Chapter 781: His Name is Lin Fei!
The evening sun shone on Jiangnan University.
In the parking lot, Jiang Yifan and Meng Wuhen stood in front of the luxury cars, watching Qin Yunyue, Lin Fei, and the others approach.
Lin Fei, Qin Yunyue, and five others seemed to be protected by Zhou Hao and Gao Zijian, but in reality, they were being coerced into the parking lot.
Meng Wuhen smiled, stepped forward, and said to Qin Yunyue, "Yunyue, I'm glad you've come. Will you ride in my car?"
Qin Yunyue nodded slightly.
Ma Zhao, one of Jiangnan's four dragons, had already opened the rear door of Meng Wuhen's Mercedes.
At this moment, Meng Wuhen realized that besides Qin Yunyue, Lin Fei had brought five men, while Yuan Yuxi, Qin Zimo, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Yixin, the four women, had not arrived.
"Yunyue, why didn't Yuan Yuxi and the others come?" Meng Wuhen slightly furrowed his brow and asked Qin Yunyue.
Qin Yunyue showed a slight look of apology: "I apologize, Young Master Meng. Yuxi isn't feeling well today, so Zimo, Xiao Xiao, and Yixin accompanied her to the hospital. They can't attend your banquet tonight."
Of course, Yuan Yuxi wasn't really unwell; it was just an excuse used by Qin Yunyue.
Under Lin Fei's arrangements, Yuan Yuxi and the four women had already left the school in advance, escorted by someone that Lin Fei knew from the Cloud Pavilion.
Meng Wuhen felt somewhat unwilling but thought that as long as Yuan Yuxi and the others were still studying at Jiangnan University, there would be more opportunities later, so there was no rush.
Tonight his primary focus was dealing with Qin Yunyue.
"That's indeed a bit unfortunate. Let's go!" Meng Wuhen said with a look of regret.
Then Meng Wuhen and Qin Yunyue got into the car, while Lin Fei, Xiao Ling, Xie Wenbo, and Li Qing respectively got into cars with other members of Jiangnan's four young masters.
A procession of eight luxury cars departed from Jiangnan University, heading towards the Meng family's estate.
Nightfall at the Meng family villa estate.
Although the Meng family's wealth couldn't compare to the Yang family's, being both a Martial Arts Family and a distinguished family, their villa estate was equally grand.
The area in front of the main villa was brightly lit, revealing many Meng family experts wearing black training clothes, standing with hands folded, exuding awe-inspiring presence.
The eight luxury cars stopped in the vast courtyard of the villa, and Meng Wuhen, Jiang Yifan, Qin Yunyue, Lin Fei, and the others disembarked from the cars.
"Please!" Meng Wuhen extended his hand, warmly inviting Qin Yunyue, Lin Fei, and the others.
Qin Yunyue, Li Qing, Xiao Ling, and Xie Wenbo exchanged glances because Lin Fei had told them that no matter what happened tonight, there would be experts from the Cloud Pavilion secretly protecting them.
Hence, the four of them felt as if they had taken a tranquilizer, not panicking and maintaining a calm demeanor.
They entered the villa and arrived at a brightly lit, spacious and well-lit dining room, where a round table measuring seven to eight meters long was already set with fine wines and exquisite dishes.
Although Meng Wuhen, Jiang Yifan, Qin Yunyue, Lin Fei, and the others totaled over a dozen people, the long round table seemed quite spacious even with so many seated.
"Young Master Jiang, Yunyue, and all brothers and friends, please take a seat." Meng Wuhen warmly invited everyone to sit down.
Everyone took their seats at the table one by one.
Attendants standing around the dining room promptly stepped forward to pour wine for them.
Qin Yunyue, Xiao Ling, Xie Wenbo, and Li Qing had already taken the Antitoxic Pills handed down by Lin Fei at the school in advance.
Thus, they weren't worried about the wine being poisoned and directly picked up their wine glasses and drank.
This surprised both Meng Wuhen and Jiang Yifan. Did Qin Yunyue and the others really think they were invited just for a meal and drinks?
