Chapter 115

Councilor Wu called Yue Xing Ran as Bai Zihan was yelling, “Grandpa, cousin, what are you doing?”

“Yes, just shout like that!” Wu Chao Yi murmured.

Bai Zihan was terrified.

After Yue Xing Ran answered the communication, he saw the scene of him crying in fear.

Naturally, he was not distressed, and it was good enough that he did not laugh. Yue Xing Ran looked at Councilor Wu and said, “What, do you want to finally repent for what happened back then?”

But Councilor Wu didn’t even change his face, he just said, “Look who’s here.”

Of course, Yue Xing Ran saw that it was Bai Zihan.

“So?”

“He is the bloodline of your Yue family, the only bloodline left.” Councilor Wu said with a change of expression, saying in a cold voice, “If you still want him to live, you’d better help me.”

Yue Xing Ran almost laughed, “He is your own grandson.”

“I have a grandson, as well as grandsons. My Wu family is full of people. There is no shortage of grandsons, ” Councilor Wu said, “But your Yue family is different. Your Yue family has only one offspring.”

He waited for Yue Xing Ran to refute, but then he heard Yue Xing Ran sigh and say,

“Sure enough, even this is within your calculations.”

Back then, when the family was in trouble, he was still young, and it would be appropriate to say that he knew anything. But what he did know was enough to cope with the situation at that time.

Although some of the old members of the Yue family soon came back to protect him, they were a step too late.

Everyone thought that the Wu family kept him because they didn’t see him as a threat, while others thought that the Wu family was too late, or that they were afraid that things would become too obvious, or that his men had returned just in time.

But it was neither. The Wu family had already made their move.

They had damaged his body. Nothing more, except that he could not have any more children.

At his words, Councilor Wu, who froze for a moment, said, “You already know?”

“That’s right. Lu Bo Ting has taken so much evidence, naturally he can’t wait to show it to you. ”

Yet Shi Nian knew that this was not what they were talking about.

Over the years, the Wu family has done so many evil things. The records of that underground research institute were even longer. Lu Bo Ting and the others had only skimmed through some of the important ones, such as Marshal Yue and Empress Yan.

They hadn’t even thought that the Wu family had made a move against Yue Xing Ran.

Only now did they realize that there was actually such a thing.

The medicine they gave to Yue Xing Ran back then did not have any other side effects on the body and was better than the ligation surgery used in the old days. One could be discharged the same day and go to work the next day without any problems. The Wu family’s medicine was silent and irreversible.

Yue Xing Ran was so young and in the middle of grief that he could not have reacted as quickly even if he had found he was unwell.

Moreover, he was not old enough, and unmarried. He had not yet reached the time when he suspected that he could not have children.

Shi Nian could not help but take another look at Yue Xing Ran, thinking that it seemed the Wu family had underestimated him all these years.

After all, from the looks of it, he himself had known that something was wrong with his health for a long time.

had kept quiet until this moment.

The Wu family’s aim was also very simple. They did not kill Yue Xing Ran off and let those old minions continue to embrace him, not because they couldn’t do anything more desperate at the time, but for today.

Once something happened, they could still, for example, Yue Xing Ran’s identity as a descendant of the Yue family.

Councilor Wu stood there with a confident face, while Wu Chao Yi walked over to Bai Zihan with a sharp knife in his hand.

“Yue Xing Ran.” Wu Chao Yi said, “Do as we say, or else there will really be no one left in the Yue family.”

Yue Xing Ran looked at them and said, “It has come to this; the Wu family is now beyond the help of the gods. What else can I do?”

Councilor Wu said, “Within the Wu Family Legion, there are still many old people from the former Yue Family.”

Yue Xing Ran said with understanding, “You are keeping me in case you need my identity in the end. And Bai Zihan, will be my restraint? ”

Bai Zihan was so frightened by the sharp knife erected in front of him that his eyes widened and he only knew how to shout, “Save me, save me!”

Yue Xing Ran gave him a look, but his eyes were devoid of heartache and worry, and he simply said, “You are holding his life hostage and trying to get me to step in.”

“That’s right.” Wu Chao Yi said, “You can only do what we say, unless you want to make your Yue family extinct.”

