The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

In the Xiao family, Old Master Xiao's face was so gloomy that it chilled people to the bone. Every single member of the Xiao family stood silently, not daring to move, for fear of being noticed by Old Master Xiao and then being scolded.

"Tell me, they've dared to bully our Xiao family. What are your thoughts on this?"

Old Master Xiao stared intently at the core members of the Xiao family before him, his voice filled with suppressed rage.

Even if everything else is one thing, the fact that they dared to attack the Xiao family's little princess really shows they don't know what death means!

"Great-grandfather, I suggest that we bring my little sister back. Until we find the person who did it, we should make sure she doesn't leave the Xiao family."

After a long silence, seeing that no one in the audience spoke, Xiao Tianze decided to start by speaking first.

Stick your neck out or you'll get stabbed; whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed. The sooner you die, the sooner you'll be free!

After listening to Xiao Tianze's words, Old Master Xiao nodded without offering any opinion, and instead turned his gaze to the others.

Seeing this, Xiao Tianze breathed a sigh of relief. The old master neither commented nor got angry, which meant that his opinion was within the old master's expectations. It was not exactly what the old master wanted, but it wasn't too bad either. He could be considered to have escaped a disaster.

"Grandpa, I believe that you can't guard against thieves forever, even if you're a thief for a thousand days. The other side is so arrogant, daring to attack our Xiao family's little princess, Ruoxi, in broad daylight, and even dared to shoot our Xiao family's bodyguards in public! This is a blatant provocation against our Xiao family! Therefore, we must find a way to locate their hideout. Whether it's the remnants of the Dragon King's Palace or some international assassin organization, we must uproot them, slaughter their entire families, and make an example of them to deter others!"

"If the others dare not make a move, then leave it to me! Just give me a hundred of the Xiao family's elite troops, and I guarantee they won't even leave a single ant behind!"

Xiao Ruoxi's fourth uncle, Xiao Zhang, said sternly, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.

As Xiao Zhang finished speaking, everyone else silently turned their gazes to him.

If the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Xiao family is Xiao Ruoxi's eldest brother, Xiao Wuji, then the most outstanding member of Xiao Ruoxi's father's generation is Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang was a man of both literary and martial talents, with no particular strengths or weaknesses. His only problem was his personality. True to his name, he was extremely arrogant and domineering, and he looked down on everyone. Otherwise, the position of the head of the Xiao family would not have been given to Xiao Ruoxi's father, Xiao Mingjue, who was known for his calm and collected personality.

"Fourth brother, our Xiao family is no longer the underworld family it once was, but a genuine political family. We should avoid fighting and killing if possible. Even if we have to, we should completely distance ourselves from the Xiao family. It would be best to let the government take action. A wise man avoids dangerous situations."

Xiao Mingjue's voice was steady and powerful, but it carried an unquestionable air, directly rejecting Xiao Zhang's idea.

"Brother, you're too soft-hearted, that's why people are bullying my Xiao family now. You can swallow this insult, but I, Xiao Zhang, can't!"

Xiao Zhang was very indignant. Everyone else was taking advantage of the Xiao family, yet his elder brother was still hesitant. If the Xiao family didn't retaliate now, what would become of their reputation? They would probably become a laughing stock among the wealthy families of Haicheng!

"I'm not saying we won't retaliate; retaliation is essential. But the one who ultimately strikes must not be a member of the Xiao family. Our Xiao family has worked so hard to turn from black to white; we absolutely cannot turn back!"

"Fourth son, you don't want your two sons to go back to the days when they had to be on guard against enemies all the time, do you?"

"But......"

"Alright, do as the patriarch says."

Old Master Xiao slowly stood up and addressed the crowd.

"But I have one condition: Ruoxi absolutely cannot lose a single hair. If Ruoxi loses a single hair, I'll break all of your legs!!!"

"Also, Ruoxi just messaged me, saying that according to Ye's analysis, the other party is either an assassin organization hired by Zhao Jinyan to kill someone, and because they can't find Ye, they are planning to use the Su family's little girl to lure Ye out. Ruoxi just happened to be there."

