1307: Chapter 1308: No Banquet is a Good Banquet 1307: Chapter 1308: No Banquet is a Good Banquet “Speak!”
Xiao Chen said while eating fruits.
Zhan ng lowered his voice and said, “We have received reliable information that recently, soone is planning to make a move against Mr.
Xiao!”
“Assassinate ?”
Xiao Chen asked.
“Exactly.
Ever since Mr.
Xiao arrived in the Capital City, many people have been watching you.
After all, the Bai Group is a sought-after prize, not to ntion Pan Family Garden.
There are quite a few who want to snatch them from your hands.”
Zhan ng answered.
“If you ca here today just to tell this, then I thank you, but there’s really no need.
Those who want to kill have never been in short supply.
Starting from Linhai, all the way here, there have been many who wanted dead.”
Xiao Chen said indifferently.
“Mr.
Xiao, you must not be careless.
The caliber of the people who want to kill you this ti is by no ans the sa as before.
You should understand this better than I do.”
Zhan ng reminded.
“Including your Zhan Family?”
Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
What?
Zhan ng was stunned for a mont, then shook his head and said, “My Zhan Family honors martial prowess above all.
Apart from the international security firm, we only run martial arts schools.
We do not engage in other kinds of business.
So the Bai Group doesn’t attract us.”
“What about Pan Family Garden?
Not attractive either?”
Xiao Chen said with a faint smile, “As far as I know, the Zhan Family oversees several Jianghu sects, it’s just a sha that not one is among the top eight.
The Pan Family Garden must be of great attraction to you, right?”
“Mr.
Xiao, we indeed had thoughts about Pan Family Garden, but now it’s nothing but a ss, aningless to our Zhan Family and therefore, has lost any interest for us.”
Zhan ng explained.
Zhan ng, he isn’t as reckless as he appears.
Zhan ng, endowed with a sturdy, intimidating physique, would lead most people to believe he was a simple-minded, physically strong individual.
But those who truly understand Zhan ng would know that his robustness is rely a facade; his intelligence is actually the most fearso aspect.
In the Capital City, there is talk of the “Four Beauties and Four Young Masters.”
The Capital City’s Four Beauties refer to Emperor Tianjiao, Ye nghua, Bai Duo’er, and Shang Feiyue!
These four individuals are unmatched in beauty and talent within the Capital City.
The Four Young Masters of the Capital City also denote four distinguished young individuals and one of them is Zhan ng.
The other three are Di Tian’ao from the Di Family, Jun Moyao from the Jun Family, and Shang Feiyang from the Shang Clan!
Zhan ng’s Zhan Family is ranked just slightly above the Zhou Family and Shangguan Family among the top ten Aristocratic Clans.
Yet he has the stature of one of the Capital City’s Four Young Masters.
Better-ranked Ye Family, Yue Family, Lin Family, Huang Family, and Bai Family do not have this privilege.
This shows how formidable Zhan ng is.
Therefore, he is soone who should never be underestimated.
“Heh, one can only hope!”
Xiao Chen looked at Zhan ng and said, “I’m aware of the matter you’ve spoken of.
Is there anything else?”
“Mr.
Xiao, I know you’re not yet concerned, but I still need to emphasize seriously once more, the Capital City is very dangerous lately!”
Zhan ng said.
“Hmm, I’m aware of it.”
Xiao Chen still maintained a nonchalant expression, as if the so-called danger had nothing to do with him.
“Since that’s the case, I shall take my leave.
If you need any assistance, feel free to ask.
The Zhan Family does not wish to be enemies with the Xiao Family, nor do we want to clash with the Xinng Group.”
After saying this, he turned around and left.
Bai Duo’er accompanied Zhan ng to the door.
Xiao Chen remained seated there.
Before long, Bai Duo’er ca back.
“What do you think?”
Xiao Chen asked.
“The Zhan Family has always stayed out of the struggles between Aristocratic Clans and indeed has no interest in comrce; they pursue the ultimate in Martial Dao.”
