Chapter 203 Collective Disarray
"What kind of arrogance is this!"
Seeing Su Tianhao flaunt his petty triumph, Su Ruoxue couldn't stand to watch it.
"Ruoxue, don't worry, they'll be dumbfounded soon!" Ye Fan said with a devilish smile.
Staring at Ye Fan's mischievous grin, Su Ruoxue said with a puzzled face, "They're not really going to be turned away, are they? But they have invitations!"
"What good is an invitation? Just watch, Ruoxue!" Ye Fan replied with a confident smile.
A few days ago, he had already given Lin Wu a heads up. If Old Madam Su and her party could really enter the Marshal's ceremony, it would be truly bizarre.
"Stop right there!"
Under Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue's watchful eyes, Old Madam Su reached the entrance and was stopped. Checking the invitations was Zhang Dabiao, the same old acquaintance, Lin Wu's personal bodyguard.
Zhang Dabiao looked solemnly at Old Madam Su, "Please show me your invitation!"
"The invitation is here!" Su Tianhao hurriedly handed over the invitation he was holding.
Zhang Dabiao felt Su Tianhao looked somewhat familiar. He glanced at the invitation and said in surprise, "You are people from the Central Plains Su Family?"
"Yes, yes, yes, we are from the Su Family. You personally delivered this invitation to our Su Family; do you remember?" Su Tianhao said with an obsequious smile.
"Indeed! It was you who personally brought the invitation into my hands!"
Old Madam Su also recognized Zhang Dabiao; she remembered it crystal clear, it was Zhang Dabiao who personally drove to the Su Family to deliver the invitation.
Reminded by Su Tianhao, Zhang Dabiao recalled, "Right, it's true, I did personally deliver the invitation to your Su Family."
"Then we three can go in, right?" Old Madam Su asked respectfully.
Zhang Dabiao flatly refused, "You cannot!"
"What? We cannot?"
Hearing Zhang Dabiao's words, Su Tianhao shouted out loud in disbelief.
Old Madam Su's aged face changed; she exclaimed in shock, "Why can't we? We have invitations from the Su Family! And you were the one who personally delivered it!"
"Yes, why can everyone else go in, but we can't?" Su Yue also asked, utterly confused.
Zhang Dabiao snorted coldly, "You just can't! What's the use of all this nonsense?"
A few days ago, Lin Wu had personally ordered that if the Su Family members came on the day of the Marshal's ceremony, they must be refused entry.
Now that Old Madam Su and the others had arrived, he naturally had to follow Lin Wu's wishes.
"This... this..."
Being turned away by Zhang Dabiao, Old Madam Su, Su Tianhao, and Su Yue were completely dumbfounded.
Normally, everyone with an invitation could enter; why couldn't they?
"Brother Jun, are you joking with us?" Su Tianhao forced a smile.
Zhang Dabiao glanced at Su Tianhao disdainfully, "Who's joking with you? Move aside!"
"Uh!"
Shut out, Su Tianhao was utterly baffled.
Old Lady Su, always cunning, quickly took out a check worth a million trying to shove it into Zhang Dabiao's hands, "Brother Jun, we were invited here; could there be some misunderstanding? This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it with a smile!"
"What are you doing? Are you trying to insult my integrity?" Zhang Dabiao looked infuriated.
"Brother Jun, this is just a small gesture from me!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing Zhang Dabiao's enraged face, Old Lady Su panicked.
Zhang Dabiao gestured with a hand and shouted, "Guards, get these three out of my sight!"
"Yes!"
Two soldiers armed with submachine guns directly approached Old Madam Su and her party.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Expelled by Zhang Dabiao, Su Tianhao and his party were completely flabbergasted.
Seeing this, Ye Fan chuckled, "Oh my! Weren't you three supposed to go in and attend the Marshal's ceremony? How come you have invitations but still can't get in?"
"Ye Fan, you'd better stop with your snide remarks here!"
