Chapter 171: The Yan Brothers
When the bald-headed man standing nearby saw this scene, he was also very shocked. However, he was very tactful and did not speak much. He quietly stood aside with his hands tied. What the boss was doing was not something he could question.
“A Li, you must be very surprised in your heart, right?”
Yan Zhongping reached out and closed Jin Qianbao’s eyelids, then smiled faintly.
“The boss has deep intentions behind everything he does. A Li is slow-witted and is content to run errands and be a helper for the boss.”
The bald-headed man nodded with a smile.
“I killed him for two reasons. First, he was already beyond saving and would die within a day at most. Second, he lied to me. Although what he said earlier was true, it did not happen the way he described.”
Yan Zhongping chuckled softly, then stood up and walked back behind the desk.
A Li did not speak. He just followed and stood by the desk.
“The young man who took action is a very terrifying Expert. I am certain that if it were not for advanced technology and a sound legal system making rash actions inconvenient, if it were in ancient times, this kind of master would have already come to kill us without caring about anything!”
Yan Zhongping spoke slowly, and his expression did not show any tension. “I do not know when we offended such a young Expert. It seems I must go back and ask properly. The biggest asset of a young person is their unlimited potential. We cannot give him a chance to grow.”
“The boss is right. Since there is a threat, we should nip it in the bud as soon as possible.”
A Li responded.
“He is no baby in a cradle. He has already grown up and is very powerful. I do not know where Jin Qianbao offended him, causing the other party to come looking for him. Jin Qianbao wanted to use the name of our Yan Family to intimidate the other party, but he did not expect that the other party already had a grudge with us.”
Yan Zhongping shook his head, and the corner of his mouth lifted slightly. “The result was that the other party used his words to give our Yan Family a good intimidation instead. This young man is not simple at all!”
“I will send people to investigate immediately and see if we can find out any information.”
A Li said quickly.
“Yes, we must investigate. With such a young man watching us covetously, our days will not be easy. Bring all the surveillance footage from Kaixuan back and identify it carefully for me. See if we can find this person.”
Yan Zhongping nodded. A Li quickly responded, then hurriedly left the office. When he left, he also took Jin Qianbao’s body out.
Pressing a button on the desk, the automatic window immediately opened. The breeze quickly carried away the faint smell of decay in the room. Although ordinary people could not smell it, Yan Zhongping was no ordinary Martial Arts practitioner. He had already entered the True Qi Cultivation Realm, and his sense of smell was far beyond that of an ordinary person.
Only when the smell in the office had completely dissipated did he press the button again to close the window. Then he made a phone call.
“Elder Brother, there is something I must tell you.”
“Zhongping, what is it? Did something happen?”
Yan Zhongqing sat in the car, a trace of doubt flashing across his face. Yan Zhongping was the second child in the family, his younger brother. He was known for being calm and meticulous. The Yan Family’s success today was largely due to him, as he basically managed the family’s business.
“Yesterday, Kaixuan Bar was smashed. This morning, that guy Jin Qianbao died in my office.”
Yan Zhongping said with unusual calmness.
“What happened? Could it be some business rival who did it?”
Frowning, Yan Zhongqing asked.
“No. The one who took action was a young man. It is said he also has a grudge with our Yan Family. He said we must repay our debts. That guy Jin Qianbao had his internal organs completely destroyed by him, but there was no visible abnormality on the surface of his body. He is a remarkable Expert.”
Yan Zhongping briefly explained the situation, then asked, “I want to ask Elder Brother if the Yan Family has recently provoked any powerful enemies?”
“Powerful enemies? I do not remember any. Wait! No, I remember now!”
At first, Yan Zhongqing did not recall, but something suddenly flashed in his mind, and his body shuddered slightly. “Some time ago, we made a very big enemy. The other party was also a young man with very high Martial Arts. Green Snake died at his hands.”
“What! Green Snake died? Why did I not hear about it?”
A flicker passed through his eyes, and Yan Zhongping showed a surprised expression for the first time.
“Yes, it was because of this young man that Langshi and Situ Xiu from the Situ Family broke off their engagement. He is not simple. We hired an Expert from Blood Thorn to assassinate him, but it failed.”
Yan Zhongqing sighed. “Could it be that this young man has come looking for us? If that is the case, he already knows that our Yan Family was behind it!”
“If that is really the case, then we must make preparations as soon as possible. It is very unwise to offend such a young Expert. I hope that person is him. Otherwise, if we offend two such promising young men in a row, our Yan Family will be in big trouble!”
Yan Zhongping also sighed slightly. The two talked a few more words, then ended the call.
Sitting in the car, Yan Zhongqing also felt restless. After thinking for a while, he still made a phone call and asked someone to quickly check Lin Mu’s recent movements to see if this matter was related to him.
