In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

"A major event will occur in Yanjing in a few days, and Su Mo will be too busy to take care of himself!"

Zhang Haiqiao thought he had misheard, so he asked again, "What?"

The old man said calmly, "The medicine man is ready, and that family has decided to make their move!"

Zhang Haiqiao's pupils contracted. "The drug person? You mean Wu Xie!"

Zhang Haiqiao seemed to realize something and gasped, "The Wang family is going to make a move against Wu Xie?"

"Ok!"

The old man's voice was steady, "Wu Xie is a descendant of the Wu family among the Nine Gates, and Su Mo is so close to him. There's absolutely no way he could stay out of this..."

Wu Xie, the Wu family, the Nine Gates, the Wang family, and Su Mo!

The Wang family's actions have far-reaching consequences; in a few days, the situation in Yanjing might be even more chaotic than in the Northeast!

The old man said, "Let's keep a low profile for now. The Wang family really did bring our clan to ruin back then; they're not ruthless..."

"If we confront the Wang family head-on, even Su Mo would be left battered and bruised!"

Chapter 292: Wu Xie is Attacked

The confrontation between Su Mo and Zhang Haiqiao ended with Zhang Haiqiao's crushing defeat.

Seeing that things were not going well, Zhang Haiqiao's henchmen booked plane tickets overnight and fled to Japan, Korea, Malaysia and other places.

The desperados who had previously gathered around Zhang Haiqiao were either dead or captured.

The entire Northeast was gripped by fear and tension, yet surprisingly, public order improved considerably during this storm.

On the third day, senior executives from Su Mo Company officially entered Northeast China to start their antique business!

As for "Master Woodcutter," who had dominated Northeast China for many years, he mysteriously disappeared from his own villa the next morning.

In the martial arts world, some say he fled Northeast China, while others say he was killed by Su Mo's men that very night.

There were many different opinions, and the rumors spread like wildfire. Some even said that he, the woodcutter, had overtaken the carriages of every high-ranking official in the court, which displeased them and led to his punishment.

However, Zhang Haiqiao's mysterious disappearance also marked the collapse of the Zhang family's power in Northeast China.

As the instigator of this storm, Su Mo, after stabilizing the emotions of all parties, also left Northeast China by plane.

……

The plane flew smoothly through the clouds.

A clear blue sky makes one feel great!

However, Su Mo had no time to appreciate the scenery. He sat on the plane to rest for a while and unexpectedly fell asleep.

It was also because of his busy schedule these past few days that after finishing in the Qinling Mountains, he rushed to the Northeast without stopping, and didn't close his eyes for a moment during that time.

"Brother Su..."

Wang Kaixuan brought over a glass of red wine and handed it to Su Mo, "Asleep?"

Su Mo opened her eyes, yawned, and said, "I'm so tired..."

Wang Kaixuan laughed and said, "Although we haven't changed much in appearance, we're all men in our forties or fifties now, and our energy isn't what it used to be..."

"Think about it, back when we lifted the red-eye curse in Tibet, we didn't sleep for days and nights..."

"You can't deny getting old..."

Wang Kaixuan, usually known for his witty remarks, was surprisingly sentimental today, which Su Mo found a little hard to accept. He burst into laughter, "That's true, back when we ventured into Jingjue and traversed the snowy mountains, I was only twenty-three. Now, in the blink of an eye, our little girl is almost an adult..."

Old Hu also came over and retorted without any politeness, "Fatty, what are you thinking about now, reminiscing about the bitter past and appreciating the sweet present?"

Wang Kaixuan rolled his eyes. "Old Hu, what are you talking about? I was just marveling at how kind time is!"

Su Mo joked, "That's why we need to hurry up and find a way to achieve immortality, or we'll be too old..."

Wang Kaixuan laughed loudly, "Hahaha, yes, yes, immortality, we must live forever! This wonderful world, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"Hahaha…"

Su Mo, Lao Hu, and Fatty laughed heartily, just like back then.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the fat man said, "It's a pity we didn't catch Zhang Haiqiao..."

Su Mo shrugged. "I let him go. I need him to pass on a message to the Zhang family overseas..."

"Offending me, Su Mo, may not make me angry, but if they mess with my family, they must pay a bloody price!"

Old Hu, the fat man nodded in deep agreement. Back then, when one of them was full, the whole family wasn't hungry.

Now that they have started families and careers, they are much more cautious and do things more carefully than before.

Family is their Achilles' heel!

.........

Two hours later, the group disembarked from the plane.

Just then, Su Mo's phone rang.

Su Mo answered the phone without hesitation when he saw that it was Zhang Yingchuan calling.

