Chapter 60: Moral Kidnapping, Go Away
Bai Chen’s words caused the atmosphere in the hall to fall silent.
The Nan family’s faces showed tension and shame, as if their secrets had been exposed.
But then, their expressions turned to anger and embarrassment!
“Come over here! You hurt my son! Pay us!”
Li Yujuan widened her eyes, glaring fiercely at Bai Chen, as if she was about to pounce on him at any moment.
If it weren’t for Nan Zhan Shan holding her back, her nails would have scratched Bai Chen’s face.
Meanwhile, Nan Xuan Fei looked at Bai Chen with fury.
“You are getting more and more outrageous!”
“You eat from the Nan family, live off the Nan family, and now you want to harm the people of the Nan family!”
“Are you planning to swap the prince for a cat and become the master of the Nan family next?”
Bai Chen sneered at her words.
“Don’t you realize what you, the Nan family, have done?”
“Nan Xuan Fei, I warn you, if you continue to act this way, be careful you don’t end up like your brother!”
With that, Bai Chen looked coldly at Nan Xuan Fei.
Her voice seemed to be choked, unable to say another word.
“How disrespectful! What are you doing, Bai Chen?”
Nan Zhan Fei stepped forward, unable to hold back his reprimand.
“That is Yue Ran’s sister, your sister-in-law! Is this how you speak?”
Bai Chen let out a cold smile and ignored Nan Zhan Fei.
“I warn you, you had better not set your sights on the Zijin Garden project! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Since I entered the Nan family, my patience with you has nearly reached its limit.”
“If you provoke me again, I won’t mind making the Nan family disappear from Lintai.”
Bai Chen’s voice wasn’t loud, nor was there much force behind it.
But that lightly spoken tone carried an undeniable firmness.
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, the Nan family members’ expressions changed.
One by one, they didn’t even dare to breathe.
A group of people had been completely overpowered by Bai Chen alone!
Nan Yue Ran stood behind Bai Chen, filled with a sense of security.
Just then, a murmur broke the silence.
The other Nan family members may have been scared by Bai Chen, but Nan Yulong was not!
No matter how you look at it, Nan Yue Ran is his biological sister; this bond cannot be influenced by outsiders.
“Sis, my dear sister! Even if you don’t think of them, you should at least think of me!”
“I am your own brother!”
Nan Yulong stepped forward to look at Nan Yue Ran.
“I still want to get married someday! I want to start a family!”
“Learning martial arts costs money too!”
“Just let me be involved in the Zijin Garden project! When I master martial arts, I can protect you!”
Hearing her brother’s words, Nan Yue Ran furrowed her brow slightly.
But Bai Chen showed no courtesy.
“Stop with the moral kidnapping!”
“If you want to get married and start a family, can’t you work for it yourself?”
“Don’t you have hands and feet? Are you begging here?”
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, Nan Yulong’s face turned beet red.
“What are you talking about?”
“What happens between me and my sister has nothing to do with you! Don’t lecture me!”
Bai Chen’s gaze turned icy.
“I think you need a good lesson! I got this project for your sister!”
“Your sister hasn’t educated you well, so now I have to take it upon myself to teach you!”
Seeing Bai Chen’s cold stare, Nan Yulong instinctively shrank back, avoiding his gaze.
Nan Zhan Fei and Xu Qing exchanged glances, knowing that this negotiation wouldn’t lead anywhere.
Nan Jiang Hong’s expression darkened even more.
Originally, if Bai Chen hadn’t come, they might have reached an agreement with Nan Yue Ran.
But Bai Chen arrived at the most critical moment, ruining their opportunity!
“Fine! If that’s the case, you have to compensate for the medical expenses of our Nan Lin’s injury!”
Li Yujuan glared at Bai Chen and spoke.
Bai Chen let out a cold laugh.
“Compensation? What nonsense!”
“Nan Lin gathered so many people at the Zijin Garden project to hinder my progress!”
“He even colluded with Nan Xuan Fei to raise the compensation payment for those stubborn holdouts and obstruct us!”
