Chapter 969 Impossible to Resist
North Capital, Yulan Pavilion Club, top floor private room.
Ouyang Xiuyuan re-entered the private room, placed his phone on the table, took a deep breath, and his expression didn’t look good.
Across from him sat a man wearing a silver robe.
Ouyang Chengdao was sitting on the sofa to the side.
Seeing Ouyang Xiuyuan’s expression, Ouyang Chengdao’s heart sank.
He knew something bad must have happened.
Ouyang Xiuyuan frowned deeply, rubbed his chin, then glanced at the man sitting opposite him and said, “Mr. Ji, my son and I need to excuse ourselves for a moment. Please understand.”
After speaking, he stood up, gave Ouyang Chengdao a look, and walked out of the room.
Ouyang Chengdao quickly got up and followed him.
In the corridor outside, Ouyang Xiuyuan stood at the end of the balcony, looking at the night view.
“Dad, what happened?” Ouyang Chengdao approached and asked quietly.
“Something happened in Jiangnan,” Ouyang Xiuyuan said with a gloomy face.
“…The Huo family? What happened?” Ouyang Chengdao’s expression changed as he asked.
The Huo family was a new force supported in Jiangnan, essentially serving as the Ouyang family’s representative in the region.
With the Ouyang family’s help, the Huo family had established a firm foothold in Jiangnan in just two short months.
For the Ouyang family, the Huo family was a very important strategic point that absolutely could not have problems!
“That phone call was from Fang Yu,” Ouyang Xiuyuan turned to look at Ouyang Chengdao and asked, “What do you think happened?”
Ouyang Chengdao was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed dramatically!
The call was from Fang Yu, and the Huo family was in trouble…
There was only one possibility: the Huo family had offended Fang Yu!
“Why didn’t we discover that the Ji family in Jiangnan had connections with Fang Yu!?” Ouyang Xiuyuan stared at Ouyang Chengdao, questioning him sternly.
“We don’t have many foundations in Jiangnan… our intelligence gathering capabilities are relatively weak. We only discovered that the Tang family had connections with Fang Yu. I didn’t expect the Ji family also…” Ouyang Chengdao said with a pale face.
“Forget it. What’s done is done. Go to Jianghai City in Jiangnan immediately and handle the aftermath,” Ouyang Xiuyuan said with a sigh.
“…What’s the situation now?” Ouyang Chengdao asked.
“With Fang Yu involved, how do you think the situation is?” Ouyang Xiuyuan’s face was extremely gloomy as he said, “The condition of the Huo siblings isn’t important. What’s important is that Master He, whom we assigned to the Huo family… is gone.”
“Master He was killed…” Ouyang Chengdao’s eyes showed shock.
“Handle the aftermath properly. The Huo family cannot fall, but the Ji family and Tang family… tell them to stay out of our way from now on, absolutely don’t touch them! Also, personally visit the Ji family to apologize, and you must show complete sincerity,” Ouyang Xiuyuan said gravely.
“And what about Mr. Fang…” Ouyang Chengdao asked.
“I’ll handle his side. You don’t need to worry about it,” Ouyang Xiuyuan frowned.
“Then I’ll… head to Jianghai City now,” Ouyang Chengdao said, sweat forming on his forehead.
“Yes, go and handle things properly,” Ouyang Xiuyuan instructed.
Ouyang Chengdao hurriedly left, while Ouyang Xiuyuan returned to the private room alone.
The man in the silver robe was still sitting on the sofa.
Seeing Ouyang Xiuyuan return, he revealed a slight smile and asked, “Family Head Ouyang, are you facing difficulties?”
Ouyang Xiuyuan’s expression froze, not wanting to bring up matters related to Fang Yu, so he shook his head and said, “It’s nothing, just a small matter.”
“A small matter? Would a small matter involve Fang Yu?” the man smiled.
Hearing these words, Ouyang Xiuyuan’s expression changed.
Had this person heard everything he discussed with Ouyang Chengdao?
“Family Head Ouyang, I mean no offense, but my hearing is exceptionally keen… you didn’t go far enough, so I heard everything,” the man said.
Ouyang Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes at the man before him, the corner of his eye twitching slightly, and said, “Mr. Ji, let’s continue discussing our previous matter.”
“Of course,” Mr. Ji smiled and said, “But I must mention that once our cooperation begins, we will inevitably stand in opposition to Fang Yu.”
