Yuan Qingzi looked at the dagger in the black-clothed man's hand.
Trembling.
Her heart pounded…
"Whatever you want, I can give it to you!"
"And the Yuan family has the capability to do so!"
"Please!"
"Put that knife down!"
The black-clothed man sneered, raising his hand and placing the knife against Yuan Qingzi's neck.
"How about this?"
At this moment, Yuan Qingzi wished she were dead.
Wasn't this tormenting her?
It was too painful!
"I..."
Yuan Qingzi's words caught in her throat, and she swallowed them back in helplessness.
"Please!"
The black-clothed man asked again, "The esteemed eldest daughter of the Yuan family, coming all the way to Lin City alone, what is your purpose!"
As he spoke, the dagger was placed at Yuan Qingzi's neck, full of menace.
"I... I came to find someone!"
The black-clothed man said, "Find someone?"
He smiled mockingly, his tone not entirely convinced.
Yuan Qingzi nodded, "Yes... I came to find someone!"
"I really came to find someone!"
"Please, you must believe me!"
The black-clothed man made a gesture of understanding and added, "For a young lady like you to personally come looking for someone? Doesn't that seem a bit unreasonable?"
"This..."
Yuan Qingzi sighed in resignation and replied, "The person I'm looking for is not ordinary, so I had to find them myself!"
The black-clothed man nodded as if he understood, "Interesting!"
"Tsk tsk!"
Yuan Qingzi felt that the black-clothed man before her knew something, yet also knew nothing.
In any case, he was very mysterious.
The black-clothed man stared at Yuan Qingzi again, then suddenly struck with a palm.
This strike was powerful and heavy, and Yuan Qingzi immediately fainted.
Her head lolled.
The black-clothed man remained expressionless, and after a moment, he let out a light sigh.
Hoo…
Have the Yuan family members started investigating the Young Master?
Or has some wind leaked out?
The black-clothed man slowly removed his mask.
It was Uncle Chen Ming!
His entire aged face was etched with a layer of worry…
He naturally knew about the Yuan family; they were once one of the Chen clan's pawns.
The Yuan family's rise to prominence as a leading family in the capital was inseparable from the Chen clan's support.
To put it plainly, the Yuan family was the Chen clan's chess piece in the secular world.
In other words, this chess piece had started to move…
This meant that the Chen clan members had also started to move?
Chen Uncle Ming muttered to himself.
He reckoned it was highly probable!
It seemed the Young Master's exposure was not far off…
The Yuan family was a harbinger!
Perhaps, the Yuan family was just the beginning!
Thinking of this, Chen Uncle Ming adopted a posture as if facing a formidable enemy!
He did not harm the young lady of the Yuan family.
After knocking her unconscious, he left directly!
As night fell, he secretly arrived at Chen Fan's rented apartment.
As soon as he arrived, Chen Fan noticed and said directly, "Show yourself… there's no need to hide!"
"Alright… alright!"
He walked out.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
Chen Uncle Ming was extremely respectful.
Chen Fan did not give Chen Uncle Ming a pleasant look, "You old scoundrel, can't you understand what I'm saying?"
"I told you, don't show yourself, don't show yourself recently!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Uncle Ming looked somewhat embarrassed but still said, "Young Master, I believe this matter is of great importance! You need to know!"
Chen Fan let out a cold snort, "In your eyes, probably nothing is a minor matter!"
"Ah, this..."
Chen Uncle Ming was somewhat awkward.
He stood frozen in place.
"Alright, hurry up and speak!"
"Finish speaking and get out of here quickly!"
"Yes..."
Chen Uncle Ming quickly explained his suspicions…
