Chapter 870: Chapter 870

If this matter were directly reported to the Zhu Family, they would certainly fly into a rage and harshly punish Zhu Liang, but they would never make him disappear.

After all, he is still the Young Master Zhu, and although Zhu Yue was attacked, he didn’t die; his life was spared.

The Zhu Family will surely protect their own, only severely punishing Zhu Liang and ordering him not to cause trouble again.

If that happens, and Zhu Liang gets another chance in the future, he will definitely strike again, and be even more ruthless.

This kind of scum must be eliminated, absolutely no chance for him to strike again!

Zhu Liang, oh Zhu Liang, you are so insane to even go so far as to try to assassinate your own sister. Don’t blame me for being rude and making you disappear completely!

The best choice to easily deal with Zhu Liang is undoubtedly the Old Matriarch Bai.

In Beijing and even nationwide, Old Matriarch Bai’s prestige is unmatched.

She is neither a businesswoman nor a politician, yet she is the Family Head of the first Martial Arts Family in Dragon Country, the Bai Family, holding a transcendent position.

If someone of her stature wants to do something, there is almost nothing she can’t accomplish.

Making the Zhu Family hand over someone who has made a grave mistake, the Zhu Family won’t dare refuse, nor not afford her this respect!

As for the reason, having Old Matriarch Bai say Zhu Liang hired an assassin to kill Zhu Yue doesn’t seem appropriate.

Even if this is true, it’s ultimately Zhu Family’s own matter, and as an outsider, Old Matriarch Bai has no say in it.

Xu Qianli simply claimed that Zhu Family’s Young Master Zhu Liang hired assassins to kill him, Xu Qianli, who is the Bai Family’s grandson-in-law. Let Old Matriarch Bai step in and ask the Zhu Family to hand over Zhu Liang.

Zhu Liang wanting to kill Zhu Yue is a family matter, outsiders can’t interfere, but wanting to kill Bai Family’s grandson-in-law is definitely their affair.

After a phone call, Xu Qianli received a satisfying response; Old Matriarch Bai agreed wholeheartedly and promised to handle the matter well.

In Beijing, Old Matriarch Bai, in a fit of rage, shattered the stone landscape in her garden with one palm, turning the human-sized rock into powder instantly.

In the aftermath of her fury, with a wave of her hand, two figures appeared like ghosts before her, kneeling simultaneously at her feet, “Please instruct us, Old Matriarch!”

Old Matriarch Bai said, “Zhu Liang from the Zhu Family bribed the bodyguards closest to his sister Zhu Yue to rebel and assassinate Zhu Yue, even involving my Bai Family’s grandson-in-law who was almost killed. Go to the Zhu Family and have them hand over the person! Pass along my message: if they dare not hand him over, I will personally lead people to annihilate the Zhu Family!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

The two vanished as quickly as they arrived, transforming into two streaks of light that disappeared swiftly.

The Zhu Family.

The Zhu Family’s old mansion is located in the city center, originally a royal palace from the previous dynasty, it’s extremely imposing.

Zhu Liang returned home swaggeringly, found his father, mother, and grandfather, and asked them to do something, to arrange for someone to take over the City Secretary’s position in Zhongzhou City.

Since he already agreed to cooperate with the stunning female shadow from the Qingshan Association, Zhu Liang was determined to get this matter done well.

To him, securing a City Secretary position wasn’t a big deal at all; his parents and grandfather should agree easily.

Who knew that as soon as he spoke, he got scolded fiercely by his father, questioning why he was meddling in such matters.

His mother also had questions, stating he’s never been concerned about officialdom, and suddenly wanting to arrange for a City Secretary definitely had a reason; he had to clarify, or they absolutely wouldn’t help him.

The grandfather didn’t ask anything but had his curiosity written all over his face, also wondering why he wanted to do such a thing.

Zhu Liang had already prepared an explanation, saying he felt he owed his ex-wife, Lan Mengni, too much, and wanted to rekindle their relationship.

However, it wasn’t suitable to approach Lan Mengni directly, as it would certainly not succeed.

So he wanted to take a roundabout route, securing someone as Zhongzhou City’s City Secretary to look after his sister Lan Qianrong, who was serving as a County Magistrate in Jiang City County, thereby earning Lan Mengni’s goodwill, slowly repairing the rift between them and eventually bringing her back home.

As soon as he said this, his parents and grandfather’s expressions changed, looking at him with much appreciation.

His mother was particularly delighted, praising him for finally coming to his senses, realizing Lan Mengni’s worth.

Lan Mengni, that daughter-in-law, his mother liked her in every way possible, and because she had divorced Zhu Liang, it had been a difficult time for her.

Upon hearing that Zhu Liang had turned a new leaf and wanted to bring Lan Mengni back home, she couldn’t be happier, wholeheartedly agreeing to help him, asking his father to arrange it, making sure someone secured the City Secretary position in Zhongzhou City.

His father also expressed his support immediately; such a minor matter meant nothing to the Zhu Family, and he would handle it, choosing a suitable candidate to take over.

After agreeing, his father brought up Lan Mengni again, asking Zhu Liang to make sure to bring her back.

Lan Mengni wasn’t just virtuous and beautiful; she was also the Bai Family’s heiress, capable of matching the Zhu Family. Bringing her back would make their families in-laws again, certainly strengthening the Zhu Family’s power, an excellent opportunity for the family not to be missed.

Zhu Liang wholeheartedly agreed, committing to bringing Lan Mengni back home soon, but in his heart, he was indifferent.

Bah, who cares about Lan Mengni! He, Zhu Liang, aimed to pursue more powerful women and align with even stronger families.

With the Qingshan Association behind him, Zhu Liang’s future power would be unimaginable, and with his burgeoning strength, he would capture even more beautiful women.

Hehe, he just had a thing for beauties; he couldn’t stay away from them in his lifetime; the prettier they were, the more he wanted to have them.

As for Lan Mengni, at worst, he would have her return to the Zhu Family as someone to warm his feet, and her sister Lan Qianrong, too, to warm his feet and his bed, to savor the taste of those exceptional sisters.

While dreaming of capturing the Lan sisters together, someone suddenly came visiting, forcefully intruding into the Zhu Family.

Zhu Liang was furious, “Who are you people, daring to break into our Zhu Family, are you rebelling against heaven?”

Motioning at Zhu Liang to quiet down, recognizing the unusual nature of the intruders, the old master Zhu asked, “May I ask who you both are and why you’ve forcefully entered our home?”

“Old Master Zhu, we are from the Bai Family. Old Matriarch Bai sent us to tell you a few things. Zhu Liang attempted to have his sister Zhu Yue assassinated unsuccessfully, and during the attack, even targeted our Old Matriarch’s grandson-in-law. Our Old Matriarch’s grandson-in-law was almost killed! We’ve come to take away Zhu Liang by Old Matriarch’s command!”

Upon hearing this, the old Master suddenly glared at Zhu Liang, “Is there such a thing? You beast, trying to kill even your own sister, and daring to target Old Matriarch Bai’s grandson-in-law, how dare you!”

Suddenly, Zhu Liang’s face went pale.

Damn, what’s going on, how did hiring those bodyguards to kill Zhu Yue also involve the Bai family’s grandson-in-law, almost getting him killed?

Who doesn’t know how formidable the Bai Family is, who doesn’t know Old Matriarch Bai is well-tempered, treating people kindly, but never allows anyone to touch her people, especially not her grandson-in-law!

This, this wasn’t an assassin, it was clearly troublemaking for him.

Plop… Zhu Liang fell to his knees, “It’s nothing to do with me, I really didn’t involve the Bai Family, it’s nothing to do with me.”
