Chapter 455 - 14: The Power of Aristocratic Families (Part 2)
"My daughter is on a business trip, my granddaughter went on a trip and they are not at home, just leave early. Barking crazily like a mad dog early in the morning is really annoying," Grandma Zeng, afraid that the neighbors would see, put away her sword.
"How can that be? Clearly..." Triangle Eyes rushed to speak, as he had been watching outside the villa all night and had not seen anyone leave.
In the curved fingers of Xu Changfu, a golden poisonous gas was forming, and this old woman dared to point a sword at him in front of everyone.
With the screeching sound of tire friction, Xu Changfu noticed something amiss behind him and quickly dodged. A red domestic sedan slammed into Xu Changfu’s RV parked beside.
"Sorry about this, my driving has been a bit off lately. I was wondering who parked their car in front of someone else’s house early in the morning, turns out it’s you," Mei Nian slowly got out of the car which she had bought from a scrap station for five thousand.
Grandma Zeng glared at Xu Changfu again and picked up her precious sword to go for morning practice.
"Mr. Xu, she must still be inside, let’s break in," Triangle Eyes was unwilling and wanted to barge into Zeng’s villa.
"Just break in, break in till death. You people really disgrace cultivators. Sitting outside someone’s house without checking if there’s a back door, and enterring without confirming whether there’s an automatic alarm system inside." Triangle Eyes and his group were not ordinary hooligans, but somewhat Cultivation Disciples from the Xu Family. However, they were good for nothing, only slightly stronger physically and in senses than ordinary people.
Early morning around four or five, Zeng Xuerou had her mother drive out through the small gate at the back of the garden. Mother and daughter, along with Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi, went to Chengde. Now, they were already on the bus and would arrive in Chengde in half an hour. Before leaving, Zeng Xuerou specifically told Mei Nian about someone watching at the front of their villa, and Mei Nian calmly hurried over.
Not until Xu Changfu was about to attack Grandma Zeng did she drive the car into him.
Watching the dented Mercedes behind him, Xu Changfu’s face twitched, forcibly pulling a smile, "So it’s Aunt Mei, I just arrived in Beijing last night and haven’t had time to visit you."
"No need for those slick words, your precious son has already visited me. I lectured him well and told him to pass a message to you, ’tell your dad, when you’re old, it’s better to move less. It’s okay if you injure your muscles, but if you lose your life, it would be a regret to the ancestors of the Xu family,’" Mei Nian spoke with a smiling face, looking like a kindly elder greeting a younger, but to Xu Changfu, her words nearly made him internally bleed with anger.
"So, you were involved the other night too?" Xu Changfu asked Huang Tengchong, hearing that Mei Nian was also there.
"Your useless son is not even worth my effort. Since he disappeared, I’ll clarify the situation for you," Mei Nian, with eyes full of grace, narrated the events like telling a story, including the incident of Xu Lan Ya poisoning.
"You think just based on the word of a student named Zhu Xiaoxian, I would believe my granddaughter would hurt her own brother. Let me tell you, Mei Nian, I have never forgotten the humiliation from Mei Xiang, and now Beijing is not controlled solely by you," after hearing this, Xu Changfu was also doubtful, but the information came too late. He had already chosen Lan Ya as the key contestant for the Xu Family in the Cangqiong Palace selection, the Xu Family cannot afford to lose.
"Believe it or not, I just need to tell you, don’t try to harm Zhu Xiaoxian and her family and friends, she is our Mei Family’s candidate for the Cangqiong Palace election. If she gets hurt, I will leverage the power of the Mei Family through generations to uproot your Xu Family," after saying that, Mei Nian placed her hand on the smashed Mercedes.
With a "bang," the tires beneath the car suddenly burst, the Mercedes sank down a bit, then she walked away.
With a grim face, Triangle Eyes timidly said: "Mr. Xu, what should we do next? If she is a candidate under the protection of Cangqiong Palace, acting rashly could be dangerous?"
"Immediately find out the whereabouts of those two female students, leaving Beijing would be better. Mei Nian, Beijing may be your turf, but I don’t believe all of China is," Mei Nian’s words did carry deterrent force to Xu Changfu. Regarding the Cultivation lineage, the Mei Family had declined, but just now Mei Nian had clearly stated, putting forth a century’s worth of power to root out.
With a lot of descendants in the Mei Family who had left the cultivation circle and infiltrated various industries, if Mei Nian was truly provoked, she could do anything.
Moreover, from how Mei Nian burst the car tires earlier, it seemed that during the years Mei Xiang disappeared, Mei Nian had changed. Her Spiritual Power seemed to have transformed.
"Mr. Xu, we’ve checked, the bus station has records, those female students went to Chengde. Chengde is not far from Beijing, maybe we should also go to Chengde, track them down in less populated areas," before he could finish, Xu Changfu slapped him.
"Idiot. Chengde, why did they go to Chengde? Humph, no need to say, it must be Mei Nian’s idea, an old woman who refuses to die. China is so big, they could have gone anywhere else, yet they chose Chengde. That place is worse than Beijing, forget it, once the meeting is over, I must return to Guangdong immediately. Now that Xu Song knows about Lan Ya, the peace in Guangdong is probably gone," Xu Changfu was furious, leaving behind the wrecked Mercedes and the useless Xu Family members, he strode away.
