Xun_1 Everyone heard the voice and turned their heads in unison to look.
They saw a group of people dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, almost more than twenty individuals of men, women, old and young, walking towards them.
The one who had just spoken was a member of Yifan Security, the accompanying protective guards.
The Xu Family and Ma Family members all showed puzzled expressions because they didn’t recognize these people.
However, Xu Xuanqiang, Xu Xuanhao, Ma Yitai, and others changed their expressions.
At their level, they had naturally heard of the Lu family from Zhonghai City, one of the top-tier influential families there.
But they had no idea why Lu Chennong and his entourage were here at this time.
They feared it wasn’t for anything good.
The security team member continued to shout loudly, “The head of the Cui Family from Zhonghai City, owner of the Longjun Freestyle Combat Gym, Mr.
Cui Fului, has arrived!”
“Honorary Dean of the Medical College at Zhonghai City University, President of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association in Longhu Province, Elder Lin Yaoshi, has arrived!”
“Honorary Advisor for Zangyu Tower of Zhonghai City, Honorary President of Yan Country Archaeological Association, Elder Wang Fangtong, has arrived!”
“…”Just hearing the names announced by the security member, anyone picked at random was no ordinary person.
Not to mention in Zhonghai City, even on a national level, they were considered to have significant status.
Yet now, so many important figures had come to the Xu Family, and no one knew what it was about.
Lu Chennong and others were walking over with smiles on their faces, their gazes sweeping through the crowd as if they were looking for someone specifically.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt even more puzzled.
“Uncle Lu, Uncle Cui, Elder Lin, Elder Wang…
over here!”
Just then, a sudden voice rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Xu Yunji.
Ma Yitai, Xu Xuanqiang, and others’ expressions immediately darkened.
Upon seeing Xu Yunji, the smiles on the faces of Lu Chennong and others became even brighter.
Xu Xuanqiang gave the Second Elder a meaningful glance.
The Second Elder immediately stepped forward and made a stopping gesture in front of Lu Chennong and the others, saying loudly, “Gentlemen, I’m really sorry, our Xu Family is currently holding a family meeting.
So please go to the guest lounge to wait for now, and we will discuss matters with you after we conclude our meeting.”
Behind him, several burly bodyguards with unkind expressions were glaring at Lu Chennong and his entourage, their attitude was that they were ready to get physical if the other party did not step back.
Lu Chennong, with his hands behind his back, didn’t even look directly at the Second Elder but spoke arrogantly, “Who are you?
Your status does not match mine; I can’t be bothered to waste words with you.
We have come here today to visit the head of the Xu Family.”
After speaking, he continued to walk forward.
Xu Xuanyi was completely confused.
Although he knew Lu Chennong, it was just a mere acquaintance; in total, the words they had exchanged did not even amount to ten sentences, and to speak of any friendship, that was completely out of the question.
Yet now, Lu Chennong had specifically named him for a visit, which made no sense at all.
“Mr.
Lu, please stop!” Second Elder called out sharply.
Almost simultaneously, the bodyguards behind him stepped forward, their hands reaching into their chests, as if they were about to draw the weapons hidden inside.
“Get lost!” Lu Chennong’s face turned angry.
Before his voice even fell, several figures had darted out from behind him.
Thump thump thump…
The sounds of punches landing on flesh rang out; the bodyguards didn’t even have the chance to react before they were sent flying.
The ones who had initiated the attack were members of the Yifan Security team.
These security team members, though not yet at the Grandmaster Realm, had reached the later stages of Qi Drawing or were at a complete level.
To deal with these ordinary bodyguards from the Secular World was all too easy.
“You…” The Second Elder looked at the scene in shock, pointed at Lu Chennong and his people, his lips trembling, yet he couldn’t utter a word.
The nerves of Ma Yitai and Xu Xuanqiang became even more tense, and their expressions worsened.
?????.??
However, they also could not say anything, only pondering in their hearts, what to do next.
