"Yes, young master, that Jiang Chen is truly despicable, always putting on such airs."

Liu Tiancheng chimed in, adding fuel to the fire:

"Walking around with a cane in hand, looking all high and mighty, completely disregarding our Zhou Family. He's far too arrogant! You must avenge us!"

"Bastard!"

Zhou Hai cursed, glaring angrily at Zhou Liecheng: "Zhou Liecheng, is this the person you instructed Liegang to get to know? This kind of scum—what qualifications does he have to attend our Zhou Family's ancestral worship ceremony? He's not even worthy of stepping through the doors of the Zhou Family! Didn't you say Liegang follows you and that you're responsible for him? Then have that Jiang Chen kneel before Liegang and apologize immediately!"

"Zhou Hai, watch how you speak to me!" Leng Ming roared in anger, "I don't believe Mr. Jiang would act so rudely!"

The Zhou Family members froze for a moment, staring at Leng Ming in astonishment.

"I don't believe it either!"

Yue Zhenfeng said sternly, turning to Zhou Liegang and Liu Tiancheng: "How exactly did you meet Mr. Jiang? Tell me everything word for word. No embellishments, no malicious distortions!"

Once again, the Zhou Family members fell silent, surprised.

They glanced at Leng Ming and then at Yue Zhenfeng, suddenly realizing that this Jiang Chen appeared to be no ordinary individual!

"Jiang Chen?!"

Zhou Jiang suddenly spoke up, "Is it the same Jiang Chen who attended the Old Master of the Yue Family's birthday celebration?!"

Zhou Liecheng nodded, replying, "Yes, Dad, you should know his influence."

Then, turning to Zhou Liegang, Zhou Liecheng growled, "Speak! Tell me everything that happened in full detail!"

Zhou Liegang's expression shifted slightly, hesitating for a moment before putting on a look of feigned distress: "Big brother, I only asked Liu Tiancheng to explain some rules to him. There was no slander at all! He's just relying on the success of his company and the fact that he's the Family Head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng to look down on us Zhou Family!"

"Yes, young master, we were all polite and did not provoke him on purpose. He was the one being disrespectful first, and he's also the one who began the physical confrontation!" Liu Tiancheng testified beside him.

"Zhou Liecheng, what are you trying to say? My son's arm has been broken, and you're still treating it like an interrogation? Is this how you take responsibility for Liegang?" Zhou Hai shouted in anger, glaring fiercely at Zhou Liecheng.

Zhou Liecheng glanced at Zhou Hai briefly and then turned to Zhou Liegang and Liu Tiancheng: "You two sit down. I'll call the family's physician."

"Good! Big brother, you must not let that bastard Jiang Chen go!"

Zhou Liegang nodded, giving Zhou Liecheng another reminder before heading with Liu Tiancheng to sit on a sofa in the living room.

The Zhou Family members all gathered in the living room, sitting on the sofas and watching as Zhou Liecheng dealt with the situation.

His invited guest had injured his younger brother; if he didn't handle this properly, it might impact tomorrow's rivalry!

Zhou Liecheng called the family's physician, sat down on the sofa, looked at Zhou Liegang and Liu Tiancheng, and spoke solemnly: "Liegang, where did Mr. Jiang hit you? How long ago did this happen?"

"At the exit gate, less than an hour ago!" Zhou Liegang answered without hesitation.

"Zhou Liecheng, what are you saying? That bastard Jiang Chen hit Liegang, and you still call him 'Mr. Jiang'? Are you planning to side with that Jiang Chen? What has he done to earn your respect?" Zhou Hai shouted angrily.

"Zhou Hai! Mind your foul mouth!" Leng Ming shouted back furiously, glaring at Zhou Hai.

Zhou Hai froze, his expression darkening, and snapped back, "Leng Ming, what is this supposed to mean? Why are you interfering in our Zhou Family's matters?"

"Mr. Jiang is my boss. I won't stand for you disrespecting him!" Leng Ming fired back without hesitation.

"What?!"

Several Zhou Family members who hadn't attended the Yue Family's birthday celebration froze in shock, staring at Leng Ming in disbelief.

Leng Ming, inheritor of the prestigious Huangluo Clan, was openly admitting Jiang Chen as his superior. This...

The Zhou Family members suddenly realized that this was becoming rather complicated!

"Mr. Jiang is also my boss! And my father speaks with him on equal footing!" Yue Zhenfeng delivered yet another blow to the Zhou Family's ego.

Several in the Zhou Family were stupefied.

When did a commercial family head rise to such prominence, commanding the loyalty of heirs from two major hidden aristocratic families?

Zhou Liegang and Liu Tiancheng both turned pale, exchanging apprehensive glances that betrayed the panic in their eyes.

All the while, Zhou Liecheng kept his gaze locked on Zhou Liegang and Liu Tiancheng, observing their uneasy reactions. His brows furrowed slightly as he considered their behavior, then picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Zhou Young Master," came the voice of a middle-aged man from the other end.

Speaking calmly, Zhou Liecheng said, "Director Zhang, can you send me the security footage of the airport exit gate? The recordings within the past hour will suffice."

"Of course!"

At that moment, Zhou Liegang and Liu Tiancheng's faces twisted in sudden alarm. Liu Tiancheng hurriedly intervened, "Young master, do you not trust us?"

"Yes, big brother! How can you believe an outsider over us?" Zhou Liegang asked, feigning indignation.

Zhou Liecheng ignored their protests, patiently waiting for the footage.

"Zhou Liecheng, what's your point? No matter who's at fault, Liegang and Liu Tiancheng's broken arms cannot go unanswered!"

Zhou Hai bellowed, turning to glare at Leng Ming and Yue Zhenfeng: "I don't care what relationship you have with Jiang Chen. If he dared to break my son's arm, then he must pay the price!"

"You—"

Leng Ming turned sharply on Zhou Hai, ready to reprimand him.

"Enough!"

Zhou Liecheng roared angrily, lifting his gaze to glare coldly at Zhou Hai: "Second Uncle. Since Liegang is under my wing, I will hold myself accountable for him. If Mr. Jiang is in the wrong, I will demand justice from him. But if he isn't, are you suggesting that I should ruin my relationship with Mr. Jiang just because of Liegang's mistake? Would you have me lose Mr. Jiang's support, just to have him turn around and back my father instead?"

"You—you dare imply—?"

Zhou Hai burst out furiously, "I'm asking you to avenge Liegang! Someone like Jiang Chen isn't even worthy of stepping through our Zhou Family's doors! Our family standards aren't that low!"

"To hell with you!"

Buzz!

Having endured Zhou Hai's repeated insults to Jiang Chen, Leng Ming could tolerate it no longer. He let out a furious yell, his aura exploding as he launched a fist straight at Zhou Hai's chest.

"Venerable Realm Initial Stage?!" Zhou Hai reacted in shock, frantically raising his hand to block the strike.

Bang!

With a loud thud, Zhou Hai staggered back two steps, his face pale.

"Enough!"

Buzz!

A low, commanding voice echoed through the room as a powerful aura from the Venerable Realm Late Stage engulfed the living room. Zhou Wanrong glared angrily at Leng Ming, "Leng Ming, you're out of line! This is the Zhou Family, not the Huangluo Clan!"

Bang!

Whoosh whoosh!

Before Leng Ming could even retort, a loud crashing sound echoed abruptly.

The villa's main doors were smashed apart.

Then, Pu Liang, Jun Lin, Yue Shaoting, and Yue Taizhong stormed into the living room.
