"Old Master Zheng, pretending to be oblivious makes this meaningless," Fang Yi said.

"I really don’t understand what you’re talking about," Old Master Zheng’s expression remained unchanged.

"Haha!"

Fang Yi chuckled, holding a cigarette between his fingers and blowing out a puff of smoke, "Old Master Zheng, this is really pointless. Back then, you borrowed three items from my old man, each of great value. Those three items helped you, allowed the Zheng Family to grow and prosper, and now the Zheng Family is flourishing. No one’s come to you until now, but do you really think the matter is settled just because you’re old and so much time has passed?"

Since the other party was playing dumb, Fang Yi was too lazy to beat around the bush and laid everything on the table.

"Young man, you’ve said a lot, and I’ve understood for the most part. However, what you mentioned has nothing to do with my Zheng Family. As for those three items, I’m not aware of them at all,"

Old Master Zheng’s expression still didn’t change, his tone indifferent.

He clearly stated his stance, pretending to know nothing.

Fang Yi squinted slightly, "Is Old Master Zheng planning to deny it stubbornly?"

Old Master Zheng replied, "There’s no such thing. Forcing old me to admit something is a bit unreasonable, isn’t it?"

Fang Yi made a sound, "Okay, since Old Master Zheng plans to cut ties, there’s nothing more for me to say. I won’t make any threats because that’s beneath me. Old Master Zheng, let’s see what happens?"

"Young man, don’t be too impulsive. Being bold is good, but acting without considering the consequences is foolish," said Old Master Zheng. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"If a young person isn’t bold, then they’re not young,"

Fang Yi stood up, smiled, and said, "Old Master Zheng, do you think that if I walk out, I’ll be killed?"

Old Master Zheng, who appeared nonchalant a moment ago, had a fleeting look of conflict in his clouded eyes.

Subsequently, Old Master Zheng struggled to stand up, propped his body with a cane, wobbling as if he might fall at any moment.

Old Master Zheng leaned on his dragon-headed cane and walked toward the door.

He knocked on the door when he reached it, and someone opened the door.

It was Yuan Kun who opened the door. Initially respectful upon seeing Old Master Zheng, his eyes darkened immediately when he saw Fang Yi following behind.

"Let him go!" Old Master Zheng suddenly said.

"What?!"

Yuan Kun’s face changed dramatically, "Master, this guy barged into the old residence, and the backyard caught fire. It must be his accomplice’s doing. Just letting him go, is this..."

Old Master Zheng looked at Yuan Kun, "Does my word not hold weight?"

Yuan Kun stiffened and quickly lowered his head, "I wouldn’t dare!"

Old Master Zheng slowly turned back, seeing Fang Yi also walking to the door. He was indeed conflicted inside, torn and unable to decide, as he had his own considerations that no one but Fang Yi knew.

"Miss Zheng, would you escort me?" At this moment, Fang Yi spoke.

As soon as he said this, Yuan Kun was about to oppose, but Zheng Yaotiao firmly said, "Sure!"

Even Zheng Yaotiao herself didn’t object, so what was the point of a bodyguard leader opposing?

Old Master Zheng didn’t oppose either.

"Old Master Zheng, sometimes a person shouldn’t forget their roots. Every family has its own troubles, and that I can understand. But ultimately, integrity matters, don’t you think?" Fang Yi said quietly to Old Master Zheng as he was leaving.

It was a well-intended reminder!
