Jiang Chen smiled faintly, not minding the owner's disdain. Instead, he sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and relaxedly looked at Liu Xifang, asking, "So, what kind of backing has the Feng Family found?"
"Mr. Jiang, this matter is not something a young person like you should get involved in," Liu Xifang replied, not angry. Although Jiang Chen was a bit rude, he was here to help, and Liu Xifang didn't want to put him in danger.
The backing that the Feng Family had sought was too terrifying; otherwise, Liu Xifang wouldn't have compromised and agreed to marry his daughter to Feng Dong.
"Just tell me what the situation is," Jiang Chen said again, uninterested in hearing Liu Xifang's useless words.
"Well, since Mr. Jiang wants to know, I will tell you," Liu Xifang said helplessly. He realized that Jiang Chen was insistent on knowing the truth. If he didn't speak up, it seemed unlikely that this young man would leave. Despite his youth, Jiang Chen exuded an extraordinary aura and likely had some strength.
After the New Year this year, the head of the Feng Family, Feng Laowu, suddenly came to visit him with someone, claiming he needed to borrow money.
In terms of assets, the Feng Family was certainly not as wealthy as the Liu Family; after all, the Liu Family ranked among the top ten wealthy families in Southwest Province. Since the Liu Family was engaged in industry, they had plenty of liquid funds. Naturally, when Feng Laowu visited unexpectedly, Liu Xifang did not give him a warm reception. However, Feng Laowu remained calm and confident from the start and asked Liu Xifang to lend him ten billion.
This was simply outrageous; how could Liu Xifang agree? But Feng Laowu was not anxious at all. He introduced the thin old man who accompanied him. Upon hearing about this old man's background, Liu Xifang was greatly alarmed.
The old man was named Li Hai Feng and was the Clan Leader of the Corpse Refining Clan hidden within the vast mountains of Southwest Province. Liu Xifang had heard some rumors about the Corpse Refining Clan growing up in Southwest Province but had never believed them or investigated further since he was a businessman with no ties to such matters.
After recovering from his shock, Liu Xifang still refused Feng Laowu and Li Hai Feng's request; there was no way he could provide ten billion to Li Hai Feng.
Once Liu Xifang declined their request, his nightmare began. Li Hai Feng directly used corpse poison against him. Although Liu Xifang had bodyguards nearby who rushed to his aid upon seeing their boss poisoned, Li Hai Feng had brought along a Flying Copper Armored Corpse.
This Flying Copper Armored Corpse was impervious to blades and axes; nothing could harm it at all. This frightened Liu Xifang into submission as he reluctantly agreed to provide ten billion to Li Hai Feng. Seizing the opportunity, Feng Laowu then demanded that Liu Xifang marry his daughter to his son. Ultimately, Liu Xifang also compromised on this matter.
Nothing was more important than life itself.
After listening to Liu Xifang's account, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile; it was indeed true that the backing sought by the Feng Family was from members of the Corpse Refining Clan.
"Manager Liu, is that Clan Leader from the Corpse Refining Clan also in Ningcheng now?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Uh, yes. He will be attending the wedding today," Liu Xifang replied in surprise. He had already told Jiang Chen everything honestly, yet Jiang Chen seemed unfazed.
"That's good; I'll go find him then," Jiang Chen said with a smile. Meeting Li Hai Feng in Ningcheng would save him from having to venture deep into the mountains.
"Mr. Jiang, you... you want to find him? This really doesn't require your help; I appreciate your goodwill, but you truly cannot provoke the Corpse Refining Clan," Liu Xifang advised earnestly.
