Chapter 344: Chapter 342: Movements of the Fang Family
Clearly, Ouyang Meijia was still reeling, the happiness had come too quickly and hadn’t given him a chance to savor it before the person had already left.
Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Meijia’s pretty face flushed slightly. That embrace had brought her joy. Even if it was a fleeting happiness, it was still beautiful.
After saying goodbye to Ouyang Meijia, Chen Tianlong quickly followed.
"Is everything settled?"
Seeing Chen Tianlong running over, Wu Mengting suddenly asked.
"Ah? What settled?" Chen Tianlong was a bit puzzled.
"Don’t pretend, Meijia likes you, Liu Ting and I both see through it. We understand girls the most, but you shouldn’t hurt her, just explain it clearly." Wu Mengting pouted. Chen Tianlong was really troublesome. He’s so excellent that he always ends up attracting girls.
"Haha, you guys overthink it. Meijia just considers me a good friend. Alright, let’s get in the car." Seeing the Audi next to them, Chen Tianlong quickened his pace, got in the car first, and then opened the door.
This time, the two girls sat in the back, leaving Chen Tianlong alone in the front.
In the following period, nothing major happened. The Audi sped along the road until around five in the afternoon, when the three finally returned to South Sea City...
On the road leading from Ice City to Ouyang Manor, this car accident was quickly discovered by the police.
However, seeing the weapons on them, they thought it was a clash between two gangs and did not investigate further. The matter was thus left unresolved.
Back in North City, the Fang Family, upon receiving this news, became somewhat unsettled. Especially Fang Xiaoli, who hurriedly said to his brother Fang Dali, "Brother, Xiaobao has been killed by someone!"
"What? Who was bold enough to casually kill someone from our Fang Family?" Fang Dali was taken aback, somewhat incredulous upon hearing this.
"I don’t know either. This morning I ran into a kid and three girls at the Ice Sculpture Garden, then... Then I got into a fight with him and fought the group, and later sent He Xiaobao to follow him, planning to take him out on the road, but then..."
"Damn, you troublemaker, who told you to stir up trouble, and now Xiaobao’s life is gone." Fang Dali glared at Fang Xiaoli fiercely, though most of his anger was directed at the killer.
"Brother, don’t blame me, I accidentally bumped into him, and he said he wanted to kill me. I had no choice but to fight. Our Fang Family isn’t to be trifled with, right?"
Fang Xiaoli started to make excuses. He Xiaobao was his good friend, and this revenge must be avenged.
"Really? Did you provoke him first?"
Fang Dali knew his brother well, always idle and overbearing. Given his demeanor, who would dare to provoke him?
"Brother, don’t you trust me anymore? Xiaobao died unjustly; we must avenge him." Fang Xiaoli appeared very serious.
Fang Dali took a deep breath. Whether or not it was Fang Xiaoli’s fault, his subordinate was already gone, and this grudge must be settled.
At that moment, the steward Qi Qin hurriedly approached, appearing to have something important.
"Young master, third young master, the master wishes to discuss something with you, please go to the hall."
"Oh? Sure, we’ll be right there!"
Seeing the steward’s expression indicating urgency, Fang Dali dared not delay, quickly signaling to his brother Fang Xiaoli.
The two hurried to the hall.
Three minutes later, in the Fang Family hall, five people were seated: Patriarch Fang Wuji, Steward Qi Qin, Uncle Fang Kun, and the two Fang brothers.
The Fang Family had three children: two sons and a daughter, the daughter being the second child named Fang Chuanting.
But she didn’t involve herself in family affairs, focusing on studies, currently a junior at Ice City High School and only returning home once a week. Since it’s not the weekend, she wouldn’t be at home.
"Is everyone present? Then I’ll start speaking."
The speaker was a man who looked extremely stern and cold, very stocky, sporting a short beard that instantly declared him a martial artist.
This was Fang Wuji. As he spoke, he gestured to several subordinates in the room, indicating they should leave first, since the issue he would discuss was rather crucial.
"Okay, Dad, go ahead!"
As the eldest son, Fang Dali was naturally the first to speak.
Fang Wuji nodded, glanced at the attendees, noting Fang Xiaoli’s somewhat dispirited look, frowning and said, "Xiaoli, what’s wrong, didn’t sleep well last night? Or secretly went out for a night?"
"Ah ha, Dad, nothing like that, I’m very obedient, alright!"
Fang Xiaoli was startled; if his father knew about He Xiaobao’s matters, he would definitely be furious. Not to mention whether he would care about He Xiaobao’s situation, being punished by his father was certain.
Clearly, Fang Dali was also aware and quickly assisted by saying, "Dad, lately, my brother has been fairly obedient, probably didn’t sleep well, haha... Let’s begin the meeting!"
"Hm, it better be that way!"
Fang Wuji glared at Fang Xiaoli distrustfully, then his expression softened considerably, continuing, "According to inside sources from West City Ice Hall, Bing Ruxue’s coldness was countered by a stranger boy, and it’s heard every year, he comes to help her. This way, our plan to acquire Ice Hall falls through."
"What? Is the news reliable? Dad, wasn’t it said before that within three years, our Fang Family could take down Ice Hall?"
Fang Dali was a bit frustrated, having worked tirelessly only to find unexpected circumstances.
"It’s certainly reliable. This person has been undercover for ten years, every message is absolutely true." Fang Wuji confirmed.
"Ah, okay, then Dad, what should we do? Just give up like that?" Fang Dali was somewhat deflated.
"Of course not."
Fang Wuji’s tone shifted, his face displaying a slight cold smile: "As long as we eliminate the person helping Bing Ruxue counter the coldness, it’ll be fine, right?"
"Right, why didn’t I think of that! Wow, Dad, let’s head over and take out that boy!" Fang Dali was urgent, having forgotten these details.
Fang Wuji raised his hand, interrupting Fang Dali’s words. The informant mentioned the boy is unknown to them, only heard he was brought by Ouyang Manor’s Ouyang Meijia.
"Dali, don’t act now, remain home managing other affairs, let this matter be handled by Xiaoli and your uncle Fang Kun!"
Fang Wuji continued, "Kun, Xiaoli, in some time you two will head to Ouyang Manor. However, don’t be too aggressive, it’s easy to scare off the snakes, and your task is to find that boy’s whereabouts, got it?"
