Chapter 274 Sealed?
Chen Xuan took a step forward.
Gu Jianxiong turned to look at Chen Xuan, his eyes narrowed, and a sharp glint shot out of them. "Who are you?"
Before Chen Xuan could speak, Huang Wenshan said with venom, "Director Gu, he is the one behind Xuanji Hall. He also has another identity: a live-in son-in-law of the Su family."
His gaze towards Chen Xuan carried a hint of coldness. If it weren't for Chen Xuan, he, Huang Wenshan, wouldn't have sold his martial arts hall and become a laughingstock of Jiangzhou martial arts.
He hated Chen Xuan to the bone!
"He's just a live-in son-in-law, he's nothing in front of me," Gu Jianxiong said with a flicker of disdain, speaking without regard.
"That's right, how can he compare to you? You are a director of the Martial Alliance, and countless martial arts halls and forces have to cater to your whims," Huang Wenshan flattered.
"Kid, scram quickly, or I'll charge you with obstructing official business!" Gu Jianxiong glared at Chen Xuan and threatened.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and argued, "Director Gu, our Xuanji Hall has not officially opened yet. According to the rules, even without an operating permit, you cannot investigate and deal with our Xuanji Hall, right?"
"Go to hell with your rules! My word is the rule. Do you dare to refute me? Believe it or not, with one word from me, your Xuanji Hall will never be able to obtain a permit!" Gu Jianxiong said coldly.
"I really don't believe it."
Chen Xuan's expression turned grim.
This Gu Jianxiong was clearly here to pick a fight deliberately!
"I'll let you see."
Gu Jianxiong did not expect Chen Xuan to be so tough.
It was good that he was tough; he loved dealing with tough nuts the most.
So, he picked up his phone and made a call. After a few words, he hung up and said to Chen Xuan with a half-smile, "Kid, aren't you very tough? Let's see how tough you can be!"
Soon, Hei Hu received a phone call, and his face immediately turned pale. "Mr. Chen, the operating permit applied for by our Xuanji Hall has been rejected."
"Gu Jianxiong, was this your doing?"
Chen Xuan immediately understood what was going on, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
This Gu Jianxiong was too lawless!
Gu Jianxiong chuckled smugly. "So what if it was me? Kid, aren't you very tough? Now I'll give you a chance. If you kneel and beg me, I might consider issuing your operating permit in three years!"
Huang Wenshan laughed heartily, "Mr. Chen, stop being stubborn and kneel down quickly. No matter how capable you are, how strong your abilities are, compared to the authorities, you are nothing."
"You are going too far!"
Hei Hu shouted, and the staff of Xuanji Hall were also very angry and swarmed over.
"Do you want to be blacklisted by the Martial Alliance?"
Gu Jianxiong had seen such scenes many times. He was not afraid at all, his gaze like lightning, sweeping over them coldly!
With a sweep of his gaze, everyone's hands and feet turned cold, and their faces turned ashen.
The Martial Alliance had immense power. If the Martial Alliance blacklisted them, they would not only have a hard time in Jiangzhou but also elsewhere.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan's expression turned slightly cold. These people from the Martial Alliance were truly overbearing.
"Have you considered it?"
Gu Jianxiong saw everyone's expressions and revealed a look of disdain. He turned to stare at Chen Xuan, smug, as if he could already see Chen Xuan kneeling.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan said coldly, "I think it's you who should be kneeling!"
"Chen Xuan, you dare to insult Director Gu, you are truly too arrogant!"
Huang Wenshan cursed, then turned to Gu Jianxiong and said, "Director Gu, this fellow is being disrespectful to you. Seal up his Xuanji Hall!"
Gu Jianxiong's eyes turned cold. "Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Saying that, he waved his hand, and a group of people with sealing tape were about to seal Xuanji Hall.
Hei Hu and the others were unwilling and wanted to go forward to stop them, but Chen Xuan stopped them.
