"If Master Jia were to serve as a protector for our Liu Family, we would indeed have a guardian deity," Liu Toukang mused, considering that Jiang Chen's strength might not truly compare to Jia Xingliang's, which gave him a bit more confidence.
"On the day after tomorrow, Master Jia will engage in a contest of skills with a Feng Shui Master from Southeast Asia. He plans to invite some people to watch, and we should go as well. I've heard that Master Jia's Feng Shui abilities have reached an extraordinary level," Han Baiying remarked.
"That would be ideal. If I could witness Master Jia's Feng Shui prowess firsthand, I should be able to determine who is stronger between Master Jia and Mr. Jiang. If Master Jia is indeed more powerful than Mr. Jiang, then I wouldn't need to fear him anymore," Liu Toukang replied.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen and Ding Yan returned to their hotel, quickly washed up, and went to bed. However, that night, many found it difficult to sleep.
The Liu Family, Li Xiyun, the Bride's Mother, and others, along with Zhao Hun from Aodao and Ding Yan's Father, Ding Shaowen, were all present. As wealthy individuals from Aodao, they naturally came to celebrate the Liu Family's joyous occasion. Earlier in the crowd, they had witnessed Jiang Chen's impressive demeanor and had quietly withdrawn.
Particularly notable was how Lin Shuang, the underground boss from Hong Kong Island, treated Jiang Chen with respect; this made Zhao Hun feel uneasy. Yet he remained undeterred and hurriedly called Master Wu after returning to the hotel.
On that day in Aodao, Jiang Chen had injured both Zhao Hun and Master Wu at the hotel. Master Wu was a disciple of Elder Liang, a Martial Arts Grandmaster from Hong Kong Island. He had been harboring resentment over that humiliation and was eager for revenge upon hearing that Jiang Chen was in Hong Kong Island.
"President Zhao, it seems like a heavenly opportunity has presented itself. That kid really is reckless—he dares to come to Hong Kong Island," Master Wu exclaimed joyfully upon learning of Jiang Chen's presence.
"Then Master Wu, when can we ask Elder Liang to take action?" Zhao Hun cautiously inquired. He had great confidence in Elder Liang’s abilities and believed that if Elder Liang intervened, he could certainly teach Jiang Chen a lesson.
"My master has been feeling unwell these past few days; it's just a minor injury and he will recover soon. For now, keep an eye on that kid and make sure he doesn't leave Hong Kong Island. I'll speak with my master tomorrow," Master Wu replied.
"However, Master Wu, that kid knows Lin Shuang from the Azure Green Society and has connections with the Liu Family," Zhao Hun expressed his concerns.
"Enough! This is our martial arts matter; outsiders have no right to interfere. Just wait—once I report to my master, it will be the end for that kid," Master Wu interrupted angrily.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Hun smirked coldly; he was fully confident in Master Wu's words. What he didn't know was that Master Wu’s master, Elder Liang, had nearly lost his life at Jiang Chen’s hands just days prior. Last time, Jiang Chen had merely thrown him out of a window; if he dared to provoke Jiang Chen again this time, the outcome would be dire.
Moreover, Zhao Hun himself would also meet a tragic end—there would be no one to plead for him even though he was currently married to Ding Yan's mother.
That night felt both long and short.
Jiang Chen slept soundly.
The next day, Liu Toukang sent a car to pick up Jiang Chen from the hotel and take him to his company as per Jiang Chen's request before leaving the previous night. Liu Toukang dared not refuse and obediently arranged for transportation while Jiang Chen went alone.
The Zijin Building is located in the bustling area of Hong Kong Island; it is entirely owned by the Liu Family and serves as their corporate headquarters.
