Chapter 194: Chapter 192: The Chess Game of the Xu Family’s Old Master (seeking recommendation votes) _1

Xu Zhenhua looked at the ceiling as his eyes welled up with tears!

He was excited! Truly, and thoroughly excited!

In recent days, he had nearly despaired! He could hear all the conversations around him, but he could only listen, unable to express himself! The feeling was unbearably distressing!

It was an absolute desolation!

Xu Zhenhua had even felt his life slowly ebbing away, bit by bit. He was sure that, without intervention, he’d quietly die before long.

He was almost beginning to lose hope for his entire life, thoroughly losing hope.

He knew about the surgery that the doctor had performed on him, and he knew about what his wife had told him. He was aware of everything.

He even felt an acute sense of turmoil within his body, as if countless sharp knives were piercing through his organs!

This kind of pain made him wish for death. But now, surprisingly, circumstances had taken a turn. The man he once looked down upon had pulled him back from the brink of death, giving him a second chance at life! Couldn’t he be excited?

"Master Ren... thank you... thank you..." Xu Zhenhua’s lips moved. He was so full of gratitude that he didn’t know how to express it.

Ren Feifan did not respond, but instead turned to Xu Shihan and said, "I have saved him. Now, I will leave the rest to you. I, as an outsider, should not intrude on your reunion."

Upon hearing the term ’outsider’, Mother Xu felt a burning pain in her heart. Just a few hours ago, she was the one who had called him that. Now, it was Ren Feifan who was returning the label.

She felt a tangible distance from this young man. Perhaps, they were indeed not worthy of him.

Ren Feifan was preparing to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned back and returned to Xu Zhenhua’s bedside. He asked, "I’m curious, who did you offend to warrant such treatment?"

Although this was the Xu family’s personal matter, Ren Feifan felt he needed to intervene as it could potentially concern Xu Shihan’s safety.

As soon as Xu Zhenhua heard the question, his face turned pale with rage. He clenched his fists and blamed, "It’s all because of that beast, Zhou Chenglong!"

Ren Feifan was taken aback. He had considered countless possibilities, but had never expected Zhou Chenglong.

Wait, Zhou Chenglong did not seem to have any conflict with the Xu family. He was polite at the last auction. Could it be because I am Xu Shihan’s husband?

Unlikely, didn’t Zhou Chenglong consider himself? Although there was a disparity between the Xu and Zhou families, a famished camel was still larger than a horse; when enraged, the Xu family were not something the Zhou family could resist.

Regaining his composure, Ren Feifan felt that something about the situation was off. He asked again, "What conflicts exist between the Zhou and Xu family that led Zhou Chenglong to do this?"

Xu Zhenhua glanced at Old Qu, Xu Shihan and others, and gave a light cough. "Everyone, please step out. I have a few words to say to Master Ren."

As the head of the family, Xu Zhenhua had unquestioned authority. Once he spoke, everyone silently obeyed and left the room.

Once everyone had left, Ren Feifan closed the door and asked directly, "Now that everyone is gone, you can talk now."

Xu Zhenhua nodded. "The reason why Zhou Chenglong did this to me was entirely because of that bracelet. Do you remember it, the one you called for at the auction."

Ren Feifan was caught off guard; it was unexpected that his indirect influence led to Xu Zhenhua’s mishap. The course of events in this world could indeed be baffling.

"Don’t you still have a bracelet? Didn’t it protect you?" Ren Feifan crossed his arms and looked at Xu Zhenhua with interest.

"I didn’t wear it..."

At the next second, Xu Zhenhua’s voice abruptly stopped. He stared wide-eyed at Master Ren who was wearing a faint smile.

"Master Ren, what do you mean? I don’t understand how I could have a bracelet." Xu Zhenhua laughed nervously, not daring to meet Ren Feifan’s eyes.

"Smack!"

Ren Feifan slapped him across the face!

"It seems I really shouldn’t have saved someone like you!"

