Chapter 1355: The Lorraine Family No Longer Needs to Exist

Franz gave a sinister laugh, revealing a mouthful of blood-red teeth as he looked at Liu Zheng.

"It's a pity you aren't here today; otherwise, if you died, your wife would have to belong to me."

Liu Zheng's expression turned cold, his anger rising steadily as he glared at the arrogant Franz.

Seeing Liu Zheng's furious face, Franz actually broke into a grin.

"But this is fine too. As long as you let me go, I will let you see how your wife becomes a plaything beneath me!"

"Hahaha..." Franz laughed wildly.

But suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly. Franz looked at Liu Zheng's face in horror, his throat barely able to speak: "You..."

Liu Zheng's expression was indifferent. One hand gripped his neck, and a chilling murderous aura erupted suddenly.

"Dare to insult my wife."

"You're courting death!"

Liu Zheng slammed him down hard, and Franz's head hit the floor directly, bright red blood splattering out.

Franz lost consciousness instantly.

He lay on the ground motionless, not knowing if he was dead or alive.

Seeing this scene, Franz's mistress was scared silly. She knew that this menace Franz spent his days using flowery words and had done many bad things, earning the hatred of others.

But she never expected someone to be so fierce, beating Franz into such a miserable state.

Moreover, a Longyan person had not the slightest bit of hesitation; this was in Austria.

At this moment, Longyan was still at war with Austria.

Yet this Longyan person dared to be this arrogant.

"You... you dare to beat him like this!"

Liu Zheng didn't even glance at her, hurrying back to his residence.

There was only one thing on his mind now: the safety of Xie Chan.

Glancing at the unconscious Franz on the ground, Liu Zheng's eyes were icy. He hadn't expected this menace to be so daring.

He had hit Teresa and was thinking of kidnapping Xie Chan.

The Lorraine Family, is it? There is no longer any need for them to exist.

Liu Zheng hurried back to his residence, feeling extremely anxious.

Although he had hidden many traps in his residence just in case, he was still worried about the "what if."

The night began to fade, and the sky gradually brightened.

Liu Zheng had crossed almost the entirety of Vienna to return to his residence, which looked unusually calm from the outside.

But Liu Zheng's heart was not calm, because the door to his room was left ajar.

Someone had snuck in.

"Move!"

Liu Zheng walked into his residence, and upon seeing the scene on the floor, his expression changed, and he hurriedly looked toward Xie Chan's room.

Oh no!

The traps he had left behind had all been triggered; Xie Chan was in danger!

Liu Zheng took two steps in one, quickly arriving at the door of Xie Chan's room, only to see her door tightly shut.

But Liu Zheng had a bad premonition.

"Xie Chan, Xie Chan!" Liu Zheng called out twice, but no one answered.

His heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly opened the door and saw the scene inside was a mess. The room was not large, and several assassins who had triggered his traps were lying there, but there was no sign of Xie Chan.

Endless rage suddenly rose in Liu Zheng's heart.

But just at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Liu Zheng.

"I'm here."

Liu Zheng turned around abruptly, and seeing the unharmed Xie Chan, the corners of his eyes actually grew a little moist.

"Chan'er, are you alright?"

"What could happen to me? Did you forget what I've done before?" Xie Chan felt a warmth in her heart, but she still said it in a carefree manner.

Liu Zheng picked up Xie Chan, a smile appearing on his face.

"It's good that you're okay. I was just worried..."

Xie Chan was smiling on the outside, and her heart was blooming with joy, but at this moment, she saw that there were other people behind the door.

"

Ahem..." Xie Chan gave two reminders.

Liu Zheng didn't care at all; he continued to hold Xie Chan and said in a soft, gentle voice: "This is all my fault this time. I should have let our people stay to protect your safety."

"Ahem, there are people here," Xie Chan whispered.

Only then did Liu Zheng remember. He hurriedly looked behind him and discovered Ling Chen leading the group, hiding behind the wall.

As soon as Ling Chen saw Liu Zheng's gaze come over, he immediately flashed away.

But he had still been discovered.

Liu Zheng feigned a cough twice: "Ahem."

He walked out, watched Ling Chen lead the team to stand at attention, and Liu Zheng swept a glance at him before saying to the group.

"You all go back."

Hearing these words, the group acted as if they had received an imperial decree and immediately left their Chief Councilor's home.

Ling Chen also thought about sneaking away, but Liu Zheng suddenly said: "Ling Chen, you stay!"

Ling Chen's heart skipped a beat. That cold, stern face of his, which usually never had a smile, now actually squeezed out a trace of one.

"My lord, look at this..."

Liu Zheng let out a cold snort; where was the courage you had for gossiping just a moment ago?

However, it was not because of this matter that Liu Zheng called him to a halt, but for the safety of Xie Chan.

Today, if not for Xie Chan's skills, he feared he would have regretted it for a lifetime; ever since Prince Yong arrived with the Dragon Flame guards.

His own vigilance had relaxed; he had not expected that even after laying out a net of heaven and earth, he would still let this group of people sneak in.

"Ling Chen, you are now responsible for the security here," Liu Zheng said sternly.

Ling Chen acknowledged the order.

Just then, Xie Chan walked out from inside and said indifferently, "No need, only one expert came last night."

"I can handle it."

Liu Zheng frowned deeply and slapped the table: "No, what if something happens?"

Xie Chan glanced at Liu Zheng, having long expected him to say this, and she returned to the room to drag out a hog-tied assassin.

"Now you believe me, right?" Xie Chan laughed.

Woo woo woo...

This assassin had his mouth gagged and could not speak.

Xie Chan kicked him twice, made a gesture, pointed it at his forehead, and said coldly, "Be quiet."

The assassin immediately fell silent.

Ling Chen was somewhat surprised; he knew a little about what Xie Chan was capable of.

But as soon as Liu Zheng saw that gesture, he immediately understood what was going on and rolled his eyes.

"I see he has something to say," Liu Zheng stepped forward.

Xie Chan hurriedly tried to stop Liu Zheng, but she failed to hold him back; Liu Zheng yanked the object out of the assassin's mouth.

The assassin immediately began to curse: "You woman, what kind of skill is it to point a gun at me!"

Liu Zheng looked at the embarrassed Xie Chan.

"Ling Chen, the security work here is handed over to you."

Ling Chen agreed, and this time Xie Chan had nothing to say.

However, looking at this assassin, Liu Zheng's gaze gradually turned cold.

He had not expected the Duke of Lorraine to send a killer directly.

"My lord, this assassin, can we...?" Ling Chen made a gesture, indicating that he could silently finish him off and bury him.

But Liu Zheng said: "No need, keep him for now; I have a great use for him."

"Ling Chen, pass down my order: the Dragon Flame Army is to accelerate its progress in Austria, but do not harm any civilians; violators will be executed!"

"At the same time, tell our people in Vienna to spread the word about what happened to me, Liu Sheng, last night; it is best to let all the people of Vienna know that it was the work of the Duke of Lorraine."

"The Lorraine Family no longer needs to exist in Vienna."
