"I don't know, let me ask someone," Shi Hao said, scanning the crowd. He noticed Zhou Pingyong looking at him eagerly and waved him over.
Zhou Pingyong hurriedly approached, glancing at Zeng Xianyi. Judging by Zeng Xianyi's age and the imposing aura he exuded even without anger, Zhou Pingyong understood just how formidable he was. After all, he was a General, deserving of respect.
"What's going on over there, Zhou?" Shi Hao inquired.
"Shi Da Xiao, my nephew got into a conflict with someone and has seriously injured them. You're just in time; you can take him away directly. Otherwise, if he goes wild, he might end up killing someone," Zhou Pingyong replied, his tone filled with excitement.
"Killing? Who would dare to kill in broad daylight? What exactly happened?" Zeng Xianyi frowned, surprised that a simple auction would lead to such troubling events. He 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 look to prompt him to add more details.
As Zeng Xianyi listened, his brow furrowed deeper.
"What is your nephew's name?" Zeng Xianyi asked. He felt a strange familiarity with the young man Zhou Pingyong mentioned; it was rare for someone in Huaxia to possess such capability and charisma.
"He—his name is Jiang Chen," Zhou Pingyong answered cautiously.
"Haha, it seems I have a connection with Mr. Jiang! I didn't expect to run into him here; this is wonderful!" Zeng Xianyi exclaimed, suddenly filled with excitement.
Seeing Zeng Xianyi's reaction, Zhou Pingyong felt a chill run down his spine but tentatively asked, "Zeng Lao, do you know him?"
"Of course I do! I just didn't expect you to be Mr. Jiang's uncle," Zeng Xianyi said with a meaningful glance 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 kills at will. 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 blank as he stood frozen in place. In that moment, it felt as if the entire world had plunged into darkness; he was plummeting into an unfathomable abyss.
Zeng Xianyi paid no mind to Zhou Pingyong's thoughts; he found it odd that Mr. Jiang had such an uncle who would come forward to report him—wasn't that amusing?
Shi Hao was perceptive enough to realize that the person Zhou Pingyong wanted to report was actually acquainted with Zeng Lao. Given Zeng Lao's attitude, their relationship seemed significant—this was like flooding the Dragon King's temple where family members didn't recognize each other.
Zeng Xianyi shifted his gaze from Zhou Pingyong and quickly made his way toward Jiang Chen.
The military personnel exuded a powerful aura; anyone with keen insight could guess they were soldiers. Judging by their demeanor, they likely held high ranks within the military.
Shi Hao cleared a path through the crowd.
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.
