Su Nanyin, who had calculated that Li Qianfan would come to the Du family and arrived at the Du residence as quickly as possible, did not call the police to have local special forces arrive first and stop Li Qianfan's killing spree.
This was because—
After Su Nanyin personally witnessed Xu Zengtian being brutally smashed to death on the ground by Li Qianfan, she knew he had made up his mind to go on a killing rampage!
Anyone who came to protect those Li Qianfan intended to kill would become his enemy!!
Su Nanyin did not want innocent local special forces to clash with Li Qianfan while protecting the Du family.
If Li Qianfan killed members of the Du family, Su Nanyin was confident she could handle it for him.
But what if he harmed innocent special forces?
Besides,
The Du family was clearly bringing ruin upon themselves; why should innocent people be implicated?
Not only did Su Nanyin not call the police herself, but she also telephoned Manager Zhao, urging him not to take any action.
She only hoped that Li Qianfan had not yet begun his massacre when she arrived at the Du residence.
However, those five corpses told her forcefully.
Her hope was merely wishful thinking!
Li Qianfan had not only hanged these people but had also left the Du family to find his next target.
"Alas, I hope Xiao Lang can stop him,"
Su Nanyin sighed and opened the car door to get out.
She turned and instructed, "Hu Zi, take the bodies down and move them to the courtyard of the old Du residence."
Hu Zi and the others responded with a sound, quickly rushed to the door, and after taking down the thoroughly deceased individuals, dragged them directly into the courtyard.
At this moment—
Hundreds of people had already gathered on the roads near the old Du residence, watching and discussing the situation.
From a distance, the urgent sound of sirens could be heard rapidly approaching.
Su Nanyin glanced back and, accompanied by Su Xin, quickly walked into the old residence.
In the courtyard.
Seeing that the person who entered was not the god of death, Li Qianfan, Elder Du and the others couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Among the more than ten people, only Elder Du recognized Su Nanyin.
Upon seeing it was Su Nanyin, immense rage and chilling killing intent quickly surfaced in Elder Du's ashen eyes!
He hissed lowly, "Su Nanyin! Do you see? Do you see!?"
"I certainly do."
After entering, Su Nanyin immediately saw the woman who had been hanged at the entrance of the living room.
Elder Du stared at her fiercely and walked forward step by step, "Don't you have anything to say!?"
"I do."
Su Nanyin nodded and said, "I hope the Du family will issue a public statement. These individuals perished after accidentally ingesting spoiled food during a dinner gathering at the old Du residence, thus sacrificing Qingqing's life. The old Du residence has therefore become a haunted house, no longer suitable for anyone to live in. With the deaths of these people, the backbone of the Si Jiu Du family has been broken. No one can now prop up the vast Du family business. The Du family will have to dispose of some enterprises. Then, Elder Du, you should take those who were lucky enough to not be poisoned and leave Si Jiu, returning to your ancestral home. Only then might the Du family have a chance to survive."
What?
Li Qianfan brutally murdered seven core pillars of our Du family!
Not only do you not help us punish that brat, but you also want our Du family to disappear from Si Jiu from now on!?
Elder Du, staring intently at Su Nanyin, his nostrils flaring violently and his aged face flushing red.
At any moment, he seemed likely to pounce and tear this noble and peerless beauty to shreds.
"You can, of course, choose not to heed my advice."
Su Nanyin, with her hands tucked into the pockets of her black mink coat, met Elder Du's gaze.
Her tone was calm, "I will not persuade you further. But I must remind you of three facts."
One.
Who gave the Du family the audacity to dispatch Du Wei to open fire on Li Qianfan the moment he returned to the country, after Li Qianfan had risked his life to relieve the Black Water Forest?
Two.
How many more people can the Du family afford to lose?
Three.
If the Du family does not leave Si Jiu, the Li family village will mobilize all its resources to utterly crush and erase the Du family!
After hearing Su Nanyin present these three facts, Elder Du miraculously calmed down.
"Elder Du, think about it carefully. This time, it was me who came. Next time, it might be Li Wujiang! If she can easily let go of the Du family who attempted to shoot her only son. Heh heh, I'll dig out these eyes and let you use them as stepping stones."
After making her point clear, Su Nanyin turned to leave.
As she left.
She couldn't help but shake her head, "The Si Jiu Du family surprisingly has no intelligent person. If there were one, they would have sought him out to apologize before Li Qianfan began his massacre of the Du family. Heh heh, the Du family is nothing more than that!"
Boom.
An invisible thunderclap exploded in Elder Du's ears.
Su Nanyin's words suddenly brought Du Feng to his mind.
His youngest son, the one he detested the most.
