Guan Yuanzheng's companions rushed to help him up, seated him on the sofa, and dialed the emergency number.
Groaning weakly, Guan Yuanzheng was paralyzed with pain.
"Young Master Guan, should we call someone?"
His companion asked.
"Call… call your sister, didn't you see him make a move?"
Young Master Guan replied weakly, gnashing his teeth in hatred at his two companions.
When Chen Fan made his move earlier, these two die-hard friends of his had stayed far away.
"Young Master Yu, Young Master He, who exactly is Mr. Chen?"
President Xiong could not suppress his curiosity and asked in a low voice.
One of them looked at Guan Yuanzheng, then at President Xiong, and replied, "Do you know the Chen family?"
"Which Chen family?" President Xiong was bewildered.
The level he was at was still too low, and he was unaware of the low-key top-tier aristocratic families like the Chen family.
The person let out a cold laugh and said, "The most powerful Chen family. If you don't know, that's fine. You've definitely heard of his other identity: the CEO of Long Teng!"
"Long Teng, Long Teng Group?"
President Xiong was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his expression greatly shaken, and he looked incredulous.
Anyone who mingled in business circles had heard of Long Teng Group and Mr. Long.
The Mr. Chen from earlier was actually the CEO of Long Teng?
For a moment, he was shocked and disbelieving.
He had actually had tea and spoken with Mr. Long earlier, and… his artist had even leveraged Mr. Long's connections?
While he was in shock, Chen Fan and the other person had already taken the elevator downstairs.
"Mr. Chen, thank you!"
Fang Qiong stood beside Chen Fan, facing the elevator doors, but secretly glancing at Chen Fan's profile.
Chen Fan waved his hand, remaining silent.
A blush appeared on Fang Qiong's face.
This man, whom she hadn't found particularly striking at first, now seemed more and more special, radiating a strong sense of masculinity and providing immense security.
It was a pity that, based on her intuition as a woman, Fang Qiong was certain he had no other intentions towards her.
They soon reached the ground floor, and as they walked out of the lobby, Chen Fan opened the car door and got in.
"Mr. Chen!"
Fang Qiong couldn't help but call out.
Chen Fan stopped and looked at Fang Qiong.
"Do you… really not need me to spend the night with… with you?"
Fang Qiong said, her face flushed.
Chen Fan chuckled and shook his head.
"Why… why are you helping me?"
Fang Qiong had a feeling that once Chen Fan got into that car, she would have no connection with him for the rest of her life.
A strong sense of loss and melancholy welled up in her heart involuntarily.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Didn't you sing me a little song? I can't just listen to your song for nothing."
With that, he said no more, got into the car, closed the door, reversed, and quickly drove away.
Watching the BMW quickly disappear at the intersection ahead, Fang Qiong felt a deep sense of wistfulness.
If Chen Fan had agreed, let alone spend the night with her, she would have agreed to be his lover for life, and would not have regretted it.
But she knew that what she could offer was not something a prominent figure like Chen Fan would be interested in!
She didn't say many words of thanks or repayment, because such words were pale and powerless, and held no meaning.
The thing she cherished most, the thing most precious to her, was not even of interest to this man. What else could she offer?
After this encounter, if nothing unexpected happened, there would be no next time.
Perhaps, if she worked hard to become a nationally recognized superstar, she might learn more about him, and perhaps there would be a chance to meet again, to reach the level he occupied?
Thinking of this, her expression became resolute.
Chen Fan drove back to the Siheyuan. Midway, his phone rang.
He picked it up and saw it was Feng Qianluan calling.
"You clashed with Zuo Tiance and defeated her?"
Feng Qianluan asked.
"Mm," Chen Fan replied. "You got the news so quickly?"
"Of course, the Feng family has some connections in the capital."
Feng Qianluan said, "Come to the repository now. My Thirteenth Uncle is here and waiting for you."
Chen Fan was slightly taken aback and said, "Alright."
After hanging up the phone, he turned and headed for the Feng family's repository.
Feng Qianluan's Thirteenth Uncle was none other than Feng Chengmo, the martial arts grandmaster of the Feng family.
There were more and more martial arts grandmasters in the capital now, and the situation was becoming increasingly complex.
He had taught Zuo Tiance a lesson today, and he wondered what chain reaction it would cause.
However, Feng Chengmo's arrival in the capital was considered good news for him.
He and the Feng family were allies. Although their relationship was not one of close intimacy, having an additional strong support was never a bad thing.
Before long, he arrived at the Feng family's private repository.
"Young Master Chen!"
Feng Jiu waited at the entrance, bowed slightly to Chen Fan, and said, "Thirteenth Master is inside, please come in."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Uncle Jiu, has there been any news in the past few days?"
Feng Jiu quickly replied, "I dare not accept such a title from Young Master Chen. Just call me Feng Jiu or Ah Jiu. The news is mostly related to Young Master Chen. They say you killed Gao Hongchang of the Liuhe Sect in Yuzhou, and today you defeated the young alliance leader of the Zuo family. You are truly heroic!"
Chen Fan walked inside and said, "Uncle Jiu, you are an elder, and there are many things I need to learn from you. Calling you Uncle Jiu is only right."
Feng Jiu's expression was a little complex upon hearing this. He smiled and said, "Thirteenth Master is inside. Young Master Chen, please go in first."
Chen Fan nodded and said no more.
Entering the repository, he walked through the exhibition area, and under the complex gazes of several Feng family disciples, Chen Fan pushed open the door to a quiet room inside.
In the quiet room, Feng Chengmo and Feng Qianluan were sitting opposite each other, talking.
"Oh, our Grandmaster Chen is here!"
Feng Qianluan said sarcastically, "We didn't come out to greet you, so please don't be offended."
Chen Fan glanced at Feng Qianluan, raising an eyebrow.
"Alright, Qianluan, you go out first. I'll have a chat with Young Master Chen!"
Feng Chengmo said.
Giving Chen Fan a white eye, Feng Qianluan snorted and went out.
"Sit!"
Feng Chengmo smiled and said, "Qianluan has been doted on by the entire Feng family since childhood, so her temper is a little spoiled. Grandmaster Tian, please don't take it to heart."
Chen Fan nodded and said, "It's fine."
"I heard that your relationship is not very harmonious, which might affect our cooperation,"
Feng Chengmo said. "Coupled with the impending battle of grandmasters in the capital, I came to the capital first."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Senior Feng, your arrival is just in time. The capital is full of grandmasters, and I desperately need strong reinforcements."
Feng Chengmo's arrival in the capital was not exactly premature.
However, with four days left until the grandmaster battle, Feng Chengmo's arrival at this time was likely related to the events in Yuzhou.
Chen Fan had displayed his powerful strength in the battle of Yuzhou, and the Feng family's attitude seemed to have changed.
"You and our Feng family are allies. With grandmasters gathering and the situation in flux, the Feng family can no longer stand idly by. If you need my help, don't hesitate to ask!"
Feng Chengmo said.
Chen Fan nodded, "Thank you, Senior Feng."
"What were the specific circumstances of your fight with Gao Hongchang?"
Feng Chengmo asked.
