Chapter 173 That Action
"Let's fight one on one, who's afraid of who?"
Zhang Hailou sneered, his fighting spirit high, while Zhang Haixia beside him had an unhappy look on his face and wanted to stop him.
Seeing that several more people from the overseas Zhang family were coming over one after another, he was a little worried that if Zhang Hailou continued to say this, they would be beaten up.
After all, this is someone else's territory. Although the people who came here are all masters, there are not many of them, and they will definitely suffer losses if a fight breaks out.
“Don’t…”
Before Zhang Haixia could finish his words of advice, Zhang Hailou turned around and spoke to the people behind him.
"Did you all hear that? Zhang Haike wants to challenge us one-on-one."
"Bah! You're trash, I can't afford to play with you! How can one person take on a group of people alone?"
Zhang Haike rolled his eyes and expressed his disdain for Zhang Hailou's behavior.
“Isn’t it available now~”
Zhang Hailou didn't feel that his face was damaged at all.
Are you kidding? Zhang Hailou relies on shamelessness to survive in this world!
"You don't even dare to do it in a one-on-one situation. Are you afraid?"
"Are you trying to provoke me? I've seen through your tricks and won't do what you want. After all, I have so many people under my command. Do you think you can challenge me just because you want to?"
Zhang Hailou raised his eyebrows, patted Zhang Haixia's shoulder hard, and spoke in a high-spirited tone.
"Little Shrimp, come on! Teach him a lesson."
When his private nickname was spoken in front of so many people, Zhang Haixia instantly didn't want to give him face anymore and spoke directly with an expressionless face.
"No, they have more people and we can't defeat them."
The smile on Zhang Hailou's face froze. He turned around and looked at Zhang Haixia in disbelief. His resentful expression made him look like a young widow whose lover had just died.
Zhang Haike was about to say something else when Zhang Ben quietly lowered his crossed legs and sat up straight.
He placed the teacup in his hand on the table, and the porcelain cup collided with the table, making a crisp sound. Although it was very light, it made the scene quiet in an instant.
Zhang Haike and his group knew that this big guy would never force them unless he took action, so they were afraid that he would teach them a lesson, so they were extremely obedient.
Although Zhang Hailou and his companions had never been beaten, they had known about the miserable plight of Zhang Haike and his companions beforehand. Of course, they would not deliberately provoke Zhang Benan and try to see how many blows they could withstand.
"Zhang Hailou."
Zhang Ben'an's clear, emotionless gaze fell on Zhang Hailou, making him subconsciously stand up straight.
"What do you think of the patriarch?"
This sentence was naturally not really asking for his opinion, but asking why the Zhang family in Hong Kong and Taiwan did not go to find Zhang Qiling.
While asking the question, Zhang Ben'an raised his eyes and stared at him, and released his blood pressure. The power of the highly concentrated black unicorn blood, coupled with the deterrence deliberately deepened by spiritual power, made the people standing there instantly feel as if they were in the deep sea.
Not only did they feel a daunting pressure that made them feel like they were being stabbed in the back, but the air around them also seemed to grow thicker, making breathing labored, and a faint feeling of suffocation washed over them in waves.
Zhang Hailou, who was at the center of the pressure, was even more embarrassed. Cold sweat instantly soaked his back, his mind went blank, and he completely forgot all the well-thought-out excuses he had prepared. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhang Benan frowned impatiently and responded with his eyes to Zhang Haiqing, who had been trying to reduce his presence since he came in.
"You say it."
Compared to the Qiongqi lineage who were being targeted and oppressed to the point of being breathless, the little Qilin, who shared the same blood with them, also felt a little uncomfortable, but because of the blood connection, they were in much better condition.
Zhang Haiqing felt this friendly yet majestic atmosphere. Although he felt that he had not done anything wrong, he still inexplicably felt like he was caught doing something bad.
He lowered his head and spoke in a soft voice.
"After the Zhang family was disbanded, Zhang Rishan tricked the clan leader into avoiding our sight and participated in the military's human experiments on his own. Due to insufficient information and those people's intentional cover-up, he changed positions many times.
It was not until several years later that we found the final location, and a team of thirteen people led by Zhang Ruiyu and Zhang Ruiqi went to rescue them.
