Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Pressuring Zhao Songqing!

Yang Tianpeng was taken aback as he looked toward the group of people.

"Who are you?"

An elderly man with a commanding presence walked in.

"The Zhao Family, Zhao Jianlong."

"Hu Family, Hu Pingchang."

"The wealthiest man in Qin state, Qin Dingbang."

The three individuals introduced themselves one after another.

Yang Tianpeng’s expression darkened.

Although he had never met these people, he was well aware of their names.

These three were all influential local magnates within Qin state.

However, in the eyes of Yang Tianpeng, they amounted to nothing.

"What, you want to meddle in the affairs of Punishment Hall?"

"Could it be you think I wouldn’t dare to deal with you?" Qin Dingbang spoke up.

"Of course you would," Yang Tianpeng retorted.

"Your Punishment Hall has always acted arrogantly and recklessly. Is there anything you wouldn’t dare to do?"

"You’re seeking death!" Yang Tianpeng’s eyes narrowed sharply.

Qin Dingbang had the audacity to insult him to his face.

Despite Yang Tianpeng’s scolding, Qin Dingbang remained completely unflustered.

"You are entirely free to start killing," Qin Dingbang said.

"After all, we are no match for you."

"But before coming today, we have made ample preparations; everything Special Envoy Yang does here will be broadcast live over the internet."

"Punishment Hall’s envoy thinks very highly of himself, don’t you? Well, I will make sure you become thoroughly famous."

Yang Tianpeng sneered.

"Do you think I would fear your tactics?"

"I could kill all of you, accuse you of challenging Punishment Hall, and who would dare talk back or blame me?"

Qin Dingbang said indifferently,

"Ordinary people, indeed, would not dare to say anything."

"However, that doesn’t mean no one would dare."

After speaking, he calmly took out his phone and dialed a number.

A moment later, the call connected.

Qin Dingbang handed the phone over to Yang Tianpeng.

"Governor Qi would like a word with you."

Qi Guochang?

Yang Tianpeng’s face changed.

If there was anyone in Qin state whom he found troublesome, it was undoubtedly Qi Guochang.

If Qi Guochang were to make an issue out of this, then Yang Tianpeng would find himself in quite the predicament.

After all, Qi Guochang had authority over a whole province, far surpassing his own as a special envoy.

No wonder Qin Dingbang and the others dared to confront him.

Yang Tianpeng gave Qin Dingbang a cold glance, then took the phone.

"Governor Qi..."

Qi Guochang’s voice sounded on the other end:

"Special Envoy Yang, you have just arrived in my Qin state, and you’re already causing unrest. Isn’t this going a bit too far?"

"Governor Qi, it’s Zhou Yu. He kidnapped Zhao Songqing of the Zhao Family from Capital City, and I was compelled to take action..."

Yang Tianpeng hadn’t finished his sentence when Qi Guochang interrupted him.

"I will discuss this matter with the Zhao Family. You can withdraw now."

Yang Tianpeng’s face grew ugly.

Qi Guochang’s tone utterly disregarded him, and yet, he was completely helpless to respond.

He could only forcefully suppress his rage.

"Alright, I will give Governor Qi this much respect..."

"Hmm."

Qi Guochang responded with a perfunctory hum and hung up straightaway.

At that moment, Yang Tianpeng’s face became as dark as could be.

This phone call had firmly resolved him to help the Liu Family restructure the power landscape of Qin state. Then, he would see if Qi Guochang would still be so arrogant!

Qin Dingbang and the others appeared calm on the surface, but honestly, they were also feeling quite nervous when they came.

Because they weren’t certain to what extent Qing Guochang would go to support Zhou Yu.

Now it seemed that Governor Qi, for the sake of Zhou Yu, had actually pushed Yang Tianpeng to this extent.

What kind of relationship would make Governor Qi protect Zhou Yu like this?

Not to mention anyone else, even if Qin Dingbang and his whole family knelt at the gates of Governor Qi’s residence for seven days and seven nights, they wouldn’t receive such treatment.

Zhou Yu was truly incomprehensible.

At this moment, Yang Tianpeng’s gaze toward Zhou Yu was filled with icy coldness.

"You’re lucky to be protected by Qi Guochang today, consider yourself fortunate."

"Let’s go."

Yang Tianpeng waved his hand, and Qiu Baiwan and Liu Zongsen helped Zhao Songqing to leave.

But Zhou Yu stepped forward, blocking Yang Tianpeng and the others.

Zhou Yu’s move shocked Zhao Jianlong and the rest.

For heaven’s sake, Yang Tianpeng was about to leave, why would he dare to block them?

Yang Tianpeng’s fist also clenched instantly.

"Do you truly believe I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"

Zhou Yu showed no fear, his voice cold:

"You’re free to leave; I won’t stop you. But if you want to take Zhao Songqing with you, you’ll need to let him answer one question for me."

Yang Tianpeng was itching with hatred but didn’t strike out, instead turning to look at Zhao Songqing.

Zhao Songqing could tell with that phone call from Qi Guochang, Yang Tianpeng wouldn’t dare to do anything to Zhou Yu today. If Zhou Yu didn’t relent, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave.

"Speak," Zhao Songqing was forced to yield.

Zhou Yu spoke slowly,

"The Lin Family of Yancheng has been covertly targeted all this time. I’ve found out that the Letian Association is behind it, but behind the Letian Association is the directive from a major power in Capital City. Is that major power your Zhao Family from Capital City?"

Zhao Songqing, with his head lowered, had eyes filled with resentment.

"Correct, the Letian Association was established by our Capital City’s Zhao Family, left in Qin state to deal with the Lin Family."

"Furthermore, I can tell you that it’s not just the Zhao Family that wants to tackle the Lin Family of Yancheng."

"In Capital City and Haizhou, many major powers don’t wish to see the Lin Family of Yancheng rise."

"Once they learn that the Lin Family of Yancheng are on the rise, even more experts will come."

Having said this, Zhao Songqing looked coldly at Zhou Yu and the others behind him with a sneer.

"You people following this kid are on a path to your demise."

"Think well on what consequences you will face," he said.

After that, Zhao Songqing and the others left the club.

Zhou Yu fell into silence.

He had always thought it was just one power targeting the Lin Family of Yancheng, but according to Zhao Songqing, many major powers were out to get them.

What exactly had the Lin Family of Yancheng done to provoke so many major powers?

Zhou Yu became increasingly convinced that the Lin Family of Yancheng was not simple.

At that time, Qin Dingbang asked with a puzzled face,

"What was that young master going on about just now?"

"The Lin Family of Yancheng? What’s happened with the Lin Family of Yancheng?"
