As Bai Zhenwei was in shock and panic, Xiao Yunlong walked towards him step by step, a sneer curling the corners of his lips. "I never imagined we'd meet again so soon."
Bai Zhenwei's widened pupils still held a look of terror. He blurted out, "How can it be you? How could it be you!"
The surrounding crowd was utterly confused by this scene, wondering what was wrong with Bai Zhenwei, why he looked as if he'd seen a cat when he saw Xiao Yunlong.
"Why can't it be me?" Xiao Yunlong sneered. "Your son said he wanted to kill me? What do you think, Director Bai?"
Before Bai Zhenwei could reply, Bai Junfeng stumbled over quickly and said, "Dad, what's wrong? We have so many people here, and everyone has a weapon. Are we afraid of this kid surnamed Xiao? Just order them to act and blast this dog to hell!"
"Shut up!" Bai Zhenwei suddenly glared at Bai Junfeng and roared. If it weren't for his inconvenient legs, he would have slapped this troublesome brat to death.
He had indeed brought quite a few people this time, over twenty of them, and each one was armed. But Bai Zhenwei knew that his men were no match for Xiao Yunlong. Forget blasting him to hell, they probably couldn't even touch a single hair on his head.
At this moment, Bai Zhenwei was filled with regret. If he had a choice, he would never have come.
"Mr. Xiao, I don't know what grudges you have with my son Junfeng, but please, for my sake, be merciful. I'll take him and leave now. What do you think?"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhenwei spoke, his tone bordering on pleading.
Jun Zhengqing, watching from not far away, was stunned. He wondered what on earth was going on. Bai Zhenwei was the Director of the City Defense Department, so why was he so terrified of the kid surnamed Xiao?
What was Xiao Yunlong's background?
At this moment, everyone present shared the same confusion.
Of course, for the fat Buddha, alongside his confusion, there was also a surge of pleasant surprise and relief. He was glad he hadn't compromised with the Jun family earlier, otherwise, he would have completely lost the great support of Xiao Yunlong.
"I don't think it's good. Give you face? Who do you think you are? This noon at the Liu family, I said that if you dare to do this again, I will kill you!"
After speaking, Xiao Yunlong reached out, grabbed Bai Zhenwei by the neck, and lifted him from his wheelchair.
Bai Zhenwei's face was filled with terror, and he roared, "You surnamed Xiao, I warn you, I am the Director of the City Defense Department! Do you really dare to kill me? If you kill me..."
But before he could finish, Xiao Yunlong's fingers tightened on his neck and exerted force.
With a crisp cracking sound, Bai Zhenwei's Adam's apple snapped. His eyes remained wide open, seemingly unable to believe that Xiao Yunlong would kill him even in death.
As Bai Zhenwei's body hit the ground, the scene erupted into a commotion.
"You... you actually killed my father! You have such guts! You're dead! You are absolutely dead this time!"
Bai Junfeng's face was filled with terror, and his body trembled. Yet, he still managed to utter threats.
Xiao Yunlong let out a cold laugh. "I don't know if I'll die, but I know for sure that you will die today!"
With that, Xiao Yunlong lunged forward and appeared before him.
However, before he could make a move, Bai Junfeng collapsed onto the ground, utterly terrified, and even wet himself, his face a mask of fear.
Although Bai Zhenwei had brought many private soldiers this time, over a dozen of them had witnessed Xiao Yunlong's terrifying strength at the Liu family earlier that noon. They dared not act rashly now.
"Don't... don't kill me, please don't kill me! I have money, a lot of money! As long as you don't kill me..."
"Now you finally know to beg for mercy? Too late!"
Xiao Yunlong snorted coldly and kicked out, ending Bai Junfeng's life.
At this moment, Jun Zifang, Jun Feifan, and even Jun Zhengqing were all ashen-faced with fear. They could never have imagined that this fellow surnamed Xiao would actually dare to kill people, and that he would kill Bai Zhenwei, the Director of the City Defense Department, so readily.
In the eyes of the three Jun family members, Xiao Yunlong was undoubtedly a devil. However, even though their hearts were filled with grief and rage, they dared not speak out, fearing that they might anger this devil who killed without blinking.
Xiao Yunlong truly hadn't blinked even once. As the former King of Zhenbei of the Dragon Country, who had single-handedly defended the northern border for eight years and fought dozens of battles, the enemies he had killed were countless.
The Bai Zhenwei father and son before him were no different from ants in his eyes. Moreover, according to the laws of the Dragon Country, anyone who dared to conspire to murder a King was considered treason, giving Xiao Yunlong the absolute right to decide their fate.
Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent. Not only were the Jun family members shocked and terrified, but even Buddha was extremely shaken. He never imagined that Mr. Xiao would dare to kill Bai Zhenwei, the Director of the City Defense Department.
"It seems I've underestimated Mr. Xiao's background and identity. Judging by the look in his eyes when he killed them, he had no reservations whatsoever, not even deigning to look at them. His identity must truly be extraordinary!" Buddha mused inwardly.
After dealing with Bai Junfeng, Xiao Yunlong clapped his hands and then slowly walked towards Jun Zifang.
Jun Zifang trembled all over with fear and instinctively retreated. However, with her legs broken, she couldn't move and could only cry out in horror, "You surnamed Xiao, what do you want? You've already killed the Bai Zhenwei father and son, what else do you want? Are you really going to kill us all!"
Jun Zhengqing also gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "Xiao Yunlong, don't blame me for not warning you. My Jun family is not like the Bai family. Our Great Elder of the Jun family is the martial arts instructor of the Jiangdong Martial Alliance!"
