Even the Lin family didn't own such a big private airplane. Although the Lin family had a lot of influence, they didn't have much leeway regarding wealth. Most of the official families were this way. They had to take note of one's image a lot as flaunting one's wealth wouldn't do any good to them. Their situation was utterly different from those wealthy families.

Lin Mi was dazzled the moment she entered inside the plane. She had traveled in her friend's private plane was pretty shocked then, but she that one couldn't even compare to Jiang Xiu's plane.

If an analogy were made to cars, her friend's plane was a Xiali brand car while Jiang Xiu's was a Ferrari or Maserati ranked car. The interior décor was on a completely different level and perhaps even better than the ones in planes owned by diamond dealers from Southwest Asia. The decoration inside was better than a five-star hotel's. There was a bedroom, bathroom, lounge as well as an office..

Wang Xintong had purchased this airplane just recently. The previous plane could only fly domestic air routes, and it'd require all kinds of audits before it could be allowed to fly via an international route. Seeing that Jiang Xiu had spent 500 million euros to buy a necklace, she didn't find it much to spend 100 million euros to obtain a top-notch airplane.

Jiang Xiu walked in and sat down on the sofa. The air hostess came over and asked him, Mr. Jiang, there's still 5 minutes left before we take off. Do you want us to serve food and drinks?"

Jiang Xiu told them to do it. His appetite was quite frightening.

Lin Mi sat opposite to him and asked doubtfully, "This airplane is yours? How did you get so much money?"

"Do you think only your Lin family is allowed to be wealthy? That others are all poor?"

Lin Mi didn't have this intention and was just curious where had he obtained so much money from. Though she didn't know how much such an airplane would cost, she could guesstimate that it would be at least several 100 million and the maintenance cost would be an astonishing number as well. She believed it was simply impossible for Jiang Xiu's family to have so much money.

But facts couldn't cheat someone.

She believed that perhaps because he was so wealthy, he had hurt Lin Shiqian so severely. The rage in Lin Mi's heart welled up again when she remembered this. Lin Shiqian had a total of 30 stitches on his head, and his left leg had undergone an operation as well. He had screamed in pain all night, and even painkillers were useless. All of this was due to the man before her.

"It's useless even if you leave the capital. You have to give an explanation, or else the Lin family won't let this go."

"Don't think this matter would be set aside just because you're aunt's son. My little brother isn't so easy to bully."

"It looks like I was soft." Jiang Xiu replied.

"What?" Lin Mi couldn't believe what she was hearing. He had beat her brother so badly and said he had acted soft. "Do you want to kill him or what?"

"If I could choose again, I'd definitely kill him."

"You!"

Lin Mi's face turned red in anger, but she didn't take his words seriously, thinking he must be just trying to rile her up. In such a lawful society, there was no need to take another person's life just because of a little anger. Moreover, this person was her relative.

In reality, Jiang Xiu held no affection for the Lin family in his heart.

Back when his father had run into misfortune, the Jiang family hadn't acted so he believed his mother must've gone to the Lin family for help as well, but his father was still left to rot in prison. From this, it was clear that they didn't care about their family. Even if he kept this aside when his parents died in the previous life, he had gone to the Lin family to announce their demise and what he had experienced then had already let him understand their mindset.

He would've killed Lin Shiqian if not for Lin Yueling still holding affection for her family.

Huabei province wasn't that far, so they reached there after 2 hours. Jiang Xiu ate lunch while watching the news on TV. Naturally, he didn't act stingy by not ordering a meal for Lin Mi. It was a genuine Gaulle-style steak plus wine. But like the adage went - the more you take, the less you can criticize. Lin Mi had come to criticize him so she couldn't accept his goodwill and this didn't eat it.

Wang Xintong had already made someone arrange a car at the airport. Since Jiang Xiu's purpose for the trip was unusual this time, a driver wasn't prepared. Jiang Xiu drove it himself.

