"That's right, but the Xiao family and the Cheng family have no objections now! Cheng Zhongming, Cheng Tianqiu, do you have any objections? "Vice President Nian asked.
"No!" Cheng Tianqiu and Cheng Zhongming shook their heads.
"Okay, then Xiao Chen, do you have any questions?" Vice President Nian continued to ask.
"No …" Xiao Chen shook his head.
"That's it. No one has any objections. What else do you have to say?" Vice President Nian looked at Cheng Zhongfan and asked.
"No, what I mean is, on this marriage contract, it was signed by Xiao Feng of the Xiao family and Cheng Zhongming of the Cheng family, but I suspect that Xiao Feng's signature is fake. This is forged by the Cheng family's wishful thinking!" Cheng Zhongfan waved his hand and said while shaking his head.
"What?!" Cheng Zhongming couldn't help but be furious after hearing it. "Cheng Zhongfan, don't talk nonsense. The Xiao family didn't say that it's fake. Why do you have a problem?"
"The Xiao family didn't say it, but it doesn't mean that it's not fake!" Cheng Zhongfan said, "According to the rules of Wulin, the signatories of both parties who signed the contract must be present at the same time to prove that this document is real. Other people's words don't count! Unless you have evidence to prove that this document is signed by Xiao Feng, otherwise, find him for a confrontation! "
"You …" Cheng Zhongming was furious. "Don't you know how Brother Xiao Feng disappeared? You still have the face to say this. You want to find him? "
"I'm just stating the facts!" Cheng Zhongfan didn't care and looked at Vice President Nian. "Vice President Nian, the authenticity of this document may have a problem, so I'll ask the Xiao family to show the evidence. Is there any problem?"
"This … Of course not …" Vice-President Nian didn't expect Cheng Zhongfan to come up with such a move so he was caught unprepared! This document was signed by Xiao Feng. According to the rules, there was no problem finding Xiao Feng to confront, but Xiao Feng had disappeared. Where could they find him?
If that was the case, he would have to pay attention to the doubts of the Cheng family. He couldn't just jump to a conclusion! Moreover, Cheng Zhongfan was a member of the Cheng family. Even if Cheng Tianqiu and Cheng Zhongming had no objections, he couldn't ignore Cheng Zhongfan's objections!
This involved the reputation and prestige of the Outer Martial Arts Guild. Even if he wanted to help Xiao Chen, he was powerless. He could only look at Xiao Chen in a deep voice and said, "What evidence do you have to prove that this was signed by your father, Xiao Feng?"
"I have some other handwriting written by my father. We can bring it together for judicial appraisal!" On Xiao Chen's side, he also thought of a way to deal with it and said calmly.
"In that case, how can you prove that these were written by Xiao Feng? Unless you find Xiao Feng and let him write a few words personally for appraisal, otherwise, I have reason to suspect that you have been faking it! "Without waiting for Vice President Nian to express her opinion, Cheng Zhongfan raised his doubts again!
To be honest, Cheng Zhongfan's approach was a bit unreasonable. There was always legal evidence to prove that this document was signed by Xiao Feng personally. But the key problem was that the Outer Martial Arts Guild didn't care about these. Many of their customs still retained the ancient traditions.
The greatest evidence was the witness. Without the witness, the others could only be regarded as auxiliary evidence.
"If there is no evidence, then our documents are naturally the most effective!" Cheng Zhongfan said, "This has the signature of Cheng Tianqiu and Xiao Yao, so please give us justice, Vice President Nian!"
Looking at the overbearing Cheng Zhongfan, Vice-President Nian felt a headache coming on. He was incomparably furious, but he couldn't say anything to refute. The other party had seized on this point of disagreement and expanded it infinitely, leaving him unable to deal with it for a while.
"Ahem …" Vice President Nian coughed twice and looked at Xiao Chen to see what he would say.
Xiao Chen was also a little depressed. He didn't expect Cheng Zhongfan to make an issue of the signature. If he insisted that this was not signed by his father and was fake, then he really couldn't take out any evidence. Even if he took out, he could deny it. After all, his father wasn't present.
"May I ask, Vice President Nian, according to the rules of the martial arts circle, must there be a witness?" Xiao Chen didn't say much nonsense and just asked.
"This is a must." Vice President Nian nodded and said, "In the martial arts circle, this is the most convincing. People in the martial arts circle pay particular attention to confronting on the spot and questioning face to face, so …"
Speaking of this, Vice President Nian smiled bitterly. He didn't continue, but in fact, he was also hinting to Xiao Chen that he would definitely help if he could help. But now there was no reason to refuse, and he had no other way.
Xiao Chen frowned. He didn't expect Cheng Zhongfan to be so difficult to deal with. Looking at his arrogant look, Xiao Chen really wanted to kick him to death. But even if he wanted to give face to Vice President Nian, he couldn't do so.
After thinking about it, Xiao Chen said, "In this case, is the opinion of the person involved not important?"
