Chen Zhiyuan's family's minds buzzed. This was too damn mystical.
Could the dead come back to life?
Wang Xiaoli had personally seen Liu Qin severely injured, her waist twisted, and her thigh bone exposed.
Now she looked like nothing had happened, which made Zhou Xiaoli feel as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
She was so scared she couldn't speak, as was her daughter, Chen Li, with an expression of disbelief.
As for Chen Zhiyuan, he was slightly better. After all, he was a man and had seen more. Besides, he had heard from Yu Zhaoyi about Xia Lin's formidable abilities.
"Alright, then I'll treat you all to a meal you won't forget today," Yu Zhaoyi quickly said.
The suppressed mood had now lifted, bringing a feeling of the clouds parting to reveal the sky, and the moon appearing after the dark clouds.
The group left the hospital in a grand procession. As for the interrogation at the police station, Yu Zhaoyi personally made a phone call and explained the situation.
Now that Liu Qin was fine, it was impossible to hold anyone accountable.
A dangerous situation had passed. Yu Zhaoyi took Old Wang and the others to dinner, mainly to entertain Pu Boqi and Lao Tianhou.
The younger generation, including Xia Lin, returned to the club to play mahjong.
"Everyone, allow me to introduce Chen Li, my girlfriend."
When Yu Wei arrived at the club, he began introducing Chen Li to everyone.
"Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you," Chen Li nodded.
"Fatty Yu has struck gold. If you don't behave in the future, I'll hit you," National Little Wang made a joke.
"The key is we can't ask Fatty Yu to go drinking anymore, it's annoying," Qin Dou shook his head in resignation.
"Get lost."
They bantered back and forth, and Yu Pangzi became anxious.
"Haha..."
Everyone watched the lively group, laughing non-stop. Then, they opened three mahjong tables, playing with great enthusiasm.
The tiles kept clacking against each other.
...........
A courtyard in Yanjing.
Xia Feng had just finished seeing a group of people but hadn't found a suitable candidate yet.
"Xia Feng, since a day on Earth is a year in the Immortal Realm, there's no need to rush Long Aotian to give up his position as group leader. During Long Aotian's absence, the deputy group leader can hold the position," Elder Huang suggested to Xia Feng.
Even if you go to the Immortal Realm for a thousand years, it will only be a little over three years on Earth, so there's no need to worry about any major events happening.
Xia Feng suddenly thought of someone.
How could he have forgotten Murong Tiangu?
If Long Aotian were absent, Murong Tiangu would be the best person to take over.
"I have a candidate, Murong Tiangu," Xia Feng said with a smile.
"You mean the elder currently registered with the Dragon Group?" Elder Li asked.
"Yes, it's him. There's no need to worry about his loyalty. I've seen his face; he's not the type to betray," Xia Feng had already examined Murong Tiangu's physiognomy, otherwise, he wouldn't have placed him in the Dragon Group.
"Since you've said so, let's proceed as you suggested. During Long Aotian's absence from Earth, Murong Tiangu will manage the Dragon Group, and he will be promoted to deputy group leader."
Elder Huang had great faith in Xia Feng's judgment. If Xia Feng said it was fine, then it was definitely fine.
"Alright, let's do that," Xia Feng nodded.
The Dragon Group's affairs were temporarily settled, with no changes. Murong Tiangu simply gained some power.
Murong Tiangu was also Xia Feng's person, which Xia Feng was quite confident about. When Murong Tiangu wanted to go to the Immortal Realm later, he would take him then.
At this moment, Xia Feng's phone rang.
He saw that the call was from Jin Xiaochen. They had exchanged numbers in Yucheng last time.
Furthermore, Xia Feng had sensed that Jin Xiaochen would encounter trouble recently, so he had specifically told her to call him if she needed help. It seemed her trouble had arrived.
"Young Master Xia,"
As soon as Xia Feng answered the phone, Jin Xiaochen called out impatiently.
"What trouble have you encountered?" Xia Feng asked directly.
"Young Master Xia, do you know anyone in Yanjing? I've been held captive by a young master here. He's forcing me to sleep with him, or he'll ruin my reputation. I'm so scared right now. I just found an excuse to go to the restroom to call you," Jin Xiaochen's voice was filled with panic, and she was trembling all over.
When Jin Xiaochen had entered, the other party had clearly stated that if she dared to call the police, her ruin would be far worse than just losing her reputation.
Of course, these threats couldn't affect him as there was no evidence.
Even if there was evidence, he could just claim it was a joke.
They were all people of status, so this was not a big deal.
Therefore, he never liked using force. He preferred to have her willingly submit, to climb onto him and position herself willingly.
That way, it would be more exciting and he wouldn't have any trouble. Threats were just threats; they were not a big deal.
"Don't panic, I'm coming right over," Xia Feng reassured Jin Xiaochen.
"Okay, I'm at..." Jin Xiaochen quickly reported her location to Xia Feng.
As soon as Xia Feng hung up the phone, Elder Li asked, "What's going on?"
"A friend, threatened by a young master to sleep with him," Xia Feng said calmly, but his anger was palpable.
Upon hearing Xia Feng say this, the four elders breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, all their grandsons were by Xia Feng's side. The only one not with Xia Feng, Liu Liwei, was in Shanghai.
"This is outrageous. No matter who is involved, this matter must be investigated to the end," Elder Huang scolded.
"Elder Huang, I'll be going now," Xia Feng said and turned to leave the courtyard.
Long Aotian had been standing by the door. As soon as Xia Feng came out, he followed him.
After finishing the call, Jin Xiaochen felt much more at ease. She slowly walked out of the restroom and sat on the sofa in the living room.
In the main seat of the sofa sat a man around 35 years old. Perhaps due to too much indulgence, his kidneys were weak, leading to hair loss and a receding hairline.
"Finished your call?" the man asked with a smile and a nonchalant attitude.
Jin Xiaochen's expression changed upon hearing this, and she looked at the man with fear.
The man reached behind him, and a bodyguard in black handed him a tablet.
Then, the man brought up the surveillance footage from the restroom and showed it to Jin Xiaochen.
Seeing this, Jin Xiaochen's face turned livid. This was truly beastly! They even had cameras in the restroom. Fortunately, she hadn't gone to the restroom just now.
If she had, there might have been cameras in the toilet bowl too, and everything would have been clearly recorded.
The perversity of the man in front of her was such that he could do anything.
Seeing Jin Xiaochen's grim expression and silence, the man chuckled:
"This is Yanjing. What tricks can a mere actress like you pull? Bring out any savior you have. Tell them my name, and see if anyone dares to come."
