Chapter 2216 - 1710: If I Can't Finish Him, I'll Take His Name!

First update, asking for subscriptions, monthly tickets~~~~...

Qin Fang took good care of Wu Jian, otherwise he wouldn't have given him a Ninja Token to use...

"If there's a chance, ask your old man about these people... especially where they're particularly interested!"

However, Qin Fang thought for a moment and gave Wu Jian a simple instruction.

His old man is indeed the top figure in Jiangzhou, and although Chen Lin and others have strong backgrounds, on the grounds of Jiangzhou, some matters must go through Wu Ling to be handled smoothly.

If Wu Ling, the top official, isn't satisfied, he can always make things difficult for them, and that'll be enough trouble for them.

Having reached the top position in Jiangzhou, Wu Ling has also entered the upper echelons of his career, not easily swayed by anyone else, even the Six Major Chinese Clans with their immense power can't do anything.

Moreover, often Wu Ling doesn't need to personally appear, just subtly hint at things, and naturally a group of people will handle things on his behalf... it's truly as terrifying as locusts passing.

Similar to today's situation, this inspection group was clearly sent by certain people, yet a group of people got beaten up without reason, and there's nowhere to argue their case... and they have to worry about possible consequences later!

Arranging for Wu Jian to gather information is indeed a good idea.

Wu Jian is Wu Ling's only son, plus Qin Fang's relationship, surely Wu Ling would give some face...

Besides, Wu Ling himself suspects Chen Lin and others have unclear intentions, but he can't directly investigate this matter, passing it to Qin Fang for handling makes him feel assured... Qin Fang helped him quite a bit in the past.

"Don't worry, Brother Qin, I'll take care of this..."

Wu Jian immediately patted his chest and promised.

Nowadays, he's considered top-notch young master in Jiangzhou, not to act arrogantly, but definitely not many dare to provoke him... What's more, becoming a Grandmaster Level Ninja soon, his self-defense ability is more than adequate, making him even safer.

...

Bang~~~

A delicate porcelain bowl was fiercely smashed to the ground, shattering immediately.

"Such injustice..."

Chen Lin's handsome and extraordinary face was now as unpleasant as it could be... The calm and suave demeanor was completely gone, he looked like a spoiled brat in a fit of rage.

"Old Chen, what's going on? Who provoked you to such fury?"

Just then, a young man of similar age to Chen Lin came in, unable to hold back his curiosity and asked.

It was apparent that this young man had a pretty good relationship with Chen Lin, at least he didn't show any schadenfreude or ridicule, instead showing clear concern, and this person is Jiang Wei of the Jiang Family, one of the Six Major Families...

Technically speaking, he and Chen Lin grew up together as childhood friends, plus Jiang Wei married one of Chen Lin's cousins as his wife, naturally their relationship is quite good.

"Who provoked me? Damn it... it's that Qin guy!"

Chen Lin's anger hadn't subsided, his tone was filled with fury, though slightly restrained, it was still palpable.

"The Qin guy, which Qin guy?"

Jiang Wei paused, somewhat puzzled, murmuring to himself as it seemed he had no impression…

In his view, anyone who could match their level should at least be someone like Qiao Zhenfei... but it seemed they didn't know any Qin "princelings," which is why he felt a bit confused.

"It's the guy Qiao Zhenfei brought that day..."

Chen Lin was also taken aback for a moment, then understood, suppressed some anger, and spoke in a slightly better tone.

"That person... how did he provoke you?"

With Chen Lin's reminder, Jiang Wei recalled Qin Fang.

At that time, they were discussing matters, and Qiao Zhenfei came in at the wrong moment, coupled with their lack of interest in meeting a small, unknown person like Qin Fang, they naturally didn't show him any kindness.

Despite that, they still vaguely remembered there was such a person...

It's just that, thinking about this person, Jiang Wei found it even more peculiar... It seems Qin Fang was brought over by Qiao Zhenfei, and appeared to be a small character like Qiao Zhenfei's follower or lackey. They didn't even think highly of Qiao Zhenfei, let alone Qin Fang.

However, now that Chen Lin is so furious, it's probably because something happened, and this Qin really offended Chen Lin badly...

"How did he provoke me? I got beaten by him..."

Chen Lin wore a wry smile as he lifted his shirt, revealing a faint bruise on his abdomen, which looked like a footprint... Coupled with Chen Lin's words, Jiang Wei naturally understood what had happened.

