Chapter 265 The Killing Begins
```
Seeing one guest after another stand up for Shen Feng, the guests all felt a bit dazed.
Not to mention Ji Yunhan, Cheng Ruyun, and Sun Antong, et cetera.
The father and son from the Luo Family in Nanming County, as well as Qin Zhanyuan and Yan Xinyi, what was going on with them? Weren't they all from the Qin and Yan Families? What had initially seemed like a simple and pure drama was now becoming increasingly baffling.
Therefore, the guests on-site began to discuss amongst themselves.
Guo Liqiang, Lu Yang, and others standing beside Shen Feng found their minds completely blank; listening to the surrounding discussions, they learned the identities of Qin Zhanyuan and others. These people had clearly stood up because of Shen Feng—they were from the Qin and Yan Families, so why were they biting the hand that fed them at this time?
Guo Liqiang, Lu Yang, and Qiao Zimo were finding it harder and harder to see through this brother of theirs. From their reunion in Wuzhou, they had felt that Shen Feng seemed different from before.
Lu Wei's face was filled with surprise, and she pursed her lips slightly. She now understood why Shen Feng was so calm! The gaze in her beautiful eyes fixed on Shen Feng, recalling the words he had said earlier. Having people from the direct lines of the Qin and Yan Families stand up for him showed that her brother's friend was not worthless, but this alone was still not enough.
Seeing no one from the Qin or Yan Families on the high platform intending to speak, Shen Feng continued, "What? Are your mouths only good for farting? Have you forgotten what you just said after letting it out?"
The faces of Qin Jianbo and Yan Fangde instantly turned grim. Today was the day both their families were set to undergo a complete change. To bow their heads today would turn them into a joke in Tianhai, wouldn't it?
Qin Jianbo grabbed the microphone, his gaze fixed on Luo Jiande, Qin Zhanyuan, and others, and barked, "Do you know what you're doing? I don't care why you stood up. I'm giving you five seconds to get back to your places. If you do, I won't pursue the matter further."
Luo Zhiyong sneered disdainfully, "Five seconds? Give us five hundred years, and we would still stand unwaveringly beside Master Shen."
Qin Zhanyuan and Sun Antong, among others, regretted their delayed response. They wished they could kick Luo Zhiyong, who was too good at bootlicking—turning five seconds into five hundred years.
Qin Xuewei's eyes narrowed. Qin Zhanyuan was her uncle, and she hadn't expected that her uncle would also stand on Shen Feng's side. She couldn't care less about what had actually happened; seeing Shen Feng's untroubled demeanor only fanned the flames of anger within her. How dare this pest hop around in front of her!
Qin Zhanyuan felt a momentary waver in his heart but immediately cast aside the stray thought. In big families, everything revolved around interests; sometimes, even between biological father and son, sacrifice was needed when necessary.
Seeing Luo Jiande and others remain unmoved, Qin Jianbo's face turned red with fury, and his breathing became erratic.
Han Xingzhi, who sat at the main table, looked at Qiu Junchu and saw him nod. He stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Han Xingzhi from the Han Family of the Capital City. I am here to witness the marriage for the Qin and Yan Families."
"Regarding the lost jewel of the Qin Family, these four individuals must be held accountable. Do you think it's enough to have a few people stand up as guarantors? Right is right, wrong is wrong. Since they are the most suspect, they should strip off their clothes so that everyone can see. What do you all think?"
Han Xingzhi from the Capital City Han Family?
Many immediately remembered that the Han Family Head was indeed named Han Xingzhi. While the Han Family could not compare to the top-tier families in the Capital City, they were undoubtedly a significant family, not one that the families of Tianhai could afford to offend.
Suddenly, the surrounding guests began hurriedly claiming relationships.
"Family Head Han is right. Those who steal jewels deserve to have their hands and feet chopped off."
"Letting them strip is simply letting them off too easy. I think they dare not strip because they are the ones who stole the jewels."
"There's no point in wasting words. Do we need to reason with such people? Do they understand reason?"
...
Ironically, it was the people from the Qin and Yan Families who had acted inconsistently, but in the mouths of these onlookers, the story was entirely different.
Just as Ji Yunhan was about to speak again...
Qiu Junchu stood up and said, "Ji Yunhan, I know what happened at Taiyi Sect before, but today concerns the Qin and Yan Families. What's your relationship to this kid? What right do you have to interfere?"
