July 28, night.
In the suburbs of the imperial city, there is the Zhang family villa.
Zhang Yansheng held up his cell phone, his face twitching.
"Dad, Ding Pojun just called me and said it very bluntly. If I dare to make the Gu family unhappy, he will make me unhappy!" Zhang Yansheng spoke quickly with suppressed anger.
"And the Zeng family? That fortune teller was so mean to me! He said I'd have a bloody disaster soon! He even tried to sell me a talisman he drew to ward off disaster! Is this even fortune-telling? It's a curse!"
......
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to ask something, and Zhang Yansheng immediately shook his head.
"That's not Zeng Jianguo, that's his son, your sworn enemy when you were at Wuhan University, Zeng Aijia!"
Then he added.
"And the worst of all is that Huang Lei! He actually had a secular organization investigate our businesses in the capital. They were either evading taxes or failing to meet fire safety standards! They were all shut down and ordered to rectify! In just a few hours, 80% of our business in the capital was paralyzed!"
......
"You ask why?" Zhang Yansheng almost shouted, "Because of Gu Jinzhi's wife—Jiang Xue!"
......
"You don't know what's going on?" Zhang Yansheng was extremely irritated. "That's because the Investigation Bureau and the Martial Arts Alliance blocked the news together."
"Dad, you have no idea how exaggerated that little girl was... If my friends at the Investigation Bureau hadn't repeatedly assured me the information was reliable, I wouldn't have believed it even if I were beaten to death!"
"I'm telling you, blah blah..."
“Blah blah blah~~~”
Three minutes later...
Zhang Yansheng concluded, "Just give me a clear answer. Are you still going to pursue Gu Jinzhi? If you continue, you'll have to be prepared for our family to offend three factions at once!"
The microphone was silent for a moment, and then a rough male voice came out, "You've been talking for so long, are you scared?!"
"Afraid?" Zhang Yan laughed. "I'm afraid you'll be targeted by the Wuxians behind these families! You're the last one ranked, and you're planning to offend the second, fourth (the Director of the Investigation Bureau), and thirteenth at the same time? Are you sure?"
This time, there was a long silence on the other end of the microphone.
Zhang Yansheng could hear the heavy breathing on the other end of the phone, as well as the sound of Zhang Luye pacing.
A minute or two later, the person on the other end spoke again, but this time, his tone was not as righteous.
Zhang Luye: "Keep your voice down. Don't worry, just keep doing what you need to do."
Zhang Yansheng: "Then what about these forces? Are you number one in the world? Can you just stop caring?"
Zhang Luye: "I may not be the best in the world, but 'that person' is on our side!"
Zhang Yansheng: "'That person' didn't even let us kill Gu Jinzhi outright. You're saying, is he on our side?"
Zhang Yansheng's tone was filled with obvious doubt.
Zhang Luye was extremely confident: "There's no way it can be wrong. 'That person' told me personally that Gu Jinzhi would definitely go to Western Xinjiang!"
Zhang Yansheng was still skeptical: "Why am I so unconvinced?"
A muffled "bang bang bang" sound came from the microphone, as if a silverback gorilla was beating its chest desperately.
Zhang Luye: "Can I, your father, lie to you?"
Zhang Yansheng choked and pressed, "Then please repeat to me what 'that person' said."
Zhang Luye was clearly getting impatient, but he couldn't persuade his son. He said, "That person said, 'In the next two years, the new generation of the Gu family will definitely go to Western Xinjiang. Please be patient.'"
Zhang Yansheng felt that he would be the first master to be angered to death.
At this moment, he already felt like one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
After suppressing his anger several times, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "'That' refers to the 'Gu family'! Not 'Gu Jinzhi'!"
Zhang Luye's nonchalant voice echoed, "Does it make any difference? Besides Gu Jinzhi, is there anyone else of the right age for the new generation of the Gu family?"
Zhang Yansheng gasped, "And Jiang Xue! Jiang Xue! If it was Jiang Xue who went, would you kill her? Kill a Great Perfectionist, the great benefactor of the Investigation Bureau, the genius newly discovered by the Martial Arts Alliance? Would you dare?"
Zhang Luye's voice became even more indifferent: "Keep quiet, you're worrying for no reason. I'm telling you, ever since I had that dream, I've been keeping an eye on that kid from the Gu family."
Then, he made the final conclusion, "Gu Jinzhi is not the kind of person you said..."
Bang!
Zhang Yansheng hung up the phone, his face flushed with anger and his temples throbbing.
"Damn, idiot!" he cursed under his breath.
Across from him, Zhang Pengcheng stared at his father and shrugged, "Dad, am I right? Even grandpa knows who Gu Jinzhi is."
"All your calculations are in vain!"
Zhang Yansheng turned his head and looked at Zhang Pengcheng.
The two stared at each other for a long time.
Zhang Yansheng felt even more angry when he saw the expression on his son's face that said "See, I told you so a long time ago."
Zhang Pengcheng couldn't bear his father's fierce gaze.
He smiled awkwardly, "Dad, what's the plan?"
This seemed to remind Zhang Yansheng. He looked away, pondered for a moment, and said, "You can't go to the wedding. With Jiang Xue's temper, I'm afraid she'll find any excuse to beat you to death..."
Zhang Pengcheng shuddered and asked cautiously, "Who are the experts you contacted?"
Zhang Yansheng raised his hand and rubbed his brow, his tone tired: "...Cancel."