Holding the invitations but being unable to enter the Marshal's ceremony site, Su Tianhao was already feeling annoyed, and hearing Ye Fan's mockery made him even more upset.
"Granny, what should we do now?" Su Yue asked in confusion.
Old Madam Su's face turned ugly as she said, "Yue'er, quick, get in touch with Young Master Cao Xuan!"
"Right, right, right, I will contact Cao Xuan right away!" Su Yue suddenly realized.
In their eyes, the invitation had been obtained by Cao Xuan, so contacting him would surely be the most effective at this point.
Su Yue immediately called Cao Xuan: "Where are you now? Are the invitations you got for us fake? We are being blocked outside!"
"What? You're blocked outside? Impossible!"
Inside the site of the Marshal's ceremony, receiving the call from Su Yue, Cao Xuan was also stunned.
Normally, holding the invitation would admit three people. How could the Su Family members be stopped outside just like that?
"It's true, Cao Xuan, please hurry over here!" Su Yue urged.
If they couldn't get in today, wouldn't they be laughed to death by Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue?
Cao Xuan, sensing something was amiss, made a quick decision, "Alright, don't panic, I'm coming over now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xuan got up and walked towards the outside of the Warzone.
"Cao Xuan, we are here!"
As soon as Cao Xuan emerged from within the Warzone, Su Yue waved at him.
Seeing Cao Xuan arrive, Su Tianhao glared at Ye Fan with a venomous look and said, "Young Master Cao Xuan is here. His family has connections inside the Warzone; we will enter the ceremony site now, and you two can just stay here and enjoy the Northwest wind!"
"Let me and Ruoxue stay here and enjoy the Northwest wind? Tsk tsk! I am just worried that once Cao Xuan comes out, he won't be able to get back in!" Ye Fan sneered.
Hearing this, Su Yue became furiously embarrassed, "Nonsense! Stop looking down on people with your dog's eyes, and watch how our Cao Xuan will take us inside!"
"Let's go!" Old Madam Su said with a heavy voice.
After coming out, Cao Xuan quickly got a grasp of the situation and brought the three members of Old Madam Su's family to Zhang Dabiao.
He spoke humbly, "Uh, I am Young Master Cao Xuan of the Cao Family, and Deputy Chief Zhou from the Warzone is my uncle. Sir, could you please let me take these three inside?"
"Oh? You're Young Master Cao Xuan of the Cao Family?" Zhang Dabiao said, a bit astonished.
Seeing the reaction, Cao Xuan instantly knew that the other party recognized him, and he was overjoyed in his heart. Indeed, having connections makes things easier; it seemed that his Uncle Deputy Chief Zhou had mentioned him to Zhang Dabiao.
Cao Xuan excitedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm Cao Xuan. Sir, can we go in now?"
"Go in? You still want to go in?"
Upon learning of Cao Xuan's identity, Zhang Dabiao became incensed, "Hey hey hey, what kind of check is this? I already said, both Cao Family and Su Family members are not allowed to enter, how did you let someone from the Cao Family slip through?"
"This..."
Hearing Zhang Dabiao say this, the faces of the other two soldiers responsible for the checks instantly stiffened.
When exactly did Cao Xuan get in, they hadn't even noticed.
Gah!!!
Upon hearing that, Cao Xuan was completely dumbstruck.
Neither Cao Family nor Su Family members are allowed in?
"Sir, are you sure there's no mistake? Cao Family members are also not allowed inside?" Old Madam Su was shocked.
Zhang Dabiao scoffed, "That's right! Neither Cao Family nor Su Family members are allowed inside. You two dolts, go back in and check again. If there are still Cao Family people inside, throw them all out!"
"Throw... them all out?"
Boom!!!
As Zhang Dabiao's words fell, Cao Xuan, Old Madam Su, and the others were struck as if by a thunderbolt, standing there stupefied, their minds completely in disarray.
