"I don't know, let me ask someone," Shi Hao said as he scanned 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 steps quick and eager. He discreetly glanced at Zeng Xianyi, noting the man's age and the imposing aura he exuded, which made it clear just how formidable Zeng Xianyi was. After all, he was a general, commanding respect from all.
"What's going on over there, Zhou?" Shi Hao inquired.
"Colonel Shi, my nephew got into a conflict with someone else and has seriously injured them. You're just in time; you can take him away before he goes completely out of control and ends up committing murder," Zhou Pingyong replied, his tone filled with excitement.
"Murder? Who would dare commit murder in broad daylight? What exactly happened?" Zeng Xianyi frowned, taken aback. He hadn't expected to encounter such troubling matters while attending an auction. He absolutely could not tolerate any heinous acts occurring under his watch.
Seeing Zeng Xianyi's inquiry, Shi Hao quickly explained the situation while giving Zhou Pingyong a knowing glance, prompting him to add a few more details.
Zeng Xianyi listened intently, his brow furrowed in concern.
"What is your nephew's name?" Zeng Xianyi asked. He felt a strange familiarity with the young man Zhou Pingyong mentioned; there weren't many young people in Huaxia with such capability and charisma.
"He—his name is Jiang Chen," Zhou Pingyong answered cautiously.
"Haha, it seems that I have a connection with Mr. Jiang after all! I didn't expect to run into Mr. Jiang here; that's wonderful!" Zeng Xianyi exclaimed, suddenly filled with excitement.
Seeing Zeng Xianyi's reaction, Zhou Pingyong felt a chill run down his spine but still tentatively 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 meaningful look 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 acts recklessly. Zeng Lao, I think you should intervene," Zhou Pingyong 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 an instant, it felt as if the world around him had plunged into darkness; he was falling into an unfathomable abyss.
Zeng Xianyi was not inclined to ponder Zhou Pingyong's thoughts; instead, he found it curious that Mr. Jiang had such an uncle who would come to report him—wasn't that amusing?
Shi Hao quickly grasped the situation; it turned out that the person Zhou Pingyong wanted to report was acquainted with Zeng Lao, and judging by Zeng Lao's attitude, their relationship was quite significant. It was as if the floodwaters had washed over the Dragon King's temple—one family not recognizing another.
Zeng Xianyi shifted his focus from Zhou Pingyong and hurried toward Jiang Chen. The soldiers accompanying him exuded a powerful presence; anyone with keen perception could tell they were military personnel, and given their demeanor, they likely held high ranks within the army.
Shi Hao cleared a path through the crowd for them.
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.
