Chapter 1057 1033: Farewell, Zhang Shaohu
"Actually, this is a gathering privately organized by some families in Yanjing. But because there are so many families involved, both large and small, many people see it as an opportunity to network."
"Later on, it evolved into a time when everyone agreed to gather together annually, and it can be considered private communication among some families in Yanjing," Xu Tinglan said with a smile.
Ren Feng nodded and asked, "Which families participate?"
"There were many at first, but in recent years representatives from top-tier, middle-tier, and third-tier families have participated, and it's not easy to get in."
"How about you?" Ren Feng asked.
"I'm from the Xu Family, so naturally I have to represent the Xu Family, but the Xu Family doesn't have much presence in Yanjing. I'm purely here for the spectacle," Xu Tinglan said.
Ren Feng nodded again, recalling someone telling him that Yanjing can be roughly divided into three levels of families: upper, middle, and lower. There are only a dozen upper-tier families, over a hundred middle-tier, and several hundred lower-tier.
But most of the resources in Yanjing are controlled by the big families, and smaller families have to rely on the big ones.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this, it's not interesting," Xu Tinglan said, pulling out her phone, "Let's watch a movie together."
"Sure."
Ren Feng said with a smile.
...
After spending about ten hours on the train, the high-speed train had already arrived at Yanjing Station.
The two came out together, followed the flow of people, and arrived at the entrance of Yanjing Station.
"Ren Feng, wait here for a moment, I need to go to the bathroom," Xu Tinglan said with a smile.
Ren Feng nodded.
Meanwhile, in the station, another party had disembarked from another train that had just arrived.
"Finally back."
Zhang Shaohu exhaled, "It's still more comfortable in Yanjing, that Suhang was really stifling."
One of the subordinates stepped forward immediately, "Sir, your second uncle asked you to come back first because he was afraid you'd stir up trouble in Suhang."
"I know, I was warned. Now I've returned to Yanjing and haven't caused him any trouble, what can they do to me?" Zhang Shaohu said impatiently, and thinking about Ren Feng made him extremely angry.
If I see that kid in Yanjing, I'll definitely beat him so badly he won't be able to fend for himself, beat him so bad his mom won't recognize him.
Hei Ci came out from behind, sighing, "I can't go back to the Dragon Squad anymore."
"Don't worry, Dragon Squad or not, what's the big deal? Stick with me in Yanjing and we'll have meat and drink together."
Zhang Shaohu led a group out of the station, and although the crowd was bustling, people were clearing a space around Zhang Shaohu, surrounding him protectively.
Zhang Shaohu was speaking with those around him, despite the issues in Suhang that still left him feeling bitter. If his second uncle hadn't held him back, he would have crushed Ren Feng.
Then, he felt someone bump into him.
"Can't you walk properly..."
Zhang Shaohu, already in a bad mood, saw someone bump into him and instantly flew into a rage, swearing. When he turned around, he froze.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry," Xu Tinglan apologized with a smile, her long hair cascading down alluringly.
Zhang Shaohu chuckled, "Alright, I'm quite easygoing."
"Thank you."
After speaking, Xu Tinglan intended to leave, but suddenly, a nearby subordinate blocked her.
Xu Tinglan's face changed, "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? Miss, although I'm easygoing, there are conditions," Zhang Shaohu smiled. "Simple speaking, I'm interested in you. Spend a night with me."
Due to the grievances with Ren Feng and no way to vent during the days in Hangzhou, Xu Tinglan, being quite attractive, caught his eye.
"In your dreams!" Xu Tinglan's face immediately turned cold.
"Don't refuse so quickly," Zhang Shaohu said with a smirk, "I'm the kind of person who likes to push others into difficult situations. Things others refuse to do, I insist they agree. I've taken a liking to you today, and whether you agree or not, you're mine tonight."
Hei Ci looked helpless; he knew Zhang Shaohu's personality well. But here isn't Suhang. The Zhang Family naturally holds sway in Yanjing, and since the other party is just a commoner, letting Zhang Shaohu have his way isn't a big deal.
Xu Tinglan stepped back slightly, only to find herself surrounded, with curious passengers watching the scene.
A puzzled military officer, stationed nearby, approached, and Hei Ci immediately went up to him, smiling, "Brother, this is a young lady from our Zhang Family, there's no need for you to interfere. I've even had drinks with Mr. Liu before."
Mr. Liu is the chief officer stationed at Yanjing Station, and Hei Ci's mention of the surname was enough to clarify matters for the officer.
The officer looked at Hei Ci, puzzled, "Who are you?"
"I'm Hei Ci from the Dragon Squad, also from Yanjing the Zhang Family."
The officer nodded, "In that case, I won't interfere."
On the other side, Xu Tinglan's face changed, "I'm from the Xu Family!"
"Xu Family?" Zhang Shaohu paused and smiled, "Never heard of the Xu Family. Among Yanjing's twelve elite families, there's no Xu surname. Even among the top-tier families, there's no Xu Family."
"Who are you?" Xu Tinglan was taken aback.
"My name is Zhang Shaohu, you should've heard of me."
"One of Yanjing's notorious ten!"
"Haha, that title is pretty loud, I'll accept it. Today you're coming with me," Zhang Shaohu said, cracking his neck.
At this moment, Xu Tinglan was at a loss for what to do.
"Take her away!"
Zhang Shaohu gestured, but at that moment, a calm voice sounded, "Who told you to touch her?"
The voice was mild, extremely calm, yet it exploded like thunder by Zhang Shaohu and his group's ears, though the passing passengers had no reaction.
This meant Ren Feng's control over True Qi was extremely adept.
The subordinates were jolted by the voice, clutching their ears in discomfort, while Xu Tinglan was joyful and immediately hid behind Ren Feng.
Hei Ci was immediately on high alert when the voice sounded. Seeing Ren Feng, his expression instantly changed.
Zhang Shaohu was the same; his expression was even more exaggerated. Upon seeing Ren Feng, his eyes revealed a mix of shock, anger, and fear.
"It's you?!"
Zhang Shaohu stared at Ren Feng, looking as if he wanted to devour him.
Didn't expect, in Suhang where the revenge couldn't be enacted, now there was hope again!
