liu Xuan.
The two exchanged a glance, both thinking that the call was likely from the Wen family.
Zheng Guozhu picked up the phone and said, “This is Zheng Guozhu, who am I speaking to?”
“Haha, Brother Guozhu, it’s Yaoting,” Wen Yaoting’s voice came through the phone with a smile.
“So it’s Brother Yaoting, is Liu Wei already on the way back? Are you calling to inform us?” Zheng Guozhu asked.
“Well… Brother Guozhu, we also want to send Miss Liu back, but she said she wants someone named Lin Fei to pick her up. Nowadays, young ladies are hard to understand; maybe she just wants to see this Lin Fei,” Wen Yaoting said with a laugh.
Zheng Guozhu’s eyes flashed with anger as he said, “Wen Yaoting, what exactly are you trying to do?”
“Brother Guozhu, don’t be angry, this is what Miss Liu requested, I am just conveying it.”
“Wen Yaoting, let me talk to Liu Wei over the phone.”
“Brother Guozhu, I’m sorry, Miss Liu only asked me to call and inform you that by 12 noon, Lin Fei should come to pick her up at the Wen family villa. She’s already out having fun with Xiaojun, and I don’t know when they’ll be back?”
Zheng Guozhu replied in a deep voice, “Wen Yaoting, do you think I’ll believe what you’re saying?”
“Haha, Brother Guozhu, why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, you can come to the Wen family, but Miss Liu specifically wants Lin Fei to come, whether she’ll leave with you, I don’t know.
Brother Guozhu, I’m just passing on Miss Liu’s message, how to proceed is for you to decide, as it is.”
With that, Wen Yaoting hung up the phone.
Zheng Guozhu put down the phone, anger showing on his face as he cursed, “This Wen Yaoting is really an old rascal!”
Liu Xuan, having heard his conversation with Wen Yaoting, said, “Uncle Zheng, it seems the Wen family wants Lin Fei to pick her up as a pretense, but is actually seeking revenge on Lin Fei, we mustn’t let Lin Fei walk into their trap.”
Although Liu Xuan initially held hostility towards Lin Fei because of Liu Wei, after Wen Xiaojun nearly took his life and Lin Fei saved him from the brink of death, Liu Xuan no longer harbored resentment towards Lin Fei.
He even regards Lin Fei as his savior now.
Zheng Guozhu’s face was troubled as he said, “But if Lin Fei doesn’t go, the Wen family probably won’t let us see Liu Wei, and we can’t storm the Wen family. It seems the Wen family is exploiting our weakness.”
Liu Xuan fell silent too, knowing the Wen family is using Liu Wei as a pawn to control both the Zheng and Liu families.
Yet, they still cannot do anything against the Wen family.
“Uncle Zheng, I’ve already called the family in the Capital City, and the elder has dispatched four grandmasters to come to Shencheng, they will arrive tomorrow. Maybe we should wait for the grandmasters to arrive before going to the Wen family to demand her return?” Liu Xuan suggested after thinking about it.
This time, he nearly died because of Wen Xiaojun, all because he lacked a true master by his side.
He also couldn’t stand the indignation, so he requested the Liu family in the Capital City to send four grandmasters to avenge him.
Zheng Guozhu shook his head and said, “I don’t think we can delay any further. If the Wen family finds out you called four grandmasters from the Capital City, Liu Wei will only be in greater danger. Today, we must bring Liu Wei back from the Wen family by any means necessary.”
“Exactly, we can’t delay this any longer. I’ll go to the Wen family to fetch Liu Wei.” At that moment, Lin Fei’s voice came from the doorway.
Zheng Guozhu and Liu Xuan on the sofa turned their eyes toward the voice to see Lin Fei, Qin Yunyue, Xiao Ling, and others walking in.
Lin Fei and the others had returned from sightseeing. Upon reaching the villa’s entrance, he overheard Zheng Guozhu and Liu Xuan’s conversation.
Especially after hearing that the Wen family specifically wanted him to pick up Liu Wei, he walked into the villa and spoke up.
“Lin Fei, are you really willing to go to the Wen family? You have to know the Wen family now hates you to the bone, going there will be extremely dangerous!” Zheng Guozhu looked at Lin Fei and said.
Lin Fei remained calm and said, “Mr. Zheng, although the Wen family is formidable, I am confident that I can protect myself and leave unscathed, the Wen family cannot harm me.”
Liu Xuan had witnessed Lin Fei’s martial arts; even at Master level eight, he couldn’t withstand a single move from Lin Fei.
In Liu Xuan’s opinion, Lin Fei’s capabilities should have reached the level of a grandmaster, a level of strength that indeed could ensure self-preservation.
Seeing Lin Fei’s confidence, Zheng Guozhu said, “Even if you can protect yourself, to ensure nothing goes wrong, I will still have Uncle Tang accompany you for added security.”
Just then, Zheng Wenbin returned with a sixty-something man dressed in a Zhongshan suit.
Though the elder’s hair was gray, he was full of energy and his eyes were bright, exuding a majestic and unfathomable aura.
“Dad, Grandpa Tang is here,” Zheng Wenbin said to Zheng Guozhu.
Zheng Guozhu immediately stood up and respectfully bowed slightly towards the elder in a Zhongshan suit with gray hair, saying, “Uncle Tang, you’ve arrived.”
Uncle Tang’s real name was Tang Zhen, a grandmaster.
A grandmaster has immense strength, capable of establishing sects, truly the strong of this era, a grandmaster of a generation.
Even a wealthy and powerful family may not be able to hire a grandmaster despite spending lavishly.
The reason Tang Zhen watched over the Zheng family was that Master Zheng once did a great favor for the Tang family.
After becoming a grandmaster, Tang Zhen became the guardian grandmaster of the Zheng family.
With Tang Zhen’s presence, martial arts experts in Shencheng dared not provoke the Zheng family.
This was why Zheng Guozhu had Liu Xuan come to the Zheng family for recuperation, as not even Wen Xiaojun would dare act rashly with Grandmaster Tang Zhen present.
Tang Zhen’s status in the Zheng family was revered, which was why Zheng Guozhu showed such respect upon seeing him.
“Guozhu, Wenbin has already told me, I’ll handle going to the Wen family to bring Miss Liu back,” Tang Zhen said to Zheng Guozhu.
Zheng Guozhu replied, “Grandmaster Tang, then I’ll trouble Uncle Tang to accompany Lin Fei to the Wen family to fetch her.”
Tang Zhen nodded, “Mm, I will ensure Young Master Lin’s safety.”
Lin Fei originally wanted to say he could go to the Wen family alone, but seeing the situation, it seemed that Tang Zhen was determined to go, so he said nothing more.
Zheng Guozhu, Lin Fei, Tang Zhen, and others walked out of the villa, a driver had already brought a car over, and Zheng Guozhu personally opened the car door for Tang Zhen: “Uncle Tang, I leave everything to you.”
Tang Zhen smiled slightly, “Guozhu, do not worry, await my good news.”
With that, Tang Zhen got into the car.
Zheng Guozhu also gave Lin Fei a few words of caution, advising him to be extra careful upon reaching the Wen family.
Lin Fei nodded and got into the car.
The chauffeur drove away from the Zheng family villa.
