Chapter 11: The Hidden Dragon Emerges from the Abyss

"Now, you can go die." Zhang Jun raised his hand and brought down the knife, ending Fang Zijie's life.

The father and son who returned home both died.

Zhang Jun did not linger any longer, turned and left the warehouse.

He knew that the Return Home and the Black Tiger Hall were merely the tip of the iceberg.

The true mastermind behind the scenes was still lurking in the shadows.

The next step he had to take was to find the "upstream" and root them out completely!

However, before that, he still needed to resolve a problem.

That was the Liu family's traitor, Liu Yunfei's older brother—Liu Yunhai.

A glint of cold light flashed in Zhang Jun's eyes.

"Liu Yunhai, your good days are over!"

"Nonsense?" Zhang Jun sneered, "You think you can hide it from me?"

He step by step approached Liu Yunfei.

Liu Yunfei kept retreating until he had nowhere left to go, leaning against the wall.

"Zhang Jun, don't act recklessly!" he said, putting on a brave front, "This is the Return Home, not a place where you can run wild!"

"Return Home?" Zhang Jun curled his lip in disdain, "You think the Return Home can protect you?"

"You..." Liu Yunfei was at a loss for words.

"I'll give you a chance." Zhang Jun said, "Tell me, who is the 'upstream' and what is their plan."

"I... I don't know what you're talking about." Liu Yunfei was still making excuses.

"Looks like you won't cry until you see the coffin." Zhang Jun's eyes turned cold.

He suddenly struck out, grabbing Liu Yunfei's throat.

Liu Yunfei instantly had difficulty breathing, his face flushing red.

"Speak... or not?" Zhang Jun's voice was ice-cold and piercing.

"I... I will speak..." Liu Yunfei finally yielded, "I will speak..."

He haltingly told Zhang Jun everything he knew.

As it turned out, Liu Yunfei had long been colluding with the "upstream," secretly betraying the Liu family's interests.

And the goal of the "upstream" was to obtain a family heirloom of the Liu family.

This heirloom was tied to a shocking secret.

"What secret?" Zhang Jun pressed.

"I... I really don't know." Liu Yunfei was on the verge of tears, "I'm just a small fry, I have no access to the core secrets!"

Zhang Jun stared at him for a moment, confirming he was not lying.

"You're wise to comply." Zhang Jun released his grip, "But don't try any tricks. Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead."

"No... I wouldn't dare..." Liu Yunfei shook his head repeatedly.

"Good." Zhang Jun nodded, "From now on, you will do whatever I tell you to do. Understand?"

"I... I understand..." Liu Yunfei said in a trembling voice.

Zhang Jun smiled satisfactorily.

He turned and left Liu Yunfei's room.

A greater storm was about to arrive.

And Liu Yunfei would become a pawn in his hand.

A single pawn capable of overturning the entire board.

And Zhang Jun, this name, became the center of the storm.

His every move tugged at the nerves of countless people.

At this moment, Zhang Jun was sitting in a small restaurant, leisurely eating a late-night snack.

He seemed completely unaware that he had already become the target of public criticism.

"Boss, another bowl of noodles."

Zhang Jun shouted toward the boss.

"Sure thing!"

The boss responded with a sound and quickly got to work cooking the noodles.

Zhang Jun ate the noodles, mentally calculating his next step.

"The Return Home is just a beginning."

"The real enemy is still ahead."

"Just what background does the 'upstream' have?"

He faintly felt that he seemed to have been drawn into a huge vortex.

This vortex not only concerned the fate of the Liu family, but also his own origins.

"It seems Jiangbei is about to undergo a change."

Zhang Jun set down his chopsticks, the corners of his mouth slightly turning up.

He walked out of the restaurant, lifted his gaze to the night sky.

Tonight's moon was especially round.

Under the moonlight, his silhouette appeared somewhat lonely, yet exuded an indescribable confidence.

"Come on, let me see what else you're capable of."

He muttered softly, his voice dissipating into the night wind.

**【Eleventh Chapter: Hidden Dragon Emerges from the Abyss, Shocking Jiangbei】**

Night as dark as ink, Zhang Jun quietly withdrew amidst the chaos of returning home's warehouse. Fang Hong's poisoning gave him excellent cover; the outside world regarded him as a sacrifice in the Fang Family's hands. Zhang Jun secretly gloated, taking advantage of the chaos, he successfully shed his shell like a cicada, feigned death and escaped, preparing to make arrangements in the dark.

"This play has only just begun," he murmured in his heart, quickly leaving the Fang Family's territory and heading toward a secret location.

At the same time, the Liu Family learned of the news of Zhang Jun's death and the Fang Family's destruction, shocked, they began to suspect an insider. Liu Yunhai, Liu Yunfei's brother, covertly acted, trying to conceal the truth. He wandered within the family, attempting to pacify the clansmen and disguise his collusion with the "upper family."

"This is truly a huge joke," Liu Yunhai thought coldly, believing he could continue to control the situation.

However, he did not know that Zhang Jun had already recorded the call between Liu Yunfei and the "upper family," as well as the evidence he found in the Fang Family's secret chamber, and anonymously sent it to the Liu Family head, Liu Quan.

Liu Quan listened to the recording in his study, his face gradually darkening. As the evidence was exposed, his anger erupted like a volcano.

"Liu Yunhai, you traitor!" he roared, his voice like thunder, shaking the entire family.

Liu Yunhai's face instantly turned pale, he secretly thought it was bad. He tried to explain, but Liu Quan's anger could not be appeased.

Liu Quan on the spot exposed Liu Yunhai's true colors and had him restrained, leaving him unable to escape.

"Do you think I don't know what you're doing?" Liu Quan coldly stared at Liu Yunhai, his eyes flashing with angry flames.

Liu Yunhai was unwilling to surrender, secretly scheming. He had some influence in the Liu Family, attempting to incite the clansmen to rebel.

"How could you believe an outsider? Zhang Jun is merely a minor figure, he is utterly unworthy of our trust!" he shouted loudly, trying to stir the clansmen's discontent.

At this very moment, Zhang Jun "returned from the dead," appearing at the Liu Family's gate.

His appearance was like a gust of wind, instantly sweeping through the entire Liu Family. Zhang Jun's figure in the moonlight seemed especially resolute, as if a returning hero.

"I have returned," he said lightly, his voice bearing an aura of fearlessness.

Liu Quan and the clansmen were stunned, looking at him in disbelief.

Zhang Jun smiled slightly, stepped forward, and revealed the full truth of Liu Yunhai's collusion with the "upper family." As he spoke, the Liu Family members' faces gradually showed shock and anger.

"You have been deceived by him; he is the mole!" Zhang Jun's voice was like a sharp sword, piercing everyone's heart.

Liu Quan's face grew increasingly grim, secretly relieved that he had not lightly trusted Liu Yunhai.

He turned and said to the clansmen: "Now the truth is fully revealed, who still dares to support this traitor?"

The Liu Family members one after another turned against him, supporting Liu Quan in purging the gate. Seeing the situation turn bad, Liu Yunhai panicked, tried to flee, but was surrounded by the clansmen and unable to move.