"Mr. Chen, Xuanji Hall has not opened yet. If it gets sealed, all the reputation we've built will be wasted!"
Hei Hu was very unwilling, his teeth clenched, his body trembling slightly.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to erupt, he suddenly saw a figure walking from a distance. The coldness on his face disappeared, replaced by a playful smile. "Hei Hu, don't worry. I'll make him take down the seal exactly how he puts it up later."
Hei Hu was stunned, looking unconvinced.
Gu Jianxiong was notoriously corrupt. After taking money, he would do anything. Would Gu Jianxiong personally take down the sealing tape?
How was that possible?
Gu Jianxiong sneered, "I'll take down the seal for you? I'd smash your Xuanji Hall down!"
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out!
"Gu Jianxiong, you weren't this arrogant when you were licking my father's feet, were you?"
This sentence struck Gu Jianxiong like a thunderclap, and his whole body stiffened!
The next moment, he turned mechanically. He saw a young man in black combat attire walking quickly towards them, and his face immediately turned pale.
"Who are you? How dare you call Director Gu by his name! I think you don't want to live."
Huang Wenshan said coldly, but seeing the young man's extraordinary attire, he didn't dare to be too arrogant.
"Shut up!"
Gu Jianxiong slapped Huang Wenshan across the face and almost gritted out the words from between his teeth, "This is our Martial Alliance Leader's son, Young Master Long Ziming!"
"Ah?"
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Huang Wenshan's forehead. He swallowed hard and bowed repeatedly. "Young Master Long, I really didn't know it was you. I'm truly sorry for what just happened."
"Hmph!"
Young Master Long gave Huang Wenshan a glare and snorted.
Normally, he would have dealt with Huang Wenshan severely, but today he had important matters to attend to.
"Young Master Long, what are you doing here?" Gu Jianxiong frowned.
Long Shaoming didn't even bother to acknowledge Gu Jianxiong. He knelt down in front of Chen Xuan with a plop!
This scene completely stunned Gu Jianxiong and Huang Wenshan.
Young Master Long was someone who feared nothing. He even dared to challenge the son of the Jiangzhou Mayor, yet now he was kneeling before someone?
Hei Hu and the others were also greatly surprised, not expecting such a situation at all.
"Mr. Chen, I know I was wrong, and we wrongly accused you. Just after you left, my father encountered many strange and evil things. Although my father had the protective jade talisman you gave him and even smashed the statue of Guan Yu, he still encountered some peculiar things. Please save my father."
Long Shaoming faced Chen Xuan, his expression extremely sincere.
"That shouldn't be the case. Tell me what happened," Chen Xuan asked with a frown.
Logically, with that protective talisman and smashing the statue of Guan Yu, there should be no problem.
Long Shaoming quickly explained, "At first, we thought the protective jade talisman was fake, so we threw it into the trash. Afterward, we encountered many evil things. We quickly went to the trash to retrieve the protective jade talisman and also smashed the statue of Guan Yu. The evil things decreased, but there were still some minor peculiar occurrences. Please, Mr. Chen, guide us."
Chen Xuan realized what had happened and said irritably, "That's because you threw the protective jade talisman into the trash. The talisman became contaminated with filth, so its effectiveness was greatly reduced, and it couldn't suppress the malevolent energy."
Long Shaoming's face immediately turned embarrassed. "It's all my fault that our Long family didn't believe you. Mr. Chen, could you bestow another protective jade talisman upon our Long family!"
Chen Xuan looked troubled. "I'm afraid I can't right now."
Long Shaoming's heart leaped into his throat. "Mr. Chen, why can't you?"
Chen Xuan pointed at the sealed Xuanji Hall and then looked at Gu Jianxiong. "Our Xuanji Hall has not opened yet, and this Director Gu came to investigate our operating license. He even ordered our operating license to be withheld."
"I still need to have a good discussion with this Director Gu about this matter. I really don't have time to make protective jade talismans. Young Master Long, please excuse yourself."
