Chapter 409 - I Am Also a Member of the Han Family

his approach."Of course I am smart. There’s no need for you to remind me." Wang Zheng casually threw back a sentence that made Pan Lianming feel like he was going to choke, how could this guy's mouth...Chapter 409 - I Am Also a Han Family Member

Zhang Bowen's shouts outside finally stopped, but another sound emerged. The general’s residence was quite lively in the middle of the night.

Zhang Yanxu had exhausted himself from beating up, and Zhang Bowen was covered in bruises, having never endured such violent treatment before. But seeing that Zhang Yanxu had stopped, even though he was severely injured, he dared not make a sound for fear of infuriating his father again, which would invite another beating.

Zhang Yanxu glanced at the corner where Zhang Yani, wrapped in a bath towel, was shivering. The towel was rather small, more like a large hand towel; it couldn't cover Zhang Yani's important body parts. Upon seeing her father look over, Zhang Yani instinctively pulled up the towel to cover her chest properly but neglected that her lower half was exposed. Just as Zhang Yanxu wanted to throw the stool at the corner where Zhang Yani was crouched, he suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

"Dad, Dad, come quickly!" Zhang Bowen hurriedly called for help, while Zhang Yani took advantage of the opportunity to hide in the bathroom inside the house.

The medical staff from the general’s residence rushed over to provide emergency care. Zhang Yanxu only had a sudden attack due to anger and wasn't seriously injured; he was taken back to rest. As for the severely injured young master, they didn’t dare look at him too closely themselves. The people working in the general’s residence were astute and knew when to keep quiet if their masters wanted them to.

"Your second uncle fainted." Wang Zheng went out to take a look and came back to tell Han Xingye, "But it shouldn’t be serious; he probably just fainted from anger."

"Sigh, now even looking at my second uncle seems rather pitiful." Han Xingye felt somewhat touched.

"Once you see the garden villa he has enclosed for himself and how he indulges your cousins' misdeeds, you won't feel sorry for him anymore." Wang Zheng is clearly still harboring resentment.

"Right, what brings you here Spit it out quickly," urged Wang Zheng to Yang Ming.

"Brother Zheng, Pan Lianming has made a move," said Yang Ming in a mysterious tone.

"Oh" Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

Soon after Pan Xiaoning was beaten up, the news reached Pan Lianming. As the founder of Fuzhou's Black Hand Society, Pan Lianming had little regard for minor incidents like this; there had been instances before where his own son got into conflicts with others, but he generally didn't intervene. If his son couldn’t handle such matters himself, it would be a waste of the heir to the Black Hand Society’s status. Besides, Pan Lianming, who came from a poor and humble background, always wanted his sons to face hardships and challenges so they could stand on their own feet in the future. However, this time seemed different. Not only had a single person caused severe damage to the Tian Lun Entertainment City, leaving countless bodyguards powerless, but seeing his only son beaten up also got under Pan Lianming's skin.

After listening to Pan Xiaoning’s nervous recount of what happened, Pan Lianming grasped the situation. His son had attempted to kill someone, which was not an uncommon occurrence in the Black Hand Society. He knew Hu Mingkai a bit and understood that even he failed against this person, indicating that their opponent wasn’t ordinary. Moreover, since this person was also the bridegroom of Lady Zhang’s granddaughter from General's Manor, dealing with him would be quite difficult.

Pan Lianming did indeed have a good relationship with Zhang Yanhang; it wouldn't be possible for the Black Hand Society to grow to its current level without some kind of background support. Under the shade of the big tree, one can enjoy the coolness. Zhang Yanhang had facilitated many things for Pan Lianming and vice versa. For example, before Zhang Yanhang left for Beijing to further his political career by building connections, Pan Lianming personally saw him off and even gave him some travel expenses. If that amount of money wasn’t impressive enough, how could Zhang Yanhang take it seriously If Zhang Yanhang could advance further in politics, it would certainly be beneficial to Pan Lianming as well. Pan Lianming was good at calculating his benefits and wasn't afraid to invest heavily.

However, after investigating this Wang Zheng who turned out to be the boyfriend of Zhang Yanhang's niece, things became complicated. When Pan Lianming called Zhang Yanhang試探性地詢問這件事時，那時候王錚剛從張雁行的辦公室離開。而對潘連明的詢問，張雁行的回答是：“他不是我外甥女的男朋友，隻是個小混混而已，其他的事情我也不是很清楚。”

Zhang Yanxing's attitude was quite clear; he acted as if he knew nothing about the matter, which itself was a kind of hint.

So Pan Lianming summoned his top few experts in the middle of the night. Since he had decided to eliminate this person, he wanted to make sure everything went smoothly. It had been many years since Pan Lianming had treated someone with such seriousness.

"If he’s setting a trap and I don’t walk into it, would that show how timid I am" Wang Zheng found the situation getting interesting. One of the most powerful gangs in southeastern China was involved, so maybe it was time to test their waters.

"Brother Zheng, should we take action now" Yang Ming seemed eager.

"Let’s wait for now; a mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." Wang Zheng felt confident in his plan. However, what Yang Ming said next almost made him spit blood.

"Brother Zheng, are you saying you’re a bird"

"No education is truly terrifying; you're embarrassing me!" Wang Zheng was speechless at the serious expression on Alphonse's face.

The next morning, Han Xingye brought Wang Zheng to visit her second uncle.

Zhang Yanxian wasn't at work today. When Han Xingye arrived, he was sipping tea on a rattan chair in the small courtyard. Seeing Han Xingye, he managed to squeeze out a smile: "Xiaoye is here."

"Uncle Two, I heard you fainted yesterday. Are you okay" Han Xingye cared about his uncle quite a bit.

"I'm fine; it was just high blood pressure. As one gets older, the body can't keep up." Zhang Yanxian's face showed some embarrassment as he recalled last night's scene. However, now he had transferred all his anger to the "scoundrel" beside Han Xingye and naturally didn’t have a good expression for Wang Zheng.

"Uncle Two, you need to pay attention to your diet and exercise more. Don't just focus on work." The purpose of this visit from Han Xingye was to mend relations with the Zhang family; hence he needed to behave properly in front of Zhang Yanxian.

"Alright, Xiaoye really has grown up and now cares about his uncle." If only my own children were as considerate, thought Zhang Yanxian. At this moment, it suddenly seemed unimportant to him whether his political career or his children's future turned out well. No matter how high a position he held, these unambitious children would eventually exhaust him and even jeopardize his reputation in old age. If those two siblings had some talent, he would rather not worry about his career at all. This thought suddenly occurring to Zhang Yanxian surprised himself.

"Xiaoye, we are after all family. You don't have any brothers or sisters; your cousins are the closest people in this generation. They may sometimes act irresponsibly, but they're still blood relatives. Therefore, no matter what happens, we can’t let outsiders laugh at us."

"I know that, Uncle Two. My grandfather and father think the same way. After all, we are family. Regarding last time’s incident, please don't be upset with us."

"Of course not; I know what kind of people they are—deserving a beating, but only by members of our own families. We won’t mention last time's matter anymore. Uncle Two wasn’t angry at all." As Zhang Yanxian spoke, he glanced at Wang Zheng again and deliberately emphasized the words "family members."d King was their god of missions. His legendary life also inspired many to strive towards his level.Originally, when Wang Zheng disappeared for a few years, people thought he had died; but now it turn...
