In Wu Sanlu's villa.
After a thorough examination, Wu Sanlu only had so soft tissue bruises, nothing serious.
With so ointnt applied, Wu Sanlu walked out and saw Yang Chen sitting on the sofa drinking tea, with Jianfeng and the others beside him.
He walked over and was about to kneel to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen reached out to stop him, "No need!"
Wu Sanlu awkwardly stood up and bowed to Yang Chen, "Master!"
"Not that either!" Yang Chen casually waved his hand.
Wu Sanlu's face turned pale, looking nervously at Yang Chen, fearing that Yang Chen would not accept him.
But Yang Chen's next words fully reassured Wu Sanlu.
"Call sir from now on," Yang Chen said flatly.
"Yes!" Wu Sanlu was overjoyed.
Because now, he could only survive by following Yang Chen. Without a backer, he would instantly suffer a tragic fate.
For now, Wu Sanlu felt he had bet right!
With Yang Chen's strength, even if he didn't topple the Wu family, he could still establish his own power, ensuring a much better future for father and son.
"Sit!" Seeing Wu Sanlu standing nervously at the side, Yang Chen gestured for him to sit down.
Upon hearing this, Wu Sanlu cautiously sat nearby.
"Speak!" Yang Chen said.
Although this was Wu Sanlu's ho, it seed Yang Chen was the true master here at the mont.
Wu Sanlu took a deep breath and slowly said, "I had foreseen this, and knew they would co after us. But I didn't expect their actions to be so fast and forceful!"
Yang Chen listened quietly.
"They demanded I reveal your identity and backing, declaring they would wipe you all out!"
Yang Chen sneered, looking at Wu Sanlu and asked, "Who do you think my backing is?"
Wu Sanlu thought for a while, then hesitantly probed, "Is it... Yang... the Left Envoy?"
"Heh!" Yang Chen chuckled lightly, continuing to sip his tea.
Seeing this, Wu Sanlu knew that wasn't the case.
After pondering for a mont, he asked, "Could it be the Longyu Group?"
Yang Chen shook his head again.
"Then I don't know," Wu Sanlu placed his hands on his knees and said.
Yang Chen stared at Wu Sanlu and asked, "If I tell you, I have no backing, would you believe ?"
"I believe!" Wu Sanlu said firmly, "I believe you!"
Even if Yang Chen had no backing, his strength alone was sufficient.
"If you don't have backing, I am willing to do everything in my power to create a force for you!" Wu Sanlu said earnestly.
Yang Chen looked at Wu Sanlu and nodded slightly, as he saw loyalty in Wu Sanlu's eyes rather than flattery.
Putting down his teacup, Yang Chen said to Wu Sanlu, "I have no significant backing, nor do I need to use another force. Dealing with the Wu family alone is enough. Now, you only have two tasks."
Wu Sanlu looked attentively at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen extended his fingers and said, "First, ensure your own safety. Second, cooperate with the Longyu Group and prepare to take over the Wu family!"
"What!" Wu Sanlu shuddered with excitent, looking at Yang Chen in surprise.
From Yang Chen's expression, Wu Sanlu could tell he wasn't joking.
"I, I understand!" Wu Sanlu took a deep breath, trying not to tremble, but was so excited that he couldn't help but shake.
At this mont, Jianfeng received a phone call.
After a while, he returned and said to Yang Chen, "President Wei just called to say Zhou Tang and their team of leaders are arriving for an inspection this afternoon, and they requested your presence."
Upon hearing this, Wu Sanlu raised his head and looked at Yang Chen in surprise.
Though several families in Ancheng did not take orders from the local agencies, in crucial monts, they still needed the leaders' signatures and approvals. For instance, purchasing so lands, establishing so factories, and tax issues…
Therefore, Zhou Tang's position remains extrely important.
But Yang Chen waved his hand and said, "No need, let her host them herself. The main thing is to get so favors from them since we bring so much investnt."
"Yes!" Jianfeng imdiately turned around to return the call.
Wu Sanlu was secretly surprised, he never expected even Zhou Tang to show such respect towards Yang Chen.
Perhaps Yang Chen truly had no backing, but Wu Sanlu felt Yang Chen's identity would not be that simple, maybe what he saw now was rely the tip of the iceberg!
...
At the Wu family.
Wu Zhong was carried back on a stretcher.
People who saw this scene were terrified, they never expected the Second Elder to be injured!
For a mont, the entire clan fell into a panic, as if the end of the world had co.
Because the Second Elder represented almost the top combat strength of the family, even the Second Elder was injured, how strong was the enemy?
They dared not imagine it.
Wu Zhong was carried into the main hall, where the Clan Leader and other Elders were present.
Seeing Wu Zhong in such condition, each face was extrely unpleasant.
"Wu Zhong, who did this?"
"Second, was it the Bai family? I'll deal with them now!"
"Who dares to harm our Wu family people, are they seeking death!"
"This is outrageous! It's an insult to our Wu family! Absolutely intolerable!"
Clan Leader Wu Haodong's face was sullen, and he angrily shouted, "Quiet!"
Everyone turned to Wu Haodong.
Wu Haodong said in a deep voice, "Listen to what the Second Elder has to say!"
The Second Elder coughed, holding his chest, and said deeply, "Clan Leader! Fellow elders, the person who injured is Yang Chen!"
"What!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Impossible!"
"Just a youngster, how is it possible?"
"So young, how could he be your opponent?"
"This is too absurd!"
"Unbelievable."
Wu Zhong looked at everyone and said coldly, "Do you think I'd falsely accuse soone to enhance others' prestige?"
The crowd fell silent.
Everyone felt sothing was off; initially, they thought Yang Chen, in his twenties, couldn't possibly possess such powerful strength.
And Wu Zhong couldn't have been hard specifically to fra Yang Chen.
"What exactly happened?" Wu Haodong asked.
Wu Zhong replied, "It's indeed Yang Chen! We underestimated him! He must have already reached the Grandmaster Realm!"
"What!" The crowd couldn't help but gasp.
"A Grandmaster!!!"
These two words seed to have magical power, casting a shadow of fear on everyone's face.
Likewise, the term 'Grandmaster' held significant aning in the martial arts world.
A Grandmaster, a dragon among n!
"Are you sure?" Wu Haodong clenched his fists and asked.
Wu Zhong nodded, saying deeply, "Without a doubt, I am already in the late Martial Arts Realm, close to entering the Grandmaster stage. Yet, I couldn't withstand a single move from Yang Chen. As the saying goes, once one becos a Grandmaster, the difference is like heaven and earth. Under a Grandmaster, all are ants. Against him, I was like a carp against a swimming dragon, without any chance of victory!"