“We were the ones who kept you alive back then, so that your Yue family would continue. To put it mildly, you should also thank us.” Councilor Wu shamelessly said this before continuing, “In fact, my request is not too much, as long as you step in to convince them to relax and let some people out.”

Yue Xing Ran: “It’s useless even if I’m willing. The Lu and Kang families are watching. ”

“Then it’s up to Major General Yue to figure it out.” Wu Chao Yi said, “It is said that you have been close to the Lu family for some time, so you are trusted…”

Yue Xing Ran suddenly laughed.

“No wonder.”

Wu Chao Yi: “No wonder what?”

“No wonder that all these years, even though I know I don’t have enough power in my hands and have been trying to cooperate with Marshal Lu, he was neither cold nor warm and had no intention of cooperating intimately.”

Yue Xing Ran thought; As expected of someone who could manage such a large legion at such a young age, he was indeed cautious in matters of great importance.

Lu Bo Ting might not have known so much, and he didn’t even know Bai Zihan’s true paternity, yet he knew that as long as Bai Zihan was there as a bond, he would be held back by the Wu family sooner or later.

He looked at the Wu family members and asked, “Even if your people within the Wu family legion could come out, there would not be too many of them. What could you hope they accomplish? ”

Councilor Wu: “That is not for Major General Yue to worry about.”

“Then there is no need for me to worry about your affairs.” Yue Xing Ran said.

The sharp knife in Wu Chao Yi’s hand was immediately sent forward an inch and stuck in Bai Zihan, “Do you think I’m joking with you, Major General Yue?”

Naturally, Yue Xing Ran did not doubt that what he said was true; the Wu family was ruthless and could do anything.

Bai Zihan, however, was even more frightened and said, “Cousin, grandfather, don’t…  uncle, save me, save me, you promise them!”

“Yes, Major General Yue.” Councilor Wu said, “Bai Zihan, in the end, is also considered my grandson. It’s just a last resort, but I do not want to kill my closest relatives by hand. As long as you promise, I will definitely return the boy to you. After all, killing him would do me no good at all.”

“Little Uncle, Little Uncle, save me!”

Wu Chao Yi said, “What is there to hesitate about? What we want you to do is not a difficult task, much less asking you to rebel. Just go and talk to those people and add a small lie to it… ”

At that time, you can reorganize the remaining people within the legion ahead of time. The Lu and Kang families can not intervene. The Yue family will return to new glory. Whether it is from the point of bloodline kinship, or from the interests above, this is a surefire deal. ”

Wu Chao Yi is worthy of being raised as an heir since childhood. At times like this, the words are still so tempting.

However,

Yue Xing Ran said, “Now that the situation is under control, if I did that, it would get out of hand and many people might die.”

“So what?” Wu Chao Yi said, “It won’t be you who dies. Nor will it be your only nephew, the only descendant of your Yue family, so what’s a few deaths? ”

“You can think about it, Major General Yue.” Councilor Wu said.

“On one hand, there is the revitalization of the Yue family with its only offspring; on the other hand, there are the lives of some people you don’t know. Besides, we just have to leave; we’re not stupid enough to strike at the Lu and Kang families in a situation of unequal power. ”

Yue Xing Ran couldn’t help but applaud, “Good, very good. In that case, it seems completely unreasonable for me to refuse you. Unfortunately,.. ”

If you don’t say exactly what you plan to do, I really find it hard to believe that you won’t drag the Yue family into it.”

Do you think that you have a choice?” Wu Chao Yi said, stabbing directly into Bai Zihan.

Bai Zihan screamed even more miserably, “Little Uncle, Little Uncle, help me!”

Wu Chao Yi unceremoniously took the knife and stabbed it in again, and Yue Xing Ran hurriedly said, “Stop.”

After shouting stop, he did not speak for a moment.

Shi Nian looked at them with his divine sense. He felt more convinced that he could not blame Councilor Wu for picking Wu Chao Yi over his son as well as out of all those grandsons.

The two were standing there, one old and one young, and apart from the difference caused by their age, their postures and expressions were as similar as if they were the same person.

After a few minutes had passed like this, Yue Xing Ran closed his eyes, saying, “Give me a specific plan!”

At once, Shi Nian came to life.

Yue Xing Ran’s hand, which was hidden outside the video screen, also tightened up.

