Chapter 799 Keep the Show Going!
On the morning of the second day, Fang Yu and Zheng Ze prepared to go to the North Capital Martial Arts Association building.
Before heading to the building, Fang Yu once again used Xuanran Qi to further disguise both his and Zheng Ze’s appearances.
As a result, many scars appeared on the faces of Fang Yu and Zheng Ze, and their complexions became extremely unhealthy.
Fang Yu knew clearly that he needed to add more fuel to the fire.
“When acting, we must commit fully. Using this opportunity, we can even completely block the path of the Half-Spirit Clan, regardless of what they want to do,” Fang Yu thought.
After completing the disguise using Xuanran Qi, Fang Yu and Zheng Ze arrived at the association building.
As soon as they entered, they saw Pan Yushan with an anxious expression.
When Pan Yushan noticed the wounds on Fang Yu and Zheng Ze’s faces, he was stunned for a moment and asked, “Lord Fang… how did you sustain such serious injuries!?”
“Ah, it’s hard to explain in a few words,” Fang Yu sighed, shaking his head.
“…Due to yesterday’s incident, Chairman Wang has returned and is currently holding an emergency meeting… Lord Fang, if your body can endure it… please come with me quickly to attend the meeting,” Pan Yushan remembered the urgent matter and said anxiously.
That Chairman Wang has returned?
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, knowing that the current meeting must be related to yesterday’s incident at the Wei family.
“My body is fine, let’s go,” Fang Yu said.
So, Fang Yu and Zheng Ze followed behind Pan Yushan, walking up to the conference room on the top floor.
Pushing open the conference room door, they found the meeting table full of people.
Besides several vice-chairmen and their assistants, there were also executives responsible for various departments.
At the head of the conference table sat a middle-aged man with a scholarly appearance.
Fang Yu knew that this man was the chairman, Wang Wenshan.
When Pan Yushan’s group appeared, everyone in the conference room turned their gaze toward them.
Seeing the wounds on Fang Yu and Zheng Ze’s faces, everyone’s expressions changed.
Wang Wenshan frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over Fang Yu and Zheng Ze with scrutiny in his eyes.
“Chairman, this is Fang Chengtian, Vice-Chairman Fang. Beside him is his assistant, Mr. Zheng Ze. Both of them are disciples of Master Huaixu, personally appointed by Master Huaixu, and have just taken office three days ago,” Pan Yushan introduced from the side.
“Hmm… come and sit down first,” Wang Wenshan nodded slightly and said.
Pan Yushan sat in the position closest to Wang Wenshan’s left.
Fang Yu sat next to Pan Yushan, with Zheng Ze standing behind him.
After taking a seat at the conference table, Wang Wenshan looked at Fang Yu again and asked, “Vice-Chairman Fang, what happened to your injuries?”
“Yesterday, Zheng Ze and I went to the Wei family together to attend the celebration banquet… but on the way there, we were attacked by a group of men in black, and then lost consciousness. When we woke up, it was already early morning,” Fang Yu said, displaying a fearful expression of lingering fear on his face, his acting quite convincing.
Zheng Ze, standing behind him, knew he didn’t have such acting skills, so he just lowered his head and remained silent.
“Why were the two attendants who accompanied you yesterday unharmed?” an executive sitting across asked.
As he spoke, those two people were already being brought into the conference room.
Seeing so many high-level officials, the two were so nervous that sweat appeared on their foreheads, not knowing what had happened.
“We have already questioned these two, and that segment of their memory seems to be missing,” another person sitting across the conference table stood up and said.
“Vice-Chairman Fang, you were heading to the Wei family with these two attendants yesterday, correct?” Wang Wenshan asked.
“Yes,” Fang Yu glanced at the two and said.
“When you were attacked, did you notice what happened to these two?” Wang Wenshan asked again.
“No, the attackers were very strong. Zheng Ze and I didn’t last long before passing out,” Fang Yu answered.
“I see…” Wang Wenshan nodded slightly and waved his hand, indicating for the two attendants to leave.
“How is Master Huaixu’s health recently?” Wang Wenshan suddenly turned to look at Fang Yu and asked with a smile.
“The old master has always been in good health, thank you for your concern, Chairman Wang,” Fang Yu replied.
