On the left side, they seemed to be the aggressors. One of them bore a slight resemblance to the deceased Song Gang, and among them, there were also two blond, blue-eyed individuals.
The people on the right were all too familiar to him.
Chang Fei, Shen Si, and a few other recognizable faces.
"Is this at headquarters?"
The joy on Chen Fan’s face faded, replaced by a look of surprise.
How did this end up at the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association Headquarters?
It was clear that Chang Fei’s expression was very angry, his fists clenched, saying something.
Shen Si and the others beside him, although angry, showed more signs of panic on their faces.
"Could it be that they are from the Song Family?"
Chen Fan suddenly thought of something.
Among the group on the left, the two blond, blue-eyed guys were probably from the Revival Association of Feng Country?
Facts proved his guess.
Someone in the Song Family team took out a white bag, a silhouette appeared from the bag, and Chen Fan recognized the face.
The other person showed a look of deep shame.
Shen Si and the others were completely stunned, their mouths agape, unable to utter a word.
But the next moment, they chose to deny it.
The Song Family members were grinding their teeth in anger. At this moment, an elder with silver hair in the Song Family team, seemingly impatient, made a sudden move.
In an instant, everyone from the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association present was seriously injured, flying backwards like broken sacks. Even Chang Fei and Shen Si hit the wall and fell to the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
The silver-haired elder walked up to Shen Si, looking at him like he was an ant, his lips moved slightly,
"Don’t think that just because you are someone important, I wouldn’t dare kill you. If you anger me, even Shi Tao coming wouldn’t stop me from killing you. Now, I’ll give you three breaths’ time to tell me the whereabouts of that brat surnamed Chen, or I’ll show you that there are things far worse than death."
In the hall, the elder’s powerful voice echoed.
Just as he was about to continue watching, a dizzy spell came over him. His body was reminding him that his spiritual power was depleted.
Chen Fan hurriedly interrupted the foresight, his face becoming extremely serious.
Clearly, the situation had already turned for the worse.
The Song Family had captured one of the martial artists and learned the whole story from them, continually asking where Chen Fan was.
It seemed they did not know he was still in Anshan City, instead thinking that he had gone to headquarters.
Thus followed the subsequent events.
"As expected, I was too merciful back then."
Understanding the sequence of events, Chen Fan sighed.
At that time, he had considered silencing them to eliminate future problems.
But that thought had been dismissed immediately.
After all, what would have been the point of saving them, only to kill them later? It would have been redundant.
Now, the Song Family had found a breakthrough, realizing everything was his doing, and stormed into headquarters in fury.
Among the Song Family members that came, there was one person who gave him a very special feeling and was undoubtedly strong, instantly incapacitating everyone present.
In his words, he did not even regard the Celestial Human Realm’s Shi Tao.
"It seems that guy is a Celestial Realm Martial Artist, and not just an ordinary Celestial Realm one."
Chen Fan muttered to himself, a trace of worry between his brows.
Chairman Shi might be in danger.
There were only two Celestial Realm Martial Artists at headquarters in total.
Elder Wang was with him now, meaning the only one at headquarters was Chairman Shi.
Although he had just broken through to the Celestial Realm, facing a Celestial Realm Martial Artist from a noble family would likely put him at a disadvantage.
No, considering the words of that Song Family Celestial Realm elder, even Shi Tao coming would not deter him. Could it be that Chairman Shi wasn’t at headquarters at that time?
If he were, given his personality, he wouldn’t have shown up only after his subordinates were injured. He should have appeared the moment the other side made a move.
"Damn!"
Chen Fan shuddered.
He suddenly realized why the other side had only brought one Celestial Realm Martial Artist. They must have known Chairman Shi wasn’t at the association, leaving only Elder Wang behind. That elder was there just in case of Elder Wang’s presence.
But now, Elder Wang wasn’t at headquarters, leaving it with no Celestial Realm Martial Artist!
"Fortunately, I saw all this ahead of time."
Chen Fan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
If he hadn’t used the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill, there would have been no Celestial Realm Martial Artist at the association tomorrow, leaving Chairman Chang and others’ lives at the mercy of the enemy.
Even though the Song Family would consider the consequences and might not kill them, it was still a guess. If they really wanted to kill, who could stop them?
Revenge afterward wouldn’t bring the dead back.
"This is urgent; I need to contact Chairman Shen and inform him of this, and also find out who that Song Family Celestial Realm Martial Artist is and his strength."
Thinking of this, Chen Fan immediately took out his phone and called Shen Si.
Before long, the call was answered, and Shen Si’s tense voice came through, "Brother Chen, why are you calling so late? Did something happen? Anshan City hasn’t fallen, has it?
Sigh, I told you the scale of this beast tide is extraordinary. Even major cities might not withstand it, let alone your small city. Never mind that now, how are you doing, are you hurt?"
Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh at the long string of his words.
"Chairman Shen, I’m calling so late because something very important has come up, not because Anshan City has fallen."
"Anshan City hasn’t fallen?"
Shen Si was taken aback.
"Chairman Shen, this isn’t the time to discuss this. What I’m about to say is very important, please listen carefully."
"Alright, alright, I’m listening."
Shen Si had never seen Chen Fan so serious, and quickly paid attention.
"Chairman Shen, the Song Family’s matter has been exposed."
"What!"
Chen Fan’s first sentence nearly scared Shen Si out of his wits.
He exclaimed, then quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "Brother Chen, you mean Song Gang and those Feng Country people’s matter?"
"What else could it be?" Chen Fan asked.
"But this..." Shen Si couldn’t believe it, "How is that possible? We’ve all been at headquarters since we returned, keeping our mouths shut. Yesterday, the Song Family came to see me, asking if I knew the perpetrator. Could I have given something away?"
"But that’s impossible?"
He pondered, "Based on their reaction, they didn’t suspect me. Could their acting have been so good they even fooled me?"
"Chairman Shen, the problem lies with someone named Jiang Tao."
"Jiang Tao!"
Shen Si’s eyes almost popped out, stuttering, "How, how could it be? Jiang Tao didn’t seem like that kind of person. I’ve known him for years, he wouldn’t betray friends.
And tonight, I gathered everyone to emphasize the seriousness of this matter. Jiang Tao didn’t seem guilty at all."
"Did he spill the beans after leaving?"
Shen Si kept talking, clearly panicking.
"Chairman Shen, calm down."
Chen Fan shouted.
Shen Si shuddered, regaining some composure.
"Jiang Tao might have betrayed us, but likely not voluntarily. Check if he’s still at headquarters."
Chen Fan said, not holding out much hope inside.
