“Yeah!”
Five seconds later, Fourth Miss actually jumped up and cheered. She clearly knew she had lost but wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, she hopped and skipped towards Tang Ke Ke.
“Big sister, you’re amazing!”
Fourth Miss praised her happily.
“You’re amazing too!”
Tang Ke Ke spoke sincerely. In her opinion, Fourth Miss, at such a young age, had taken her full-power punch without getting hurt. This kind of strength was already extremely rare.
“I’m still too green!”
Fourth Miss laughed generously.
“How about it, surrender?”
“Must surrender, I give up!”
With a thud, the grinning Fourth Miss actually knelt on the ground. She kowtowed three times to Tang Ke Ke, then stood up and plopped down on the sofa.
This action stunned Tang Ke Ke!
It stunned Ye Zi Xiao too!
Xiao Jian, who had been flung away and landed face-first, crawled up crying and pointed at Fourth Miss. “Stop playing around, you idiot! Hurry up and save me, or I’ll be tortured to death.”
“None of my business?”
Fourth Miss replied disdainfully.
“I’m your brother, you idiot!”
“Forget it. We’re not related by blood. I was adopted; I don’t have Xiao family blood flowing through me. Don’t think that just because you raised me, you can make me sell my life for you.”
“Damn it!”
Xiao Jian lunged at Fourth Miss.
“Scram!”
Fourth Miss slapped him away with a resounding slap. She tidied her clothes and said to Ye Zi Xiao, “From now on, I surrender. I’m your person.”
“Uh!”
Ye Zi Xiao was completely dumbfounded.
An hour later, the third floor quieted down. Under the fierce onslaught of Leng Shao and Shan Ge’s group, everyone, including Xiao Jian, all the second-generation officials, and the big bosses, had submitted!
The staff gathered in a huddle.
The dignitaries and influential figures were all tied up.
The guests on the second and first floors had already fled. News of the Wan Hua Lou being trashed and controlled would spread quickly, even without civilian signals.
Third floor.
Ye Zi Xiao leaned back on the sofa and instructed Leng Shao and Shan Ge, “Throw them at the staircase entrance. Anyone who dares to rush up, kill as many as come, and then throw their heads down.”
“Understood!”
“Just watch us!”
After a few hours of coordination, Leng Shao and Shan Ge had developed some tacit understanding. They immediately led their men into action, throwing the sons of officials, led by Xiao Jian, all at the staircase entrance.
“I’m going to sleep for a bit!”
Ye Zi Xiao lay down on the sofa.
“You guys sleep, I’ll keep watch.”
Fourth Miss, not far away, said earnestly.
“What a good girl!”
Tang Ke Ke liked her more and more.
An hour later…
The sky began to dawn!
At the west entrance of Jiang Cheng, three transport vehicles, led by a local military officer, successfully entered the chaotic urban area. After driving for a while, they drove into a military compound.
The military green tarpaulin was pulled back.
About a hundred people jumped out of the cargo bays of the three trucks. Most of them were strong young men, standing with their backs straight, gathering silently.
Soon.
A woman in white walked towards the lead vehicle.
Her name was Jiang Xiao Yao!
“Brigadier Wang.”
Jiang Xiao Yao walked towards the leading officer and said with a smile, “I truly admire your courage. At this time, you still dare to bring us into the city. This is something that could cost you your head?!”
“Sect Master Jiang is joking.”
A Brigadier surnamed Wang from the Xiao family’s army said righteously, “The Xiao family are rebels, war criminals who harm the nation and its people. I, Old Wang, am not a traitor, never.”
“Well said, Brigadier Wang. I respect you as a man, and I sincerely thank you. After we win, I will definitely not treat you poorly.”
“For the country and the people, it is my duty.”
“Good!”
Jiang Xiao Yao nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time.
The Lin family in Beihai.
In the villa, where the lights had been on all night, Lin Qing Zhu was collapsed on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket. She couldn’t sleep at all, always feeling a sense of unease, as if something bad was about to happen.
