Chapter 322 Nobles Among Nobles

Last night, Tan Zheng couldn't find trouble with Danny, so today Song Ni accompanied him to do so. Looking at the expressions on their faces, Huan Yuan felt that entrusting Tan Zheng's persuasion to Song Ni last night was utter foolishness. Sheng Jiang, not thinking that much, became incredibly excited upon learning that Tan Zheng and Song Ni were going to confront Danny. "I've disliked that bearded fellow for a long time. Truly, he's inferior to Tan Ge in every way, yet he always tries to compete with Tan Ge." Even the character of people brought up by the club was questionable. Although he also enjoyed himself, he did so healthily, unlike those people who indulged in debauchery and behaved immorally. Huan Yuan looked at Sheng Jiang, then at Song Ni, who finally fixed her gaze on Tan Zheng. It seemed this score couldn't be left unsettled. Huan Yuan then gave up on trying to dissuade them. However, before the couple left, Huan Yuan pulled Song Ni aside and asked in a low voice, "Won't this affect Tan Shen?" Seeing how much Huan Yuan cared about Tan Zheng, Song Ni felt a surge of comfort. "Don't worry, trust us." Huan Yuan then let go. ... Danny was indeed ruthless. Yesterday, his club members were beaten up like that, yet he didn't show up. Instead, after hearing the hotel manager's description, he packed his belongings overnight and disappeared. It was at this moment that Song Ni realized the extent of Tan Zheng's influence in Britain... no, it should be said, how much actual power he wielded in Britain. Not only did he have GN, but he also knew many true British nobles. Song Ni only saw Tan Zheng make a phone call. Within ten minutes, the other party called back, providing Danny's whereabouts and information about the person behind him to Tan Zheng. The call was not made deliberately to keep Song Ni out. Song Ni heard a man's voice. It was gentle, and when discussing those astonishing black chains, he spoke as if discussing a trivial matter, nonchalantly, without the slightest concern. Song Ni could even hear a light chuckle. It was as if a true superior was amused by the petty tricks of insignificant individuals, treating them as mere entertainment. From their brief exchange, Song Ni could sense that their relationship was not bad, but certainly not close. After the call ended, Song Ni, without hesitation, directly asked who it was. When Tan Zheng uttered the surname, even Song Ni was stunned. Song Ni didn't know the strength of Ian and his so-called fiancée's family, but this surname was recognizable even to someone like her, who didn't pay much attention to complex power dynamics. Grosvenor, a family that would not be at a disadvantage even compared to the British Royal Family. The West of the West, the nobility of nobility. Song Ni now completely understood why Tan Zheng had not taken Ian seriously at all back then. There was indeed no need. And listening to the man's demeanor, Song Ni even felt that he was the mysterious heir of Grosvenor. Song Ni pursed her lips. "How did you two meet?" Tan Zheng smiled. To explain in detail would be a long story; to put it simply, it was rather cliché. It was simply that he saved the life of a Duke with a peculiar temper. Afterward, they had a pleasant conversation and became friends. It could be said that GN's rapid rise in recent years owed a lot to that Duke, but Tan Zheng had never asked for anything in return, and was even somewhat displeased with the Duke's actions. Song Ni crossed her arms. The slight apprehension she had before coming here had completely disappeared. Thinking back to Huan Yuan's nervousness before they left, she now felt it was all unnecessary. To deal with those who liked to use power and assets for petty schemes, using higher power to suppress them was the most effective and convenient path. Although Song Ni didn't want to get involved in these matters, she understood this principle clearly. She smiled and rolled up her sleeves. "Then can I go all out today?" Since she had that Duke as a safety net, she didn't need to hold back anymore. She had long disliked that scumbag, both for what he did to Tan Zheng five years ago and for his various actions in the last five years. She wanted to fight back for Tan Zheng, for herself, and also for Sheng Jiang and Huan Yuan. Upon arriving at the hotel, Song Ni was responsible for teaching Danny a lesson with her fists and feet, while Tan Zheng dealt with Danny's backer. It was not necessary for the highest leader of that group to interact with Danny; he was merely a secretary. Tan Zheng left a message. "Good luck with your own fate." Within two days, internal conflicts inexplicably arose within that group, and its stock prices continued to fall. Outsiders attributed it to strange circumstances. Only Li Wen heard some rumors and approached Tan Zheng. "Was it you who dealt with Danny's club?" All the race car drivers from the club were exposed for various scandals, the club was dissolved overnight, and all their qualifications and honors were revoked. Tan Zheng merely glanced at Li Wen, saying nothing. Li Wen, however, understood much from that simple look. He knew how dark the internal workings of the racing association had been over the years, and how corrupt the benefit chain behind it was. However, he dared not confront capital, and could only lament the misfortune of extremely talented race car drivers. But Tan Zheng had, without anyone noticing, shattered Danny's club overnight, which indicated that the capital behind Danny was no longer protecting him. Or perhaps the capital itself was in trouble, coupled with the news from that group... Li Wen was greatly shocked. "How did you do it?" Tan Zheng found Li Wen's reaction amusing. "I naturally have my methods." But Li Wen still couldn't understand. Even if GN was very powerful now, it couldn't yet shake the foundations of that group. Even if Tan Zheng had the Tan family behind him, the main force was still domestically based. Seeing Li Wen's confusion, Tan Zheng remarked, "Danny has someone behind him, and I don't?" Li Wen's eyes widened abruptly. Tan Zheng said no more, just smiling. He had only casually saved someone and hadn't intended to leverage that favor, but those people had dared to target those he cared about. Li Wen disbelievingly focused on the idea that Tan Zheng had someone behind him. He believed that Tan Zheng's personality would disdain relying on others. And indeed, it was so. Tan Zheng didn't exactly rely on that Duke. After all, dealing with that group was not a significant matter for the Duke, and certainly not comparable to his life. However, there was one troublesome matter. That Duke had been wanting to foster a closer relationship with Tan Zheng, and after this incident, he had an excuse to request a meeting with Tan Zheng. Furthermore, he also wanted to meet Song Ni. Tan Zheng was not particularly keen on having extensive interactions with this Duke, and the step of meeting Song Ni felt like going too far for him. Yet, Song Ni was extremely interested when she learned about it. "It's fine to meet him once. You'll be returning to the country anyway, and you won't have much interaction with him afterward."
