When Jiang Junling saw that the phone screen showed the landline number of his grandfather's old house, he knew that something had happened that he didn't know about.
He knew that his premonition was right. The feeling of uneasiness and dryness of the mouth when danger struck really did exist.
He rarely experienced this kind of feeling.
But, what on earth had happened?
Could it be that the Qin family had stood up for Fang Yan? Only one person from the Qin family would stand up for him, and that person wouldn't alarm his grandfather … It was just a child. She should stand up for him and say a few harsh words, or ask someone to send a few invitation letters to help him out of trouble. This was what a girl should do.
If it was just this, how could it make his grandfather say such a serious word as "a crushing defeat"?
Did other forces intervene?
If he had other powers, why couldn't he even get an invitation letter before?
Swallow Dock!
In just a breath's time, Jiang Junling had already thought of all kinds of possibilities.
Finally, the target of the attack was Swallow Dock. They did have the strength, but what motive did they have?
Just as he knew, Swallow Dock didn't belong to Fang Yan alone, but to everyone in Swallow Dock.
The results of Jiang Junling's investigation showed that there were also cracks within Swallow Dock. Many people didn't have a good impression of the Fang family.
Most importantly, Swallow Dock had been silent for a hundred years. Just because of the disturbance caused by a few children, they were suspected of being bullied … So that old man stood up and shouted for them?
His grandfather wouldn't explain the reason to him over the phone, and he couldn't ask anything over the phone.
Jiang Junling didn't disobey his grandfather's words. He said meekly, "Grandfather, I'll go back now."
After hanging up the phone, his expression had already returned to normal.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him and the phone in his hand, Jiang Junling smiled and said, "Everyone, I have to go first."
Wow …
All the guests looked at the General's Order in astonishment.
They didn't understand why Jiang Junling wanted to leave at this time. After all, when both sides were at daggers drawn and ready to fight, leaving would mean that he was backing down, which meant that he had failed … Or did he already realize that he had failed?
How could Jiang Junling fail?
How could Jiang Junling fail in Yan Jing City?
Shock, fear, doubt, and … hostility.
Jiang Junling's failure was equivalent to the loss of their bets. They did not blame Jiang Junling, who failed with their expectations. Instead, they blamed his opponent for winning.
Fang Yan, this country bumpkin, what kind of power was he hiding?
Yi Rong quickly walked over and said discontentedly, "Brother, what happened? Why does Grandpa want you to go back at this time? Didn't you explain it to him? "
Jiang Yi Rong still did not understand the seriousness of the matter, thinking that his grandfather had some urgent matter that his brother had to go back to deal with. Based on Grandpa's preference for Big Brother, he wouldn't have any objections.
General Xing also walked over and said with a smile, "Is Grandpa's chess addiction acting up again? If that's the case, I advise you to go back quickly … Anyway, I won't go back to be tortured. "
General Xing's way of handling things was more experienced. He used a perfect reason to explain why his grandfather wanted Jiang Junling to go back at this time. This was to help Jiang Junling get off the stage.
Jiang Junling ignored them and walked up to Fang Yan and said, "Wonderful. This game is really wonderful. Until now … until I just received a call from Grandpa that I understood. From the moment you found out about this banquet, you have been planning it. Even if I ignored you, you would find a reason to cause a conflict between us … Your goal is to make this matter bigger, to push today's charity banquet to the teeth of the storm, to create a situation where you and I will not rest until one of us is dead … It is only at this time that they stand up, isn't it? "
Fang Yan did not expect Jiang Junling to be so frank. He smiled, said hello to everyone, turned around and left, or used the excuse of General Xing to perfunctorily brush off the unaware audience. These were all good ways to get a reason and preserve his face.
Why did he expose his own disgrace in public and admit his failure?
Was it because he was too proud? Or … was he still disdainful of himself?
Fang Yan looked at Jiang Junling thoughtfully and said with a smile, "Let me tell you a story."
"I'm all ears."
"When I was eight years old, every time I went to play with Ye Fengsheng, their dog would bark at me and bare its teeth. There were a few times when it almost pounced on me … I was very scared."
Everyone was listening to Fang Yan's story, but why did it sound so simple and shabby?
"Later, it was stolen and made into a dog meat hotpot. I was sad for a few days," Fang Yan said. "I could no longer hear its familiar barks."
"What a good story," Jiang Junling said with a smile. "Goodbye."
"Jiang Junling."
