There were only three men and three women among the outsiders. Although the three men weren't particularly handsome, they weren't ugly either.
Although one of them was a little older, he was only in his thirties or forties. She was interested in the person behind the scenes. No matter which one of them it was, as long as he was intelligent, she could accept it.
She, Hai Mingzhu, had never been a person who judged people by their appearance. As long as their appearance was acceptable, she only had two requirements for her future husband. One was that he must have a strong force, and the other was that he must be smarter than her.
Now that the person behind Pan Xianglong had shown amazing force, as long as he could show wisdom that was superior to her, it would be fine.
It was not that Hai Mingzhu didn't want to marry him, but she was very clear that since her grandfather was willing to list this person as a candidate for his grandson-in-law, it meant that her grandfather was interested in this person.
As the pearl of the Hai family, she did not have any resistance to this. The only thing she had to consider was what her marriage would bring to the Hai family. This was the idea instilled in her by her grandfather since she was a child, and it was also the standard she set for herself when choosing a spouse.
It sounded very ironic, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She had enjoyed the best resources of the Hai family since she was a child. Of course, she had to give the greatest return to the family. It was fair, wasn't it?
As for feelings and so on, Hai Mingzhu felt that those were dispensable things. In her world, only those who were smarter than her and stronger than her were qualified to be her man. Nothing else mattered.
…
Tianfu City was a lower-middle-class villa area in Shu Du.
Although it was a single-family villa, the area was really not big. The main building covered an area of only a little more than 100 square meters. The upper and lower floors added up to only more than 200 square meters. Even the garden at the entrance was only 40 or 50 square meters. There was not even a private garage. Cars could only be parked in the parking lot of the community, not to mention the lawn, swimming pool and so on. It was definitely a relatively shabby villa.
Pan Weiguo was a businessman. He paid attention to auspiciousness. Therefore, the Pan family lived in the number six villa of Tianfu City.
But at this moment, in the living room of the villa, Pan Xianglong's mother, Song Shue, was frowning. She stared at Pan Weiguo, who was constantly making phone calls, and asked eagerly, "How is it? Still can't get through? "
"It got through, but no one answered."
Pan Weiguo frowned and answered helplessly after putting down the phone.
"Is Old Zhao playing a prank? Xiaolong is still a child. How could he provoke the Wu Clan?"
Song Shue said with a glimmer of hope.
"Old Zhao is an old friend of mine. He has always been steady and would not joke about such a thing."
Pan Weiguo rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He said in distress, "It's a pity that Old Zhao only heard it from his friend. He only knows that it's at Yulin Food Street, but he doesn't know the exact location."
"Could Old Zhao's friend have recognized the wrong person? Xiaolong didn't even dare to kill a chicken since he was a child. How could he know any martial arts?"
Song Shue was about to cry, but she still didn't give up.
"Pan Xianglong. The Xiang character is to reminisce about our hometown. Although it's possible that it's the same name, the probability is very low. Furthermore, the Young Master of the Wu Clan once said that he's the son of the Pan Clan's Pharmaceutical Company's chairman. It can't be wrong."
Although Pan Weiguo did not understand how his son suddenly became a martial arts master, he inferred from the words of Old Zhao's friend that it should be his son, Pan Xianglong.
"Wuwuwu … What should I do? Old Pan, you must think of a way to save our son."
When Song Shue thought of the terrible strength of the Wu Clan, she suddenly felt sad and sobbed in a low voice.
Pan Weiguo did not speak. Instead, he lit a cigarette and lowered his head to smoke in silence. In the lingering smoke, the helpless bitterness on his face was faintly discernible.
Perhaps his wife did not realize that it was not just a matter of saving their son, but the entire Pan Clan was facing imminent disaster.
The Wu Clan was a family that killed without blinking an eye. How could his son not know the immensity of heaven and earth and provoke the Wu Clan?
This filled his heart with sorrow. Was this his fate?
In the past, he had offended someone in his hometown that he could not afford to offend. He could only abandon his family business and flee to Shudu City overnight with his newly married wife, starting from scratch.
He did not know how much suffering and suffering he had suffered to slowly save up the family business that he had now. Although it was not as good as the family business, it was more than enough.
If time went back more than 20 years, when he was still young and strong, he would definitely escape from Shudu City overnight with his wife and son without saying a word. At worst, he would just start from scratch.
But now, his son had provoked the Wu Clan, which was more terrifying than the original enemy. He was already old and could not escape, and he did not want to escape anymore. He accepted his fate.
"Shue, now pack up your things immediately. After we go to Yulin Road to find Xiaolong, we will leave overnight to Ninghai to find Xiangyun and let her quit the entertainment circle immediately. You and your mother will find a small place to live a good life incognito. Don't show up in public again. I have saved a lot of money for you over the years. If you spend it sparingly, it will be enough for you to live the rest of your life."
The cigarette butt was pressed out in the ashtray. Pan Weiguo's eyes were bloodshot, and he said softly.
"Our third wife? What about you? "
Song Shue keenly felt a strong uneasiness from Pan Weiguo's words, and suddenly asked with her eyes wide open.
"I want to stay and deal with the Wu Clan. Only if I stay can you have a chance to escape from Shudu City."
Pan Weiguo took a deep look at his wife. There was attachment, reluctance, and a trace of determination in his eyes.
"No, old Pan, I left my hometown with you and came to Shudu City. No matter how hard the life was, we have never been separated. Now, are you going to leave me?"
