"Mr. Jiang, no matter what, thank you so much!"
After discussing Ge’er Kusi’s matter, Yiwan Nuofu stood up and gave Jiang Chen a serious bow.
"Mr. Jiang, thank you!"
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"
ng Sen and Charming Fox also stood up to express their thanks.
"You’re too kind, ngda Ge’er is my brother in life and death. Since he made a request, of course, I would do my utmost to fulfill it!" Jiang Chen said, lightly waving his hand.
Yiwan Nuofu said with concern, "Mr. Jiang, about ngda Ge’er..."
"Mr. Yiwan Nuofu, I truly cannot tell you where he is, this is also for his safety. Please understand!" Jiang Chen interrupted Yiwan Nuofu as he spoke.
Yiwan Nuofu nodded, "Alright, then I won’t ask further, but, can you tell , is he... safe now?"
"Don’t worry, he is not in any danger right now, and moreover, he is not far from taking the revenge he has been longing for!" Jiang Chen reassured in a soft voice.
"That’s good to hear!" Yiwan Nuofu let out a sigh of relief.
Jiang Chen glanced at Yiwan Nuofu and sighed silently in his heart.
He didn’t tell Yiwan Nuofu the truth, that ngda Ge’er was in danger at all tis, and there was no safety to speak of. His identity must not be exposed at all, as once it is, it would be a guaranteed death sentence.
But these things he could not tell Yiwan Nuofu. From the state of Yiwan Nuofu and the others when they talked about ngda Ge’er these two days, it was evident that they were all very concerned about and valued ngda Ge’er. If they knew that ngda Ge’er was in a dangerous situation, they would definitely dig deep for answers.
By then, it would be even more difficult for Jiang Chen to explain.
"Mr. Yiwan Nuofu, now that matters here have been settled, we will take our leave. You must have a lot to attend to!" Jiang Chen tily proposed his departure. The training camp had undergone such a major incident and suffered severe losses, Yiwan Nuofu and the others indeed had a ss on their hands.
"Okay, we will definitely report this incident truthfully to the Chaide Family. Our training camp owes Mr. Jiang an imnse favor. Should there co a need in the future, we will exert our fullest effort!" Yiwan Nuofu did not insist on their staying, indeed they did not have the capacity to entertain Jiang Chen and his company any further.
"Let’s go with Mr. Jiang then," Chief Judge Xi’er said softly.
Yiwan Nuofu nodded, also not insisting any further.
Everyone went together to the tarmac, where Yiwan Nuofu had arranged an airplane to send Jiang Chen and his companions away.
...
Zhongzhou Province Zhengzhou Airport.
Rumble rumble rumble...
A roar approached from afar as a plane from Dingjing slowly landed.
The cabin door opened, and the passengers disembarked in an orderly fashion.
"Mr. Jiang, I’m, I’m a bit nervous!" As soon as she disembarked from the plane, Song Wanqiu looked at Jiang Chen with so trepidation.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, it’s going to be okay."
After returning from Spa Training Camp, Jiang Chen took a trip through Jincheng, Dingjing, and Jinhai three cities, personally arranging the defense and reconnaissance work in those three cities.
Then, he took Yan Hu, Spirit You, Qingyuan Ying Zi, Song Wanqiu, Wang Zongming, Leng Ming, and Li Tian Chong seven people and rushed to Zheng City.
Upon returning to Dingjing, Jiang Chen and others had discussed, feeling it inappropriate to break through the marriage arrangent right after the Grand Elder Yue’s birthday celebration.
If, during the birthday feast, the Yue Family were to speak of the marriage between Yue Zhen Feng and Song Wanqiu to the guests, causing it to be known far and wide, and then to call off the engagent afterward, it would cause the Yue Family to lose face!
"Mr. Jiang."
As soon as they walked out of the arrival gate, a shouting voice arose, and everyone looked up.
Four sleek rcedes were parked side by side on the airport’s curb, each with a man in black formalwear standing beside it. In front of these n, Yue Zhenfeng, dressed in formal attire, called out upon seeing Jiang Chen and his group, then stepped forward towards them.
"The ones waiting for an arranged break-off are here to pick us up!"
Jiang Chen joked, flashing a light-hearted smile at Song Wanqiu before striding towards Yue Zhenfeng.
Everyone let out a small laugh and followed suit.
"Mr. Jiang, Young Master Leng Ming, Elder Li, Song..."
After exchanging greetings, Yue Zhenfeng said with a smile, "You suddenly changed your plans; it almost caught off guard! But indeed, it’s not very appropriate to break off an engagent right after the longevity feast. Mr. Jiang is far more thoughtful than I am. I hadn’t even considered that."
Jiang Chen replied with a light smile, "Alright, no more flattery. I’m glad I thought of it before it was too late. Let’s go and take a look at the Yue Family legacy that has been passed down for a thousand years. I truly admire your ancestors!"
"Ha-ha, alright, let’s get in the car and talk!" Yue Zhenfeng laughed heartily, turning around to lead Jiang Chen and the others towards the vehicles.
Once everyone was in the cars, they set off toward the outskirts of Zheng City.
The western suburbs of Zheng City boasted a bamboo forest, which backed onto an imposing mountain. Within the forest lay over a dozen bamboo lofts, in front of which was a small plaza nearly a hundred ters across. A stone path, paved with bluestones, led out of the forest.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
"Make sure your movents are accurate, your punches stable, and your strikes forceful!"
Shouts echoed across the plaza, where a group of teens was practicing martial techniques under the supervision of a middle-aged man. At the edge of the plaza, several middle-aged won watched the young trainees with beaming smiles.
On the fringes of the bamboo forest, two youths stood at the path’s entry, vigilantly surveying the area. A sign in front of them read "Private Area, No Trespassing."
Vroom... Screech!
The sound of engines roaring preceded the arrival of the four rcedes, which stopped on the open patch outside the bamboo forest.
Click! Click!
The car doors opened, and Jiang Chen and others alighted.
"Brother Zhen Feng!"
"Brother Zhen Feng is back!"
The two n at the edge of the bamboo forest greeted Yue Zhenfeng with light laughter as they saw him get out of the car.
"Yue Tingqiang, Yue Tingheng, we have guests at ho. Inform my father and the others, and have them welco us at the plaza," Yue Zhenfeng yelled.
"Yes!" Yue Tingqiang answered, running into the bamboo forest.
Yue Tingheng glanced at Jiang Chen and the others, asking in a low voice with curiosity, "Brother Zhenfeng, who are these people? Even the Family Head has to personally welco them to the plaza?"
"We’ll talk about it later!"
Yue Zhenfeng didn’t explain, simply responding before turning to look at Jiang Chen and the group, "Mr. Jiang, we can’t drive into the bamboo forest, so we’ll have to walk from here."
"No problem."
Jiang Chen chuckled, shook his head, glanced at the private property sign at the entrance of the pathway, and looked toward the vast expanse of the bamboo forest in surprise, "Zhenfeng, this whole forest is your family’s property?"
"Yes, both this bamboo forest and the two nearest mountains behind it are part of our family’s estate," Yue Zhenfeng said with a smile.
"Damn, Zhenfeng, your family’s domain is even bigger than ours!" Leng Ming said in astonishnt.
Yue Zhenfeng smiled faintly, "How long has your family been in hiding? We’ve been secluded here for centuries before your family even rose to prominence!"
"Back in the day, our ancestor should have sought out your family to join our court as generals," said Leng Ming, jokingly.
Ever since joining Jiang Chen, Leng Ming gradually dropped the pretense and began to reveal his true nature.