Jiang Junling turned to look at Fang Yan.
"Don't be sad, you didn't fail," Fang Yan comforted him.
"Thank you." Jiang Junling's eyes were slightly cold. He did not need others to comfort him.
"You were just trampled to death by me. It's not a big deal. "
"…"
The general gave the order to leave.
He sent Yi Rong away.
And some families who could not bear the humiliation also left.
For some reason, the General Line did not leave with them.
As a result, Fang Yan became the only focus of the whole scene.
Fang Yan took the wine glass from the waiter who was standing still and took the initiative to raise his glass to everyone. He said, "I know you don't like me, and I don't like you either … But you can rest assured that I'm not a man who holds grudges. I can't remember that you stood on Jiang Junling's side and drove me away. "
"…"
Everyone was very worried.
After their first contact with Fang Yan, they felt that this guy was really a very vengeful person.
Fang Yan drank the champagne in the glass and returned the invitation in his hand to Bruce Lee. "Brother Long, I'll give this back to you first … The favor inside is too heavy for me to repay in a short time. I'll pay it back slowly."
Bruce Lee did not reach out to take the card. "Since it's given to you, you can take it."
Fang Yan smiled and waved his hand. He pointed to Ye Fengsheng and Zhu Zidan and said, "Nothing can be accomplished without rules. Rules are rules, and rules must be obeyed. I'm not a person who likes to destroy things … My friends were forced to leave because they didn't have an invitation. How can I stay here alone to drink wine and look at beautiful women? I can't do this kind of thing. You keep the card and take part in the next auction. Buy a few more and take it back as our apology to our friends in the disaster area. "
Hearing Fang Yan's words, Bruce Lee did not refuse. He took the card and said, "I'll buy one for each of you."
"Thank you, Brother Long." Fang Yan and Bruce Lee shook hands.
"We are all from Swallow Dock," Bruce Lee said. "What you want to do is what I want to do."
Fang Yan and Ye Fengsheng winked at each other. The beautiful men of Swallow Dock were ready to leave.
"Mr. Fang Yan, please wait a moment." A clear and sweet woman's voice was heard.
Then there was the sound of high-heeled shoes tapping on the floor, indicating that the person was walking in a hurry.
The crowd dispersed, and a tall woman in a black dress walked over.
Behind her, there was a handsome waiter in a black suit. The waiter held a tray in his hand. The tray was covered with white silk, and no one knew what valuable items were inside.
Seeing the woman come out, many people took the initiative to greet her.
"Miss Luo, you're finally out!"
"Miss Luo, long time no see. You're still as elegant as ever …"
"Mingyan, hurry up and solve the problem. These young people …"
Some people did not understand the woman's identity and asked the people next to them in a low voice.
Fang Yan did not know the woman's background. Fortunately, Bruce Lee, who was standing next to him, explained in time, "Luo Mingyan, one of the three founders of the Maple Leaf Society … The Luo family has some influence in Yanjing City. I hope she came with good intentions."
"If they were not good to me, they would have come out long ago," Fang Yan said with a smile.
Bruce Lee agreed. If the founder of the Maple Leaf Society had come out earlier, he would have expelled Fang Yan as the organizer, or even gone too far and directly called the police.
There were still many things that Bruce Lee could not figure out. For example, why did Fang Yan and Jiang Junling have such a deep conflict? Why did Fang Yan sneak into the charity banquet and why did he confront Jiang Junling again? Why did Jiang Junling retreat at the critical moment? What did he mean by those words?
He saw everything that happened inside the club. What happened outside that he could not see?
However, Bruce Lee also understood that the Maple Leaf Society helped Fang Yan to defeat Jiang Junling.
As the organizers of the banquet, they did nothing when such a thing happened. In fact, they were already partial.
So the question was, did the people of the Maple Leaf Society also stand on Fang Yan's side?
Luo Mingyan exchanged greetings with her familiar friends and elders, but she did not slow down her pace at all and walked to Fang Yan.
She took the initiative to stretch out her white hand to Fang Yan and said, "Hello, Mr. Fang Yan. I'm Luo Mingyan of the Maple Leaf Society. "I'm sorry I'm late … It's our staff's negligence that the invitations for you and your friends were not sent in time. We are deeply sorry that you were misunderstood by others. "
Luo Mingyan stepped aside and the waiter came forward with a tray and said, "Now we'll bring up the invitations for you gentlemen. I hope you can have a good time in the club."
