Dongfang Family Mansion.
At this time, it was already past midnight, but everything showed no signs of settling down.
In fact, the entire estate was shrouded in a grim and oppressive gloom.
Qi Mengge disregarded the opinions of the action department and forcefully brought back her son's body, while Zhou Zhenhai also brought back the body of Dongfang Yu.
At this moment, there were three bodies in the main hall, the other one naturally being Pan Sheng's.
The Dongfang Family had already sent people to contact Pan Haoting, but so far, there's been no response.
The entire main and branch families of the Dongfang Family, including servants, house servants, and elite bodyguards, about three hundred people, all gathered below the hall with heavy expressions, waiting for Qi Mengge to give orders.
In front of Qi Mengge, a large group of well-dressed young people kneeled, the very same young lords and wealthy ladies who attended the party on the dragon boat last night.
Normally, these young lords and ladies were all pampered and indulged, but now, facing Qi Mengge, they seemed like frightened quails, crouching on the ground quivering with fear.
"Aunt Qi, that's what happened last night. Young Master Hui wanted to invite that Nangong Qingcheng to dance, but was refused. Young Master Hui, in a fit of rage, said some harsh words, and as a result, Jiang Feng hit both Young Master Hui and Pan Sheng without further ado. After being hit, Young Master Hui was also kicked, and he didn't make it on the spot..."
The leading young lord cautiously explained to Qi Mengge the events of last night.
"What was Dongfang Yu's attitude at that time, tell me clearly!" Qi Mengge asked through gritted teeth.
"Uncle Dongfang was also angry at the time, claiming he would call all three hundred sailors and security on the boat to deal with that Jiang Feng, but the chairman of Binhai Rongchang Group, Zhou Rongfa, suddenly called him aside and said a few words."
"Then, Uncle Dongfang's attitude changed, and he didn't pursue Jiang Feng's responsibility on the spot, and left holding Young Master Hui..."
"Zhou Rongfa?" Zhou Zhenhai, standing beside Qi Mengge, frowned and asked coldly, "What does it have to do with him? What did he say?"
"We don't know, but it seems like he was speaking for that Jiang Feng. He whispered to Uncle Dongfang, who changed his expression after listening, and then..."
"Where is Zhou Rongfa now?"
Qi Mengge suddenly turned and asked Zhou Zhenhai.
"Got off the boat early this morning, not sure if he returned to Binhai, I need to check."
"Check immediately! I want to see him in person at once!" Qi Mengge said venomously.
"Yes!"
...
Zhou Rongfa, Jia Youcai, Jiang Tianxing, Yang Wanli, Tao Guoyi and other big shots from Binhai, also got off the boat with the crowd after the dragon boat docked in the morning.
But they didn't return to Binhai; instead, they stayed in the Provincial City for the night.
Firstly, they wanted to discuss the gains from the boat and further negotiate cooperation with other city leaders.
Secondly, they all witnessed Jiang Feng being taken away by the Provincial City action department, which made them uneasy, preparing to stay and observe the situation, ready to offer help if needed.
The place they stayed at for the night was naturally not ordinary, it was also a five-star hotel in the Provincial City, with each person booking a presidential suite.
With Zhou Zhenhai's skills, it wasn't hard to find out Zhou Rongfa's room number in the shortest time, he soon personally brought people over.
At this time, Zhou Rongfa hadn't gone to sleep.
Not long ago, the few elders, including Jia Youcai, drank tea in his room, agreeing to go to the Provincial City action department early the next morning to help Jiang Feng clear the relations.
Then Zhou Rongfa called a professional masseur to come up, had a good massage, and was just about to sleep when he heard a knock on the door.
He walked over, puzzled, and opened the door, only to see a group of uninvited guests standing outside!
The moment the door opened, a big foot stretched out from outside, hitting his stomach directly, knocking him to the ground in embarrassment.
"Zhou Rongfa, know who I am?"
The group of uninvited guests walked in aggressively, led by Zhou Zhenhai, who asked coldly.
"Who... are you?"
Zhou Rongfa struggled to lift his head; he didn't recognize this group, but the elder speaking made him feel a strong presence, not a common person!
"I am of the same family as you, surname Zhou, given name Zhenhai, have you heard of me now?" Zhou Zhenhai asked disdainfully.
"Zhou Zhenhai!!!"
Zhou Rongfa naturally heard of this name, the other party was actually the Great Housekeeper of the Dongfang Family, no wonder he had such a presence!
"Good, since you've heard of my name, come with me for a walk!"
Zhou Zhenhai said unceremoniously, stepping forward to grab Zhou Rongfa by the nape and handing him to the attendants behind him.
Afterwards, they tied Zhou Rongfa up thoroughly and escorted him directly out the door.
Poor as the security conditions of this five-star hotel, though quite high, faced with Zhou Zhenhai's forceful entrance, no one dared to meddle.
In fact, the staff and security guards even hid far away, pretending not to see.
...
Soon, Zhou Rongfa was taken to the Dongfang Family Mansion.
At this time, two more people had appeared beside Qi Mengge.
The one on the left, about the same age as Zhou Zhenhai, with a face full of anger, was the previous Family Head of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Xiao!
He was the father of Dongfang Yu, Qi Mengge's father-in-law.
Originally, Dongfang Xiao had already relinquished control of family affairs, passing all power to his son and daughter-in-law, but upon the sudden news of his son and grandson's deaths, he rushed over in anger.
However, even upon reemerging, in the face of the domineering daughter-in-law, he could only sit aside.
On Qi Mengge's right, the elderly figure seemed even older, possibly a generation senior to Dongfang Xiao, being the Dongfang Family's elder support and living fossil, Dongfang Yunbao.
Like Huangfu Qinggang of the Huangfu Family, Dongfang Yunbao was also a martial arts fanatic!
Only he had stepped into the Grandmaster Level earlier, having touched the threshold of Grandmaster twenty years ago, now ranking among the top ten in the entire Provincial City for martial prowess!
Dongfang Yunbao rarely showed up and had no interest in family trivialities, otherwise, Qi Mengge would never dare to wield power arrogantly under his watch.
But now, involving the killings of the Family Head and future Family Head, even this old martial fanatic couldn't sit idly by, bringing along disciples to the main hall to join Qi Mengge, just waiting to find the perpetrator and tear them apart!
With these truly older-generation leaders of the Dongfang Family at her side, Qi Mengge's arrogance grew stronger.
She watched as Zhou Zhenhai brought back Zhou Rongfa and directly gestured, yelling, "Bring him to me!"
