Chapter 497: Chapter 0499: Changing the General at the Eleventh Hour

Zhang Shisan, on the phone, gave a straightforward response to Chu Feng’s words, "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Feng turned to face the four women, still with a nervous expression, "I’ll take you all home."

"Shouldn’t we stay here and wait for news?" Fan Xiaoxiao asked.

Chu Feng said, "Staying here, we won’t receive any news. Let’s go back and wait for it. I’ve already asked my Master for help."

Chu Feng left the Wanxiang Mall with Cui Jingyan and the others, returning to the villa.

Once back at the villa, everyone sat in silence, not uttering a word. The villa was eerily quiet.

"Xiao Feng, I’ll make something to eat. Let’s all have something," Qin Mei said.

"I’ll do it," Chu Feng stood up and said.

Qin Mei said, "You rest; I’ll take care of it."

Chu Feng didn’t respond and sat back down on the couch once more.

Chu Feng didn’t want his own issues to affect everyone else’s mood. But at that moment, he truly couldn’t feel happy.

Qin Mei quickly prepared some simple dishes, and just then, Chu Feng received a call from Zhuang Xinyan.

The incident was definitely not something that could be kept secret, although the An Family was trying their best to hide it. That it had remained a secret so far was already quite extraordinary.

"Chu Feng, I’m coming to you," Zhuang Xinyan said urgently.

Chu Feng said, "No need, you wait at home for me. I’ll come to you."

"Xiao Feng, aren’t you eating?" Qin Mei looked at Chu Feng standing up and asked.

Chu Feng said, "I won’t eat at home, you guys go ahead. Don’t go out these next few days, just stay at home."

Qin Mei nodded, "We’ll stay at home for the next couple of days and not go anywhere."

Cui Jingyan said, "I’ve arranged the company’s affairs now. I’ll also stay at home for these two days."

"Sister Tingting and I have no events or arrangements for these two days. We will also stay at home," Fan Xiaoxiao stated.

Chu Feng nodded, "The matter will be resolved soon. Those who hurt us will pay the price."

Cui Jingyan and the others nodded and then accompanied Chu Feng out the door together.

After leaving the house, Chu Feng headed straight to the Zhuang Family. On the way, he received a call from Old Master An.

"Grandpa An, I’m sorry, I failed to protect Rongrong," Chu Feng said with shame.

Old Master An said firmly, "Don’t apologize to me; bring Rongrong back and make everyone who harmed her pay a price."

Chu Feng nodded firmly, "Rest assured, Grandpa An, I won’t let anyone off."

Upon arriving at the Zhuang Family, Chu Feng saw the solemn-looking Zhuang Xinyan.

"Is there any news of Rongrong?" Zhuang Xinyan asked seriously.

Chu Feng said, "No news at all, except for a scapegoat, there are no clues or leads."

Zhuang Xinyan asked, "Do you need my help?"

Chu Feng replied, "My Master is already helping. If you want to help, help me check on the Bai Family’s movements."

Zhuang Xinyan said, "Do you suspect that this incident is related to the Bai Family?"

Chu Feng said, "It’s not suspicion; it’s certain that this is connected to the Bai Family. A dog and its pup couldn’t stir up such a storm without the Bai Family’s support."

Zhuang Xinyan said, "It looks like the Bai Family still intends to make some moves at the World Clan Conference."

At that moment, Zhuang Xinyan’s assistant hurriedly rushed in.

"Chu Feng is one of us, speak freely," Zhuang Xinyan told her assistant.

"Understood, Miss. According to the information we’ve just received, the person presiding over this World Clan Conference for the Bai Family has been changed from Bai Jiahang to Bai Jiarui," Zhuang Xinyan’s assistant reported.

Upon hearing the assistant’s words, both Chu Feng and Zhuang Xinyan furrowed their brows.

Changing commanders just before battle was a big taboo.

Moreover, the Bai Family had made the swap suddenly two days ago, completely disrupting the entire setup.

This news was known not just to Zhuang Xinyan but to the whole of East River, and even the entire Songjiang region.

The other two major clans in Songjiang, upon learning this news, also frowned. They were unsure what the Bai Family had up their sleeves.

"Grandpa, do you think the sudden change of command in the Bai Family indicates a problem with Bai Jiahang?" In an antique-looking house in Songjiang, a young man holding chess pieces asked an octogenarian.

"Grandpa is old. Such matters should be left to you to find answers," the octogenarian answered, placing his chess piece firmly, locking his grandson’s dragon down.

"You’ve let Grandpa win again. If you keep playing like this, don’t come to accompany me anymore," the elder said, despite winning the game, still looking quite upset.

"It’s because your skills in chess are superior, Grandpa. I’m no match for you," the young man said.

"Hmph! Do you think you can fool your grandpa? You clearly could have won just now but deliberately made the wrong move," the elder stated.

After a pause, the elder kindly said, "There’s no problem in letting Grandpa win, but outside, you must not give an inch. Otherwise, if you yield one step, the opponents would dare to encroach upon our family step by step. Just like this time with the Bai Family, we missed one step, and they kept pressing. In this instance with East River, it has given the Bai Family the upper hand. Go investigate the Bai Family’s affairs. If you have the chance, remember not to give even half a step."

"Yes, Grandpa, I understand!"

...

"Chu Feng, what do you think is the reason behind the Bai Family’s sudden change of commander?" Even the goddess Zhuang Xinyan couldn’t understand this abrupt swap.

A cold gleam flashed through Chu Feng’s eyes as he said, "No matter what tricks the Bai Family is playing, one thing I can be sure of now: Rongrong’s disappearance is definitely linked to the Bai Family."

Zhuang Xinyan nodded, "Indeed. The Bai Family changing commanders at such a critical time is too coincidental. What do you plan to do?"

Chu Feng said, "There’s not much to do. The Bai Family has crossed my lines, and I will make them regret it by abandoning my bottom line completely."

Zhuang Xinyan said, "It would be best to make your move at the World Clan Conference, which would buy time for Rongrong."

Chu Feng nodded, "I will. I will wait patiently. As long as the World Clan Conference doesn’t start, Rongrong remains safe."

The matter of An Rongrong ultimately couldn’t be kept secret. However, since the An Family didn’t issue a public statement, no one dared to inquire further.

On the Friday two days later, the East River World Clan Conference officially began. It was the first World Clan Conference in East River’s history, and the whole of Huaxia watched.

"Bai Jiahang has changed the location of the World Clan Conference; it’s not at my East Lake Villa anymore," Zhuang Xinyan told Chu Feng.
