Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 850: Chapter 849: The Liu Family Intervenes

”Huh?” Li Chunhua was stunned, wondering if this status was even lower than a friend’s?

Zhao Ping’an couldn’t help but smile, the man spoke with great respect indeed.

The man was well aware that even the Family Heads of the Six Great Families wouldn’t dare to claim they were Zhao Ping’an’s friends. What right did they have to say such a thing?

”This... This...” Li Chunhua’s eyes widened in disbelief. Were these well-dressed individuals, who were clearly of no ordinary status, really working for Zhao Ping’an? Was she dreaming?

”You... You all work for my brother?” Zhao Pingshun asked curiously.

”Of course!” everyone nodded in unison, and the leading man said, ”Not just us, there are many others who work for Mr. Zhao!”

”Wow, that’s so cool!” Zhao Pingshun excitedly grabbed Zhao Ping’an’s arm, ”Brother, these are all your colleagues. When will you dress like this too? I see people working in big companies on TV, and they all wear clothes like these. You would definitely look cool too!”

”I’ll wear it for you next time,” Zhao Ping’an affectionately patted Zhao Pingshun’s little head, ”I’ll make a suit for you next time too.”

”Okay!” Zhao Pingshun replied happily.

Li Chunhua hadn’t recovered from her shock when she quietly pulled Zhao Ping’an aside, whispering, ”Ping’an, these... are these all your colleagues? What... What exactly do you do?”

”We haven’t done much, we just do legitimate business,” Zhao Ping’an replied with a smile.

”It’s not... It’s not that you’ve done something... something you shouldn’t, right?” Li Chunhua wore a face full of concern. She was worried her son had taken the wrong path.

”I really haven’t...” Zhao Ping’an found it hard to explain.

Just then, the jovial laughter of Fu Dewei came from outside, ”Sister-in-law, how are you now?”

Zhao Ping’an’s family all knew Fu Dewei, especially Li Chunhua, who was particularly grateful to him. Fu Dewei’s act of taking in Zhao Ping’an had always left her immensely grateful.

”Master Foo...” Li Chunhua quickly tried to get out of bed.

Fu Dewei walked over, saying with a smile, ”Hey, sister-in-law, don’t get up. Lie down, lie down!”

Li Chunhua struggled to rise but couldn’t, and could only awkwardly smile, ”Master Foo, I am really sorry, my injury...”

”It’s okay, I know all about it,” Fu Dewei replied with a smile.

”Master!” Zhao Ping’an moved a chair over, ”Please sit.”

”You kid, not bad at all!” Fu Dewei sat down laughing heartily. He knew his disciple had soared to great heights. But the fact that he remained so respectful towards him made him very satisfied that his choice was correct.

”Master Foo, I’m sorry to trouble you,” Li Chunhua said guiltily, ”Ah, my body has let me down, causing trouble for Master Foo!”

”What are you talking about? You’re in the hospital, I definitely had to come see you,” Fu Dewei chuckled, ”Besides, I can’t really help with anything. With all these big business owners here, just tell them whatever you need!”

”Huh?” Li Chunhua took another look around at the people there and lowered her voice, ”Master Foo, these people... they say they are Ping’an’s colleagues... what do they do exactly...”

”They’re all quite impressive,” Fu Dewei laughed. ”They’re big businessmen from the city, whom you can see on television. Yuanwang Corporation, Dengfeng Construction, Tianhao Enterprises, they own them all!”

”What!?” Li Chunhua’s eyes nearly popped out of her head. These were some of the most well-known big enterprises in Liuan City. These people had come from these enterprises? They really hadn’t gone astray!

After a moment of shock, Li Chunhua hurriedly said, ”Master Foo, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, how could Ping’an have met such important people...”

”Sister-in-law, you’re mistaken,” Fu Dewei laughed. ”I don’t know any of these important people, it’s all thanks to Ping’an that I got to meet them.”

”This...” Li Chunhua was completely dumbfounded. What exactly was going on?

”Sister-in-law, just focus on recovering from your illness. Once you’re better, you’ll understand the situation,” Fu Dewei smiled. ”But rest assured, Ping’an’s friends are all fine!”

Reassured by Fu Dewei’s guarantee, Li Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief. She might not trust others, but she absolutely believed in this benefactor who had once helped them.

Fu Dewei chatted with Li Chunhua for a few more sentences before standing up to leave.

Zhao Ping’an accompanied him to the hallway, where Fu Dewei spoke in a low voice, ”Ping’an, there’s something I need to tell you.”

”Just give your orders, Master,” Zhao Ping’an said respectfully.

With a somber expression, Fu Dewei sighed and said in a low voice, ”Changtian Martial Arts Hall has come to propose a marriage to our hall.”

Zhao Ping’an was slightly stunned, then realized what he meant, frowning. ”Is it still that Li Siyuan?”

”Who else?” Fu Dewei spoke gravely. ”They’ve brought the dowry. I don’t want to accept it, but Changtian Martial Arts Hall brought someone with them...”

”Who?” Zhao Ping’an frowned. In Liuan City, there weren’t many people whom Fu Dewei would be wary of.

”Liu Changnian from the Liu Family of the Provincial Capital,” Fu Dewei paused, then said in a low voice, ”The Liu Family is the head of the Ten Great Families in the provincial capital, and Liu Shuangcan is the top expert among the Ten Great Masters of Hanxi Province. This Liu Changnian, he is the nephew of Liu Shuangcan. Changtian Martial Arts Hall, by doing this, has made it clear that they have the Liu Family’s support!”

”Liu Family of the Provincial Capital!?” Zhao Ping’an furrowed his brow. Su Yang had previously mentioned that he would soon meet with the Ten Great Families of the provincial capital, but he hadn’t expected the Liu Family to make a move before they did.

Logically, with such a big commotion in Liuan City, those powerful families must have received news and known that it was Su Yang’s doing. Under these circumstances, how could they dare to meddle in the affairs of Liuan City? What were they thinking?

Li Siyuan of Changtian Martial Arts Hall had publicly insulted Dewei Martial Arts Hall and also Fu Dewei’s daughter. At this time, allowing Li Siyuan to propose to Foo Qinglan, if Fu Dewei agreed, it would ruin his face.

Fu Dewei was Zhao Ping’an’s master, and to put it plainly, this matter was not targeting Fu Dewei; it was actually targeting Zhao Ping’an.

With the Liu Family backing Changtian Martial Arts Hall, it all boiled down to the Liu Family provoking Zhao Ping’an.

Zhao Ping’an had Su Yang behind him. The Liu Family provoking Zhao Ping’an was essentially provoking Su Yang.

But where on earth did the Liu Family get the courage? Having seen the Qi Family being taken down by Su Yang, how could the Liu Family dare to provoke him at this time? Were they asking for trouble?

After pondering for a while, Zhao Ping’an said in a low voice, ”Master, there’s no need to rush this matter. Put it off for now. I’ll report to Master Su tomorrow!”
