Chapter 1216 Hidden Crisis
Feng Yanlie respectfully welcomed Lin Chen into the hall dedicated to receiving distinguished guests. Feng Yufei personally offered Lin Chen a cup of tea and stood aside respectfully.
Lin Chen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "I just came here casually to have a look, so you don't have to be too cautious."
"I heard that the Feng family is developing very well now, and has become the top four wealthy families in Sioux City, and has become the second largest family in the entire Jiangnan Province after the Tang family?"
Feng Yanlie smiled all over his face and said: "Yes, but this is all thanks to you, Mr. Lin. If it wasn't for your relationship, our Feng family would not have achieved such a big fortune in such a short period of time. Development, this is all thanks to you!"
There is not much exaggeration in his words.
In the past, although the Feng family belonged to a wealthy family, it was only in a small city like Sioux City. In the entire Jiangnan Province, compared with other cities and the wealthy families in Jinling, the provincial capital, it is not Enough to see.
However, because Feng Yanlie had always stood unwaveringly on Lin Chen's side, especially after Lin Chen gained the common hegemony of the Jiangnan and Dongwang provinces, the Feng family relied on Lin Chen's momentum to rise, Only then has it made great progress.
Speaking of which, the Tang family in the provincial capital, which also stood firmly on Lin Chen's side, and the Chu family in Yangcheng also reaped huge benefits from this, so now, the Tang family is the top-ranked top-ranking family in Jiangnan Province. The rich family, the Feng family and the Chu family are slightly behind.
But now, the Chu family has gradually spread the market and shifted the focus of development to Kyoto, so now the top wealthy family that ranks second in Jiangnan Province has become the Feng family.
Regarding such a huge change, although Feng Yanlie is old, he is not confused. He is very clear that the biggest contributor to the Feng family's great achievements like today is Lin Chen.
So in Feng Yanlie's heart, Lin Chen was extremely respectful and grateful.
Leading the entire Feng family to submit to Lin Chen before was probably the most correct thing Feng Yanlie has ever done in his life!
Feng Yanlie's respect for Lin Chen was not fake, but Lin Chen still found something strange on the way in from the gate of Feng's house.
That is, Feng Yanlie seemed to have a hint of sadness on his face.
As for Feng Yufei standing next to him, because of his young age, he hadn't done well in raising his energy, so he could obviously see a few times of restlessness and hesitation on his face, and a few times he seemed hesitant to speak. .
"Recently, has something happened?"
Lin Chen put down his teacup and asked.
Feng Yanlie immediately looked up at Lin Chen, and said eagerly, "Mr. Lin, there is indeed one..."
"Shut up!"
Feng Yufei's words only started at the beginning, and was immediately interrupted by Feng Yanlie without hesitation.
"Well, Mr. Lin, it's just some trivial matters, and I don't need to bother you."
After stopping his grandson, Feng Yanlie turned to look at Lin Chen and explained to him.
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "I'll listen to you."
When he walked in from the gate just now, he also met several people from the Feng family. When those people saw him, they were all surprised at first, and then their eyes burst into surprise, as if they saw a savior .
That's why Lin Chen guessed that the Feng family must have encountered some trouble.
Feng Yanlie originally didn't want to complain to Lin Chen, and didn't want Lin Chen to solve the troubles encountered by Feng's family as soon as he came back, but now that Lin Chen has already asked aloud, Feng Yanlie will naturally not Hid it up.
"It's like this. Just three days ago, a few people came to our Feng family, claiming that they were members of the Huaxia royal family, and they were very arrogant, and asked our Feng family to submit and be loyal to them."
"Of course we refused to agree. That group of people said that we are only given three days to consider. If we don't listen to them, then our Feng family will be expelled from Jiangnan Province..."
"According to the news I inquired, not only our Feng family, but also several other wealthy families in Sucheng, as well as several top wealthy families in the entire Jiangnan Province, have also been threatened in this way. Of course, those families with lower levels are instead There is no such threat, probably because the Huaxia royal family didn't like it."
Feng Yanlie said bitterly.
"Huaxia royal family?"
Lin Chen immediately narrowed his eyes.
He is no stranger to the members of the Huaxia royal family. For example, he met the owner behind the Guangming Club in Kyoto, the Wu family, one of the Huaxia royal families. Lin Chen had also dealt with Wu Rong of the Wu family several times. , Of course, those dealings are not so good for Wurong.
"Yes, they claim to be the Bai family of the Huaxia royal family. Among those few people, a young man named Bai Yuqi is in charge. He is about thirty years old. The few people he brought with him are all very strong. Those, even the strongest of our Feng family, are not their opponents at all."
Feng Yanlie said worriedly.
The Bai family, Bai Yuqi.
When Lin Chen heard this surname, he knew in his heart that the other party probably really came from the Bai family among the Huaxia royal families.
The Bai family actually wanted to snatch the power in Jiangnan, and also wanted the loyalty of the Feng family and other top wealthy families in Jiangnan Province. It seems that this appetite is also great.
"They came here three days ago and gave you more time to think about it?" Lin Chen asked.
Feng Yanlie said quickly: "They gave us three days to think about it, and let us give them an accurate answer before tonight."
After thinking for a while, Feng Yanlie hurriedly explained: "Mr. Lin, I definitely have no intention of serving them! After all, our Feng family has long been loyal to you, and we belong to you, so how could we possibly serve other people? What about the person? Even if the other party is a member of the Huaxia royal family, that won't make us change our minds and betray you!"
"I...the reason why I didn't tell you about this right away is because I didn't want you to solve such a big trouble for our Feng family when you just came to our Feng family. And that Bai family doesn't seem to be easy to mess with, I also don't want to provoke such a powerful enemy for you..."
Lin Chen looked at him and nodded, instead of holding him accountable, he asked, "So, how did you plan to deal with this incident?"
Feng Yanlie said solemnly: "I have already made an agreement with Tang Qingshan, the head of the Tang family, and the heads of several wealthy families in Jiangnan Province who are also threatened. We will join forces to fight against the Bai family!"
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows: "As you said just now, the people around Bai Yuqi are some top powerhouses, even the most powerful powerhouses of the Feng family are not their opponents at all, so what are you going to do?" Join forces to fight?"
"This... This is our territory in Jiangnan Province after all. I think, even if they have many masters in their hands, and we have so many families united, even if we use the crowd tactics to pile up, we must be able to... win?"
Feng Yanlie said hesitantly. His voice became softer as he spoke to the end. Obviously, he himself knew that it was obviously not a wise way to use people to pile it up. It's the only way to choose.
In fact, there is another way, that is to unite so many wealthy families and directly use pistols and other weapons to keep the group of Bai family members in Jiangnan Province forever.
But this method is too risky, and the other party is a member of the Huaxia royal family after all, if he really dies here, then I am afraid that there will be crazy revenge from the Bai family, one of the Huaxia royal families, and there will be no peace in the entire Jiangnan .
