Chapter 332 - Big News in Jiang Nian (2/2)

“Grandpa, maybe things are not as bad as you think.”

“You might not have noticed it, but I found out that he had protected Little Nine whenever they were together. His attention had always been on Little Nine either at the party last night or today’s banquet. I have noticed subtle eye contact between the two and it was obvious that Chen Fan had spared the Ji Family because Little Nine wanted him to.”

“What you are getting at is…” Su Yanghao looked to Su Xiao, both hands shaking with excitement.

“Yes, we have been focusing mainly on us and ignored Chen Fan’s feelings and what he cared about. It was evident that he cared most about Little Nine and he might have come to Wu Zhou because of Little Nine. Therefore, the key to solving our problem is to win over Little Nine, making sure she is on our side.” Su Xiao said tenderly.

Everyone nodded in agreement after pondering on Su Xiao’s words for a while.

Su Yanghao looked at Fang Mingde and his wife, willing them to put in their two cents. Su Susu put on a smile and said: “Third Uncle, I am not too familiar with Xiao Fan, but I knew he had fallen head over heels in love with Little Nine. They have been good friends ever since childhood and made a promise to each other to go to the same University, and they did.”

After she said that, she paused a second and then said with suspicion: “I wager that even the undoing of the Sheng family was somehow linked to the love compet.i.tion between Sheng Ronghua’s son and Chen Fan over Xiao Qiong.”

Although it was just Su Susu’s suspicion, no one seemed to have doubted it.

“Yes, I have heard about what had happened to the Sheng family. I have never thought that there were more than what met the eye. Chen Fan was the Head Sergeant of the Cang Dragon unit, a billionaire in Hong Kong and if he wanted to topple the Sheng family, he would only need to make a request to Li Wuchen. Killing everyone in the Sheng family seemed unnecessary unless his love interest is involved.” Su Zhengde suddenly slapped his head as realization dawned upon him.

“A powerful young man would often turn into a dangerous beast in the name of love.” Su Yanghao said.

After he had said that, he turned around to look at Su Xiao. “You are the closest to Little Nine, so it would fall upon you to help the family mend the relations.h.i.+p with Little Nine. If Little Nine forgives us, so would Chen Fan.”

“Plus, from today onward, Little Nine will be our family lord. Treat her as you would treat me.” Su Yanghao announced heavily.

“Yes.” Everyone nodded their consent.

The birthday banquet was over, but people had just started to feel the implication of what had happened during the banquet.

Although everyone was warned to keep their lips sealed about what they saw, it was impossible to expect the hundred or so guests would keep the secret.

It wasn’t long before rumors started to spread.

“Have you heard? Chen Fan is the General Major of the Cang Dragon Unit.”

“What are you talking about? Who is Chen Fan?”

“He was the one who wrecked the Sheng family. This time he brought the Ji and the Nin Family to their knees.”

“Really? fill me in please!”

Such conversations were carried out all over the Jin City, Wu Zhou, Jiang Zhou City. Even some well-connected elites in Zhong Hai heard of the incident in pa.s.sing.

Compared to the names such as Grandmaster or the Heaven roll, the t.i.tle of General Major in Cang Dragon was more relatable to ordinary people. Therefore, it was most prevalent in the rumors.

“A General Major less than twenty years old? That’s unheard of!”

“The Chen family is incredibly powerful! No wonder even Gao Tianmin was removed from his position. I think they are soon going to claim supremacy in Jin City.”

“I have heard that even Boss Lou’s secretary had joined the other families, but he was over trumped by someone even more powerful at the banquet. The Chen family must have deep connections in the government.”

Everyone in Jinlin City was impressed by Chen Fan.

Zhou Qinya had heard the story in pa.s.sing, and it stirred up a mix of complicated feelings.

She had never thought that Chen Fan was not only the Master Chen of JiangBei but also a General Major in the military. A General Major less than twenty years old sounded like the stuff of urban legends.

The Chen family members were elated by the news.

Before they learned the news, only Chen Huaian knew Chen Fan’s involvement in the military. He was a cautious old man and therefore he didn’t disclose that information with his family, fearing the Chen family would grow content. Therefore, when the other family members learned of Chen Fan’s military rank, they were caught by surprise.

Chen Guoguo frolicked joyfully on the sidewalk in front of her house and announced to all of her neighbors that her cousin was a general.

A wave of complicated feelings rose inside of Chen Ning as he watched everything unfold.

Chen Fan was no longer the little brother that he used to be. He had grown into a large tree that could provide shade and shelter to his family.

Meanwhile, Chen fan was facing a much bigger problem. He had to explain to Fang Qiong about Chen Beixuan, about the t.i.tle of General Major in Cang Dragon and about the Heaven roll.