Bai Duo’er said, “I think perhaps we could get along well with the Zhan Family.”
“Really?”
Xiao Chen smiled, noncommittal.
Right now, it wasn’t clear what the Zhan Family was plotting, so he couldn’t jump to conclusions.
But in this world, so people seem harmless, yet they can be quite troubleso.
Before ascertaining the true identity of the King of Hades, everyone is worth suspecting.
“By the way, Xiao Chen, about tonight’s banquet, maybe you shouldn’t go.”
Bai Duo’er suggested.
Previously, there was an invitation to a banquet organized by the Lin Family, inviting well-known individuals from the Capital City including Bai Duo’er, the CEO of the Bai Group, as well as the Xiao Family Patriarch Xiao Chen.
Both of them had initially been interested in attending.
But Bai Duo’er was now sowhat worried because of what Zhan ng had said earlier.
Xiao Chen had made quite a few enemies; if soone attempted to assassinate him, it would be troubleso.
“Go?
Why wouldn’t I?”
Xiao Chen laughed, “It’s just right, I’d like to see what the big shots of the Capital City are up to when they gather, and moreover, I’m planning to publicly announce my relationship with the Xiao Family during this banquet.
There’s really no need to hide it anymore.
I wasn’t in the Capital City before and feared that soone might harm my family mbers.
But now that I’m back in the Capital City, it will be discovered sooner or later, so I might as well co clean.
It’s a good opportunity to visit my ho!”
Having to always hide was quite uncomfortable; not being able to reunite with his parents was truly agonizing.
Things will be better now; he has returned to the Capital City, and soon, Xinng Group will establish a branch there.
The chances to be with family mbers will be far more frequent.
“Forget it, I won’t try to persuade you anymore, you always have your own reasoning.”
Bai Duo’er shook her head; she couldn’t always catch up with Xiao Chen’s train of thought.
Sotis she wondered, how did Jiang ng keep up?
In fact, she was wrong; Jiang ng’s trick was to play dumb.
In matters like these, Jiang ng simply didn’t overthink.
Yet in business decisions, Jiang ng’s intelligence was by no ans inferior to Xiao Chen’s.
Naturally, she could keep up.
Ho was still the sa ho.
A beautiful courtyard house that now was even equipped with modern anities.
This courtyard house had once been offered four billion yuan, but Xiao Enze had not sold it.
Because at that ti, Xiao Chen hadn’t returned yet, and Xiao Enze said that they couldn’t make it so that Xiao Chen couldn’t find his way back ho.
Now that Xiao Chen had returned, and with wealth, he was even less likely to sell.
When Lin Yue opened the door and saw Xiao Chen, she revealed a delighted smile and shouted into the house: “Dad, Mom, a distinguished guest is here!”
“Sister-in-law, what distinguished guest?
No matter how distinguished I am, I still have to call you sister-in-law.”
Xiao Chen smiled, picked up Xiao Bao, and followed Lin Yue inside.
Shang Qingcheng had already co out to et them, tears streaming down her face as she saw her son whom she hadn’t seen for a long ti.
“Oh, old lady, look at you.
It’s not easy for our son to co ho, why are you crying?”
“Dad, look at you talking about Mom.
Aren’t your eyes red, too?”
Lin Yue laughed.
“That’s just sand in my eyes,”
Xiao Enze wouldn’t admit he had cried.
“Xiao Chen, you’re going to stay for a long ti this ti, right?”
Lin Yue asked.
“Mhm, I might stay in the Capital City for a very long ti from now on.
I plan to have another wedding with Jiang ng in the Capital City, to give her a wedding of the century!”
Xiao Chen nodded.
“Aren’t you afraid of exposing your identity?”
Xiao Enze voiced his concerns.
“Not afraid!”
Xiao Chen smiled, “Mom, I’m hungry.
I want to eat the sweet and sour fish you make, would you cook it for ?”