Because before Du Feng was driven away by him, he had earnestly advised them to seek out Li Qianfan immediately and apologize.
Unfortunately, no one in the Du family was willing to listen.
The result?
Six corpses, swaying in the wind!
Su Nanyin arrived, not only offering no "sympathy" to the Du family or vowing to provide an explanation but instead urging them to "smooth things over" and quickly get out of Si Jiu!!
Li Qianfan killing in front.
Su Nanyin driving them away from behind.
The two of them cooperated seamlessly.
Outside the door, hurried footsteps approached.
It was Du Feng, who had been driven away.
Du Feng's face was pale as he rushed in and cried out, "Dad!"
Then he froze.
He saw the bodies of Du Liang and the others, and Long Yun hanging at the entrance of the main hall.
Although he had received news of the Du family's massacre before rushing in,
Upon seeing the bodies, he paused for a moment, staggered, and leaned against the wall.
Looking at his least favored youngest son—
Elder Du, with a multitude of emotions swirling within him, finally made the most important and correct decision of his remaining life.
He asked Du Feng, "Du Feng, Li Qianfan has been here. Now, what should we do? Should we go all out against Li Qianfan?"
"Go all out against Li Qianfan?"
Du Feng, regaining his senses, his face changed dramatically, "Dad, absolutely do not do that. If you truly do that, our Du family will be completely finished. Because no one is willing, or rather, no one dares, to risk being slaughtered by Li Qianfan to help us Du family! Don't forget, Li Wujiang, who has an even heavier killing intent, has not yet appeared! If she comes, we might all die."
Elder Du closed his eyes.
Then he opened them, "Then tell me, what should we do?"
Hoo!
Du Feng exhaled a long breath and said in a deep voice, "Announce to the public that Du Liang and the others died accidentally and have no connection to Li Qianfan whatsoever. As long as we swallow our pride and endure, even if Li Wujiang appears, she won't be able to completely annihilate us. Moreover, it would be best for us to abandon Si Jiu and return to our hometown to develop."
Du Feng continued, "Because of this incident, our Du family has lost all prestige in Si Jiu. If we don't promptly dispose of the high-quality assets in Si Jiu, some people might slowly nibble them away. The most terrifying of these is the Shen family of Si Jiu. They have suffered severe losses and hope for high-quality industries more than ever. When the Du family suffers losses, they won't care if we are allies!"
He paused.
Du Feng said, "Any alliance is built on equal strength! Once the core strength of our Du family is severely depleted, we will also lose the strength to ally with the Shen family!"
Looking at his youngest son speaking eloquently.
Elder Du suddenly laughed.
A mad, frenzied laughter, with tears streaming down his face, he staggered.
Du Feng rushed forward to support him, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong. I just feel like I, at my age, have been living like a dog. Ha, haha. That's what led to the deaths of Du Liang and the others."
Crying and laughing, Elder Du raised his hand to wipe his tears.
His hoarse voice commanded sternly, "Du Feng! From this moment on, you are the head of the Du family. All matters, big and small, are decided by you."
Huh!?
Du Feng stood there dumbfounded.
"Su Nanyin—"
Elder Du looked up at the sky and shouted hoarsely, "Our Du family ultimately has one person with considerable wisdom! You underestimated the Du family. Ha, haha, you underestimated the Du family."
The wind blew.
Scattering Elder Du's words into fragments.
It blew up the curtains of a fifth-floor window in a dormitory building of a certain university.
As the Spring Festival was approaching, the holiday had already begun, and students had returned home one after another. The campus, usually noisy, was much quieter than usual.
Some elderly people were strolling, dancing, or playing badminton on the small square not far from the dormitory area for exercise.
Professor Han, from the same building unit as Xu Zengdong, inadvertently saw the curtains in his home's window flutter while playing badminton.
Then—
Professor Han was horrified to discover!
A person flew out of the window!!
Falling freely, plummeting rapidly from the fifth floor.
"Someone jumped!"
Professor Han shouted.
The people exercising on the small square heard him shout and were stunned.
Professor Han, however, ran quickly towards the dormitory building, shouting, "Professor Xu Zengdong, something has happened!"
Professor Xu Zengdong?
Oh, oh.
Everyone knew who he was.
He was not only the eldest son of the Xu family but had also publicly suggested that the New Year's Eve dinner was a waste.
However, this statement had earned him widespread condemnation.
Xu Zengdong thus became widely known—
"But why would he jump when he was perfectly fine?"
When Professor Han and others rushed over, they all looked terrified, staring at Xu Zengdong, who lay motionless on the concrete ground, and instinctively asked, "Could it be that he couldn't bear the criticism and wanted to die?"
