God! ...

Chapter 256 Not Small

"Exactly!"

"I hope that Patriarch Jiang will let this matter drop for the sake of my master."

Shen Luoyi made her request again at this moment.

Jiang Hai remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

After all, the matter involved Master Hengshan, and he didn't expect that Shen Luoyi would go to such lengths to plead for Ye Feng.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shan, Jiang Li'er's father, quickly spoke up.

"Brother, this absolutely cannot be left like this!"

"So many people witnessed this. If we swallow our anger, how will the Jiang family maintain its reputation in Zhonghai? Wouldn't we become a laughingstock?"

After Jiang Shan finished speaking, everyone echoed his words.

"That makes sense. The dignity of the Jiang family cannot be violated; to do so is certain death!"

"Exactly! We have to teach that kid a lesson. There's absolutely no room for negotiation!"

"Although the Hengshan Sect is powerful, our Jiang family is not weak either. Besides, they are far away in the mountains. Would they really protect this kid? It's all nonsense!"

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation, and there was not a trace of fear in their words.

As a prominent family in Zhonghai, they naturally have plenty of confidence and don't even take some sects seriously.

Even if the Hengshan Sect were to get involved, it's hard to say whether they would be a match for them, especially since the Jiang family isn't without powerful backers.

Seeing this, Jiang Hai nodded and said calmly, "Miss Shen, you've seen what happened. It's not that I don't want to give you face, but this matter has aroused public outrage."

"So I can't agree to that. Please leave."

A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Luoyi's face.

She thought that bringing up her lineage would offer some room for maneuver and even intimidate the Jiang family, but she didn't expect the Jiang family to be even more stubborn than she had imagined.

What should we do now?

Shen Luoyi was at a loss for what to do; she had already exhausted all her methods.

Cough!

Just then, a coughing sound came in.

An elderly man with gray hair and a slightly hunched posture slowly walked in.

Upon seeing the old man, everyone in the conference room stood up at the same time, because the old man was none other than the patriarch of the Jiang family, named Jiang Zhentian.

Despite his advanced age, he is actually the pillar of the Jiang family.

Jiang Hai quickly stepped forward to help Grandpa Jiang up, and asked with some concern, "Dad, why are you here?"

He couldn't help but wonder if what happened at the banquet had alerted the other party.

But this matter is neither a big deal nor a small one; logically speaking, it's unlikely.

Jiang Zhentian ignored him and turned his gaze to Shen Luoyi. Jiang Hai did not dare to be negligent and immediately introduced her identity and the purpose of his visit.

After hearing this, Jiang Zhentian nodded slightly and finally said, "Young lady, I agree to this matter. We will let it go. Our Jiang family will no longer pursue his responsibility. You can go back now."

Shen Luoyi was a little puzzled. She didn't expect that things would go so smoothly as soon as the old man of the Jiang family came out.

She didn't dare delay, quickly cupping her hands in a respectful bow, "Thank you so much for your kindness, sir. I am deeply grateful. Farewell!"

After saying that, Shen Luoyi turned and left quickly.

From beginning to end, no one dared to raise any objection to Jiang Zhentian's words, as if the entire Jiang family was his personal fiefdom.

"Dad, you didn't actually need to get involved in this," Jiang Hai said, somewhat puzzled.

"Our Jiang family owes Master Hengshan some favors, so let's consider this a way of repaying him. It's not a big deal in itself."

Hearing this, Jiang Hai was not surprised.

He had heard about this before, which is why he was so shocked when he saw the Hengshan Sect's token.

However, it seems unnecessary to let Ye Feng's disrespectful behavior be overlooked because of this.

"Dad, Master Hengshan has been detached from worldly affairs for a long time, this matter..."

Jiang Hai's question was also the question of everyone in the Long family present.

It's a trivial matter. Even if we kill Ye Feng, what difference will it make?

Just like I said before, could the Hengshan Sect really be able to rush to Zhonghai and become their enemy because of this kid?

Amidst everyone's confusion, Jiang Zhencai slowly said, "This kid's identity is probably not simple; there are people in the capital who want to protect him..."

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other in astonishment.

How could an unknown young man, with a seemingly insignificant matter, possibly cause such a stir in the capital?

......

Here.

Shen Xukun is reporting the latest news to Su Chaofeng.

At this moment, his words sounded incredibly humble: "Young Master Su, Shen Luoyi has already broken off the engagement with that boy. This matter has nothing to do with our Shen family anymore."

Upon hearing this, Su Chaofeng snorted coldly, "They're quite sensible, and fast enough too!"

"In that case, let's deal with that kid first, and then deal with Su Yiqing. Neither of them can escape."

Shen Xukun breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt a little smug.

Finally, I have a chance to get revenge on that brat Ye Feng. Although it caused quite a bit of trouble, the result was still pretty good!

So he cautiously inquired, "Young Master Su, do you already have a plan?"

Su Chaofeng smiled confidently, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a piercing sound rang in his ears.

The window directly opposite shattered instantly, and a sharp arrow shot in from the front. Su Chaofeng, as if he were very experienced, rolled to the side with a flip.

Even so, it was still inevitable that she would get hurt.

An arrow whizzed past him, slicing a bloody gash across his arm. Su Chaofeng hissed in pain, "Ah! An assassin! Quick, take me and run!"

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, throwing the Shen family into chaos.

At Su Chaofeng's prompting, they hurriedly escorted him to a closed room. Once they were finally safe, Su Chaofeng was furious.

The incident at last night's banquet had just ended, and my anger hadn't subsided yet, and now this has happened again!

Damn it, why is my life so miserable?

"Has the assassin left?" Su Chaofeng asked, distressed.

"Reporting to Young Master Su, there is no more movement outside."

"But... there seemed to be something like a letter on the crossbow bolts they just fired?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chaofeng was taken aback.

Holding the crossbow bolt in his hand, he then discovered that something was indeed tied to it. What was going on? Was it a flying arrow for delivering a message?

Fuck!

What despicable tactics these are!

Su Chaofeng angrily took down the letter, glanced at it, and became even more furious, cursing loudly.

"Damn it! Su Yiqing, you little bitch, you're asking for it! You actually dared to threaten me like this!"

"Do you really think I don't have a temper?"
