The Marshal of the Siheyuan is back! He starts by executing Jia Dongxu.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"How could anyone in this world be so bold as to take a member of the Wang family hostage!"

His subordinate was already drenched in sweat, and when he heard the news, his face was filled with disbelief.

However, after his extensive investigation, he found that this was indeed the case.

"Brother Wu."

"That's really true. You can check it yourself if you don't believe me."

Seeing the sincere look in his subordinate's eyes, Wang Wenwu did not re-investigate, but leaned back slightly in his chair.

He frowned, revealing a deep look in his eyes.

He has been busy with things inside the base these days, so he hasn't been paying much attention to what's happening outside.

But if he remembered correctly, it had only been a few days.

Why does it feel like... a century has passed?

"Then tell me, what exactly has happened these past few days?"

Seeing that Wang Wenwu believed him, his subordinates continued to recount the events of the past few days.

Wang Wenwu became increasingly shocked as he listened!

His previous serious expression gradually turned into one with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth.

"You're telling me you're not joking!"

"These things are simply unbelievable!"

His subordinates were both amused and exasperated by what they heard.

"Oh my, Brother Wu, how could I dare to joke with you at a time like this?"

"It's all true."

When Wang Wenwu heard his subordinate's reply again, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

He slowly stood up.

He paced around the room, seemingly wondering what would happen next.

The other party not only killed the heir of the Wu family, but also arrested and killed other members of the Wu family.

Now even his second brother and his father have been arrested by the other side.

So next...

Won't the other party then come after me?

Thinking of this, Wang Wenwu frowned even more deeply.

Although he was a member of the navy, in that era, China's navy was still too weak.

It's not even in the same league as the army.

If the enemy can crush the Wu family's army with an absolute advantage, then facing the Wang family's navy will be a piece of cake.

Wang Wenwu became increasingly anxious as he thought about it.

"Ring ring~"

Just then, a phone rang, startling him.

Who is it?

"How could they bother me at such a crucial moment?"

Just as he was about to answer the phone, he discovered that the ringtone was not from a regular phone, but from his personal phone.

This made him feel uneasy.

This indicates that the situation has reached a critical point.

He quickly jogged over to answer the phone.

"Feed".

"dad???"

......

the other side.

Inside Wang Hongwei's courtyard.

at this time.

Liu Jianjun's longsword was pressed against Wang Hongwei's neck.

Wang Hongwei was trembling all over, terrified that Liu Jianjun might make a mistake and he would end up like Wu Yongchang, with his head rolling on the ground...

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke softly into the microphone.

"Wenwu, it's me."

"You'd better get your men out of the area right now."

"So that we can get through this safely."

"Dad, what exactly happened? How did you get arrested too?"

Wang Hongwei glanced tremblingly at Liu Jianjun, and seeing the other's extremely cold eyes, he continued speaking into the microphone.

"Oh dear... don't worry about that..."

"Listen to me, get rid of all your men right now."

Instead, a sarcastic tone came from the other end.

"Ha, Dad, you think I'll just back out because you tell me to?"

"Let me tell you, I, Wang Wenwu, am absolutely not a coward who fears death."

"Even if it means facing them head-on, even if it means death, I will protect the honor of the royal family!"

"Ouch!"

Where has Wang Hongwei lost his dignity as the head of the family?

At this moment, he was as anxious as a monkey!

Because he could feel the cold, hard weapon on his neck slowly penetrating his skin.

He hurriedly continued speaking.

"Wenwu, this isn't the time to talk about these things!"

"If you don't hurry, you'll never see me again!"

Wang Wenguang, standing to the side, found his father's disheveled appearance quite amusing.

The once high and mighty father is now like a lowly clown, constantly retreating territory in order to save his own life.

This is completely different from his previous statement that he would "protect the royal family's honor even if it meant death."

Oh.

They made it sound so nice back then.

Now, I'm actually in real danger.

So you've completely forgotten about the glory of the Wang family, haven't you?

Wang Wenguang figured it out too.

I finally understand why my family has been able to survive for thousands of years.

So that's how it's done.

Wang Wenwu was silent for a moment before speaking.

"That's great."

"After you die, I can inherit your position."

"What?!!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hongwei instantly broke down!

He never imagined that he would raise such an ungrateful child!

He knew from the beginning that his eldest son was always thinking about usurping his position.

But he didn't expect it.

In this situation, the other party might try to force you to step down!

Just as he was about to lose his temper and hurl insults at the other party, Liu Jianjun's sword went in a little deeper.

A drop of blood flowed down Wang Hongwei's neck.

Wang Hongwei immediately suppressed his temper and spoke into the phone.

"Wenwu, I'm begging you, please?"

"Can't you just withdraw your men?"

Wang Hongwei paused for a moment before continuing.

"In that case, after this matter is over, I will inform the family and voluntarily step down."

"How about I put you in charge of this household?"

In order to save his life, Wang Hongwei had no choice but to reluctantly agree to this condition.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before someone slowly spoke.

"OK."

These words made Wu Guoliang, who was standing to the side, chuckle and scoff.

They just said they would never back down for the sake of the Wang family's honor.

Now I hear my father say he wants to step down.

They immediately and eagerly agreed to withdraw their troops.

These families are truly flexible and adaptable.

No wonder he could be so successful as a traitor.

"Click"

After the call ended.

Wang Hongwei looked at Liu Jianjun with pleading eyes.

"I've taken care of this matter. Now... can you let me go?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the long sword at his neck.

Liu Jianjun waved his right hand and sheathed his longsword.

It's not time to kill him yet, so Liu Jianjun decided to spare his life for now.

After all, the other party is the head of the Wang family, and this can be used as a threat when the Wang family is eliminated in the future.

"Alright, let's continue."

Liu Jianjun turned around and spoke slowly in an unquestionable tone.

He then left the room alone.

Wang Hongwei touched the blood on his neck, revealing an extremely ugly expression.

"Oh, what a tragedy."