"What, he even dared to hit you? Has he gone mad..."

Realizing what had transpired, Jiang Wei was also furious... His face showed an extremely unpleasant expression as he immediately roared, pulled out his phone, and said, "I'll call that kid Qiao Zhenfei. How is he leading his followers... Damn it, if he doesn't give me an explanation today, I won't let him off!"

"No need to call..."

However, his action was halted by Chen Lin, "I already called him. Before I could say much, he hung up on me... That guy is in cahoots with Qin."

"Uh..."

Jiang Wei was taken aback, obviously not expecting this, and couldn't help but frown and mutter, "Does this kid have some background or identity we're not aware of? Even Qiao Zhenfei sided with him, not afraid to offend our families..."

This time, they came to Jiangzhou, and their families had already contacted the higher-ups in Dragon Country. Qiao Zhenfei even specially came to take care of them and was quite courteous to them... It was said that this was specially arranged by the Qiao Family.

However, they did not expect that the always polite Qiao Zhenfei would, when it came to matters involving Qin Fang, throw away the family's arrangements and stand directly on Qin Fang's side, which was clearly unusual.

They came from the Six Major Chinese Clans, with strong identities and backgrounds, always looking down on others. However, they weren't fools and naturally understood that there was something they didn't know about.

"So what do you plan to do? We can't let such humiliation pass so easily for our Six Major Families... Moreover, if this matter isn't handled well, other families might use it against us!"

Jiang Wei remained silent for a while, seemingly unable to figure anything out, and simply threw the problem back to Chen Lin, while also stating the serious repercussions of the situation with an unpleasant expression.

"Of course, I know that..."

Chen Lin nodded, speaking irritably, "That Qin dared to hit me... Hmph, if I, Mr. Chen, can't peel his skin off, I'll change my surname to his!"

"Are you planning to send someone... hmm?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wei's expression slightly changed, and he couldn't help but ask while making a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.

"You need to be aware that we are at a critical stage now, and there's no room for mistakes. If your actions cause a hiccup, you know how troublesome it will be... Even I might struggle to keep you safe, and I could be implicated as well..."

Compared to the raging Chen Lin, Jiang Wei was much more rational, carefully explaining the potential consequences.

"Don't worry, I never said I would send our own people..."

Chen Lin said indifferently, clearly already having a plan.

"Handle this on your own; just remember... don't affect our plan, and don't leave any evidence for the other side to use against us!"

Jiang Wei frowned, seemingly not wanting to get too involved, merely giving a few instructions before leaving Chen Lin... And Chen Lin, preparing his revenge plan, didn't notice Jiang Wei's expression and demeanor change as he left.

"What an idiot! I thought you were more rational, but it seems... it's time to make more preparations! Hmm, perhaps it's time to find a new ally..."

Walking out from Chen Lin's place, Jiang Wei seemed like a different person, with brows tightly clenched, muttering quietly.

If Qin Fang could know what was happening here, he would surely realize that the seemingly close ties between the Six Major Chinese Clans actually had too many holes and vulnerabilities...

Unfortunately, Qin Fang was clearly not in the place where Chen Lin and others lived, and among his people, only a few had infiltrated, but had not yet approached core figures like Chen Lin, Jiang Wei, and others.

However, Qin Fang's side wasn't completely fruitless either.

"You kid, you really can't stay out of trouble, can you? You just got back and already caused such a mess... Are you trying to kill me!"

Qiao Zhenfei looked at Qin Fang with a wry smile, seemingly filled with grievances.

"Brother Qiao, it's my fault this time... Please don't take it to heart! If these people want to take revenge on me, let them come; I don't take them seriously at all... Here, try this; it's a special wine I brought back. You can't buy it even if you have money..."

Despite Qiao Zhenfei sounding like he had a lot of grievances, Qin Fang knew that Qiao Zhenfei genuinely cared about him and even risked breaking ties with the Six Major Chinese Clans, something that deeply touched Qin Fang.

In appreciation, Qin Fang specially brought out a jar of decades-aged wine he had procured from the Xu Family and drank with Qiao Zhenfei... He planned to take it back as a gift for Master Cai Pingyuan, Elder Tang, Elder Chu, and others.

Now that Qiao Zhenfei was supporting him so firmly, if he couldn't bring himself to part with this good wine, it would truly be ungrateful... (To be continued.
