Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 543: It’s a Provocation! It’s a Humiliation!

Chapter 543: Chapter 543: It’s a Provocation! It’s a Humiliation!

Aoluqi stepped out from the Paro family residence, his gaze dark and ominous.

He hadn’t expected that his many years of friendship with Zorro would be in vain when it came to asking for a small favor.

"Minister, what do we do now?" The guard behind Aoluqi spoke up.

If the Paro family wouldn’t help, then whom else could they turn to?

"I refuse to believe that even the mighty President Mansion cannot deal with a Paro family!" Aoluqi glared dangerously at the grand gates of the Paro family residence before turning to leave.

...

After Pino agreed to help Yun Yue with her task, he rushed nonstop to country M.

He had been looking for an opportunity to take action because his significant entrance into country M had caused the President’s Room to strengthen its security and vigilance; he could only wait a few days.

The opportunity came when the security relaxed following her departure from country M; now was the best time to act.

At this moment, he was masquerading as a servant in the President’s Room, brazenly walking within the President Mansion.

Y had tasked him with stirring up some trouble for the President Mansion, and after much thought, he decided that arson and looting were the best options!

He set not just one... but ten fires, creating chaos they couldn’t handle.

Taking advantage of the disorder, he sneaked into the President’s bedroom, cracked open the safe, and took everything he could carry; what he couldn’t take, he’d just leave behind for next time.

"Tsk, I was wondering why I hadn’t seen you, you old coot, turns out you’re lying here barely alive!" Pino, with a backpack stuffed full, stood over the bed looking down at Ox. who was gasping for life, with a malevolent gleam in his eye.

"The old guy’s beard is pretty decent." Pino, feeling mischievous, pulled out a pair of scissors and neatly clipped off Ox’s beard, wrapped the clippings in a cloth for a keepsake, and then swaggered out.

"Quick! Put out the fire!"

"Call the firefighters!"

Aoluqi returned to see the entire President Mansion in utter chaos, smoke and flames everywhere, his expression uglier than ever.

"What’s going on?!"

The butler of the President Mansion saw him, running over with a face covered in soot and fearfully said, "Young Master, you’re back. Someone deliberately set the fire, and the blaze is too big to extinguish!"

"Is my father alright? Is he harmed?" Aoluqi grabbed him immediately!

"The fire didn’t reach where the President was, but... but..." The butler stammered, afraid to meet Aoluqi’s eyes.

"But what?!" Aoluqi raised his voice, his veins bulging with rage.

"Y-you better see for yourself," he said, not daring to relay the message.

Aoluqi let go and stormed toward the President’s Room.

"Who did this?!"

Aoluqi’s face became incredibly grim when he saw the state Ox was in.

"No, no idea. Everyone was busy putting out the fire. The guards outside the room also said no one entered, the thief must have come in through the window."

The butler wiped sweat from his forehead, trembling as he watched Aoluqi still seething with rage, his words coming out cautiously, "There’s... something else..."

"Speak!"

"You must prepare yourself for this, Young Master..."

"With things like this, what can’t I accept!" Aoluqi had already lost all reason to anger.

Somebody dared to do this in the President Mansion and even dared to tamper with his father’s beard!

It was a provocation!

It was a humiliation!

The butler spoke shakily, "The... the President’s... safe has been opened, and it looks like plenty of items are missing."

Although he didn’t know what was in it, he knew the contents must be valuable, including classified documents and priceless treasures.

"What?!" On hearing this, Aoluqi went straight to another compartment, his father’s study.

There was a mechanism there; only by pressing it would the safe be revealed. Even if the thief had found the safe, how on earth had he managed to open it?!

Violence?!

But this is the most secure safe in the world!

Even a bomb might not be able to blow it open!

When Aoluqi saw the intact safe, his face was a mix of shock and dismay.

"It wasn’t forced open by violence, but with a password!" he hissed through clenched teeth. Even he didn’t know the password to the safe, so how had the thief cracked it?!

"Search! Conduct a thorough search!"

"Immediately have the International Police cooperate and seal off all the airports, harbors, and highways!"

He would make the person who dared to steal under his nose and blatantly challenge and insult him, wish they were dead!

"Yes." The butler scrambled out of the room, terrified of being caught in Aoluqi’s wrath.

Underground Alliance.

"How is godfather’s injury?" Qiu Jun’s gaze was dark, his complexion not good.

He hadn’t rested for even a quarter hour from yesterday to today, starting when Liu Lanfang was kidnapped, and he summoned most of his men to intercept her.

He never expected to receive a call from He Yao, demanding he send all of the Underground Alliance’s forces to support Garden Castle.

Despite his unwillingness, he had no choice but to comply, only to receive a message from Uncle Fu before they arrived that godfather had been shot and was in critical condition.

Only later did he discover it was Aunt Wen Jun who had an emergency, having been kidnapped from Garden Castle by Yun Yue, no wonder he was so enraged and willing to mobilize the entire might of the Underground Alliance.

"The doctor said he should wake up by tomorrow, thankfully it seems the old master’s life is saved," Uncle Fu stated with some relief.

The bullet had hit the neck, a little bit off and the old master would already be a corpse.

Qiu Jun stared profoundly at the injured man on the hospital bed, his lips pursed tightly, not speaking.

He had suffered a disastrous defeat in this round!

Upon leaving the sickroom, Wu Qing’s complexion was ashen, and she knelt on the ground weakly: "Young Master Qiu, it was my fault for not hiding Liu Lanfang well. I hope you can give me a chance to redeem myself; I will go back to Z country and capture Liu Lanfang!"

Qiu Jun narrowed his eyes as he stared at her, his gaze deep and chilly. He pondered for a moment, "There’s no need to go to Z country again, do you think she’ll give you another chance?"

After this incident, it was impossible to make a move against anyone close to her again.

"Are we just going to lose like this?!" Wu Qing was somewhat unwilling.

She was furious at losing to Yun Yue time and again!

"If you’ve lost, you’ve lost; win back next time," Qiu Jun inhaled deeply, waving his hand dismissively, "Right now, the most important thing is to help godfather recover quickly."

With Aunt Wen Jun kidnapped by Yun Yue, he was certain to go crazy, and indeed the entire international scene would fall into turmoil.

What he needed to do was to reap the benefits from the shadows.

"Yes," Wu Qing said solemnly in agreement.

Qiu Jun’s lips curled up into a faint, almost imperceptible cold smile.

There was plenty of time ahead, and he believed that ultimately, he would get everything he wanted.

Z country.

At Ji Group, these past few days Ji Ling had been spending every day in the research and development lab to successfully secure the Tianqi project.

"Ling’er, why don’t you take a break? I heard that Yun Yue’s grandmother and stepmother have gone missing; she has no time to work on her project. You’ll definitely be able to outdo her!" Mrs. Ji comforted her.

She couldn’t believe that her daughter’s project, prepared six months in advance, couldn’t beat Yun Yue’s project prepared in just half a month!

"That’s true," Ji Ling replied with some smugness.

Blame Yun Yue’s bad luck if you must.

She really should thank whoever kidnapped her grandmother and stepmother.
