When Jiang Junling saw the landline number of his grandfather's old house displayed on the mobile phone screen, he knew that some changes had happened that he was not aware of.
He knew that his premonition was correct. The uneasy and dry-mouthed feeling when danger was approaching was real.
He rarely experienced this feeling.
But, what exactly happened
Could it be that the Qin family stood up to support Fang Yan? Only one person from the Qin family would stand up, and that person wouldn't be able to alarm Grandpa - he was just a child. Standing up and saying a few harsh words for him, or having someone send a few invitations to help him out, that's what a girl should do.
If that were the case, how could Grandpa say such a serious word as 'complete failure'
Other forces intervene
If he had other powers, how come he couldn't even get an invitation before
Swallow Valley!
In just a breath of time, General Ling had thought of all the possibilities.
Finally, the target of the attack was Yanziwu. They did have the strength to do so, but what was their motive for taking action
As he knew, Yanziwu was not Fang Yan's Yanziwu alone, but the Yanziwu of all Yanziwu people.
The results of the General's investigation showed that there were cracks within Yanziwu, and many people did not have much good feelings towards the Fang family.
The most important thing is, Yanziwu has been silent for a hundred years, and just because a few children disrupted it, it was suspected that they were bullied----so the old man stood up and shouted
Grandpa wouldn't explain the reason to him over the phone, and he wouldn't ask any more questions over the phone.
General Ling did not disobey Grandpa's words and said meekly: "Grandpa, I will go back now."
After hanging up the phone, his face had already returned to calm.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him and the phone in his hand, Jiang Junling laughed and said, "Everyone, I have to go first-----"
Wow----
All the guests looked at the general's order in surprise.
They didn't understand why the general wanted to leave at this time. You know, leaving when both sides were on the verge of war meant retreat and failure - or had he realized that he had failed
How could the general's order fail
How could the general's order fail in Yanjing City
Shock, fear, confusion and -- hostility.
The failure of General's Order was equivalent to the loss of their bet. Instead of blaming General's Order for the failure with their expectations, they blamed their opponents for why they wanted to win.
Fang Yan, this wild boy from the countryside, what kind of power does he hide
Jiang Yirong walked over quickly and said unhappily, "Brother, what happened? Why did Grandpa want you to go back at this time? Didn't you explain it to him?"
Jiang Yirong didn't understand the seriousness of the matter and thought that Grandpa had something urgent that needed his brother to go back and deal with. If he explained it to Grandpa, he would not have any objection given his grandfather's preference for his brother.
Jiangjunxing also came over and said with a smile: "Is grandpa addicted to chess again? If so, I advise you to go back quickly - I won't go back to be tortured anyway."
Jiangjunxing handled the situation in a more sophisticated way, and gave a perfect reason to explain why Grandpa wanted Jiangjunling to go back at this time. This was to help Jiangjunling set a stage for him to step down.
General Ling ignored them and walked up to Fang Yan, saying, "Excellent. This round was really wonderful. It wasn't until now -- until I received a call from my grandfather just now that I understood. Ever since you knew about this banquet, you have been planning and arranging it. Even if I ignored you, you would find a reason to cause a conflict between us -- your purpose is to make things worse, to push today's charity dinner to the forefront, and to create a situation where you and I will fight to the death -- only at this time, it is natural for them to stand up, right?"
Fang Yan did not expect that General Ling would be so frank. He smiled, said hello to everyone and turned to leave, or used the general's excuse to perfunctorily deal with the uninformed audience. These were both good ways to get the point across and save face.
Why did he have to expose his shame and admit his failure in public
Is it because he is too proud? Or is it because he still despises himself
Fang Yan looked at Jiang Junling with a playful look in his eyes and said with a smile: "Let me tell you a story."
"I'm all ears."
"When I was eight years old, every time I went to play with Ye Fengsheng, the dog he raised would bark at me, baring its teeth. Several times it almost jumped on me and knocked me down - I was very scared."
Everyone was listening to Fang Yan's story, but why did it sound so simple and shabby
"It was stolen and made into dog meat hot pot. I was sad for several days," Fang Yan said. "I could no longer hear its familiar cry."
"What a good story." General Ling said with a smile. "Goodbye."
"General Order."
The general turned and looked at Fang Yan.
