Chapter 1882
It has been almost ten minutes. Logically speaking, my men should have beaten that piece ofsh*t to
death by now. Why haven''t they called yet? Could it be that something went wrong?
Meng Chuan thought to himself with a frown.
However, he was quick to dismiss that possibility.
“No, that''s impossible. I''ve sent so many men after him this time, and some of them are highly
trained martial artists! That piece of sh*t is bound to be dead regardless of his fighting skills!”
If anything, Meng Chuan was more concerned about Ye Fan not showing up at all.
He had gone to great lengths just to track Ye Fan down throughout the past few days.
Eventually, he managed to find out that Ye Fan was staying in an old house in the countryside, but
Ye Fan had already escaped by the time he got there.
Infuriated, Meng Chuan decided to bait Ye Fan into showing up by using Hu Yipeng and his family
members.
Being a vengeful man, Meng Chuan harbored intense hatred toward Ye Fan after being humiliated
by him and nearly dying at the hands of the Zhang family.
Due to the Zhang family''s great power, I had no choice but to keep my anger and hatred
suppressed. Now that the Zhang family is no more, my family has be the greatest force here in
Jiangbei, so I no longer have anything to worry about! First, I''ll kill off Ye Fan. Then, when this
banquet in Weske Is over, I''ll go after Qiu Mucheng!
“This b*tch thinks she can rest easy after allying with the Zhang family? Heh... Soon, I will show
everyone the true power of the Meng family!” Meng Chuan muttered under his breath as an
arrogant and vicious smile crept upon his face.
“Mr. Meng, we won''t be able to make it in time if we don''t leave now. The banquet at Weske will
be a historical moment for the Meng family. You shouldn''t bete for it or the other elders are going
to give you a hard time again,” one of the elders standing beside him urged him again.
Meng Chuan nodded. “All right, let''s head over.”
Figuring that his subordinates had probably forgotten to call him, Meng Chuan decided not to wait
any
longer and rushed over to Weske.
To him, Ye Fan was a small fry that didn''t deserve that much of his attention.
The banquet in Weske was a lot more important inparison.
Lake Xizi was surrounded by mountains on three sides and divided into three sections by three
dikes.
From a distance, it looked just like a gemstone with the emerald-green water reflecting the sky
above.
Despite having over a thousand years of history, Weske managed to withstand the test of time.
Countless historical events have taken ce around theke over the years, and there would only
be more toe in the future.
Tons of fancy cars could be seen in the area as VIPs from various areas in Jiangbei gathered
around.
“Say, what do you all think Mr. Meng is trying to do? Why would he host a banquet in Weske all of
a sudden? He even invited all the VIPs in Jiangbei over! Could it be to celebrate his birthday?”
A boatman was casually humming a tune as he slowly rowed a boat around Heart Ind with a few
wealthy men on board.
“I remember Mr. Meng''s birthday being in the summer, though. Isn''t it a little too early to be
celebrating his birthday right after winter?”
“What do you guys think this banquet at Weske is for, then?”
“Isn''t it obvious? Didn''t you guys hear about the recent events in Livingsfill? The Zhang family is
finished! I bet Mr. Meng is seizing this opportunity to assert dominance over Weske and have all
of Jiangbei submit to him. He wants people like us to respect him as the head of Jiangbei!”
One of them managed to gather some information on the Meng family and found out about their
ns.
The others were all shocked to hearthat but soon nodded after giving it some thought.
“Honestly, I didn''t think the Meng family would actually defeat the Zhang family! When I was little,
my grandpa used to tell me that the Zhang family is the one that truly rules Jiangbei!”
“That was over sixty years ago, right? Is this really the end of the line for the Zhang family? All good
things really doe to an end, huh?” one of the elders eximed with a sigh.
As the men carried on chatting, a small ind slowly came into view in the distance.
“Huh? It''s only been a few years since Ist came to Weske. Why do I feel like it has changed so
much? I remember that pavilion looking a lot more run-down in the past. Also, the trees used to
tower over the ce like buildings back then. Why have the trees reduced so much in size? Hey,
boatman! Did Heart Ind undergo a renovation or something?” one of the billionaires asked
curiously when he noticed the major changes that had taken ce on Heart Ind.
The boatman nced about before whispering, “I take it that you gentlemen aren''t from around
here, then? Did you all not hear about the tragedy that took ce here in Weske a few years
ago?”
He had assumed that the billionaires on the boat were incredibly knowledgeable people, butthat
didn''t seem to be the case.
At the very least, they were ignorant of the tragedy that took ce in Weske back then.
“Huh? A tragedy here in Weske? What tragedy? Please, do tell us more about it!”
The men on the boat grew interested after hearing that.
However, one of them wasn''t particrly excited about it.
That man was none otherthan Chu Wenfei.
He too, had been invited to the banquet at Weske.
Although he was initially reluctant to attend it, he figured it would offend the Meng family greatly if he
refused their invitation.
As such, Chu Wenfei had no choice but to attend the banquet.

I wonder how Zhang Zixi is doing now... I hope she managed to get as far away from them as
possible...
Chu Wenfei was worried about Zhang Zixi, who had saved their lives back then.
Practically everyone in Jiangbei had known about what happened to the Zhang family, and Chu
Wenfei was no exception.
He was so shocked by the news of the Zhang family''s annihtion that he fell from his chair when
he heard it. In fact, he was incredibly close to just packing his stuff and leaving the city.
After all, he did get into a minor conflict with Meng Chuan in order to save Qiu Mucheng.
While it wasn''t anything serious, things did get a little tense between them at the time.
With the Zhang family being wiped out like that, it was only natural for Chu Wenfei to fear for his life.
However, he dismissed that fear when he recalled the fact that he was a nobody inparison to
the Zhang family. Figuring that Meng Chuan would most probably forget about him, Chu Wenfei
decided to cancel his ns of running away.
Surely enough, he turned out to be right about that. The Meng family didn''te after him at all,
much to his relief.
He then continued to secretly gather information on the Zhang family afterward.
Chu Wenfei felt incredibly relieved when he eventually found out that Zhang Zixi was the only one
who escaped the massacre that night.
After all, it would be a shame for a young and beautiful woman like Zhang Zixi to die like this.
Right as Chu Wenfei was praying for Zhang Zixi''s safety, the boatman could be heard saying, “A
few years ago, the Lu n used to rule over Jiangbei. The patriarch of the Lu n was a man
named Lu Songliang, and his authority was far greater than that of Zhang Jiuling, the patriarch of
the Zhang family. You could even say the Lu n was the true king of Jiangbei. They were so
powerful that even the Zhang family had to show them respect. Back then, the Lu n, too, hosted
a banquet in Weske. From what I''ve heard, Yanjing sent an ambassador over to grant them the
Supreme title. Back in the day, to have a title like this was akin to having a royal title! I''m sure you all
can imagine the glory that the Lu n had back then. Almost all the forces in China held them in
high regard! They were practically unrivaled!”
Hearing that, Chu Wenfei frowned.
Huh? Why does this sound so familiar?
