Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 529: Cang Leng’s Past

Xiao Chen dried her hair before the two of them went to dine.

"Master Chen, Qiu Jun was already on guard," Feng Ye said through a mouthful of bread, his words muffled and somewhat relieved, "Thank goodness it rained last night."

Last night, they had led a team to launch a surprise attack to intimidate Qiu Jun but found his defenses to be formidable. They had to abandon the plan, but unexpectedly, a torrential downpour began.

It was as if even the heavens were on their side.

The heavy rain completely masked the sound of their footsteps, and the impaired visibility helped them infiltrate successfully and demolish one of his bases.

They gathered around a large square table to eat breakfast.

Feng Ye sneakily glanced at Yun Yue’s expression, which had calmed down significantly since yesterday, but her eyes and brows still emanated a chilling coldness that dissuaded him from speaking.

Yet, he couldn’t suppress his curiosity about what exactly she had sent Mo Fan to do.

When he asked Mo Fan, he got no answer, so he braced himself to probe cautiously, "Sister Yue, what mission did you send Mo Fan on? Can you tell me?"

He tried to make his tone as gentle and endearing as possible, fearing her reaction.

Yun Yue looked up, her eyes tinged with a blood-red hint, frightening him so much with just a glance that he dared not ask further.

"If it’s inconvenient for you to say, it’s okay..." he quickly added, afraid of being executed on a whim.

Yun Yue finished the last bite of her sandwich and spoke without warmth, "It’s nothing much, just sent them to find someone."

Feng Ye felt like a prisoner spared from execution, the knife at his throat suddenly withdrawn, and he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The group exchanged glances, presuming that they were looking for her grandmother.

But given the current situation, Qiu Jun had surely hidden her away and finding her was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After breakfast, they all headed to the conference room for a meeting.

"Miss Yun," Anna said, her gaze complex as she watched Yun Yue’s retreating figure, quietly closing the door of the conference room after everyone had entered.

Duwa stood to the right of the door, glancing at her, "Who would have thought Miss Yun was actually the boss of Golden Net! It’s good that we didn’t do anything excessive to her before."

The reputation of the Other Shore Flower was akin to that of King Yan, and those who had offended her had all descended into hell.

Anna’s lips were tightly pressed, her expression complicated.

"Are you reassured now?" Duwa asked, his gaze piercing as he looked at her.

He could see the affection she held for Master Chen, and she had always felt that Miss Yun was unworthy of him. Now it seemed that these two powerhouses were well-matched, an absolutely perfect couple.

Anna felt a hint of bitterness, but after a moment her expression softened, and with a determined look, she said, "Of course, from today onward, she is the woman I recognize as the mistress of the Tu Mi Garden."

She knew full well she could never be Master Chen’s woman, and she held no esteem for any other woman either.

Now that she knew about Yun Yue’s identity, she could no longer look down upon her.

"It’s best you think this way," Duwa said with a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips, stealing glances at her.

Actually, if you look back, you’ll find that there’s someone who has always been waiting for you.

After discussing in the conference room for over half an hour, everyone left with their respective squads to carry out their tasks.

**

The Martin family.

"Grandfather, with Golden Net, Black Alliance, and Tu Mi Garden joining forces against the Underground Alliance, do you think Young Master Qiu might be in danger?" Lisa asked anxiously.

Lisa’s fondness for Qiu Jun in the Martin family was no secret, and at this moment, seeing her so anxious, they could understand.

" Young Master Qiu should have made arrangements long ago, the Underground Alliance has existed for nearly a hundred years now, its foundation is profound, and it can’t possibly be annihilated by these three forces," Clan Chief Martin said with a composed expression.

Only he knew how terrifying the Underground Alliance was.

Even though these three forces are top international powers, the combined age of Golden Net, Black Alliance, and Tu Mi Garden doesn’t even add up to twenty years; how could they possibly contend with the deep-rooted foundation of the Underground Alliance?

Upon hearing this, Lisa secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said gravely, "Grandfather, Father, and all respected clan elders, I think we should send an elite troop to support Young Master Qiu."

"Grandfather is right, but this is also the time to show the Martin family’s loyalty to Young Master Qiu and the Underground Alliance."

The Martin family has its present glory because it relies on the Underground Alliance; especially at such a critical juncture, it is even more important to demonstrate the Martin family’s loyalty to the Underground Alliance.

"Indeed, the young master makes a valid point."

The other clan elders agreed with Lisa, and Clan Chief Martin also felt it made sense. He said with solemn authority, "Given that, let’s dispatch our most elite team to support Young Master Qiu."

Suddenly, a series of screams mixed with gunfire penetrated into the conference room, causing everyone inside to visibly change their expressions.

"What’s happening outside? Why are there sudden gunshots?!"

Lisa’s face turned pale, and she ran to the window to look out, only to see a team dressed in black uniforms, armed, breaking into the Martin family residence.

The guards at the entrance had already fallen, and the family’s servants were fleeing in all directions.

At that moment, the conference room door swung open, and the Martin family’s head of security came rushing in with a grim expression: "Clan Leader, the Martin family is surrounded!"

"This... how is this possible! This is M country; who would dare commit such brazen murder..."

Although gunfights occasionally occurred in M country, he had never seen anyone so brazen as to lead so many people armed with guns into a family residence to kill.

"It’s Golden Net’s men!" The head of security, gun in hand, guardedly watched the entrance of the corridor, and spoke gravely, "Time is of the essence, please Clan Leader and all the clan elders move out immediately."

It appeared that Golden Net’s forces were overwhelming; if they didn’t move quickly, they would fall into their hands.

"Go! We have to go!"

The crowd became frantic, and under the protection of the Martin family’s security team, they began to flee.

"I’ll help!" Lisa, holding a pistol, had a fierce glint in her eye.

She wanted to see for herself what Golden Net’s forces were really made of.

"Young master, get out of here! These are Golden Net’s elites; our people are no match for them!" The head of security blocked her way.

Suddenly, the fleeing clan elders began to step back, one by one.

A tall figure appeared at the corner by the staircase.

Cang Leng stared down the Martin family members with a cold, indifferent gaze.

"You... it’s you!" Seeing Cang Leng, Clan Chief Martin’s eyes widened in disbelief, "You were supposed to be dead!"

He had stopped breathing, had been taken to Burial Mound; how could he suddenly appear here!

He had come for revenge!

Clan Chief Martin looked at him and the people behind him with a wary expression.

"I hate to disappoint you." Cang Leng looked maliciously at him and every member of the Martin family, a cold smile touching the corners of his lips, "Seeing me again, what are your feelings, hmm?"

These hypocritical, ungrateful people had killed his mother with their own hands and tormented him endlessly, simply to extract that enormous fortune from his lips.

"Brother?" Lisa stared blankly at the familiar yet strange face not far away, never having imagined he was still alive, leading so many men armed into the Martin family residence. Incredulous, she blurted out, "Do you realize what you’re doing?!"
