"You mean that tactless old man?" Li Changfeng deliberately slowed his speech, and Chai Bairi's face turned even paler.
It's not hard to guess from this passage that the two of them really did meet.
However, Li Changfeng is still standing here unharmed, while Old Wei... is in grave danger.
“He’s dead!” Li Changfeng uttered those four words.
really!
Chai Bairi was in a panic, as if struck by lightning, a thunderbolt had struck him on the head, leaving him scorched on the outside and raw on the inside.
The family's most powerful fighter, Elder Wei, was beaten to death, while the second-ranked fighter's fate remains unknown.
How can we compete with them?
How can we talk about revenge?
Thinking of the word "revenge," Chai Bairi looked at his wife.
It's all that wretched woman's fault. Without her family's influence, how could we have lost two top-tier stores?
If the Chai family no longer has a high-level ancient martial arts master, will they still be able to maintain their status in the provincial capital?
The worst fear is that things are far more complicated than they appear. The massacre of the Bai family shows that Li Changfeng is ruthless and decisive. Will the Chai family be implicated and suffer the same fate as the Bai family?
Thinking about this, Chai Bairi became even more uneasy, realizing that the situation was out of control.
At this moment, a sharp shout rang out, and Zhang Qingqing strode over with an exceptional air about her. "How dare you! Who is bullying my junior brother?"
Ye Zihan naturally followed, and the two women flanked Li Changfeng from the left and right, protecting him.
"Miss Zhang, do you know Li Changfeng?" Chai Bairi asked cautiously.
"He's more than just someone I know; he's the most important person in my life," Zhang Qingqing said firmly.
Chai Bairi's head buzzed, and cold sweat poured down his back.
Oh no!
He can't handle Li Changfeng alone, and now the Zhang family is on his side.
Chai Bairi's mind raced, trying to figure out how to minimize the problem and resolve it peacefully.
This cannot be allowed to continue in this vicious cycle.
Why don't we let the Zhang family act as a mediator?
The Chai and Zhang families have a long-standing friendship and have cooperated for many years. Their relationship has always been decent, and it would be best if they could turn hostility into friendship.
Even if it's just apologizing in public, bowing one's head, and showing some 'sincerity,' it's not entirely unacceptable.
Thinking of this, before she could even put it into practice, Bai Jing, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up, her voice filled with anger and frustration, "Miss Zhang, your taste is really terrible."
"This little scoundrel, all show and no substance, has done all sorts of bad things, and you still treat him like a treasure?"
"There are thousands of men in the world, but three-legged toads are hard to find, while two-legged men are everywhere."
"Shut up!" Chai Bairi's heart skipped a beat, and his voice rose eight octaves.
Isn't this stupid woman adding fuel to the fire?
Li Changfeng's side is still unclear on how to resolve this, and we're risking offending Zhang Qingqing as well?
Even if you're eager for revenge, you must be aware of the current situation and not get yourself involved.
“Husband, what I’m saying is true. You know perfectly well what Li Changfeng has done. Tell Miss Zhang quickly so she can know the truth.”
"That bastard deserves to be torn to pieces and executed by slow slicing."
"Slap!" Chai Bairi could no longer bear it and directly hit him.
The slap showed no mercy; it was delivered with as much force as possible.
Bai Jing was slapped to the ground again, leaving clear five-finger marks. Her long, coiled hair fell haphazardly, making her look like a madwoman who had just come out of a mental hospital.
"Didn't you hear me tell you to shut up? Say one more word and get out of here right now." Chai Bairi's eyes were bloodshot, and he was furious.
"Husband, you hit me in front of so many people." Bai Jing felt extremely wronged, her heart sinking.
"Get out!" Chai Bairi shouted angrily.
Bai Jing looked around and saw pairs of eyes staring at her, all filled with smiles. She felt as if the sky had fallen and everyone was mocking her.
So she got up, cried, and ran out of the hotel.
When people are at a low point, their psychology changes. They become self-conscious, timid, and afraid of light. Actually, no one is laughing at Bai Jing; it's all her own perception.
"Miss Zhang, Mr. Li, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
“My wife is being unreasonable and talking nonsense. She may be having some mental instability due to poor sleep lately. Please don’t take it personally,” Chai Bairi said with a flattering apology.
"I apologize to both of you on her behalf."
"Really? Your wife seems to be in quite a good mood. Shouting and yelling, throwing a tantrum in public, she's quite the character." Li Changfeng said with amusement.
“No, I’ll send her to a mental hospital tomorrow.” Chai Bairi’s smile was awkward and forced.
"Alright, we accept the apology. Go do what you were supposed to do." Li Changfeng waved his hand, not wanting to say too much here.
His plans and intentions remain unchanged.
Just because we don't care about tonight doesn't mean things were fine before.
He tried to take my life twice; how can I let this go so easily?
Li Changfeng isn't his ancestor, so why should he be easy to talk to?
"Mr. Li, there's a misunderstanding between us, please don't take offense." Chai Bairi didn't want to leave without explaining himself.
There are still many unresolved issues, and if I leave, there probably won't be time to resolve the conflicts.
"Oh? Is there some misunderstanding?" Li Changfeng pretended to be confused and acted as if he didn't know.
“Mr. Li, you are the person involved. You know, I know, heaven and earth know. All the misunderstandings were instigated by my wife. She insisted on avenging her family.”
"However, I can assure Mr. Li that nothing like this will ever happen again."
“I swear on my own head,” Chai Bairi said, pointing to his head with a serious expression.
"Junior brother, what happened?" Zhang Qingqing had no idea, which is why she asked this question.
"I'll tell you when we get back," Li Changfeng said calmly.
"good!"
“Mr. Li, our Chai family and the Zhang family also get along well, whether in business or in personal relationships, we have a solid foundation.”
"I also have personal relationships with the older generation."
"You're a magnanimous person, so please forgive my mistake. Let's shake hands and make peace, shall we?" After saying this, Chai Bairi took the initiative to extend his right hand.
If the two people shake hands, it means that the matter is over and will not be pursued any further.
But Li Changfeng did not make a move for a long time.
Chai Bairi was sweating profusely with tension; his forehead was covered in beads of sweat. His life or death hung in the balance at this moment.
It concerns the fate and future of the Chai family.
Li Changfeng turned to look at Zhang Qingqing, who shook her head. "The Zhang family doesn't have a deep relationship with the Chai family."
Zhang Qingqing immediately contradicted him. Her thinking was simple: her junior brother didn't need to worry about saving face; he should just do what he was supposed to do.
Anyone can suffer a loss, but not the junior brother.
Do whatever you want, follow your heart.
No one can harm our junior brother. If you dare to do something, you must be willing to take responsibility and bear the consequences.
“I understand.” Li Changfeng nodded. “Patriarch Chai, please return.”
"Mr. Li..."
“I won’t repeat myself. Doesn’t Patriarch Chai understand?” Li Changfeng said in a deep voice.
Chai Bairi was immediately distraught, losing all his energy and spirit, like a doll whose anger had been vented.
He stood there for an unknown amount of time, and didn't even know how he got back.
Numbness, blankness, absent-mindedness, emptiness...