Others involved in the rescue included Zhang Ruiliu and Zhang Haiping from the overseas Zhang family, as well as Zhang Shengyi, Zhang Ruidai, and Zhang Ruihe, members of the Zhang family who were living abroad, and Qi Mo, a friend of the clan leader and a person of another surname.
The last person was probably using a pseudonym. Based on the information we had at the time, he was probably a member of the Mongolian Banner, but his specific identity was not found.”
The organizer of that action was the Zhang family from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Zhang Benan didn't find much relevant information from Zhang Haike, so he only knew a general idea.
"The final result was that the entire army was almost annihilated. Only three people, including the clan leader, escaped. Ten people were captured, and seven were killed in battle.
However, the clan leader was in a very bad state after being rescued, and there were pursuers behind him. In order to conceal his whereabouts, he was temporarily handed over to Qi Mo's care while another person who escaped led the pursuers away.
Twenty people fought against the military to get people out of a highly confidential laboratory, and the battle was brutal.
"You didn't go to support them? Also, are you sure they were government officials?"
Zhang Benan narrowed his eyes and asked.
These two issues are very important, as they relate to the Zhang family’s future attitude towards the Qiongqi lineage and their attitude towards the government.
"The people we sent to support were sniped along the way. We split our forces into three groups. One group encountered the Wang family, and the other two groups encountered foreign forces. They had planned this in advance and were waiting for us along the way.
I suspect the Wang family is using someone else's knife to kill us, but how they calculated our route is a mystery. The route is random and determined by the leader."
The first question was easy to answer, but he was not very clear about the second question. Zhang Haiqing hesitated for a moment and could only give an inference in the end.
"It's likely that they were officials at the time, but the party disputes at the time were very serious, and the Wang family was accustomed to instigating others, so they probably have little to do with the current government.
According to the information passed on at the time, the person in charge of that base is likely a member of the Wang family. Even if not, he must have a close relationship with the Wang family and have a close interest in them. "
"continue."
Zhang Benan's face showed no emotion, and he spoke lightly.
"After the clan leader was rescued, the base was abandoned. We tried to bring him back, but each time we did, we lost people. He either escaped injured or was killed and taken away by the Wang family.
They all seem to be specially trained killers, without any special bloodlines, but there are too many of them and we can't defeat them.
Later, Brother Zhang Hailou suggested that our people go from being in the open to being in the dark, and only provide help to the clan leader when necessary. Qi Mo also knew about this matter. He is still with the clan leader and his alias is Hei Xia Zi.
The Wang family seems to have something that can detect blood. If people like us get slightly injured over there, they will smell the scent and come over, targeting us and pestering us.
Therefore, the people who are going to take over now are all outsiders without special bloodlines, and they will try their best to distance themselves from us."
After saying everything he wanted to say in one breath, Zhang Haiqing held his breath and began to wait for the final judgment.
After a while, Zhang Ben'an withdrew her aura, leaned back in her chair casually, pushed the teacup on the table, and signaled Zhang Haishe, who had been standing beside her, to pour another cup of tea.
"I have a rough idea of the situation over there. Later, you and Zhang Haike will take stock of the various resources under your command and submit a report to me. The rest can be sent to this email."
Zhang Benan took out a piece of paper he had written in advance from his arms, on which was written Zhang Qiling's email address.
"After that, get ready. Elder Zhang Molan will be here soon to investigate and will be responsible for organizing the rescue of our tribesmen. After this rescue operation, you will return to the mainland in batches to meet with the tribe leader and Elder Zhang Moyu."
The meaning of Zhang Benan's words was obvious; he had already acknowledged them.
After this operation, going back to see the clan leader will be considered as reuniting with our ancestors, and by then the Zhang family should be able to get back on track.
Thinking that the Zhang family would have to rely on these people in front of him to maintain their appearance in the short term, Zhang Ben'an suddenly felt a headache.
None of these little guys seem reliable, and their abilities are extremely poor. They are all stupid and it is difficult for her to teach them.
Forget it, these things are not within her management scope, so just leave them to the elders to worry about.
After reasonably shifting the blame, Zhang Ben'an felt that her mood had improved a lot. Drinking the tea that Zhang Haishe had brewed again, she felt that she was indeed more suitable to sit in the house and handle clan affairs. It was too tiring to run around.
