Chapter 199: This Is Impossible
"My Lord! We have already surrounded the Feng Family, but..."
When Shen Yu appeared outside the Feng Family gates, Liang Ruyue had already led the Black-Clad Guard to surround the Feng Family. It was just that the Feng Family's strength was too great, and he dared not make a move.
To put it bluntly, if not for Shen Yu backing him, the moment Liang Ruyue dared to send men to surround the Feng Family, the Feng Family would have dispatched experts to ambush and kill them.
Beside Shen Yu, Liang Ruyue moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but seemed not to dare.
"Say whatever you want to say!"
"Yes, My Lord. Since you found evidence regarding the Feng Family at the Xinghai Gang, why not choose a surprise attack?"
"Letting your subordinate lead the Black-Clad Guard to surround them, the time wasted in going back and forth is enough for the Feng Family to wipe away some evidence. My Lord, will this not..."
"Because I want them to take action. If they don't move, how will they voluntarily expose themselves?"
"The Feng Family acts in secrecy; even a surprise attack might not uncover anything. It is better to let them fall into disarray themselves!"
From the very beginning, Shen Yu's Super Perception had completely enveloped the entire Feng Family; their every move was under his control.
The Feng Family was deeply rooted in Anzhou City and even the entire Xichuan. As soon as the matter of Shen Yu dealing with the Feng Family came out, the Feng Family received the news immediately.
Never underestimate the power of a family, especially a powerful family like the Feng Family. The power formed by mobilizing an entire family is not to be trifled with.
As long as they want to, they can dispose of everything completely at the fastest speed. No matter how elite the Black-Clad Guard is, they won't be able to find a single trace in a short while.
No matter how arrogant you, Shen Yu, are, you can't force the Feng Family to let you search back and forth, right? Don't we have any face to keep!
It's just that they never expected that throughout the entire process, there was always a pair of eyes quietly watching them, watching everything they did.
"Your subordinate understands. My Lord is beating the grass to startle the snake, waiting for them to reveal their own flaws!"
"Go knock on the door!"
"Yes, My Lord!" As soon as Shen Yu gave the order, Liang Ruyue personally stepped forward to prepare to knock. If they didn't open it, he would kick it open himself.
He had long wanted to kick the doors of these high-ranking, wealthy households; he had finally caught an opportunity.
However, reality did not give Liang Ruyue the chance. The moment Shen Yu appeared, the Feng Family took action, and the main gate opened quickly.
The Feng Family Patriarch, Feng Mochen, personally led the Feng Family Elders and a group of experts out to welcome them, at least giving enough face on the surface.
"Lord Shen, I did not know of your visit; my Feng Family is honored by your presence. But with such a grand display, I wonder what it means?"
"Patriarch Feng, why pretend to be ignorant? You should have received the news long ago as to why I am here!"
"This, Lord Shen, you must not listen to the slander of villains!" Slowly walking to the front of Shen Yu, Feng Mochen's demeanor and attitude were extremely respectful, leaving no room for criticism.
However, at this moment, a monstrous wave was rising in his heart. He knew this young man before him was strong; rumors from the Jianghu had long reached his ears, but he had not expected him to be this strong.
On the surface, the young man before him looked just like an ordinary, weak scholar, seemingly completely harmless.
Yet, standing beside him, Feng Mochen could not perceive the other party's existence, as if this young man before him were far away at the edge of the sky, ethereal and untouchable.
"Unfathomable!" In an instant, this thought appeared in his mind.
This feeling had never even occurred with their Feng Family Ancestor.
At this moment, he even felt that as long as this young man before him was willing, he could take down even their Feng Family Ancestor in an instant.
Once this absurd thought appeared in his mind, it began to linger. He desperately wanted to tell himself that this was all just an illusion.
But an expert's intuition told him that all of this might be true; the feeling was not wrong.
And against an expert of this level, the advantage of numbers had lost all meaning; going up would be no different from serving oneself on a platter.
