Chapter 258 The Wu Family’s Trump Card
Before Su Wu could finish his words, the young general waved his hand and ordered, "Surround them!"
The officers and soldiers who were blocking the gate of the yard rushed in and surrounded the small stone table.
It was surrounded, but it was at least two meters away from the small stone table.
If there were not enough open space around, the officers and soldiers would probably have to move back.
Su Wu suddenly became depressed.
The young general stood far away and continued to shout, "You desperate criminals better surrender quickly, or you will be blamed for the blindness of the sword later!"
"Come on, if you really dare to catch me, why are you standing so far away?" Su Wen shook his head and sighed, then spoke earnestly to the young general, "If I were you, I'd just pretend. If a fight really came, the most we'd get would be charged with more brutal crimes, but you, at least, wouldn't even be able to save your lives."
The young officer's voice grew even louder, and he backed away, speaking sternly. "How dare you! We've been ordered to arrest you, several of you important criminals. As officials in the government, how could we be deceived by your lies? Don't even think about escaping today!"
Sweet Treasure Five, "..."
So they are really acting?
And gave them a way out?
Su An walked out with a dazed look on his face. How bad were their reputations?
The five of them swaggered out of the guest house amid the young general's shouting.
Then he followed Tianbao closely and headed towards the south of the island.
At this moment, the outer island.
In a private room of a teahouse on Huanwaidao Street, distinguished guests from nine countries gathered.
The tea table in front of you is filled with top-quality tea and signature local dim sum.
But no one had an appetite for tea or food.
Several people stood up and stretched their necks to look out the window.
From here you can vaguely see the scenery of the island.
"I don't know what's going on inside. There's no way the people from the government office can capture them. Do you think those people have found Wu Hetai?"
"No matter how big the island is, it's still finite. Unless Wu Hetai and his family run away early, it's only a matter of time before they're found."
"I don't think Wu Hetai will run away. This is the family foundation he built with decades of hard work. If he runs away, will he have a foothold when he comes back? He will only be known as a coward."
"That may not be the case. He can just put the blame on Du Buqin and say that he is temporarily avoiding him because he doesn't want to conflict with his nephew. Who will say anything to him? He can also earn himself a good reputation as a generous brother."
"Hmph, even if he wants to run, he has to be able to. Those five people who came out of the exile area are secretly watching him all the time. Do you think he can move?"
Everyone chatted with each other, but no one mentioned why they left the island early and gathered here.
No one is stupid, and no one will be the one to be taken advantage of.
Knowing that a head-on fight would result in death, who would be willing to rush out and die?
Although they come from various countries, they only do their jobs according to their positions.
Catching wanted criminals is the job of the government.
They were just a group of people who were invited to watch the game. They couldn't risk their lives here and die in a foreign land just to catch someone they couldn't catch.
…
Time passes by little by little.
In the Suoyan Tower on the South Island, Wu Hetai was spinning around in circles, his mouth blisters from anxiety.
Even Old Lady Wu showed signs of panic, let alone the other members of the Wu family.
"Those bastards from the Nine Nations! We clearly agreed to join forces, but when the time came, they ran away first!" Wu Zizhong sat on a wooden chair against the wall, pounding the chair and cursing.
Wu Ziqian's face turned pale. "Not only did they run away, they didn't even leave a single person behind! They're deliberately trying to put our Wu family in danger and force us to reveal our trump card!"
"What's the point of saying this now!" Old Lady Wu shouted, her face stern as she ordered, "Women and children, hide in the secret passage! Ziqian and Zizhong, you go down too! Don't come out if you hear any noise! Tai'er, get everything ready!"
Wu Hetai paused after hearing this and said hesitantly, "Mother, if they really come looking for us, we should use courtesy first and then force. Du Buqin is your son after all. He has been thinking about you all these years. I guess he hasn't changed even now, otherwise he would have had plenty of opportunities to come back for revenge over the years."
“I know what to do!”
The tightly closed door of the Suoyan Tower was slammed open from the outside, scaring the mother and son who were still talking inside so much that their faces turned pale.
Five figures walked in from outside the door against the light.
The Suoyan Tower has five floors and is very quiet at the moment. The only sounds are footsteps and rapid breathing.
There were two people from the Wu family in the lobby on the first floor.
Old Lady Wu stood up from the wooden chair, took two steps forward, and stood in front of Wu Hetai. She stared at the girl in front of her.
She was still dressed as a woman, but the mask on her face had been removed, revealing her true appearance.
But the girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a beautiful face and a pair of deep almond-shaped eyes, but she did not have the youthful innocence that a young girl should have. She was extremely old and calm.
It is this kind of calmness that is extremely inconsistent with his age that is even more frightening.
It seems like she can do anything.
Best not to provoke.
Old Lady Wu's heart sank as she spoke, "You all came to my Kongliu Island to avenge Du Buqin? But doing so will only backfire! Du Buqin respects me as his mother and almost never disobeys me. If you really hurt me, it will only make him feel uncomfortable! Is this what you want?"
Tian Bao took a step forward and said in a calm voice, "I won't kill you."
Old Lady Wu was startled at first, then her expression suddenly changed. "If you dare to hurt my son, I will fight you to the death!"
Wu Hetai's expression also changed drastically. "You and Du Bujin have only been together for a few years? Do you really want to start a war with my Wu family over him? We can both live in peace. Du Bujin can live his life, and we can live ours, without offending each other! Why do you have to go so far and force me like this? What exactly do you want?"
These words actually made the four young men at the back laugh.
Bai Yu, "Living in peace? Not offending each other? How did your Wu family achieve its current prosperity and stability? Has Island Master Wu forgotten? Everything the Wu family has today was built on the pain of my poisonous grandfather!"
Su Wen smiled coldly, "A bunch of shameless and unrepentant bastards!"
Su An chuckled, "Since we can say that we are here to vent our anger for Grandpa Du, we should know what is right and wrong. How can we feel at ease for decades?"
Su Wu clenched his fist and said, "Stop talking nonsense and just fight!"
The five of them moved forward at the same time.
Old Lady Wu and Wu Hetai immediately stepped back quickly, knowing that they could not escape today. Their method of being immune to poison was useless against these people.
Wu Hetai's eyes flashed, and he shouted, "Miao Nu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of dark shadows quickly jumped out from the dark corner above the first floor and outside the door and attacked directly.
The young men exchanged glances quickly and moved towards the Wu family mother and son while fighting.
Bai Yu, "Black clothes, dead fish eyes, boomerang plum blossom darts, it's a living puppet!"
The three Su boys immediately remembered that when they went to Changjing to rescue Uncle Broken Knife, among the people who chased them halfway was this Miao slave who could self-destruct, "Kill him quickly!"
Sweetie, "Hmph."
The girl leaped back and forth to the blind corner of the lobby, with the Moon-Drinking Sword in her hand.
At this moment, outside the Suoyan Tower, I also remembered the high-pitched and rapid flute sound, but unfortunately it was too late.
A bloody mist suddenly rose in the lobby, and the living puppet died before it exploded.
"Hahahaha, don't be so complacent! It's still unknown who will win today!" Wu Hetai saw with his own eyes how the living puppet died, and fear surged in his heart. His eyes turned red, and he smashed the flower vase behind him fiercely.
A crackling sound came from underground.
There was another person who came out at the same time.
Just like that, it pushed through the solid ground and broke out of the earth, like a Shura buried underground, who reappeared after hearing the call and wanted to massacre the world with blood.
