"I don't know, let me ask someone," Shi Hao said, scanning the area. His gaze landed on Zhou Pingyong, who was looking at him eagerly, and he waved him over.
Zhou Pingyong hurriedly ran over, his demeanor a mix of excitement and anxiety. He discreetly sized up Zeng Xianyi, noting the general's imposing presence and dignified aura. It was clear that Zeng Xianyi was a formidable figure—a general who commanded respect.
"What's going on over there, Zhou?" Shi Hao inquired.
"Colonel Shi, it's my nephew who got into a fight with someone else. He's seriously injured the other person. You're just in time to take him away; otherwise, if he goes wild, he might end up killing someone," Zhou Pingyong replied, his tone filled with urgency.
"Killing? Who would dare to kill in broad daylight? What exactly happened?" Zeng Xianyi frowned, surprised that a simple auction could lead to such troubling events. He absolutely could not tolerate any violent incidents occurring under his watch.
Seeing Zeng Xianyi's concern, Shi Hao quickly explained the situation while giving Zhou Pingyong a meaningful glance, prompting him to add more details.
As Zeng Xianyi listened, his brow furrowed deeper. "What is your nephew's name?" he asked, sensing familiarity with the young man Zhou Pingyong mentioned. It was rare for someone from Huaxia to possess such capability and charisma.
"He—his name is Jiang Chen," Zhou Pingyong replied cautiously.
"Haha, it seems I have a connection with Mr. Jiang! I never expected to run into Mr. Jiang here; this is wonderful!" Zeng Xianyi exclaimed, suddenly filled with excitement.
Zhou Pingyong felt a chill run down his spine at Zeng Xianyi's reaction but hesitantly asked, "Zeng Lao, do you know him?"
"Of course I do! I just didn't realize you were Mr. Jiang's uncle," Zeng Xianyi said with a knowing look directed at Zhou Pingyong.
Under Zeng Xianyi's gaze, Zhou Pingyong felt a wave of dread wash over him. "I—I may be Jiang Chen's uncle, but he disregards the law and kills at will. Zeng Lao, I think you should intervene," he stammered, struggling to find his voice.
"Mr. Jiang killing a few people? What's the big deal? Those people deserved it," Zeng Xianyi replied dismissively.
Zhou Pingyong was left speechless, his mind racing as he stood frozen in place. In that moment, it felt as if the world around him had plunged into darkness, and he was falling into an unfathomable abyss.
Zeng Xianyi was oblivious to Zhou Pingyong's turmoil; instead, he found it curious that Mr. Jiang had such an uncle who would come forward to report him—wasn't that amusing?
Shi Hao had keen insight and quickly realized that the person Zhou Pingyong wanted to report was actually known to Zeng Lao. Moreover, judging by Zeng Lao's attitude, their relationship seemed significant—this was like flooding the Dragon King's temple; one family member didn't recognize another.
Zeng Xianyi shifted his attention away from Zhou Pingyong and hurried toward Jiang Chen's direction. The military personnel exuded a powerful aura; anyone with keen perception could tell they were soldiers, and given their demeanor, they likely held high ranks within the military.
Shi Hao cleared a path through the crowd as they made their way forward.
Zeng Xianyi's sharp gaze quickly locked onto Jiang Chen. Upon seeing him, a smile instantly spread across Zeng Xianyi's stern face, as if an old friend had reunited after a long separation, bringing an involuntary joy to his expression.
