Chapter 1359: Can I Finally Call Off the Engagement This Time?

“I agree as well…” Lecroft said helplessly. Even the family master had agreed, what else could he say?

It was as if Kevithan had already expected this outcome. He showed a complacent smile, cleared his throat and said, “Since everyone trusts me so much, then I shall take up this offer.”

Lecroft was still feeling fine. He knew that his forces weren’t as big as Slade’s. He was self-aware now that Kevithan had gotten the support of the family master.

However, the one that felt horrible was none than Thomas’s eldest grandson, Wich. He had already been appointed as the new family master by the family beforehand. However, the opportunity to become the family master had been snatched away by his uncle. His dream of many years to become the family master had been shattered just like that. Wich was aware that he wouldn’t have any chance to become the family master from now onwards. Even if Kevithan retired from the family master position, the next-in-line family master would be chosen from his few sons, who were the few cousins that Wich looked down on. He had even used his position as the first-in-line successor to the family master to bully and criticize them very frequently.

However, he knew that his position would be exchanged with them from now. He would, in turn, become the one to be laughed at now.

Wich’s heart was filled with discontent after thinking about it. This caused him to also hate Goode. If it weren’t for Goode, the Lancer Family wouldn’t be involved in this incident, and he himself would not be as well.

However, he had no right to speak. If his grandfather had already decided on it, how could he change his decision? He could only fiercely stare at Kevithan, the person who had stolen his family master position.

Wich understood that this would be the last time that he participated in the family meeting., No matter how outstanding he was, he would never be able to appear in the meeting anymore. Because of his status as the grandson of the previous family master, the new family master would definitely never allow him to ever appear in the family meetings from now on.

Meanwhile, at Wang Songshan’s study room in the Butterfly Family, Yang Ming smiled and looked at Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui. “How is it, Uncle Wang? This time, will you finally allow me to call off the engagement? Senior Wang Ruoshui, you won’t invite me to another duel, will you?”

Originally, Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui were very excited by the ease at which the Lancer Family had succumbed to them, and were thinking about how to celebrate it. However, the expressions that appeared on their faces after hearing Yang Ming’s words were very interesting.

“You… really want to call off the engagement?” Wang Ruoshui already knew about the events between Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan and knew about the conflict between the two. She also knew that everything had been planned by the two old troublemakers Wang Songshan and Fang Tian behind Yang Ming and her backs. Because of that, she felt a little weird when she heard that Yang Ming was still holding his statement of wanting to call off the engagement.

“Yep. Otherwise, why would I waste so much effort just to help you all?” Yang Ming blinked. These two people can’t be reluctant to call off the engagement just because of the strength I showed, right? If that is the case, then my plan has backfired.

“Waste effort?” Wang Songshan rolled his eyes. He did not see how Yang Ming had wasted any effort. He had just made a phone call and settled everything like that. His way of speaking was also really prideful. It was as if he was begging, but ordering someone instead. How did that waste any effort? This was clearly just lending a helping hand – No, it was just lending a helping mouth. His hands did not even do anything.

“Yep. Eh, I also have a price to pay because of this.” Yang Ming pretended to feel heartache and gave out a sigh. “You really think that I can make the Buffon Family listen to my orders by simply speaking to them?”

Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui couldn’t help but look at each other after hearing Yang Ming’s words. Indeed, what kind of existence was the Buffon Family? How could they show such a big reaction after hearing a sentence from Yang Ming? No one would believe that Yang Ming did not have to pay any price, unless Yang Ming was an existence much stronger than them. However, neither of them could see Yang Ming’s special traits.

In fact, Yang Ming’s biggest source of help was Fang Tian. The reason why Yang Ming could allow the Charles Family to succumb to him was also that he had used Fang Tian’s name. If he wasn’t the disciple of Fang Tian, then with the wits of Old Charles, how could he submit to Yang Ming so easily?

Both Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui’s heart cleared up a lot after Yang Ming said so. Yang Ming had indeed paid a certain price.

