The Chiang family.

Jiang Tiansheng sat on the armchair and drank tea.

As time went by, the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Logically speaking, Jiang Shan should have returned by now.

But now, Jiang Shan still hasn't come back.

"What happened?"

Jiang Tiansheng narrowed his eyes and slowly exerted force on the hand that was holding the purple clay teacup.

He thought about it, put down the purple clay teacup, picked up the phone next to him and made a call.

Beep beep beep.

The call went through, but no one answered.

This made Jiang Tiansheng frown. Why didn't anyone answer the call?

He called Jiang Shan again, but this time the call was not connected at all and could not be connected temporarily.

"Something's really happened."

Jiang Tiansheng's face changed. If nothing happened, it would be impossible for him to not be able to get through to Jiang Shan.

However, Jiang Shan is the Jiang family's best fighter, and also a master of Hua Jin. How could anything happen to him?

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Jiang Tiansheng frowned.

Could it be that the Duanmu family took action?

Apart from the Duanmu family, who else could make Jiang Shan lose contact?

Thinking of this, he slowly narrowed his eyes.

"Is it really the Duanmu family? Duanmu Hai, it's not enough for you to sell out my Jiang family, but you also want to force my Jiang family to death?"

Jiang Tiansheng muttered to himself, his voice cold.

But after thinking about something else, he shook his head again.

If it's not the Duanmu family, then there are only two possibilities.

The imperial court has already taken action against the Jiang family.

But if the imperial court took action, there would be no way that there would be no movement here.

After all, he is still here!

If this possibility is not high, then there is only the last one left.

"Xiao Chen!"

Jiang Tiansheng's eyes flashed. Was he targeting the Jiang family?

"If it's really him, then it makes sense. He has many experts around him..."

Time passed by minute by minute, but Jiang Shan still didn't come back and continued to be out of contact.

The members of the Jiang family seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and no one could be contacted.

Although Jiang Tiansheng wanted to calm down, how could he do that?

"Someone come!"

Jiang Tiansheng growled.

As he finished speaking, a person came in from outside.

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Go to Pier 9 and see what's going on there. Report to me by phone!"

Jiang Tiansheng looked at the man and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, old man."

The man nodded and turned to leave.

About half an hour later, Jiang Tiansheng received a call.

Something happened at Pier 9!

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Tiansheng's hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

Although he had expected this, he still found it hard to accept the news.

He had arranged it very secretly, yet he was still discovered?

"How could Xiao Chen find out so much by himself... It seems that the Bai family is also involved!"

Jiang Tiansheng sat on the armchair, his old face looked ugly and his breathing was a little difficult.

With trembling hands, he took out a pill and put it into his mouth.

After a long while, his complexion returned to normal and regained color.

"Since you want to wipe out the Jiang family, then tomorrow... I will meet you old friends!"

Jiang Tiansheng's right hand slammed heavily on the armrest of the armchair, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Xiao Yu, the future of the Jiang family depends on you!"

…

After detaining all the members of the Jiang family, Xiao Chen did not return to the villa. He asked Bai Ye to arrange a place for him to start recuperating.

This injury is really too serious.

In fact, the injuries were more serious than those in the previous battle with the bearded man.

"Fuck it! When did there become so many masters of Hua Jin? I only meet masters of Hua Jin. Fuck!"

Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the carpet, took out the Nine Flame Mysterious Needle, and stabbed it into the nine life and death acupoints on his chest.

As it pierced into the body, the Nine Flames Mysterious Needle began to tremble slightly, and waves of warmth spread from it.

At the same time, Xiao Chen also swallowed two pills and practiced ancient martial arts techniques to heal himself.

Soon, he entered a state of ecstasy.

The injury on his chest was gradually recovering with the treatment of the Nine Flames Mysterious Needles and his mental method.

His face, which was as pale as paper, now had a little bit of color.

Time... passed in a flash, and it was dawn.

At about five o'clock, Xiao Chen opened his eyes.

He felt it and was quite satisfied.

It's about 30% better now. Although I can't do any strenuous movements, it doesn't matter if I walk or something like that.

"I have to find some time to prepare some more medicine. I can't afford to be injured all day long."

Xiao Chen muttered, pulled out the Nine Flames Mysterious Needle from his chest, and slowly stood up.

Then he called Bai Ye.

"Hey, Xiaobai, are you up?"

"Just woke up, what happened?"

"Have someone send me a set of clothes."

"good."

After Xiao Chen hung up the phone, he called Su Qing again.

Before he could finish, there was a knock on the door.

"That's it for now, we'll talk about it when we meet later."

Xiao Chen said to Su Qing.

"good."

Su Qing agreed.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen hung up the phone, opened the door, and saw Bai Ye standing outside.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Chen looked at Bai Ye, somewhat surprised.

"I'm sending you some clothes, how about that?"

Bai Ye handed the clothes in his hand to Xiao Chen.

"Yeah, it's OK."

Xiao Chen nodded and put it on the sofa.