"Don't be sad, you didn't fail." Fang Yan said comfortingly.
"Thank you." The general's eyes were slightly cold. He didn't need anyone's comfort.
"You just got stepped on by me. That's no big deal."
"------"
The general ordered to leave.
General Yi Rong left.
Some who could not bear the humiliation also left with their families.
For some unknown reason, the general did not leave with them.
Thus, Fang Yan became the only focus of the whole audience.
Fang Yan took the wine glass from the waiter who was standing still, raised his glass to everyone, and said, "I know you don't like me, and I don't like you either - but you can rest assured that I am not a man who bears grudges. I can't remember that you stood on the side of the general's order and chased me away just now."
"------"
Everyone is very worried.
After their first contact with Fang Yan, they felt that this guy was really a vengeful person.
Fang Yan drank the champagne in the glass, returned the invitation letter in his hand to Bruce Lee, and said, "Brother Long, I will return this to you first - the favor is too heavy, I can't pay it back right away, I will pay it back slowly."
Bruce Lee did not reach out to take the card, and said, "Since it's given to you, just take it."
Fang Yan smiled and waved his hand, pointing at Ye Fengsheng, Zhu Zidan and the others and said, "There is no order without rules. Rules are rules, and they must be followed. I am not a person who likes to cause trouble. My friend was forced to leave because he didn't have an invitation. How can I stay here alone, drinking wine and looking at beautiful women? I can't do such a thing. You can keep the card, stay and participate in the auction below, and buy a few more items. It will be our apology to our friends in the disaster area."
Hearing Fang Yan's words, Bruce Lee did not delay any longer. He took the card and said, "I will take one for each of you."
"Thank you, Brother Long." Fang Yan and Bruce Lee held hands tightly.
"We all came from Yanziwu," Bruce Lee said. "What you want to do is what I want to do."
Fang Yan and Ye Fengsheng exchanged glances, and the Yanziwu handsome team prepared to make a brilliant exit.
"Mr. Fang Yan, please wait a moment." A clear and sweet female voice came over.
Then there was the clacking sound of high heels tapping on the floor, indicating that the person was walking hurriedly.
The crowd dispersed and a tall woman in a black dress came over.
Behind her, there was a handsome waiter in a black suit, holding a tray covered with white silk, and it was unknown what valuables were inside.
Seeing the woman come out, many people took the initiative to greet her.
"Ms. Luo, you finally came out-----"
"Ms. Luo, long time no see, you are still as charming as ever----"
"Ming'an, hurry up and solve the problem. These young people-----"
------
Some people didn't understand the woman's identity and asked in a low voice to the people around them.
Fang Yan didn't know the woman's background either. Fortunately, Bruce Lee, who was standing beside him, explained in time, "Luo Ming'an, one of the three founders of the Maple Leaf Club. The Luo family has some influence in Yanjing City. I hope she came with good intentions."
"If they were not kind to me, they would have come out long ago." Fang Yan said with a smile.
Li Xiaolong thought so too. If the founder of the Maple Leaf Club had come out earlier and expelled Fang Yan as the organizer, or even went a step further and called the police directly-----
There were still many things Bruce Lee could not figure out, such as why Fang Yan had such a deep conflict with Jiang Junling? Why did Fang Yan sneak into the charity banquet and why did he confront Jiang Junling again? Why did Jiang Junling retreat at the critical moment? What did he mean by those words
He saw everything that went on inside the club, but what was going on outside that he couldn't see
However, Bruce Lee also understood one thing: the Maple Leaf Club helped Fang Yan a lot in winning the General's Order.
As the organizers of the banquet, they did nothing when such a thing happened, which was actually biased.
Then the question arises again, do the people from Maple Leaf Club also stand on Fang Yan's side
While Luo Mingan was greeting familiar friends and elders, he walked towards Fang Yan without slowing down at all.
She took the initiative to extend her tender and white hand to Fang Yan and said, "Hello, Mr. Fang Yan, I am Luo Mingan from the Maple Leaf Club. I am sorry that I am late. It was our staff's negligence that the invitation letters to you and your friends were not sent out in time. We feel deeply sorry for causing you to be misunderstood."
Luo Mingan stepped aside, and the waiter came forward with a tray and said, "Now we will bring the invitations to the gentlemen. I hope you can have a good time in the club."