Xiao Yunlong smiled, but it was a cold smile. "Don't be so nervous. Those were just two appetizers. You're all so scared. The main course hasn't even officially begun. You can go now, get out!"
Upon hearing this, Jun Zifang breathed a sigh of relief. Without further ado, she waved her hand, signaling her subordinates to carry her out. Jun Feifan even scurried away faster than her.
As for Jun Zhengqing, he seemed unhurried, a slight smirk on his lips revealing a hint of arrogance. He believed that Xiao Yunlong was letting them go because he feared the Jun family's influence.
As he reached the doorway, Jun Zhengqing couldn't resist issuing a parting threat, "You surnamed Xiao, I knew you wouldn't dare to kill us. You're being sensible. However, tonight's events, and the deaths of Bai Zhenwei and Bai Junfeng, cannot be let go just like that. You just wait!"
Xiao Yunlong raised the corners of his lips in a playful manner. "Dare not kill you? It seems you've misunderstood. The reason I'm not killing you now is just to let you go back and prepare your funeral arrangements. Oh, and remember to invite your Jun family's Great Elder from the Jiangdong Martial Alliance back. Next, I'll show you that your Jun family's strongest reliance is a joke in front of me!"
"You so-called ancient aristocratic family descendants of Sicheng, each one arrogant, overbearing, and reckless. Tonight, I will definitely crush your so-called superiority and trample it underfoot!"
"You..." Jun Zhengqing's face turned ashen with anger, but he dared not speak, fearing he might provoke this devil.
Xiao Yunlong turned his head to look at Buddha beside him and instructed, "Fat Buddha, prepare five coffins immediately and send them to the Jun family."
"Mr. Xiao, this might not be..." Buddha looked troubled.
"What, do I need to repeat myself?" Xiao Yunlong said coldly.
"Yes, Mr. Xiao, I'll send people to deliver them right away!" Buddha nodded heavily, thinking to himself that he would pack his bags and leave immediately if anything went wrong with the Jun family, especially if Mr. Xiao was defeated.
After all, sending coffins to the Jun family, even under orders, would not spare him from their wrath!
Outside the door, Jun Zhengqing and Jun Zifang's faces contorted with anger. They gritted their teeth and said, "You surnamed Xiao, if you dare to do this, it will be a serious provocation to my Jun family. It will be a life-and-death feud between you and my Jun family. You'd better think carefully!"
Xiao Yunlong said indifferently, "You have two hours to prepare your funeral arrangements. It's still not too late to call your so-called Great Elder now. Two hours later, I will personally visit!"
"Fine, you surnamed Xiao! If you dare to come, my Jun family will ensure you never return. Don't believe me, just try!" Jun Zhengqing and the other two said sternly, then drove away.
"Mr. Xiao, are you really going to send coffins to the Jun family?" Buddha still felt a bit uneasy.
Xiao Yunlong didn't bother to waste more words, merely raising his eyebrows and glancing at him.
Seeing this, Buddha quickly said, "Understood, Mr. Xiao. I'll have people do it immediately!"
"Also, have someone clean this place up. Oh, and call Liang Youming and tell him to come and handle it, say it's my order." Xiao Yunlong finished speaking and turned to go upstairs.
Buddha naturally dared not disobey. While personally making the call, he also dispatched people to prepare five coffins and send them to the Jun family overnight.
In the bedroom upstairs, Liu Ruyan had fully recovered after a short rest, her mind completely stable.
Watching the cars leave one by one, Liu Ruyan asked, "Yunlong, is everything resolved?"
Xiao Yunlong nodded. "Let's go, we're going home."
The two then went downstairs and drove away under the reverent gazes of Buddha and his subordinates.
However, on the road, Liu Ruyan, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly said, "Yunlong, I have a request. Can you grant it?"
"Tell me," Xiao Yunlong said with a smile.
"I want to learn martial arts!" Liu Ruyan said, turning her head and looking at him intently.
"You want to learn martial arts?" Xiao Yunlong was taken aback, completely surprised by her sudden thought.
"Yes, I want to learn martial arts!" Liu Ruyan stated decisively.
Xiao Yunlong nodded and said, "Alright, I'll teach you starting tomorrow."
Liu Ruyan asked, "Aren't you going to ask me why I suddenly want to learn martial arts?"
Xiao Yunlong smiled. "Why ask? If my woman wants to learn, I'll teach her. There's no need for a reason."
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but smile, a sweet and warm smile.
"Thank you, Yunlong. I will definitely study hard and strive to become strong as soon as possible, at least to be able to stand on my own and not be a burden to you anymore," Liu Ruyan said.
Xiao Yunlong nodded and remained silent. In fact, he knew why Liu Ruyan wanted to learn martial arts. After all, there had been continuous incidents recently, and she was powerless to do anything.
Of course, Liu Ruyan's desire to learn martial arts and become stronger was definitely a good thing, and Xiao Yunlong was deeply pleased by it. He just didn't know what her martial arts talent was like.
It was already late at night when they returned to the Liu family manor. Liu Hongguo had already gone to bed, and the entire manor was quiet.
Although she had attended the dinner, Liu Ruyan had only drunk a cup of water before falling unconscious. Now, she was starving.
Xiao Yunlong specially made noodles for her. After Liu Ruyan finished eating, seeing that it was getting late, he said, "Ruyan, get some rest early. I need to go take care of something."
"Are you going to the Jun family?" Liu Ruyan suddenly asked, then added, "Be careful. I'll wait for you at home!"
"Waiting is fine, but you can't sleep on the sofa anymore. It's still a bit cold at night. Don't catch a cold!"
Xiao Yunlong instructed, then walked towards the garage, drove out of the courtyard, and headed straight for the Jun family.
