Chapter 2002 Public Intimidation

Lu Chengwen walked up to the man with the white front teeth: "Senior brother, why didn't you drink?"

The man with the white front teeth said, "I don't drink alcohol."

"You look...a lot thinner than before, and your brows are much softer. You seem to be in a good mood lately."

White Tooth rolled his eyes at him: "Congratulations, groom."

"Engagement, engagement." Lu Chengwen said with a smile, "It's just that the Jiang family has many friends. This ceremony is to let me meet my friends in the martial arts world, so that we can look out for each other when we come and go in the future."

The man with the white front teeth asked, "Have you reached an agreement with Patriarch Xia?"

"Uh...hehehe."

Lu Chengwen leaned closer to whisper something, but Bai Menya recoiled in disgust.

Having no other choice, Bai Fangya snapped open his fan before Lu Chengwen leaned closer.

"You're in the same boat as the Xia family. The four of us are using Tianwu's funds to make money. Their funds are in our hands. If each family doesn't net 100 to 800 million yuan a year, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain? You should also tell your team to make a list, and my fourth uncle and I will coordinate with you. We guarantee the total investment will not be less than 50 billion yuan. What do you think?"

White Tooth closed his fan and picked up his teacup: "May you marry soon."

"Thank you, Brother Bai!"

Lu Chengwen moved between tables, toasting and drinking with the heroes of the martial arts world, becoming sworn brothers with them.

Jiang Shang was very satisfied with Lu Chengwen's performance.

Jiang Yuanzheng leaned close to his ear and said, "Dad, look at Lu Chengwen, isn't he great? What a perfect son-in-law! Our little monkey is so lucky. I mean, with her temper and personality, which wealthy family would dare to mess with her? It's really good that she met Chengwen."

Jiang Shang nodded: "He has an understanding with the Jiang family. Although I didn't tell him in advance, he quickly found out about the game under the table and immediately found his place, performing excellently."

Jiang Yuanzheng said, "There are many things you don't need to tell Lu Chengwen directly. Just give him a little hint, and he'll know what to do. Look, he went ahead to appease those big shots for you. Hey, he needs to be there for the meeting later. That kid is a jack-of-all-trades. With him around, even if there are conflicts, he can mediate. As long as we can get through this and barely reach an agreement, our Jiang family's income will definitely be the most considerable."

Jiang Shang asked, "Could he... also be plotting against us?"

"He wouldn't dare. In our family, he's always so careful, like he's walking on thin ice. He wouldn't do anything out of line. Wouldn't the Jiang family scare him to death?"

Jiang Shang nodded.

"Besides, he's practically a member of the Jiang family now. Someone like Lu Chengwen would never side with outsiders, so don't worry. I trust him on that point."

The entire scene was immersed in a festive and enthusiastic atmosphere.

Suddenly, a voice sounded:

"The four major families are actually drinking and chatting with people from Tianwu. The martial world has really changed. Hahaha..."

Everyone's expression changed.

From a distance, a person can be seen sitting on a rooftop, wearing a black straw hat, a rat-head mask, and leaning on a cane.

All the clinking of glasses and whispers ceased.

Jiang Xiaohu stood up abruptly: "Damn it, it's you again, you bastard!"

Jiang Xiaohu was impulsive and rushed forward instantly, slashing down with his sword.

Clang——!

The rat-headed creature calmly blocked his long sword.

"I came to offer my congratulations on the Jiang family's celebration, but the young master of the Jiang family has turned against me with swords drawn. Isn't that a bit too impolite of me to be a guest?"

Jiang Shang also stood up, his face grim, and said loudly:

"The Jiang family's wedding banquet is for friends and heroes. It's not difficult for you to have a drink at the banquet, but I wonder if you are a friend of the Jiang family, or a hero whose name alone commands respect?"

The rat-headed man laughed heartily: "I wouldn't call myself a friend. I'm just a nobody, let alone a hero."

"Oh? So, is your entrance designed to embarrass the Jiang family today?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Jiang Xiaohu gritted his teeth: "Damn it, draw your knife!"

Jiang Xiaohu changed his move in one strike, and with a single slash, the man vanished.

A rat-headed figure, cloaked and masked, slowly made its way through the entrance courtyard of the Jiang family's residence.

Dozens of experts from the Jiang family had already surrounded him from both sides, but he remained fearless amidst the enemy ranks, continuing to walk unhurriedly.

Jiang Xiaohu wanted to continue the pursuit, but Jiang Yuanshan held him down, looked at him, and shook his head.

The rat's head slowly moved forward.

Jiang Shang smiled and said, "If you wish to drink a cup of wine from the Jiang family, that's fine. The Jiang family welcomes heroes from all over the world; our doors are always open, and we are never stingy. But... do you represent the Heavenly Net, or yourself?"

"Own."

"Oh?"

Jiang Shang said, "To drink the Jiang family's wine, one must either be a friend of the Jiang family, a benefactor of the Jiang family, or a respected hero of the Jiang family. Which one are you?"

"neither."

"Then I'm sorry." Jiang Shang's face turned cold: "Although the Jiang family's wine is not expensive, we will not give a single drop to cowards who hide in fear."

"Hehe, then... how about I exchange a secret for it?"

Jiang Bo tilted his head and said to his subordinate, "Protect Lu Chengwen well."

The subordinate nodded: "Understood."

"A secret? Tell me about it."

"Since it's a secret, of course we can't tell you."

"Hehe, since you're unwilling to tell me, why should I ask you?"

"If we don't offer this drink, the Jiang family will lose face and become a laughing stock in the martial arts world."

Jiang Bo angrily retorted, "If you have the guts, take off your mask before you speak! The Jiang family is upright and honest, we have no secrets or weaknesses that can be used to blackmail us, and we are not afraid of being blackmailed. Just say what you want to say!"

The rat-headed figure stopped in its tracks: "This is... the intention of Patriarch Jiang?"

“That’s right,” Jiang Shang said. “My Jiang family has stood proudly in the martial world for over a hundred years, and no one has ever been able to make the Jiang family lose face with just a few words.”

"Hahaha! Patriarch Jiang, there are some things you probably don't know either."

"Is that so?" Jiang Shang said, "I think you probably can't come up with a good explanation either. Yuanshan, take him down."

Jiang Yuanshan shouted, "Yes!"

Having said that, he charged out and slashed with his long sword, engaging the rat head in battle.

The rat's head was strangely shaped; it barely moved, yet Jiang Yuanshan couldn't hit it.

Every stab was stopped by his cane.

Moreover, he could still speak: "Patriarch Jiang, why are you in such a hurry to make a move? Could it be that you're afraid I'll reveal the Jiang family's shameful secrets and are rushing to kill me to silence me?"

Jiang Yuanshan was forced back by a single move, taking half a step back, and was greatly alarmed!

This person is incredibly powerful!

Lu Chengwen's heart was pounding, and he felt very uneasy about this matter.

Lu Chengwen took two steps back, trying to slip away.

At that moment, Jiang Yuanshu, who was at Jiang Shang's table, suddenly couldn't suppress her nausea and vomited on the ground.

Jiang Shang turned around and asked, "Yuan Shu, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yuanshu panicked: "I...I'm...I'm fine."

"Hahahaha!"

With a flick of his finger, he said, "Your good daughter has done something utterly disgraceful, Jiang Shang!"

Lu Chengwen panicked and suddenly roared, "Don't listen to his nonsense! Attack him together and kill him!"
