After teasing Xu Fan for a while, the old master Guan then turned his gaze towards the elder sitting opposite.
"Old Zhou, where is the person? I have already brought him here for you. If you have any questions, just ask him directly."
"Hmph."
The elder huffed displeasedly and glared at Xu Fan with an attitude of seeking justice for a wrongdoing and said, "Young man, you'd better honestly admit it, was it you who killed my grandson?"
The attitude of old master Guan had made his position clear, and Xu Fan couldn't have misunderstood.
At this moment, feigning innocence, he blinked and then shook his head, saying, "Old sir, I am not quite clear on what you are talking about."
"You!"
Seeing the elder getting red in the neck with anger, Xu Fan shook his head again and said, "In any event, we must talk about evidence, you can't just make someone confess to a crime because you have a gun in your hand, right?"
"Hmph, young man, you've got quite the sharp tongue, haven't you?"
At this point, Xu Fan, in coordination with old master Guan, played a double act with himself, driving the elder to the brink of madness, as if one Buddha ascended to heaven and a second Buddha was born.
Fuming with rage, the elder pointed at Xu Fan and said, "Do you dare to claim it wasn't you who simply exhaled and killed my grandson?"
"..."
With an innocent look, Xu Fan pursed his lips and replied, "Old sir, I see what you mean by my mouth being powerful."
"But I can't accept that. First, I don't have bad breath and second, even if I did, it wouldn't be fatal to your grandson."
"Pfft."
Guan Jianfei couldn't help but laugh at the sight of Xu Fan at this moment.
He thought to himself, this old man is too funny. Even if he wanted to trouble Xu Fan, he should have come up with a more reliable reason, right? Saying someone's breath killed his grandson. Who would believe that...
"Old Zhou, since he wants evidence, let's show him the evidence."
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward; at that moment, a young man with dyed blond hair stood out from behind the elder.
After the elder nodded, the blond-haired man smiled at Xu Fan and then shouted towards the door.
"Aren't you coming in yet?"
It seemed there were others waiting outside, and upon hearing the blond man's call, the door creaked open.
Several people walked in from outside.
Xu Fan looked over as a matter of course, narrowing his eyes.
It was none other than He Shaofeng and the several gunmen he had encountered at the shooting range before.
After that day, Xu Fan had become He Shaofeng's nightmare. Honestly, if it weren't for elder Zhou and the backing of Ke Longxiang today, He Shaofeng wouldn't have dared to show up.
"He Shaofeng, you witnessed everything. Tell us, what exactly happened that day?"
"Alright... okay."
Warily glancing at Xu Fan and calculating that at this distance Xu Fan probably couldn't kill him to silence him, He Shaofeng nervously began to explain.
"That... that day, Jianjun and I came to the Jinling shooting range to have some fun, and then we ran into him."
"This guy, taking advantage of being a local and having good martial skills, wanted to bully Jianjun and me, who were from out of town. An argument started then."
"And then a fight broke out. This guy must have practiced some sort of qigong; he let out a breath, which directly penetrated Jianjun's neck."
"Old Zhou... Old Zhou, this guy is a bully..."
As He Shaofeng finished explaining, the few people with him nodded and chimed in agreement.
Ke Longxiang, after listening, smiled and then said, "Old Guan, now that we have a witness, you should believe that we are not being unreasonable, right?"
"..."
Hearing this, old master Guan nearly cursed in frustration; he absolutely couldn't believe that Xu Fan would do such a thing.
At this moment, he looked straight at Xu Fan.
"Xu Fan, what do you have to say?"
"Heh heh..."
Xu Fan let out a cold laugh.
Now, he himself had seemingly become the party initiating the trouble, and He Shaofeng's statement was likely not unrelated to this blond man.
"Elder Guan, without concrete evidence, can you simply bring a few people over and claim I did it?"
"I could also say that it was they who had a quarrel and started fighting, and then he stabbed this old man's grandson."
"In this world, there is no reasoning that allows one to convict a person based on mere words, not to mention, who knows if their testimonies have been tampered with?"
"You!"
The old man was so angry his face turned red. If it was physical evidence needed, he could produce the shooting range's surveillance video from that time.
However, what the video showed was only his grandson, with a gun, leading people in forcing Xu Fan.
Even if Xu Fan had killed his own grandchild, it would still fall within the scope of legitimate self-defense.
"Old Zhou, look at you, at such an old age, why are you causing such a fuss with a bunch of youngsters?"
"And you, Ke Longxiang, causing such a commotion, do your parents know about this?"
Seeing the other party had no rationale to continue, Elder Guan immediately stood out.
He gestured with his hand and then said, "Alright, from what I see, this is all just a misunderstanding."
"Old Zhou, it pains me that your grandson is dead, but I suggest you investigate this matter thoroughly."
"That's enough."
One always bends the elbow inwards, Elder Guan, at this moment, made a sweeping gesture, ready to send this group back where they came from.
"Guan! Are you sure you want to favor this kid?"
How could he let go of the hatred of his grandson's death so easily?
Seeing Elder Guan was about to favor him to the end, Elder Zhou slammed the table and stood up.
Zhou Jianjun was the most promising among his descendants, and he had always hoped that his precious grandson would one day take over the Zhou Family's enterprise.
Now that he, with white hair, had to send off a person with black hair, such vengeance could not be taken lightly no matter what!
"..."
As Elder Zhou slammed the table, the people around him instantly became restless.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became so tense it felt like it could wring out water.
Seeing that a fight could break out at any moment, Elder Guan sat there majestically, not showing the slightest bit of tension.
He glanced indifferently at Elder Zhou and hummed, "What now? Old Zhou, are you not listening and wanting to play tough with me?"
"Guan, if you give me face, let me kill this kid!"
"If you don't give me face, I'm willing to risk my life today for my grandson's revenge!"
At that point, Elder Zhou was prepared to stake it all.
If Elder Guan did not agree now, he planned to risk his life and take Xu Fan with him.
With tensions high and the atmosphere getting increasingly tense, as Elder Zhou pressured him for a response, Elder Guan laughed and then shook his head.
"Old Zhou, you still have that same hot temper as back in the day, huh?"
With a bang! Suddenly, the smile vanished from Elder Guan's face, and his expression became as ferocious as a wild beast unleashed!
He slammed the table and glared furiously at Elder Zhou.
"Zhou, do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"Let me make it clear today, the life of Xu Fan, I, Guan, am protecting it!"
"I want to see which of you bastards dares to point a gun at my head!"