After a while, Lu Bo Ting got a call, and it was none other than Yue Xing Ran.

Shi Nian then listened to the Wu family’s plan once more.

They had asked Yue Xing Ran to step in and go stabilise the Yue people within the Wu family’s legion, and at the same time, they had asked him to quietly open two openings that they had circled out.

Yue Xing Ran asked, “If you want to leave, one is enough. Why do you want two escape routes?”

Without saying a word, Wu Chao Yi stabbed at Bai Zihan’s body.

“Two, not one less.”

At this point, Yue Xing Ran told them to wait and hung up the call.

Lu Bo Ting looked at the two positions they had indicated and found that both were good openings, suitable for breaking through and escaping.

But he only circled one of them, saying, “You go and contact the Yue members within the Wu family legion. As for the opening, just leave this one for them… I will have someone cooperate with you. ”

Yue Xing Ran did not ask why; he was not stupid.

With Yue Xing Ran’s power today, it was okay to get one opening in this situation. Two was really too difficult for him. Even if he somehow succeeded, his achievement would be too big and suspicious. He wouldn’t even be able to explain himself to them.

As long as he wasn’t stupid, he wouldn’t do exactly what he was told.

The Wu family over there certainly understood this too.

Wu Chao Yi said, “Grandpa, it’s time to inform those people!”

Councilor Wu nodded, “Just tell them that things have come to a head and that they can only leave the main star as planned. They can escape through that opening given by Yue Xing Ran when the time comes. ”

Wu Chao Yi immediately went to contact the people.

As for Councilor Wu, he sighed, “The Lu family, ah, is just too strict with following the law. If he didn’t care about the rules and had cut off communication within this house long ago, like he did with that karaoke bar building, we might have been in real trouble. ”

Bai Zihan cried beside him, “Cousin, I’m in pain, you….”

“Don’t worry.” Wu Chao Yi didn’t even look at him; he just said, “I have a sense of proportion, just two stabs won’t kill you.”

Bai Zihan: “… ”

Bai Zihan cried, “What if… I mean, what if Yue Xing Ran can’t do it?”

After over twenty years of being stupid, he was now slightly wiser, “What if he doesn’t have the means to make a suitable opening for an escape in both places?”

Of course he can’t.” However, Bai Zihan’s cleverness was extremely stupid in the eyes of Councilor Wu.

“Those are all Lu Bo Ting’s men. How can he dispatch them at will? ”

Bai Zihan was anxious, “Then isn’t he doomed to fail?”

But councilor Wu ignored him.

Bai Zihan could only look at Wu Chao Yi, who looked at this foolish little cousin and simply said, “You’re right here, but you didn’t hear what grandpa said just now? That our people should break through that opening, not the two openings. ”

Bai Zihan: “Huh?”

“If Yue Xing Ran told us that he had gotten both routes open, it would mean that he had turned against us and gone to work with Lu Bo Ting. It would be the only reason it could be done so smoothly, understand? ”

Bai Zihan nodded ignorantly, “So, so, he’ll definitely succeed and I won’t have to die, right?”

Wu Chao Yi said impatiently, “Of course! As if anyone would feel accomplished in killing you.”

Bai Zihan’s only sense of urgency was gone, so he cowered to the side. But he had been stabbed twice, and it hurt, and he twitched from time to time.

The room was silent, and his sobs were the only sounds that were noticeable.

After awhile, Wu Chao Yi couldn’t take it anymore.

“Don’t worry, with you bleeding here, Yue Xing Ran over there wouldn’t dare not do his best. Give it ten more minutes at most, and everything will definitely be done. ”

As expected, ten minutes later, Yue Xing Ran called to communicate.

“It’s all done. The Yue family inside the Wu army won’t move easily. You have your men go through this place. ”

Yue Xing Ran threw over a coordinate before continuing, “Only this place. Leave if you like. If you still think it’s not enough, you can accompany Bai Zihan to die. ”

But Councilor Wu was satisfied, “Of course it’s enough.”

Yue Xing Ran directly hung up the call.

Then he closed his eyes….This drama was finally over.

The Wu family was deceitful, and he wasn’t sure if those former Yue family members were still completely Yue family members. Some recognized him, and some may have long since become members of the Wu family line.