Song Shue's vision was blurred by tears. She grabbed Pan Weiguo's hand emotionally and cried hysterically.
"Shue, now is not more than 20 years ago. We already have Xiangyun and Xiaolong. We can't live for ourselves anymore. We have to think about our children. Don't argue anymore. Go and pack up your things. If you are late, it will be too late …"
Before Pan Weiguo finished his words, the door was kicked open with a bang, and a group of more than a dozen people rushed in aggressively.
The old couple's face changed dramatically. Song Shue boldly shouted, "Who are you? Don't you know that it is illegal to break into private houses? "
"Illegal? In Shudu City, our Wu Clan is the law. If you want to blame someone, blame your bastard. You can offend anyone, but you dare to offend our Wu Clan. Take them away. "
The leader of the group sneered and waved his hand.
This person was the third son of the Wu Clan, Wu Shixun. This kind of thing didn't need him to do it himself. However, Wu Erlang had messed it up before. Although Wu Shian didn't blame him, he still felt that it was very shameful. With the mentality of atoning for his mistake, he personally led the team this time.
As soon as his voice fell, a group of men behind him rushed towards Pan Weiguo and his wife like wolves and tigers.
"Wait, Third Master Wu, I am the chairman of the Pan's Pharmaceutical Company, Pan Weiguo. I am willing to give the Pan's Pharmaceutical Company to Third Master Wu. I only ask that you let my family live."
Pan Weiguo shielded the pale Song Shue behind him and pleaded to Wu Shixun.
"Let your family live?"
Wu Shixun smiled disdainfully. Then, his face darkened and he said sternly, "Let your family live? What about the Wu Clan's reputation?"
Pan Weiguo's face turned pale. He closed his eyes in pain and said, "My son caused this trouble. I am willing to accept the Wu Clan's punishment on his behalf. Please let my wife and son go. I will give my life to the Wu Clan and give the Pan's Pharmaceutical Company to you as compensation."
"Tsk tsk tsk, how touching. How about this, it is not impossible for me to let you go."
Wu Shixun rubbed his chin as a playful smile appeared on his face.
"Third Master Wu, as long as you promise to let my family go, I can promise you anything."
Pan Weiguo was overjoyed and hurriedly said.
"Your bastard dared to use my nephew's life to threaten the head of the Wu Clan. Now, kneel down and beg me. Maybe I will consider letting your family live."
Wu Shixun said slowly.
Pan Weiguo's face changed drastically. A man should kneel to the heavens, the earth, and his parents. How could he easily kneel to Wu Shixun?
But for the safety of his family, he had no choice. He took a deep breath and endured the humiliation in his heart. He clenched his teeth and said, "Alright, as long as you keep your word, I will promise you."
"No … Old Pan …"
Song Shue cried with tears in her eyes.
She knew very well how prideful Pan Weiguo was. Otherwise, he would not have given up his family business and left his hometown. He was not willing to wag his tail and beg for mercy to someone he could not afford to offend.
"Shue, don't say anymore. As long as you can live well, what does it matter if I kneel?"
Pan Weiguo's face became very calm. He smiled and looked at his wife who had tears in her eyes.
Once a person had something to worry about, they would no longer live for themselves. Dignity was really nothing in front of family.
"Stop being so wordy. If you want to kneel, do it now."
Wu Shixun impatiently urged as he shot a meaningful glance at Wu Tong.
Wu Tong nodded in understanding. He took out his phone with a sinister smile and turned on the camera function.
He wanted to record this scene and play it for Pan Xianglong. He wanted to trample on Pan Xianglong's dignity and restore the Wu Clan's lost reputation.
Aren't you very awesome? You actually dared to ask the Wu Clan's Clan Head to kowtow and apologize. How about now? Didn't your father still have to kneel and beg for mercy?
At the same time, he wanted to let Pan Xianglong know that the Wu Clan was not something he could provoke. No one in this world could still live after provoking the Wu Clan.
"No, Old Pan. He is lying to you. It is impossible for him to let us go."
Song Shue grabbed Pan Weiguo's arm tightly and wailed with a heart-wrenching voice.
She might be very afraid, but she still maintained a clear mind. From Wu Shixun's words and his intention to record the video, she realized that the Wu Clan had no intention of letting them go.
"I know, I know, but what else can I do? As long as there is a one in a million possibility, I will try."
Pan Weiguo's vision was blurred by tears, but he still had a smile on his face and spoke in a weak voice.
That's right, what else can I do? Even if he knew it was a lie, he was like a drowning man grabbing onto a straw. As long as there was a one in a million possibility, he had to make the final effort.
"Old woman, stop wailing. Shut up, or else I will ask someone to take turns on you."
Wu Tong was upset by Song Shue's crying and yelling. He glared and scolded.
"You guys … deserve to die."
A clear voice that contained monstrous anger suddenly echoed and echoed in the living room leisurely.
"Xiangyun?"
Pan Weiguo and Song Shue stiffened as though they were electrocuted. They slowly turned their heads in shock and saw Pan Xiangyun walking down from the second floor with a furious expression. Their eyes were immediately filled with despair.
It's over. It's all over now.
They muttered in a low voice in unison.
Although they didn't know why their daughter suddenly appeared here, no matter how she came back, it was obvious that she came back at the wrong time. Wasn't she walking right into a trap?
