I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Private jets are out of the question, and there's no time to apply for a flight route. Book me a ticket to the UK right now, the earliest one!"

"Remember to book using my backup account!"

"Also, have a car ready immediately. I need to leave now; I can't stay here any longer!"

Liang Shaohui was really anxious. If any one of Zhang Xu and his men were captured alive by the Xuan'an Bureau, he would likely be finished!

Even if they were prepared to die, it was no use; the Xuan'an Bureau's Great Memory Restoration Technique was no joke.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

Just as Zhang Tao was about to leave, the butler rushed in, tripped and fell, and scrambled to his feet.

"Sir, something terrible has happened!"

The butler, panting heavily, said, "There are people outside, their car headlights are as bright as day!"

"Those people were all in uniform, carrying guns, and they completely surrounded the Liang family's house!"

"The Xuan'an Bureau? How could they be here so quickly?!" Liang Shaohui's expression changed drastically. "This shouldn't be happening. Even if Zhang Xu and the others were arrested, shouldn't they be interrogated first before implicating me?"

"No matter what, it should have taken a day or two, or even ten days or half a month. How much time has passed?"

His heart sank. No matter how unreasonable it seemed, the person had indeed arrived, and it couldn't possibly be anything good.

It's all over, everything's over. He's doomed, and the entire Liang family is doomed too!

......

The Zhao family.

Hou Qin's expression was grave. "Sir, something has happened at Yunqi Residence!"

"Oh?" Zhao Yu's expression didn't change much. "Is it Yu Jinxiaoqian's?"

"It shouldn't be." Hou Qin shook his head decisively. "Yu Jinxiao lured away the people from the Shadow Martial Hall. No matter where he led them or what he did, he must have gone to the Jiang family first."

"It's completely impossible for him to have finished his business at the Jiang family's residence and then rushed to Yunxi Residence!"

"After Qin Ge left Yunxi Residence, I sent people to keep an eye on it as you instructed. Not long ago, there was a commotion inside, and gunshots rang out for a long time."

"If Yu Jinxiao had made a move, the Xuan'an Bureau wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long!"

"Our spies were worried about implicating the Zhao family, so they didn't dare get too close and don't know what happened inside."

"Just now, a large number of personnel from the Xuan'an Bureau arrived at Yunqi Residence and surrounded it. Something big must have happened inside!"

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. "It seems Liang Shaohui or someone else couldn't hold back any longer and made their move. Perhaps more than one group will be making a move tonight, and they'll run into each other!"

"Qin Ge's departure is an opportunity. You can see it, but others can't?"

He was somewhat smug. "My judgment was correct. Letting others be cannon fodder while we observe was the right strategy!"

"Contact Jinxiao immediately and tell him not to go to Yunxi Residence after he finishes his business at the Jiang family. The plan has changed, but he still has to leave Beidu!"

"This..." Hou Qin's expression turned somewhat grim. "Sir, I've already tried to contact Yu Jinxiao, but I can't get through!"

"And it seems like something's not right with the Jiang family."

"It caused quite a commotion, like they were tearing the house down!"

"If Yu Jinxiao were to make a move, no one in the Jiang family should be able to stop him. We still don't understand what happened within the Jiang family, how could such a commotion have occurred!"

Zhao Yu was no longer calm. "Could it be that the Jiang family has hired a master who even Yu Jinxiao can't handle?"

"Not only did they fail to solve the problem, but they were also eliminated by the other side, which is why they can't get in touch?"

"That's impossible!"

"Yu Jinxiao is a grandmaster, and anyone who wants to rival him must also be a grandmaster."

"As far as I know, the Jiang family has never associated with any force with the strength of a Grandmaster over the years. Where did they find someone capable of fighting against Yu Jinxiao?"

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Have you found Qin Ge? Where did he go?"

"No!" Hou Qin shook his head again. "Our people can't track down Qin Ge. He disappeared after leaving Yunxi Residence."

"However, there is another piece of news: Qiu Ang led his men to the west of the city and eventually sealed off the western cemetery."

"I suspect Yu Jinxiao lured the Shadow Martial Hall people to the western cemetery, and then..."

He made a throat-slitting gesture. "Yu Jinxiao went to the Jiang family after leaving the West City Cemetery."

"Qin Ge probably knew that the Shadow Martial Hall people had an accident in the West City Cemetery, so he rushed out to help."

"In short, a lot happened in Beidu tonight, and it was all very strange!"

"It's good that Qin Ge didn't go to the Jiang family!" Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "To be honest, Qin Ge is too unpredictable. I really can't be sure if Yu Jinxiao is a match for him!"

"Continue to find out more details, and let me know as soon as you have any news."

"Furthermore, the plan remains unchanged: we will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce the successful development of our vaccine and its official deployment!"

"As usual, they'll donate a portion first, then start charging fees later, citing insufficient production capacity and high costs!"

"Yes!" Hou Qin hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak, "Sir, what if something really happens to Yu Jinxiao?"

"Should we prepare in advance and see what countermeasures we can take?"

"No need!" Zhao Yu waved his hand confidently. "Yu Jinxiao can't possibly be in trouble!"

"He should have finished his business at the Jiang family and was on his way to Yunxi Residence, which is why you can't contact him."

"Once he arrives at Yunxi Residence and realizes something is wrong, he will leave. He will contact us then."

"Once we get the Jiang family's things, we can make him leave Beidu. We'll think of another way to deal with Sun Shizheng."

"Even if Yu Jinxiao were to get into trouble, there's nothing we can do, and we shouldn't do anything."

"Doing nothing won't affect us; doing too much might actually cause trouble!"

"Let's proceed as planned!"

On the other side, the Min family.

Min Ting'an also received news of the trouble at Yunxi Residence and the Jiang family, but he was also unaware of the details.

He and Zhao Yu had the same idea: to send Jiang Zhuoqing to the Jiang family first, settle things with them, and then go to Yunqi Residence before leaving Beidu.

The situation is developing in a completely different way than he imagined, and he is even more confused than Zhao Yu.

Jiang Zhuoqing is a grandmaster, why would he need to make such a big fuss when he goes to the Jiang family to do business?

The key question is whether he has finished his business and whether the commotion at Yunxi Residence is related to him.

Min Ting'an has no way of knowing these things now, and what's worse, he can't contact Jiang Zhuoqing!

He was unaware that Qin Ge had left Yunxi Residence that night, nor that something had happened at Yingwu Hall, so he was naturally even more confused than Zhao Yu.

Min Zhengnan asked cautiously, "Patriarch, is it possible that the commotion at the Jiang family and Yunxi Residence was orchestrated by Jiang Zhuoqing? After all, he's a Grandmaster, so it's understandable that he acts in a unique way."

"After he finished his business, he might have been tied up with the Xuan'an Bureau, which is why he couldn't contact us?"
