Chapter 226 The Uninvited Guest

Chapter 226. The Uninvited Guest

When the Arhat Meeting was about to start, in Nanling City, a black extended Matway parked on the side of the road, isolating an artificial lake not far from here from the street.

Walking out of the car was a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a gentle face and gold-rimmed glasses, which did not match the occasional fierceness in his eyes.

The middle-aged man's name is Du Yu, the eldest son of Du Feixuan, the old chairman of Jingyuan Group, and Du Hui's brother.

Unlike his younger brother, he did not choose to stay with his father to inherit the family business, but worked hard outside alone.

Over the years, he has become a well-known business figure in the capital, but few people know about his relationship with the Jingyuan Group in the three southeastern provinces. If Du Feixuan had not received strict orders this time, he would not have hurried back.

After getting out of the car, he didn't take a few steps, and he saw Du Feixuan sitting in a wheelchair by the lake. Du Yu slowly approached and stood behind his father, but didn't say anything, looking quite worried.

After a while, Du Feixuan was the first to speak: "Have you gone to see your brother?"

"Yes, I have seen it. I also asked an orthopedic expert from the capital to take a look at his wrist."

"How about it?"

"The injury is too serious, the best way is to ampute the leg." Du Yu said expressionlessly.

When Du Feixuan heard this, her pupils shrank slightly. Even though she had already expected this result, she couldn't help but tremble all over, and the hatred in her heart increased a little.

After a while, I gradually calmed down: "What about the matter I arranged for you to investigate?"

"Already starting to investigate. According to your request, people from the three provinces and the capital have all called, but..."

"But what?"

"I'm afraid there may not be any results."

"What?" Du Feixuan turned her head abruptly, looking at her eldest son, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, with both shock and anger in her tone.

But for some reason, the fear and obedience under strict discipline in the past have disappeared, replaced by a kind of calmness that is used to seeing big scenes, he can't help frowning, and his tone softens a little:
"Why do you say that? What's the reason?"

"I have sent people to check that courtyard house many times. The original owner is unknown, and no information can be found in the housing and construction departments, and there is no transaction record on the market."

"Even the people who come and go can't find any clues. I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as we thought."

What Du Yu was referring to was, of course, the fact that Du Feixuan called ancient martial arts masters from the three provinces to assassinate Ren Ping, but there was no news of it.

This matter is full of doubts, and it has been stuck in Du Feixuan's heart for a long time, especially in that courtyard that night, who lived in it, and what kind of power could make dozens of top experts disappear overnight?

I thought Du Yu could get some news after he came back, but he still found nothing.

"Of course I know it's not that simple, but isn't it even more strange? According to you, that kid is obviously a native of Nanling with no background at all. How could he escape the pursuit of ancient martial arts masters? There must be something behind him. Another expert!"

"That's right, I thought so too, so I have something to persuade my father." There was a strange color in Du Yu's eyes.

"What?"

"For the sake of caution, don't do anything to him until you find out what power is behind this person."

Du Yu's meaning is not difficult to understand. An ordinary courtyard house, despite their repeated efforts to investigate, is still unknown. This is a symbol in itself.

It symbolizes that the background of the owner is by no means simple, at least not weaker than the Jingyuan Group, and it was their handwriting that saved Ren Ping from dozens of ancient martial arts masters before.

Du Feixuan had naturally thought of this meaning before, and knew that if she attacked Ren Ping rashly, she would very likely get into a lot of trouble, but what Ren Ping hurt was his most beloved son. What kind of hatred was this?
And the eldest son Du Yu in front of him, knowing that his younger brother was injured, did not care about it and looked very rational. How could this not make him feel chilled?
There was an undisguised look of disappointment in her eyes, Du Feixuan turned her head and waved her hands: "Forget it, you go back."

"Father, you..."

"You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own way."

Du Yu frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart, but it was inconvenient for him to say anything more:
"Father, be careful. I will try my best to investigate that courtyard again. If there is any news, I will notify you immediately."

After speaking, he turned and left.

After Du Yu left, Du Feixuan's face remained disappointed, but then it turned into a deep hatred for Ren Ping. He did not leave the matter of revenge for Du Hui to others. On the contrary, he kept busy In progress.

After a long time, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Hmph, no matter who is behind you, even if I can't kill you, I will ruin your reputation, life would be better than death!"

……

At the same time, on a forest path in the west of Nanling City, more than a dozen off-road vehicles were also parked by the side of the road.

This place is very close to the villa where the Arhat Meeting was held, but it was not the members of the Nine Families who got out of the car, but a group of very strange faces.

The first three were two middle-aged men, all in their forties or fifties.

Another old man in a white Tang suit is about 80 to [-] years old, but even at such an advanced age, he is not slack, but energetic and imposing.

In addition, there were more than a dozen younger young men and women who looked eager to try after getting off the car, but they didn't dare to be rash because they were afraid of being in front of the elders.

"Grandpa, all uncles, the place where the Nanling branch holds the Arhat meeting is just ahead."

After a while, one of the young men pointed to a villa several hundred meters away.

The old man in Tang suit didn't answer the words, but turned his head to look at the two middle-aged men beside him: "Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Fan, can you two take charge of the overall situation?"

When they heard this, they both laughed and shook their heads: "What did Mr. Cui say? With you here, how can we, the two juniors, take over for us? I ask you to give orders for everything today!"

"Okay! Then the old man will not be polite,"

The old man in Tang suit no longer refused, nodded to the two, and then looked around at the people around him, listening to the instruction with awe:
"Everyone, today's trip is not only a matter of entrustment and loyalty, but more importantly, it is related to the future interests, honor and disgrace of our three families,"

"The so-called prosperity and loss, even if it is for the sake of old age, please do your best and unite to the outside world, how about it?"

"Yes!" As soon as the words fell, everyone responded like thunder, with both excitement and contempt in their eyes, as if they were a group of soldiers who had already won the victory and were about to celebrate.

The old man in Tang suit nodded, and then turned to the young man who spoke just now:
"Have you found out everything? Is it Mr. Lu Ziliang who came from the capital headquarters?"

"That's right. Mr. Lu and my three families have always been friends. With him around, our chances of winning will increase."

"What about those people on the other side?"

"It's nothing to worry about. I heard that the most powerful one is the young master Rong Luxing who is ranked number one. His name is Rong Yi. Although he is talented, he is obsessed with fraud. He is a complete rebellious son."

Speaking of this, everyone burst into laughter, thinking that the dignified young master of Rongluxing is obsessed with fraud, so it can be seen that God is helping me.

Just listen to the young man continue:
"The rest of the people are not worth mentioning. That is the Ren Ping whom I met before. He is quite famous in recent times. He solved our problem before, which is considered good. However, there are several senior brothers and sisters here, and it is not the same. will lose to him,"

"Right now, I just want to ask Grandpa and all the masters for instructions. We came here uninvited. Should we explain the truth first? Or come directly to the door?"

Everyone also had this thought in their hearts, and they all looked at the old man in Tang suit.

He only heard him snort coldly: "Since you came here uninvited, why are you talking about politeness? Let's go, let's treat it as an uninvited guest!"
