The Second Grand Uncle of the Shang family held a high-ranking position in the Jiangdong Provincial Capital Supervision Department. His return to his hometown was marked by considerable fanfare, with six or seven luxury cars of the same model and over a dozen accompanying personnel, plus seven or eight guards and bodyguards.
The direct descendants of the Shang family, ignoring Xiao Yunlong and the other two who were still enjoying their meal, all turned and rushed outside.
The Second Grand Uncle had finally returned, and they naturally had to go out to welcome him.
"Uncle, you're finally back. You've made us wait for quite some time."
Shang Youde, barely managing to tidy himself, hurried out.
The Second Grand Uncle appeared to be in his sixties, with white hair and beard, but he was still quite robust. The crisp Zhongshan suit he wore gave him an air of spirit.
"There was a sudden meeting before I left. I couldn't help it, but I was delayed due to many matters. Dong'er, why are you in a wheelchair? Can't you walk anymore?"
The Second Grand Uncle, Shang Fagu, was stunned. He couldn't help but say, "And Bin De, your hand, is it broken? Also, Youde, today is your son's wedding, why do you look so disheveled? You're all dirty, did you fall into the toilet?"
Upon being questioned by the Second Grand Uncle, the direct descendants of the Shang family felt immensely wronged. Several noble ladies were even on the verge of tears.
"What exactly happened? Did you encounter trouble? In Su City, could anyone dare to make things difficult for you?" Shang Fagu asked sternly.
Shang Youde's wife then said, "Second Uncle, you must seek justice for us this time. You are right, our Shang family has indeed encountered trouble!"
"Then speak quickly, what happened? And what's going on with all of you looking like this!" the Second Grand Uncle demanded angrily.
Shang Youde then said, "It's shameful and embarrassing to talk about, but if we don't say it, we really have no other choice. To be honest, Second Uncle, Dong'er's legs were broken by someone, and Bin De's right hand was also crippled by the same person. It's a comminuted fracture, and it can't be reconnected."
"Both of their hands and feet were broken by the same person? That person is too audacious!" The Second Grand Uncle, Shang Fagu, widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Yes, Second Grand Uncle. Not only did that person break my and Second Uncle's hands and feet, but he also came to our Shang family today. That brat even forced dog food into my father's mouth in public and made my father kneel and kowtow, humiliating my father in every way. That brat is not human, he's a beast!" Shang Dong said fiercely.
"Outrageous, truly outrageous!"
The Second Grand Uncle, Shang Fagu, was so angry his hair was almost standing on end. He gritted his teeth and said, "Our Shang family is, after all, one of the three major aristocratic families in Su City. What are all these bodyguards and guards we keep at home for?"
Shang Bin De sighed, "Second Uncle, all the bodyguards and guards at home were taken down by that brat. This brat is a martial artist, and his skills are extremely formidable. Otherwise, we wouldn't have let him ride on our heads and defecate and urinate on us!"
"If that's the case, this person is a master. Where is he now?" Shang Fagu narrowed his eyes and asked sternly.
"He's in the inner hall, eating and drinking at the main table. This brat is clearly showing that he doesn't put our Shang family in his eyes!" Shang Youde and Shang Bin De said in unison.
"Damn it, today is Dong'er's wedding day, and this brat is really defecating and urinating on our Shang family. Do you know who this person is?"
"Replying to Second Grand Uncle, we don't know the specific background of that brat. We only know that he is the live-in son-in-law of our Su City's Liu family."
"A live-in son-in-law dares to be so arrogant and rampant. It seems he doesn't know how he died!"
Shang Fagu let out a cold shout and strode towards the inner hall.
At this time, most of the guests were still there. After all, it was a rare opportunity to watch a good show, and no one was willing to miss it easily.
Xiao Yunlong continued to eat heartily with his chopsticks. Even though Shang Fagu entered with a group of subordinates radiating imposing pressure, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention, not even lifting his head.
Liu Ruyan saw the newcomers and immediately stopped her chopsticks in mid-air. She glanced at the murderous Second Grand Uncle of the Shang family, then turned to look at Xiao Yunlong, her pretty face clearly showing a hint of nervousness.
Liu Hongguo, however, snorted coldly, showing no panic. After all, he knew Xiao Yunlong's identity. What if the Second Grand Uncle of the Shang family returned? In front of the Town North King, a high-ranking official from the Jiangdong Supervision Department was nothing more than a subordinate, and would still have to kneel!
As soon as Shang Fagu entered the inner hall, his eagle-like eyes fixed on Xiao Yunlong. If looks could kill, Xiao Yunlong would have died countless times already.
He walked directly up to Xiao Yunlong and said coldly, "You brat, you have great courage! Not only did you cripple my Shang family disciples' hands and feet, but today, on my Shang family's wedding, you dare to come to our door and cause trouble. You are too rampant and overbearing!"
Xiao Yunlong finally looked up and said, "You must be the elder of the Shang family who serves as a high-ranking official in the Jiangdong Provincial Capital Supervision Department, right? What's your name?"
Shang Fagu's eyes twitched with anger. He roared, "Good boy, since you know me, you should immediately kneel down to me!"
Xiao Yunlong chuckled and said, "You're halfway into the coffin, yet you're still so hot-tempered. You must be hungry after traveling all the way from the provincial capital. This table of food is really good. Sit down and have a few bites, otherwise, you might not be able to eat it anymore."
Shang Fagu naturally couldn't understand the hidden meaning in Xiao Yunlong's words. He snorted, pulled out a chair, and sat down opposite Xiao Yunlong.
"You brat, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have some skills? I'm telling you, I don't even need to make a move to deal with you today!"
