Yanjing.
Several limousines were parked outside Zhang Chenfeng's ancient residence, which was located in a courtyard house.
Four guards came over to open the doors, and two stooped but spirited old men got out of the cars.
These two old men were the highest figures in the Murong and Li families.
The guards pushed open the courtyard door. Zhang Chenfeng stood at the door of the east wing and pretended to be surprised when he saw the two. "Oh, rare guests. Why did you come in a group today?"
The two old men standing at the door looked at Zhang Chenfeng and snorted.
"Come, don't just stand there. We're all old, come in and sit." Zhang Chenfeng smiled and invited the two to sit on a mahogany chair in the east wing. There was a man in his thirties standing at the inner door. He was the Ace of Spades.
He was in charge of making tea and serving them.
Zhang Chenfeng was smiling, but the two guests didn't have any intention of smiling.
The Li family's old man, Li Yifeng, glanced at Zhang Chenfeng and said eccentrically, "Brother Zhang, you're older than us by more than ten years. Why do you have to go through so much trouble?"
Zhang Chenfeng smiled. "What do the two of you mean?"
The Murong family's old man snorted. "We're all old, but we're not stupid. Don't pretend to be stupid. You should have heard about what happened between the Ye and Long families, right? "
Zhang Chenfeng nodded. "Of course I've heard about such a big thing. It's indeed a bit strange."
The Murong family's old man said, "It's more than strange. It's simply unimaginable. We went to take a look, and our spies also reported that there weren't any large-scale firearms or ammunition conflicts between the Ye and Long families. Brother Zhang, what do you think about this? "
Zhang Chenfeng very naturally raised his cup of tea and sipped it. He said in surprise, "Didn't you say it was because of revenge?"
"Revenge?" The Li family's old man snorted coldly. With an expression that said 'I think you're an idiot', he emphasized his tone and asked, "In today's world, to be able to single-handedly kill someone, in Brother Zhang's eyes, who can do it?"
Zhang Chenfeng chuckled. "What are you trying to say?"
The Murong family's old man sneered. "I think there's no one other than you, Zhang Chenfeng, who has the ability to do this?"
Spade A, who was standing behind them, was unhappy. "What do you mean?"
Zhang Chenfeng raised his hand to signal for them to stop. He then looked at the two elders and said with a smile, "Then do you think that I can really barge into the Long family and raze it to the ground by myself?"
"If Brother Long was here, Brother Zhang definitely wouldn't be able to do it. But if Brother Long wasn't here, I'm afraid you're the only one in this world who can slaughter the Long family without the help of any army."
Zhang Chenfeng smiled. "Then why didn't I do it before? Why did I have to do it now? As you can see, I'm already so old, and I'm about to ascend to the heavens. If I make a move now, wouldn't I be tormenting myself to an early death? Look at my body. Is it possible that I just got into a fight? "
The two old men had only come this time to test the waters. They did not have any evidence, so naturally, they could not shed all pretense of cordiality the moment they arrived. They immediately eased up and raised their teacup to take a sip. The Li family's old man said with a smile that was not a smile, "I didn't say you did it, but you and I both know that other than you, we really can't think of anyone else who could make a move against large clans like the Ye family and the Long family."
Zhang Chenfeng smiled. "Didn't I tell you? It's not like you guys don't know about the 'elopement' from twenty years ago. Back then, this matter caused a huge uproar, and the Ye and Long families made their presence known. I just didn't expect that this poor couple would have an only son. The hatred of killing one's father is absolutely irreconcilable. I feel that he has a bigger motive than I do. "
"But Xu Cheng doesn't have the ability!" Elder Murong immediately retorted, "We've investigated Xu Cheng's background. To be honest, he does have the strength, but he's not strong enough for us to pay attention to him. We've also heard about what happened in the competition, but we can only say that he's slightly stronger than the Long family's Long Xiao."
The Li family's old man narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhang Chenfeng. "I just want to know, are you behind him?"
Elder Zhang Chenfeng raised his teacup. "No! Although he came from the military system, he always chose to stay in the 5th Military Region. "
"If that's the case, then we can rest assured." Elder Li faintly smiled and said, "Since there's no one behind him, then it's a lot easier. You know our rules. He violated the clan, so he won't be able to live tonight."
Zhang Chenfeng's eyes narrowed as he sipped his tea.
The Li family's old man and the Murong family's old man kept staring at his face, trying to see something. However, Zhang Chenfeng's acting skills were on point, and he acted very naturally.
He finished his cup of tea and put it down. "Aren't you guys afraid that he'll bite you like a mad dog?"
The Li family's old man smiled. "We're not afraid of him if he's alone, but we're afraid that there's something behind him."
Zhang Chenfeng smiled. "Since he can destroy the Ye and Long families, then he can also destroy your two families. If I were you, I would have gone into hiding as soon as possible. I'm not afraid of provoking him."
Elder Murong faintly smiled. "Is it him or Brother Zhang who wants us to do this? Or the tens of thousands of people behind you? "
Zhang Chenfeng said, "Actually, you guys should be satisfied. These years of reform, you guys have made more money than you can spend in this lifetime. You should be satisfied. Some things don't belong to you, so you should just let them go!"
Bam!
The old man of the Li family slammed his palm on the tea table. He looked at Zhang Chenfeng coldly. "Zhang Chenfeng, you've finally said what you're thinking. I don't think you're young anymore. Why don't you restrain yourself? Otherwise, you won't be able to keep your integrity."
Spade walked up and was about to make a move, but Zhang Chenfeng waved his hand, signaling him not to come over. Then, he smiled at his two good friends. "I'll say it again, I didn't do it to the Ye and Long families."
The two old men said in unison, "We don't believe you."
Zhang Chenfeng: "Alright then, how about this. You two stay here for the night, and we'll play chess. Tomorrow morning, we'll see if Xu Cheng is still alive or not. If he doesn't have the ability, then he probably won't be able to break out of the encirclement tonight. But if he doesn't die, then I'll prove my innocence. How about that? "
The two: "If he dies, we will burn this place down and take your head as a sacrifice to the Ye and Long families."
Zhang Chenfeng suddenly stopped smiling, narrowed his eyes, and said word by word, "Okay!"
Then, he said to Spade A, "Go get a set of chess. Oh my, it's been a long time since I played with someone. I hope my brain isn't messed up, or else I'm going to get slaughtered."