Yang Ming said these words because he assumed that Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui didn’t want to call off the engagement as they thought that his power was too big. Therefore, he tried to present the fact that it wasn’t him that was strong; he had to pay a price. Moreover, Yang Ming did not think he had cheated them, because he had indeed paid a price. How could he let Old Buffon leave empty-handed after he came to the Butterfly Family just to find him? He had already taught him some new techniques, so he considered that as paying a price.

“Fine. But before you call off the engagement, please do meet my daughter one more time. At least make it a happy farewell.” Wang Songshan felt a little sad for Yang Ming. After all, he had already wasted so much effort, without realizing that he couldn’t call off the engagement. Who knew how gloomy he would feel after he knew about it.

“Meet one more time… fine.” Yang Ming thought. According to his original plan, he had to meet her one more time before calling off the engagement. Moreover, he needed to announce to the public that both of their personalities weren’t compatible, and resulted in a mutual decision to cancel the engagement.

“Then let’s make it happen tonight. I shall make arrangements for it without further delay.” Wang Songshan let out a sigh, but a feeling of smugness flashed across his eyes. It seemed that he was thinking about how hilarious it would be if Yang Ming met up with Wang Xiaoyan.

Yang Ming could keenly pick up clues about Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui’s weird behavior. However, he did not notice anything inappropriate. So he just assumed that they felt a sense of pity now that Yang Ming wanted to break the engagement, and did not give deeper thought to the matter.

“Yanyan, go meet your fiance tonight to discuss the engagement.” After Yang Ming had left, Wang Songshan went into Wang Xiaoyan’s room. Since the family matters were over, Wang Songshan felt relieved, and his face was also filled with smiles.

“Oh?” Wang Xiaoyan was slightly shocked for a moment. “Have the family matters already been settled? Must this matter really be discussed so soon?”

Previously, Wang Xiaoyan was very worried about the family’s affairs after hearing about the situation from Wang Songshan. As she went back to her room, she was contemplating whether to give Yang Ming a call or not. In Wang Xiaoyan’s opinion, only Yang Ming could settle this matter.

Although she knew Old Buffon herself, their relationship was just that of a master’s wife and a disciple. Her words would not be as impactful as Yang Ming’s. It would be more effective if Yang Ming were to directly give Old Buffon a call.

She didn’t stay in the room for long before her father had come to find her to continue talking about the engagement. This caused Wang Xiaoyan to feel a little embarrassed. If it were any other time, Wang Xiaoyan would definitely want to rush the cancellation of the engagement. After all, she wanted to go back to China as soon as possible. However, now that her family was facing danger, how could she have the spare time to think about the engagement? Even though she was immature, she knew that she shouldn’t be thinking about this kind of stuff.

“The problems have already been resolved.” Wang Songshan smiled in a relaxed manner. “It’s just been solved. There are no problems anymore.”

“Resolved? So fast?” Wang Xiaoyan was shocked after hearing her father’s words. “The Lancer Family gave in so quickly? What price did we pay?”

“We did not pay any price. In fact, the Lancer Family has also suffered a fairly big loss.” Wang Songshan couldn’t hold in his laughter when he thought about it, so he laughed loudly. “This Thomas dug his own grave. He told me that his firearms’ supply distribution had been cut off by the factory. Now, his dream has come true. Not only did it come true, but it even exceeded his wishes.”

“Dream come true? What does that mean?” Wang Xiaoyan was a little shocked. She couldn’t quite understand what her father had just said.

“The higher-level supplier of the Lancer Family is the Buffon Family. This time, the Buffon Family has already canceled the rights of the Lancer Family to sell weaponry.” Wang Songshan laughed. “Now this is fun. Thomas must regret that his own mouth has jinxed him to death.”

“The Buffon Family?” Wang Xiaoyan’s eyes were filled with disbelief and shock when she heard this name. How could there be such a coincidence? The Lancer Family’s higher-level supplier is the Buffon Family? Then how did my father let the Buffon Family help the Butterfly Family?

“That’s right. From now onwards, our family’s firearms will be supplied directly from the Buffon Family.” Wang Songshan said proudly. “The prices are not only cheaper than before, but the amount is also a lot more. The unfortunate one is only Thomas himself.”

