1308: Chapter 1309: There are many assassins tonight!
“No problem at all!
Mom will go prepare it right away.”
Shang Qingcheng wiped away tears, glanced at Lin Yue and said, “Yue, let Xiao Bao play here, help out!”
“Okay!”
Lin Yue nodded and followed Shang Qingcheng into the kitchen.
Xiao Bao naturally had the house’s servants looking after him.
Xiao Chen and Xiao Enze sat in the courtyard, enjoying the pleasant sun, sipping tea, and striking up a conversation.
“There’s no such thing as a good banquet, are you sure you want to go?”
It turned out that Xiao Enze had also received an invitation, and he was well aware that tonight’s banquet at the Lin Family might have ulterior motives.
“Go, of course we’ll go!”
Xiao Chen nodded: “They just want to find out who’s behind , and they won’t get an answer.”
“That’s true, you are your own biggest support.”
Xiao Enze smiled and said, “Co on, let’s have tea!”
The evening banquet was indeed crowded.
Representatives from seven of the top ten Aristocratic Clans had arrived.
The Di Family brought Di Tian’ao and Di Tianjiao, the Jun Family brought Jun Moyao, the Ye Family’s Ye Jianguo, Ye Fei, and Ye nghua, Lin Family’s Lin Xuehai and Lin Ze also ca, the Yue Family Head arrived too, the Huang Family’s Huang En was present, alongside Huang Tu and Huang Yu, and the Zhan Family brought Zhan ng!
All seven Aristocratic Clans had sent representatives.
It’s just that so had more attendees than others, but all showed significant face.
Of course, in addition to them, there were many other Capital City major families and company leaders.
For example, Bai Duo’er from the Bai Group, and Xiao Chen representing Xinng Group and the Xiao Family.
Accompanying Bai Duo’er was Jun Mo Xie.
“Capital City, I’m back again!”
Jun Mo Xie was filled with emotion.
Back then, he was expelled from the Jun Family and forced to marry into a minor family.
Now, he had returned with formidable strength, and behind him stood the Jiangnan Xiao Family and Xinng Group.
It’s just unfortunate that his wife had left him.
Although their relationship was not bad, there was one hurdle in his wife’s heart she could not get over.
And that was the ruin of her Family Clan.
His wife always felt it was her fault, so she chose to divorce Jun Mo Xie.
Until today, Jun Mo Xie still had people secretly protecting his wife; he wasn’t the heartless type, although there wasn’t real affection between him and his wife.
Nevertheless, she had been good to him.
Even if they could not continue as husband and wife, he wanted to ensure she lived well.
The banquet was held at the Lin Family residence.
Lin Xuehai assigned Lin Ze the task of organizing the venue and security.
The reason for holding it at ho rather than a hotel was precisely because it was safer.
“Rember, you must ensure foolproof security tonight, not even a mosquito should be able to get in.
If sothing goes wrong, it will be on your heads!”
Having previously bungled a task, Lin Ze wanted to redeem himself.
If sothing went wrong at a banquet in his own house, he would lose even more face.
The banquet was held in part to probe the intentions of the major families.
On the other hand, after the demise of the Shangguan Family, Zhou Family, and Bai Family, their territories should be redistributed, so it made sense for the remaining seven Aristocratic Clans to co together and discuss.
Therefore, those who ca were decision-makers.
Inviting Xiao Chen and Xiao Enze had another purpose, but it was only secondary.
“Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, who exactly is backing you up?
Tonight, we’ll see the truth, unless they can stand by and watch you die right before their eyes without doing anything!”
Powerful enemies aren’t to be feared.
What’s fearso is a strong enemy whose depths are unknown.
It’s pretty much confird now the relationship between Xiao Enze and Xiao Chen, but even if the two are father and son, it’s not a big deal.
A Xiao Family that has fallen into extre decline and a young upstart, really, they’re not much of anything.
Even though Xiao Chen has taken down the Shangguan Family and Zhou Family, and even handled the Pan Family Garden and Bai Family.
Yet many still don’t take him seriously.
Or rather, they don’t believe he’s behind those deeds, thinking soone else did it and then let him take the credit for it.
Take the Ye Family for example!
Or so other existence.
Tonight, we will know who it is.
The guests gradually all arrived.
Only Xiao Chen was still nowhere to be seen.
Most of the people present guessed that tonight’s banquet was very disadvantageous for Xiao Chen.
Moreover, the news that soone wanted to assassinate Xiao Chen had been leaked quite early.
“If it were , I wouldn’t have co either!”
“That’s right, if one could see that one’s life might be lost at tonight’s banquet, one naturally wouldn’t co!”
The words had just reached this point.
Xiao Chen walked in from outside alone, imdiately drawing the attention of everyone present.
“Although I’m sowhat handso, there’s no need to stare at like this, right?”
Xiao Chen t the gazes of those around him head-on, and then pointed to Xiao Enze beside him, saying: “I had a few more drinks with my father, so I took a nap.
My apologies, my apologies!”
“Father?”
Xiao Chen’s unexpected move stunned many people.
“Xiao Enze is your father?”
Lin Ze asked in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen admitted it himself.
“Indeed, I suppose many people present already know, so I won’t hide it anymore.
I am the forr Young Master of the Xiao Family in Linhai, and now the Family Head of the Xiao Family in Jiangnan.
Let be clear, the goal of the Xiao Family in Jiangnan is very explicit: it is to seek revenge.
The families that struck against the Xiao Family in Linhai had better be careful.
I won’t let anyone off.
I’ve destroyed the Shangguan Noble Clans!
I’ve destroyed the Zhou Family!
I’ve also wrecked the Pan Family Garden!
The Bai Family has now beco a vassal family to my Xiao Family.
So, who’s next in line?”
Xiao Chen looked at the people sitting around him with a malicious grin: “Hehe, of course, those who have never targeted the Xiao Family in Linhai, we naturally won’t target them either.
So, you need not worry about the rise of the Xiao Family in Jiangnan!”
With his arrival, Xiao Chen clarified his intentions, making many guests uncomfortable.
“My dear nephew must be joking.”
Lin Xuehai said with a smile: “Matters of gratitude and grudges can be settled after the banquet ends, and today is rely to enhance everyone’s relations.”
“Is it so?”
Xiao Chen looked at Lin Xuehai: “But how co I’ve heard that soone wants to kill during this banquet?”
“Rumors, surely they are rumors!”
Lin Xuehai smiled and said.
“Rumors, you say?
But I’ve also heard another rumor here.
Would Patriarch Lin like to hear it?”
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
“What rumor?”
Lin Xuehai was montarily stunned.
“Tonight, not only does soone want to assassinate , but there are also those who want to use this opportunity to assassinate all the mbers of the seven Aristocratic Clans attending the banquet.”
Xiao Chen laughed, a laugh filled with significance.
“Patriarch Lin, if such a thing really happens, I’m afraid the Lin Family won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
“Since my nephew has already said they’re rumors, it’s impossible.
For today’s banquet, our Lin Family has specially held it at our residence precisely to ensure everyone’s safety.”
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Lin Xuehai’s forehead.
He always felt that there was a hidden aning in Xiao Chen’s words.
Although the security of his Lin Family really had no issues, it could only defend against common assassins.
If soone more formidable ca, it would indeed be troubleso.
Just as he uttered these words, suddenly, a cold glint flashed before his eyes.
