After hanging up the phone, Lu Chenbing couldn’t help but rub his temples and whispered, “An earthquake is coming... ”
Sure enough, an earthquake struck Zhonghai like a sudden deluge. A multitude of police cars were deployed, sirens wailing all along the way.
The War Wolf Squad was also fully engaged in the mission.
Initially, many citizens didn’t take the sound of sirens seriously, but as they learned that numerous police cars were heading in the same direction, they realized something significant was about to happen.
As for what that significant event was, they couldn’t possibly know.
Even many of the police officers involved in the dispatch didn’t understand the specifics, merely knowing that the city had activated a level one emergency response due to a major incident.
...
Some Ancient Martial Artists, noticing that something was amiss, made calls to acquaintances within the system, but the only clue they received was that all the police cars were converging on one destination—the Qin Family.
In no time, the word spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, as numerous Ancient Martial Artists gathered in groups and followed by car to watch the spectacle.
Meanwhile, Lu Chenbing arrived at the leader’s house on time, staying for less than ten minutes. Although it was unclear what the two discussed, Chenbing instructed the driver upon returning to the car, “Go to the Qin Family.”
Xu Fan gave Ben Ben a bath and visited Ye Xiaoning, taking up nearly half an hour of his time.
He then said to Xu Yixue, “You keep an eye on things here, I need to step out for a bit.”
Xu Yixue had a hunch about what Xu Fan was about to do. Her eyes misted with worry as she said, “Be careful.”
“I know,” Xu Fan replied with a light and breezy smile.
Today’s event had frightened everyone; Xu Fan really wanted to stay with them all.
But if he didn’t completely eradicate the impending threat, there could be no peaceful and tranquil life in the future.
As a man, he would bear the responsibility of being the cornerstone of the family, clearing the path of any obstacles so he could better protect and safeguard them all.
Seeing her concern, Xu Fan tried to reassure her, “Nothing will go wrong, trust me. Besides, with you and Tongtong here, how could I bear to let anything happen to me?”
“Then... for Tongtong and me, you must come back safely,” Xu Yixue stood up, hugging Xu Fan’s sturdy back tightly, her head buried in his chest as she spoke softly.
“I promise you,” Xu Fan said, stroking her smooth, black hair, nodding in response.
She guessed that even if she were lucky enough to escape alive this time, she would be plagued by demons, as her martial heart had been shattered by Xu Fan, making any further progress in her cultivation extremely difficult.
However anxious and panicked she was inside, she had to keep it to herself. If anyone in the Qin Family noticed something was wrong, they might just rip off the mask and hand her over to settle the matter.
Actually, the Qin Family had already been suspicious. Four people had gone out, but only Lei Fei came back, and shortly after her return, the estate was surrounded by police.
However, intimidated by the notorious reputation of the Black Blade Organization, they still dared not act rashly, unless they confirmed that the other three were dead.
Signal jammers had already been deployed around the Qin Family estate, with every access point blocked, allowing exit but not entry, effectively cutting off all channels of communication.
It wasn’t long before the Qin Family was completely isolated.
All unrelated people nearby had been evacuated, leaving only the police. No other figures were visible, and the ancient martial artists who had followed were also intercepted outside the blockade.
Inside the estate, the Qin Family members still had no idea why the police had come.
Qin Haowu continuously tried to contact his father, Qin Dongyue, via mobile phone, but the signal was jammed, rendering his efforts futile. He could only look to his uncle, Qin Xiyue, for a decision.
“Uncle, please say something,” he urged.
But as soon as he spoke, Qin Xiyue raised his hand to interrupt him, chastising with a cold voice, “Xiao Wu, why the panic? This is just a small situation. The Qin Family’s future is yours to command. If you can’t even maintain composure in such circumstances, how will you manage the vast Qin Family? Remember, ‘one should remain unfazed even if Mount Tai collapses before them, and unmoved even as herds of deer frolic nearby.’
“Besides, as long as my elder brother remains in power, our Qin Family can withstand any storm. Plus, our family is a major taxpayer; I believe they won’t mess around without good reason.”
“Your current task, aside from contacting elder brother to understand the situation, is to seek help from other allied families and also to find Xiao Wen. At such a crucial time, he’s still indulging in pleasure outside, gallivanting aimlessly. Such a wastrel is far too willful.”
Though Qin Xiyue was committed to his martial path and seldom involved in family affairs, when it was time for him to step up, he would not shy away.
Hearing this, Qin Haowu breathed a sigh of relief and promptly set out to handle the tasks his uncle had assigned to him.
Suddenly, a man barged into the living room recklessly, yelling with a panicked face, “Uncle, something terrible has happened.”
“Calm down and wipe that deathly look off your face. What’s there to panic about?” Qin Xiyue scolded with a frown and then demanded, “Speak, what’s happened?”
Shaking like a sieve, the man stuttered, “Uncle, it seems... we’re about to collapse!”
“Nonsense, what are you blabbering about!”
Qin Xiyue, enraged and his chest heaving, slapped the armrest, exuding the astonishing presence of a Qi Drawing Realm ancient martial artist, and bellowed, “Talk nonsense again, and I’ll break your legs.”
“Uncle, killing me won’t change anything, the situation is that severe,” the man replied, his face drained of color, yet he still clenched his teeth and persisted, “Uncle, the news I got is that a man named Xu Wufang is set on eradicating the Qin Family.”
