Chapter 685: Chapter 685: The Involvement is a Bit Extensive
Zuo Zongsheng is none other than the son of Martial Arts Association President, Zuo Chunqiu.
With a face full of arrogance, Zuo Zongsheng looked at Ye Guichen as if he was looking at an ant.
Before Ye Guichen could answer, Zuo Zongsheng had already come to the woman’s side, gently helping her up with a warm smile on his face: "Mrs. Zeng, my father has given me full authority to handle Director Zeng’s matter. Now that the murderer is here, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
The woman was full of gratitude and nodded continuously: "Thank you, President Zuo. Thank you, President Zuo."
Zuo Zongsheng hummed in acknowledgment, instructing someone to help the woman to the side before turning his head and squinting at Ye Guichen: "Your name is Ye Guichen, right? Do you know where this is?"
Ye Guichen asked in return: "What, you plan to keep me here?"
Zuo Zongsheng replied: "Not just keep you here. I also need you to kneel and kowtow to Director Zeng. Go now."
Regardless of whether Ye Guichen agreed or not, Zuo Zongsheng pointed at the portrait of Zeng Chang.
Ye Guichen crossed his arms and said playfully: "What if I don’t go?"
"I’m afraid you don’t have a choice." Zuo Zongsheng wasn’t in a hurry, but as soon as he spoke, people had already surrounded Ye Guichen, seemingly ready to make a move.
A simple confrontation, the other members of the Martial Arts Association were full of fervor.
Many people present knew that Zuo Chunqiu had a very powerful son who had completely inherited Zuo Chunqiu’s dominance.
But most of them had never seen him.
Seeing him today, he truly lived up to his reputation.
Lv Liang was especially excited, unable to contain his admiration, he quickly stepped forward, coming to Zuo Zongsheng: "President Zuo? I am Lv Liang from Nandu Martial Arts Hall. I’ve admired you for a long time. I didn’t expect you to personally handle Director Zeng’s matter. It is truly an honor for me."
That servile look immediately drew a series of side glances.
Zuo Zongsheng remained expressionless, glancing at Lv Liang: "Master Lu? Haha, I heard this matter is related to you? If it wasn’t for you, Director Zeng wouldn’t have gotten involved with this Ye person and wouldn’t have been killed?"
His eyes were like torches, piercing Lv Liang’s heart, causing him to shiver.
"President Zuo, you, you’re kidding. I, I didn’t expect it to end like this either." Lv Liang quickly waved his hand, subconsciously stepping back two steps.
Zuo Zongsheng didn’t seem to care about someone like Lv Liang, a small-timer, and sneered, looking at Ye Guichen again: "You only get one chance. Kneel, kowtow, admit your mistake, and then commit suicide to apologize to Director Zeng. This is your best choice. If I have to do it myself, the outcome will not be what you want!"
Ye Guichen sighed, feeling somewhat helpless: "It seems, your Martial Arts Association is just like this, you haven’t even found the real murderer, and you’ve already decided it’s me! Fine, since you want to handle it yourself, I’d like to see what my outcome will be if you do it yourself!"
Ye Guichen realized that no one here would listen to his explanations.
So, no need to explain anymore.
Zuo Zongsheng didn’t expect Ye Guichen to still dare to be stubborn at this moment. He laughed wildly: "Good, since that’s the case..."
He raised his right hand. In the large hall, hundreds of martial artists were already tense, waiting for Zuo Zongsheng’s order to make their move on Ye Guichen.
Shang Wen Dong had also gripped the Judge’s pen in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.
At this moment, chaotic footsteps came from outside again: "Who dares to make a move!"
Speaking of which, Duan Nanye, with over thirty Dragon Teeth members, had already rushed in.
Quickly blocking in front of Ye Guichen, Duan Nanye’s gaze quickly fell on Zuo Zongsheng: "Whoever dares to touch Brother Ye is opposing us Dragon Teeth!"
Zuo Zongsheng laughed: "Oh, I didn’t expect this kid to be connected to Dragon Teeth? Hmph, do you think you can protect him with just a few dozen people?"