Even though Qiu Junchu knew Ji Yunhan might know Shen Xiaoyao, the matter at hand was not the Ji Family's business.
For Ji Yunhan to insist on involving himself was indefensible anywhere. Plus, if the Ji Family and the rumored Shen Xiaoyao truly had a profound connection, the Ji Family would have become the number one family in Huaxia Country long ago. From this, it appeared that Shen Xiaoyao may have merely lent a hand to the Ji Family in the past.
Of course, even with such suspicions, Qiu Junchu didn't dare to lay hands on Ji Yunhan. He intended only to deal with Shen Feng and the few small fry. Besides, he was about to marry Qin Xuewei; if he couldn't proceed with the engagement banquet, he feared he would be looked down upon by the Qin and Yan Families.
After all, the Ji Family's influence remained on Hong Kong Island!
```
Hong Kong Island is a special region of Huaxia Country, but when it comes to the real centers of power, they all come from the Capital City.
Moreover, the families of the Capital City can influence Tianhai, while it's not certain the Ji Family of Hong Kong Island can reach out and affect Tianhai.
This was why everyone around was fully supporting Han Xingzhi.
Ji Yunhan's lips quivered, but before she could speak, Shen Feng waved his hand and said, "I'll handle it myself!"
His tone was undeniably firm, which made Ji Yunhan feel a sense of daze, as if in this moment, the figures of Shen Xiaoyao and Shen Feng overlapped once again.
Shen Feng exclaimed, "Everyone listen carefully, if you choose to stand with the Qin Family and the Yan Family, then you can stand still and don't move." Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
"And if you choose not to get involved in this matter, you can leave the banquet hall right now."
"Remember, there is only one chance."
This time, Shen Feng was not planning to spare anyone; those who dared to stand with the Qin Family and the Yan Family would all be sent straight to hell by him.
Aside from Luo Jiande and others who had already stepped forward, the rest of the guests remained still, convinced that Shen Feng was too arrogant.
Even if he was the first-place winner of the Huaxia Country medical skills selection competition, so what?
And what was that about only one chance?
It was utterly ridiculous!
Lu Wei, Guo Liqiang, and others watched Shen Feng with trepidation, completely clueless about what he was going to do next.
Uncle Zhong frowned; he couldn't see through Qiu Junchu and Ji Qiantong, knowing he would not be a match for them once a fight broke out.
Cheng Ruyun's complexion turned a shade paler. She was unsure if her decision was the right one.
"Kid, just who do you think you are? We stand on the side of justice. You stole something and still have the nerve to be righteous?"
"We've made our choice. What can you do to us? You should be more concerned about yourself, regardless of whether the gemstones are found on you or not. We can all testify that it was you who stole the gems from the Qin Family. You just wait for your time in prison!"
...
The guests around began to clamor once more.
Yan Jinghui descended from the high platform, unable to contain his anger. The mere thought of Qin Xuewei and Qiu Junchu being alone in the car earlier made him feel a murderous rage.
He couldn't afford to offend Qiu Junchu, and now that the situation had escalated to this point, he naturally had to vent his emotions.@@novelbin@@
He approached Shen Feng and, seeing his calm gaze, casually picked up a pair of chopsticks from a nearby table, "What are you looking at? There's no need to pretend to be calm. Does it do any good?"
"Do you think you can kill me with your stare? Come on, I'll give you a chance. Use these chopsticks to stab my heart. If you can kill me with them, that'll prove I deserve to die."
What was in his hands was just an ordinary pair of wooden chopsticks, flat at both ends without any sharp points, completely incapable of hurting anyone.
He kept pointing the chopsticks at Shen Feng with contempt in his face, "You're just trash, a good-for-nothing. Do you understand? Is there any point for you to live in this world? You put on quite a show, though."
Everyone present was watching the spectacle.
But suddenly, Shen Feng's hand moved. He easily snatched the wooden chopsticks from Yan Jinghui's hand and stabbed them into his chest in one swift motion.
"Pu-chi!" A sound was heard.
The wooden chopsticks instantly penetrated Yan Jinghui's chest.
With a quick slap of his palm on the chopsticks, there was another "pu-chi" sound, and the whole stick completely entered Yan Jinghui's chest, piercing through his heart.
Shen Feng shrugged and said, "Turns out, you really did deserve to die!"
What do you think?
