Fu Yun looked at Man Xiong excitedly.
Man Xiong nodded and said, "Just say it."
Whether to help or not was another matter.
Fu Yun, mistaking Man Xiong's nod as an agreement to help him, spilled everything out like a shaken bean jar, "Yes, that Chen Jinzhao attacked me without warning, and injured more than a dozen security personnel in our courtyard. He's still sitting in the back garden now, showing no regard for our Fu family."
"From his attitude, he doesn't even take Brother Man Xiong seriously."
Upon hearing this, Fu Songhu exclaimed in shock, "Wait, you're saying Chen Jinzhao injured all ten-plus of our people?"
"Was he injured at all?"
Fu Yun gritted his teeth and said, "No, Chen Jinzhao's skills are extremely formidable. He's probably a member of some special forces team."
Fu Songhu was even more astonished, then turned to look at Man Xiong.
Man Xiong said with a blank expression, "Let's go, we'll go to the back garden and have a word with him."
Fu Songhu also mistakenly thought Man Xiong was going to help. Overjoyed, he asked Fu Yun to lead the way and stated that if Man Xiong could help them vent this anger, he would be handsomely rewarded.
Man Xiong remained non-committal and walked ahead.
Seeing this, Fu Yun sidled up to his grandfather and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, why is Brother Man Xiong here at our Fu family's residence? I distinctly remember that no matter how much we invited him before, he never came. Has he changed his mind and now wants to cooperate with our Fu family?"
"No, he's here to find someone at our mansion. He didn't say who," Fu Songhu replied.
"Did he propose any ideas for cooperation?" Fu Yun pressed.
Fu Songhu shook his head again.
Annoyed, he said, "Alright, stop asking about these things. They have nothing to do with you."
Seeing this, Fu Yun realized that cooperation had not progressed and so he sullenly shut his mouth, not asking any further questions, and followed obediently behind Fu Songhu.
The group arrived at the back garden.
Fu Songhu's heart nearly gave out when he saw the disheveled state of the back garden. He said to Man Xiong again, "Man Xiong, please help us deal with this lunatic, otherwise our Fu family's reputation will be tarnished."
"I'm counting on you!"
Man Xiong said faintly, "Let's go over and find out what the situation is first."
Fu Songhu wanted to speak but stopped himself.
Seeing that Man Xiong had already walked up to Chen Jinzhao, Fu Songhu could only swallow his words and quickly followed.
At the same time.
He gave Fu Yun a look, signaling him to say something bad about Chen Jinzhao.
Fu Yun understood. He walked up to Chen Jinzhao and said, "Brother Man Xiong, this is the scoundrel I told you about. Not only does Chen Jinzhao disregard our Fu family, he also disregards you, Brother Man Xiong, saying things like 'What are you even worth?'"
"I couldn't stand it and wanted to defend our dignity, but Chen Jinzhao beat me up soundly."
"Such a lunatic must be taught a lesson!"
Tao Qiyue saw Man Xiong standing before her and showed a peculiar expression on her face, retorting, "Fu Yun, if Chen Jinzhao hadn't said those words you mentioned, could you have died?"
"I can guarantee that Chen Jinzhao definitely said it," Fu Yun said.
"Then swear an oath." Tao Qiyue said.
Fu Yun sneered, "Why should I swear an oath? Chen Jinzhao knows best whether he said it or not. Whether I swear an oath or not doesn't change that fact."
His words were very well-spoken, watertight.
Fu Songhu said from the side, "Chen Jinzhao, I only spoke a few truths, and you actually flew into a rage and beat my grandson, and injured the security guards in my courtyard. Tell me, how should this matter be resolved?"
Chen Jinzhao remained silent.
Fu Yun laughed heartily, "Chen Jinzhao, where did your arrogance go? Weren't you very powerful? Show me how powerful you are again?"
Chen Jinzhao still did not speak.
"Grandpa, in my opinion, we should first break his limbs, then throw him into prison to reflect on his mistakes. Only then can he become a new person," Fu Yun said with a sinister smile. These methods were commonly used by the Fu family, indicating how corrupt they were.
Fu Songhu nodded.
"Mm—"
"I think that's feasible. Since he dared to provoke our Fu family, he should be prepared to go to jail."
Fu Yun burst into laughter.
Seeing that Chen Jinzhao still hadn't spoken, Fu Yun taunted, "Why aren't you talking? Are you afraid to speak in front of Brother Man Xiong? Hahaha, where did your swagger go? Can't you even utter a single word now?"
Tao Qiyue secretly shook her head.
Fu Yun had not yet realized that danger was quietly approaching.
Truly ignorant and foolish.
Thinking this, Tao Qiyue looked up at Man Xiong.
Fu Yun was already impatient to see Chen Jinzhao trampled under Man Xiong's feet. So, he turned to Man Xiong and said, "Brother Man Xiong, please deal with this Chen Jinzhao now and let him know how powerful the fists of us Northerners are."
Man Xiong seemed not to have heard Fu Yun's words, and still showed no intention of acting.
"Brother Man Xiong?"
Fu Yun's expression became confused.
Fu Songhu suddenly sensed a hint of unease, as if something big was about to happen.
"Man Xiong, what's wrong?" He also couldn't hold back and asked.
The next moment.
Man Xiong moved. Under the gaze of the Fu family, he walked to a spot not far from Chen Jinzhao. Fu Yun clenched his fists, his face filled with excitement, believing Man Xiong was about to make a move.
Chen Jinzhao was doomed!
"Candle Dragon, long time no see," Man Xiong said with a smile.
Chen Jinzhao's expressionless face also showed a faint smile, "We just met last night, it hasn't been that long."
Man Xiong continued to smile, "What's the old saying? A day apart feels like three years."
"Get lost, I'm not a woman," Chen Jinzhao retorted with a laugh.
Fu Yun was stunned.
Anyone with a brain could tell that Man Xiong and Chen Jinzhao were old friends.
"Candle Dragon? Who is Candle Dragon? Isn't he Chen Jinzhao?" Fu Yun turned to ask Fu Songhu, only to see Fu Songhu's face pale, his whole body trembling slightly. Fu Yun asked in confusion, "Grandpa, why is your face so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gulp!
Fu Songhu swallowed. His gaze was even more shocked.
He had heard clearly!
Candle Dragon!
Only Candle Dragon could make Man Xiong so polite.
Thinking this, Fu Songhu trembled with fear. What kind of sin had he committed to have Candle Dragon brought to his home?
What should he do next?
Fu Songhu's mind went blank. Then, as if a thought struck him, he directly slapped Fu Yun across the face. Before Fu Yun could react, he had already received several slaps, making his already injured cheek even more red and swollen.
"Grandpa, what is this..."
Fu Yun was confused.
Fu Songhu trembled, whether from excitement or fear, pointing a finger at Fu Yun's nose and scolding, "Beast, shut your mouth! Do you know who this Chen Jinzhao sitting in the pavilion is? He is the renowned Candle Dragon, and the youngest general in China!"
"You might not know Candle Dragon, but you surely know the Han family of Donghai and the Su family of Jiangnan, right?"
"Both of these major families were destroyed by him."