"Either the remnants of the Dragon King's Palace want to retaliate against our Xiao family, and I, as an old man, am more inclined to believe that the remnants of the Dragon King's Palace want to retaliate against our Xiao family. So, boss, you should hand over all the information we have about the Dragon King's Palace to the government, and let the government take action!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Wuji, and Tiance, you two are the most outstanding among the younger generation. I'm entrusting the task of protecting Ruoxi to you. If Ruoxi loses even a single hair, this old man will twist your heads off!"

"Yes, Great-Grandpa." x2

"Also, if you happen to see that Ye family brat, tell him to come and see this old man when he has some free time. It's been four years since we last met, and I wonder if he's gotten even more capable than before?"

"Yes, Great-Grandpa."

The terrorist attack that Haicheng suffered this time not only shocked the entire city, but also spread throughout the country in a very short time, and even the powerful and wealthy circles in the capital had heard about it!

In the capital city, Luo Qingyue stood before Luo Feng, the former head of the Luo family, and spoke with a stern face.

"Father, Haicheng is no longer safe. Although we don't know why they attacked the Xiao family's convoy, if they can attack the Xiao family today, they can attack our Luo family tomorrow. So I must go to Haicheng immediately and bring my second and third sisters back!"

Luo Feng tapped the table while taking a small sip of his Da Hong Pao tea. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke.

"Don't panic. Although Qingxuan is a bit impulsive, she is still as capable as you, if not as good. If it were a sudden attack, she might be caught off guard. But since this has already happened, Qingxuan will definitely take precautions. So, in other words, Qingxuan is not in any danger."

"If you go and bring Qingxuan and Qingge back now, have you thought about Qingge's illness? Qingxuan said last night that because Qingge met Ye Linyuan, the misunderstanding between them was cleared up, and her illness improved. What if your actions cause her illness to worsen?"

"We finally saw a glimmer of hope for our little princess, we can't let it all slip away like this!"

Luo Qingyue hesitated for a moment, but in the end, her sister's illness took the lead in her heart.

"In that case, I will transfer more people to Haicheng. No matter what, I cannot allow my second and third sisters to have any problems."

Luo Feng nodded.

"Alright, then you will personally lead the people to Haicheng."

Luo Feng's words startled Luo Qingyue, who subconsciously spoke up.

"But if our daughter goes to Haicheng, what about the capital..."

"Don't worry, I'll leave things in the capital to you. Although I'm not very capable, I'm far inferior to you, and even the second son is better than me, I still managed to support the Luo family for over a decade and keep its reputation intact."

"Moreover, after ten years of your sweeping reforms and vigorous development, our Luo family has long since passed the point where we need to fight to the death with our enemies. As long as the general direction you set is correct, our Luo family only needs to proceed step by step and we will become stronger and stronger. Although I am not very good at general direction, I am still fine at handling some minor details."

"If anything really changes, you can come back then."

At this point, a helpless smile appeared on Luo Feng's lips.

"The most critical issue for our Luo family right now is the lack of a successor. Your father is not good enough; he has three daughters but no sons. Therefore, we need the three of you to give our Luo family a grandson to inherit our family business."

"Your trip back to Haicheng isn't just about protecting Qingxuan and Qingge. You also need to assess the future son-in-law of the Luo family and see what kind of person he really is, whether he's the monstrous talent the rumors say he is."

Since her father had said so, Luo Qingyue, who had long wanted to go to Haicheng, nodded, but her face was still solemn.

"Father, rest assured, your daughter will observe Ye Linyuan carefully. As long as he's passable, as long as Third Sister likes him, and as long as he treats Third Sister well, then he is our Luo family's third son-in-law!"

"My daughter promises that she will provide for him for the rest of his life, ensuring he has no worries about food or clothing and that he will never be troubled by anything!"

"Okay, go ahead. And please give my regards to my future third son-in-law."
