"Brother, it’s been five minutes, and no one has come out yet. What do we do now? Should we just charge in?"

"Yeah! Brother, what do you say?"

Cao Ya’s two subordinates glanced at the time, then simultaneously turned to Cao Ya, ready for him to give the command.

They had been timing it earlier, so they knew the agreed time had arrived.

Hearing their eager voices, Cao Ya looked at them, frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction, "What are you talking about? We’re gentlemen! How can we act recklessly? Let’s wait a bit longer. I bet someone will show up soon. After all, President Fang will have to send someone to deal with this, right!"

"Yes!"

They quickly agreed...

At this moment, they were quite frustrated...

Because they noticed that Cao Ya had changed.

Previously, Cao Ya would have agreed to charge right in without hesitation...

They knew that Cao Ya made this change because he wanted to leave a refined and gentle impression on Jing and the others.

"He’s really smitten, but who knows if he’ll succeed this time!"

"Right!"

They didn’t have much confidence in Cao Ya’s actions this time because the other side seemed really difficult to deal with.

Most importantly, the other side showed no reaction at all.

Bystanders are clear-minded, while those involved are confused!

Cao Ya didn’t have this feeling at all; he’s already daydreaming about winning the beauty after the fact.

...

While Cao Ya was daydreaming, almost everyone from the Cao Family had gathered here.

Cao Ya noticed this, and so did his subordinates.

They exchanged glances, and one of them spoke in surprise.

"What do they mean by this? Are they planning to use a sea of people strategy?"

Hearing this surprised question, the other rubbed his nose and said in a low voice, "That’s a possibility!"

Hearing their judgment, Cao Ya sneered, "I doubt it’s a sea of people strategy; these people are probably just here to watch the show!"

Glancing at Cao Ya, the two sidekicks looked puzzled, "Watch the show? What show?"

Upon hearing their confused question, Cao Ya frowned impatiently, "Of course, watch us get trounced! These people have a lot of confidence in their Family Head, so they’ve all gathered here."

"Is there really such a tactic? Aren’t they worried about things going south?"

"Maybe they want to see things go south! Maybe their family isn’t as united as we thought."

"Makes sense!"

The two sidekicks thought about it and then understood...

... 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Hearing their discussion, Jing looked expectantly into the distance.

She knew Hu Xiaobei would show up soon.

At this moment, she wasn’t concerned whether Hu Xiaobei and those people were united or not. In her view, whether they’re united or not doesn’t matter, because no matter what, Hu Xiaobei will always have the last laugh.

Thinking this, Jing heard Cao Ya speaking softly beside her, "Jing, when that Family Head comes out later, I might teach him a lesson, but I’m not someone who likes to fight. Usually, I’m very refined. Please don’t be scared by how I act later, okay?"

"Don’t worry, you don’t have to worry about me here. I’ve seen quite a few big scenes before!"

"That’s good, that’s good!"

He breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze back to the Cao Family side, wanting to see what kind of character the Cao Family Head was.

He had investigated some information before but it was not detailed...

So, he still couldn’t figure out exactly who the Cao Family Head was.

...

Soon, he saw someone approaching with a familiar face!

"This person looks familiar!"

Seeing this person, he felt a sense of familiarity and subconsciously muttered.

Just after speaking, he heard his two subordinates quickly speak up.

"Boss, this is the Cao Family Head here, he’s called Cao Meng!"

With this explanation, Cao Ya finally realized why the face seemed familiar.

Nodding his head, he looked over again...

Soon, his just-relaxed brows furrowed again.

Because he saw that Cao Meng didn’t have the demeanor of a Family Head at all, instead, he looked like a lackey.

"What’s going on?"

Frowning, he glanced behind Cao Meng and saw a young man and woman walking over calmly.

"Who are they?"

He murmured to himself, looking at them seriously, but didn’t have the slightest impression.

"Do you recognize those two young people?"

Knowing that the investigation was done by them, Cao Ya quickly asked his two subordinates.

"I don’t recognize them!"

"Me neither!"

Upon hearing Cao Ya’s urgent inquiry, they quickly shook their heads.

Just now, they had also scrutinized that young man and woman carefully, but they had no impression of them at all.

They also found it strange!

Although they hadn’t investigated everyone before, they had covered almost everything, but they had no impression of these two, making them feel like these people popped out of nowhere.

Hearing their response, Cao Ya felt like strangling them both!

Because they were supposed to investigate, but now they were daring to say they didn’t know, which was utterly absurd.

Seeing Cao Ya glaring at them, they understood he was obviously dissatisfied with them...

Their mouths twitched a bit, and they whispered, "Boss, we really did our investigation very carefully before!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

"Shut up, both of you!"

Already annoyed, Cao Ya got even angrier hearing their explanation!

So without hesitation, he gave them a big eye-roll.

"Yes!"

Sharing an awkward glance, they quickly dared not say anything else.

...

"Brother-in-law is really handsome!"

They didn’t recognize him, but Jing did.

So, her eyes completely lit up.

Not just Jing, but everyone standing with her showed great anticipation...

They had great faith in Hu Xiaobei, knowing these small fries couldn’t stir up any trouble in front of him.

"He’s here!"

The Great Elder watched Hu Xiaobei appear under Cao Meng’s guidance, with a trace of enthusiasm in his eyes.

He knew that with Hu Xiaobei’s presence, they could enjoy a good show.

"Cao Meng did well!"

Praising, he looked at Cao Meng...

Just like that, the two shared a glance from afar.

Soon, they shifted their focus to Hu Xiaobei, knowing he was the main attraction to come...

At this time, everyone around started whispering softly...