"Master Su, Wang Yueban and Wu Xie were in a car accident at Panjiayuan. It seems like someone deliberately caused it!"

"Thanks to the timely discovery by our local brothers, both of them were unharmed, except for Wang Xiaopang who suffered some minor injuries..."

"However, everything in the car, and their belongings, were stolen!"

"The police have launched an investigation, but the perpetrators have been very discreet and left no clues. It looks like this case is going to remain unsolved!"

Chapter 293: The Wang Family Makes Another Move

"The police have launched an investigation, but the perpetrators have been very discreet and left no clues. It looks like this case is going to remain unsolved!"

Hearing Zhang Yingchuan's words, Su Mo was taken aback for a moment, then immediately asked, "Can you determine who did it?"

Zhang Yingchuan was silent for a moment, then said, "In broad daylight, the Nine Gates wouldn't do such a thing. I suspect it's the Wang family!"

The Wang family?

Is this family up to their old tricks again?

Have they forgotten the painful lessons learned from the Yuan Dynasty's stronghold tombs?

Wang Kaixuan, who was standing nearby, also overheard Su Mo and Zhang Yingchuan's conversation and quickly asked, "Is my apprentice alright?"

Zhang Yingchuan said, "He broke his ribs, but fortunately it was a minor injury, and with timely treatment, it's not a big problem..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "The Wang family is incredibly audacious! How dare they commit violence and assault in broad daylight..."

Su Mo said in a deep voice, "The Wang family has been around for over a hundred years and once brought the Zhang family to the brink of collapse. Naturally, they are very arrogant. Wu Xie and Wang Yueban just parted ways with me, and they got into trouble as soon as I left. Clearly, they don't take me seriously..."

Old Hu raised an eyebrow. "Logically speaking, the Wang family and the Nine Gates are mortal enemies. Why would they hurt Wang Yueban? It doesn't make sense."

Su Mo explained, "Their true intention is probably Wu Xie..."

Old Hu suddenly realized.

So this is where the root of everything lies!

Back then, the Wang family planted a bomb under Xie Xiaohua's table and chairs. With that precedent, it makes sense that they would cause a car accident to injure Wu Xie now!

His apprentice had almost gotten into trouble, and Wang Kaixuan grew increasingly angry, saying, "Brother Su, this revenge must be taken! I only have this one apprentice; if this gets out of hand, where will I put my face?"

The Wang family is an enemy of the Nine Gates and also has grudges and disputes with Su Mo. This time, Wang Yueban was attacked in Panjiayuan, which is also a slap in the face to Su Mo.

Su Mo naturally wouldn't stand idly by, nodding and saying, "The Wang family has three strongholds, which have been under our surveillance for years. I'll arrange for Chaos to take them out quietly..."

"it is good!"

Wang Kaixuan was overjoyed, "That's how it should be! When did they become so arrogant in Yanjing?"

"Let me know when Chaos makes his move, and I'll take some men to support him..."

Su Mo smiled. "Alright, I'll have Chaos notify you then..."

With that, everyone got into the car and returned to Panjiayuan.

Wu Xie's accident served as a wake-up call for Su Mo.

Upon returning to Panjiayuan, Su Mo immediately mobilized a group of experts from the orphanage to strengthen security at the antique shops.

Given the Wang family's ruthless methods, it's possible they might target their own stronghold.

This is something we cannot be careless about!

……

into the night.

Su Mo took a shower and went to bed early.

Hey, don't say it!

As the old saying goes, there's no place like home!

Su Mo said sincerely, "Comfortable..."

After finishing in the Qinling Mountains, Su Mo rushed to the Northeast. If you think about it carefully, Su Mo hasn't had a good night's sleep for almost half a month.

Only Su Mo possesses superhuman physical abilities; anyone else would have died from overwork long ago!

"Then stop tomb raiding and stay home..."

At that moment, Yingzi walked over with a smile.

Yingzi was clearly dressed up carefully, wearing a silver tulle dress. Her pure face and curvaceous figure made her look absolutely stunning.

Su Mo was stunned for a moment, and without any hesitation, he pulled Yingzi into his arms, his hands becoming restless as well.

Su Mo grinned mischievously, "Little sister, did you miss me? Heh, I'm going to bully you a lot today?"

Her fair, oval face was framed by a pair of large, dark eyes, and long eyelashes fluttered beneath her willow-leaf eyebrows.

Coupled with her pampered lifestyle, Yingzi truly rivals movie stars.

Yingzi blushed deeply. Feeling Su Mo's passion, she stopped resisting, wrapping her arms around his neck. "This is to reward you. You've worked hard these past few days..."
