Lan Mengchen was brought to one of the private rooms located on the top floor of the club.

"Ms. Lan, please enter!"

With his head bowed, the waiter opened the door of the private for Lan Mengchen. He did not dare to look inside the room – as if there were demons inside the room. Taken aback, Lan Mengchen walked into the room and she saw a group of influential individuals inside. The witch of the Zhuang Family was sitting in the middle of the room. Unless there was something very important for her to attend, she would never step out of the mansion. On the other hand, there was a group of extraordinary men standing around the witch. Zhuang Hao was standing on her left and there were four bodyguards standing behind him.

Lan Mengchen was not surprised by the familiar scene. Actually, Zhuang Hao himself was really powerful – those four bodyguards that were protecting him were sent to protect him by the country. Clearly, their combat powers were not weak either. On his right stood a young and an old man. For the old man, his hair was all white and his face was aged – standing there with his eyes closed. One could feel that his Qi was like an old tree that stood high on top of a mountain. Rain and wind had nothing on it. Seemingly, this old man was some kind of Jianghu elite!

Other than that, Lan Mengchen also knew that this old man's age was more than a hundred years old. Previously, he was a real eunuch from the late Qing Dynasty. His true power remained a great mystery and he somehow managed to make a name for himself in the Jianghu. Due to something great that Zhuang Family had done for him, he had decided to stay hidden in the Zhuang Family and become the head steward.

Over the past decades, he stayed loyal to the Zhuang Family. He was so good at what he did that even the witch of Zhuang Family had to show him respect by calling him Elder Su! As for the young man that stood behind the eunuch; he was known as the most talented grandson in the family, Zhuang Jiuxiao! He was twenty-seven years old and had already achieved Half Step True Nirvana Stage!

It was important to know that the Zhuang Family had spent countless of resources on Zhuang Bufan for him to achieve pinnacle phase of Qi refining stage! On the other hand, Zhuang Jiuxiao was not provided with a huge deal of resources but his combat power had greatly exceeded Zhuang Bufan. Judging from that, he was truly a talented prodigy.

For the past two years, he was ranked eighth on the Hero of War Leaderboard. Almost everyone in Jianghu knew about him. His achievement was so great that it glorified the Zhuang Family's name. If he managed to rank higher on the leaderboard this year, he would receive even more respect from the family. Upon seeing that, Lan Mengchen started to feel really nervous. As predicted by Chen Xiaobei earlier, the witch of the Zhuang Family had planned a series of wicked things for him. With all the important family members being here in this room, she was determined to bring Chen Xiaobei down this time. And, that was how the witch dealt with matters like these – quick and decisive!

Earlier, the two assassins that she sent to kill Chen Xiaobei were tortured terribly. After experiencing a huge slap on her face, she would never allow herself to fall into the same trap twice!

"Great grandma, Uncle Zhuang, Elder Su, Brother Jiuxiao… Why are you all gathered here in this room?"

Though Lan Mengchen felt really worried, she managed to hide it. Chen Xiaobei's efforts would be in vain and Lan Family would be destroyed if the witch started to grow suspicious on her. Finding no fault in Lan Mengchen after taking a look at her, the witch pointed at the TV on the wall and said, "Because of him!"

Lan Mengchen then turned around to look at the TV. It showed Chen Xioabei sitting in the private room.

"He is Madam Diana's and my working partner. Today, we are supposed to come here to meet Mr. Wang. Might I know why you are all gathered here because of him?"

Clearly, Lan Mengchen knew the answer to this question but she had to play dumb to make sure that no one grew suspicious on her.

"This kid hurt Bufan! I have to avenge him! I have no intention of hiding this matter from you. I hope you know how important is this matter to me!"

"Yes… Family comes first before anything else!"

With her head nodded, Lan Mengchen said in a soft tone.

"Great. I'm very pleased that you have your priorities straight! You can have a seat over there! Your mission can be considered complete when you bring that bastard here! Next, I want you to watch how the Zhuang Family is going to deal with a matter like this!"

Pursing her lips, Lan Mengchen moved to the corner of the room. No one would pay attention to her facial reaction if she stayed in that corner. The most important thing was she had a clear view of the TV. Soon, a waitress could be seen carrying a plate walking to Chen Xiaobei with a smile on her face.

"Great grandma, is this the assassin that you hire to kill him? It seems like her acting is pretty good! I wouldn't know she is an assassin if you didn't tell me beforehand! However, I still think that this whole assassination thing is too troublesome! Why not just let me walk into that room and kill that bastard with a single slap!" said Zhuang Jiuxiao with a frown on his face.

"Troublesome? My boy, you are a prodigy when it comes to martial arts but you are way too short-sighted! You have the courage but you don't possess any wit!"

"I…"

Zhuang Jiuxiao was speechless. A pail of cold water was splashed on him as he was behaving arrogantly.

"The reason behind this plan was to test out the true strength of the enemy! It's worthwhile for you to kill if the enemy is too weak! On the other hand, you would be killed if the enemy is too powerful! Knowing the enemy and yourself would get you unscathed through a hundred battles!" said Zhuang Hao.

"I see it now! Great grandma is right! Witty and thoughtful! I have learned a lot this time!"

"Great. You have quite a number of weaknesses but you are humble enough to learn from your mistakes. Go and pick up a few books to nourish your brain when you are free. In the future, I'm pretty sure you will do something great!"

"Yes! I will definitely not disappoint you! You are right! Look at him. He is just around twenty years old. Fighting with him will definitely stain my reputation! If I'm not mistaken, this assassin can definitely end his life right there!"

After that, everyone paid attention to the TV. At that moment, Lan Mengchen was the only that felt nervous in the room. Her forehead was crinkled and her palms were sweaty. All she wished right now was to inform Chen Xiaobei that the waitress was an assassin. However, she was not allowed to do so.

...…

In the room.

A beautiful and voluptuous female assassin was holding a metal plate with a cover.

"Sir, this is the appetizer of the day, South Africa lobster salad…" said the female assassin with a smile on her face.

"This is not right! You got the name wrong."

"Huh? Wrong name?"

Baffled, the female assassin did not expect that Chen Xiaobei would react in such an unexpected manner.

"This dish should be called…"

With his glance focused on the metal plate, Chen Xiaobei uncovered the lid at lightning speed with an evil grin on his face.

"Jing Ke Assassin Emperor Qin! Killed by his own dagger!"
