Chapter 29: Barging Into the Su Residence

After finishing this series of actions, Ye Xuan threw Long Tian aside and left without bothering to cast him a second glance.

Soon, news of Long Tian’s hands being crippled spread throughout Jianghai City. Everyone was in an uproar, discussing the young man who dared to provoke the Long Family.

"Find him! Find him for me! I want him dead!"

Long Peng’s study was in total chaos. Though middle-aged, his hair had seemingly turned white overnight. His bloodshot eyes glared viciously at the two bodyguards in front of him, and his expression was twisted as he screamed for Ye Xuan’s death. Facing the furious Long Peng, the two bodyguards didn’t dare to make a sound, only silently waiting for him to finish venting. Right at this moment, a knock sounded on the study door.

"Patriarch, there is a man outside claiming to be the Qilin Chief asking for you. He says he has a way to deal with that Ye Xuan."

The butler’s voice reached Long Peng’s ears. Upon hearing the title ’Qilin Chief,’ the initially impatient Long Peng instantly stood up and rushed out like a gust of wind.

Outside the gates of the Long family’s villa stood a young man. He had a tall, robust build and sharp eyes, though his facial features were rather plain.

"You’re the Qilin Chief?" an excited Long Peng immediately furrowed his brows upon seeing the young man, asking in an uncertain tone. He wondered if the big shot who was thriving in Jingcheng could really be this ordinary, unknown man standing before him.

Hearing this, the young man scoffed, clear disdain in his eyes.

"The Qilin Chief is a busy man; such a trivial matter doesn’t require his personal presence. I am Fierce Tiger, the top assassin of the Qilin Hall. The Qilin Chief sent me to help you deal with that guy named Ye Xuan."

The young man’s answer and attitude made Long Peng extremely displeased, and a hint of annoyance seeped into his voice. "Why should I believe you? You say you’re Fierce Tiger, but what proof do you have?"

Long Peng was highly suspicious of this guy who had popped out of nowhere. Just as Fierce Tiger himself had said, the Qilin Chief was deeply occupied with numerous affairs—how could he have the time to meddle in their business? Furthermore, just to deal with a piece of trash kept by a woman, was it really necessary to specifically dispatch the top assassin of the Qilin Hall?

Seeing through Long Peng’s thoughts, Fierce Tiger smiled once more.

In the next second, despite initially being some distance away, he materialized right in front of Long Peng. A gleaming sharp knife appeared a mere millimeter from Long Peng’s forehead. Long Peng was scared witless. His mouth fell wide open, his legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the ground. He had genuinely felt the murderous intent radiating from Fierce Tiger. The fear of death lingered in his heart, and a puddle of yellow liquid pooled beneath him.

Seeing this, Fierce Tiger took a step back in disgust. What a coward. He had merely shown a fraction of his skills, yet the man had already wet himself in fear.

"Do you believe me now?" Fierce Tiger asked, looking down at Long Peng.

"I believe you! I believe you! Mr. Fierce Tiger, please avenge my son! That man named Ye Xuan, I want him dead!"

It took a good while for Long Peng to regain his senses. Scrambling and crawling over to Fierce Tiger, he kowtowed three times—THUD, THUD, THUD. He only had one son in this lifetime, Long Tian. He was counting on him to inherit the Long Family and bring honor to their ancestors, but unexpectedly, Ye Xuan had completely crippled the boy’s hands. How could he not hate him?

Seeing the intense hatred for Ye Xuan in Long Peng’s eyes, Fierce Tiger finally revealed a hint of satisfaction. Three days ago, he was ordered to infiltrate Jianghai City with the goal of making the suddenly appearing Cyan Dragon Chief disappear completely. However, Ye Xuan was constantly accompanied by White Snake, leaving Fierce Tiger with no opportunity to strike. Furthermore, Jianghai City was not their territory, making things quite inconvenient for Fierce Tiger. After finding out about the grudges Ye Xuan had with the Long Family and the Su Family, he decided to use the two families to deal with Ye Xuan.

"Take me to see Su Xiaobai."

The Long Family’s influence in Jianghai City was decent, but it still paled in comparison to the Su Family. To ensure the mission was completed without fail, Fierce Tiger had to seek out Su Xiaobai.

"Yes, yes, yes. I’ll take you to Eldest Young Master Su right now."

At this moment, Long Peng was willing to grant Fierce Tiger’s every request. Without even taking the time to change his clothes, he drove Fierce Tiger straight to the Su family’s estate. Compared to the Yang family’s estate, the Su family’s estate lacked a bit of ancient, solemn aura, leaning more toward a modern style. However, in terms of extravagance and imposing presence, it wasn’t lacking in the slightest. It was no wonder the Su Family dared to challenge the Yang Family.

"Who goes there? If you know what’s good for you, get the hell out of here! This isn’t a place you should be!"

As soon as Long Peng’s car arrived at the gates of the Su family’s estate, it was intercepted by bodyguards. As the saying goes, a dog flaunts its master’s might; these bodyguards were a perfect illustration of that phrase.

"I am Long Peng, Patriarch of the Long Family. My son, Long Tian, is good friends with Eldest Young Master Su. I came here specifically to see him. I hope you gentlemen can be accommodating and let us through."

Facing the arrogant bodyguards, Long Peng didn’t dare to lose his temper in the slightest. After all, this was the Su family’s territory. Since he had arrived uninvited, he would be lucky just not to be kicked out.

"Scram, scram, scram! I don’t care who you are. No entry without an appointment! Since your son is friends with Eldest Young Master Su, have him call and make an appointment. As long as Eldest Young Master Su gives the word, I’ll let you through immediately."

But these bodyguards completely ignored his pleas, keeping straight faces and refusing to let them in. Fierce Tiger, waiting by the side, was growing impatient. Clicking his tongue, he hopped straight into the driver’s seat and slammed on the gas pedal. Long Peng and the bodyguards standing at the gate all turned pale with fright, hurriedly dodging to the side. Meanwhile, Fierce Tiger drove the car straight into the Su family’s estate.

"Alarm! Alarm! We have an intruder!"

"Grab this guy first! Don’t let him get away!"

The bodyguards hurriedly sounded the alarm and immediately tied Long Peng up. Long Peng tried to struggle and explain himself, but he was promptly knocked unconscious. The piercing siren instantly alarmed everyone in the Su family’s estate.

Su Xiaobai was still lying in bed at the time. Hearing the alarm, an impatient look immediately appeared on his face.

"Young Master Su, what happened? Why did the alarm go off?"

A charming, seductive woman threw herself into Su Xiaobai’s arms in panic, asking with feigned fear.

"It’s nothing. I’ll go out and take a look."

After saying that, Su Xiaobai groped the woman roughly, and then, reluctant to leave Yiyi, he got out of bed.

At this time, although Fierce Tiger had already reached the ground floor of the Su family’s villa, he was completely surrounded by a group of burly bodyguards. Having his path blocked once again, the expression on Fierce Tiger’s face grew even more impatient. Even though there were twenty or thirty bodyguards standing in his way, Fierce Tiger truly didn’t take them seriously at all.

Small fry like them weren’t even enough for him to warm up.