“Dad, as far as I know, the Butterfly Family has never been in contact with the Buffon Family, right?” Wang Xiaoyan felt a little weird and asked. “Then, how did you come in contact with the Buffon Family, and how did you let them help us?”

Chapter 1360 The Angry Wang Xiaoyan

Wang Xiaoyan knew the usual way the Buffon Family acted. These kinds of big families wouldn’t do something with no benefits whatsoever. Besides, the Butterfly Family and the Buffon Family had never cooperated nor been in contact with each other before. Why did they help them?

Although Old Buffon was very formal towards her and Yang Ming, and listened to everything they said, that was just him obeying his elders. It was impossible for Old Buffon to treat others the same way. Because of this, Wang Xiaoyan was very shocked hearing that the Buffon Family had lent them a helping hand.

” Hehe. This time, it’s actually all thanks to your fiance.” Wang Songshan smiled and said. “Who knew how powerful he was? He could even ask the Buffon Family to help us. It’s all thanks to him that our Butterfly Family can survive this crisis.”

“My fiance?” Wang Xiaoyan frowned upon hearing her father’s words. “The disciple of the King of Assassins? He solved it?”

Wang Xiaoyan was very displeased upon hearing this news. There was no other reason other than the fact that she thought they could only rely on Yang Ming to solve this. With this, Yang Ming could also present how powerful he was, and could impress her father by just showing his face in the Butterfly Family. However, she never thought that the spotlight would be snatched away by her so-called fiance. How could Wang Xiaoyan not be angry?

Wang Xiaoyan ignored the fact that her fiance was the one who helped to solve the family’s crisis, and she was already scolding him in her heart. This person is so irritating. You want to call off the engagement? Just call it off. Who asked you to interfere in this matter? Who said you had to interfere?

If she knew beforehand that the Lancer Family’s firearms suppliers were the Buffon Family, Wang Xiaoyan was sure that she could settle this problem herself, and her “fiance” would not have any chance to appear at all.

“He …” Wang Xiaoyan’s voice was a little unkind. “Did he managed to overcome the problem?”

“That’s right. Yanyan, dad can tell that he’s quite decent. It would be a pity to call off the engagement with someone so capable. Why don’t you reconsider this matter?” Wang Songshan asked her while touching his beard.

“Reconsider what?” Wang Xiaoyan said unhappily. “Dad, haven’t I said this before? Yang Ming could solve this problem, so why did you find other people? This unnecessary action has made us owe someone else now.”

Wang Songshan thought, Now I finally believe you when you said that Yang Ming could solve this. After all, Yang Ming is the person who solved this matter. Of course, Wang Songshan just thought about it and did not say it directly.

“He came with good intentions after all.” Wang Songshan was a little awkward. “When you meet him at night, make sure that your attitude is okay. You must not offend him at all.”

“Hmph!” Wang Xiaoyan snorted in a displeased manner. “We could have settled this matter ourselves, but you insisted on relying on others’ help. Wouldn’t it be awkward if I met up with him?”

“Ugh… Is Yang Ming not considered as one of us yet? ” Wang Songshan laughed forcefully. “Since this matter has already been resolved, it’s only right for us to thank others.”

Wang Xiaoyan sighed. Although she still held a few complaints, she knew that what her father said was true. It was a good thing that someone had helped them to solve their troubles. If they didn’t have Yang Ming as their trump card, then the Butterfly Family should really be grateful towards her fiance. After thinking this through, Wang Xiaoyan had no choice but to meet up with him at night to thank him.

Wang Xiaoyan felt that this “thanks” was a little unnecessary. After all, she could have solved this by herself, and it would mean nothing to her. Now she had to go thank others.

“Alright, I’ll thank him.” Wang Xiaoyan nodded. “However, if something like this ever happens again, just find Yang Ming. Don’t go around owing others favors.”

“Okay, okay, I got it.” Wang Songshan smiled resignedly. “This kid, you haven’t even married him yet, and you’re already talking on his behalf.”

Wang Xiaoyan blushed. “What are you talking about? I just thought that we shouldn’t inconvenience others if we can settle the matter ourselves.”

