Chapter 734 Wei Family's Coercion
Bang!
Under immense pressure, the masked middle-aged man was as if kicked from the sky, falling to the ground in a sprawling, human-like shape.
He had never encountered anything so bizarre. The man hadn't even made a move, yet his throwing knife landed on the ground.
He had jumped down from the second floor, thinking he could escape using his movement techniques, but he had fallen inexplicably. What was going on?
Could this really be a haunted house?
He had heard the rumors about this villa, but the gradual rise of the Su family had dispelled them. However, what had just happened was too strange.
He couldn't help but shiver.
"Speak, who sent you?"
A voice rang out.
He looked up and saw Chen Xuan slowly walking over, looking down at him with a playful gaze.
The masked middle-aged man suppressed his fear, gritted his teeth, and said, "Kill me then! I won't say anything!"
"Yanhuang Iron Brigade is quite spirited!"
Chen Xuan chuckled faintly upon seeing this.
"We of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade would rather die than surrender..."
The masked middle-aged man's voice cut off midway. He glared at Chen Xuan in anger.
This kid is too cunning...
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes. It seemed his guess was correct.
This guy was from the Yanhuang Iron Brigade!
"Get lost. Whoever sent you, go back now and tell your master that this was all a misunderstanding. Someone is trying to sow discord between the Su family and the Wei family. If you send anyone else, it will be like this tree!"
With that, Chen Xuan unleashed a palm strike. A small tree, as thick as a man's embrace, beside him snapped with a crack.
"This..."
The masked middle-aged man stared at the tree, his face turning green. He looked at Chen Xuan with apprehension.
With his strength, he could achieve this as well, but Chen Xuan had done it from a distance. He himself would have needed to place his palm against the tree. From this alone, he knew he was no match for Chen Xuan.
"I will convey your words to them."
With that, the masked middle-aged man got up from the ground, turned, and left.
Staring at the retreating back of the masked man, Chen Xuan murmured something.
He sighed and turned to head back to his room, but at that moment, Su Yunxi came down from upstairs. "Chen Xuan, you said he was from the Yanhuang Iron Brigade. Is the Wei family trying to deal with you?"
The Wei family controlled the entire Yanhuang Iron Brigade in Jiangnan Province, even mobilizing powerful figures like Grandmasters of Inner Strength. It could only be them.
"Precisely!"
Chen Xuan nodded with a wry smile.
"But Uncle Wei isn't someone who discriminates right from wrong."
Su Yunxi had some understanding of Wei Chang Geng.
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, it could be someone else from the Wei family. After all, Wei Chang Geng isn't in Jiangnan Province."
"Who could it be?"
Su Yunxi frowned.
"We'll likely know soon," Chen Xuan said calmly.
Chen Xuan didn't go to sleep. Instead, he took Su Yunxi to the living room and had someone make tea.
"Chen Xuan, who are you waiting for?" Su Yunxi glanced at Chen Xuan, who seemed ready to welcome guests.
"A guest."
Chen Xuan chuckled.
Chen Xuan's half-spoken words were enigmatic, causing Su Yunxi to frown. "Who would come this late at night?"
"The Wei family!"
"No way?"
As soon as she spoke, a Su family servant rushed over. "Miss, Mr. Wei Chang Zhe, the second son of the Wei family, is here to visit."
"He's really here?"
Su Yunxi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Chen Xuan.
He was right!
"Chen Xuan, how did you know?"
"It's simple. With the Wei family's strength, inviting an Inner Strength Grandmaster was probably their limit, yet they were still defeated by me. You can imagine that the Wei family has no other recourse and must come in person."
Chen Xuan said calmly.
Su Yunxi nodded and then said to the servant, "Please invite them in."
The servant said worriedly, "Mr. Wei the Second is making quite a scene outside, demanding the Su family pay blood for blood! He also said he wants your son-in-law's leg and arm in exchange for the Wei family's eldest daughter. See..."
"Then say I'm resting and will see them another day." Su Yunxi changed her words.
Chen Xuan felt a warmth in his heart. Su Yunxi wanted to protect him.
But looking at the Wei family's demeanor, could they really be turned away?
He said calmly, "Yunxi, let the Wei family in."
"But..."
Su Yunxi looked concerned.
"It's alright, Yunxi. The Wei family's top expert couldn't do anything to me. As long as I don't agree, the Wei family can't do anything to me!" Chen Xuan took a sip of tea.
Su Yunxi thought about it and agreed. She waved her hand and told the servant to bring them down.
The servant turned and left. After two to three minutes, an enraged voice sounded.
"Well done, Su family!"
Before the words fell, a middle-aged man with an imposing presence strode in.
His face was chiseled, and his aura was powerful.
His sharp suit fit him perfectly, and his leather shoes gleamed. Although not a martial arts expert, he was an elite in the business world.
The Wei family ruled with military discipline, so many of them had adopted a military demeanor.
This person was precisely Mr. Wei the Second, Wei Chang Zhe!
Also, Wei Linlin's maternal uncle.
Wei Chang Zhe was in charge of the Wei family's businesses, which were vast and covered various aspects, but primarily focused on the hotel chain business. His businesses spanned across the country. The hotel where Chen Xuan and Wei Linlin had dinner last time was Wei Chang Zhe's property.
At this moment, behind Wei Chang Zhe, besides a few bodyguards, was a middle-aged man who showed a hint of apprehension upon seeing Chen Xuan. This was the same middle-aged man who had attempted to kill Chen Xuan with a throwing knife earlier.
"Uncle Wei... I wonder what brings you here so late? We were already asleep. Can't anything wait until tomorrow?"
Su Yunxi's expression changed, but she remained composed, greeting him with a smile.
Due to the relationship between the Su family and Wei Chang Geng, the two families were on good terms, and Su Yunxi was very familiar with Wei Chang Zhe.
"Yunxi, you still have the mood to sleep?"
Wei Chang Zhe said coldly, "My niece has gone missing because of your Su family, and you still have the mood to sleep? Is this how your father taught you?"
Su Yunxi replied, "Uncle Wei, please don't worry. I've already sent people to search for Linlin's whereabouts. I believe we'll have news soon."
"'News soon'? Even our Wei family couldn't find her, and your Su family can?"
Wei Chang Zhe snorted dismissively.
When it came to searching for people, the Wei family was more capable.
"Uncle Wei, please rest assured, Linlin will be safe and sound."
Su Yunxi knew Wei Chang Zhe was anxious because he was worried about Wei Linlin, so she spoke patiently.
"You also want Linlin to be safe and sound?"
"Of course."
"Good!"
Wei Chang Zhe glanced at Chen Xuan, then fixed his gaze on Su Yunxi and said, "Then have your fiancé sever an arm and a leg as a gesture of goodwill!"
He had initially intended to have others deal with Chen Xuan, but he hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be so powerful. Thus, he came in person to force the Su family to make Chen Xuan sacrifice an arm and a leg in exchange for Wei Linlin.
"No!"
Su Yunxi was stunned and shook her head, refusing.
She wanted to save Wei Linlin, but she absolutely would not use such a method!