Ouyang Xiuyuan’s expression changed, his eyes flashing with intensity as he asked, “What do you mean by that?”
“I mean that if you’re so afraid of Fang Yu, we probably can’t cooperate,” Mr. Ji said calmly.
Ouyang Xiuyuan remained silent for a while, lit a cigar from the table, then looked at Mr. Ji and asked, “If it means definitely standing against Fang Yu, I won’t choose to cooperate with you.”
Hearing this, Mr. Ji sat up straight, frowning yet smiling as he asked, “Family Head Ouyang, why are you so afraid of this person?”
“His reputation in North Capital has grown so much recently, surely you’ve heard of his deeds?” Ouyang Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows and asked in return.
“Crushing the Wang family? Or wiping out the so-called Purple Flame Palace at the Hundred Sects Competition?” Mr. Ji leaned back against the sofa, shaking his head slightly, and said, “Undeniably, Fang Yu is indeed powerful. But that alone isn’t enough reason for us to avoid him.”
“…You don’t understand him enough,” Ouyang Xiuyuan took a deep drag of his cigar and said gravely.
“Does Family Head Ouyang understand him well? Why not provide us with more information about this person?” Mr. Ji asked, his eyes gleaming.
Ouyang Xiuyuan looked up at Mr. Ji, remained silent for several seconds, then shook his head and said, “There’s nothing to say. I can only tell you that his true strength is much greater than you imagine.”
“It seems Family Head Ouyang is very wary of this Fang Yu, even willing to unconditionally give up visible benefits,” Mr. Ji said.
Ouyang Xiuyuan didn’t respond.
Mr. Ji stood up, walked in front of Ouyang Xiuyuan, and looking down at him said, “Family Head Ouyang, are you really content to continue like this? Don’t you want to resist? If you always fear Fang Yu, you’ll never be able to make the Ouyang family the number one family in Huaxia, do you understand?”
Ouyang Xiuyuan took another heavy drag of his cigar, raised his head to look directly at Mr. Ji, and said, “If you truly have the capital to oppose Fang Yu, then demonstrate it. Otherwise, I won’t trust you, much less agree to cooperate with you.”
“Fair enough,” Mr. Ji nodded and turned to walk toward the door, saying, “Then wait and see. We’ll soon show our sincerity.”
With that, Mr. Ji left the room.
As the door closed again, Ouyang Xiuyuan sat on the sofa, his face dark and his eyes complex.
…
Jianghai City, Ji family.
Fang Yu returned to the Ji family mansion.
Ji Dongshan’s wounds had been treated, and Ji Rumei sat beside him, her face containing traces of anger.
She had only just learned what the Huo siblings had done to her father.
However, seeing Fang Yu, she thought of the fate of those siblings, and her heart felt somewhat comforted.
“Master Fang, regarding the Huo family matter, we’re willing to take responsibility…” Ji Dongshan immediately said upon seeing Fang Yu.
“Take responsibility? What is there to take responsibility for?” Fang Yu asked in return.
Ji Dongshan’s expression froze.
With Fang Yu having beaten the Huo siblings so badly, how could the Huo family possibly remain indifferent?
“Tomorrow someone will probably come to apologize to you. Whatever compensation they offer, just accept it all. Don’t refuse,” Fang Yu said.
Hearing these words, Ji Dongshan and Ji Rumei looked at each other in confusion.
Fang Yu had severely beaten the Huo siblings and killed Master He…
How could someone come to apologize to the Ji family instead?
“Don’t worry about all this. Go to bed early. Tonight’s events are over,” Fang Yu said as he turned to leave. “I have to go now. See you again when I have time.”
Ji Rumei came to her senses, immediately grabbed a bag beside her, and hurried after him.
After they left, Ji Xiaoquan looked at Ji Dongshan and curiously asked, “Uncle, what exactly is the relationship between my sister and this Fang Yu?”
Hearing this question, Ji Dongshan’s expression subtly changed.
Seeing Ji Xiaoquan’s expression, he understood what she meant.
Of course he hoped that Ji Rumei and Fang Yu could have a relationship.
But unfortunately, how could someone of Fang Yu’s caliber possibly be interested in a girl from an ordinary merchant family like theirs?
The gap was simply too great; he didn’t dare even think about it.
Ji Dongshan remained silent for several seconds, sighed, and answered, “Master Fang… is our Ji family’s life-saving benefactor.”
