"Mr. Jiang, long time no see!" Zeng Xianyi greeted Jiang Chen with a bright smile, completely unfazed by the curious glances and speculation from those around them.
"Zeng Lao, you look more spirited than ever. That's great to see," 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. After taking it, Zeng Xianyi felt significantly younger and more energetic, his eyes no longer clouded. Last year, he even climbed Mount Huashan and Mount Tai, leaving his grandchildren struggling to keep up.
In Zeng Xianyi's eyes, Jiang Chen was a national treasure, an extraordinary talent, a god-like figure deserving of special privileges.
The elderly lady Zhou Duanmei and Zhou Lianhua were initially worried that officials would come to arrest Jiang Chen. However, seeing the friendly exchange between Zeng Xianyi and Jiang Chen eased their concerns.
"Rongli, why didn't you mention this earlier? I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to have such extensive connections and know people in the government," Zhou Duanmei said with relief, feeling 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 laughed.
"I wonder what kind of status Zeng Lao has; considering his age, he must be quite significant. By the way, where are my elder brothers?" Zhou Duanmei asked as she scanned the area.
"They're over there," Zhou Lianhua replied.
Zhou Rongli and the others turned to look and saw Zhou Pingyong looking pale and dejected. Zhou Rongli felt no sympathy for him.
"I advised my brother long ago not to report anything; now look where that got him," Zhou Duanmei said with a feigned expression of sorrow.
"Forget it; it's pointless to reason with them. Did you notice how respectful Zeng Lao seems towards Jiang Chen? What do you think Zeng Lao's rank is in the military?" Zhou Lianhua asked curiously.
"I heard from my brother 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 again. His cheeks were so swollen he could barely speak but continued to point at Jiang Chen, letting out cries of anger and despair.
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 towards the auction venue at the back, quickly forgetting about 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.
With Zhu Xiangyue and his lawyer removed from the scene, his rowdy friends were too frightened to move. Although they were rascals, they weren't foolish; they understood perfectly well that this man named Jiang was not someone to provoke.
The ones escorting Zhu Xiangyue were clearly military personnel. Having such backing in the military was quite impressive indeed.
They hurried over to Dong Mingshui for clarification.
"I tried to reason with him earlier, but you thought I was being timid. Now you see how serious it is! Do you understand 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 even an Inner Strength Expert in martial arts! But 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 previous timidity and looking invigorated.
