"Tsubame, are you okay?”
After Ye Fan and Suzumiya Eigetsu left, Chiike Shizuka remembered her sister and instantly came over to help her.
However, Chiike Tsubame pushed her hard. "Who told you to apologize?"
"But Tsubame, you were in the wrong earlier. That man saved us, so we should be thankful," explained Chiike Shizuka softly.
"Thankful? Is he fit to accept our thanks? He is just a nobody from China. How dare he speak to me so rudely. If we were in Japan, I would be sure to land him in some serious trouble."
After recovering from her shock, the more Chiike Tsubame thought about it, the angrier she got.
"We were so unlucky! We are never coming to China again. Forget it. Stop dallying.
Take your things. It's time for us to go to the airport," said Chiike Tsubame angrily before leaving the restaurant with her
younger sister.
In the afternoon.
The flight attendant led the sisters up the flight.
However, Chiike Shizuka seemed to notice something after she boarded and quickly exclaimed softly.
"What?" asked Chiike Tsubame quizzically.
"Tsubame, I think I saw the man we encountered earlier at the restaurant," said Chiike Shizuka softly.
"Stop joking. How is it possible? We are in first class. His dressing looked so cheap, so how could he afford the tickets?" said Chiike Tsubame contemptuously.
Chiike Shizuka said nothing but kept looking around.
But she could no longer spot that silhouette.
"Maybe I was really mistaken.'
Chiike Shizuka shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
Then she sat back down with peace of mind and waited for takeoff.
At 3PM sharp, the international flight finally soared into the sky and headed towards Tokyo.
Ye Fan checked the time while he was in flight.
"Chen Ao and the others are probably there."
Ye Fan mulled in his heart as a smile curved up on his face.
No one knew what Ye Fan was thinking in his head.
Suzumiya Eigetsu finally got onto the flight bound for home, but she couldn't help feeling even more worried.
She looked like she was racked with worry.
And she appeared as though she was hiding something important from Ye Fan.
Meanwhile in Jiangdong.
After Ye Fan left, Li Er and Lei San didn't go home right away.
Instead, they drove to Haozhou.
Over in Haozhou at the Wang family's estate.
The beautiful estate seemed particularly solemn and depressed.
After all, Qin Fei died in Mochizuki Kawa's hands seven days ago.
His corpse was completely battered when it was scooped out of Dongchang Lake.
Qin Fei was Wang Jie-Xi's favorite nephew, so he placed high hopes on Qin Fei.
Both the Wang family and Wang Jie-Xi were devastated by his sudden death.
Wang Jie-Xi remained in sorrow the entire time.
Of course, the entire family, along with Wang Jie-Xi, all lived in fear.
Hence, Wang Jie-Xi didn't even hold a funeral for Qin Fei.
After they brought Qin Fei's body home, they buried it quickly.
Wang Jie-Xi was having dinner on his own in the garden on the family estate.
Wang Jie-Xi used to be an imposing man, but he suddenly aged by a decade in a matter of days.
He quietly sat in the garden, resting his eyes in silence.
No one knew what he was contemplating.
Just then, someone anxiously ran over.
"Mr Wang, someone is looking for you. I believe it's Mr Chen, Master Lei, and Master Li," said the butler softly.
Wang Jie-Xi finally broke his silence and shook his head as he laughed.
"Leave? Where can I go? Our ancestral land is in Haozhou. Am I going to forsake it and run?” said Wang Jie-Xi self-deprecatingly.
"What will come will come. There is no escape," said Wang Jie-Xi as he stood up and entered the darkness.
Inside the Wang house.
Chen Ao, Li Er, and Lei San had already walked in.
"We are old friends, so there's no need to be formal. Just find yourselves a seat."
Wang Jie-Xi waved his hand as he sat on the couch and gestured for them to take a seat.
However, the three of them remained standing as they looked at Wang Jie-Xi coldly with barely any expression on their faces.
The worry in their hearts increased when Wang Yu-Chen and the rest of the clan saw Chen Ao and the others behave this way.
Wang Jie-Xi's wife's eyes instantly turned red.
She knelt on the ground with tears trickling down her face as she begged Chen Ao and the others, "Mr Chen, Master Lei, and Master Li, Jie-Xi made a mistake in a moment's folly. Considering how long we have been friends, please help us ask Mr Chu for forgiveness this once. The Wang family is willing to give up half our assets to appease Mr Chu and for him to pardon us."
The woman continued to beg and cry.
Her voice sounded utterly pitiful.
However, Chen Ao and the other two didn't budge while their expressions remained cold and grave.
The clan instantly lost all hope when they saw this.
They knew it boded ill for the Wang family for sure.
Wang Jie-Xi remained calm while the rest of the family was terrified. He certainly lived up to his name as a leader.
"Go on and tell me how Mr Chu plans to punish me," asked Wang Jie-Xi with a
smile.
Chen Ao and the others said nothing. Instead, they took out a flask of wine and a wine glass and slowly filled the glass.
"Wang Jie-Xi, by Mr Chu's orders, we are here to offer you wine. Drink up."
Chen Ao's deep and resounding voice reverberated through the hall.
Then Chen Ao handed the glass of wine to Wang Jie-Xi.
