Chapter 305: The Eve (Part 3)

When Chen Che returned to the Fang Family, Fang Shaoyi had already returned as well. That he had returned so quickly after visiting other families was quite unexpected to Chen Che.

"What did the other Martial Dao families say?"

Chen Che asked.

"With the video you provided as a bottom line, two families who have good private relations with the Fang Family have already decided to help us. Although the others haven't made a clear statement, after seeing the video, they will surely be moved in their hearts."

Fang Shaoyi said.

"That's good. It seems our advantage is growing larger and larger now."

Chen Che walked forward slowly, wanting to pick a chair to sit down, but he noticed Fang Shaoyi and Fang Yuying looking at him with strange expressions.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Che stopped, a trace of vigilance appearing between his brows.

Fang Yuying's eyes were red; she had clearly been crying before. She looked at Chen Che, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Fang Shaoyi interjected: "Mr. Chen, I also found out from other families that the Ding Family, the Huang Family, and other families attached to the Gu Family have always been relying on drugs to cultivate Martial Artists."

"The enemy is indeed numerous and powerful, but to capture the bandits, one must first capture their leader. As long as Gu Yuanzong can be killed, the others will be nothing to worry about."

Chen Che finished speaking and then scrutinized Fang Shaoyi.

Fang Shaoyi glanced at Fang Yuying and said again: "Then what is Mr. Chen's next plan?"

"Wait."

Chen Che's gaze shifted between the grandfather and granddaughter, saying: "I have already sent people to deliver the evidence to Beijing. As long as we can wait for the people from Beijing to arrive, we can resolve the Gu Family with the minimum cost. Of course, before that, we still have to find a way to rescue the people."

After Chen Che finished speaking, the room fell into silence for a moment.

Fang Shaoyi and Fang Yuying, the grandfather and granddaughter, exchanged glances several times, both looking like they wanted to speak but were holding back.

Chen Che frowned: "What is going on?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, tears streamed down Fang Yuying's face, covering it completely.

"Mr. Chen, we don't know how to tell you, but..."

Fang Shaoyi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "Just now, people from the Gu Family came and passed on a message saying you must go to the Gu Family before twelve o'clock tonight. If you are one minute late, your friends will be in danger."

Chen Che was not surprised: "It seems today's operation is already known to Gu Yuanzong. I had also intended to go to the Gu Family tonight to find out where my friends and family are being held."

"It wasn't just a message..."

Fang Shaoyi looked back at Fang Yuying again and stepped aside: "The person who delivered the message also brought a 'gift', saying it was from Gu Yuanzong for you."

"A gift?"

Chen Che's expression was puzzled, his gaze looking behind Fang Shaoyi—

On the table sat a square, very exquisite box.

Chen Che walked over slowly, but upon getting close, he suddenly smelled a scent of blood.

His body shook, and he froze in place. Beside him, Fang Yuying covered her mouth, already trembling all over from crying.

An inexplicable chill crept in from his pant legs, spreading across his entire back, and his heart was also invaded by the cold, slowly sinking.

His hand touched the box, and he opened it slowly, but after just one glance, he quickly closed it again.

"Hoo—hoo—"

Chen Che braced his hands against the table, his head hanging very low. As his shoulders heaved, his breathing became increasingly heavy.

"Mr. Chen, are... are you alright?"

Fang Shaoyi asked with concern, but he saw Chen Che's face flushed red, veins bulging. His whole body was trembling slightly; it was clear he was restraining himself, yet he was hovering on the edge of an outburst, and a slight carelessness would plunge him into a vortex of rage.

"I'm sorry..."

Fang Shaoyi heard a murmur, light as a mosquito, yet filled with endless sorrow and guilt.

"I will definitely kill him, definitely!"

Chen Che growled viciously, like a fierce beast awakening, preparing to take revenge on all his hateful, mortal enemies.

"Fang Family Head."

"Here!"

Fang Shaoyi gave a start. He clearly felt the anger of the young man before him and immediately responded respectfully.

"We can't wait for the people from Beijing. I am going to save the people tonight. Gu Yuanzong must have already laid out an ambush for everything, so... the war has begun."

Chen Che said in a calm tone, yet even Fang Yuying could perceive his restrained anger and his precarious sanity.

"The Fang Family swears to live and die with you, Sir!"

Fang Shaoyi said with ringing force.

"Good. Now gather everyone and come with me to the Gu Family!"

Chen Che took one last look at the box on the table and turned to leave.

Inside the box was a human head, the head of Su Xiao.

………

"Clang!"

The door to the detention room opened, startling the three generations of the Ma Family who were fast asleep.

"Stop sleeping, time for interrogation. The three of you, please."

The intruder's rough tone aroused Ma Zijun's dissatisfaction:

"In the middle of the night, won't you let people sleep? Who said to interrogate us? Tell him to come here himself! My grandfather is tired and it's not convenient for him to move!"

Ma Zijun glanced at his grandfather and father, who had also been startled awake, especially Ma Youxiang. He was old, and on top of not eating or sleeping well these past few days, he had lost a lot of weight; at this moment, he looked extremely weak.