"In the martial arts circle, the orders of parents, family, and masters are more important than anything else …" Vice President Nian shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Xiao Chen, if you don't have other supporting evidence, then I will make a judgment on this matter!"
Cheng Mengying was originally quite happy. Seeing that Xiao Chen took out the marriage contract and dealt a blow to the Kuishan Sect, and Vice President Nian's words were obviously supporting Xiao Chen, she felt relieved at this moment!
She felt that Xiao Chen really had a way to deal with the Kuishan Sect's tricks again and again. But she didn't expect her second uncle, Cheng Zhongfan, to come up with such a bad move.
Cheng Mengying felt very sad. Why did grandma like Cheng Tiannu? Why did she give birth to a traitor like Cheng Zhongfan? As a woman, Cheng Mengying found it hard to understand why a woman would betray her husband in a marriage.
She felt that if she was with Xiao Chen, she would be faithful to him and would never have feelings for anyone else … Hmph, I won't have feelings for Xiao Chen. I'm just giving an example!
No matter what, although Cheng Mengying comforted herself in her heart, she was very anxious at the same time. She didn't want to marry Yao Bowang. She might as well die.
However, looking at Xiao Chen's helpless look, Cheng Mengying's face turned pale. Was there really no other way? Yes, how could there be any other way?
Looking at Cheng Zhongfan's cunning smile, Cheng Mengying was a little resentful. She should have been more ruthless and let Xiao Chen kill him!
"Vice President Nian, even if I go to find evidence, I need time, right? My father is missing, and I have to find him! " Xiao Chen suddenly said, "I believe you should also understand that this marriage contract is real. It's just that Cheng Zhongfan is nitpicking. Uncle Cheng Zhongming and my Xiao family both approved it, but he insisted on doubting it. So please allow me to find a witness, which is my father!"
"Oh …" Vice President Nian was in a dilemma. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, her eyes suddenly lit up and she laughed. "That's right, Xiao Chen, you're right. Your contract seems to be real. You just lack a witness. In that case, I'll allow you to find the witness and then make a decision!"
"Thank you, Vice President Nian!" Xiao Chen cupped his fists and smiled. He was overjoyed in his heart. This was simply a trick of "delaying". Anyway, you're letting me find the witness. Why do you care how long I take to find him? If I can't find him forever, you'll have to wait. Sooner or later, you'll die.
"Vice President Nian, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate, right?" Cheng Zhongfan frowned. He thought it was foolproof, but he didn't expect Xiao Chen to come up with such a suggestion.
"What's inappropriate about it? My judgment is fair and just. Do you have any objections? Do you want to object? "Vice President Nian snorted.
"Of course not. How would I dare to object? On the contrary, I also feel that Vice President Nian's decision is extremely wise! But what I mean is, even if you want to find a witness, there should be a deadline, right? We can't wait forever just because Xiao Chen said so, right? By then, it would be too late! "Cheng Zhongfan said with a smile.
Xiao Chen's face darkened. He didn't expect this guy to be an old fox. He even guessed his plan. It seemed like the plan wouldn't work.
"You're right. Let's do it this way. Let's use three years as the deadline. If Xiao Chen can't find a witness within three years, then the Cheng family will naturally fulfill the marriage agreement with the Kuishan Sect!" Vice President Nian said. Generally, the agreement in the martial arts circle was three years. It was the same for martial arts competitions. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to say three years. But if it was a little more, it would be a little biased. No one could find fault with it now.
"Of course, but we have a condition!" Although three years was a little long, it wasn't impossible. This year, Cheng Mengying was only 19 years old. Three years later, she would be 22 years old. People in the secular world got married at this age. Therefore, Cheng Zhongfan agreed.
"What condition?" Vice President Nian asked.
"Cheng Mengying must accompany us back to the sect!" Cheng Zhongfan said.
"How can this be? What if you bring her back and force her? "Xiao Chen immediately objected.
"This definitely won't happen. Our Kuishan Sect is also a big sect. We still have this bit of credibility!" Little Yao Zi also stood up at this time and promised resolutely. He felt that this matter could be fought for.
"Yes, we have evidence now. We can't say that you're looking for evidence. We'll just let it go. This is also a kind of compensation for us! Otherwise, we're afraid that you'll do something desperate and hide Cheng Mengying! "Cheng Zhongfan also said.
"This …" Xiao Chen couldn't help but look at Vice President Nian, asking him to make a decision.
"Xiao Chen, their request isn't too much. The Cheng family can go to the Kuishan Sect. In the name of the External Martial Arts Guild, if the Kuishan Sect dares to violate the agreement and touch a single hair of Cheng Mengying, we will punish the Kuishan Sect!" Vice President Nian thought for a moment and said slowly. In fact, he had no other way. It was unreasonable to look for evidence. If the Kuishan Sect went back and appealed to the External Martial Arts Guild, it might change the verdict!
