CHAPTER 1023: CHAPTER 1023

The harsh words from Second Brother Xu made Zhang Yang’s heart race with fear.

This guy really is insane, he could come up with such a twisted idea.

Xu Zhuang seemed to be meeting his several-decades-younger brother for the first time, all along he’d cherished this familial bond.

So even though Second Brother Xu had made many mistakes, Xu Zhuang could always choose to forgive and even clean up after him.

He never thought Second Brother Xu would point the knife at his own daughter, intending to cut her open.

"Second Brother Xu, you a**hole, how can you do this to me?"

"How can you do this to our parents? You beast, get out, get out here right now."

Standing at the doorway, Xu Zhuang cursed loudly into the room, but Second Brother Xu didn’t respond for a long time, until Xu Zhuang was exhausted from yelling. Then through the loudspeaker, Second Brother Xu shouted to Xu Zhuang:

"Big brother, I told you, in the end, I will compensate Xu Mengyan with my life." That’s all Second Brother Xu said.

It could be seen that to deal with Zhang Yang, he’s made up his mind to go all the way to the end.

Zhang Yang’s face turned cold, it seemed this battle was inevitable; the key now was that Zhang Yang was also troubled.

This maniac Second Brother Xu had completely lost his mind.

If he forced his way in, not to mention the mines and bombs buried underground, which could take his life, even if he got inside, how could he save Xu Mengyan?

"Xu Zhuang, do you have any good ideas? If you do, hurry and tell me." Zhang Yang usually doesn’t ask for help, unless he really has no other option.

But for a long time, he didn’t get a response from Xu Zhuang. When he looked back, good heavens, the old man was more panicked than he was, pacing back and forth behind, looking helpless.

It was obvious that Xu Zhuang was unreliable, Zhang Yang could only rely on himself.

At this moment, Second Brother Xu’s voice came again through the loudspeaker, "Big brother, stop wandering around, you only have one chance now, kill Zhang Yang immediately, and I’ll let Xu Mengyan go."

"Zhang Yang, you better listen closely, you’d best not resist, if you dare to resist even a little, I’ll let you see what your child looks like. It’s only four months old now, I wonder if you two father and son will meet early? It all depends on your choice."

Zhang Yang clenched his fists tightly, unable to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

Upon hearing these words, Xu Zhuang instinctively looked at Zhang Yang.

It was at this moment when suddenly a drone appeared overhead.

Zhang Yang and Xu Zhuang simultaneously looked up, and then saw a long knife dropped from the drone.

The knife finally fell between Zhang Yang and Xu Zhuang, and Second Brother Xu said through the loudspeaker: "Big brother, do you remember this knife?"

"Back when we first arrived here, we offended many people, and were pursued by dozens. Just when someone was about to cut you with a knife, I took that knife for you, this knife wedged directly between my bones."

"You once said that if we ever had a disagreement, once I brought out this knife, you would support me."

Xu Zhuang never expected Second Brother Xu to bring out this knife.

The memories were vivid, this incident could never be forgotten.

The brotherly bond between them was really deep, when he blocked that knife for him back then, Second Brother Xu didn’t hesitate at all.

Even afterward, he merely laughed it off, saying that if it happened again, he would do the same thing.

At that time, they worked hard together in this country, from scratch to build a huge business empire, the most important reason was the unity between the two brothers.

Unexpectedly, things have come to this today.

Xu Zhuang calmed down a lot, bent down, and picked up the knife from the ground.

Then he said to Second Brother Xu: "Come out, big brother wants to have a good talk with you, don’t harm your niece, okay? Big brother is begging you."

"Stop nagging me, does big brother’s promise still count for anything?"

"Whether for the promise or for your daughter, now immediately use this knife and kill Zhang Yang."

"After killing Zhang Yang, whatever you want to do, it’s fine, I will absolutely not shirk responsibility."

However, in the next second, Xu Zhuang suddenly knelt down.

Simultaneously, he whispered to Zhang Yang: "Later, find an opportunity for yourself."

Zhang Yang was very surprised, he didn’t expect Xu Zhuang to actually not want to kill him.

This was vastly different from what he expected; it didn’t make sense, Xu Zhuang shouldn’t treat him kindly.

But now was not the time for Zhang Yang to consider these things, since Xu Zhuang was willing to create an opportunity for him, Zhang Yang certainly wouldn’t waste it.

Xu Zhuang’s sudden kneeling seemed to also have shocked Second Brother Xu greatly, making him curse through the loudspeaker.

"Big brother, are you crazy? I’m just asking you to kill Zhang Yang, is this thing so hard? Just kill him and it’s all done with..."

It seemed that Second Brother Xu was somewhat broken down, which even Zhang Yang did not expect.

Zhang Yang was ready to move, as soon as there was an opportunity, he would rush in immediately.

After listening to Second Brother Xu’s yelling, Xu Zhuang shouted again loudly: "Big brother knows you have hatred in your heart, but don’t harm your niece, if anything, come at big brother."

"I’m going in now, let’s talk nicely, you release your niece, my life is yours."

With that, Xu Zhuang stood up and truly stepped inside, walking forward as if resigned to whatever comes.

This scene really startled Second Brother Xu inside.

"Big brother, are you crazy? Stop! There are bombs buried in the courtyard."

Of course, Xu Zhuang was aware. At this moment, Xu Zhuang was covered in cold sweat.

He had already taken three steps, and the next step could potentially trigger a bomb or landmine.

Zhang Yang glanced down and also sweated for Xu Zhuang, although he didn’t particularly care for Xu Zhuang’s life, if Xu Zhuang died, Xu Mengyan would likely be heartbroken.

Zhang Yang took the chance, while Xu Zhuang was drawing Second Brother Xu’s attention, to quickly take out his phone and look at it.

As expected, he saw a message from Liang Yanyun.

They were almost there, and Liang Yanyun also told Zhang Yang one more thing — the drone above their heads was now under Liang Yanyun’s control.

Liang Yanyun asked Zhang Yang to try to buy some time, while she manipulated the drone to search for Xu Mengyan’s location.

Zhang Yang saw a large boulder by the roadside, then immediately went to pick it up. It was about fifty pounds, should be enough. Then Zhang Yang used his arms with force and threw the stone into the yard; the next second, with a loud boom, the rock was blown into the air.

The still-intending-to-go-further Xu Zhuang was so frightened by this that he fell to the ground.
