Xue Wanqing started crying again, and then told the whole story about how the Xue family and Fu Tingshen wanted to frame him. He spoke with tears streaming down his face, which was quite touching.
The old general nodded. Although he didn't have a good impression of Xue Wanqing, as Zhan Siyu had said, he was a witness.
Since Xue Wanqing can testify as a witness about Fu Tingshen and the Xue family's various actions, she naturally has the value of being protected.
"Pei Jun, take this Miss Xue inside first. Remember to send two trustworthy people to keep an eye on her. Under no circumstances should she die!" the old general said.
Pei Jun quickly arranged for two of his brothers to take Xue Wanqing away and place her in a cell with a higher security level.
After Xue Wanqing was taken away, Nan Xiangwan finally felt relieved.
The two most critical things right now are dealing with Li Qingshui and keeping Xue Wanqing alive.
After Li Qingshui was dealt with, their Happiness Community became impregnable, and there would be no more traitors.
By having the old general protect Xue Wanqing, the matter of the seven major families and the interstellar magical beasts naturally had a true witness, and the old general's actions were perfectly logical.
"Come in and have a cup of tea. You must be very busy lately, so please don't stand outside!"
"I have something else to discuss with you, regarding our military's upcoming operations!" the old general said.
Nan Xiangwan, Zhan Siyu, and Nangong Chen exchanged glances and finally nodded to each other.
Now that the Ye family is struggling to survive, he has to contend with seven families at the same time, so there are some things the old general can't entrust to Old Master Ye.
The seven families have now united to prevent the old general from suddenly attacking them.
In that case, the only people the old general can turn to are Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu.
Upon arriving at the reception room, the old general began discussing with them the matter of witness Xue Wanqing.
"Even without Xue Wanqing, other families will find other scapegoats; they will definitely push someone else out!"
"So even if Xue Wanqing is brought to the military base, the seven major families will still take action!" the old general said.
Zhan Siyu certainly knew this; Xue Wanqing was not the key to breaking the deadlock this time.
Nan Xiangwan said, "Xue Wanqing is not important to the Xue family and the Hua family. What's important is that he is a witness!"
His words summarized Xue Wanqing's role very well, and the old general nodded in appreciation.
With this witness, the seven major families would have no way to renege on their debt, which coincided with the old general's thoughts.
Their thoughts were actually in agreement, but for some reason, the old general suddenly sighed.
Nan Xiangwan frowned again. Was what they said wrong?
"General, why are you sighing?" Nan Xiangwan asked.
The old general laughed and said, "You don't need to be so nervous. I'm just very impressed that Pei Jun has such good insight. He already knew that you were on the same side as us, but I'm only realizing it now!"
“Miss Nan, I’ve always been wary of you, but I never expected that we would end up joining forces.”
Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan laughed at the same time. There might have been some misunderstandings in the past, but such situations were inevitable. The most important thing is what to do in the future.
It's normal for the old general to be wary of them, given the unusual circumstances.
Nan Xiangwan never demanded that the old general trust them from the beginning. Wasn't it the best outcome to gradually build trust step by step?
“There may have been a lot of misunderstandings in the past, but what matters is the future, isn’t it?” Nan Xiangwan said.
The old general suddenly burst into laughter, seemingly finding Nan Xiangwan's words quite reasonable.
"You're absolutely right! You young people are truly promising. That's right, the most important thing is the future!"
"After this matter is resolved, I would like to learn your tea ceremony, just like that old man Ye. To be honest, once you've tasted tea, you really can't forget it!"
"And there's the food, the potted plants—I've only had a superficial understanding of these things. No wonder you want the culture of the Blue Planet to continue here; it truly is a beautiful culture!"
The old general was quite emotional, as he had previously refused to acknowledge these things.
But now, the old general has no choice but to admit it; the two sides must be completely honest with each other for any chance of success.
Ouyang Qian and Nan Haochen also smiled happily. They had finally changed the prejudice of the people of Water Blue Star through their own efforts.
Although many people still misunderstand them, they believe that more and more people, like the old general, will believe in them.
At this moment, Pei Jun walked in, breaking the wonderful atmosphere.
"What's wrong? Has everything been arranged?" the old general asked.
Pei Jun nodded quickly and said, "We just received news that the Xue family seems to be packing their things and running away!"
"I feel like the operation is about to begin, otherwise we won't be able to capture the Hua family!"
The old general sneered and said, "Run away? Where can he run to?"
"These seven families are indeed arrogant. I haven't interfered with the business dealings between the eight families for so many years. Do they really think they have all the power and influence?"
"Trying to run? I can dig them out of any corner of Rose Star!"
The old general stood up; it seemed the operation to capture the seven major families was about to begin.
It was definitely inconvenient for Nan Xiangwan and his group to participate in this operation, since it was a mistake made by the seven major families and should not be handled by the people of Xingfu Community.
"Then we'll head back first!" Zhan Siyu said.
The old general had someone escort me out. When we reached the entrance of the military base, they discovered that the troops had already assembled.
"I didn't expect them to gather so many troops!" Nan Haochen said.
Such a large and impressive army is indeed surprising; it seems the old general is truly serious.
"It's understandable that the old general is taking this seriously after the seven major families did something like this. The military base has always been responsible for protecting the safety of Rose Star, and those who undermine this security should indeed be punished, even if they are from these seven families!"
"Let's go back to Happiness Community. Have the superhumans increase their vigilance. We should try to stay home for the next couple of days!"
A dramatic change is about to occur on Rose Star. Before this major upheaval is resolved, the residents of Happiness Community should avoid entering the center of this conflict, otherwise the consequences could be unpredictable.
