“Mr. Yuan, don't forget your promise to Qingfeng. You must fulfill it after this matter is successful.”
Just as Yuan Zeping was dispelling his inner worries, Liu Xin suddenly spoke.
This was the reason he had emerged from his seclusion specifically to meet Yuan Zeping.
Years ago, Liu Qingfeng had helped the Yuan family secretly eliminate Su Shirong. The Yuan family had promised to facilitate connections for the Liu and Gu families, appointing Liu Qingfeng as the chief instructor of the Jiangnan police force, but this promise was ultimately not fulfilled.
“Master Liu, there's no need to worry about that. I will definitely fulfill what I promised Master Qingfeng!”
Yuan Zeping guaranteed fervently, then added, “By the way, Master Liu, I recall your family has death warriors, correct?”
“Yes, what of it?”
Liu Xin raised an eyebrow.
For martial arts families like the Liu family with a long heritage, besides passing down martial arts to their descendants, they would also recruit outsiders, teach them martial arts, and ensure their unwavering loyalty to the family.
These disciples, not of the Liu family, not only could not learn the essence of the Liu family's martial arts but also held humble positions. Within the family, they were equivalent to servants, and to outsiders, they were considered death warriors—ready to sacrifice their lives for the family at any moment, a devotion ingrained in their very souls!
“Master Liu, Yuan Qing is dead, Yuan Hao is crippled, and he can no longer continue the family line. The Yuan family, in my branch, is effectively finished! If it’s just about killing that brat named Wuming, it’s not enough to quell my hatred!”
Once Yuan Zeping no longer worried about any unexpected turn of events in Liu Qingfeng's mission to kill Jiang Wuming, he revealed the second purpose of his visit to the Liu family today. “After that brat dies, and once this matter settles down and no one is paying attention to the Su family, I hope the Liu family can provide me with a death warrior!”
“What do you want to do?”
Liu Xin’s heart stirred, and he generally guessed Yuan Zeping’s intention, but he feigned ignorance.
“Exterminate the entire Su family to vent my anger!”
Yuan Zeping narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.
“Mr. Yuan, according to the regulations of the Martial Department, it is a violation for martial artists to attack ordinary people. I believe you are well aware of this. If a Liu family death warrior exterminates the Su family, and the Martial Department investigates, the Liu family will be held responsible.” Liu Xin said with a frown.
“Master Liu, if that death warrior disappears from this world after exterminating the entire Su family, then this matter will have nothing to do with the Liu family! Furthermore, I believe the Liu family must have some covert death warriors, don't you?”
Yuan Zeping stared intently at Liu Xin, his tone extremely firm.
“Mr. Yuan, I can agree to your request, but you should understand that the covert death warriors you speak of are extremely few in number. Each is considered a secret weapon by the major martial arts families, and their depletion is permanent.”
Liu Xin agreed first, then laid out his conditions. “To compensate the Liu family for their loss, in addition to fulfilling your promise to Qingfeng, you must also provide the Liu family with two doses of gene potion and one martial arts cultivation technique!”
“Agreed!”
Yuan Zeping readily agreed. Given the Yuan family's current relationship with the Gu family, fulfilling Liu Xin’s request would not be difficult.
“Buzz…”
This time, as soon as Yuan Zeping finished speaking, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
He took out his phone and saw it was his secretary calling. He apologized to Liu Xin and Liu Qingguang, the father and son, then stepped aside to answer the call.
“Mr. Yuan, someone is spreading rumors detrimental to the Yuan family online, and it's spreading rapidly. I have already sent you the specific news links via WeChat.”
The call connected, and the secretary’s voice clearly reached Yuan Zeping’s ears through the radio, her tone extremely grave.
“I understand.”
Yuan Zeping’s brow furrowed, and he replied in a deep voice before hanging up. He then opened WeChat and saw the two news links his secretary had sent.
“Above the Law, the Yuan Family Controls Everything in Jiangnan!”
Upon seeing the title of the news link, Yuan Zeping’s pupils dilated instantly, and the unease he had suppressed earlier resurfaced and began to climb at an alarming rate.
However, Yuan Zeping was, after all, the future helmsman of the Yuan family and one of the magnates of Jiangnan, having weathered many storms and possessing a strong, resilient heart. He did not betray the unease in his heart, instead calmly clicking on the news link.
Why can the Yuan family trample on the law and be above the law?
Why can the Yuan family control everything in Jiangnan and do as they please?
In this world, is there any fairness left?!
These were the first three sentences of the news content, highly evocative and captivating.
Following these three sentences was an introduction to the Yuan family, including detailed information on all core members, their current units, and positions. It specifically highlighted the Yuan family patriarch, Yuan Guhai, the future successor Yuan Zeping, and Yuan Hao’s information.
Yuan Guhai and Yuan Zeping’s profiles primarily detailed their career progression and positions at various times. Yuan Hao’s information focused on the Yuan Ling Group he controlled, dissecting nearly every aspect of the conglomerate—the Yuan family’s moneybag!
After Yuan Zeping finished reading this information, his brows were almost knitted together, and his expression became even more somber!
However—
When Yuan Zeping saw the content that followed, his heart jolted violently, and his hand trembled, nearly dropping his phone!
This was because the subsequent content focused on two cases.
The first case was about Qin Xiaozhi’s ex-girlfriend, Nie Xiaoqian.
“Six years ago, a girl named Nie Xiaoqian was gang-raped and tortured to death in a hotel by Yuan Hao and his accomplices. However, because Yuan Hao’s father, Yuan Zeping, was the head of the Jiangnan police at the time, the case was ultimately ruled as sudden myocardial infarction…”
This was a brief description of the case.
Following the case description was an attached video.
“Brother, everyone has a fatal weakness, and that scumbag Qin Xiaozhi is no exception. He is indeed full of malice and very cunning, but as long as I hit his fatal weakness, he will definitely go berserk and fight me to the death on the spot!”
“What is his fatal weakness?”
“His first love girlfriend.”
“His ex-girlfriend cried out in agony beneath me, and in the end, she was played to death in bed by my group of hangers-on. If he finds out about this, do you think he’ll explode on the spot? As long as he loses his temper and attacks me, I can legitimately beat him into a crippled dog, and even the Qin family won't have anything to say!”
“You mentioning it made me forget about it. However, when you let him know this information, you cannot leave any evidence behind, or there will be trouble.”
This was the first segment of the video, depicting a conversation between brothers Yuan Qing and Yuan Hao on the top floor of Yuan Ling Club.
Immediately after, the screen flickered, showing a scene of Yuan Hao and Qin Xiaozhi conversing on a cruise ship.
“Qin family trash, I heard your ex-girlfriend died, and the grass on her grave is already several feet high?”
“Is her death related to you?”
“Your ex-girlfriend was a virgin that night. I had a great time, and she passed away peacefully.”
…
Hearing Yuan Hao’s words in the video and seeing his arrogant demeanor, Yuan Zeping’s face turned green with rage, making him wish he could rush to the hotel and slap Yuan Hao to death.
However, compared to his anger, he felt even greater terror—the person orchestrating the release of this news was clearly well-prepared! They intended to strike the Yuan family with the sword of justice!
