Situ Jingjie drove back to the old residence, dust-covered and weary. As soon as he entered the main gate, he was stunned by the scene inside!
The Old Master's birthday banquet had unexpectedly ended early, and the guests had left in disarray, bidding their farewells.
Currently, only the closest family members remained to take care of the Old Master.
Situ Zhenjiang was completely infuriated at this moment.
Today, he suffered an extraordinary humiliation. As a proud Commander of stationed troops, on his birthday, an ungrateful granddaughter brought a wild man into the house, personally sabotaged his carefully orchestrated plans, and even got him in trouble with the He Family!
Although the behavior of He Zhaohui's family of three before leaving was somewhat unusual, making Situ Zhenjiang unable to fully understand it, it didn't change the fact that their family's alliance with the He Family was completely blown, with no chance of future collaboration!
A perfectly matched family alliance ending like this was something Situ Zhenjiang was unwilling and unable to accept!
At this moment, suffering from a high blood pressure attack, Situ Zhenjiang lay in bed, teetering on the brink, with his heart beating at an extremely dangerous rate.
The two sons kept comforting him from the side, trying to ease his mind, while a military doctor from the medical team was administering an IV to lower his blood pressure.
At this time, Situ Jingjie, burdened with heavy thoughts, just came in, and the entire family, upon seeing him, was even more infuriated!
Situ Yutao stepped forward suddenly, questioned harshly, "Jingjie, why are you just getting back? What have you been doing all this time? You can't even handle such a small task properly, and now look at how you've upset your grandpa!"
"Dad, what on earth happened? What did Situ Yan do, bringing Jiang Feng back to our home?" Situ Jingjie didn't ask about his grandfather's condition first but was instead concerned about Jiang Feng's actions upon arriving at the house.
After all, even though he wasn't there to see it firsthand, he knew all this was caused by Jiang Feng!
"You have the nerve to ask! Situ Yan brought that wild man back, causing a scene, not only beating He Jinrong but also enraging He Zhaohui and his wife to the point of leaving, making the engagement completely fall through, and your grandpa fell ill in his rage!" Situ Yutao said coldly.
"Dad, don't get mad... in my view, Jiang Feng driving the He Family away might not necessarily be a bad thing for us..." Confronted by his glowering father, Situ Jingjie suddenly suggested the shocking notion, contemplatively speaking.
The moment these words came out, the entire family was startled!
"What did you say? Have you lost your mind?" Situ Yutao frowned and glared at his son!
After a moment's thought, Situ Jingjie's expression was somewhat complex: "Dad, I'm not crazy. I'm telling the truth! I now even feel that Jiang Feng's importance to us far surpasses that of the He Family..."
Listening to Situ Jingjie's increasingly outrageous statements, the entire family was furious, thinking Situ Jingjie was speaking nonsense in a fit of madness!
However, the bedridden Situ Zhenjiang suddenly turned his head, staring at Situ Jingjie and asked, "Jingjie, what exactly is going on?"
At that moment, he finally felt something was amiss, the abnormal behavior of the He Family and his eldest grandson's uncharacteristically reserved manner made Situ Zhenjiang realize that Jiang Feng might not be as simple as he had thought...
"Grandpa, Dad, Uncle, have you heard about the string of major events happening recently in Binhai..."
Situ Jingjie then proceeded to recount to the family everything Mu Jianmin had told him about the actions Jiang Feng had taken.
Soon, the entire family's faces changed once again, each person's face filled with shock and disbelief!
"That's how it is!"
After Situ Jingjie finished speaking, he took a deep breath: "Mu Jianmin told me this out of kindness, to give us a well-intentioned warning..."
"That Jiang Feng, deeply concealed, is far more than what we see, the entire Binhai operations department now treats him with utmost respect, and the various bigwigs in both the business and underworld circles also hold him in high regard. Mu Jianmin doesn't want our family, as Binhai's stationed troops, to become sworn enemies with Jiang Feng..."
The Situ Family looked at each other, unable to process this information all at once—could Jiang Feng really be as outrageous as Situ Jingjie described?
"No wonder that Jiang Feng dares to speak so arrogantly, saying he wouldn't be afraid even if Grandpa mobilized all the stationed troops under his command or even battleships; he really does have the confidence..."
Situ Yutao murmured: "But Jingjie, you say his martial skills are top-notch, consecutively defeating the former four great experts of Binhai, even vanquishing the Yan Family, Han Family, and others—how is that possible? What level has his strength reached?"
"I'm not clear on that either, and probably no one in Binhai knows, including the operations department!"
Situ Jingjie stated solemnly: "According to Mu Jianmin, if we must define him, he would be a master among masters!"
The entire family fell silent instantly.
As a military family, everyone in the Situ Family was aware of the exalted position martial artists held in China and how precious a powerful martial artist was!
Needless to say, many seed soldiers in the military came from martial artist backgrounds, and the bigwigs in the Beijing General Military Department, the military gods, were all terrifying martial artists!
So, they inherently held martial artists in immense reverence!
If Jiang Feng was just an ordinary martial artist, that would be one thing, but he happens to be a possibly unparalleled and mysterious martial artist in Binhai City, at a mere twenty-something, defeating the historical four great masters of Binhai, with strength crushing above Maestro level—this is truly astounding!
"Could it be that I really misjudged him?" Situ Zhenjiang, at this moment, was too preoccupied to be angry, feeling somewhat bewildered, and murmured as he stared at the ceiling.
"There's one more thing I forgot to mention; you should be aware..."
Situ Jingjie suddenly added, "This is something Mu Jianmin privately told me—recently, this Jiang Feng, along with Chu Feifei of the Chu Group, created a major uproar at the Huangfu Family in the Provincial City..."
"They practically waltzed in and strolled out! Arrogantly burst in and haughtily walked down the mountain without the Huangfu Family even daring to make a peep, and even Huangfu's eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Yan, had to kneel and apologize in public..."
"This signifies what, I don't think I need to elaborate..."
Gasp!!!
The Situ Family members were even more speechless upon hearing this news!
A major uproar at the Huangfu Family?
Just imagining the significance of these five words reveals how overwhelming it is.
And given the Huangfu Family's status in the Provincial City, with Huangfu Qinglong not daring to oppress Jiang Feng, the intricacies here certainly are worth exploring with patience...
"Now I finally understand why the He Family left with their tails between their legs, and why Xiao Yan would take a liking to this Jiang Feng..." Qi Qiuge said with a bitter smile.
The entire family remained silent, each lost in their own thoughts.
And Situ Zhenjiang, at this time, was also deeply mired in self-blame, filled with bitterness.
His rigid stubbornness, his headstrong ways, not only hurt his granddaughter but may have also cost him a grandson-in-law with value beyond anyone else!
If the Situ Family could bring in a grandson-in-law like Jiang Feng, it would indeed be far better than ingratiating themselves with the He Family, but alas, in a moment of foolishness, he forsook the root for the branch, lost the major for the minor...
