“Grandpa, please calm down…”
“Get out!”
“…”
Wang Fei stopped speaking and steered his wheelchair out.
“Master…”
The old butler called out, wanting to intercede for Wang Fei.
“Shut up!”
Wang Xuedao’s glare silenced the old butler.
Wang Fei shook his head helplessly, forcing a bitter smile, his expression complex.
The wheelchair continued to roll out.
“If you walk out of this house today, you are no longer my grandson, Wang Xuedao. My Wang family will have no descendant like you!”
Just as Wang Fei reached the door, Wang Xuedao’s roar, like that of an old lion, came from behind.
Wang Fei paused, completely stunned.
Didn’t you tell me to get out? Why are you saying this now? Do you want me to leave or not?
Wang Fei’s electric wheelchair felt utterly bewildered…
At this moment, the old man’s voice came from behind him again: “As long as you take back what you just said, I will pretend nothing has happened.”
Hearing this, Wang Fei sneered. Grandpa was still Grandpa, stubborn and arrogant!
Wang Fei felt that staying was meaningless. Although he had lost the will to live, escaping a collapsing building was almost a normal person’s instinctive reaction.
“I merely stated my judgment, and I believe in my judgment. Therefore, I will not retract my words.”
Wang Fei was also a stubborn person. If you tell me to leave, I’ll leave for you to see… Change my conviction? That’s impossible!
“Get out, get out!”
Wang Xuedao, furious, picked up another teacup and threw it at Wang Fei.
*Splat—*
The teacup hit someone, but it wasn’t Wang Fei.
“What’s going on, Old Wang? Why are you so angry?”
The one hit was a portly old man with kind eyes and a naturally smiling face.
“Oh? Isn’t this Mr. Tang? What are you doing here?”
The kind-faced old man’s expression changed instantly upon seeing Wang Fei.
“Hello, Grandpa Zheng!”
Wang Fei greeted the old man with a smile. He had already decided to stay away from all the trouble and no longer intended to use the identity of Tang Fei.
“Hello, Grandpa Zheng?”
The kind-faced old man looked confused. He had only met Tang Fei, the big shot of the capital’s underworld, once.
Their acquaintance was far from the point where he could be called ‘Grandpa Zheng’.
He was Zheng Tianpeng, the helmsman of the Zheng family, one of the five major families in the capital. Not just anyone could call him Grandpa Zheng.
A gangster boss clearly didn’t have that qualification.
As Zheng Tianpeng was in doubt, Wang Fei smiled and explained, “Grandpa Zheng, it’s me, Xiao Fei!”
“Xiao Fei?”
Zheng Tianpeng’s brows furrowed even deeper. “I know you’re Xiao Fei, Tang Fei!”
“No, I’m Wang Fei, Grandpa Zheng.”
“Wang Fei?”
This time, Zheng Tianpeng’s eyes widened exaggeratedly. He slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, “Good heavens, I finally figured it out, it’s you, kid!”
“What’s wrong? Did you anger your grandpa again?”
Zheng Tianpeng asked in a low voice, winking at Wang Fei, showing no elderly dignity.
“Uh…”
Just as Wang Fei was about to explain, he heard Wang Xuedao say coldly, “Old Zheng, don’t bother with him. This kid is no longer a descendant of my Wang family. Let him get out!”
“Old Wang, look at you. How old are you, and you’re still so impulsive? Are you planning to take this fiery temper of yours to the grave?”
Zheng Tianpeng personally pushed Wang Fei’s wheelchair back to Wang Xuedao.
“Hmph, this kid boosts others’ morale and dampens our own. He’s unworthy of being a descendant of my Wang family!”
Wang Xuedao grunted and turned his head away.
Inwardly, he was secretly relieved that Old Zheng had arrived in time. Otherwise, with their stubborn temperaments, their grandfather and grandson might have ended up estranged forever.
“Old Wang, what exactly happened to make you so angry? Tell me, and I’ll be the peacemaker…”
Zheng Tianpeng asked with a smile, his demeanor kind and benevolent.
Wang Xuedao did not hide anything, explaining the entire incident.
He had called Zheng Tianpeng over precisely to deal with Li Ziqing together.
After listening, Zheng Tianpeng smiled at Wang Fei and said, “Xiao Fei, this is where you’re wrong. The grudges between our five major families and the Li family have existed for a long time. Even if we old folks are willing to bow and apologize, do you think that girl from the Li family will easily forgive us?”
Compared to Wang Xuedao’s attitude, Zheng Tianpeng’s expression was much gentler… although they both meant the same thing.
Wang Fei sighed and said, “Grandpa Zheng, I understand what you and Grandpa are saying. It’s just that the young man named Chen Xiao beside Li Ziqing is too powerful. Fighting him is like throwing an egg against a rock.”
“See? This kid is again boosting others’ morale and dampening our own. Old Zheng, tell me, was I wrong to be angry?”
Wang Xuedao started grumbling again, looking to Zheng Tianpeng for judgment.
“Alas, Old Wang, don’t rush. In fact, Xiao Fei’s worries are not unfounded. I’ve heard of that kid Chen Xiao, and he is indeed very strong.”
“Old Zhao and Old Li have both suffered greatly at his hands. Why haven’t they sought revenge? Isn’t it because they fear his strength?”
“Moreover, with his own power, he caused so much trouble for those Japanese devils that they couldn’t rest. Such strength is truly explosive on a global scale.”
Zheng Tianpeng seemed to know Chen Xiao very well.
“Old Zheng, why are you saying that too?”
Wang Xuedao’s eyes bulged with anger, clearly dissatisfied with his old friend’s words.
“Don’t get angry yet, listen to me!”
Zheng Tianpeng said, “Although that kid is strong, the biggest mistake he made, the most unforgivable one, was coming to the capital to cause trouble. The capital is the territory of our five major families!”
“Our five major families are united, and our foundation is as strong as a medium-sized country!”
“Xiao Fei, although that kid is formidable, he is not qualified to fight our five major families!”
“No matter how strong the Monkey King was, wasn’t he suppressed by the Buddha for five hundred years? He simply doesn’t understand the foundation of our five major families in the capital!”
“Old Li and Old Zhao have been waiting for an opportunity to take that kid’s life. As for the Song family, Song Anbang’s bones are barely cold, and Song Kaijiang also hates that kid to the core!”
“Therefore, we have the advantage of time, place, and human relations. Even if that kid is truly the Monkey King, our five major families can crush him with one palm, leaving him unable to stand!”
Zheng Tianpeng’s expression remained kind and benevolent, but his eyes revealed a condescending demeanor.
Hearing this, Wang Xuedao’s blood boiled. He pointed at his grandson and said, “You, kid, listen carefully to what your Grandpa Zheng said. Don’t belittle yourself anymore. Our five major families are not to be trifled with!”
