Chapter 202 Seeking the Boss's Punishment
Indeed, the person who had arrived was none other than Young Master He of the He Family, He Feichen.
Half a month prior, after the crisis Ling Fan faced was resolved, He Feichen was also forcefully requested to take the position of the Family Head, whereas before he had not been involved in administration due to not holding the position.
Now that he had taken the seat of the Family Head, he realized that there were too many affairs to handle, and he hadn't found the opportunity to visit Ling Fan. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
A few days ago, he came to Binzhou to sort out some secular businesses he had managed during his leisure time, planning to return to Zhongnan today after handling everything, and to visit the Qiao Family and Ling Fan tomorrow.
However, he had not anticipated that there would be so many complications, and upon receiving an urgent plea for help from the vice president of the Binzhou branch of the Martial Association, he immediately brought people with him and hurried over.
Originally furious, He Feichen entered the hall and immediately froze upon seeing Ling Fan on stage; he even thought he was hallucinating.
After confirming it several times, he finally ascertained the situation, because Yun Fei was right beside him, and it seemed Zhou Tianlu and others were there as well, though they looked as though something had happened.
Not to mention that Yun Fei appeared rather disheveled, but Zhou Tianlu and a few others were sprawled on the ground, clearly having been beaten!
At this thought, his heart began to race, recalling Vice President He Chuan's plea for help, "Damn it, they didn't just have a conflict with the boss, did they?"
Sweat instantly broke out on He Feichen's forehead as he swiftly approached Ling Fan.
The people in the hall had not noticed He Feichen's arrival; he had entered the door without the same overwhelming presence as Hong Feng and Yuan Long, so most people's attention was still on Yuan Long and Ma Ji, awaiting their impressive performance.
It was only due to their angle of sight that they were the first to notice He Feichen's figure.
They had been ready to make a sudden move and take down Ling Fan, but with Young Master He appearing, they felt it would be somewhat impolite to act rashly.
Additionally, they were feeling uneasy about Ling Fan's background; they had lost their rationality in their fury earlier, but now that they had calmed down, they began to notice issues.
Not to mention anyone else, Yuan Deyong was at the Middle Stage of the Fourth Grade Martial King, and anyone who could kill him like this must have a cultivation no weaker than theirs. Also, this kid daring to provoke them so blatantly couldn't just be due to a momentary lapse of reason, could it?
Now with Young Master He's sudden appearance, the two let out sighs of relief. With Young Master He there, they need not worry.
Although Young Master He's cultivation was average, not as strong as theirs, the mysterious boss behind him was incredibly powerful. Now that He Feichen had appeared, it's possible that the boss was also nearby.
The two had never seen Ling Fan before and were actually quite eager to catch a glimpse of that enigmatic young man.
For a moment, they even forgot about their intention to trouble Ling Fan, standing still and simply watching He Feichen as he approached.
Faced with the two's inexplicable silence, the people present began to scratch their heads in confusion again.
"No way, what are these two up to? Why aren't they acting anymore? Weren't they just acting all tough and calling for a fight a moment ago?" the people below the stage murmured, perplexed.
"Shit, it can't be that these two also lost their nerve? The situation is too damn weird. Just a second ago they were ready for a life-or-death struggle, and now they're like meek lambs?" Many people began to murmur among themselves.
Ma Hua, who was originally excited on stage, was confused; He Chuan, kneeling on the ground, was puzzled; Yuan Shang, in the corner, had a mind full of question marks; and Ma Wenguang, revitalized, was completely baffled.
After a short moment of stun, the others finally noticed the anomaly and followed the gazes of the two men.
Yun Fei looked astonished, "He Feichen?"
Zhou Tianlu, also lying on the stage, recognized him and curiously muttered, "Young Master He?"
The rest of the people were all bewildered; He Feichen's reputation was not well-known, and there were really only a few among those present who knew him.
"Who is this guy?" many people wondered about this newly arrived young man, inquiring among those nearby only to discover that none recognized him.
