"Grandma, I need to talk to Father about something. Could you call him for me?"
Gu Nanxun said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go make the call for you. Old man, come down quickly, Nanxun and Jinxiang are here."
As Liu Xiuyun walked towards the phone, she called out to the bedroom next door.
"Nanxun and Jinxiang are back."
Upon hearing Liu Xiuyun's words, Chen Guozhong came out of the bedroom and asked Gu Nanxun and Zhao Jinxiang to greet him.
"Nanxun, Jinxiang, what happened?"
Chen Guozhong reached out and poured a cup of tea for each of them, then asked.
"It's something that concerns the Lin family. Let's talk about it when Father gets back!"
Gu Nanxun accepted the tea his grandfather poured for him with both hands, and then said with a smile.
"It's related to the Lin family... well, we'll have to wait for your father to return."
Upon hearing that it was related to the Lin family, Chen Guozhong sat up straight. His family and the Lin family were the biggest rivals, like oil and water, and had been fighting for decades.
...
Chen Jianjun was working when he suddenly received a call from his mother. When he learned that Gu Nanxun and Zhao Jinxiang had come to his house to see him, he immediately made an excuse and drove home.
"Nanxun, Jinxiang, what happened that you came to see me today?"
As soon as Chen Jianjun entered the house, he couldn't wait to ask.
"Father, this is what happened..."
Then Gu Nanxun recounted to Chen Jianjun everything that had happened during this period, as well as everything that he and his uncle had investigated.
Chen Jianjun didn't speak upon hearing this. He tapped his hand on the table repeatedly. After a long while, he looked up at Gu Nanxun and asked, "Is the hypnosis method you mentioned reliable?"
The hypnosis method Chen Jianjun mentioned refers to Lin Qing's True Word Pill. Gu Nanxun did not tell Chen Jianjun about the True Word Pill, but instead said that he could hypnotize people.
Gu Nanxun nodded upon hearing this, "I've already tried it, and it really works. Moreover, he had no memory of it afterward."
"Then let's do it as soon as possible! The sooner the better. If that old fox surnamed Lin has already prepared for it, I'm afraid..."
Chen Jianjun didn't say what he was going to say next, but everyone understood. After all, someone who could fight against his family for decades was no ordinary person.
After Chen Jianjun finished speaking, he started banging on the table again. He was actually a little excited. If that old fox really made such a mistake, then this time there might be a chance to wipe him out in one fell swoop. In that case, the knife hanging over the Chen family's heads could also be removed, and they would have no more worries.
"Do you have enough manpower? Do you need my help?"
Chen Jianjun said with a serious expression.
Gu Nanxun shook his head. "You guys take some men and keep watch outside. I'll go in alone and hypnotize him first. If I confirm there's a problem, I'll give you a signal, and then you can come in and arrest him directly! To prevent the Lin family from escaping, the two-pronged arrest must be carried out simultaneously."
"Okay, I'll go and get the people right away. We'll take action tonight."
Chen Jianjun slammed his hand on the table and then said.
“Father, let me switch the seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning! If you have people in the shadows, you can call them. These past few days, my uncle and I have had a feeling that we were being followed. I’m afraid that the fact that I’m going home today and you’re coming back to see me will have been exposed. If you go and call people, and the other side finds out, they might notice.”
They could have quietly returned at night, but considering that the other party had already become suspicious of him these past few days, and that his father was probably under their surveillance as well, they decided to return home openly.
“In spring, summer, autumn and winter, they can come out after the dormitory lights are turned off at night. After all, they are now officially recognized as people who have followed you.”
Zhao Jinxiang reminded him.
Gu Nanxun nodded, and then mentally notified Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning through the contract.
As night fell, Gu Nanxun and Zhao Jinxiang meticulously planned the details of their operation in the Chen family's living room. Meanwhile, Chen Jianjun, in his study, secretly mobilized his men, preparing for the night's operation. They knew this operation had to be a resounding success; otherwise, failure would prepare the enemy for a future attack, making it difficult to find another opportunity.
At 10:30 PM, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning silently arrived at the Chen family's residence. They were originally elites carefully cultivated by Zhao Jinxiang, each undergoing rigorous training and skilled in covert operations. In recent years, they had further honed their abilities by learning from Gu Nanxun and continuously utilizing the spiritual spring water and grains from the spatial storage, becoming even more exceptional.
At 11 p.m., Chen Jianjun had arranged the manpower. Gu Nanxun, along with Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, quietly left the Chen family. They split into groups and went to their designated locations.
Gu Nanxun and Zhao Jinxiang took Zhao Xia to the principal's house, while another team, led by Chun, Qiu, Hefeng, and Yu, quietly surrounded the Lin family. Chen Jianjun did not show himself; all the people he sent were his own undercover agents, a backup plan they had left for the Chen family.
Meanwhile, Zhao Dong, Lei, and Dian led a team to quietly surround the Lin family's external forces.
It was late at night when Gu Nanxun and his group arrived at the outskirts of the principal's house. Gu Nanxun had his uncle and Zhao Xia hide around the principal's house, while he quietly entered. He first used sleeping gas to knock out everyone in the principal's house, then dissolved the True Word Pill in water and poured it into the principal's mouth, before waking the principal up.
After the principal woke up, Gu Nanxun began to ask questions. Under the influence of the True Word Pill, the principal revealed a series of shocking inside stories without reservation.
After listening, Gu Nanxun sent out a signal flare without hesitation and mentally notified Zhao Chun and Zhao Xia to take action through the contract.
Zhao Jinxiang and Zhao Xia, who were waiting outside, rushed into the principal's house as soon as they saw the signal flare in the sky. Everyone in the principal's house was arrested in their sleep.
Following the principal's instructions, Gu Nanxun and his men went to the basement and found all the bills, lists, and evidence related to the Lin family.
...
On the other side, Zhao Chun led the group to the main building of the Lin family. They quietly surrounded the study of the Lin family patriarch and all other places.
After receiving Gu Nanxun's signal, Zhao Chun first lit sleeping powder around the Lin family's residence. Inside the study, the Lin family head was sitting at his desk, not yet resting, when he suddenly smelled a strange odor. Before he could identify what the odor was, he fainted at the desk.
