Chapter 575: Chapter 574 Sun Chaoyi Bows Down
"You... are you sure it’s the Qin Family from Imperial City?" Sun Chaoyi stared at Hu Lizhong and asked.
Hu Lizhong sneered inwardly, but said aloud, "Yes, if it wasn’t for the Qin Family from Imperial City, I wouldn’t have pulled you aside to talk in private. Speaking of which, I once had a bit of a relationship with an elder from your Sun Family, otherwise, I wouldn’t have told you all this."
Sun Chaoyi looked at Hu Lizhong with a somewhat resentful expression.
Why didn’t you say so earlier?
Hu Lizhong seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "I didn’t know you were from the Sun Family before."
Besides, he was somewhat displeased with Sun Chaoyi earlier.
A citizen of the Divine Continent Country, holding an important position, actually helping Japanese businessmen make profits and suppressing domestic traders, such a person was too contemptible in his eyes.
But after all, this man came from the Sun Family, and the influence of the Sun Family in the official circles of the Divine Continent Country was equivalent to that of the Chu Family in the military, belonging to a real political aristocratic family. Yang Fei was having a conflict with him, which might not be good for the Qin Family.
If he, knowing the identities of both parties, let their conflict escalate to an irreconcilable level, after the fact, whether it be the Qin Family or the Sun Family, as long as they found out about this, they would blame him secretly, which was something he couldn’t afford to offend from either side.
Just then, Sun Chaoyi’s cellphone rang.
Feeling annoyed, he didn’t intend to pay attention to the call, yet out of habit, he took out his phone to glance at it.
Seeing the caller ID, his eyes lit up, and he immediately answered, "Brother."
The call was from Sun Weimin.
After the call from Yang Fei was hung up earlier, Sun Weimin felt something was wrong. Given Yang Fei’s abilities, plus his identity as the son-in-law of the Qin Family, it was unlikely that he would seek help from him.
Connecting that thought with his cousin’s overbearing personality, he quickly became alert and guessed whether his cousin had offended Yang Fei and so he immediately called Sun Chaoyi.
"Did you offend Little Brother Yang?" Sun Weimin got straight to the point as he asked, genuinely concerned about the matter.
Sun Chaoyi felt a chill in his heart, although his cousin’s status was not as high as his own, he was still a prominent figure in Binhai. The concern he showed towards his relationship with Yang Fei indicated how important Yang Fei was to him.
"Ahem, it can’t really be called offending, there’s just a bit of a misunderstanding over an issue," Sun Chaoyi said.
"I understand Brother Yang’s character; it must have been your attitude in handling matters that offended him. Chaoyi, my family’s Leilei was treated by Brother Yang, and I owe him a huge favor. Moreover, he has the backing of the Imperial City Qin Family. Do you understand what I’m saying?"
"Yes, I understand," Sun Chaoyi gradually calmed down as his cousin’s phone call had given him a good stepping stone.
After hanging up Sun Weimin’s call, Sun Chaoyi changed his expression as if he could switch his face, showing a warm and friendly smile as he walked towards the center of the venue and extended his hands to Yang Fei, saying, "Ah, I didn’t clarify earlier, it turns out you’re the great benefactor who treated our little Leilei. I’m really sorry about the incident just now, I reflect on it."
Yang Fei, having overheard the conversation between Hu Lizhong and Sun Chaoyi, even the content of the call between Sun Weimin and Sun Chaoyi, could not help but feel disgusted seeing Sun Chaoyi’s current demeanor.
However, since the other party was Sun Weimin’s cousin and had corrected his attitude, Yang Fei couldn’t disrespect him and smiled, saying, "No worries, treating Sun Lei was just a simple effort. By the way, Mr. Sun, there’s no issue with the land in Bear Mountain District, right?"
Before Sun Chaoyi could answer, Jingshang Chuner pointed at Yang Fei and said loudly, "I don’t care who you are, in any case, this land has been promised to me by Mr. Sun."
"Silence!"
Yang Fei, who had already been feeling irritated by the Japanese man, casually waved his hand.
