Su Nanyin didn't come.
But her younger daughter and her lover did!
In the eyes of the seven powerful families, Li Qianfan's threat level was three notches higher than that of the viperous beauty.
After all, Su Nanyin's rise to prominence, her position as executive vice president of the Dark Blade, and her audacious schemes in the magic capital were all thanks to her captivating Li Qianfan, who possessed an immense background.
Li Qianfan might be a good-for-nothing—
but his father, grandparents, and mother were formidable.
The second masters of the seven powerful families had personally witnessed the congratulatory visits from the Rhode family, the Moses family, and the Imperial Palace on the day Su Nanyin established her domain in Si Jiu.
Especially Athena from the War God's Temple, who had personally visited the Su family and publicly declared that anyone who dared to offend Li Qianfan would suffer losses to their overseas assets.
Such a boastful good-for-nothing—
Old Master Ma's expression changed, and he sternly questioned his grandson who brought the news, "Is he planning to use his identity as the Young Master of the Dragon Ruins to help his lover trouble my Ma family?"
His grandson shook his head, indicating he didn't know.
Looking at the others.
Chen Er, Zhou Er, Kang Er's mouths were shut even tighter.
The second master of the Yuan family and the head of the Wei family, who had just spoken eloquently to support the Ma family, their eyes darted around rapidly, exchanging glances.
Even the hot-blooded Wei Shifang, and the couple Ma Hongshan, had fear flickering in their eyes.
The name precedes the shadow.
The good-for-nothing young master of the Dragon Ruins was far more formidable than the executive vice president of the Dark Blade.
He was absolutely the type to avoid if possible.
If one had to provoke him—
then one should consider the Si Jiu Miao family that went out of business, and the severely damaged Xu family and Du family, as well as the Tianbei Feng family!
Seeing their morale plummet.
Old Master Ma, wearing a baseball cap, feigned a punch and strode out, his voice filled with grief and indignation, "Even if he's backed by the Dragon Ruins and is the War God's only son, so what? I refuse to believe that in broad daylight, he would dare to destroy my Ma family!"
Yes.
The Ma family disciples present all nodded vigorously.
Ma Hongshan and Wei Shifang, the direct victims of the car accident, regained their spirits and quickly followed Old Master Ma out.
At the main entrance of the Ma family.
A small blue car was parked directly at the gate.
The hundreds of onlookers, realizing that a good show was about to unfold, surged forward to watch, disregarding the obstruction of the special agents.
Wang Jian, who was observing Li Qianfan, was filled with surprise.
He had seen Li Qianfan and Yaoyao as early as midnight.
But he never dreamed their backgrounds would be so formidable!
"No wonder they dared to kill someone on the spot at midnight. The Ma family has truly kicked an iron plate. No, they've kicked a steel plate. Fortunately, I didn't handle the incident with a biased attitude just because the Ma family is a powerful clan. And fortunately, Director Chen arrived in time. Thank you, Director Chen."
As Wang Jian thought of this, cold sweat of lingering fear broke out on his forehead.
Li Qianfan, who had revealed his identity upon arrival, leaned against the car and nodded at Wang Jian before taking out a cigarette.
As he placed one in his mouth.
The stylish female driver who drove him immediately held a lighter with both hands to light it for him.
Well.
That's obedient.
Actually, Li Qianfan didn't care much for the obedience of Vice President Su.
Because this represented that she would also get a share of the mental damages he would extort from the Ma family.
Hoo.
Just as Li Qianfan exhaled a puff of smoke, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from within the Ma family courtyard.
Soon.
A group of people, surrounding a vigorous old man, appeared in his sight.
"Big Brother, he's that viperous beauty's lover, Li Qianfan."
Ma Er, who was closely following Old Master Ma, whispered to Li Qianfan.
As Old Master Ma nodded, he didn't notice the shocked expressions of his son Ma Hongshan and daughter-in-law Wei Shifang behind him!
He slowly walked forward and looked at Li Qianfan, "Your Excellency, are you Li Qianfan, Mr. Li, the eldest son of the Lord of the Dragon Ruins?"
"I am."
Li Qianfan, leaning against the car, did not adopt a respectful attitude towards the elder. He still held a cigarette in his mouth, his arms crossed, looking at Old Ma, "You are Old Ma, who has failed to discipline your son and has even worse educated your grandson?"
Old Master Ma's face changed drastically.
He said sternly, "Li Qianfan! Do you truly believe that by relying on your status as the eldest son of the Lord of the Dragon Ruins, you can help your lover Su Nanyin and arbitrarily target my Ma family in broad daylight?"
Since Li Qianfan was impolite.
Then Ma Benyong had no need to be courteous to him.
He directly cursed him as Su Nanyin's lover in public!
Li Qianfan didn't care at all.
The female bodyguard driving him even less so.
It was Yaoyao who felt that the term "lover" was utterly uncivilized and considered teaching Ma Benyong how to speak with a slap, "Would it kill you to say 'confidante'?"
However, since Li Qianfan didn't give any hint, Yaoyao, considering the imminent fortune, decided to endure it for the time being.
"Arbitrarily? Heh heh."
Li Qianfan sneered and turned to look at Wang Jian, "Uncle Special Agent, and all you onlookers. Firstly, I declare that my visit to the Ma family this time is a private matter! It has nothing to do with Ms. Su Nanyin!"
