The call came not from anyone else, but from his father, Chen Wenwu, the number one figure in Guangnan Province.
Chen Wenwu had just received a call from Elder Li, and it nearly scared him out of his wits.
Moreover, Elder Li had made it very clear: even Elder Huang had to be polite to Xia Feng. As for Chen Wenwu himself, there was no need to even mention it; they were not on the same level.
Now Chen Shao was on his territory, and he had even ordered people to investigate Xia Feng.
Chen Wenwu instantly felt as if the sky was about to fall.
His son was usually very well-behaved, never using his position to bully the weak. Why had he made such a grave mistake this time?
To investigate someone whom both Elder Huang and Elder Li respected, wasn't that asking for trouble?
Therefore, after being lectured by Elder Li, Chen Wenwu immediately dialed his son Chen Shao's number, wanting to find out the whole story as quickly as possible.
Chen Shao felt a little scared and cautiously answered the phone, his voice trembling with fear as he called out, "Dad."
"Chen Shao, what are you doing? Tell me clearly, why did you investigate him?" Chen Wenwu's tone was anxious, on the verge of exploding.
"Dad, Uncle Lei has already told me about the matter. The source of the issue is like this..."
Chen Shao recounted everything clearly, without omitting a single detail.
After listening, Chen Wenwu cursed, "If you ever ask Lei Yanxing to investigate someone for you again, I'll break your legs myself."
"Dad, I know I was wrong." Chen Shao understood the seriousness of the situation and quickly apologized.
"Knowing you're wrong is no use. Go and apologize sincerely. If you can't get his forgiveness, I'll apologize personally." Chen Wenwu instructed.
In fact, Chen Wenwu himself wanted to go, but Elder Li had explicitly told him not to disturb Xia Feng, as Xia Feng disliked being bothered.
Otherwise, Chen Wenwu would have already set off on the road by now.
Chen Shao heard this and replied, "I understand. I'll go apologize to him right away."
Apologizing wasn't the issue; Chen Shao just wanted to know what exactly this Xia Feng was.
Why could he make his father so afraid?
His father was a high-ranking official. Even if Xia Feng was a young master from Yanjing, it shouldn't warrant his father personally coming to apologize.
After Chen Shao finished speaking, he asked with confusion, "Dad, just tell me, who exactly is he? That makes you say you'll apologize?"
Chen Wenwu knew this matter couldn't be kept from his son, and it was better for Chen Shao to know Xia Feng's situation. This way, Chen Shao would be more sincere when he went to apologize.
"Elder Li just called me. Elder Li also said that not only him, but even Elder Huang, had to be polite to him. What do you think you are? Can you investigate him?"
Chen Wenwu paused for a moment after speaking, then continued, "Don't ask me about his identity or why Elder Huang and Elder Li respect him so much. All I can tell you is that I'm not qualified to know his identity. That's all I'll say. Think about it yourself."
After speaking, Chen Wenwu hung up the phone without any hesitation.
Chen Shao was completely stunned.
Especially when he heard the names Elder Huang and Elder Li mentioned by his father, there was no need to think; they were indeed those two.
Had Xia Feng become that formidable?
Indeed, as his father had said, they were not qualified to know Xia Feng's identity.
Chen Shao stood in place for a full three minutes before walking quickly towards Xia Feng.
Upon reaching Xia Feng, under everyone's astonished gaze, Chen Shao bowed deeply and apologized:
"Young Master Xia, I am sorry. I was presumptuous. I apologize to you."