"You should compensate us for this!"
"Don’t think that Yue Ran is easy to bully on her own; she has the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce backing her! Do you want to receive a legal notice from the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce?"
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, the members of the Nan family all changed their expressions at once.
They couldn’t afford to provoke the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce!
As one of the four major chambers of commerce in Lintai, they were far more powerful than the Nan family!
The members of the Nan family looked at each other apprehensively.
They seemed to have a thousand words to say, but were at a loss for words.
Nan Jiang Hong sighed deeply, his body slumping noticeably.
"I understand. We will no longer interfere with the Zijin Garden project! This project belongs to Nan Yue Ran."
Upon hearing Nan Jiang Hong’s words, the Nan family members felt a heavy weight in their hearts.
Nan Jiang Hong’s words meant they were about to withdraw from the Zijin Garden project.
They had grievances but couldn’t voice them, especially Nan Xuan Fei.
At this moment, her eyes burned with fury as she looked at Bai Chen and Nan Yue Ran.
Even the other members of the Nan family felt the same anger.
Taking away their livelihood was like killing their parents.
Bai Chen’s actions had offended the entire Nan family.
They didn’t speak it out loud, but in their hearts, they were filled with hatred for Bai Chen.
"Deputy Envoy Liu Ming from Lintai is here!"
At that moment, a voice announced from outside the door.
Hearing this, Nan Jiang Hong’s expression changed, and he hurriedly stood up to welcome the visitor.
Soon, Liu Ming entered, respectfully greeted by Nan Jiang Hong.
The members of the Nan family also showed him great respect.
"Master Liu Ming! We didn’t know you were coming today; our apologies for not welcoming you properly!"
Nan Jiang Hong spoke humbly.
Liu Ming wore a proud expression.
"I visited your Nan family last time and instructed you to pay attention to someone called Mr. Chen. Have you taken note?"
Upon hearing Liu Ming’s words, Nan Jiang Hong felt embarrassed.
Nan Zhan Fei stepped forward, his voice deferential as he said,
"Master Liu, we have been keeping an eye out, but unfortunately, we have not found any clues!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ming nodded, as if he had already anticipated it.
"I know you won’t find any clues, but you should still be more vigilant in the future!"
"Let me know as soon as you have any news!"
"The rumors say that the Song family in the capital has already sent someone to search for Mr. Chen, and they have even offered a generous reward."
"Whoever finds Mr. Chen will become a distinguished guest of the Song family!"
Hearing Liu Ming’s words, the members of the Nan family gasped in shock.
Become a distinguished guest of the Song family?
How honored would that be!
The Nan family couldn’t even dare to think about it!
Liu Ming looked at the astonished faces of the Nan family and continued,
"Alright, I have another matter to discuss today."
"The magistrate’s old man is celebrating his birthday tomorrow, and I’m here to invite your Nan family to the banquet!"
The Nan family members were taken aback by this news.
Nan Jiang Hong quickly stepped forward, looking cautious.
"Master Liu, how old is Mr. Su turning this time?"
"Seventy years old! Your Nan family should prepare something special!"
Liu Ming said meaningfully.
"Of course!"
Nan Jiang Hong replied with a respectful smile.
"Alright, I won’t stay long; I have to go to the next place to deliver invitations!"
After Liu Ming said this, he turned and left.
Nan Jiang Hong took a deep breath as he looked at the invitation in his hand, straightening his previously hunched back.
"You all saw that!"
"This time, our Nan family must make a good impression!"
"The fact that the Su family can invite us shows our Nan family’s influence in Lintai is growing! This is a good thing!"
Nan Xuan Fei also broke into a long-lost smile.
Looking at Bai Chen beside her, Nan Xuan Fei felt as if she had found a chance to show off again.
"Bai Chen, did you see that! This is the strength of our Nan family!"
"No matter how much you do, and no matter how much the Xiao family values you, you are just one person!"
"What can one person achieve?"
Just as Nan Xuan Fei was mocking Bai Chen, a bright and cheerful voice rang out.
"Mr. Bai! You are indeed here!"
