"Mr. Jiang, long time no see!" Zeng Xianyi greeted Jiang Chen with a bright smile, completely unfazed by the curious glances and speculations of those around them.
"Zeng Lao, you look more spirited than ever," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
"Thanks to you," Zeng Xianyi said cheerfully. Indeed, it was thanks to Jiang Chen that he felt rejuvenated. When Jiang Chen left the capital years ago, he had given Zeng Xianyi a pill, which made him feel significantly younger and more energetic. Last year, he even climbed Mount Hua and Mount Tai, leaving his grandchildren struggling to keep up.
In Zeng Xianyi's eyes, Jiang Chen was a unique talent, a god-like figure worthy of special privileges.
The elderly lady, Zhou Duanmei, and Zhou Lianhua were initially worried that officials might come to arrest Jiang Chen. However, seeing the friendly exchange between Zeng Xianyi and Jiang Chen put them at ease.
"Zhou Rongli, why didn't you say earlier? I didn't expect Jiang Chen to have such extensive connections and know people in the government," Zhou Duanmei said with a sigh of relief. She felt she had made the right bet by not siding with her elder brother.
"Honestly, I didn't know either. Xiao Chen hasn't shared many details with me," Zhou Rongli replied with a smile.
"I wonder what kind of status Zeng Lao has. Given his age, he must have some significant background. By the way, where are my brothers?" Zhou Duanmei asked as she scanned the area.
"They're over there," Zhou Lianhua pointed out.
Zhou Rongli and the others looked over and saw Zhou Pingyong's ashen face and lost expression. Zhou Rongli felt no stir of emotion within her.
"I advised my brother long ago not to report anything; now look where it has gotten him," Zhou Duanmei said with a feigned look of sorrow.
"Forget it; it's pointless to reason with them. Did you notice how polite Zeng Lao is towards Jiang Chen? What do you think Zeng Lao's rank is in the military?" Zhou Lianhua asked curiously.
"I heard from my brothers that Shi Hao is a colonel. So Zeng Lao must be at least at the general level," Zhou Duanmei speculated.
While Jiang Chen was chatting with Zeng Xianyi, Zhu Xiangyue was lifted up again. His swollen face rendered him unable to speak, yet he continued pointing at Jiang Chen, letting out cries of indignation.
Zeng Xianyi frowned slightly and exchanged glances with Shi Hao.
Shi Hao quickly led his men to escort Zhu Xiangyue away. Zhu Xiangyue's lawyer attempted to intervene but was also taken away.
Zeng Xianyi's methods were straightforward and forceful. Once Zhu Xiangyue was gone, the atmosphere in the room returned to calm as the auction was about to begin. Many people started moving toward the auction venue at the back, quickly dismissing the earlier commotion. After all, with the An family and Zhu family in conflict, they were merely spectators in this drama; their own affairs were best left untouched.
As Zhu Xiangyue and his lawyer were taken away, his so-called friends stood frozen in fear. Though they were spoiled brats, they weren't fools; they understood that this man named Jiang was not someone to be trifled with.
The ones who took Zhu Xiangyue away were clearly military personnel. Having such backing in the military—wow, this was quite a big deal.
They hurried over to Dong Mingshui for information.
"I tried to persuade them earnestly just now; did you think I was being cowardly? Now do you see why I'm so afraid of Mr. Jiang? Because I almost lost my life at his hands last time! Haha! A martial artist—who doesn't know? My bodyguard is an Inner Strength Expert in martial arts, yet before Mr. Jiang, he's nothing! Mr. Jiang stands at the pinnacle of martial arts; provoking someone like him leads to no good end," Dong Mingshui declared confidently now that he felt he had made a wise decision, shaking off his earlier timidity and appearing refreshed.
