Chapter 970 Adding Fuel to the Fire
"A bunch of bored people."
Chen Xuan shrugged. This battle, in his opinion, was like a child fighting an adult, and he didn't know why so many people were paying attention.
Wang Qiankun said, "I've come to tell you something, which is that the Su family in the capital seems to attach great importance to this matter, believing it concerns the reputation of the Su family in the capital, and they may send people to threaten you."
He knew Chen Xuan's strength was formidable, but he couldn't ascertain the exact extent of it. Thus, after receiving this news, he came to the provincial capital as soon as he emerged from seclusion, prepared to stand up for Chen Xuan.
With him in Jiangnan Province, those fellows from the Su family in the capital probably wouldn't dare to be too arrogant.
"Threaten me?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Wang Qiankun said disdainfully, "Don't you know the true nature of those wealthy and noble families in the capital? They value face more than anything."
Chen Xuan nodded in agreement. "That's true."
"Chen Xuan, you need to be aware that the Su family from the capital might send a Martial Venerable expert this time!"
"Martial Venerable..."
Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed. "The Su family in the capital is really going to great lengths."
In fact, the Su family in the capital had been observing his actions in the provincial capital. They knew that experts at the Grandmaster of Inner Strength level were no longer sufficient, and they could only deploy experts at the Martial Venerable level.
Martial Venerables, within the Su family of the capital, were formidable experts not to be underestimated!
"Therefore, when I go to search for medicinal herbs and am no longer in Jiangnan Province, you must be extremely careful!"
Wang Qiankun cautioned.
Chen Xuan drank a gulp of beer and chuckled, "Just go and find your medicinal herbs. Don't worry about the matters in Jiangnan Province's provincial capital."
Wang Qiankun looked at Chen Xuan's confidence with great surprise.
Did Chen Xuan not even take Martial Venerable level experts seriously?
After finishing their meal, Wang Qiankun and Chen Xuan left together. Wang Qiankun eagerly went to search for medicinal herbs, as he only had a month's time. As for Chen Xuan, he ambled home.
Walking on the road, breathing in the fresh air, Chen Xuan stretched his body involuntarily and sighed, "It's still better outside!"
Su Family Villa, Provincial Capital.
A large group of people, both old and young, a hundred or so in total, walked along the road, their faces grim.
Gu Jiahua, who was leading the group, suddenly stopped. The others also halted.
Everyone followed Gu Jiahua's lead.
Gu Jiahua glanced at the villa's house number and pointed at it, saying, "Everyone, look! The disappearance of our relatives is related to this family!"
"A life for a life! Let's charge in and let them taste the pain of losing their loved ones!"
"Yes, our relatives are missing and were treated as test subjects. A life for a life! We cannot let them go!"
The crowd's emotions surged, and their faces contorted as they rushed forward and pounded on the door.
"Who are you people?"
At this moment, the security personnel of the Su family villa quickly rushed over and said coldly, "I'm telling you, this is not a place for you to cause trouble!"
He could tell these people were not here with good intentions and had already drawn the rubber bat from his waist.
Following him, another dozen security personnel rushed out, causing many to flinch and turn pale.
Gu Jiahua, however, sneered, pointed to his head, and said fearlessly, "Hit us! Hit us here if you dare. I tell you, your master harmed our families. If you kill us, we won't rest in peace even as ghosts!"
As soon as he said this, it emboldened many. They also rushed forward, shouting, "Yes, hit me if you can!"
The security personnel instinctively took a step back.
They only intended to intimidate these people but hadn't expected to actually strike, let alone kill them.
The security captain realized the situation was not right and whispered to a subordinate, "Quickly go and inform the young lady!"
The subordinate dared not delay and rushed into the villa in a flash.
In the living room, Su Yunxi was reading documents, while Jiang Biyun was watching the most popular television series.
Su Yunxi hadn't noticed the situation outside, but Jiang Biyun heard the commotion and frowned, "Yunxi, why is it so noisy outside?"
Just as Jiang Biyun was about to have a servant check what was happening, the security personnel, disregarding knocking, rushed in and said urgently, "Madam, Miss, something terrible has happened!"
Jiang Biyun frowned, "Why are you so flustered? What kind of conduct is this!"
Su Yunxi looked up at the security personnel and asked, "What's happening outside?"
"A group of people came to cause trouble outside just now, demanding blood for blood. Miss, what should we do? Those people are not afraid of death!"
The security personnel said hastily.
"Causing trouble? Who dares to come to our Su family in the provincial capital? I think they are tired of living!" Jiang Biyun slammed the table and said angrily.
The security personnel whispered, "It seems to be related to the previous missing persons case... They said the son-in-law is the murderer and they want blood for blood..."
As security personnel of the Su family, they were somewhat aware of what had happened to the Su family in the provincial capital.
"I'll go and see!"
Su Yunxi stood up abruptly.
"Miss Su, you'd better not go. Those people are not afraid of death. Let us handle it," the security personnel advised.
Jiang Biyun also hurriedly said, "Yes, Yunxi, it's too dangerous outside, you shouldn't go."
Su Yunxi shook her head, "No, I absolutely cannot let them slander Chen Xuan so casually. Mom, I must go and see."
After speaking, Su Yunxi led the security personnel outside.
Arriving outside, she saw the group stubbornly trying to push their way in. The security personnel tried to stop them, but those people were charging forward as if they didn't care about their lives!
"Stop!"
A cold shout rang out, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Su Yunxi looked at Gu Jiahua, who was at the forefront, and asked, "Who are you people? Why are you causing trouble here!"
Gu Jiahua said, "My father's name is Gu Ziqiang. He is a martial artist and disappeared a month ago. According to the information I received, your fiancé Chen Xuan took him into his laboratory for live experiments! Today, your family must give my father, whose fate is unknown, an explanation!"
"Our relatives are also missing. You must give us an explanation!"
Others also shouted in agreement.
After hearing this, Su Yunxi was furious. "I ask you, on what grounds do you assume my fiancé did it? Do you have any evidence?"
Everyone fell silent at once. They indeed had no evidence.
However, Gu Jiahua sneered, "We don't have any evidence, but the authorities wouldn't arrest a good person for no reason. Your fiancé was arrested, it must be because of this matter."
"This is your evidence? How ridiculous!"
Su Yunxi shook her head helplessly. "I advise you to leave immediately, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
"What? Are you going to make a move? I tell you, although we are not powerful martial artists, we are still practitioners and know quite a few martial artists. If you don't give us an explanation today, I won't let this go!"
Gu Jiahua was fearless.
The crowd parted, and indeed, several martial artists emerged. Judging by their strength, although not strong, they had reached the level of Inner Strength Grandmaster.
"You are going too far!" Su Yunxi's eyes were icy.
Chen Xuan was framed and imprisoned, and she was already furious. Now, people were coming to cause trouble without any basis, which was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire!
