"What!"
Hu Bocang's expression instantly turned serious, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
After staring at Ye Cangtian for a long time, he was convinced that the other party was referring to Chang Xu's collusion with him!
The matter had been exposed!
The Hu family was just a small family, how could it compare to the Hidden Group?
Let alone the Hidden Group seeking revenge, even if Jian Wusheng made a move, the Hu family wouldn't be able to withstand it!
"Mr. Ye, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"When did I cross the bridge and then tear it down? And how did I scheme against you?"
Hu Bocang gritted his teeth and asked.
Anyway, Chang Xu and the others were likely gone forever, with no witnesses to prove otherwise. As long as he denied it, who could do anything to him!
"Heh heh, do you think I'm here to reason with you?"
Seeing Hu Bocang put on a rascally front, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly.
Clang!
The dragon's roar echoed, and the massive Dragon Soul Blade was instantly plunged into the ground.
"Brother Hu, you designed to frame us, and you still refuse to admit it. Then I can only have my great saber have a word with you," Ye Cangtian said indifferently.
This...
At his words, Hu Bocang's face turned instantly pale, and his body began to tremble.
The so-called experts at the table lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact.
These were people from the Hidden Group. Setting aside whether they could win, who could withstand the retaliation of the Hidden Group alone?
"Ye Cangtian, what do you mean by that!"
"Are you trying to beat me into a confession? I will never admit to something I didn't do, even if I die!"
"If you have the ability, just do it. I'd like to see if there's any justice left in this world!"
Hu Bocang gritted his teeth, forcing himself to remain calm.
He didn't believe that after being so gravely accused, Ye Cangtian would still dare to make a move!
After all, his life was truly insignificant compared to the reputation of the Hidden Group.
"Mr. Ye, have you made a mistake?"
"Hu Bocang invited you, how could he possibly harm you?"
"Why don't you sit down and have a drink, and we can discuss it carefully. Perhaps we can help you analyze it..."
As expected, the so-called experts at the table, bracing themselves, spoke one after another.
If a fight broke out between the two sides, it wouldn't be good for them either. Resolving the conflict was the fundamental solution.
"Senior?"
Ye Cangtian's gaze swept towards Jian Wusheng.
He was helpless against the other party's shamelessness. Who knew that Jian Wusheng had already dealt with the last Chang Xu, and now there were no witnesses to prove anything!
However, he was not one to suffer in silence. Before resorting to force, he wanted to hear Jian Wusheng's opinion.
After all, the accusation was quite serious, and he couldn't easily ruin the reputation of the Hidden Group!
One must know that it had been accumulated through the lives of countless people!
"Forget it."
Jian Wusheng slowly shook his head, his gaze chilling as he looked at Hu Bocang and said, "What goes around comes around. Take care of yourself!"
With that, Jian Wusheng turned and left, clearly not wanting to damage the reputation of the Hidden Group.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian frowned slightly, but still followed him out.
Phew! That scared me to death!
Watching the two of them leave, Hu Bocang continuously patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
Immediately, a triumphant smile appeared on his face, and he murmured to himself, "Is this the Hidden Group? If you don't have evidence, don't frame good people next time! Hahaha!"
Jian Wusheng's footsteps stopped!
Ye Cangtian also stopped, turned his head, and a killing intent surged uncontrollably in his heart.
"You want evidence?"
Ye Cangtian looked at Jian Wusheng and suddenly smiled, "Senior, it's getting late. How about resting in Tingfeng City tonight?"
"Alright!"
Jian Wusheng exchanged a glance with Ye Cangtian. He had already guessed Ye Cangtian's intention but didn't expose it.
He would never allow anyone to threaten the Hidden Group.
He would certainly not tolerate anyone who acted against the Hidden Group to remain alive in this world!
What's more, the other party's attitude was so egregious!
...
Night.
The lights in most of the families had been extinguished, with only a small number of lights shining, including the Hu family.
The incident today had caused quite a stir. Upon returning at night, Old Master Hu immediately called Hu Bocang into his room to question him.
"Bocang, tell me the truth, did you set an ambush for the Hidden Group people?"
This matter was of great importance, and Old Master Hu had to be vigilant. Otherwise, the Hu family would surely face utter destruction.
"Father, don't joke. How would I have the guts!"
In front of Old Master Hu, Hu Bocang still refused to admit it. He knew the gravity of the matter. If he confessed, Old Master Hu might hand him over to appease the situation!
"That's good."
Hearing this, Old Master Hu breathed a sigh of relief.
Since he hadn't done anything, even if the Hidden Group wanted to frame him, he wouldn't easily accept it.
With that thought, Old Master Hu said, "Bocang, you need to be more steady in your actions. Today's matter could have been resolved through discussion. Offending the Hidden Group is not a good thing!"
Hidden Group?
What were they?
While outwardly nodding and appearing to have learned his lesson, Hu Bocang was contemptuous in his heart.
What could the Hidden Group do?
It was true that they were powerful, but they still couldn't do anything to him, could they?
After a brief chat, Hu Bocang left Old Master Xu's side and returned to his own room.
As soon as he entered.
Hu Bocang saw a figure sitting in his room, constantly puffing smoke, appearing exceptionally leisurely.
"This..."
Hu Bocang's cold sweat broke out, and he became extremely nervous.
The person was none other than Ye Cangtian, whom he had angered and driven away earlier that day.
Although Jian Wusheng was not present, he knew that Ye Cangtian was not to be trifled with!
He had also expected the other party to retaliate in secret.
Therefore, he had set up many more sentries in the Hu family than usual, several times more. Yet, despite this, the other party had still entered his room as silently as possible.
"Ye Cangtian, what exactly do you want!"
Hu Bocang said darkly, his voice kept very low.
He knew that if he spoke loudly and attracted the attention of others, it would be equivalent to forcing the other party to act.
"Heh heh, don't be like that. I'm not used to you talking like this."
"You should show the same spirit you had during the day. Don't worry, no one will hear you. The 27 people around are already asleep!"
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said mockingly.
Twenty-seven...
Hu Bocang's face turned even paler. The sentries and patrols tonight numbered exactly twenty-seven people.
This meant that even if he shouted for help and people heard him, they wouldn't be able to reach him immediately.
This was equivalent to his life falling into Ye Cangtian's hands.
With that thought, Hu Bocang swallowed and said, "Ye Cangtian, I made things clear during the day. Why are you still holding onto it? What do you want?"
"Heh heh, that depends on your performance."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, crossed his legs, and then said, "Come on, tell me, why did you target us?"
"This..."
Hu Bocang hesitated. Did he have the courage to attack the Hidden Group?
Moreover, there was a Heavenly-level expert among them.
But if he didn't reveal the mastermind behind it, it would be difficult to maintain his lie. If Ye Cangtian saw through it, he might not be able to escape death today.
"It wasn't me who wanted to deal with you, it was Shuang Chi. To be precise, he was the one targeting you..."
With no other choice, Hu Bocang confessed everything.