So he had to convince them one by one, not a single flaw.

Over here, Councilor Wu had laughed when he heard that there was only one escape route. He still went to his own people to confirm it, and when he learned that there was no problem, he immediately said.”

Start preparing for action.”

Wu Chao Yi nodded and before turning his head to leave, he suddenly looked at Bai Zihan again, “Should we bring him?”

“Take him with you.” Councilor Wu said, “Just in case. He might still be useful.We promised to return the man to Yue Xing Ran alive, but we didn’t say when. ”

Once the two of them had taken Bai Zihan outside, they led the man guarding the gate all the way to a small courtyard.

A large crowd had gathered inside that remote and uninhabited courtyard at that time. Shi Nian recognized them. It was same people who he had seen packing up earlier, all of whom held important positions in the Empire.

Shi Nian: “They’re ready to run.”

“Mmm.” Lu Bo Ting said, “After all, they obviously can’t stay in the Empire anymore, and if I’m right, they should still have a back up.”

They did.

After entering the secret passage, the group walked all the way out while talking, “I’ve already arranged things outside. As planned at the beginning, if something happens, our people over there will immediately rush over and wait until the signal comes out. They will then pretend to attack the main star. We will take advantage of the confusion and escape… …… “”Only, fromthis

moment on, we will no longer be the high and mighty Wu family, but… star pirates.”

It can’t be helped, it’s come to this. If we don’t become star pirates, we’ll have to go to prison.” One of them said, “Look at us. If we are really caught, which one of us has not committed any crime?”

Those who hadn’t committed any crimes were left behind, or some of them weren’t major figures. Because of the importance of this trip, some of the less important people were not eligible to go along.

Shi Nian suddenly smiled.

Lu Bo Ting asked, “What are you laughing at?”

“Laughing at the fact that you told the Kang family earlier to have their legions watch the outskirts of the main star just in case, and now the eventuality has come.”

No matter how many men the Wu family had prepared, they were certainly no match for the Kang family’s legions.

So no matter how many came, there would be no return.

And as for those who planned to escape, since the opening was fake, they naturally couldn’t break out either.

The aim of this plan was to find those who were following the Wu family wholeheartedly.

“Let’s go!” Shi Nian said, “It’s time for us to move too.”

As for what to do?

Of course, it was to block people.

The Wu family’s people were walking inside the tunnel while they followed slowly in their flying machine above.

They waited until the group reached the exit before slowly coming down, bringing a large group of people with them to meet the Wu family, people who thought they had escaped.

Xue Chi stepped forward and laughed, “Councilor Wu, what is this all about? Drilling about in a tunnel. ”

Councilor Wu was startled.

They had hidden mechas, an aircraft and other things nearby, but at this moment, they were surrounded and it was too late to have any back-ups.

Councilor Wu looked around… …..ready to retreat back the way they came.

“It’s too late.” With Shi Nian’s words, there was also the sound of footsteps inside the secret passage behind them.

They were being blocked at the back too.

Councilor Wu asked incredulously, “How did you know?”

Just at that moment, his light brain rang continuously.

It was a call saying, “Elder Wu, we were set up. We were about to flee when we saw that kid, Yue Xing Ran, personally bringing people up to block the escape route. ”

Others were, “The plan has failed. The Kang family’s people are guarding the outskirts of the main star. On getting a little closer… we were discovered. It’s over.”

“What?” Councilor Wu was simply shocked.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about the possibility of Yue Xing Ran turning against him, but he definitely didn’t expect the Kang family to guard the outside of the main star.

He looked at Lu Bo Ting incredulously and said, “Good, very good. Worthy of being the Imperial God of War who has been praised for so many years, you had even thought of this.”Then

without thinking, he grabbed Bai Zihan and held the knife against his neck, saying, “Where is Yue Xing Ran? Let him come over. Isn’t he afraid that I will kill Bai Zihan? ”

“Is he crazy?”

“Where is Yue Xing Ran? How dare he…”

Shi Nian opened his lightbrain silently and dialed Yue Xing Ran, asking, “How is it going over there? Is it over? When it’s over, come and have a chat with our soon-to-be fallen Councilor Wu. ”

This kind of show where you watch an enemy’s dying struggle should also be quite fun, ah!