After knocking a few bodyguards out of the way, the group encountered no further obstacles and arrived in front of everyone.
Xu Yunji greeted them with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries with Xu Yunji, Lu Chennong greeted Xu Xuanyi with a clasped hands and said, “Brother Xu, since our last parting, it has been several years since we’ve met.
I hope you’ve been well.”
Xu Xuanyi returned the gesture with clasped hands, puzzled, “I don’t know why Brother Lu has come this time…”
Before Lu Chennong could explain, Xu Xuanhao stepped forward and said coldly, “Mr.
Lu, since you have just arrived, you may not be aware of what has happened here.
Let me explain it to everyone now.”
“Now, Xu Xuanyi is no longer the head of our Xu Family.
If you are looking for the head of the Xu Family, you can wait a little, as we are about to elect a new one right away.”
Black Dragon chuckled coldly, looking at Xu Xuanhao, and said coolly, “I’m sorry, but no matter who the head of your Xu Family is, we only recognize Mr.
Xu Xuanyi.”
“You…” Xu Xuanhao’s expression turned ugly.
Black Dragon snorted coldly, too lazy to pay any more attention to him.
Cui Fului also stepped forward, clasped hands with Xu Xuanyi, and said with a smile, “Brother Xu, on behalf of the Cui Family, I send you greetings.”
Xu Xuanyi hurriedly returned the gesture, “You are too kind, Brother Cui.”
But his mind was filled with even more confusion.
If he and Lu Chennong were acquainted, he had never met Cui Fului at all.
Of course, he knew who Cui Fului was, having often watched a martial arts competition program where he had seen Cui Fului’s name.
In terms of status and position, Cui Fului was not any lower than him, Xu Xuanyi, and was even arguably greater.
At this moment, Xu Yunji stepped forward and explained to Xu Xuanyi in a low voice, “Father, these people are all friends of your son-in-law, or partners of some sort.”
Hearing Xu Yunji’s explanation, Xu Xuanyi finally realized the situation.
Immediately after, Lin Yaoshi and others also came forward to exchange greetings with Xu Xuanyi.
Lu Chennong turned around, his gaze sweeping over Xu Xuanqiang and the others, he said coldly, “We came here to offer our congratulations, but we did not expect to encounter such an incident.
It is truly regrettable.”
“As a friend of Brother Xu’s son-in-law, I naturally cannot sit idly by.”
“The Lu family has some assets in Zhonghai City.
I am willing to form a cooperative relationship with the Xu Family, mutually beneficial to both sides.
Of course, any specific cooperative matters, I will only discuss with Mr.
Xu Xuanyi and no one else.”
Upon hearing this, everyone from the Xu Family was astonished.
The Lu family, being the wealthiest in Zhonghai City, are hardly small in assets.
Their family business even ranks among the top few nationwide.
If their Xu Family could work with the Lu family, this behemoth, the boost to their family would be immeasurable.
The faces of the Xu Family members looked at each other, tempted.
However, they also noted the emphasis of Lu Chennong’s statement, which was that they must negotiate with Xu Xuanyi.
That is to say, if someone else became the head of the Xu Family, the cooperative agreement naturally would not hold.
Xu Xuanyi felt as if he were in a dream.
However, he quickly gathered himself and said with a smile, “I am honored that Brother Lu looks upon our Xu Family favorably enough to consider cooperation.
If our two families work together, it would be a boon beyond what the Xu Family could ask for.”
The Ma Family supported Xu Xuanqiang.
However, now another supporter, Lu Chennong, came in favor of Xu Xuanyi, pulling the situation back to equilibrium.
It’s important to note that Lu Chennong wasn’t alone in his arrival.
Following Lu Chennong, Cui Fului and others also came forward, expressing their willingness to collaborate with the Xu Family in any aspect, the condition being that Xu Xuanyi remained the head of the family.
The current situation was clear, even to a fool.