In other words, as long as Shen Yu was willing, he could wipe out their Feng Family at any time and place. This point alone made him tremble, and his attitude became even more respectful.
"Lord Shen, please see clearly. What kind of people are the Xinghai Gang? They are a group of local ruffians who exploit the common people, force women into prostitution, and stop at nothing."
"Usually, my Feng Family cannot bear to watch and often intervenes to protect the people, so we are often at odds with the Xinghai Gang."
"It is only natural that the Xinghai Gang secretly harbors hatred for my Feng Family, but they have never had the chance, nor have they dared to make a move against my Feng Family!"
Sighing deeply, Feng Mochen even wore a look of lingering fear on his face.
"But this time, I did not expect them to be so despicable as to frame my Feng Family and splash such dirty water on us."
"For so many years, my Feng Family's conduct has been well-known. Lord Shen, my Feng Family is, after all, a family that accumulates virtue; how can I allow such villains to slander my Feng Family's reputation at will!"
"Lord Shen has always been discerning; you must not let such villains succeed, or it will chill the hearts of all the wise people in the world!"
"So, you mean the Xinghai Gang slandered you?"
"It is absolutely slander! My Feng Family walks straight and sits upright; if we haven't done it, we haven't done it!"
Setting his face, Feng Mochen revealed a resolute expression, as if he were a warrior who could not be subdued by force. Combined with his heroic appearance, he didn't look like a treacherous villain at all.
At this moment, a phrase surfaced in Shen Yu's mind: "Great treachery looks like loyalty!"
Of this group of hypocrites in the Feng Family, this one is the most hateful. Saying the most beautiful words, doing the most cruel things, and still calling yourselves a family that accumulates virtue—you have the nerve to say it.
"Fine. In that case, let the Black-Clad Guard search, so as to prove your Feng Family's innocence!"
"Lord Shen, this is not appropriate, is it? My Feng Family is, after all, a family of status. If we are to be searched based on a few words of slander, how can my Feng Family stand in the Jianghu!"
"Since your Feng Family walks straight and sits upright, you should not be afraid. Besides, this is the best way to prove your Feng Family's innocence."
"Patriarch Feng, you aren't feeling guilty and afraid, are you?"
"Who says I am feeling guilty? It's just..." Lowering his head, Feng Mochen hesitated for a moment before asking, "Lord Shen, what if you find nothing?"
"If I find nothing, I, Shen Yu, will personally apologize to you. How about that?"
"This, how could that be! Lord Shen, just being able to prove my Feng Family's innocence is enough!"
Hearing Shen Yu's words, Feng Mochen waved his hands hurriedly, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, since Lord Shen has said so, my Feng Family cannot be ungrateful."
"Patriarch, you must not! Patriarch, if we do this, where will our Feng Family's face be!" As soon as Feng Mochen agreed, the Feng Family Elders all advised him in unison.
"Shut up, all of you! Whatever happens, I, Feng Mochen, will take full responsibility!" Patting his chest, at this moment, Feng Mochen was indescribably heroic.
"My Feng Family can withstand an investigation; what is there to be afraid of!"
"Patriarch, think twice!"
"Yes, Patriarch, you absolutely must not, you absolutely must not!"
"Enough, my mind is made up. Lord Shen, please, my entire Feng Family will absolutely cooperate!"
"Good, good, Family Head Feng is truly magnanimous. The Feng Family is indeed worthy of being the premier aristocratic family in our Xichuan; this sense of responsibility alone is rare in this world!"
"Rest assured, Family Head Feng. If nothing is found, this official will give you an explanation!"
He took a deep look at this group of people from the Feng Family; singing in harmony and cooperating so tacitly, how many times had they rehearsed this?
With acting skills like these, it would be a pity if you all didn't become officials!
"Since that is the case, then many thanks, Lord Shen!"
With a faint smile, Feng Mochen followed behind Shen Yu and exchanged glances with the Elders of the Feng Family, a trace of mockery showing in each of their eyes—let's see how you clean up this mess later!
