Chapter 56: Chapter 54: Zhong Family Order

The crowd that had been waiting to watch a spectacle was dumbfounded.

They never expected that the young man, who seemed insignificant in their eyes, would be from that family.

After a brief silence, the surrounding area erupted with uncontrollable chatter.

”It’s actually the Zhong Family. My goodness, this is a true Yanjing aristocrat family. The Shi Family has really hit a brick wall this time.”

”Last time, it seemed there was also a clueless business family that offended the Zhong Family. Soon after, every industry the family was involved in was found to have issues, and some of their key members ended up in jail with no chance of getting back on their feet.”

”That’s nothing. The old master of the Zhong Family is truly formidable. He’s a bona fide founding hero. Even the top-level leaders treat him with respect.”

...

The voices of discussion reached Shi Zhongtian, and his vision began to darken. He certainly knew what the Zhong Family represented and understood the consequences of offending them, but now, no matter what he said, it seemed a little too late.

”Impossible, this is impossible. How can you be from the Zhong Family? I don’t believe you! What proof do you have!”

After being supported up by the Shi Family people, Shi Zhongtian’s face still bore a look of defeat as he pointed a trembling finger at Xiao Tian, shouting with intense agitation.

He still held a glimmer of hope; as long as Xiao Tian wasn’t from the Zhong Family, as long as he could prove Xiao Tian was lying, their Shi Family could remain the indomitable family it once was!

The onlookers were also engaged in heated discussions. Clearly, the claim that Xiao Tian was from the Zhong Family was hard for them to accept.

Hearing Shi Zhongtian’s words, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but smile coldly.

”You want to see proof, right? Fine, I’ll make it clear to you today!”

As he spoke, Xiao Tian straightforwardly took out a token-like metal piece from his bag, which carried an ancient aura.

”Open your eyes wide and take a good look.”

Xiao Tian indifferently tossed the token into Shi Zhongtian’s arms and then couldn’t be bothered to deal with these guys anymore. Instead, he gave Yu Ningxue a reassuring smile, signaling her not to worry.

Initially, Yu Ningxue felt a bit uneasy, but upon seeing Xiao Tian’s gentle smile, her heart calmed down unexpectedly, as if she believed this man would support her even if the sky fell.

Meanwhile, Shi Zhongtian was left dumbfounded after receiving the token.

The token bore a flamboyantly carved ”Zhong” character surrounded by a ring of flame insignia, giving an impression of extraordinary momentum.

The problem, however, was that Shi Zhongtian didn’t recognize the token!

With the status of the Shi Family, they simply couldn’t connect with such a behemoth like the Zhong Family, so how could he possibly know the significance of this token!

Holding the token, Shi Zhongtian found himself in an awkward position, unable to stand or sit, causing the scene to become increasingly uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Wang Zhongjun also regained consciousness at this time. After listening to the report from his subordinates and taking a look at the token in Shi Zhongtian’s hands, he was almost scared out of his wits.

”This, this is actually the Zhong Family Order!”

Everyone turned their gaze towards the horrified Wang Zhongjun, awaiting his next words.

”What’s the story behind this token? Could it be the identity proof of the Zhong Family from Yanjing?”

The same thought popped up in everyone’s mind, and their gaze towards Xiao Tian immediately changed.

”As far as I know, even within the Zhong Family, only three people are privileged to hold this Zhong Family Order; only each generation’s helm of the Zhong Family can possess this token...”

Following Wang Zhongjun’s explanation, everyone was left shocked. Was this person the eldest young master of the Zhong Family?

You must be kidding, right? Why would the eldest young master of the Zhong Family become a mere policeman!

Shi Zhongtian swayed, and if no one had been supporting him, this family patriarch might have fainted again.

...

”Never thought the eldest young master of the Zhong Family would be present. My Shi Family apologizes for not recognizing you.”

Shi Zhongtian’s face was ashen with defeat. Knowing it was the Zhong Family, he had no more thoughts of resistance.

Xiao Tian did not speak, his expression exceptionally cold.

No one present dared to step out and joke around under such circumstances; this was the Yanjing Zhong Family, crossing them was courting death!

”Our Wang Family apologizes to Young Master Xiao as well.” Wang Zhongjun lowered his head, showing submission.

”Heh.” Xiao Tian didn’t say a word, receiving the Zhong Family Order handed to him by a Shi Family junior and chuckled coldly twice.

What kind of status did Shi Zhongtian and Wang Zhongjun have? Since when had they suffered such grievance?

However, when they heard Xiao Tian’s chuckle, cold sweat broke out all over their bodies.

If Xiao Tian truly harnessed the Zhong Family’s power against them, their families’ fate would undoubtedly be ruined and mindless.

”Eldest Young Master Xiao, my Shi Family knows we were wrong. Please be merciful and spare our Shi Family. We are willing to surrender all our family’s assets to seek Young Master’s forgiveness!”

As he spoke, Shi Zhongtian actually knelt directly, calling out to numerous Shi Family members to kneel alongside him, bowing repeatedly.

Wang Zhongjun followed suit, kneeling straight down.

Everyone present felt some level of pity, yet agreed with the Shi and Zhong Families’ approach.

If they were in their position, they would also act this way to keep their family alive, especially against the Yanjing Zhong Family.

Seeing this, Xiao Tian did not respond but turned his gaze to Yu Ningxue instead.

”Beautiful master, how do you think we should handle them?”

”Ah?” Yu Ningxue was dumbfounded, looking like she hadn’t caught on at all.

”What do you mean handle them?”

”I mean these idiots. Beautiful master, do you want them alive or dead?” Xiao Tian said nonchalantly.

Shi Zhongtian shuddered all over, looking pitifully at Yu Ningxue, his family’s fate in her hands.

”You decide, I don’t know.” Yu Ningxue had no experience in this aspect, so she shook her head.

”Alright, in that case...” Xiao Tian deliberately dragged out his words.

”Shi, as you mentioned earlier, donate all your family assets, whether to children in impoverished mountain areas or Hua Country regions hit by severe natural disasters. Anyway, in half a year, I will send someone to investigate personally. If I find you haven’t acted as I said, or there’s any funny business... hmph!”

”Yes, yes, yes, we guarantee we’ll have the assets donated within half a year as Young Master Xiao instructed, with no tricks involved,” Shi Zhongtian hurriedly assured.

Seeing him so sincere, Xiao Tian couldn’t be bothered to deal with him, figuring the guy wouldn’t dare to pull anything.

”As for everyone here, I hope today’s events won’t spread. What do you all think?”