Outside the villa area.
In a dark alley, some thin figures appeared. They were all masked, revealing only their eyes. Each of them carried a saber on their back.
“When do we make our move?”
A short leader asked.
“No rush. Wait until the fighting starts.”
A woman in black leading the group replied.
Beihai North Entrance.
Hu Lai’s reconnaissance company commander reported that the enemy had entered artillery range. Twenty thousand mechanized troops could launch an attack on their army at any moment.
“Has the reinforcement arrived?”
An officer asked loudly.
“Report, it still needs time.”
Someone from the communications department replied.
“How much longer?”
“About three hours.”
“Damn it…”
“Old Lu, don’t rush!”
Mayor Hu Lai, who usually had a fiery temper, was exceptionally steady at this moment. He said with a smile, “The Xiao family army is just cannon fodder. We have ample ammunition; they won’t be able to break through.”
“Division Commander, the troop disparity is too great!”
Deputy Division Commander Lu was truly anxious.
This was because Lei Guo An’s reinforcements had not arrived.
“Mere rabble!”
Hu Lai suddenly stood up and said loudly, “I order the anti-aircraft units to be on constant standby. The artillery and rocket regiments are loaded with ammunition. If the enemy opens fire, then counter-attack fiercely.”
“Yes!”
The generals stood at attention and saluted.
About thirty kilometers away from the North Entrance, the twenty thousand allied forces of the Xiao family and the Ri Luo country had arrayed their formations and prepared for battle. Two rocket regiments and a heavy artillery brigade were awaiting the order to fire.
“Commander Xiao, shall we begin?”
Inside the command post, the commander of the Ri Luo country’s First Army, Bao Sha, with a cigar in his mouth, said to Xiao Si Hai, “The timing is perfect. Taking advantage of their reinforcements not having arrived, we can take the North Entrance in one fell swoop.”
“Wait a moment longer!”
Xiao family army’s Commander-in-Chief Xiao Si Hai said with a stern expression, “I received news that something seems to have happened in Jiang Cheng. It wouldn’t be too late to attack after I confirm the situation.”
“What a stupid pig!”
Bao Sha cursed under his breath and turned to leave.
“What could possibly happen?”
Xiao Si Hai was truly a little nervous.
But he never dreamed that his own nephew had been captured by Ye Zi Xiao, and that the sons of many high-ranking officers in his army had also fallen into Ye Zi Xiao’s hands.
Even more preposterous.
His own daughter had defected to Ye Zi Xiao!
Back to Jiang Cheng…
Inside the Xiao family’s massive castle, in the fortress specially built for this major battle, Commander-in-Chief Xiao Ba Huang was completely dumbfounded because the news he received was extremely unfavorable to his army.
“Say that again?”
Xiao Ba Huang asked an officer.
“Report, Commander-in-Chief, the news has been confirmed. The one who trashed the place is Ye Zi Xiao. Xiao Jian and over thirty officers’ sons, as well as many capitalist heirs, have all been controlled.”
“Damn it!”
Bang!
Xiao Ba Huang smashed the table directly.
He roared furiously, “Ye Zi Xiao, Ye Zi Xiao, you are truly brazen! I’ve been looking for you everywhere, and you dare to trash my place. You’re making me so angry!”
“Damn Ye Zi Xiao!”
Xiao Er Hu cursed and was about to leave.
This was because Xiao Jian was his son.
“Second Brother, calm down.”
Xiao San Tai stopped Xiao Er Hu and said rationally, “Ye Zi Xiao dares to take hostages, so he’s not afraid of you attacking forcefully. Besides, this kind of matter absolutely cannot be leaked. It would be troublesome if it spread into the army.”
“Go to hell!”
Xiao Er Hu raised his hand and roared, “Securing the news is your business. I must go save my son now. Ye Zi Xiao must die; even gods can’t save him, I say!”
