Jiang Chen smiled faintly, unfazed by his host's disdain. Instead, he casually sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and leisurely looked at Liu Xifang. "So, tell me, 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 somewhat rude, he was here out of goodwill, and Liu Xifang didn't want to put him in danger.
The backing that the Feng Family had brought in was far 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 insists on knowing, I will explain," Liu Xifang said helplessly. He realized that if he didn't share the details, this young man wouldn't be scared off. Although he looked young, his extraordinary demeanor suggested he had some power.
After the New Year this year, the head of the Feng Family, Feng Laowu, suddenly came to visit him with someone else, claiming they 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 richest in Southwest Province. Since the Liu Family engaged in industry, they had a lot of liquid capital. Therefore, when Feng Laowu visited unexpectedly, Liu Xifang naturally did not greet him warmly. However, Feng Laowu remained calm and composed and boldly asked to borrow ten billion.
That was an outrageous request—how could Liu Xifang possibly agree? But Feng Laowu was unperturbed; he introduced the thin old man who had come with him. Upon hearing about this old man's background, Liu Xifang was greatly alarmed.
This thin old man was named Li Hai Feng and was the Clan Leader of the Corpse Refining Clan from the depths of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains in Southwest China. Liu Xifang had heard some rumors about the Corpse Refining Clan growing up in Southwest Province but had never believed them or investigated further. After all, he was a businessman with no ties to such matters and had no reason to delve into them.
After recovering from his shock, Liu Xifang still refused Feng Laowu and Li Hai Feng's request; there was no way he could hand over ten billion to Li Hai Feng.
Once Liu Xifang refused them, his nightmare began. Li Hai Feng directly used corpse poison against him. Liu Xifang had bodyguards nearby who rushed forward when they saw their boss poisoned. However, Li Hai Feng had brought along a Flying Copper Armored Corpse with him.
This Flying Copper Armored Corpse was impervious to blades and weapons; nothing could harm it at all. This terrified Liu Xifang into submission as he 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 that front.
Nothing mattered more than life itself.
After listening to Liu Xifang's account, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile; it was indeed true—the backing that the Feng Family had found was from 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 the truth but couldn't believe Jiang Chen seemed unconcerned.
"That's great; I'll go find him then," Jiang Chen said with a smile. It would be convenient for him to meet Li Hai Feng in Ningcheng rather than having to venture deep into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
"Mr. Jiang, you... you want to go find him? You really don't need to get involved in this matter; I appreciate your goodwill but trust me when I say that you cannot provoke the Corpse Refining Clan," Liu Xifang advised earnestly.