Jingshang Chuner’s body flew as if struck by a ghost, travelling over a dozen meters, spitting blood and rolling on the ground in pain as he moaned miserably.
Sun Chaoyi and the two accompanying officials were dumbfounded on the spot.
They had seen overbearing behavior, but never something this audacious.
In front of them, Yang Fei had actually attacked an international businessman.
And more so, he was at least four or five meters away from Jingshang Chuner, how did he manage to make him fly a dozen meters away with just a wave of his hand?
"A Japanese man, willing to offend a Divine Continent Martial Arts Family just to get his hands on this precious land, have you ever considered what his intentions might be? A hundred years of shame, even us commoners dare not forget, yet you have?" Yang Fei coldly asked Sun Chaoyi and his companions.
Sun Chaoyi and his companions broke out in a cold sweat.
They felt an inexplicable chill sweeping through their bodies, sending shivers down their spines.
Such terrifying eyes, such a powerful presence.
At this moment, Sun Chaoyi finally realized that the young man before him was not ordinary.
Being the son-in-law of the Imperial City Qin Family and a member of the Military Department, his own abilities were not to be underestimated either.
Although he was shocked, Sun Chaoyi still couldn’t help but ask, "Is this land for your personal need, or for the Military Department?"
Yang Fei glanced at him and laughed, "If it’s for my personal need, does that mean I can’t have it?"
Sun Chaoyi, facing Yang Fei’s eyes as bright as the moon, felt a tremor in his heart and hastily said, "That’s not what I meant, I just... Alright, I will handle this matter."
Yang Fei asked, "How will you handle it?"
Sun Chaoyi clenched his teeth and said, "Let’s just call it a misunderstanding then. This land originally belonged to the Tong Family, I was planning to mediate so that the Tong Family would transfer the land to Jingshang... to someone else, and our city government would compensate the Tong Family with a larger piece of land. Now that you’ve taken an interest in this land and have a good relationship with the Tong Family, I’ll find another plot of land for Jingshang."
Being coerced to bow his head in front of so many people by Yang Fei, he felt he couldn’t save face and was filled with resentment.
It wasn’t that he was truly afraid of Yang Fei.
Although the other party was a powerful Martial Artist, he himself held a high position, and his family’s influence was strong as well.
But the problem was that if the land was really needed by the Military Department, then with just an order from them, the land would have been designated a military base, and he wouldn’t be able to sell it to Jingshang Chuner.
Instead of tearing his face off without gaining any benefit, it was better to bow his head temporarily, deeming it as doing a favor for the other party.
"What do you think?" Yang Fei asked Tong Yunshu.
Tong Yunshu didn’t want to completely offend Sun Chaoyi either, and she knew that Sun Chaoyi was bowing his head because of Qin Yanyang’s status. She didn’t want to flex her muscles using Qin Yanyang’s fame and thus said, "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Sun."
Sun Chaoyi smiled awkwardly in embarrassment.
Tong Jinchuan, who was aside, couldn’t help but feel secretly terrified.
Ever since Sun Chaoyi set his sights on this medicinal herb base, he had been very dismissive, insisting on the Tong Family breaking the contract early, and had even tried to forcibly take it back, showing outrageous arrogance.
Now what?
Tong Jinchuan felt a sense of vindication.
But he dared not show it, knowing very well that it was out of fear of the Qin Family that the other party relented, with the Tong Family merely benefiting from the situation.
"Hurry up and help Mr. Jingshang onto the helicopter, take him to the hospital," Sun Chaoyi walked to the side and directed several of his subordinates.
Tong Jinchuan quickly went to help, and after sending Jingshang Chuner on the plane, he asked Tong Yunshu, "Yun Shu, should I go along to help out?"
Tong Yunshu asked, "Are you well acquainted with this Japanese man?"
Tong Jinchuan broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head hastily, saying, "No... not familiar, I understand now."
After the helicopter flew away, the whole valley quieted down.
Tong Yunshu turned to Yang Fei and asked, "What’s the real story with this land? Why do the Japanese want it, and why are you interested too?"
