Chapter 67: Going to the Meeting
In a hospital room in Nanming County.
After being resuscitated, Luo Mingxuan woke up from his coma. His limbs were completely paralyzed, and he occasionally felt sharp pains in his chest. Recalling the events before he passed out, he looked at the people in the room and shouted like a madman, "Grandpa, Dad, when can I recover the use of my hands and feet? I want to tear that kid to pieces."
Aside from Yang Six, who was standing there respectfully, there was an old man between sixty and seventy years old and a middle-aged man in his forties in the room.
The elder wore a black Tang suit filled with a malevolent energy. He was Luo Mingxuan's grandfather, Luo Jiande.
The doctor said that, given the state of Luo Mingxuan's shattered bones, even if he were to recover, he would likely suffer significant lingering effects and might even be unable to walk like a normal person.
Luo Jiande comforted him, "Mingxuan, rest and recuperate patiently for some time, and you'll be able to recover soon."
The middle-aged man, who was frowning deeply, was Luo Mingxuan's father, Luo Zhiyong.
Luo Jiande had retired four years ago, and now the entire underground force of Nanming County was controlled by this man.
The number of people who had died at his hands was not small. Seeing his son was likely to become disabled, rage surged incessantly in his heart. Read the latest on empire
Luo Mingxuan's mother had died rather early.
Although Luo Zhiyong remarried and had another woman, all they had were daughters, so Luo Mingxuan was the future heir of the Luo Family. He had been doted on by everyone in the family since childhood. No matter what he did in Nanming County, the Luo Family would clean it all up for him.
"Mingxuan, how do you want that kid to die?" Luo Zhiyong's eyes burst with killing intent.
With a ferocious expression, Luo Mingxuan said, "Shoot his head with a gun. I want to watch his head explode from a gunshot."
After Luo Zhiyong nodded, he turned his gaze to Luo Jiande.
After noticing Luo Zhiyong's gaze, Luo Jiande said, "Six, please invite the two of them to my villa for a late-night snack. I believe you can manage that, right?"
Carefully, Yang Six asked, "Lord Luo, Wang Anxiong has some status in Wuzhou..."
Luo Jiande waved his hand impatiently, "Wang Anxiong is indeed somebody in Wuzhou, but this is our Luo Family's Nanming County. Even if he is a fierce tiger, he must crouch for me; even if he is a dragon, he must coil for me."
"A number of families from Wuzhou have already called to inquire, and they all won't interfere with tonight's affairs. Is our Luo Family so easily provoked? Daring to break the bones of my grandson, Luo Jiande's grandson?"
"It has been a long time since anyone dared to challenge the authority of our Luo Family in Nanming County."
After hearing Luo Jiande's words, Yang Six's original worry dissipated. It seemed he had underestimated the Luo Family. This time, Wang Anxiong was a dragon trapped in shallow waters.
"Lord Luo, I will invite them over for a late snack right away. Rest assured, I will take care of this matter," said Yang Six as he left the hospital room, calling a few of his men to hurry to the JY Hotel.
...
Wang Anxiong, who was supposed to return to his own room to rest, knocked on Shen Feng's door after receiving a call from Yang Six.
Soon, Shen Feng opened the door.
After entering the room, Wang Anxiong said, "Master, Yang Six just called me, saying that the Luo Family wants us to come over for a late-night snack now."
Shen Feng nodded and replied, "I was just thinking of eating something. Too bad! The Luo Family can't produce food that suits my taste."
"But since others have shown sincere intentions, we should make the trip,"
Shen Feng wanted to clear up all the troubles tonight and spare himself the hassle from the Luo Family in the future.
The door to the room wasn't closed, and Shen Feng sat in a chair with his eyes closed, resting.
After a while, the sound of footsteps approached.
Soon, Yang Six entered the room followed by ten burly men with bulging waists, a clear sign they had guns hidden underneath.
"An Xiong, I wanted to catch up with you properly this time; never thought it would come to this. For a conman from the underworld, was it worth it to do this? Remember, I am your brother," Yang Six's face remained calm.
Wang Anxiong chuckled coldly and said, "Yang Six, when you were under me, you supported every decision I made without hesitation, and my decisions were never wrong."
Yang Six retorted sarcastically, "You've gotten old, and everyone makes mistakes eventually. Let's go, Master Luo's late-night snack must be ready by now—I guarantee it will satisfy both of you."
"Given our brotherhood, I don't want to make things difficult. If I have to take action and deal with you, that won't look good!"
Shen Feng stood up from the chair. He hadn't glanced at Yang Six even once and said to Wang Anxiong, "Let's go."
They left the JY Hotel.
Shen Feng and Wang Anxiong got into the back seat of Yang Six's car.
One of Yang Six's subordinates was driving.
As the car started, Yang Six, sitting in the front passenger seat, gazed out into the pitch-black night and said, "An Xiong, weren't you living it up in Wuzhou? You know, I've always been jealous of you, which is why I left on my own. I never felt I was inferior to you. Why should I work under you?"
"You must have good relationships with the major families in Wuzhou, right? They'll surely come to your aid tonight, so it seems you're quite confident," Yang Six couldn't help but mock as he noticed Wang Anxiong's calm expression, which inexplicably irritated him.
He originally wanted to treat Wang Anxiong well this time, not intending to break ties with him, but plans couldn't keep up with changes.
Seeing that neither Wang Anxiong nor Shen Feng said a word,
Yang Six pulled out a shiny black gun and pointed it at Shen Feng, "Kid, aren't you some kind of master? You'd better be able to stop bullets then, otherwise this late-night snack is just beginning, and you'll have to bite the dust."
Seeing Shen Feng's expression remain unchanged even when faced with the dark muzzle of the gun, his eyes narrowed, "Pretending to be calm, let's see how long you can keep that up."
He put the gun away again.
After driving for over an hour, the car came to a stop outside a villa.
At the villa's entrance, men in black stood guard, their waists all bulging.
Yang Six was the first to step out of the vehicle. He opened the door for Wang Anxiong and whispered, "So, having any regrets now? Everything you've built up might come crashing down tonight. You've really brought this upon yourself, but remember, I did warn you."
Wang Anxiong stared coldly at Yang Six, feeling pity for a brother who didn't realize that once the master intervened, who here could stop him?
The Luo Family might have just invited King Yama over for a late-night meal, yet they're all still in high spirits!
