The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 581 - 0: Everyone Has Their Own Schemes

The atmosphere on the field fell silent as Jiang Yunyi and Jiang Yunlan were both defeated, leaving only Elder Jiang Zongcheng to fight.

But this old schemer harbored ulterior motives, coveting the position of Family Head for more than a day.

This sudden challenge by two experts was both a crisis and an opportunity.

Just now, he heard from the two Jiang Yunyi that these men had come to their doorstep solely because the Jiang Family had provoked them.

This incident could definitely bring down Jiang Yunyi’s father, Jiang Yecheng.

If he were to fight, winning would go without saying, and everyone would definitely think that it was only proper for someone of his age to defeat the younger ones.

But if he lost, then he would never have the qualifications to assume the position of Family Head for the rest of his life.

After much consideration, Jiang Zongcheng actually clasped his fists and called out to Long Fei and Chu Feng, "My young friends, it is better to settle enmity than to hold a grudge. You have fought and made your point; may I ask what this is all about? Do you really wish to keep fighting until both our families suffer?"

Long Fei and Chu Feng exchanged a glance, thinking that a reasonable person had finally emerged.

He returned the salute and said, "We are here not to fight to the death but to speak with your Family Head."

Chu Feng, hands behind his back, added with a faint smile, "Yes, let Jiang Yecheng come out."

Jiang Zongcheng replied, "Unfortunately, the Family Head has gone to Capital City and probably won’t be back for another three days. Currently, I am managing the family affairs, so you can tell me directly whatever it is."

His heart raced, silently praising himself for making the right choice.

As long as these two young men were not here to fight to the death, there was room for negotiation.

Long Fei nodded, his gaze containing a touch of sharpness as he said, "Alright, then let’s talk. If the Jiang Family had not been too aggressive, we wouldn’t have had to show up at your doorstep. The fall of Wuu Corporation is of no concern to us. We are here to warn you, should you dare to strike against Lin’s Group and Li Group, the next time we come, there will be bloodshed."

Chu Feng followed up with a laugh, "Did you hear that clearly, uncle? You are porcelain, we are clay pots. We can get along just fine, but if you insist on clashing with us, then let’s fight a battle where only one of us will survive!"

His arrogant demeanor provoked a round of silent curses from the Jiang Family descendants.

Jiang Yunyi and Jiang Yunlan were also very displeased; accustomed to being held in high esteem, they had never been threatened like this before.

Jiang Zongcheng, on the other hand, was secretly delighted, seeing an opportunity to pull Jiang Yecheng down from his position.

This whole situation was solely Jiang Yecheng’s doing, carelessly offending two men with nothing to lose.

The Jiang Family had vast interests; what they sought was stability.

With such a significant threat brought onto the Jiang Family by Jiang Yecheng, he was truly unfit for the position of Family Head.

He clasped his fists and said with feigned sincerity, "I understand your concerns. I will report this matter truthfully to the Elders Council, and I believe the Jiang Family will make the right choice. In the meantime, I hope we can maintain peace and stop the fighting."

"Of course!"

Long Fei nodded.

Chu Feng put away the Overlord Spear and said with a thick skin, "Alright, then it’s settled. Got anything to eat? We haven’t had breakfast since we came over early in the morning!"

Long Fei pulled him back and bid farewell to everyone, "Since that’s the case, we won’t impose any further. Take your time to discuss; whether you want to fight or negotiate, we are always ready!"

Now that everything was out in the open, there was no need for them to linger.

Chu Feng glanced at the Jiang Family’s female disciples, clearly reluctant to leave, but followed Long Fei away nonetheless.

The Jiang Family disciples gripped their longswords, all looking at Jiang Zongcheng with expressions of dissatisfaction.

Without Jiang Zongcheng making a move, none of them dared to seek further displeasure.

Jiang Yunyi grunted at Jiang Zongcheng in discontent, "Uncle, what are you doing? By letting them go, where does that leave our Jiang Family’s face?"

He did not refer to him as Elder, but directly called him Second Uncle.

Jiang Zongcheng’s face was grim as he said, "Killing them, would that give our Jiang Family any dignity? This matter arose entirely because of the murderous intent of your father and you, breaking our Jiang Family’s longstanding rule of keeping a low profile. You should go and heal your wounds, I shall report the situation to the Elders Council myself, and everything will be decided according to the Elders Council’s decision."

He swept away in his robes, looking like he was turning his back on them.

Jiang Yunyi still wanted to persuade him, but Jiang Yunlan stopped him.

She figured out Jiang Zongcheng’s intention and, pulling her brother back to their room, said, "We must inform father about this immediately and get him to return from the Capital City at once. Uncle seems likely to use this incident to make trouble for father."

Jiang Yunyi slammed his hand on the table and said, "I’ve seen it too. No wonder others dare to insult us so brazenly. Once news of this spreads, where will our Jiang Family have any dignity in the Cultivation World!"

Jiang Yunlan sat down, a frown on her face as she poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yunyi.

Her chest was still a bit painful; she had been grabbed by Long Fei a while ago.

Although he did it to help her, he had been perhaps too rough.

She comforted her brother by saying, "Father has gone to the Yan Family to seek assistance; as long as the Yan Family agrees to help, uncle can harbor whatever intentions, but the Elders Council will not agree to them."

Jiang Yunyi took a sip of his tea, calming his anger as he said, "Right, I hope the Yan Family will lend a hand and get rid of those two bastards!"

Young people are competitive and not at all like the older generation, who always try to maintain harmony in the face of conflict.

Although Long Fei and Chu Feng did not have any fundamental conflicts of interest with the Jiang Family before, Jiang Yunyi simply could not stand them, especially their close relationship with Li Zhenni.

Moreover, his sister had been teased by them, and he felt his dignity was severely trampled upon and challenged by these two.

He could not accept it; he wanted to fight.

Long Fei and Chu Feng left the Jiang Family premises, followed by a group of disciples who nervously saw them completely off the island before they could finally relax.

Someone pieced together the shattered sign at the gate and immediately reported it to Jiang Zongcheng.

Jiang Zongcheng simply ordered them to find someone to repair it. He was preoccupied with the position of the Family Head and was unconcerned about such an extreme humiliation.

After all the trouble, Long Fei and Chu Feng returned to the company, just in time for lunch.

The two indulged in a big meal at the company canteen, with Lin Yingying unexpectedly attentive, personally waiting on them.

Whatever they asked for water, she provided water; whatever they wanted to eat, she provided the food.

The two of them received treatment befitting heroes.

The company’s employees watched in amazement, envious and resentful of the pair!

Chu Feng, sipping his soup, said with a contented expression, "The food at the company is always delicious. I might as well come back to eat here every day."

Long Fei said, "Don’t. The company can’t afford to keep you if you eat and drink for free like this."

Chu Feng laughed loudly, turning to Lin Yingying, "See that? Your man is quite stingy. After all the life-and-death experiences I’ve shared with him, he begrudges me a few meals."

Lin Yingying smiled and asked them, "What did the Jiang Family say?"

Chu Feng, munching on a leek dumpling, gestured towards Long Fei and said, "Let your man tell you!"

Long Fei frowned and said, "It’s hard to say. The Jiang Family probably has two opinions now; it just depends on which one they’ll adopt. If it comes to the worst, we’ll break the net at the expense of the fish, throw away the company, and go to the mountains to cultivate together!"

"That’s the only way!"

Lin Yingying zoned out for a moment. She was saying that, but deep down, she wasn’t as ready to let go as he was.

The Lin’s Group was the blood, sweat, and tears of generations of the Lin Family; she couldn’t let it be destroyed on her watch.
