“But we have to try! How will we know it’s impossible if we don’t try? Even if it only buys us a little time!” Su Xingchen’s face was full of determination.
“Uncle Yu, please let me go in and try! No matter what the outcome, I’m willing to bear the consequences.”
Yu Qingye was silent for a moment, then nodded. Fine, let it be his personal indulgence. Although his influence was not great, it should be enough to save his life.
Besides, there was someone inside who clearly had a deep connection with him. No matter what, that person wouldn’t just watch someone related to them die here.
Su Xingchen stepped into the room, took a deep breath, and was about to try and persuade them when he saw a face that looked remarkably like his own.
Their identical expressions of shock caused everyone’s gaze to dart back and forth between the two.
Qi Wen opened his mouth and whispered, “Hey, could that really be your biological brother?”
Xing Yuan helplessly covered her forehead. How could her elder brother pick such a timing? However, due to his previous schemes against her, Xing Yuan’s impression of him was far from good. This person, no matter how you looked at him, didn’t seem reliable!
“You, who are you?” Perhaps due to the shock, Su Xingchen’s voice trembled slightly. He had never heard of having any brothers before, so how could this person look so much like him?
“You’re asking me?” Xing Yuan stood up with a displeased tone, preempting Su Xingchen before he could speak again.
Xing Yuan looked at Yu Qingye standing by the side and accused, “Mr. Yu, why did you let an unimportant person in?”
“This…”
“I forced my way in, it’s not Mr. Yu’s fault.” Although Su Xingchen had encountered many difficulties, he still maintained his youthful passion. He didn’t want to implicate innocent people.
Fei Chengwang finally found his target, a sinister grin appearing on his face. “Good! You actually came to my doorstep!”
Su Xingchen looked towards the source of the voice, his expression changing slightly. What a coincidence! All the acquaintances had gathered together.
Fei Chengwang pulled out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Su Xingchen. “Kid, since you’re here, let’s settle our old scores!”
Xing Yuan’s voice was calm. “Warlord Fei, please give me some face. I have something I need to ask him.”
“Who do you think you are? Give you face…”
Before Fei Chengwang could finish, Xing Yuan also drew her pistol and placed it on his head.
“I said, give me some face!”
This seemed to be a signal. As the two drew their weapons, the other people in the room also pulled out their pistols, pointing them at their former enemies. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Su Xingchen was bewildered. He had only wanted to come and have a friendly discussion, how did it turn into this situation?
“Calm down, everyone, calm down!” Yu Qingye had to step in to control the situation, trying to appease one side and then the other.
But these were not people who could be easily dealt with. Who knew if the moment he lowered his gun, he would be shot dead by his enemy? Even if he died, he would drag someone down with him; he couldn’t die so miserably.
Su Xingchen said earnestly, “Harmony brings wealth! Fighting and killing like this is not good, is it? Why not take my advice, lay down your weapons, and turn back from the precipice!”
“Shut up!” Fei Chengwang roared. Wasn’t this situation caused by this brat? How dare he talk about harmony and wealth?
“Hmm?” Xing Yuan twitched the gun in her hand, a silent threat.
Fei Chengwang valued his life and obediently shut his mouth.
“It seems we won’t be able to reach any conclusion today! Why don’t we each go back and discuss it another time!”
Qi Wen sincerely offered his suggestion. This stalemate couldn’t go on forever! Who knew if someone would misfire their gun. If they lost their lives, who would they cry to?
“Yes, yes! Major General Qi is right. We’ll talk again next time!” Yu Qingye quickly expressed his agreement.
He couldn’t afford to offend any of these people. What if someone accidentally died here, and their subordinates came looking for him for revenge? How wronged would he be!
Everyone agreed with this plan, but then, a new problem arose.
“You put it down first!”
“Old man, why aren’t you putting it down first! Do you want to shoot me when I’m not paying attention? I’m telling you, I’m not that easily fooled.”
Without warning, two people started arguing. Yu Qingye’s head was about to explode.
Xing Yuan suggested, “How about this! We’ll go down first, and after we see our people, we’ll retreat at the same time. What do you all think?”
The few people exchanged glances and temporarily reached a consensus.
Su Xingchen said with anticipation, “What about me? I don’t need to, right! Big brother, please put your gun down!”
“Dream on!” Fei Chengwang looked at Su Xingchen with contempt. After speaking, he couldn’t help but glance at Xing Yuan on the other side. Seeing that she had no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xing Yuan smiled gently and said, “You have to come with me! There are some things to discuss. If there are no problems, I naturally won’t make things difficult for you!” Of course, she would never let him go, otherwise, it would be a waste of her trip today.
Su Xingchen did have doubts in his heart, so he readily agreed. In front of so many people, could a famous warlord really deceive him?
As soon as they reached the bottom, the people who had been on high alert immediately drew their weapons and aimed them at the surrounding people, unsure if they were friend or foe.
“Go!” None of them wanted to linger. While guarding against attacks from others, they swiftly got into their cars.
After confirming their safety, they didn’t forget to fire a few shots at the people opposite them.
They were not eager to fight. Their subordinates quickly drove them away from the place.
As soon as Su Xingchen got into the car, he was stuffed into a sack by the person beside him!
“Behave yourself. I’ll untie you when we get there!” Xing Yuan threatened coldly.
This troublesome guy! If it weren’t for their blood relation and the original owner’s wish, she really wouldn’t want to bother with this fellow.
Su Xingchen let out muffled sounds. After struggling a few times unsuccessfully, he chose to lie flat.
As Su Xingchen was dozing off, he felt himself being carried down. Not long after, his vision was restored.
Feng Nianxing looked at Su Xingchen with great excitement and suddenly hugged him.
“Uncle, although I know I’m incredibly charming, enough to make flowers bloom and people fall in love, you don’t have to be so enthusiastic!” Su Xingchen couldn’t help but quip.
He had been sensitive to danger since he was young. He clearly felt that this person not only had no ill intentions towards him but was also kind. His expression unconsciously relaxed a little.
Feng Nianxing’s lips stiffened, and he stepped back a little. What a familiar scent! He used to be very sad that Xing Yuan didn’t take after her father. Now, seeing someone who resembled his friend in personality, he felt a bit unaccustomed.
After all, his friend was known for her sharp tongue.