Wang Jian and the others nodded instinctively.
He could say whatever he wanted.
As long as he didn't resort to violence on the spot, Wang Jian and the others would never intervene.
"Old man."
After clarifying his stance for coming here, Li Qianfan looked at Ma Benyong, "My calling you inept at raising your son and even worse at educating your grandson is simply speaking the truth. Director Wei, Director Ma. Come, come, come, step forward."
With a rustle.
Everyone, including Ma Benyong, instinctively looked up at Ma Hongshan and his wife.
Ma Hongshan and Wei Shifang were both pale and trembling all over.
They never dreamed that the young man and woman they had slandered at midnight were Li Qianfan and Du Junlin!
If they had known their identities earlier, even if the couple Director Wei had eight hundred more guts, they wouldn't have dared to twist the truth.
Li Qianfan stared at them coldly.
And slowly recounted—
"You should know that the car accident at midnight had nothing to do with me."
"Du Junlin and I just happened to meet while strolling on the street at midnight."
"Before you rushed to the scene, it was us who rescued your son from the car and bandaged his wounds."
"After Director Wei arrived at the scene, he became enraged because we used a cloth strip to bandage Ma Qiang's wound, and publicly reprimanded us, saying that if the wound became infected, he would hold us responsible!"
"What surprised me even more was that it was clearly us who saved your son. Before he was put into the car, he actually dared to covet Du Junlin's beauty!"
"Director Wei even personally told Ma Qiang that after he recovered, he would give Du Junlin to him!"
Even though Ma Qiang had already become a minced meatball, Li Qianfan couldn't help but get angry as he thought of the conversation between him and Wei Shifang.
His voice grew louder and louder.
Wei Shifang wanted to quibble.
But Li Qianfan's icy gaze was fixed on her, as if he would pounce on her and strangle her to death if she dared to utter a single word of falsehood.
"You are truly remarkable."
Li Qianfan's tone softened slightly, "But you never dreamed that the person who saved Ma Qiang last night and was repaid with slander would be me, right?"
Crack, crack, crack.
Wei Shifang's teeth were chattering.
Ma Hongshan's legs were going weak.
The hundreds of onlookers saw their state and knew that Li Qianfan's words were true.
Wang Jian secretly shook his head when his phone buzzed.
He took out his phone, saw the caller ID, his expression changed, and he quickly bowed.
Before he could say anything, a man's voice came from the phone, "Your mission is to ensure the safety of everyone outside the Ma family."
What?
My mission today is to ensure the safety of everyone outside the Ma family?
So I don't have to care about the lives and deaths of the Ma family members?
Wang Jian was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to ask something, the call ended.
If it weren't for the fact that he was certain this phone number belonged to a certain bureau chief who had personally appointed him to his position two hours ago, Wang Jian would have suspected someone was "falsely transmitting imperial decrees."
"So, the higher-ups have already abandoned the Ma family."
Wang Jian understood.
When he looked at Ma Benyong again, his eyes held pity.
Ma Benyong, who now knew the truth of the car accident, never imagined that Li Qianfan would be involved, even if he hit his head against a wall a hundred times.
He secretly cursed Ma Hongshan and his wife for being incredibly foolish.
But when Wei Shifang and her husband were so terrified they couldn't utter a sound, Ma Benyong had to step forward.
To confuse the public and link the car accident to Su Nanyin's five-step plan!
"Li Qianfan!"
Ma Benyong shouted loudly, "Do you really think we don't know that Ma Qiang's car accident was a meticulously planned scheme by you and your lover Su Nanyin?"
Li Qianfan retorted, "What was the ultimate goal of our meticulously planned car accident?"
Ma Benyong sneered, "Of course, it was to find an excuse to attack my magic capital Ma family!"
Before his words could finish—
Li Qianfan suddenly lunged forward!
Ma Benyong was shocked.
But before he could react, he heard a crisp snapping sound by his ear.
Immediately after, Ma Hongshan's screams exploded like thunder: "Ah!"
It turned out that Li Qianfan's punch had directly broken Ma Hongshan's left clavicle!
Purely out of instinct, the people who had gathered around Ma Benyong scattered with a rush.
"Li Qianfan has finally made a move!"
Wang Jian's heart pounded as he saw this.
What shocked Wang Jian even more was yet to come.
After Li Qianfan broke Ma Hongshan's left clavicle with a punch, he gestured with his right hand.
Du Junlin, who was standing in front of the car, flicked her wrist—
a thumb-thick, dark green nylon rope flew over.
Li Qianfan caught it without turning his head, and then wound it around Ma Hongshan's neck.
"What are you doing!?"
Ma Hongshan roared.
Li Qianfan answered his foolish question with his actions.
In broad daylight.
In full view of everyone.
Ma Hongshan was hanged from the beam at the entrance of the Ma family!
Just before he was suddenly hoisted up, his larynx had already been cruelly severed by the rope in Li Qianfan's hand!!
The sun shone brightly.
The hundreds of people at the scene, however, were all silent.
The warm wind of the second lunar month blew, causing Ma Hongshan's corpse to sway gently.
"Old man, remember this."
Li Qianfan said coldly, looking at Ma Benyong, "I don't need any excuse to kill people from your Ma family."
