He knew that Feng Qingnian had returned to the country. He had originally intended to discuss Er Zhu's matters with him, but considering Feng Qingnian's frail health and his detachment from the Feng family's business, he hadn't. He hadn't expected that this would cause such significant trouble for Er Zhu!
"It's fine, as long as you know your mistakes and return. Godfather, let me help you back."
Er Zhu smiled dismissively, casting a nonchalant glance at Feng Qingnian, who was still slapping himself. He then helped Elder Feng.
"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry. It was my oversight. I beg you, for my elder brother's sake, spare me this once."
Just as Er Zhu was about to move, Feng Qingnian suddenly knelt before him, pleading desperately.
If this Wang Er Zhu were merely his elder brother's adopted son, it wouldn't matter. But now, he was the richest man in the capital and the true head of the Feng family!
He had been sickly since childhood, and the Feng family was his only reliance. Without the Feng family, he couldn't imagine how miserable his life would be!
Therefore, no matter what, he had to beg for Er Zhu's forgiveness today!
He would even kill Chen Xiaoxiao if necessary!
"You should still go abroad." Er Zhu had no intention of forgiving him, but seeing Elder Feng's distress, he nodded slightly.
"Alright, I'll leave now. I will not return without your command!"
Seeing Er Zhu nod, Feng Qingnian respectfully kowtowed to him and agreed repeatedly.
Not far away, Chen Xiaoxiao watched Feng Qingnian kneel before Er Zhu, begging for mercy. She wanted to argue, but at this moment, even breathing hurt. What could she say?
Originally, she had intended to teach Wang Er Zhu a lesson, but she never expected to be thoroughly taught a lesson by Er Zhu herself, and lose her only support in the process!
Looking at the various injuries on her body, Chen Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with anger, but faced with everything before her, she could only endure!
"You don't need to come back in this lifetime, you disgrace!"
Seeing Feng Qingnian's pathetic state, Elder Feng grew increasingly angry. He picked up his cane and struck Feng Qingnian's leg pit heavily.
Feng Qingnian immediately fell to his knees. The immense impact caused his knees to throb with pain, yet he didn't dare utter a word!
He didn't even dare to cry out in pain!
Enduring the excruciating pain, Feng Qingnian fled the scene as quickly as possible. Chen Xiaoxiao watched Feng Qingnian's retreating figure, her eyes filled with despair!
Everything was over!
She would never have another chance for revenge!
Although she was unwilling, looking at her broken body, she could only accept her fate.
Chen Xiaoxiao lay on the ground alone, looking at Er Zhu's receding back with anger and unwillingness. A tear slid down her face.
"You still have a chance for revenge, but you must pay everything. Are you willing?"
Just as Chen Xiaoxiao descended into despair, a strange voice suddenly came from behind her. She turned her head and saw a woman in ethnic clothing smiling at her…
Er Zhu was unaware of all this. After sending Elder Feng home, he returned to his own home as quickly as possible.
When Er Zhu saw Li Mei's figure through the window, the slight frown on his brow gradually eased.
Thank goodness she was alright!
"Er Zhu, you're back. Let me introduce you. This is my senior, Fang Mingsheng!"
Seeing Er Zhu, Li Mei smiled and waved at him, then pointed to the refined-looking man on the sofa.
Looking at the man before him, Er Zhu's eyes flickered. He tried to use his Heavenly Eye to see through the man's mind, but he found the man's mind to be incredibly pure!
And that was impossible!
He must have used some kind of cultivation technique to hide his true thoughts. This man was not simple!
Er Zhu warily sized up the polite man before him, his arm around Li Mei tightening.
"Er Zhu, he is the future heir of the Fang family in the capital. The Fang family is the strongest among the hidden families in the capital!"
Li Mei didn't notice Er Zhu's thoughts. She leaned close to Er Zhu's ear and whispered.
She had spent a long time gathering information to establish contact with this Fang Mingsheng. If Er Zhu could gain his support, his foundation in the capital would be even more solid!
Li Mei smiled and nodded to Fang Mingsheng, who also smiled and nodded, appraising the man opposite him. The world knew him as the eldest son of the Fang family, but they didn't know he was the Grand Master of the Qingcheng Pavilion! Wang Er Zhu had killed so many of his Qingcheng Pavilion experts; he wanted him dead! A trace of killing intent flashed in Fang Mingsheng's gentle jade-like eyes, a fleeting moment that even Er Zhu couldn't catch!
"What should I call you, Wang Er Zhu or Luo Feng?" Fang Mingsheng adjusted his glasses and asked Er Zhu with a smile.
"Just call me Er Zhu. I don't wish to use the name Luo Feng." Er Zhu smiled slightly, perfunctorily extending his hand to shake Fang Mingsheng's and replied. The name Luo Feng reminded him of the past, of the tragic deaths of his parents and grandfather! And that was a past he least wanted to recall!
"Good, Mr. Wang. Our Fang family is building a Chinese medicine factory recently. I heard you have considerable research in Chinese medicine. I wonder if we could cooperate?" Seeing that Er Zhu hadn't seen through him, Fang Mingsheng smiled slightly and stated his intentions directly. Previously, the assassins sent by Qingcheng Pavilion were just for killing, so Wang Er Zhu could see through them quickly. This time, he wanted to try a different approach! Because in his opinion, direct action was for brutes, while using one's mind was the best way to solve problems!
"Of course. With the Fang family's support, I will be even more formidable!" Although Er Zhu couldn't see through Fang Mingsheng's intentions, he felt something was amiss, so he decided to play along. Besides, even though his great revenge had been achieved, he had to focus all his efforts on getting rich! Although he was already the richest man in the capital, everyone knew that there was always someone better.
"Then, let us have a pleasant cooperation!" Fang Mingsheng smiled slightly and slowly extended his hand. Er Zhu didn't hesitate and gently grasped Fang Mingsheng's hand. But the moment their hands touched, Er Zhu felt a wave of coldness surge into his body! If it weren't for his spiritual energy protecting him, he might have frozen to death by now! Er Zhu was stunned and eyed Fang Mingsheng warily. No wonder he couldn't see into his mind; he was a cultivator! Cultivators possessed spiritual energy, which could conceal their thoughts. Therefore, even with his Heavenly Eye activated, he saw nothing. However, although Fang Mingsheng was a cultivator, his cultivation was much shallower than his, so Er Zhu didn't pay it too much heed.
"Then I have other matters to attend to, I'll take my leave." After releasing his hand, Fang Mingsheng smiled slightly. The moment he turned, a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes. This Wang Er Zhu was also a cultivator, and his strength was even greater than his! This made things interesting; he had never encountered such a formidable opponent! Fang Mingsheng glanced sideways at Er Zhu, his eyes filled with threat, but Er Zhu didn't even look at him!