Unperturbed, Zuo Zongsheng stared directly at Duan Nanye, lowering his voice: "You can’t get involved in this. If you’re smart, you’d better leave now! Don’t look for trouble!"
Duan Nanye’s face turned red.
He knew the Martial Arts Association was not easy to provoke, but after Wang Ying called him, he knew he must show a stance to Ye Guichen this time.
Last time, because of Yu Nong’s matter, Duan Nanye felt there was already a gap between him and Ye Guichen.
But after all, behind Yu Nong stood the Kyoto Qin Family, and possibly even higher-level figures. Although he was the head of Dragon Teeth, he didn’t dare to provoke easily.
This time was different.
Even though the Martial Arts Association was strong, it was just powerful. Duan Nanye felt he could still wrestle with them.
Moreover, the Jinling Prince Mansion was also involved in this matter. Even if there was trouble, the Jinling Prince Mansion would back him up. What was there to be afraid of?
Thinking so, Duan Nanye didn’t hesitate and brought his Dragon Teeth men over.
"Brother Ye, whoever dares to touch you today must first ask me whether I agree or not!" Duan Nanye said heroically.
Ye Guichen smiled wryly: "Thank you."
He didn’t expect his matter to drag Duan Nanye and Dragon Teeth into it.
Although confident that if he wanted to leave, nobody in the Martial Arts Association could stop him, Duan Nanye coming meant he owed a favor.
Feeling troubled, but unable to drive them away.
Just as the stalemate continued, more people rushed in from outside.
Wang Chaoyang brought dozens of experts from the Jinling Prince Mansion, rushing in again.
"Whoever dares to touch Mr. Ye today is against our Jinling Prince Mansion!" Quickly surrounding Ye Guichen as well.
The experts from the Jinling Prince Mansion glared at the Martial Arts Association people.
The people of the Martial Arts Association had somewhat ugly expressions.
They never expected that Ye Guichen had such considerable backing, even drawing Jinling Prince Mansion and Dragon Teeth into this.
Zuo Zongsheng’s face twitched slightly.
He had no fear of a small Dragon Teeth, but if Dragon Teeth and the Jinling Prince Mansion joined forces and a fight broke out, he wouldn’t gain any advantage.
"What, does the Jinling Prince Mansion intend to harbor the murderer?" Zuo Zongsheng coldly looked at Wang Chaoyang, wanting to force him back first.
Wang Chaoyang returned the gaze: "This must be President Zuo of the Martial Arts Association? Sorry, this is not about harboring a murderer. Since the matter is not clear yet, you’ve already assumed Mr. Ye is the killer. Isn’t that a bit too hasty?"
"Hasty?" Zuo Zongsheng sneered: "With so many witnesses, can there still be a mistake?"
"I don’t know about mistakes, but if you dare to touch Mr. Ye today, we at Jinling Prince Mansion will accompany you!" Wang Chaoyang also stepped in front of Ye Guichen, nodding respectfully: "Doctor Ye, we apologize for the scare."
Ye Guichen responded.
This matter was becoming quite involved.
He understood the meaning of the Jinling Prince Mansion as well. Originally, he could have easily resolved this on his own. Now, with Dragon Teeth and the Jinling Prince Mansion involved, if he did not provide a satisfactory explanation to the Martial Arts Association, it might implicate both Dragon Teeth and the Jinling Prince Mansion.
If accused of harboring a murderer, it would naturally reflect badly on both Dragon Teeth and the Jinling Prince Mansion.
"Forget it, Brother Wang, Brother Duan, I appreciate your goodwill," seeing that the stalemate wasn’t leading anywhere, Ye Guichen sighed and said: "This matter was something I wanted to stay out of because I had little interaction with Zeng Chang. But since you are here, I’ll give you an answer."
His gaze fell on Zuo Zongsheng: "President Zuo, you don’t want the true murderer to escape justice, right? Give me two days, and I will find the real killer for you."
