Chapter 299 The Murong Family Suffers an Incident
"Isn't this all for you!" the Dragon Alliance Leader sighed and said irritably.
Long Ziming was slightly stunned. He wasn't foolish and naturally knew the Dragon Alliance Leader's intentions. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad!"
"Don't embarrass me in the future. You must learn true skills from Mr. Chen!" the Dragon Alliance Leader said sternly, instructing him.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely work harder," Long Ziming said confidently.
At the same time, Long Ziming was also very excited.
The Wanyang Martial Arts Hall had announced that they would cause trouble for the Xuanji Hall. Now that his father had gone, who would dare to cause trouble for the Xuanji Hall?
He wished he could call Chen Xuan right now, but he didn't, because he wanted to give Chen Xuan a surprise.
Back at the Divine Doctor Pharmaceutical Industry, Chen Xuan stayed late with Su Yunxi for a while.
Su Yunxi was processing documents while he reviewed some information. Through the intense learning during this period, Chen Xuan had become a qualified professional, though still a distance from being a career elite.
However, with Chen Xuan's current knowledge and abilities, he could definitely manage a small factory.
After work, Chen Xuan whistled as he walked, while Su Yunxi, sitting in the back seat, was still reading documents. Everything felt very warm.
Upon returning to the Green Mist Mountain Villa, Chen Xuan was about to go upstairs when Su Yunxi stopped him.
"Yunxi, is something wrong?" Chen Xuan turned to look at Su Yunxi and found her expression very serious.
"Chen Xuan, there's something I want to talk to you about," Su Yunxi said after a moment of thought.
"What is it? Why are you so serious?"
Saying this, Chen Xuan walked over, sat down on the sofa, and took a bite of a large apple.
"You should know that last time, Xiao Meng got your senior brother's phone number..."
Su Yunxi hesitated, her words not flowing smoothly.
She wasn't very skilled at playing matchmaker.
"Oh? What's wrong?"
Chen Xuan felt a little guilty but remained calm.
Could he have been found out?
No, that card was a black card; it couldn't be traced at all.
Su Yunxi sighed, looking worried. "You probably don't know, but Murong Meng has been calling your senior brother, but your senior brother is very aloof and doesn't even answer his phone. Xiao Meng has been very hurt, as if she's been dumped. She uses work to numb herself every day and has lost over ten pounds."
"You have no idea how pitiful she looked when I last saw her, so thin."
Su Yunxi's brows were filled with gloom and worry.
Chen Xuan touched his nose.
He did receive many calls from Murong Meng, but he had rejected them all.
He had thought Murong Meng had given up long ago, but he didn't expect her to be so persistent and end up like this.
"What do you want me to do?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
In his heart, he thought with bitterness: Yunxi, you don't want me to set up your non-existent senior brother and Murong Meng, do you?
Fortunately, Su Yunxi was understanding. "If possible, let your senior brother meet Xiao Meng. A forced marriage isn't sweet, and I'm not asking your senior brother to necessarily fall for Xiao Meng, but some things need to be clarified in person."
"That's easy. Meeting should not be difficult. I'll call my senior brother later."
Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
This was simple. He just needed to wear a mask, show his face, and clarify things.
Su Yunxi also relaxed.
Murong Meng was her good friend. When she saw her last time, the gaunt look, the sunken collarbones, and the dejected state of mind were still vividly remembered by Chen Xuan.
She could hardly imagine that the normally independent and self-reliant Murong Meng would turn into a modern-day Lin Daiyu.
The next morning, someone called Chen Xuan's black card.
Chen Xuan looked at it and saw an unfamiliar number, but he knew it was Murong Meng's phone number.
Previously, when Murong Meng called him using her phone number, he had blocked it. So, Murong Meng used this number to call him. Chen Xuan had accidentally answered, and by the sound of her voice, he identified it as Murong Meng's phone number.
"Since it's just a meeting, there shouldn't be any problem. I have the mask with me anyway."
Chen Xuan muttered as he stared at the screen, then answered the call.
"You're finally willing to answer my call, that's great, that's great!"
On the phone, a voice, so excited it was on the verge of tears, immediately came through.
"Let's meet. Some things need to be clarified in person," Chen Xuan said, using his internal energy to alter his voice.
"Hurry up and come over! I'm at the Murong family's place. Someone is trying to kill my grandfather!"
Murong Meng was so anxious she was almost crying, shouting into the phone. However, she seemed to be deliberately suppressing her voice, as if speaking louder would attract attention.
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, about to say something, when he suddenly heard a voice from the phone.
"Damn it, you bitch! You dare to call someone! I'll slap you to death!"
"Slap!"
The phone seemed to be thrown to the ground, followed by a messy sound.
Chen Xuan ignored everything else, hung up the phone, and rushed out.
In the car, Chen Xuan put on his mask. From now on, he was no longer Chen Xuan, but... Chen Xuan's senior brother!
At this moment, at the Murong family villa.
The surroundings were in chaos. Several Murong family bodyguards lay on the ground, screaming miserably, unable to get up.
Witnessing the tragic scene before them, the Murong family members, including Old Master Murong, all had ashen faces.
Murong Meng, who stood beside Old Master Murong, had a red and swollen palm print on her slightly bony, pretty face.
Opposite the Murong family stood a dozen or so people, their internal energy surging, all appearing to be martial artists.
The leader was a man in his thirties, dressed in a black, tight-fitting suit. He was tall and had an arrogant expression.
With his hands in his pockets, he pointed at the groaning bodyguards lying on the ground and stared at Old Master Murong with disdain. "Old man, your lineage is truly pathetic. You've accumulated so much wealth, yet you only hire such trash bodyguards. You're truly disgracing the Murong family."
Old Master Murong's face turned ashen with anger.
"Murong Tian, how can you be so rude? In terms of seniority, you should call Old Master 'Grandfather'." a Murong family member said unhappily.
"Grandfather? Does he dare to respond if I call him that?"
Murong Tian chuckled and sneered, "Isn't he just a useless old man who was kicked out of the family? He doesn't even have the talent for martial arts. Does he deserve it?"
"You're going too far!"
"How can you talk about Old Master like that!"
The Murong family members were filled with righteous indignation.
"All of you, shut up! Believe it or not, I'll have your legs broken right now!"
Murong Tian, annoyed by their chatter, glared at everyone and said fiercely.
As their gazes swept over them, the Murong family members flinched as if electrocuted, their lips trembling, not daring to say another word.
Murong Tian observed their expressions and felt disdain. As expected, they were useless people cast out of the family, and they were already intimidated?
Old Master Murong took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. "Murong Tian, what exactly do you want? From the moment I was kicked out of the Murong family for not being able to cultivate, I had already completely severed ties with the Murong family. If you dare to harm them, I'll fight you!"
Murong Tian revealed a playful smile. "Don't worry, I have important business in Jiangzhou. I'm not here to deal with you useless people. Since I'm here, you can't let me come for nothing. I see that your Murong family has developed quite well and has some assets. How about this: transfer eighty percent of your family's assets to my name as pocket money, and I'll protect you in the future, saving you the embarrassment of hiring these trash bodyguards."
"Old man, what do you say?" Murong Tian narrowed his eyes and stared at Old Master Murong, his gaze glinting with greed.
