ul heirs were so forgetful of their roots that they resorted to secretly harming him just to get the inheritance!"Grandpa, your health is most important. Let's talk about other matters another day," s...Chapter 1171: Save Ajiu
Although Chu Yao had previously said that she could handle Bian Yunxian and the others in an afternoon, it was not practical to act during daytime. To avoid complications when taking action, Baidu Xiaolei still needed some time to make arrangements. As a result, they ultimately decided to take action at night, while monitoring Bian Yunxian's group during the day.
Bian Yunxian’s power grab clearly had the support of a high-profile figure who also exerted significant influence over the police force. According to Baidu Xiaolei's guess, this supporter was none other than the Cheng family, as they were behind secretly orchestrating the arrest of Chang Donglin and his men.
Chang Donglin was almost killed when he was attacked at the police station. Afterward, Bian Yunxian’s trusted subordinates were released from jail while those loyal to Chang Donglin remained incarcerated. If not for this assassination attempt on Chang Donglin, it's likely that even Chang Xiaobao and Chang Rong would still be in custody. These actions undoubtedly aimed to support Bian Yunxian and under normal circumstances, he should have smoothly taken control of the Chang family.
Unfortunately, sometimes being too clever backfires. The people helping Bian Yunxian never imagined that their actions would weaken him instead of strengthening him, because now his opponent was not the Chang family but Baidu Xiaolei.
If all members of the Chang family were still at large, it wouldn’t have been easy for Baidu Xiaolei to take action. But with Bian Yunxian only having a few trusted subordinates around him, the disparity in manpower was starkly apparent!
For Bian Yunxian, however, the most fatal threat wasn't Baidu Xiaolei's forces but Chu Yao, this daughter of the Chu family who now had her sights set on controlling all criminal organizations in Beijing. While having such ambitions isn't scary per se, what is terrifying is that Miss Chu’s capabilities are truly formidable—neither Bian Yunxian nor his trusted subordinates can match a single strike from her. With just a swing or a flick of her wrist, she could incapacitate or kill Bian Yunxian's men.
That night, accompanied by Baidu Xiaolei and Chang Xiaobao, Chu Yao swept through the underground criminal forces in Beijing with overwhelming force. The territories she reclaimed extended beyond those under Bian Yunxian’s control to also include several smaller gangs, and Baidu Xiaolei's men swiftly took over all these areas.
When Bi Yanxiao's supporters realized something was amiss and hurriedly got the police to release all members of the Chang family, it was already too late. Not only were these people insufficient to reclaim their turf, but also because Chang Donglin personally issued an order for them to cooperate with Bai Family in controlling the territory. From then on, both the Chang Family and Bai Xiaolei belonged to one family.
By morning, the underground power structure of Beijing had changed its name; from now on, they didn't belong to the Chang or Bai families anymore but to the Chu family! The influence of the Chu Gate finally extended beyond Jianghai City to reach Beijing!
This change came as a complete surprise to everyone. To many people, this night was like a nightmare because it was exactly what they hoped would never happen!
Unfortunately for them, their worst fears had come true. Perhaps the only consolation they could take away from that night is that they weren't alone in experiencing this nightmare.
The CIA also had its darkest night of all time!
CIA contact points around the world were attacked at least dozens of places on that night, with agents from different countries carrying out these attacks. Supposedly, anonymous intelligence was sent to those country’s special agents on that particular evening, providing them with accurate contact addresses for CIA branches abroad. Consequently, these country's agents naturally acted upon it, and the spy organizations which were long-term rivals of the CIA couldn’t let this opportunity slip away either. As a result, the losses sustained by the CIA that night were so severe they could hardly be described, leading to the CIA Director immediately issuing an order recalling all special agents back to headquarters. In the foreseeable future, they would have to spend time and effort rebuilding their intelligence network.
Although it was nighttime here, it was daytime at the CIA headquarters that day, which the CIA dubbed as its worst ever.
The most worrying part wasn’t the losses themselves; rather, it was their inability to figure out who had orchestrated this sabotage and how the intelligence leaks occurred. Logically speaking, even if one or two agents fell into enemy hands, there was no reason for them to expose all these secrets. Undoubtedly, the agency would have to spend a great deal of manpower and energy investigating this matter over an extended period in the future.
