Chapter 530: Chapter 449: Zongheng Two Elders
Who would have thought that Ye Qingfeng, who had always appeared to have no identity background, who even needed to stay at Wan’er’s house, turned out to be an invincible presence among the younger generation.
"Is it necessary to be so serious? The so-called Jian Family, the so-called Cangqiong Group, don’t mean much in my eyes. It’s just that the Jian Family seems a bit peculiar..."
Ye Qingfeng sipped the mineral water, his expression growing more solemn.
He suddenly recalled that this Jian Family seemed to be connected to the Divine Punishment Organization in his memories.
In his past life, Bai Wan’er married into the Jian Family and ended up meeting an extremely tragic fate.
"Honestly, it’s a good thing you came and told me tonight; otherwise, it might cause major problems in the future!"
The Jian Family is connected to a mysterious organization, Divine Punishment, which is an assassin organization overseas.
Though Ye Qingfeng didn’t know what position Jian Chen held in Divine Punishment.
But Jian Chen is definitely not a good person. If Bai Wan’er really married him, who knows what dreadful things she might encounter in the future.
"Major problems? What kind of major problems?"
An Ruoqing asked, puzzled.
"You don’t need to understand this, nor do you need to know. I’ll handle Bai Wan’er’s matters myself!"
Ye Qingfeng spoke calmly.
Although An Ruoqing was slightly dissatisfied with Ye Qingfeng’s tone, she finally felt at ease.
With Ye Qingfeng’s abilities, since he said he would resolve this matter, wouldn’t it be easy and untroubled?
In front of Ye Qingfeng, Jian Chen and the Cangqiong Group are simply trash, something he can crush with one hand.
"What time does the engagement banquet start tomorrow?"
An Ruoqing replied, "Four in the afternoon!"
"Alright, got it!"
Ye Qingfeng leaned on the sofa, lost in thought.
An Ruoqing dared not disturb him and quietly left the villa.
"Jian Chen, Cangqiong Group, Dark Ghost?"
Ye Qingfeng chuckled lightly, a disdainful sneer playing at his lips.
"If you want to play, this time I’ll play along with you big time!"
At the border between the Northern Base and the Southern Base, inside a luxurious garden villa, Jian Chen sat beside a grand round table, looking smug.
Thinking that after tomorrow, Bai Wan’er, whom he fell in love with at first sight and couldn’t forget, will become his fiancée, made his heart blaze with passion.
Before him sat a middle-aged couple, looking at him with some indulgence.
"Xiao Chen, happy now?" The middle-aged woman smiled, "I’ve put in a lot of effort at Fang Meilian’s company with your dad to let you get what you want."
"One small company at the Southern Base and a minor official can’t compare to our family."
Jian Chen flattered them, "Thank you, Dad and Mom!"
Others didn’t know what happened to Fang Meilian’s company, not even Fang Meilian herself. But how could he not know that the problems in her company were all orchestrated by his parents.
For the Cangqiong Group, making a small company face financial issues is simply too easy.
"Xiao Chen, your methods are too gentle. When it’s something you like, you must snatch it by all means necessary."
The middle-aged man wore a harsh expression, not generous, with a crafty merchant’s demeanor between his brows.
"Yes, Dad, your lesson is right!"
Jian Chen humbly accepted the teaching; in this regard, he indeed wasn’t ruthless enough.
"I hope we’re not disturbing your family gathering!"
Just then, a sinister voice came from the side, startling the three.
They turned to see two middle-aged men in dark red robes standing side by side, identical in appearance and build, especially the large mole on the corner of their mouths, which was remarkably symmetric.
"Zongheng Two Elders?"
Upon seeing them, the Jian Family trio was shocked, hurriedly bowing down, wearing expressions of nervousness.
One of them carried a longsword on his back, while the other had a longsword across his waist, one vertically, one horizontally.
Their auras seemed alike, yet inherently different, seemingly complementing each other. As they stood there, the villa filled with Sword Qi, and several sword marks appeared out of thin air on the grand round table.
The three were terrified, yet dared not utter a word.
"Jian Chen, Dark Ghost and Dark Soul have successively been killed for coming here; you must give us a reasonable explanation!"
Elder Zong’s gaze was cold. Jian Chen and these people were nothing but ants in his eyes.
"Elder Zong, I don’t know how Dark Ghost died, but Dark Soul definitely died at the hands of the Divine Guard!"
"The Divine Guard, daring to kill our Divine Punishment people, must be plunged into utter chaos." Elder Zong muttered, filled with murderous intent.
The Zongheng Two Elders exchanged glances, speaking in unison.
"No matter who he is or what his background is, whoever dares to touch our Dark Ghost cannot be forgiven!" The Zongheng Two Elders’ eyes were cold, finally resting on Jian Chen.
"Jian Chen, the organization is very dissatisfied with you this time. If the plan to infiltrate Jiangbei City gets ruined again, you might as well die in atonement!"
Jian Chen was chilled to the bone, and his father Jian Xu quickly begged, "Zongheng Two Elders, please convey our sincerity to the organization. The infiltration plan for Jiangbei City will not fail."
"Hmph, it had better be!"
The two elders removed their longswords, placing them on the table, causing the sturdy wooden table to totter — indicating the significant weight of these two longswords.
Sipping hot tea, the two elders disregarded the family trio completely.
The family cautiously rose, Jian Xu plastering a smile, "Elders, tomorrow is my son’s engagement banquet, we sincerely invite you to attend, would you be so kind?"
The identical visages of Zongheng Two Elders remained impassive, glancing at Jian Chen, and finally they nodded.
"Tomorrow is your engagement banquet. We can wait a day, but after tomorrow, you’ll take us to find the Divine Guard who killed Dark Ghost; we in ’Divine Punishment’ will certainly take his life!"
Jian Chen promptly agreed, daring not utter a single word of objection.
Within Divine Punishment, the Zongheng Two Elders ranked among the top ten, truly formidable experts, significantly more powerful than Dark Ghost and Dark Soul. Even the organization’s highest leaders valued them greatly, holding exceptional status.
On the surface, the Jian Family appeared prestigious, but in reality, they were constrained everywhere by Divine Punishment. Even the Cangqiong Group relied on Divine Punishment to quickly gain a reputation and become one of the world’s top 500 enterprises.
If the Zongheng Two Elders were displeased, and one word reached the inside of Divine Punishment, the three would lose everything, possibly even their lives.
"By the way, there’s one more thing you must remember!"
Elder Zong suddenly spoke.
"Please instruct, Elder Zong, I will certainly keep it in mind!"
Cangqiong Group’s President Jian Xu, who is usually arrogant, seemed like a servant to the emperor at this moment, smiling obsequiously.
"Remember, in Jiangbei City, whatever action your Cangqiong Group plans to take, if there’s any conflict with Nine Tribulations Company, always choose to avoid, never confront directly!"
Elder Zong said solemnly.
