Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Ming Xizhi’s Advice
"Li Rufeng, what should we do now?" a young man with an immature complexion asked Li Rufeng.
Li Rufeng turned around and looked at the young man speaking, and said indifferently, "What do you think we should do now, Young Master Xu?"
"The other party’s methods are somewhat fierce, I have no idea," Young Master Xu shook his head and said.
Qin Han’s response was somewhat intense, and thunderous, which they found a bit hard to accept at the moment, so they dared not make any rash moves.
For these scions of always prosperous families, once they encounter difficulties and obstacles, they subconsciously become cautious to prevent further deterioration of the situation.
"Right, Young Master Xu, isn’t there a branch of your Xu family in Zhongzhou?" Li Rufeng suddenly spoke up.
Young Master Xu nodded and responded, "Yes, but they were expelled from the capital years ago for making a mistake and haven’t returned since."
"I want to find a local to learn more about this Qin Han. I wonder if you go to the Xu family, will they give you this face?" Li Rufeng’s gaze was piercing as he spoke.
"I’ll give it a try, but don’t hold too much hope," Young Master Xu nodded and said.
"Much appreciated!"
"Not at all!"
Just at that moment, a knock on the door sounded, and a man with long black hair stood up to open the door. A bodyguard appeared at the doorway, bowing and saying, "Young Master Li, a person surnamed Ming has come to visit downstairs."
"Hmm, I got it," Li Rufeng waved his hand, signaling that the bodyguard could leave.
Then he turned to the others and said, "Let’s go, let’s meet the second-generation leader of the Ming family, Governor Ming. After all, this is his territory."
Being able to directly find this place and know that he, Li Rufeng, was in this room could only have been Ming Xizhi and no one else.
However, he seemed to have forgotten someone—the person who had quietly taken Zhao Yulou away.
The few present adjusted their clothes and followed Li Rufeng out. When they reached downstairs, they saw a figure standing with his back to them.
All of them were startled by this silhouette, wondering if the family had gotten wind of the matter.
Otherwise, why would a second-generation figure come here?
"Uncle Ming!" Li Rufeng stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.
Although the eight major families had some grievances behind them and belonged to different camps, they were generally harmonious on the surface, and the younger generation was expected to show the proper respect to their elders.
Otherwise, it might seem as if they lacked proper upbringing, which could tarnish the family’s reputation.
This is the real difference between the second generation of major families and those from smaller places; one values the family above all, the other values themselves.
"Li family lad, Xu family lad, Liu family lad, you’re all here, only Zhao Yulou from the Zhao family is missing," Ming Xizhi greeted the group of young men.
Upon hearing this, Li Rufeng’s eyes brightened, and he immediately said, "Uncle Ming, do you know where Yulou is?"
"I know, but I won’t tell you," Ming Xizhi said indifferently.
"I’m here to give you a piece of advice. Considering the face of your fathers, I won’t hold this against you. But around here, you lads still can’t make much of a splash. It’s still not too late to go back. As for that lad Zhao Yulou, let the elders of the Zhao family come talk to me," Ming Xizhi said solemnly to the group, his expression serious.
The few people heard this, annoyance visible in their eyes, but Li Rufeng just smiled.
"It looks like it’s not just us interested in this ’Hemostatic Powder.’ Uncle Ming, did you also come to give us advice because you’re interested in it? Oh, I forgot, isn’t one of those people from Aunt Ming’s family?"
After hearing this, Ming Xizhi sneered, "Li family lad, you’re pretty good, quite outstanding in this circle, but don’t try to squeeze me with words; that tactic doesn’t work on me."
"I came over because you have extended your reach too far."
"It has been said clearly, now will you leave or not? Decide for yourselves!"
"Moreover, considering the friendship between your parents and me, I can give you a hint. My attitude toward this matter is not important. If you fuss about it here, I could simply tell your family to take the person back."
Having said this, Ming Xizhi fell silent and just looked quietly at Li Rufeng.
Upon hearing this, Li Rufeng smiled and said, "Uncle Ming, please finish what you were saying."
Ming Xizhi’s eyes revealed a look of admiration, and he nodded and said, "Leave Zhongzhou within three days; otherwise, if that person really takes the matter seriously, I fear all of you might die here."
After speaking, Ming Xizhi turned and walked away without any hesitation. freewёbnoνel.com
Li Rufeng watched Ming Xizhi’s retreating figure and frowned. Were Ming Xizhi’s words a mere scare or genuine advice?
Was he doing this for their peace or really carrying a message from someone else?
The Ming family and the Li family did not have a deep relationship. Li Rufeng didn’t know Ming Xizhi well, and with such a casual relationship, would Ming Xizhi genuinely offer a warning?
Or was he deliberately provoking them?
"Young Master Li, what should we do? Should we go back as he said?" Liu asked softly.
Li Rufeng shook his head and said, "To go back like this would make us look too disgraced. Once we return to the capital, we would be ridiculed by those people, and since Zhao Yulou has not been found, it would be hard to explain to the Zhao family."
"Even if we don’t leave, could Ming Xizhi really have our families take us back? Ridiculous! We will stay right here, and I really want to see if anyone dares to touch me!"
Xu, upon hearing this, frowned. He wanted to go back, but seeing Li Rufeng speak this way, he could only give up the idea. After all, he still had to be part of this circle in the future, and leaving them here would be unjustifiable, both morally and logically.
Moreover, what if Ming Xizhi was paving the way for himself?
In the face of interests, do not easily expect others to consider your side.
Moreover, this was no longer just a matter of interest. If they could get their hands on the "Hemostasis Powder," it would become a political asset, and their future career paths would be smooth and unobstructed.
"Let’s wait then!" he finally spoke, feeling somewhat reluctant to return at this moment.
Right after Ming Xizhi had left, people in another hotel were already informed of the news.
"Ming Xizhi went there?" a gentle but gloomy-eyed man said with a smile.
"He just left; he probably went to warn Li Rufeng and the others."
"However, there’s something strange. Zhao Yulou was taken away, and up until now, no one has been able to find out any information. Could she be with Ming Xizhi?" another flamboyantly dressed man in a purple suit said.
"Not necessarily. If she were with Ming Xizhi, he could have just brought her over and made them go back," the gloomy-eyed man said, frowning.
"Could there be another group of people in Zhongzhou? Who could it be?"
This was a common problem among the scions of great families; they always assumed that anyone capable of standing up to them must be from within their circle.
Little did they know that in this world, there are many people they are unaware of, who could crush them easily.
"People from the Martial Artist families? The people they brought last night, and even our own, none remained, having been taken out by a peak Martial Artist," the man in the purple suit said.
"I’ve looked into the Martial Artist families in Zhongzhou, and none has reached the peak of Martial Arts," the first man said.
As they speculated wildly here, they did not realize they were both planting seeds of disaster due to their preconceived ideas, leading to a blow they would never forget in their lifetimes!
