A moment later, the conversation ended.
Xia Taishan said, "Bingqing, we're done talking, you can come in now!"
Xia Bingqing responded and walked in... She wasn't angry about leaving earlier, her face bore her usual faint smile, and she softly called out, "Grandfather!"
Xia Taishan nodded.
Soon, Xia Bingqing noticed Chen Fan. She could tell that Chen Fan was preoccupied, looking like he had something on his mind, but she didn't ask further.
Then, she said, "Grandfather, when did our Xia family gain such a terrifying enemy? Is it one of our family's old foes?"
Hearing this, Xia Taishan frowned and said, "Although our Xia family has offended some people over the years, honestly, we have never offended any martial artists like the one tonight!"
"It shouldn't be your enemy!"
Xia Bingqing nodded in understanding, "Since that's the case, then what exactly happened?"
Xia Taishan's gaze deepened as he pondered, "Qingqing, have you offended anyone recently?"
Xia Bingqing paused for a moment before saying, "I don't think I have!"
"How could this be..."
Mid-sentence, her expression suddenly turned grave.
"The person I might have offended is probably the Xu family from Lingnan!"
"I refused to cooperate with them!"
Xia Taishan nodded, "In this case, the identity of tonight's killer is gradually becoming clear. It's likely someone from the Xu family! And that person's tone clearly carried a Lingnan accent!"
Xia Bingqing frowned, her spirits lifting, "Could it really be them?"
Xia Taishan thought about it and said, "Most likely. Besides them, you shouldn't have any other enemies right now, should you!"
Xia Bingqing shook her head, "No!"
Xia Taishan's expression was solemn, "As I said, it's probably them. From now on, you must be careful of the Xu family!"
"Okay, Grandfather..."
They chatted for a while longer before leaving the Xia family.
The turmoil at the Xia family seemed to have passed.
Soon, Chen Fan sent Xia Bingqing back to the Xia family. Before Xia Bingqing got out of the car, she asked, "You have something on your mind?"
Chen Fan smiled faintly, "It's nothing. Alright, you should go back!"
Xia Bingqing didn't hesitate, got out of the car, and left Chen Fan with his alone time.
Because she could see that Chen Fan was in a bad mood, and if she said too much, it would likely cause him annoyance, which would be counterproductive.
Chen Fan drove, speeding along, or rather, in a different way, to vent his frustration.
Soon, he returned to his rented apartment.
After a fierce release, he finally felt at ease.
Meanwhile, on Xu Lili's side, she received Xu Long, whose dantian had been crippled. He was crying and laughing alternately, appearing deranged and giving off a terrifying aura.
Xu Lili dared not approach Xu Long, but she had no choice. She had to brace herself and say, "Second Uncle, please calm down, we still have a chance!"
"You absolutely cannot give up on yourself!"
"Pull yourself together, okay?"
Xu Long's face was filled with rage, his eyes were bloodshot and crisscrossed with capillaries. He rushed in front of Xu Lili and grabbed her by the neck, roaring, "No... I'm going to kill you right now!"
"You worthless piece of trash!"
"I'll smash your bones to pieces!"
"Ahhh..."
A moment later, Xu Lili's entire face turned blood red, her breathing became rapid, and at the same time, an unprecedented terror surged within her. For a moment, she felt like she was about to die.
She stiffly said, "Why... why are you all standing there, hurry and pull him away!"
