Chapter 997 Inquiry

Chen Fang’s palm rested on the coffee table.

His five fingers brushed against the surface…

The next second, a surge of immense power erupted from his palm.

In an instant, the entire coffee table shattered into a pile of debris.

One could tell how terrifying the lethality contained within this palm strike was.

Seeing this, Xia Taishan’s old face also showed a look of horror.

He stood frozen in place.

If this palm strike had landed on a person, one could imagine what their fate would be.

Thinking of this, his heart began to race.

He stammered, “I… I’ve told you the truth, every word. If I’ve lied to you, then this table is my fate!”

Chen Fang didn’t say much at this point, nodding, “Hmm, hmm… That’s more like it!”

“Alright, since that’s the case, that’s all for today!”

“We’re leaving!”

Xia Taishan, with a subservient demeanor, said, “Then… then allow me to see you out!”

Chen Fang and Chen Xuan refused in unison, “No need!”

“Then… then alright!” Xia Taishan nodded.

The Chen clan members did not act ruthlessly against the Xia family. It was either because of Chen Fan or perhaps there was an element of unwillingness involved.

They had all witnessed Chen Fan’s strength with their own eyes; it was unfathomable, and they dared not offend him.

If they had harmed anyone from the Xia family, Chen Fan would definitely not have let them off. All of this was interconnected.

Chen Fang spoke to Xia Taishan in a relatively polite manner, “Patriarch Xia, we have troubled you!”

Xia Taishan nodded.

He sighed inwardly, feeling relieved.

Finally, he had managed to get these powerful individuals to leave.

However, to be fair, some of what Xia Taishan had said was true. As the saying goes, truth mixed with falsehood leaves no trace.

Chen Fang and Chen Xuan walked out of the Xia residence.

Chen Fang said, “What do you think about what Xia Taishan just said?”

Chen Xuan pondered, “It should be true!”

“He didn’t seem like he was lying!”

Chen Fang mused, “If it’s true, then Chen Fan has a mysterious expert behind him!”

“And this expert’s strength is terrifying!”

“Think about it, Chen Fan’s own strength is already so terrifying!”

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, “Does that also mean that Chen Fan has no connection to our Chen clan to begin with? Were we overthinking it?”

Chen Fang replied, “It’s not impossible!”

Chen Xuan asked, “Then what do we do next?”

What to do?

To be honest, Chen Fang was also a bit unsure.

He sighed.

He let out a long sigh inwardly.

After a moment, Chen Xuan said, “Forget it, let’s not overthink. Let’s just tell the truth!”

“This trip to Lin City, for us, isn’t of much significance!”

“Yes!”

These two arrived quickly and left just as quickly, quite mysteriously.

On Xia Taishan’s side, after he had recovered, he recounted everything that had happened at the Xia family to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan listened, his expression calm, and said faintly, “Alright, I understand!”

“Are you alright?”

Xia Taishan shook his head, “I’m fine!”

“However, judging by their demeanor, those people are quite mysterious and likely have extraordinary identities!”

Chen Fan already knew who they were – members of the Chen clan.

Chen Fan smiled and said, “Don’t worry about their affairs, I’ll handle it myself!”

It was better to avoid trouble. The less the Xia family knew, the safer they would be.

Chen Fan’s silence was also for their protection.

After all, he did have a connection with the Chen clan, but now, under his scheme, he had distanced himself from them…