“Since you two have sustained such serious injuries, there’s no need for you to participate in the meeting. You should take some time to recover,” Wang Wenshan said.
“It’s fine. I heard about what happened at the Wei family this morning… I feel very heavy-hearted. They actually used my identity to kill people… I simply cannot accept this,” Fang Yu said with an angry expression. “I must find these killers and punish them severely!”
“Rest assured, Vice-Chairman Fang, I returned today to convene this meeting precisely to discuss how to handle this matter,” Wang Wenshan said.
“Good! We must not let them get away! These lawless beasts!” Fang Yu said angrily.
…
For the next period of time, the meeting proceeded normally.
The content of the meeting was to discuss how to find the Half-Spirit Clan and Dao Kong.
Many people put forward suggestions, and Fang Yu also offered a constructive suggestion, which was to issue a bounty and search throughout the entire region.
The feasibility of this suggestion wasn’t important; what mattered was that it demonstrated Fang Yu’s hatred for the Half-Spirit Clan at this moment.
After the meeting ended, Fang Yu was asked by Wang Wenshan to stay behind.
In the conference room, only Wang Wenshan and Fang Yu remained.
“Vice-Chairman Fang, there’s another meeting this afternoon, and I’d like you to accompany me,” Wang Wenshan said.
“What meeting?” Fang Yu asked.
“Due to yesterday’s incident at the Wei family, which is extremely serious in nature, the major families have decided to send representatives to hold a joint meeting. The theme of the meeting is similar to what we just discussed,” Wang Wenshan looked at Fang Yu and said, “Vice-Chairman Fang, if your physical condition allows…”
“Of course I’m fine,” Fang Yu immediately replied.
“That’s good. When it’s time in the afternoon, I’ll come to your office to find you,” Wang Wenshan smiled.
Fang Yu nodded and left the conference room.
Wang Wenshan sat alone at the head of the conference table, hands clasped together supporting his chin, watching Fang Yu leave with a slight frown.
Fang Yu returned to his office, sat in his chair, and was also thinking.
This Wang Wenshan… seemed to have some issues.
But where the problem lay, he couldn’t see clearly yet.
That’s why he agreed to accompany Wang Wenshan to attend the family meeting this afternoon.
He wanted to take this opportunity to observe Wang Wenshan carefully.
…
At three in the afternoon, Fang Yu followed Wang Wenshan alone to a restaurant located in the central district of North Capital, called the Dragon Phoenix Restaurant.
The meeting venue was on the third floor of the restaurant.
When the two arrived at the third floor, the oval-shaped long table in the lounge was already full of people.
These people emitted faint auras of cultivation, and each one’s level was not weak.
Besides their cultivation auras, the most prominent characteristic of this group was their strong presence and imposing manner.
At a glance, one could tell that these people were accustomed to high positions and privileged lives, undoubtedly people of authority.
These people were representatives sent by various martial arts families in North Capital. They might not all be family heads, but their positions within their families were definitely not low.
The arrival of Wang Wenshan and Fang Yu did not attract the attention of these bigwigs.
Because at this moment, they were all engaged in heated discussions.
“Old Hu, I think you’re just a coward! What’s there to fear about a mere Half-Spirit Clan? That Dao Kong, if he dares to appear again, I’ll surely cut off his head!”
“Stop boasting. The one who suffered this time was the Wei family, one of the eight major families! Haven’t you heard? Wei Zhen, who just made it onto the Heavenly Ranking, was killed with one strike by Dao Kong’s follower!”
“I really don’t believe they’re that strong. If they were, how come we’ve never heard of them before?”
The entire third floor was filled with clamor, with everyone expressing their own views.
Wang Wenshan led Fang Yu to sit in a corner of the long table.
Fang Yu looked at Wang Wenshan, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Obviously, Wang Wenshan’s presence here today represented the Wang family.
“Ahem…”
Seeing that everyone was still in heated discussion, Wang Wenshan coughed twice and said, “May I ask everyone to pause the discussion for a moment.”
Wang Wenshan used a bit of true qi, so although his voice wasn’t loud, it reached the ears of everyone present.
Soon, the entire floor quieted down.
The representatives of each family sitting around the long table all looked toward Wang Wenshan.
At any time, the representative of the Wang family was always the most influential person in the room.