Wang Songshan walked out of Wang Xiaoyan’s room with trembling shoulders. After he left, he couldn’t contain his laughter anymore and laughed out loud. The two people were the same, why did she have to differentiate between them so clearly? Yanyan should understand everything when she sees Yang Ming at night.

…

In the morning, Bao Sanli drove Jing Xiaolu to the police station. He had already agreed beforehand to meet up with Chen Fei. They came to bring the contract to do the judiciary fingerprint recognition.

No matter if it was out of compassion or morals, Chen Fei was supposed to help him with this matter with all his effort. Chen Fei already knew that Yang Ming was the behind-the-scenes boss for this company. Bao Sanli, on the other hand, was Ming Yang Security Company’s general manager, which meant that he was also Yang Ming’s underling. Because of this, he had to settle this matter regardless of whether it was for private or public reasons.

“Chief Chen! How can I trouble you to personally receive us?” Bao Sanli had never expected that Chen Fei who was one of the best cops in the police station would come down to fetch them personally, and was flattered by it. He immediately shook Chen Fei’s hand.

While he was very excited, he also felt very touched. Looking back, he used to be just a punk. Let alone a bureau chief of the police station, even if he met normal police before, he had to run away in fear.

However, the current him not only had an identity and a position, but he had also been sitting at the same level as those important politicians from Song Jiang. These were all thanks to Yang Ming. If it wasn’t for Yang Ming, who knew how many times he would have entered prison, and who knew when he would have been killed by Yu Xiangde.

“President Bao, you must be the god of fortune for our police station. During the year, you have already given our station a large amount of management fees. It’s not strange for me to come and welcome you.” Chen Fei smiled. This sentence was meant for those around him to listen to. Chen Fei was categorized as an upright person. He didn’t like to abuse his position for personal reasons. This time, he explained to his staff that his intention in helping Bao Sanli was that Bao Sanli was a business president affiliated with the city bureau which was under their control. Lending him a helping hand was basically helping themselves.

Chen Fei wasn’t wrong. The Ming Yang Security Company was indeed under the city bureau, which was ruled over by the bureau commander and officers. Every year, the management fees they paid were quite an amount as well. Everyone present knew it.

“That’s right, President Bao. You have helped us settle many of our welfare funds problems,” a vice bureau chief beside smiled and said. Of course, if it wasn’t for Chen Fei, he would never give Bao Sanli any respect at all. From his perspective, Bao Sanli was considered as his underling since Bao Sanli’s company was under his bureau. Why did he need to personally come and welcome him?

However, these people were self-aware as well. Since Chen Fei had come to personally welcome Bao Sanli, they had to accompany him and treat Bao Sanli in a very friendly manner as well. If they didn’t, they were basically not giving face to Bureau Chief Chen Fei.

“This is our company’s Vice President Jing.” Bao Sanli immediately introduced Jing Xiaolu to Chen Fei.

“Hello, Bureau Chief Chen.” Jing Xiaolu naturally knew about Chen Fei’s identity. He was the father of Chen Mengyan, the head of the harem. She naturally didn’t dare to neglect him.

Chen Fei had never seen Jing Xiaolu before and was not familiar with her. He just shook her hand and nodded his head, and did not say anything further. Jing Xiaolu also didn’t give much thought to it.

“I heard that you wanted to do a fingerprint recognition?” Chen Fei walked side by side with Bao Sanli and asked as they went up the stairs. “What happened? What kind of problems have you encountered? Want to tell me about it?”

Bao Sanli did not hide anything and spoke the truth to him. He talked about how his company had worked together with the Jiangyan Group and the process of how he got tricked. He told everything to Chen Fei. After that, he also talked about how Jing Xiaolu had found out about the fingerprint discrepancies on the flawed contract.

It was only after Bao Sanli mentioned this did Chen Fei start to look at this woman who was around the same age as his daughter seriously! Chen Fei was a detective, so it wasn’t weird for him to find the flaws in the contract from the information in Bao Sanli’s description. However, a young woman could find out this clue. This caused Chen Fei to be amazed by Jing Xiaolu.
