Chapter 1776: Don't Meddle in What You Shouldn't

"Do you still have business?" Chen Yu asked, seeing that Xingzi had not left.

"Mr. Chen, I know you have a wife, Ms. Ye," Xingzi asked cautiously.

She was testing Chen Yu's reaction to this matter.

"Right, what about it?" Chen Yu's expression changed slightly, and Xingzi immediately felt the atmosphere around her become stifling; she felt an extreme discomfort in her chest.

The pressure from Chen Yu was like a great Mountain pressing down on her heart, making her feel waves of panic.

Judging from Chen Yu's expression and reaction, he was extremely averse to others prying into his situation, especially regarding his wife.

"Mr. Chen, please do not misunderstand." Xingzi suppressed the discomfort in her heart and murmured, "I have no other intentions; I just heard a little news about your wife. If Mr. Chen does not like it, I will absolutely not pry in the future."

After Xingzi finished speaking, she felt her chest loosen, and the pressure from Chen Yu vanished. She let out a long breath, still feeling lingering fear regarding what had just happened.

It was fortunate that when her father brought this matter up, she had strongly opposed it; otherwise... the consequences would have been truly unthinkable. Judging from Chen Yu's behavior, he did not like others meddling in his wife's affairs.

"Just do your own duty well. Do not meddle in things you shouldn't, otherwise, it will bring a catastrophic disaster upon your entire Beiwu Family," Chen Yu said coldly. "Do you understand?"

"Understand... I understand, Mr. Chen. Please rest assured, I will absolutely never mention this matter again. Sorry... I am very sorry." Xingzi bowed in a panic, apologizing incessantly.

"Alright, if there is nothing else, you may leave. Go back and tell your father that I do not like others paying too much attention to my life," Chen Yu said. "He is a smart man; he knows what to do."

"Yes, Mr. Chen, please rest assured, I will definitely convey your instructions." Xingzi nodded repeatedly, then bowed and backed out.

"Brother Chen, you scared that woman quite a bit. What happened just now?" After Xingzi exited, Zhao Ping walked in.

He had just seen Xingzi so frightened that her legs were trembling as she walked, so he could not help but be a bit curious. He knew this woman's rank was very high, and her temperament and methods were quite extraordinary.

But her performance just now was like that of a woman who had never seen the world, which made Zhao Ping curious: how exactly did Chen Yu scare her like that?

"Nothing, just gave her a warning," Chen Yu smiled faintly. "I hope the Beiwu Family is smart enough; otherwise, the Songyi Family will be their fate."

"Only you could scare them like that," Zhao Ping chuckled. "I am very curious how you acted just now."

"Gave her a look, she can figure it out herself; I don't need to say too much," Chen Yu said. "Besides, I told her to go back and inquire about the Liehun Hall."

"Liehun Hall?" Zhao Ping frowned. "What kind of place is that?"

"Its status is equivalent to Dragon Breath, but they are not under the jurisdiction of anyone here in Fusang. They have always done things according to their own will," Chen Yu said. "I learned about this place inadvertently from Yagyu Heiichi's mouth when I faced him before."

"And Yagyu Heiichi is also one of them, but he is not the strongest existence. Now that I have moved against someone from the Liehun Hall, they will definitely launch a crazy retaliation against me. So, rather than waiting for them to come to my door, it is better to strike first."

"Striking first is correct, but for Yagyu Heiichi's strength to not even be the strongest in that damn Liehun Hall, it makes one feel a bit incredulous." Zhao Ping felt it was unbelievable.

"Although their place is not large in area, you must never hold any contempt for them; otherwise, the scene from seventy years ago will repeat itself." Chen Yu looked at Zhao Ping with a warning gaze.

"I know, Mr. Chen, but the people in Liehun Hall are so strong, are you really going to go and scout it alone?" Zhao Ping was a bit worried.

"Of course I have to go and scout; otherwise, how would I know how much strength they are still hiding?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

At the Beiwu Family, Beiwu Xiong was still drinking tea, but when he heard Xingzi's report, he could not help but be stunned.

"It seems you were right. Chen Yu does not like others prying into his privacy. The matter regarding him and his wife ends here; we will not investigate," Beiwu Xiong said with lingering fear. "It is thanks to your carefulness; otherwise, we would have been too clever by half."

"Yes, Father." Xingzi nodded. She pondered for a moment and said, "And there is another important situation: Chen Yu is going to take action against the Liehun Hall."

"What?" Beiwu Xiong's expression changed drastically. He blurted out, "How does he know of the existence of the Liehun Hall? This is highly classified information here."

"Yagyu Heiichi used the Liehun Hall to threaten him before he died, which is why he knows of this organization's existence," Xingzi frowned deeply. "This is not a good thing. With his personality, he will definitely slaughter everyone there."

"But the members in the Liehun Hall, none of them are stronger than Yagyu Heiichi. Yagyu only ranked fifth inside. Is Chen Yu very confident he can resolve the matter there?"

"Father... once strength reaches his level, numbers actually have no meaning. It is just like ants; whether one comes or a group comes, it makes no difference to one person," Xingzi sighed slightly. "I cannot make a judgment on this matter. The existence of the Liehun Hall is the greatest secret of the higher-ups."

"If... we reveal the matter regarding the Liehun Hall to Chen Yu, and the higher-ups find out, it will definitely not be a good thing for us."

"Your concerns are correct. If the higher-ups know it was us who leaked this secret, our Beiwu Family is in trouble." Beiwu Xiong's brows were locked in a frown, and he fell into deep thought.

"However, he did not force it. I feel he wants an attitude from us. If we are more proactive, it will definitely be good for our future," Xingzi thought for a moment and said.

"That's right, such a choice is a bit difficult," Beiwu Xiong gave a bitter smile. He murmured, "We are now like someone with a rope around our necks, unable to advance or retreat."

"What should we do?" Xingzi looked at Beiwu Xiong. Since it concerned the future direction of the family, she had to be cautious.

But she trusted her father's choice, because his choices had never been wrong.

This was also the reason why the Beiwu Family had gone further and further in recent decades, because an excellent decision-maker has calm thinking and judgment; he will not allow himself to make mistakes, which is crucial for a family.
