Chapter 1114 1074: Chen Fei's Thoughts

Early the next morning, newspapers across the Capital City and the Internet reported that some members of the Palace Family of Capital City were under investigation, with many crossing the red line, and even committing acts deplorable to both men and gods. Conversely, all involved individuals were taken away.

Once this news broke, apart from a few insiders, everyone else who knew the status and position of the Palace Family in the Capital City felt an overwhelming sense of unease.

Who could possibly be important enough to take down such a colossal entity like the Palace Family of Capital City? It's simply remarkable, simply terrifying...

But little did they know, in actuality, they only guessed half correctly and half incorrectly.

Both Gong Zhengchun and Gong Wanhe were indeed sent to the military prison by Chen Fei! As for the remaining disturbances, they were essentially the result of "when the wall falls, everyone pushes," enacted by the Palace Family's adversaries or those displeased with them.

After all, this incident escalated so much that, no matter how mighty the National Security Team is, arresting the lifesaver who could've saved Old Master Xu was simply unjustifiable!

Moreover, to put it bluntly, this incident was nothing short of an abuse of power and unauthorized punishment...

The higher leadership couldn't avoid being disturbed; how could they not be furious?

The National Security Team is the country's sharp blade, not a tool for the Palace Family of Capital City alone!

So, covertly, this matter had already blown up very seriously under the pretext of "seizing this opportunity." Some top leaders even personally stated the need to rectify the National Security Team. Coming down to it, who suffered the most?

Undoubtedly, it would be the Palace Family of Capital City!

Hence, in the grand mansion of the Palace Family of Capital City, within a study room enveloped in heavy atmosphere,

a dozen or so important members of the Palace Family had gathered!

At this moment, their expressions were somewhat grim.

"Big Brother, do you mean our Palace Family should just let this thing go? This entire clean-up has truly cost our Palace Family heavily! Many key department members have been demoted or transferred!"

An old man resembling Gong Wanhe said with a gloomy face. He is Gong Wanhe's father, Gong Chuan.

This time, not only was his son arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment, but he himself also bore collateral responsibility and was demoted—how could he not be angry?

"Do you still have the face to speak? If it weren't for your foolish son, would our Palace Family have suffered such a blow?" the head of the Palace Family, Gong Bieli, shouted with a livid face.

"I, I, Big Brother, you can't blame it all on Wanhe! I admit, it was indeed his lack of thorough consideration that caused the trouble, but the question is, who would've expected that kid to have so many backers?" Gong Chuan murmured.

"Do you really think that kid relied on backers to get your foolish son and Zhengchun in? Use your brain and think it through!" Gong Bieli couldn't help but scold.

These people really lack intelligence.

Hearing this, the faces in the study room changed slightly.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem... Big Brother, what do you mean by that? Ahem..."

A frail bald old man coughed lightly and asked.

He is Gong Bieli's third brother and also Gong Zhengchun's father! Now that something happened to his son, he couldn't not come.

"What do I mean? Geyuan, give it to me!" Gong Bieli said darkly, extending his hand. Next to him, Gong Geyuan immediately handed over a stack of documents.

Bang!

Gong Bieli threw the stack of documents onto the desk, coldly saying, "See for yourselves."

"Hmm?" The people in the study looked puzzled, frowning slightly, as they reached out to take the documents and read.

Before long, their expressions changed simultaneously.

"Wh-what? The Tiger Leopard Hall, once a force to be reckoned with, was destroyed by him?"

"Three years ago, the incident with the Celestial Group, it was also his doing?"

"No way, had he already saved Old Master Xuu back then!?"

"Hiss! He went to that place and came back again!?"

...

Each of their faces showed shock. Only after seeing the specifics on these documents did they truly realize how terrifying this young man, this Chen Fei, was!?

Compared to him, their Gong Wanhe and Gong Zhengchun were just trash! Completely on a different level.

"Now do you know why the higher-ups were so swift in deciding to move against our Palace Family?"

Gong Bieli said solemnly. To be honest, he also jumped in shock upon first seeing this information.

So it wasn't in vain that their Palace Family fell into the hands of someone so capable.

"But, but Big Brother, no matter what, that kid got Wanhe and Zhengchun into prison and caused such a considerable loss to our Palace Family—are we just going to let it go? If our Palace Family simply submits like this, what would people outside think of us?"

Though acknowledging Chen Fei's brilliance, Gong Chuan was still unwilling to accept it, and said.

"Then you tell me, what should we do?" Gong Bieli sneered at him coldly.

Gong Chuan's expression slightly changed, and he said, "Why don't we ask Lord Luo to handle that kid? He's received so many benefits from our Palace Family in the past two years; it shouldn't be a problem for him to exert a little effort, right?"

"Shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Gong Bieli's expression changed drastically. He said, "Gong Chuan, do you know what kind of person Lord Luo is? Compared to Lord Luo, our Gong Family is just a puppet, a powerless ant! You want him to take action, but do you know the enormous price we have to pay to possibly get him to do so... just for your stupid son!?"

