CHAPTER 272: CHAPTER 186 3 LANG, LISTEN TO ME! _2

"What’s going on here?"

At this moment, the waiter at Lamp Flower Tower just peeked outside.

After making sure no one else was coming in, he closed the door again.

By now, the descendants of the five great families were already caught up in loud discussions.

They had no idea what was the logic behind what was happening.

Why did the Wei Family bring so many people, and these people didn’t even seem like they were from the Wei Family?

Moreover, when they arrived, they didn’t seem intent on causing trouble.

Each of them was dressed in quite exquisite attire.

Huh.

Could it be that the Wei Family found some actors from somewhere?

"They’re not actors."

In a corner.

A young man’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and as he spoke, his entire body trembled.

"Then who are they?"

The others’ gazes fell on him.

"They’re the patriarchs of the towns that attacked our five great families before!"

After the young man finished speaking.

His face turned icy cold, yet his back burned hot.

He could no longer control his breathing to stay calm.

Upon hearing this, the others were unable to grasp the young man’s meaning at first.

What do you mean by the families that attacked our towns?

Why does it sound so convoluted?

"Did you eat something bad and now can’t think straight?"

"Yes."

"We don’t know what you mean, can’t you speak clearly?"

The people around debated endlessly, all of them now in a state of utter confusion.

At this point, the young man’s words were unnecessary.

A woman next to him, filled with dread, spoke slowly:

"I recognize them too."

"The first one in line is Hu Chang’an, the patriarch of the Hu Family from Yiliao Town."

"The second one is Bei He, the patriarch of the Bei Family from Woliang Town, and the third is from the Luo Family of Jinghe Town, the fourth from Nan’an Town..."

That she could accurately recognize these over twenty people proved they were not insignificant nobodies.

Could this be true?

So mysterious!

After a pause, she shouted in terror and desperation amidst the silence:

"They are our previous enemies, the ones who crushed our business from those towns!"

"And how do I know? Because I’m from the Zhangsun Family!"

"I was responsible for investigating this issue before!"

She cried out with a sob, and after she finished, the entire first floor was filled with the sound of people gasping.

This is akin to what concept!

It’s as if a rabbit called a meeting and a rabbit brought along a pack of weasels!

The five great families of Xufu Town are the five rabbits!

And then the Wei Family’s rabbit bizarrely dragged these weasels from four towns here!?

This pressure from the bloodline...

Instantly rendered everyone present incapable of even basic functions, leaving just two questions in everyone’s minds.

"How did they get here?"

"And what are they here for?"

Indeed.

How did the people from these four towns actually arrive?

When did they come?

And why are they here?

First of all, it’s not just one or two people, and it’s so late now, no one would travel this late.

Because traveling late at night easily leads to all kinds of issues.

So these people must have come to Xufu Town earlier to rest, that’s certain!

But when exactly did they arrive, and why didn’t we have any prior information?

The way they emerged now, wearing golden robes, they seemed like fearsome ghost soldiers on a march!

And the final question...

What are they here for?

Why do they seem so obedient to orders?

Why would these weasels listen to the arrangement of a little rabbit! That’s fundamentally impossible!

Many of the descendants felt a deep sorrow, shouting endlessly in their hearts, incomprehensible and full of despair.

And just amidst the deathly silence, the young man who spoke earlier slowly opened his mouth again.

He spoke slowly, word by word:

"I just overheard these patriarchs in private conversations, saying that it was Yuchi who invited them over for dinner this time."

"They also said this place, Lamp Flower Tower, is not bad."

"They said President Wei’s hospitality made them feel at least somewhat at ease."

The young man wasn’t lying, others might not know these people from the towns, but he recognized them.

So when these people walked in one by one, he tried to make sense of the situation.

As a result, while others were still clueless, he clearly overheard the patriarchs conversing privately like this.

"Is Yuchi behind all this!"

Thus, the focus instantly shifted back to Yuchi, who just left Lamp Flower Tower.

After a brief round, Yuchi had returned again.

What the young man said was extraordinarily alarming.

Is it really Yuchi who invited them over?
