Chapter 895 - 936 He Family’s General
The two men who came to the villa were from the Zheng family, whose power as a prominent Capital City clan far exceeded that of the smaller provincial clan of Ye Yunzhu’s family. Though based in the Capital City, these large families often had their real foundations spread across the entire country. Their presence in the capital merely facilitated easier management of family affairs, much like how large companies establish their headquarters there.
The Zheng family was significantly more powerful than the Ye family, not only in economic strength and influence but also in their roster of talented individuals, especially when it came to martial arts experts, who were a recruitment priority and of paramount importance.
Other talents they recruited mostly served the purpose of making money for the family, but it was only the martial artists who could protect the vital interests and key persons of the family. Without such protection, all the money and power in the world would be useless if key figures were easily killed or compromised.
These two men were renowned experts from the He family, typically out of public view, only deployed to manage disputes involving family members when necessary. Even as top fighters, they were treated with great respect and didn’t intervene without a substantial reason.
This time, He Zhenyang had summoned them to punish someone, which was something they were initially reluctant to do. However, with the abduction of He Zhenyang’s fiancée threatening the family’s reputation and hearing of the adversary’s prowess, the He family had dispatched them with clear instructions to chase off the rival and prevent further contact with Xiao Ling’er. In today’s digital age, large families like theirs handled matters discreetly, avoiding outright murder unless absolutely certain it couldn’t be traced back.
No matter how powerful, these clans still operated within the confines of the state and strove to avoid giving critics any leverage. They always sought to act lawfully and logically.
It was commonly the younger generation, like He Zhenyang and Chen Fangzhou, who caused troubles. Their families hoped their marriage would stabilize them and lock in considerable mutual benefits.
As for Xiao Ling’er’s past relationships, they were irrelevant; what mattered was her marrying He Zhenyang from now on.
