Xue Qianxun spoke while smiling, pouring wine for Ye Tianfan, with no trace of hostility in her eyes.

This not only surprised Ye Tianfan but also left Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing perplexed.

The attitude of the Leng Family's elder, as well as Xue Qianxun's demeanor, was completely out of the ordinary.

Long Yuqing and Qin Ruomeng had both had dealings with the Leng Family before. The Leng Family was known for their direct approach and ruthless tactics, never compromising with enemies, whether in the business world or the underworld. When the Leng Family declared war, they fought to the end, playing only to destroy.

Yet now Leng Xingfeng had miserably died in Jiangzhou City, and the Leng Family elder was so calm. Either Leng Xingfeng wasn't his biological son, or there was something wrong with the Leng Family elder in front of them.

Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing exchanged a glance, confusion apparent in their eyes.

Ye Tianfan picked up the glass of red wine and raised it toward Leng Aozhou in a gesture.

Leng Aozhou, without any pretense, also picked up his glass and glanced at Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing: "Let's raise our glasses together."

As he finished speaking, Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing also raised their glasses simultaneously.

After everyone took a sip of the red wine, each harbored their own thoughts.

What was this?

Were they toasting to his son's death?

Although Leng Aozhou was old, his mind wasn't gone; what medicine was he selling in his gourd?

Ye Tianfan slowly put down his glass of red wine and stared at Leng Aozhou, speaking: "Elder Leng, let's speak straightforwardly, we weren't invited here just for a meal, right?"

Ye Tianfan was forthright, causing Leng Aozhou's expression to pause slightly, his face darkening briefly: "Since Young Master Ye has spoken, I will no longer hide anything. My son died in Jiangzhou City. Don't you all owe this old man an explanation?"

Finally, Leng Aozhou brought up the matter of his son's death.

It seemed that this invitation was indeed extraordinary.

Qin Ruomeng furrowed her brow and spoke: "Leng Xingfeng did die in Jiangzhou City, but his death has nothing to do with our Qin Group."

As soon as Qin Ruomeng finished speaking, Leng Aozhou nodded simultaneously and looked toward Long Yuqing: "I trust my son's death has nothing to do with the Qin Family, but as the underground queen of Jiangzhou City, doesn't Miss Long want to say something?"

Leng Aozhou directly pointed his accusation at Long Yuqing. Compared to the Qin Family, the Long Family was obviously more suspect. Although both families were top enterprises in Jiangzhou City, one operated in the light and the other in the shadows.

The actions of the Qin Group were always exposed to the daylight. Wherever the manager of the Qin Group went, they would attract a large number of reporters for interviews. It wasn't absolutely impossible for someone under the Qin Family to create that bomb incident in front of so many eyes, but it was certainly much harder than for the Long Family.

But Long Yuqing was different; as Jiangzhou City's underground queen, she practically controlled all the underworld forces in Jiangzhou City. For someone desperate to make one or two homemade bombs, it would be a simple matter.

Leng Aozhou had a valid reason to point his finger at Long Yuqing. She certainly had the capability to orchestrate such an event.

"This matter was not done by our Long Family." Long Yuqing's face changed, she coldly replied: "The Long Family acts boldly and takes responsibility for its actions. If it were our Long Family who killed Leng Xingfeng, I, Long Yuqing, would not deny it."

"Really?" Leng Aozhou nodded with a grim face.

"What advantage does killing Leng Xingfeng bring to our Long Family?" Long Yuqing coldly countered.

Leng Aozhou's expression instantly became grave.

Long Yuqing was known for her boldness and taking responsibility in the business world. From what Leng Aozhou understood about her, this woman never engaged in endeavors she wasn't sure of. Furthermore, the Leng and Long families had always traded with each other, with a considerable amount of import-export business involved. Her actions would certainly sever her own maritime trade routes.

Killing Leng Xingfeng would offend the Leng Family.

Long Yuqing would only suffer greatly, without gaining a single advantage.

Of course, the same went for the Qin Family.

"Elder Leng, do you suspect it was us who killed Leng Xingfeng and caused the highway accident?"

Ye Tianfan furrowed his brow. That highway accident had almost cost Long Yuqing her life. Ye Tianfan, despite being extremely annoyed about the accident, couldn't randomly lash out now, considering that the Leng Family chose peace first, and the elder of the Leng Family had martial skills and power surpassing his own.

"An accident?"

Leng Aozhou's eyes flashed with surprise: "Are you saying you encountered an accident while coming here?"

"Yes." Long Yuqing's gaze was evidently unfriendly, she said coldly: "If it hadn't been for Ye Tianfan, I might have died on the highway."

Leng Aozhou composed himself, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Ye Tianfan: "Do you think that accident was orchestrated by the Leng Family?"

"Otherwise?" Ye Tianfan said gravely: "After the accident happened, we intended to go to the nearest hospital, but the highway was blocked by your Leng Family's transport trucks. Was that merely a coincidence?"

Before Ye Tianfan had finished speaking, Qin Ruomeng scoffed, speaking: "I don't believe in coincidences, especially life-threatening ones."

Looking at this couple, playing off each other's words, Leng Aozhou finally could not help but frown. He looked up at Xue Qianxun, speaking seriously: "What's going on?"

Xue Qianxun quickly explained: "The seventh pier received goods today, our delivery vehicles were converging on the seventh pier, via the G30 highway. If there's congestion, it should be there."

Leng Aozhou looked at Ye Tianfan and asked: "Were you on the G30?"

"Yes, the G30." Qin Ruomeng glanced briefly at Leng Aozhou, this old man was pretending to know nothing.

The G30 was the closest route from Jiangzhou City to Dongzhou City. Under normal circumstances, ninety percent of people would choose this route.

Yet the Leng Family's trucks happened to be unloading goods on this highway. Calling it a coincidence was hard to accept.

At that moment, Leng Aozhou's expression suddenly changed, and a surge of mystical energy rushed towards Ye Tianfan.

Ye Tianfan did not expect that one moment Leng Aozhou could be calm as the sea, and the next, suddenly strike. In the rush, Ye Tianfan tried to push back his chair to retreat, but he was a step too late.

Leng Aozhou's mystical energy, tangible as it was, enveloped him entirely in one breath.

Pressure,

Immense pressure.

Ye Tianfan instantly broke into a cold sweat. He had judged earlier that Leng Aozhou's strength surpassed his own, but he hadn't realized the gap was so wide. Leng Aozhou hadn't even moved; his mystical energy alone immobilized him. This level of power could even rival the elder of the Ye Family!