Gong Bieli became increasingly angry as he spoke. He slammed the table and stood up, saying, "Gong Chuan, I'm telling you, don't even think about it! Moreover, those above are already somewhat dissatisfied with our Gong Family, so we must keep a low profile for a while. Let this matter go!"

Gong Chuan was berated until he was speechless, hanging his head and saying nothing.

The old, emaciated bald man wanted to speak but stopped. In the end, he shook his head and remained silent.

Not to mention the relationship between our Gong Family and Lord Luo, one is above, and the other is below. Our Gong Family is the latter...

Speaking of Lord Luo, what kind of person is he? He is utterly a greedy vampire and incredibly dangerous, killing without hesitation.

For him to make a move, half of our Gong Family's assets must be emptied!

For his son Gong Zhengchun and Gong Wanhe, just to vent this anger, it's indeed not worth it.

"Alright, meeting adjourned!"

With pent-up anger, Gong Bieli left the study.

Gong Chuan and the others also left the study.

However, after leaving the villa where the study was located, Gong Chuan walked alone towards the secluded path, with a grim face, hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed.

"Hello, are you Lord Protector Ma? I'm Xiaochuan, from half a year ago at Demon Cloud Mountain... Well, it's like this, I have a presumptuous request..."

Half a year ago, Lord Protector Ma by Lord Luo's side owed him a favor, and now Gong Chuan wanted to call in that favor.

...

That noon, Chen Fei arrived smilingly at the Xuu Family's courtyard.

With him was Wang Dashan from the Flying Leopard.

"You brat, you finally managed to come see me. How is it? Cozy being detained by the National Security Team for two days, right?" Old Master Xuu raised the coarse tea before him indifferently, saying.

This time, it clearly wasn't necessary to cause such a commotion, but Chen Fei did so on purpose... To put it nicely, it's called fooling around. To put it harshly, it's looking for trouble.

"So-so." Chen Fei grinned.

"Speak frankly, what's your real intention for all this hullabaloo this time? Are you trying to test the waters of the Giant Spirit Secret Realm through the Gong Family?" Old Master Xu glanced at him, his profound eyes sparkling.

If that were the case, this brat would really be unsettling.

Even for him, with his status, the 'monsters' within the Giant Spirit Secret Realm were extremely troublesome and daunting.

"Well, nothing can be hidden from you, old master..." Chen Fei laughed awkwardly and said, "Didn't I hear you all say those people in the Giant Spirit Secret Realm are quite formidable? My hands were getting a bit itchy."

"You indeed have such a thought?" Old Master Xuu's expression changed slightly, and he solemnly said, "I'm telling you seriously, those people from the Giant Spirit Secret Realm aren't joking... The Tiger Leopard Hall you annihilated back then is child's play compared to them, you know?"

"Chief Instructor, those people indeed aren't to be messed with," Wang Dashan standing aside couldn't help but interject.

"Oh?" Chen Fei glanced at Wang Dashan and asked, "Instructor Wang, have you had contact with them?"

"Since the Giant Spirit Secret Realm emerged, the Lingnan Mountains have been directly occupied by them. Our Flying Leopard's base was destroyed, and we were driven out." Wang Dashan smiled bitterly.

Although he now had the skill of a Perfect Late Stage Ancient Martial Artist, which was considered quite powerful, compared to those dangerous figures from the Giant Spirit Secret Realm, he was still insignificant, lacking not only one level...

"Really?" Chen Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze becoming somewhat cold. The audacity to act wildly on his turf indeed showed these people had some nerve.

"I think this matter requires careful planning. Old Xun says most of them can be compared to Grandmaster Innate Ancient Martial Artists! You should know how challenging those at that level are to deal with, right?"

Seeing Chen Fei's gaze, Old Master Xuu knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but attempt to dissuade him with a bitter smile.

Apparently, in his view, even if Chen Fei had 'studied' at that place for three years, it was impossible for him to become stronger than a Grandmaster Innate Ancient Martial Artist, right?

That level of figure, throughout Huaxia, how many are there?

"Don't worry, Old Master Xuu, I know what I'm doing."

Seeing Old Master Xu's attempts to dissuade him, Chen Fei didn't explain, just smiled.

Grandmaster Innate Ancient Martial Artist?

If it were three years ago, that level would indeed be formidable and strong to him! But now, it's no longer three years ago...

"Dad, Mr. Chen, Instructor Wang, the meal is ready, let's eat." At this moment, Xuu Peiyi's voice called out.

"Okay, Aunt Peiyi. Old Master, let's go eat." Chen Fei stood up with a smile.

Seeing Chen Fei evading his attempts to dissuade him, Old Master Xuu shook his head helplessly, rolling his eyes, and said, "Forget it, this old man can't dissuade you from what you want to do... But if you can really deal with them, it'll certainly be a refreshing good deed. They've indeed been too arrogant these past two years..."

"Don't worry, Old Master, leave it to me, I'll complete the task without a hitch." Chen Fei patted his chest confidently.

Seriously, if he, Chen Fei, couldn't even handle these small fry, he might as well go find a piece of tofu to knock himself dead. How embarrassing...
