However, as Chen Zheng and Zhao Feng approached the door, they were stopped by two burly men who blocked their path.

"Apologies, but the Fan Family has reserved this entire place for an important guest today. Please find somewhere else," one of the bodyguards said coldly.

"Open your damn eyes! This man right here is the guest you invited today!" Zhao Feng snapped.

"What did you say?" Both bodyguards were stunned.

Of course, they wouldn't know the true identity of the person Fan Xu Wang had invited. However, they had been notified in advance that the esteemed guest would arrive with Director Liu. They were very familiar with Director Liu, and he was definitely not one of the two men standing before them.

The most crucial point was their attire. It was so ordinary. How could they possibly be the VIPs the boss had invited?

"So you're not going to let us in, is that it?" Zhao Feng frowned.

"Zhao Feng, let's just go."

Chen Zheng turned to leave. If they weren't even allowed through the front door, there was no point in staying.

"Please wait a moment!" The bodyguard grew anxious and quickly stopped them.

If these two aren't VIPs, we'll just get chewed out at worst. But if they really are... we'll be in huge trouble!

"Our apologies for the rudeness. Please, come in…" The two bodyguards immediately became respectful, inviting them inside.

Chen Zheng shook his head slightly and walked in with Zhao Feng. Just then, a red Porsche pulled up not far away.

"You, stop right there!" A fair-skinned, handsome young man stepped out of the car, his gaze fixed icily on Chen Zheng.

"Well, well, if it isn't you. I haven't even had the chance to find you to settle our score, and yet you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep."

"I recall telling you that I didn't want to see your pathetic face again. It seems you have a short memory," Chen Zheng said with a slight frown.

"Arrogant!" Fan Xukun shot back. "Do you think you're still in your villa? Let me tell you, the White Jade Tower is swarming with my family's men today. You'd better hand over that video! Otherwise, I'll make sure you don't leave here in one piece. Believe it."

"Second Young Master, please don't be angry. This man might be the esteemed guest the Chairman invited," a nearby bodyguard explained.

"What? Him?" Fan Xukun was taken aback, then looked Chen Zheng up and down. "Are you blind? With his pauper-like appearance, what kind of VIP does he look like?"

Hearing this, the bodyguard's face flushed red. He had to admit the man's clothes were far too plain, nothing like a wealthy person's at all. They had only stopped the two from leaving as a precaution.

"Zhao Feng, let's go," Chen Zheng said, turning to leave. This was the second time, and he no longer had any desire to stay.

From this moment on, the Fan Family held absolutely no interest for him.

"Stop…" Fan Xukun shouted coldly. "Did I say you could leave? Are you all blind? Stop them for me, now!"

Fan Xukun certainly wasn't going to let them leave. After all, they had leverage over him.

He had to get that video from them. Otherwise, who knew when it might blow up in his face!

Receiving Fan Xukun's command, the two bodyguards didn't dare hesitate and charged forward menacingly.

Zhao Feng frowned, clenching his fists, but Chen Zheng stopped him with a look.

For Old Liu's sake, even if we couldn't agree on terms, it's best not to burn our bridges completely today.

"Fan Xukun, you're really starting to annoy me. I'll give you a piece of advice: don't bring disaster upon your family," Chen Zheng said icily.

"Hahaha… You think you have the right to threaten me? I really don't know where you get your confidence from," Fan Xukun mocked, shaking his head. "Do you even know what our family's status is in Jiangnan? Ever heard of a 'prestigious family'? A family needs a century of history to even qualify. What are you that gives you the right to stand here and shout at me?"

"A prestigious family?" Zhao Feng snorted. "Forget a minor family like yours. Even the great clans of the capital must bow their heads before our General. And you? What do you think you are?"

"How dare you insult me?" Fan Xukun erupted in fury, pointing a finger at Chen Zheng and cursing. "This damned cur thinks the great clans of the capital should bow to him? Who the hell does he think he is? You're nothing! Hand over the video now, or I swear I'll kill you today!"

"Impudent!" Zhao Feng could no longer hold back.

How dare this cur point at our General? He's really asking to die!

He took a powerful step forward, his aura flaring instantly.

Fan Xukun and his two bodyguards stumbled back, their eyes wide with shock. The killing intent radiating from this man was overwhelming!

"Zhao Feng, for Old Liu's sake, don't stoop to their level," Chen Zheng said, his brow furrowed as he walked toward their jeep.

"Just a scared dog after all, huh? You think I'll let you leave?" Seeing this, Fan Xukun assumed they were frightened and immediately ordered his men to block the jeep.

Zhao Feng ignored them, got into the car, and slammed on the accelerator, charging directly at Fan Xukun.

Terrified, Fan Xukun scrambled out of the way and shrieked, "You goddamn mutt! Don't think you can run! Sooner or later, I'll kill you!"

「Meanwhile」

Upstairs in the White Jade Tower, an elderly couple dressed in rich clothing sat at a dining table, their expressions anxious.

"What in the world is going on? This person is so arrogant. How could he still not be here at a time like this?" the woman complained with dissatisfaction.

This woman was, of course, Fan Xu Wang's wife, Zhao Huiru.

"What's the harm in waiting a little longer?" Fan Xu Wang remained calm. "He is a formidable figure. It's only right that we wait."

"A big shot?" Zhao Huiru snorted. "I've seen the boy. He's nothing special. So he knows Director Liu. What's so impressive about that?"

"Such a narrow-minded view!" Fan Xu Wang sneered. "I called Director Liu myself. That young man is his superior! Do you have any idea what kind of rank that implies?"

Just then, Fan Xukun walked in from outside.

"Second Brother, where have you been? Why are you so late?"

"Big Brother, I ran into some lunatic outside. Don't worry, I already chased him off!"

And so, the three of them began to wait together.