The Yan Family’s strength was also very substantial. In less than half a day, they had mostly figured out the whole story. Not only was Shen Xue captured by the Yan Family’s people, but even Lu Kun could not escape. They were all taken away by the people sent by the Yan Family.
From their mouths, the Yan Family easily sorted out the matter. Although the person in the surveillance footage did not look like Lin Mu, from his build, they could see some clues. Most importantly, this matter started because of Yao Xianxian, and he happened to come to Jingdu with Yao Xianxian to film a movie.
With these clues, the Yan Family immediately concluded that the young man in the video surveillance was Lin Mu himself.
“This is extremely stupid! These useless people only cause trouble for me!”
After reading the investigation report submitted by his subordinates, Yan Zhongqing angrily slammed the table.
“Master, what is wrong?”
The old steward standing nearby quickly asked.
“Look at this information!”
Yan Zhongqing was so angry he did not want to say much. He pushed the folder on the table forward.
The old steward quickly stepped forward and carefully read the contents of the documents. His brows immediately furrowed deeply.
“Master, this celebrity Yao Xianxian, could she be from the Yao Family?”
The old steward looked at Yan Zhongqing uncertainly and asked doubtfully.
“She is from the Yao Family! I only found out unintentionally not long ago. The Yao Family’s strength is no less than our Yan Family. In some aspects, they are even stronger. These idiots actually thought of drugging this Yao Xianxian!”
Yan Zhongqing clenched his fist, his eyes full of anger. “And that Dong Yueming, with so many small celebrities and models to play with, he had to go after that Yao Xianxian. Isn’t this seeking death?”
“Master, I think Boss Dong probably did not know Yao Xianxian’s background either?”
The old steward put down the documents and said.
“Nonsense! He certainly did not know. If he knew Yao Xianxian was from the Yao Family, even if you gave him three times the courage, he would not dare to have such thoughts!”
Yan Zhongqing said angrily.
“I see in the documents that Boss Dong’s health seems to have problems now. He is looking for doctors everywhere!”
The old steward said doubtfully.
“There is no need to look. That night when Lin Mu went to find Yao Xianxian, he was also there. All his bodyguards were dealt with by Lin Mu. I do not believe Lin Mu would let him off. He must have done something to him too. Did you not see what happened to Jin Qianbao?”
Yan Zhongqing snorted disdainfully. As an ambitious Family Head of a great family, he looked down the most on local bosses like Dong Yueming who only knew how to have fun and enjoy life. If not for his money, the Yan Family would not have any dealings with him.
“This young man is not simple. At such a young age, I do not know how he practiced his Martial Arts. Could it be that there is an even more powerful Expert behind him?”
The old steward pondered for a while, then speculated with some surprise.
“That is not impossible. No matter how talented a person is, if no one teaches him Martial Arts, it is hard to Cultivate so fast. I did not expect that a momentary mistake would bring such a strong enemy to the Yan Family. This time it is really a miscalculation!”
Yan Zhongqing sighed, looking somewhat helpless.
“Master, you need not worry too much for now. Judging from Lin Mu’s actions, he clearly also has some concerns. Otherwise, with his strength, if he wanted revenge, probably few in the Yan Family could escape. We still have some time to plan carefully.”
A glint flashed in the old steward’s eyes as he comforted.
“That is true, but while we have time to catch our breath, that kid Lin Mu will not stay still. Looking at his current strength, he is clearly much more powerful than before. If we wait a few more years, who knows how strong he will become.”
Yan Zhongqing shook his head. “Moreover, now we have inexplicably offended the Yao Family. We do not even know how the Yao Family will react. Ah! It is really a time of many troubles. After so many years of smooth sailing for our Yan Family, are we finally going to experience some hardships?”
“Master, actually this matter has both advantages and disadvantages. It may bring some trouble to the Yan Family, but for the young master, it is a good thing. Just as a sword’s edge is honed from grinding, and plum blossoms’ fragrance comes from bitter cold, the young master needs to be properly tempered if he wants to succeed as the Family Head. This incident is an opportunity!”
The old steward smiled slightly.
“What you say makes sense. Langshi is still too young and has not experienced many things. He is indeed somewhat inadequate to take the position of Family Head. Since that is the case, then let Langshi participate more in this matter. It will also give him a chance to train.”
Yan Zhongqing nodded, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. Then he quietly thought to himself. Seeing him like this, the old steward tactfully quietly withdrew, closing the door behind him.
At this time, at the five-star hotel where Dong Yueming had stayed, a group of police officers suddenly arrived at the front desk. They showed their badges and stated that they needed to inspect one of the rooms for a case investigation.
When the waiter took the police officers upstairs in the elevator and used the key card to open the door, what appeared before them was the room Dong Yueming had stayed in. Because there had been a fight in the room that day, the hotel was renovating it, and no one had checked in yet.
