The news of Jiang Feng's death duel with the Yan Family and the ultimate defeat of their expert, Guan Hao, quickly spread through various channels.
Within half a day, everyone in the upper circles of Binhai City knew about it!
Suddenly, accusations against the Yan Family for their unscrupulous behavior and doubts about them engulfed Binhai, and people even overlooked the victor Jiang Feng of this battle, focusing instead on denouncing the Yan Family!
After all, the Yan Family has been domineering in Binhai for many years, and there were plenty who disliked them, forced to submit only because of their intimidation.
But now, the sanctified authority the Yan Family built over the years has been heavily struck, naturally resulting in the fate of a wall collapsing with everyone pushing, a broken drum beaten by many.
South City, headquarters of the action department.
Mu Jianmin called Situ Yan into his office, listening as a plainclothes action team member detailed the death duel.
Due to his special identity, Mu Jianmin himself was not suitable to appear at the Death Battle Arena, but this did not mean he was unconcerned with the outcome of the battle.
Thus, Mu Jianmin secretly sent a plainclothes officer to the scene as a spectator, to report back the process to him.
As for Situ Yan, she is his confidante, and Mu Jianmin also knows that Situ Yan has a close relationship with Jiang Feng, making it most appropriate to have her listen as well.
"Mu SIR, what I said is all true, without any exaggeration, the Yan's Guan Hao was absolutely no match for Mr. Jiang, being beaten to death with two punches and a kick!"
The plainclothes officer said earnestly, "I even suspect that Mr. Jiang could have killed Guan Hao with just one move! He may have just wanted to see how much this so-called top martial arts prodigy of Binhai weighed, so he deliberately let Guan Hao live a few more seconds. In front of him, Guan Hao was just a piece of trash, unable to withstand a single blow!"
Mu Jianmin and Situ Yan exchanged a look, seeing the intense shock and incredulity on each other's faces!
Even though they secretly supported Jiang Feng, they didn't expect Jiang Feng to win so easily!
What kind of concept is two punches and one kick?
Binhai City's first martial arts prodigy in decades wasn't even enough for him to defeat in one move!
"Xiao Yan, your judgment is exceptional. Mr. Jiang is an extraordinary person, unfathomable, and rare is his modest and unassuming nature, hiding his abilities! Such a good man is not easy to find in today's world, you should hold onto him well." Mu Jianmin said, teasingly smiling at Situ Yan amid his shock.
"Tsk!" Situ Yan, not expecting Mu Jianmin to suddenly bring the topic to her, blushed instantly, giving Mu Jianmin a shy glare, "Mu SIR, what are you talking about, that guy and I are just ordinary friends!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Mu Jianmin raised an eyebrow, pretending to be serious, "Seems I overthought, alright then, I was just giving you a reminder, pretend I didn't say anything."
"Mu SIR, you're so long-winded!" Situ Yan rolled her eyes at Mu Jianmin, her face growing even redder!
"Haha, alright, I'll stop talking, but you know better than anyone what's in your heart, why play dumb with me?" Mu Jianmin laughed.
In fact, Mu Jianmin had heard of Jiang Feng's betrothal to Nangong Qingcheng.
But, he didn't think that would affect anything.
After all, they hadn't officially gotten married, right?
No marriage means anything is possible!
Besides, who doesn't stand up for their own?
No matter what, Situ Yan is his capable subordinate, he doesn't want his competent female officer to be perpetually upset, living a life of regrets!
So, this time, he made an exception to knock some sense into her, to encourage her.
Situ Yan was too shy to respond, ignoring Mu Jianmin.
However, she truly didn't expect Jiang Feng to pull off such a heaven-defying feat!
With her hand supporting her chin, her mind started to wander.
That rascal always exceeds her expectations in being more powerful!
Whenever she thought she might thoroughly understand Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng would constantly bring her new surprises!
Considering this, she wasn't so worried about Old Man's upcoming birthday banquet, feeling a bit more confident.
At least, an almighty Jiang Feng would not let the He Family be too brazen, right?
...
At this moment.
On the exclusive Aston Martin rushing back from East City to South City, Han Shilong's face was ashen as he leaned silently back in his seat, closing his eyes to rest.
The driver didn't dare speak, fearing that a careless word would provoke Chairman Han's temper, causing trouble for himself!
Beside Han Shilong, a young man was looking down at his phone.
His name is Ling Haoran, and he's Han Shilong's own nephew.
Now that Han Lengxuan is dead, Han Shilong cannot have no descendants, so he promoted his convenient nephew, Ling Haoran, focusing on training him to take Han Lengxuan's place.
Ling Haoran turned out to be quite competent, excelling in various aspects, acting appropriately, very much pleasing Han Shilong.
Consequently, Ling Haoran's status in today's Han Group rises rapidly, seeming to replace Han Lengxuan, becoming Binhai's foremost scion!
"Uncle, look, now outside there are overwhelming voices mocking the Yan Family, it's ridiculous! The Yan Family ran rampant in Binhai for so many years, yet ultimately they're ruining themselves at the hands of a third-rate security guard, such a disgrace!"
Ling Haoran gleefully handed the phone to Han Shilong, flattering him with a smile.
Han Shilong opened his eyes, and his gloomy expression instantly made Ling Haoran's smile freeze on his face.
"Are you happy that Jiang Feng won?" Han Shilong asked, squinting his eyes.
"No, not happy! How could I be happy about his win?" Ling Haoran quickly said, "I just think the Yan Family is going to get into big trouble this time! They've dominated Binhai for so many years and now they're being dragged down from the Divine Altar, heavily questioned! Maybe, our Han Family could rise upon the opportunity and contend with them in the future!"
"Nonsense!" Han Shilong snapped angrily, making Ling Haoran shudder!
"Haven't you heard of the phrase 'when lips are gone, teeth are cold'? Do you think with the Yan Family in turmoil, it's our Han Family's chance to prosper? Use your brain and think, the one truly benefiting now is that Jiang!"
Han Shilong yelled angrily, "Through this battle, he's become renowned! In Binhai, he's known by everyone, do you think when he grows someday, there'll still be a place for us in Binhai?"
"You are right, Uncle! Please don't be angry, it's my oversight and foolishness…" Ling Haoran hurriedly apologized upon seeing his uncle's rage!
"Let me tell you, today that Jiang has become our great nemesis! Originally, I thought if Guan Hao could kill him in the ring, that would be the end of it! I'd kill using someone else, also avenging Xuan'er! But now, it seems I must go that route!"
"Uncle, you mean?" Ling Haoran sensed something, asking in shock.
"That Jiang, this time caused my banks and gambling institutions to compensate such large amounts, severely impacting our Han Group, I won't spare him no matter what!" Han Shilong's face was dark with malicious intent, resolutely determined, with a pervasive killing intent.