"Brother Chen, what do you think will be the content of today's five-year conference?"

Bai Ye sat down and asked.

"I don't know. Lin Nan is in charge... The biggest beneficiary this time is the imperial court."

Xiao Chen handed Bai Ye a cigarette and lit one for himself.

"We are all just pawns of the court."

"No, you're not a pawn."

Bai Ye looked at Xiao Chen and shook his head.

"Hmm? Then what am I? You see, we have been busy for so many days. The court eats meat, and we just drink some soup."

Xiao Chen shrugged and said.

"You are a knife of the court."

Bai Ye grinned.

"Look, if you weren't here, it would take at least two more five-year periods for the imperial court to take action against Longhai... The first five years are to lay out the plan and support the three forces of the Zhao family. The second five years are to reshuffle the cards and allow the three forces of the Zhao family to be among the seven major families. The third five years will be the time to compete with the Duanmu family..."

"You see it very clearly."

Xiao Chen looked at Bai Ye and said.

"Haha, it's okay."

Bai Ye smiled proudly.

"I'm not just a playboy, I have brains too, buddy."

"Well, as long as you have brains."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Brother Chen, the Jiang family is finished. Will the structure of the seven major families also change? I don't know if the court will move against the Ouyang family again. If the Ouyang family is destroyed again, there will only be five major families left."

Bai Ye said while smoking a cigarette.

"Haha, are you really thinking about destroying the Ouyang family as well?"

Xiao Chen smiled.

"No, I just don't like that guy Xi Du."

Bai Ye shook his head.

"The imperial court has eaten a lot of meat this time. I guess they won't touch the Ouyang family for the time being. Too much can't be digested...Eating too much meat also needs to be digested! The seven major families have controlled Longhai for so many years. If they really want to make drastic changes, the impact will still be huge."

Xiao Chen said slowly.

"That's true."

Bai Ye nodded.

"It seems that the Jiang family is unlucky this time."

"Um."

"That's the six major families."

"Well, the century-old structure of the seven major families must be changed."

"What about the three gangs? Will there be any changes?"

“This shouldn’t happen.”

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"I helped the court this time, which can be regarded as a golden ticket for Longmen to avoid death. As long as Longmen does not commit suicide, the court will not touch Longmen... The pattern of the underground world being divided into three parts has been formed."

"No, it's not about dividing the world into three parts, but the underground world of Longhai will all belong to you."

Bai Ye chuckled.

"Don't the Qing Gang and the Hongmen respect you?"

"Not by me, but by Qinghong Order."

"Almost the same. If someone else holds the Qinghong Order, what will happen? Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie are both heroes. They won't be soft-hearted."

"hehe."

Xiao Chen smiled and said, that’s true.

If someone else held the Qinghong Order, there would probably be only two possibilities.

One is to become a puppet and be controlled by one of the parties.

And the other thing... is the grass on the grave, which may have grown very tall.

Or, there is not even a grave, as it has been eaten by wild dogs or turned into fish food.

After the two chatted for a few words, Bai Ye left.

Xiao Chen took a shower, washed up briefly, and changed into new clothes.

Then he left the room and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Just as he was eating, Lin Nan called.

"Hey, Brother Xiao, congratulations."

As soon as the call was connected, Lin Nan's voice came over.

"Hmm? Congratulations? Congratulations on what?"

Xiao Chen was stunned, feeling a little strange.

"Well, congratulations on being praised by that person."

Lin Nan coughed dryly and said.

"Forehead……"

Xiao Chen was a little speechless. What was there to congratulate?

A man as outstanding as him has received so many compliments.

"Brother Xiao, I heard that there was a lot of commotion at Pier 9 last night."

After a few pleasantries, Lin Nan changed the subject and said.

"Haha, did you get the news?"

Xiao Chen chuckled.

"Brother Lin, don't beat around the bush. The Jiang family's people are all in my hands. You can take them away at any time."

"Hahaha, okay, that's what I mean."

Lin Nan laughed.

"Brother Xiao, you did a good job. That person just called me and praised you."

"Why did you come back again?"

Xiao Chen curled his lips.

"Brother Lin, you know I'm a more realistic person... That person didn't give me anything substantial besides verbal praise? For example, giving me a bonus of several hundred million or something?"

"How many hundreds of millions of bonuses?"

Lin Nan was a little speechless.

"Brother Xiao, you are so vulgar..."

"I can't help it. I'm just an ordinary person."

Xiao Chen drank some milk.

"Okay, okay, I like ordinary people... Brother Xiao, don't worry, that person didn't treat you unfairly. You will know when the time comes. It is more real than a few hundred million bonus."

Lin Nan said mysteriously.

"Oh? What's that? They sent me ten beauties?"

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up slightly.

“…”

Lin Nan didn't know what to say.

"Brother Lin, stop talking nonsense. What exactly is the reward?"

Xiao Chen was a little curious. The meat was eaten by the imperial court, but he wondered what the soup was?
