"Mr. Long, what news?" the other person asked, sounding somewhat confused.
These two were Long Zeliang and Zheng Wenchang.
Long Zeliang sighed, his expression extremely grim. "Zheng Qian went to the Lin family's villa today."
Zheng Wenchang nodded. "I know. Thanks to you, Mr. Long, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to acquire the Lin family's mansion for such a low price."
"But," Long Zeliang began, then stopped.
"But what? Mr. Long, please just tell me what's on your mind," Zheng Wenchang said, completely bewildered.
Long Zeliang then said, "Mr. Zheng, Zheng Qian met Chen Mo in the villa today."
"What!" Zheng Wenchang shot up from his seat.
A bad premonition surfaced, and he asked, "Zheng Qian, did something happen to him?"
Long Zeliang nodded heavily.
Thump!
Zheng Wenchang collapsed onto the sofa.
"Zheng Qian, how is he?" Zheng Wenchang asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.
Long Zeliang replied, "By the time my people arrived, he was already dead."
Boom!
Zheng Wenchang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his face turning deathly pale.
"Mr. Long, didn't you send people to protect him? How could this have happened?" Zheng Wenchang questioned Long Zeliang indignantly.
"Mr. Zheng, that Chen Mo is a Zongshi!"
"Alas!"
"You may not have a concept of what a Zongshi is. In the martial arts world, there are several ranks, much like in Taekwondo. From Wu Zhe to Da Zongshi, they are Wu Zhe, An Jin, Nei Jin, Hua Jin, Wu Shi, Zongshi, and Da Zongshi. Of course, above that is Wu Jue. The secret you hold is related to Wu Jue. It's just that Wu Jue hasn't been active in the world for many years, so everyone has overlooked it. And Chen Mo, he is a Zongshi in the martial arts world!"
"There's a saying: 'When a Zongshi appears, who dares to contend!'"
Zheng Wenchang's face showed a hint of horror. This was the first time he had encountered such information.
"He's actually a Zongshi!" Zheng Wenchang said, his face then showing a look of despair.
"Then how can I avenge my son!"
Seeing the despair on Zheng Wenchang's face, Long Zeliang's lips curved into a slight arc.
He then said, "Mr. Zheng, I also didn't expect this brat to be a Zongshi. The most skilled Master Zhang by my side is also a Zongshi. If you want revenge, a Da Zongshi must take action."
Zheng Wenchang quickly asked, "Mr. Long, do you know a Da Zongshi?"
Long Zeliang replied, "Mr. Zheng might not know, but the most important reason our Long family is a top-tier family is that we have a Da Zongshi!"
Upon hearing Long Zeliang's words, the previously despairing Zheng Wenchang saw a glimmer of hope.
He immediately knelt before Long Zeliang. "Please, Mr. Long, help me avenge my son!"
After speaking, Zheng Wenchang began to kowtow to Long Zeliang.
Long Zeliang quickly reached out and helped Zheng Wenchang up. "Mr. Zheng, there's no need for this."
Zheng Wenchang's face was streaked with tears. "Mr. Long, Zheng Qian is my only son, my life's work. Now that Zheng Qian is dead, how can I not avenge him?! I am willing to pay any price!"
Long Zeliang helped Zheng Wenchang to his feet.
He sighed and said, "Mr. Zheng, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but the main issue is that to have the family's Da Zongshi intervene, I must have the qualification. Otherwise, requesting a Zongshi to act is the extent of my authority as the person in charge of the South China region."
Zheng Wenchang's heart sank.
At this moment, Long Zeliang suddenly said, "However."
"However, what?" Zheng Wenchang quickly asked.
"However, if Mr. Zheng is willing to tell me that secret completely, I believe I will have a way to get the family to intervene and invite a Da Zongshi to deal with Chen Mo and avenge your son."
Zheng Wenchang's expression faltered.
But soon, the hesitation on Zheng Wenchang's face vanished.
He then looked at Long Zeliang and nodded. "Alright, I promise. I will tell you the secret now! But you must guarantee that Chen Mo will be killed."
A subtle smile appeared on Long Zeliang's lips. "Mr. Zheng, rest assured, when I, Long Zeliang, speak, my word is my bond."
Longhua, Mo Family Villa.
Chen Mo's car slowly pulled up to the entrance.
This spot was reserved, and no one dared to park there except for the Mo family patriarch, Mo Chengguo.
The security guard's expression darkened slightly.
However, when the guard walked to the car and saw Chen Mo's license plate, he immediately retreated.
The guard almost forgot that there was another person whose car could be parked there at will – the Mo family's son-in-law, Chen Mo.
He still remembered the previous guard who had been blind to Chen Mo's identity and was subsequently fired by the boss.
He dared not offend this son-in-law of the Mo family.
Chen Mo got out of the car, went to the passenger side, picked up Lin Wan'er, and walked towards the Mo family villa.
"I, I can walk myself," Lin Wan'er said softly, her face flushed crimson, her heart pounding.
She had regained her composure and was no longer as terrified as before.
Chen Mo then realized that Lin Wan'er was not injured, just scared.
He chuckled awkwardly and gently placed Lin Wan'er on the ground.
The guards standing at the entrance were stunned!
Wasn't this their boss's son-in-law? And he was acting so intimately with another woman just now?!
And right in front of their boss's house!
Good heavens, he felt his worldview collapsing.
His boss was Mo Chengguo, a business magnate of Longhua. This young man was too bold.
More importantly, Chen Mo was bringing her into his future father-in-law's home!
As the security guard was in shock, Chen Mo and Lin Wan'er had already entered the villa.
"Brother-in-law!"
At that moment, Mo Jialong ran out of the house, his face beaming with excitement as he approached Chen Mo.
Seeing Mo Jialong emerge, Chen Mo stopped.
The security guard watched with an air of anticipation.
He thought Chen Mo was in trouble this time, as he had been caught red-handed by his own brother-in-law!
The guard watched Chen Mo with schadenfreude.
After all, his own young lady was so beautiful, and this guy dared to flirt with others outside. Such behavior was infuriating.
"Take Wan'er to rest first. I have to go out and handle some matters," Chen Mo instructed.
Mo Jialong quickly responded, "Don't worry, brother-in-law. I will definitely help take good care of your woman."
"Cough cough!"
Chen Mo let out a dry cough, finding the words rather awkward.
Only someone as simple-minded as Mo Jialong could say something like that.
Lin Wan'er's face was so red it looked like it could bleed.
"Wan'er, I'll go find your father first. I'll contact you if I have any news," Chen Mo said to Lin Wan'er, ignoring Mo Jialong.
