Xu Zhengyang spoke with such seriousness that it nearly drove the man in leisurewear to the brink of rage.
Even the two troublemakers behind him were momentarily stunned.
Could this guy have some kind of background? Generally, people who act so arrogantly must have something backing them.
But considering he's driving a Hummer, how substantial could his background be?
The man in leisurewear was so infuriated that he actually laughed.
"Alright, alright!"
He then took out his phone, looking exceptionally grim, and made a call, evidently preparing to bring in reinforcements.
At that moment, Xu Zhengyang's phone rang.
Xu Zhengyang lifted his foot, and there was now a large shoe print on Sun Xiaoxiao's face.
Zhou Yan, the woman, pulled out her phone and snapped a few photos. Sun Xiaoxiao, now hiding her face in her hands, had lost all courage to get up. Her right cheek and ear were scratched and bruised, her face in a messy state.
The call was from Mu Sheng.
"Hello?"
"Boss, have you encountered a situation where someone is trying to set you up in a parking lot or something?"
Mu Sheng's tone was grim.
Xu Zhengyang glanced at Sun Xiaoxiao on the ground, frowning slightly; it was not exactly the same but close enough.
"Yes, how did you know?"
"We've been monitoring Zhao Xiaoman's messages. The people causing trouble for you now are likely trying to create a conflict between you and another wealthy family's second-generation member."
"Are they trying to use someone as a pawn?"
Xu Zhengyang quickly understood.
But Mu Sheng added:
"It's not just that. Their goal seems to be to monitor whether someone you know will come to find you! I've heard about this organization. Anyway, I'll explain the specifics when you return. It's not convenient to discuss everything over the phone!"
As Mu Sheng finished speaking, Xu Zhengyang suddenly shivered!
He wasn't surprised by Zhao Xiaoman's tactics.
He was surprised by Zhao Xiaoman's goal.
Monitoring someone he knew?
"Alright! I understand. I'll come back and see you as soon as possible!"
Xu Zhengyang nodded, eager to return and find out what Mu Sheng had uncovered from Zhao Xiaoman.
"Okay, there should be four people there with you, including members of the Wu family..."
Mu Sheng then briefly described the people involved before ending the call.
Xu Zhengyang hung up and looked at Sun Xiaoxiao on the ground.
He was amazed by Zhao Xiaoman's methods. Without the Falcon Investigation Team, he might have fallen into her trap, used as a pawn.
He was puzzled about how Zhao Xiaoman knew he would be there and how she managed to have Sun Xiaoxiao and these three people ambush him.
If Zhao Xiaoman wasn't monitoring him but had just guessed he might be at his restaurant around lunch and that parking would be an issue, then having Sun Xiaoxiao and the rich kids wait there, it would be even more impressive.
From a certain perspective, she had already succeeded; the rich kid had become an enemy.
Xu Zhengyang looked at the man in leisurewear, who had finished his call.
The other man behind him, with a look of enjoying the drama, said with a smirk:
"Bro, since he's calling for help, if I were you, I'd teach him a lesson before they arrive! Get some payback while you can!"
He said this with ill intentions, ignoring the angry glare from the man in leisurewear.
Given their background, they were confident they could subdue Xu Zhengyang. Their current antics were inconsequential.
Xu Zhengyang sneered.
"Calling for help? Haha, I don't believe that a second-generation member of the Wu family, plus a second-generation heir from Beicheng Real Estate, can call in anyone significant. Such a small family dares to stir up trouble? I'm looking forward to the surprise they bring. Let's see if their family can handle my anger."
Xu Zhengyang spoke casually, with a strong sense of disdain in his eyes.
The leisurewear man and the smirking guy's expressions changed abruptly.
They weren't fools; they could sense that Xu Zhengyang's demeanor was genuine.
More importantly, Xu Zhengyang had managed to reveal their identities just from one phone call and had dismissed their families as insignificant!
They knew nothing about Xu Zhengyang!
Even though they were furious, Xu Zhengyang's last words had shaken them.
What if Xu Zhengyang truly had the capability to deal with their families? If someone could figure out their identities from a single call, could he actually handle them?
What if it was true? What if they brought trouble to their families with someone they couldn't handle?
So, although they were angry at Xu Zhengyang, they suddenly became fearful.
At least for now, they couldn't stay here any longer. They needed to investigate Xu Zhengyang's identity before proceeding!
Without even arguing back, the leisurewear man pointed at Xu Zhengyang.
"Alright, we'll see."
The Beicheng Real Estate second-generation heir looked at Xu Zhengyang with disbelief, losing his previous jovial expression.
The three quickly walked deeper into the parking lot and drove off in two sports cars.
Sun Xiaoxiao cast a doubtful glance at Xu Zhengyang, guessing his identity.
What was going on? Zhao Xiaoman said he was just a lowly nobody. She claimed Wu Qifan could easily crush him. What was happening?
How did he know about Wu Qifan and Su Che's identities and dare to speak about them like that?
But Xu Zhengyang didn't spare another thought for her.
Seeing that the group had left, Xu Zhengyang directly got Lin Yourong into the car.
They skipped their meal and headed straight to the Falcon Investigation Team.
Upon arriving, Mu Sheng was seriously taking notes.
Seeing Xu Zhengyang, Mu Sheng immediately approached and, without any small talk, led him to a computer.
He played a recording for Xu Zhengyang.
The recording revealed key points: Zhao Xiaoman was reporting to her father about her progress, saying she had given Sun Xiaoxiao some money and that Sun Xiaoxiao had successfully tracked Xu Zhengyang, among other details.
One keyword stood out: "Protector Sword."
"Protector Sword?"
Xu Zhengyang looked at Mu Sheng with confusion.
From Zhao Xiaoman's remarks, it seemed they wanted to uncover Xu Zhengyang's connection to the Protector Sword and find some evidence.
Mu Sheng then opened a folder on the computer containing pictures, videos, and audio clips.
"This is all the information I could gather about the Protector Sword. It's only circulated in the black market and is hard to find, even Zhao Xiaoman doesn't have it.
From what we know, the Protector Sword is a mysterious organization from the Ming and Qing dynasties, known for its many skilled practitioners!
Some of them can even perform incredible feats, like scaling walls and leaping high…"
