The Man In Rage novel Chapter 473

At the Lin house.

The pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"Mr Lin, did you hear about what happened yesterday? Apparently some gangster from Jiangdong came and broke Xue Ren-Yang's second son's legs. The old man didn't pursue the matter, and even knelt before that gangster. He even shot his own eldest son's leg as way of apology."

The one who said these words was a thin man in a well fitted suit, and he sounded fairly polite.

This man was the head of the Zhao family in Yanjing, Zhao Hong-Fei.

He was the fourth child in the family, so those familiar with him just called him by his nickname, Zhao Si.

The one sitting in front of him was the head of the Lin family, Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was dressed more casually in white. He had an angular face, and looked authoritative even from a distance.

When he heard Zhao Si say these things, Lin Feng was slightly surprised. "Is that so?"

"Xue Ren-Yang is someone who values his reputation a lot. Since he actually knelt before this man, could it be that this man has some powerful background? Or somebody from a concealed aristocratic family?"

Those who stood on high ground could see further.

Someone in Lin Feng's position would be able to come into contact with many things that most others couldn't.

Lin Feng realized after becoming the head of the Lin family that the ones who were truly powerful were often those unknown concealed aristocratic families.

"Ha, what's this nonsense about concealed aristocratic families? My nephew, Wu-Ji, has already told me that the fellow is just a gangster, and he's been hailed the king by a few tiny cities in Jiangdong. I don't know what's wrong with Xue Ren-Yang either.

How could he kneel before such an unimportant person?" laughed Zhao Si faintly. His words were both mocking and jeering.

Zhao Si had never really thought highly of the Xue family.

After all, the Xue family used to be some third tier family, while the Zhao family had always been in the top tier. Over the past few years, the Xue family rose and even became more powerful than the Zhao family, so it was only natural for Zhao Si to become uncomfortable with this and always treated the Xue family as a rival.

If the Lin family hadn't persuaded him back then, the Zhao family would never have formed an alliance with a family like the Xues.

But Lin Feng just shook his head and guessed, "Perhaps he's gotten hold of a weakness of the Xue family?"

"Alright now, let's not talk about this. As long as it doesn't bother our plans. My family's businesses have been targeted and we've lost quite a bit. Whether we can make up for these losses or not will depend on the underground match happening in 10 days' time."

Zhao Si didn't talk about what happened the day before anymore after Lin Feng said this.

Out of the three up and coming families of Yanjing, the Xue family was the leader in name, but it was clear that the Zhao family respected the Lin family much more.

After all, the Xue family was lacking in experience and history.

The Lin family had been a powerful family in Yanjing for decades, and Lin Feng's father was a famous genius doctor in Yanjing. As a result, many people wanted to be on good terms with the Lins, and even the four influential families didn't dare to offend the Lins if they didn't have to.

After all, there might come a day when they needed a favor from the Lins.

"Old Master Xue, you're here. Do take a seat, Mr Lin has made tea for you already."

Xue Ren-Yang and Ye Fan reached the pavilion at this juncture.

Lin Feng remained seated but Zhao Si got up to welcome Xue Ren-Yang as he smiled widely to show Xue Ren-Yang to his seat.
