Chapter 498: Chapter 0500: Clan Conference [Part 1]

Bai Jiahang changed the original location, from East Lake Villa to a private estate owned by the Jin Family.

"Could this matter also be related to the Bai Family?" Chu Feng said after hearing Zhuang Xinyan’s words, the chill in his eyes grew thicker.

"Chu Feng, we need to leave now. If we delay any further, we won’t make it," Zhuang Xinyan said from beside him.

Chu Feng said, "Alright! Let’s set off."

Chu Feng and Zhuang Xinyan took Zhuang Xinyan’s car and quickly arrived at the Jin Family’s private estate.

The East River Clan Assembly was the biggest event in East River. Every prominent individual in East River had received an invitation.

Even some nouveau riches who hadn’t received invitations offered a million just to buy one.

However, those who had received invitations were not short of money. Who would give up their status and position in East River for a mere million?

Moreover, this assembly was indeed decisive in determining the fate and direction of East River’s future. Who wouldn’t want to know some insider information beforehand to be prepared?

The arrival of Chu Feng and Zhuang Xinyan undoubtedly attracted everyone’s attention.

The Zhuang Family was the only candidate this time at the Clan Assembly. Everyone wanted to come up and greet Zhuang Xinyan, not for anything else, just to make an impression. After all, if the Zhuang Family became the ruling clan, they would have absolute authority in East River.

At that time, even if the Zhuang Family inadvertently dropped something, it would be enough for them for a lifetime.

But at such a time, how could they possibly approach Zhuang Xinyan? No matter who it was, they were kept beyond a human wall by Zhuang Xinyan’s bodyguards.

"The government is also taking this very seriously this time. When coming here, I saw a large number of police cars outside," Zhuang Xinyan said to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng said, "I know you’re reminding me not to act rashly, don’t worry, I won’t."

Zhuang Xinyan nodded and said, "I’m relieved to hear you say that."

Chu Feng and Zhuang Xinyan entered the only building within the estate.

Although many people had received invitations, no more than twenty people ultimately made it inside.

"Welcome, welcome! We meet again. How come it’s not the three of you traveling together this time? I heard from my brother that the last time the three of you were together, it was truly picturesque," Bai Jiarui said enthusiastically as he approached Chu Feng and Zhuang Xinyan. It seemed he intended to reopen Chu Feng’s old wounds.

Chu Feng said, "Is that so? I too wish it continued to be picturesque, but some people just can’t stand to see others doing well."

Bai Jiarui said, "I also heard about Miss An being kidnapped, but I must declare in advance. This matter truly has nothing to do with our Bai Family, so I hope, Brother Chu, that you won’t hold us accountable for this."

Chu Feng sneered and said, "Is that so? Then would you dare to stake your life, the lives of your entire family, and swear an oath to prove that this matter has nothing to do with your Bai Family?"

Chu Feng’s gaze was intense and pressing, Bai Jiarui looked into Chu Feng’s eyes and felt an inexplicable shiver.

After a full five seconds, Bai Jiarui laughed and said, "Brother Chu, you still love to joke like this."

Chu Feng said, "I’m not joking, I’m serious. If you want to clarify that this matter has nothing to do with your Bai Family, then take an oath right here in front of all these people."

Bai Jiarui had started to regret taking the initiative to greet them. What was this about?

Having to swear a poisonous oath in front of everyone, such an oath was made. No matter what, in the end, it would be he who suffered and he who lost face.

Bai Jiarui said with a smile, "Brother Chu, we are not children anymore. Playing this game of making oaths, isn’t it a bit too childish."

Chu Feng said earnestly, "I don’t think this game is childish. If you want to prove your innocence, then make the oath. Otherwise, I will really think this matter is related to the Bai Family, or even that you did it."

Bai Jiarui’s eyes turned slightly stern as he said, "Brother Chu, I don’t find such jokes funny at all. Please don’t make such jokes. Moreover, today is the day of the East River Family Conference, and I hope Brother Chu can restrain yourself a bit and not delay everyone’s time."

Chu Feng said, "I have never thought of wasting everyone’s time. You were the one who started this."

Bai Jiarui was left speechless by Chu Feng; he didn’t know what to say because he indeed had initiated the topic.

"Brother Chu, I still need to finish my speech. I will have to take my leave," Bai Jiarui thought it best to leave. If Chu Feng continued to hold onto him, he would be put in a very passive position.

The people in the room watched Bai Jiarui take the initiative to leave with great interest. They all knew that today’s Family Conference might not go so smoothly.

After leaving Chu Feng, Bai Jiarui’s expression turned completely gloomy. He realized he had made another mistake in underestimating Chu Feng. He even felt he shouldn’t have invited Chu Feng at all.

"Young Master Chu, I heard that this time the Bai Family made a sudden change, possibly in connection with the Jin Family," Wu Di, dressed in a suit, approached Chu Feng and said.

Chu Feng said, "I know."

Wu Di said, "Young Master Chu, do you need my help with anything? Whether it’s dealing with the Jin Family or finding Sister An."

Chu Feng said, "No need, I will handle it myself. I don’t need others to act for me in this matter."

Wu Di said, "Then I won’t disturb Young Master Chu."

"Chu Feng, do you think Bai Jiarui did this?" Zhuang Xinyan asked.

Chu Feng said, "I’m not sure, I just tested Bai Jiarui, but I didn’t discover anything. However, I think he can’t be separated from this matter."

Zhuang Xinyan said, "What do you plan to do later?"

Chu Feng said, "Either he confesses voluntarily, or I’ll make him confess."

Having heard Chu Feng’s words, Zhuang Xinyan’s expression grew slightly stern as she said, "Chu Feng, you had better not resort to violence here. If this really isn’t Bai Jiarui’s doing, you’re gambling with both the An Family’s and your own future, which is way too risky."

Bai Jiarui is the spokesperson for the Bai Family. If Chu Feng were to beat him up for no reason, it would be tantamount to slapping the Bai Family in the face. The Bai Family could never tolerate that, and their wrath would be something neither Chu Feng nor the An Family could withstand.

Chu Feng said, "I have my limits; I will make him tell the truth."

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Ten minutes later, Bai Jiarui arrived on the podium, smiling and reminding everyone to pay attention as he was about to start speaking.

Upon hearing Bai Jiarui’s words, everyone in the room put down their glasses and delicacies and turned their gaze to Bai Jiarui, curious to see how this critical meeting that would decide the fate of East River would start and end.
