Whimpering... Squeak!

As Tang Feng and the others were discussing Jiang Chen, a stretched Lincoln stopped at the entrance of the mansion, right next to Tang Yulin and two others.

Click, click, click!

The car door opened, and an elderly man, two middle-aged men, and a young man stepped out.

"Second Young Master, Third Young Master, Miss Zhuge!" The four men bowed in succession towards Tang Yulin and his companions.

Tang Feng and another nodded towards the four, and Tang Yulin, with a light chuckle, said, "Mr. Jiang, Jiang Bing, you and your son have come a bit late!"

"Second Young Master, it wasn't intentional. I arrived at Xi Bo early and was waiting for Xiaobing. When Xiaobing was resting in a service area near Xi Bo, they were attacked by villains. Old Chen died, and Xiaobing and his younger brother barely escaped with their lives!" said Jiang Wenlong, his face full of sorrow.

"Old Chen died? Who did it?" Tang Yulin's face darkened, as a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Tang Feng also furrowed his brows; although he only managed business matters, he knew that Guo Jianglong was a force supported by the Tang Family and was subsidiary to them. Anyone daring to attack Guo Jianglong's son near Xi Bo was essentially slapping the Tang Family in the face.

"I'm not sure who exactly, but they demanded that I personally apologize and mentioned the old master's birthday banquet—it must be someone who is here for the banquet."

Guo Jianglong's face soured as he clasped his fists toward Tang Yulin, "Second Young Master, I, Jiang Wenlong, have always been loyal to the Tang Family. Old Chen protected me for half my life—please, for Old Chen's sake, seek justice for me!"

"They are here for the great-grandfather's birthday banquet?"

Tang Yulin's brows knitted tightly, "No matter who it is, attacking you near Xi Bo is showing disrespect to my Tang Family. Go inside first; I'll handle this for you!"

"Thank you, Second Young Master!" Jiang Wenlong and his group bowed deeply, then turned and walked into the mansion.

Tang Yulin watched their retreating figures, his gaze slightly heavy: "It seems my Tang Family has been too indulgent; someone actually dared to attack our people near Xi Bo!"

"Second Brother, we shouldn't just take Guo Jianglong's word for it; his reputation in Province A isn't very good, and his son is even known as a lascivious and arrogant scion—perhaps they provoked someone?" Tang Feng hesitated, then spoke softly.

Tang Yulin nodded slightly, "Although the characters of Guo Jianglong and his son are indeed questionable, they are, after all, our people. Even if they provoked others first, the other party went too far by killing Chen Furong—it was an Innate Grandmaster, after all!"

"Hmm." Tang Feng nodded slightly.

Thump, thump, thump!

The sound of footsteps approached as one of the Tang Family guards came up to Tang Yulin and the others, speaking with deference, "Second Young Master, Third Young Master, Miss Zhuge, the old master asks that you come over."

"He has asked for us?" Tang Yulin was slightly startled.

"Yes, it's..." the guard looked around, then spoke in a low voice, "Someone from the Holy Court has come; they want to talk to you about something!"

"What?" Tang Yulin and the others exclaimed, exchanging glances before quickly turning and walking towards the interior of the mansion.

Whimpering... Squeak!

Just as Tang Yulin and the others were hastily heading towards the central villa, a Knight XV arrived at the entrance of the mansion.

Yan Hu poked his head out, slowly driving the car into the parking area inside the mansion.

Click, click, click!

The car door opened and Jiang Chen and his party got out.

"This Tang Family's mansion is really huge! By the way!"

Jiang Chen sighed, suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Ye Jingyi: "Jing Yi, it seems the Tang Family's overseas company had some conflicts with Jiuzhou, has it been resolved?"

"It's been resolved. After Lin Lin learned that you have connections with the Tang Family, she spoke to Sun Yue. Now, Jiuzhou and the Tang Family's company have already started to cooperate!" Ye Jingyi softly said.

Jiang Chen nodded. "That's good. However, my connection with the Tang Family isn't that significant, so there's no need to accomodate them in the cooperation."

"Understood, we shouldn't endure losses," Ye Jingyi light-heartedly said.

"Haha, well said."

A few people chuckled and walked toward the central villa.

"Good evening, sir." A Tang Family staff member came up to Jiang Chen and others, smiling: "May I know if you are here to attend the old man's birthday banquet? You are..."

Jiang Chen gently nodded: "Yes, I am Jiang Chen, Head of the Jiang Family from Jincheng, this is my wife, President of Yi Chen Corporation, Ye Jingyi, this is my brother Yan Hu, and this is my disciple, Tang Wanru."

"Head of the Jiang Family? I didn't expect you to be so young!" The staff member showed surprise, smiling broadly: "I am Tang Family's external affairs butler, Li Tao. Please follow me."

Jiang Chen gently nodded.

Following Li Tao, they arrived at the small square before the villa.

"Head of the Jiang Family, the heads of various families are in the villa's reception room. Would you like to join them?" Li Tao asked Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen slightly smiled and nodded lightly: "Sure, let's go over. Maybe I'll meet some old acquaintances!"

"You really dare to come!" Just as they were about to walk into the villa, an angry shout rang out, and three men quickly stepped in front of Jiang Chen and his companions, blocking their path.

"Mr. Jiang, what is this..." Li Tao looked puzzled at the man blocking the path, Jiang Bing.

"This is none of your business!" Jiang Bing said angrily, his face dark as he glared at Jiang Chen and his group: "You actually dare to come to the Tang Family, you've got some nerve!"

Li Tao frowned slightly and said in a firm voice: "Mr. Jiang, is there some misunderstanding here? They are..."

"What misunderstanding? They killed Mr. Chen; I saw it with my own eyes. If I hadn't fought for my life, they would have killed me too. Such arrogant criminals should be apprehended. If they disturb the old man's birthday banquet, can you afford the responsibility?" Jiang Bing glared at Li Tao, shouting loudly.

"Killed Mr. Chen? Do you mean the Mr. Chen who works with Master Guo?"

"That must be him. Who are those people who also wanted to kill Jiang Bing?"

"No matter who they are, they're in for trouble now. Master Guo is with the Tang Family. Anyone who kills his people and tries to kill Jiang Bing won't be let off by the Tang Family!"

"Those folks look unfamiliar; they're probably not from a Martial Arts Family, right?"

"No, those two girls look somewhat familiar!"

Jiang Bing's shouts drew the attention of everyone in the square, and a wave of murmuring began.

Li Tao hesitated for a moment, looked at Jiang Chen, and said in a serious tone: "Head of the Jiang Family, please wait here for a moment."

Jiang Chen nonchalantly shrugged, glanced at Jiang Bing with a mocking expression in his eyes.

Li Tao signaled to several men in black formal wear who were maintaining order by the square, then quickly entered the villa.

Several men in black formal wear stepped closer, subtly surrounding Jiang Chen and his group in the middle.