The white Maserati raced out from the airport. The longer Xie Ting remained at the Ji family, the more dangerous it was. He didn't dare to delay on the way and made for the interior mountain regions of Huabei province. There were curving mountain roads all around as well as tunnels. Jiang Xiu always kept a constant speed of 140 km/hr, and on straight paths, the speed even rose up to 160 km/hr. Even a tomboyish girl like Lin Mi who didn't fear anything was frightened due to this. It was almost akin to playing with one's life!

..

Huabei's Mu family. A good deal of disciples was currently gathered in the courtyard. Many people had gathered there and even the patriarch of the Mu family, Mu Jianping was also there.

"What do we do now? Do we just lie in wait for the Ji family to kill us all?" An old man roared in a fury. He was actually a Supreme Stage Grandmaster. He slammed the stone table with his hand, leaving behind an imprint on the table.

"How many of our disciples have died in the past few days?"

A woman robed in a white cheongsam stated in anger.

"Your Mu family must account this to me!"

Mu Jianping wore a dejected look on his face. The Ji family stood at the top in the lands of Huabei, and there were four families below them. They didn't vie with each other for resources and actually had a good relationship with each other. The biggest reason for this was to make a united front against the oppression and exploitation they suffered.

As Jiang Luoxia had killed Ji Wudao during the Mid-autumn festival and Zhu Dingsheng had also died, Mu Jianping believed the Ji family was vulnerable. They had suffered oppression for so many years and were full of resentment, so they teamed up with the other three families and started an offensive against the Ji family. But their combined attack didn't even shake up the Ji family. Instead, it had brought trouble upon them.

Nowadays, the Ji family members were coming over every few days to create trouble and kill a few people. Their hearts felt tormented as they saw the disciples, as well as their kin, die tragically.

Mu Jianping said, "Everyone. I feel ashamed to say this to you, but I've already gone to the capital to seek Mr. Jiang, but he's still in Europe."

The old man was infuriated, "Stop saying these useless things. Why would Jiang Luoxia act for someone like us?"

The woman said, "I fear you couldn't even meet with the Wang family, right?"

Mu Jianping said, "I spent a high price to meet with Wang Xintong. Miss Wang promised me that she would mention this matter to Mr. Jiang."

The old man said, "We're already in a desperate situation right now. Are we going to hand over our fate for someone else to decide now?"

"Yeah!"

A 60-year-old, tall man beside him spoke up in agreement.

Mu Jianping said, "Everyone, don't worry. Miss Wang promised that she would send people. Although Mr. Jiang wouldn't care about such small things, the Wang family is a martial arts family with a 200-year-old heritage."

Everyone turned silent after hearing this, revealing an expression on hope on their faces. The woman asked, "It would be great if the Wang family acts to help us. That'd be better than just resigning ourselves to fate."

The old man said, "But when will the people from Wang family arrive?"

"They are killing three of our people each day!"

The old man's eyes turned red as he mentioned this, his body quivering all over. Those people were all his disciples and grand-disciples, yet they had to offer up their young and innocent life.

..

After arriving near the Mu family, Jiang Xiu stopped the car. The path ahead was a mountain road, and a car couldn't drive inside, so he began to climb up. Lin Mi still followed after his as she didn't plan to give up before she got an explanation from him.

The scenery was pretty beautiful here, and there were many old constructions here, but they weren't exploited to create a tourist spot.historical

"Just where do you want to go?"

"Huabei's Mu family!"

"But that's Elder Mu Jianping's family. Do you know him? He's a top-notch expert of Huabei. When grandfather was still in the army back then, our Lin family had used a high position to invite him, but he refused us resolutely. He hasn't paid attention to secular matters for over a decade already."

Jiang Xiu didn't reply to her and kept walking.

Jiang Xiu didn't know where the Ji family was located. Wang Xintong had told him the location of the Mu family and said that they knew where the Ji family was.

Therefore, he could only come to the Mu family.

"I don't know him!"

Lin Mi's face was filled with disdain, "I knew you couldn't have known him. Even I never got the chance to see Elder Mu. Since you don't know Elder Mu, why did you come to the Mu family?"

"To ask them to act as my guide."

Saying so, they already arrived at the Mu family's village. A 10 m high banner had been erected at the village's entrance.

Finally!