"Zijun, it's alright, let's go."

With Ma Yiren's support, Ma Youxiang stood up, and the three of them left the detention room, heading toward the interrogation room.

Two people were guarding the door of the interrogation room, clearly waiting for the three generations of the Ma Family. They were the person in charge of this investigation, Director He, and the Huang Family Head, Huang Shili.

Originally, Huang Shili did not have this responsibility, but he had been working quite hard to curry favor with the Gu Family recently and had taken the initiative to vie for this opportunity for revenge.

"Grandfather, you're here again; you really have a lot of stamina."

Seeing Huang Shili, Ma Zijun spoke with biting sarcasm.

"Zijun, if you hadn't put righteousness before family back then, you wouldn't have to suffer here with your grandfather and the others now. However, considering you still have half of my Huang Family's blood in you, I can still let you out of here."

Huang Shili said, "As long as you admit your mistake to me and put righteousness before family once more by testifying that your grandfather and your father have indeed done wrong things."

"Grandfather, I will call you grandfather one last time."

Ma Zijun stared into Huang Shili's eyes, "Who is actually doing wrong, you know better than anyone in your heart. I will not go against my conscience to do anything or say anything!"

"Sigh—"

Huang Shili sighed, "What a pity. Since that's the case, don't blame your grandfather for not showing mercy."

"Director He, let's begin."

Huang Shili said this to Director He, then opened the door to the interrogation room.

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, a hurried shout came over.

Everyone turned their heads at the same time and saw someone who exceeded everyone's expectations.

Ma Zicheng.

It was not just Ma Zicheng, but also several bigwigs who held important positions in the Jinling government and public.

"Ma Zicheng, how did you get in?"

Huang Shili frowned and asked sternly.

Ma Zicheng glanced at Ma Zijun and the other two, his expression moved, but he suppressed his emotions, faced Huang Shili and Director He, and said, "The matter has been investigated clearly. My grandfather and my father have no problems at all, and my eldest brother's business is also reasonable and legal. Now I am taking them home!"

"Ridiculous!"

Huang Shili sneered, "What kind of thing are you? You say it's investigated clearly, so it's investigated clearly? Get out of here!"

"What I say might not count, but what these people say is a different matter."

Ma Zicheng stepped aside and looked at the bigwigs behind him.

"Old Liu, Old Zhao, and Old Sun, it's the middle of the night, why have you come here too, following this kid in his nonsense?"

Huang Shili looked at the three old friends leading the group and asked.

"Old Huang, we don't want to get involved in the feud between your two families, but the situation is different now. You must let Old Ma and the others go today."

The elderly man surnamed Liu looked at Director He and said, "Director He, we all know you only came to investigate the Ma Family because you received orders from Gu Yuanzong, but we can all testify to the Ma Family's innocence. We have all brought evidence, so you can investigate as you please."

"Old Liu..."

"Furthermore!"

Huang Shili's words were interrupted by Old Zhao, who took out his phone and showed the video on the screen to Huang Shili and Director He:

"The Gu Family's crimes have been confirmed. If you continue to make trouble with him, you are aiding the tyrant and acting as his accomplice."

Ma Zicheng took the opportunity to interject: "And a copy of the same evidence has been sent to Beijing. The Gu Family is finished!"

"What?!"

Huang Shili froze in place, his face full of astonishment.

Director He pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you all for the reminder. I will no longer concern myself with this matter, and I will go to Beijing to voluntarily request to be dealt with."

After Director He finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Huang Shili stood there, soul-lost, clearly still not having recovered from the shock just now.

"Father!"

A loud roar awakened Huang Shili from his daze. Huang Shengming ran over in a great hurry and said, "Father, Chen Che is leading the Fang Family and other Martial Dao families toward the Gu Family!"

"What?!"

Huang Shili was shocked again and nearly fainted.

"The Gu Family is finished. Grandfather should see the facts clearly as soon as possible and repent."

Ma Zicheng said.

Huang Shili breathed heavily, snorted coldly, and scanned the people present: "See the facts clearly? You are the ones who can't see the facts! Have you all forgotten? The reason the Gu Family can act tyrannically in Jinling is because the Gu Family are Imperial Relatives!"

"So what if the evidence is sent to Beijing? The Han Family and the Zhou Family will absolutely not stand by and watch!"

Huang Shili roared, "Chen Che, a mere brat, thinks he can shake the Gu Family by uniting other Martial Dao families? It's simply a pipe dream!"

"Since Patriarch Huang is obsessed and refuses to wake up, then there is nothing more to say."

Ma Zijun looked coldly at Huang Shili and Huang Shengming, "Our Ma Family will now gather our men to lend Chen Che a hand. Since Patriarch Huang has chosen to stand on the side of the Gu Family, then we shall each serve our own masters and meet on the battlefield."

"Fine, I want to see what you have to win with, and what Chen Che has to win with?!"

Huang Shili leaned heavily on his cane and glared fiercely at Ma Zijun and the others.

…………"I apologize for keeping everyone waiting for so long during this time; updates will resume this month.

There will be another chapter at eight o'clock."
