The Wang Family from the South
The Wang Family from the South
She raised her head and looked at the somber expression on Xie Limo's face. She asked, "I really was too fierce just now, wasn't I?"
Xie Limo caressed Yun Bixue's hair and gently murmured, "Even if you were fierce, my wife is still the most adorable person to me in my heart." He would never admit that he actually admired how she behaved like an enraged kitten with its hairs standing on end.
Her earlier attitude was strong, and it granted him some comfort. What he hoped for was that she would always be able to protect herself when he was not beside her to guard her.
"Then in the future, I—"
Before Yun Bixue could complete her sentence, Xie Limo interrupted her. "In the future, my wife should be fierce when she needs to. When Mother was by your side, didn't she get into fights several times? You can learn more from Mother."
Yun Bixue recalled how cool and dominating her mother-in-law had been. Her heart swelled up with admiration and she no longer felt conflicted over how violent she had been. "Seeing Shen Zhengyao just now, I just felt a surge of anger inside me. Anyway, I did it for my own reasons."
Xie Limo nodded and said, "I know. You wanted him to admit the existence of the Shen family's men of sacrifice. As long as that secret is forcibly revealed, the Shen family will truly be subdued."
Yun Bixue's eyes lit up, and she commented, "Limo, you really read my mind."
Amused, Xie Limo shook his head and said, "More like I understand my wife well."
After Shen Zhengyao was thrown out, he was coincidentally blocked by several reporters. With a few close-up shots, he made the front-page headlines of the newspapers.
Despite experiencing the earlier incident and harboring fear for Yun Bixue within himself, Shen Zhengyao truly started to hate Yun Bixue. He definitely had to seek revenge for what she did.
A sinister glint flashed across Shen Zhengyao's eyes, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before staggering home. Just as he was racking his brain for ideas, he received a call from a stranger.
"Who are you?"
"You don't need to care about who I am; I'm just someone who can help you. If you want my help, then go to… Someone will meet you there."
Shen Zhengyao went ahead, even though he felt skeptical. In a building, an old man wearing a cap requested for him to activate his family's men of sacrifice.
"I can't do that. The Shen family's men of sacrifice can only be activated by the heir." He still wasn't clear if this man was friend or foe, so he naturally wouldn't reveal his secrets.
The old man chortled, "What if I say I represent the Wang family from the South?"
Shen Zhengyao's expression changed drastically. The Northern Xie and Southern Wang! Could this be the Wang family that were once rivals with the Xie family a thousand years ago? The Xie family had controlled the North, and the Wang family the South.
Did the Wang family want to attack the Xie family?
"You should consider it carefully. Only our Wang family from the South can handle the Xie family. Your Shen family can only survive if Xie Limo is taken down with one strike…"
The old man advised him patiently and thoroughly, and his words stirred up Shen Zhengyao's heart.
Noticing that Shen Zhengyao was almost convinced, the old man gave a reminder, "Old Master Shen is bedridden now. As his grandson, it's not impossible to obtain the family's stamp to command the family's men of sacrifice, right?"
This sentence instantly struck a chord with Shen Zhengyao. The greed in his heart escalated and grew uncontrollable.
Yun Bixue and Xie Limo had arranged for someone to monitor Shen Zhengyao constantly . Looking at the blurred image on the laptop in her hands, Yun Bixue said, "Limo, this old man is quite stealthy. I don't think we should let him go."
"My wife is so clever. This person might be someone insignificant, but he can serve as a warning to others. If the opponent can utilize the Shen family's men of sacrifice, we can also do the opposite and likewise exploit them." Xie Limo's voice was as calm as a breeze, speaking as though this was an everyday topic.