Just then, He Chuan also turned his head to look at the newcomer, and he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
He knew that He Feichen had been handling affairs in Binzhou these past few days, and he had assumed Young Master He would send someone else to come over. He never expected that Young Master He would come in person.
As He Feichen approached amidst the incredulous stares of the crowd, Yuan Long and Ma Ji hurriedly bowed with respect, "Young Master He!"
"Hiss~"
This address of 'Young Master He' immediately shocked everyone present into a dazed silence.
Even Yun Fei and Zhou Tianlu were stunned. Was this guy's identity so powerful? Even these two showed him such deference with a bow?
And this guy seemed to be Ling Fan's little brother, right? With that thought, Yun Fei and Zhou Tianlu looked at Ling Fan with a bizarre expression on their faces.
He Chuan rose excitedly too, staggering towards He Feichen with his two broken arms.
"Young Master, you finally came. Please take up my cause. That bastard on the stage not only broke both my arms, but he also claimed that if no one from the He Family came today, he would leave my body behind and showed utter disregard for the He Family!" He Chuan pleaded to He Feichen with agitation.
In his heart, however, he was secretly thrilled, "You bastard, wait and see how you'll be kneeling and begging for mercy. I'll make sure you wish you were dead!"
Yuan Long and Ma Ji felt a silent pity for the young man on the stage. Offending them might still leave a glimmer of hope for survival since they weren't the strongest.
But offending He Feichen was essentially a death sentence. The He Family's current status in Zhongnan was no less prestigious than the top noble houses under the Heavenly Vein.
"So he is the mysterious Young Master He from the He Family. His background must be sky-reaching!" The audience below suddenly realized, as the real Great God had appeared.
Yuan Shang's face was filled with surprise and joy; he hadn't expected to have the fortune to meet He Feichen, Young Master He, today.
Leng Chuan took a long sigh in his heart, "Damn it, finally someone who can take this guy down has arrived."
Li Shishi and Shangguan Yue turned pale, their emotions extremely heavy. Even if they didn't recognize this young man, the indications from before were enough for them to guess the terror of his identity.
Wang Jing and Wang Anxiang showed signs of relief and calmness on their faces. The truly terrifying big player had appeared; this youngster now had no chance at life.
Ling Fan, seeing the scene before him, was astonished and could not help but smile bitterly to himself. He hadn't expected to encounter He Feichen here, and the guy he had broken both arms of was actually a member of the He Family. As his thoughts turned, he couldn't help but remember that girl, He Feiman.
In full view of the attentive crowd, under the respectful gazes of Yuan Long and Ma Ji, and amidst He Chuan's eager anticipation, He Feichen utterly disregarded Yuan Long and Ma Ji. He even pushed away the agitated He Chuan and strode directly up to Ling Fan.
"Boss, what are you doing here? I was just planning to go back to Zhongnan to find you today!" He Feichen stood before Ling Fan, his face full of respect.
"Hehe, I just got back today and found that several blind fools were bullying your sister-in-law and a few of my brothers!" Ling Fan said with a light smile.
Hearing this, He Feichen suddenly knelt down in panic, "Is it someone from my He Family who has offended sister-in-law? I haven't even had the chance to express my gratitude to the boss for saving my life, and this unforgivable incident has happened. I beg the boss to punish me!"
This scene on the stage, witnessed by everyone, was like the public slamming into Mount Bu Zhou, with the rolling thunder of the Nine Heavens shocking all, rendering them numb and their minds stalled.
Wang Jing, Wang Anxiang, and the others stood rooted to the spot, reduced to dazed statues!
'Thump,' He Chuan stumbled and fell to the ground, his soul nearly flying out in terror!
'Puh!' Ma Wenguang spat out a mouthful of blood, and was actually dead on the spot!
Yuan Long and Ma Ji's minds thundered, their knees nearly buckling, almost collapsing to the ground!