As Shang Fagu spoke, he took out his mobile phone.
In fact, the reason Shang Fagu was talking so much nonsense was to probe the other party's background and see the depth of this young man. He wasn't stupid. Since the other party could defeat the Shang family's hundreds of bodyguards and guards, it meant his skills were likely extraordinary.
Because he was returning for a wedding, Shang Fagu hadn't brought many men or weapons. Therefore, before he could figure out the other party's background, he didn't dare to act rashly, otherwise, he might even suffer a loss himself.
Liu Hongguo said at this moment, "Shang Fagu, speaking of which, we had some acquaintance when we were young. Can you give me some face and let this matter go today? After all, today is Shang Dong's wedding with my granddaughter. In a sense, we are family."
"Family? What are you? You want to climb into our Shang family? I knew you when I was young, but it wasn't to the point of acquaintance. I'm telling you, Liu Hongguo, after I deal with this brat, I'll settle the score with your Liu family!" Shang Fagu said sternly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hongguo shook his head, knowing that the Shang family was completely finished this time.
The call finally went through. Shang Fagu immediately shouted, "Liang Youming, listen to me carefully. Immediately call all the personnel from your department, remember to bring all your weapons, and rush to my Shang family as quickly as possible!"
Liang Youming on the other end of the phone was stunned. "Captain Shang, you are... did something happen?"
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm in Su City, my hometown, right now. I'll give you ten minutes. If you dare to be late, or bring fewer people, I'll immediately have the higher-ups remove you!"
Shang Fagu hung up the phone directly.
At this time, Liang Youming, who was in the Supervision Bureau, was completely bewildered. Although he didn't know what had happened to the Shang family, one thing he was very clear about was that if he didn't follow Shang Fagu's instructions, the other party would definitely find a way to remove him from his position.
Moreover, he could tell that Shang Fagu on the phone was furious, almost to the point of killing someone, so this was definitely not a joke.
"Damn it, being one rank lower in officialdom really crushes people!"
Liang Youming said, immediately got up, and gathered the personnel from the bureau as quickly as possible. He then drove towards the Shang family with his weapons.
At this time, in the inner hall of the Shang family, all the guests had been cleared out, leaving only the direct descendants of the Shang family. The spacious inner hall was quiet, and the atmosphere was oppressive.
All the Shang family descendants, including the Second Grand Uncle Shang Fagu, were staring at Xiao Yunlong.
Xiao Yunlong continued to eat heartily as if no one was around, completely ignoring the gazes of those around him.
In less than fifteen minutes, the sound of car horns echoed from outside. Then, Liang Youming rushed in with a large group of people.
"Captain Shang, isn't today a joyous occasion for the Shang family? What exactly is going on?" Liang Youming asked as he walked in quickly.
Shang Fagu directly pointed at Xiao Yunlong and coldly shouted, "Immediately order your men to apprehend this brat. Remember, if he dares to resist, kill him on the spot without mercy!"
It was at this moment that Liang Youming noticed Xiao Yunlong, who was burying his head in food opposite him, and his whole body froze as if he had been electrocuted.
"This... this, Captain Shang, you want me to apprehend him? Is this a mistake?" Liang Youming asked in shock.
"Of course, I wouldn't make a mistake. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and act, apprehend this brat!" Shang Fagu roared, slamming his hand on the table.
Liang Youming looked at Xiao Yunlong and confirmed it was indeed Mr. Xiao. Then he said, "Captain Shang, I'm afraid I can't act this time."
"Can't act? What do you mean by that? Do you dare not listen to my orders?" Shang Fagu asked sternly.
"You're right, Captain Shang. I really won't listen to your orders this time!" Liang Youming looked directly at him.
"Outrageous, Liang Youming, you're something! Believe it or not, if I report you to the higher-ups now, your demotion order will come down tomorrow!" Shang Fagu threatened.
Liang Youming, however, shrugged and sneered, "Then go report it. I'll make it clear to you today. Let alone demoting me, even if you put a knife to my neck, I won't move against Mr. Xiao!"
"You..." Shang Fagu was so angry he stood up abruptly, his whole body trembling.
Suddenly, Shang Fagu grinned and sneered, "I get it now. So this brat surnamed Xiao is backed by you, you are his protector. No wonder this brat dares to be so rampant. With just the two of you, you actually want to challenge me. You probably don't know how you died!"
Saying this, Shang Fagu picked up his mobile phone again.
Xiao Yunlong finally finished eating, put down his chopsticks, and glanced at him, "Still calling to get reinforcements? You're a high-ranking official in the Jiangdong Provincial Capital Supervision Department, aren't you ashamed to be like this? Don't you think about why Liang Youming didn't make a move after seeing me, and even dared to offend you without daring to act? Don't you think this is very abnormal?"
"What do you mean by that?" Shang Fagu raised his eyebrows and asked.
Xiao Yunlong shook his head and looked at Liang Youming, "Liang Youming, go and drive out the irrelevant people!"
"Yes, Mr. Xiao!" Liang Youming nodded immediately and then forcibly drove people away.
Shang Fagu was stunned. "Wait, Liang Youming, what did you just call him? Mr. Xiao? What is this brat's background?"
Liang Youming couldn't be bothered to answer, pretending not to hear. He really didn't want to get involved in such matters.
Shang Fagu then turned and stared intently at Xiao Yunlong, as if trying to see through him.
"Now you know to ask about my background? If that's the case, then I'll show you something!"
Xiao Yunlong said with a faint cold smile, flicking a bronze token onto the table in front of Shang Fagu.
As soon as Shang Fagu saw the bronze token on the table clearly, his eyes widened, and a look of deep fear appeared in his eyes.