Unfortunately, they were unaware that their nightmare was not over, because on this very morning, Grace and the other three agents had also been recalled to return home aboard a plane. However, at present, their true identities were no longer those of CIA agents but rather four double-agent spies who had actually already been hypnotized and controlled by Summer.---The next morning.In Yiren Pavilion, Yi Xiaoyin had long since risen from bed. Ever since she possessed that powerful True Qi within her body, she would practice cultivation at night and always wake up very early in the day, yet still felt energetic. She knew that her physical condition was indeed improving more and more, but unfortunately, certain injuries sustained in her body could never possibly be recovered.Today’s weather was nice; the dawn light had already illuminated the courtyard. Looking up at the sky, Yi Xiaoyin seemed somewhat lost in thought."Miss, it's time for breakfast." A voice from behind called out, startling Yi Xiaoyin back to reality.Yi Xiaoyin nodded and turned around to walk into the house.A soft knock on the door suddenly sounded then. Ah Jiu, who had been about to follow Yi Xiaoyin inside the house, turned and walked towards the main gate: "Miss, I’ll go see who it is.""Hmm." Yi Xiaoyin responded with a sound, walking into the house and sitting beside the dining table, drinking from a steaming bowl of soy milk as she waited for Ah Jiu to return.
The Yin Medical Sect wasn't just the two of them, but this I閣 (Euphony Pavilion) mostly only had the two of them. This was because among the members of the Yin Medical Sect, these two were considered unique and didn’t fit in well with others.
"Bang bang!" Two gunshots suddenly rang out from the main gate, like thunder on a clear day, shocking Yi Xiaoyin to a standstill. It took several seconds for her to react before she jumped up and rushed toward the main gate at top speed.
A Ji was lying still on the ground with blood gushing from his chest. Outside the door, besides A Ji, no one else could be seen; only a motorcycle speeding away quickly could be observed.
"No!" Yi Xiaoyin cried out in grief and rushed to A Ji's side, hurriedly picking him up and rushing back into the house at top speed. Then she swiftly inserted silver needles into A Ji's body.
"A Ji, you have to hold on! You can't die!" At this moment, Yi Xiaoyin was completely thrown off balance. She didn’t have time to think about why such a thing happened; all she wanted was to save A Ji!
The Fairy Elf Retreat.
This Fairy Elf Retreat truly lived up to its name now, as it housed both a large and small beautiful elf. However, Xia Tian wasn't able to spend the night with either of them last night—the little elf was still accompanying her computer, while the big one practiced some kind of fairy cultivation technique, seemingly wanting to quickly complete her transition from an elf to a fairy.
Of course, this evening Xia Tian wouldn’t be lonely; without the elves, there was still the little princess. That beautiful Princess Samara made him experience again last night what it felt like not to miss elves while enjoying the moment.
The only thing that slightly troubled him was that his act of faking an injury wasn't over yet. Therefore, he couldn’t continue staying in this fairy nest and fighting with fairies every day. He still had to go out and wander around as a mobile bait, enticing those reckless guys to come looking for their deaths.
Looking at the sleeping little princess in his arms who resembled an infant, Xia Tian patted her baby-like skin reluctantly before touching her other part that was equally impressive like an infant’s mother. Finally, he got up with reluctance and dressed himself.
After coming downstairs, he saw Zhao Yujie having breakfast. However, she wasn’t dressing like a fairy now; it was too conservative for his taste, which made Xia Tian slightly disappointed.
"You're awake" Upon seeing Xia Tian, Zhao Yujie greeted him proactively but couldn't resist giving him an icy stare, calling him the dead lecher. Indeed, he spent the night in Princess Samar’s room!
"Yeah, wife, you’ve woken up so I’m waking up too," Xia Tian said casually.
“I haven’t gone to bed yet!” Zhao Yujie replied irritably.
Xia Tian chuckled and looked at her: "Wife, are you going to sleep now If you want to sleep, I can accompany you."
"I don't need your company," Zhao Yujie said with a glare. “Later on, I have to leave for an album release event, so I need to make an appearance.”
"Oh, I'm heading out later as well. I'll go for a stroll outside." Xia Tian sat down next to Zhao Yujie, casually wrapping an arm around her while grabbing a piece of bread with the other hand and starting his breakfast.
After eating several pieces of bread and drinking two cartons of milk, Xia Tian's phone suddenly rang.
Picking up the call, Xia Tian was momentarily stunned. He didn't expect I Xiao Yin to be calling him; he wasn’t stupid and knew that his wife had a lot of issues with him right now, so it was unlikely she would initiate contact on her own.
"Ii wife, you..." Before Xia Tian could say more, he heard I Xiao Yin's sobbing voice through the phone. "Please help me... Please save Ah Jiu..."
"Don't cry, Ii wife. Tell me where you are and I'll be right over!" Although he wasn't sure what had happened, Xia Tian immediately agreed.
"Inn of Immortal People, hurry up! Ah Jiu is in critical condition..." The sobs were becoming more audible; at this moment she felt so helpless that she was forced to turn to Xia Tian for assistance.
"I'm on my way!" Xia Tian rushed upstairs at top speed and pulled the sleeping pixie out of bed. "Pixie wife, I need to go to the Inn of Immortal People. Help me find the way there quickly!" suddenly became a bit happy as Sister Jinghua finally called him husband!"You’ve always been my husband. Alright, cheer up now. We need to figure out what happened to Hongbo first." Leng Bingbing com...