Ren Feifan had expected Xu Zhenhua to admit to swapping the bracelets, but he was flabbergasted to find that even now, Xu Zhenhua was still being hypocritical!

This slap sent Xu Zhenhua reeling, sobering him up.

It was clear that Ren Feifan knew about the bracelet swap!

Whilst unconscious, he had considered a lot of things, even doubting Ren Feifan’s involvement in the bracelet fiasco. Now it was clear, the bracelet indeed had something to do with Ren Feifan.

"Why aren’t you speaking?" Ren Feifan said coldly.

Xu Zhenhua’s face turned crimson. Lowering his head, he sighed, "It seems the heavens are indeed all-seeing and you have discovered my dishonesty. My greed is to blame."

Ren Feifan scoffed, turned away and said, "This isn’t your greed, it’s you bringing disaster upon yourself. Sooner or later you’ll ruin the entire Xu family and harm Xu Shihan!"

Xu Zhenhua didn’t know what to say at that moment. Ren Feifan said everything that needed to be said, he didn’t have the face to say any more.

Seeing Xu Zhenhua kept quiet, Ren Feifan directly asked: "What else did you say to Zhou Chenglong?"

"I mentioned the Ye family. When Zhou Chenglong asked me about the origin of the bracelet, I had to tell him that Ye Qingcheng gave this to us. But I guess Zhou Chenglong probably already thought of you, because I did too."

Ren Feifan was not surprised at all. How could the Ye family auction off such item, any sane person would have thought of me.

It seemed that the secret he guarded was already out.

However, Ren Feifan didn’t necessarily think of this as a bad thing because judging from his knowledge about Zhou Chenglong, the man would seek him out sooner rather than later.

Since he was coming, let’s keep Zhou Chenglong around for good, better than having him causing worry!

Once he understood the situation, Ren Feifan had no intention to idle talk with Xu Zhenhua. He turned around and prepared to leave.

"I have one last question."

Xu Zhenhua stopped Ren Feifan.

"Speak." Ren Feifan said coldly.

"Do you also have a marriage agreement?"

This was the biggest mystery that perplexed Xu Zhenhua. He wanted to know if Ren Feifan was the chosen one his grandfather spoke of!

Ren Feifan paused his steps, turned around and stared at Xu Zhenhua for a dozen seconds, finally admitting: "Yes."

He didn’t understand why Xu Zhenhua asked this question. Did he think that his marriage agreement would affect Xu Shihan?

Whatever the reason, Ren Feifan’s face suddenly changed the next moment when he heard a shocking revelation:

"Your marriage agreement is not about a proper marriage, but about a concubine, isn’t it?"

Xu Zhenhua’s words echoed in Ren Feifan’s mind. He couldn’t remain calm.

Ren Feifan could guess why Xu Zhenhua would ask him that.

Originally, Xu Shihan was the one involved in the marriage agreement! It was also part of his mission when he came to Lin City.

It was the old man’s assignment.

Now, the old man’s identity was clear. He must be Xu Shihan’s grandfather, who has been missing for many years.

Although everything seems clear to Ren Feifan, there are still a lot of unanswered questions.

How did Xu Shihan’s grandfather end up on Purgatory Island?

What was he doing there?

And why did he stay beside that person for three years?

...

With these doubts, Ren Feifan left. The door of the ward was also closed.

The moment the door closed, Xu Zhenhua suddenly burst out laughing like a madman.

He admired the old man more and more. The old man could grasp the fate of the human world so accurately!

Xu Shihan and Ren Feifan have met...

A piece of marriage agreement directly changed the course of the Xu family history!

Because Ren Feifan is the chosen one in the old man’s words!

That man has the potential to reach the very top of Huaxia’s power hierarchy!

If Xu Shihan can secure this man, then the Xu’s family in Jiangnan Province will rise completely!

The old man made such a good move! A brilliant strategic move!

Ha ha...