After a few rounds of polite toasting and some dishes tasted.
Meng Wuhen showed a hint of intoxication and looked at Qin Yunyue, saying, "Yunyue, the reason for hosting this banquet today, besides celebrating you, me, and Young Master Jiang becoming good brothers, is that I have something to ask you."
Qin Yunyue, Xiao Ling, Xie Wenbo, and the others exchanged glances, aware that the main event of Meng Wuhen's banquet was about to unfold.
Qin Yunyue kept his composure, saying, "Young Master Meng, please speak."
Meng Wuhen nodded solemnly, "Yunyue, you might not know, but Young Master Jiang's father, Mr. Jiang, was innocent and killed when he went to the capital the other day; do you think Mr. Jiang's death was unjust?"
Qin Yunyue was taken aback, unsure why Meng Wuhen was sharing this, but he knew Meng Wuhen certainly had ulterior motives.
"Indeed, Mr. Jiang's death was unjust." Qin Yunyue could only offer a perfunctory remark.
"Then Yunyue, do you think the murderer who killed Mr. Jiang deserves to die?" Suddenly, Meng Wuhen's gaze turned sharply to Qin Yunyue and asked.
This made Qin Yunyue suspicious: why does it feel like Meng Wuhen's words are directed at himself?
But he hadn't killed Mr. Jiang?
Nonetheless, Qin Yunyue remained composed, "Then Young Master Meng, has the murderer who killed Mr. Jiang been caught yet?"
Meng Wuhen shook his head, "No, that's why I'm asking you."
Qin Yunyue was puzzled, "Asking me?"
Meng Wuhen nodded, "Yes, because you know the murderer who killed Mr. Jiang."
Qin Yunyue showed surprise, "I know this murderer?"
"His name is Lin Fei, your good brother." Meng Wuhen said one word at a time.
Qin Yunyue, Xiao Ling, Xie Wenbo, and Li Qing were startled upon hearing Lin Fei's name!
They finally realized why Meng Wuhen mentioned Young Master Jiang's father's murder; it turns out he intended to say it was Lin Fei who killed Jiang Bu'er.
And upon hearing Jiang Bu'er died at Lin Fei's hand, Qin Yunyue and the others were already aware: Lin Fei never kills innocent people; Jiang Bu'er certainly wasn't a good person, and unless he tried to endanger Lin Fei's life, Lin Fei wouldn't have killed him.
"Young Master Meng, who is this Lin Fei you're speaking of? I don't know him." Qin Yunyue flatly denied it.
Of course, Qin Yunyue wouldn't admit to knowing Lin Fei, as that would only bring trouble for himself and implicate Lin Fei.
Xie Wenbo, Xiao Ling, and Li Qing saw Qin Yunyue deny knowing Lin Fei, so they also acted as if they didn't know who Lin Fei was.
Meanwhile, the real Lin Fei mentioned by Meng Wuhen was sitting at the table, enjoying his meal and eating lobster with relish.
This left Xie Wenbo, Xiao Ling, and Li Qing dumbfounded: does this guy only have eyes for lobster?
Does he not sense the abnormal atmosphere at the table!
Gluttony is terrifying!
Of course, Lin Fei heard what Meng Wuhen and Qin Yunyue said, and he hadn't anticipated the banquet tonight would be directed at him!
However, he didn't understand how Meng Wuhen became aware of his relationship with Qin Yunyue and the others?
But remembering that the Jiang family had a strong and fearsome Star Moon Sect backing them, it wouldn't be impossible for them to investigate his connections with Qin Yunyue.
Fortunately, he was prepared tonight, thinking it wouldn't be difficult to get out unscathed.
"Hahaha, Yunyue, you're quite the actor; if no one had informed me about your association with Lin Fei, I might have believed what you said." Meng Wuhen laughed.
"Young Master Meng, you may regard certain people as brothers, yet they seem not to treat you as such. If you find it difficult, let me ask them; a father's murder cannot go unavenged. I won't be polite to certain individuals," Jiang Yifan said coldly, with a stern face.
