The middle-aged man opposite immediately turned grim. He had always disliked Qian Duoduo, the pampered young master of a wealthy family, and Qian Duoduo's words only fueled his anger.
He chuckled and said, "Commander Zhang? If I told you he's already been fed to the sharks, would you want to join him? Heh, let me tell you, Qian Duoduo, your Qian family is nothing more than fish on my chopping block. Dare to speak to me like this, and I can have your family begging on the streets right now!"
As he spoke, Commander Wei Dalong signaled his subordinates to surround them. He snapped his fingers, and countless experts appeared from all directions. These individuals seemed to be permanent residents of Pengxian Island, and it was clear they had completely defected and become members of the Azure Bamboo Sect!
"Second Uncle Sun, Third Sister Liu, Uncle Zhao, what is this..." Qian Duoduo recognized these people. They were regular customers at his Qian family's shops since he was young, and they had watched him grow up. Now, to see them standing with Commander Wei, it was truly a testament to the fickleness of human relationships!
"Little Duo, heh, it's not that Second Uncle Sun is saying this, but you should immediately kneel down and kowtow to Commander Wei. Second Uncle can guarantee your life. As for your Qian family, they are all watching. Those old bones in your family are still holding out stubbornly. They're just waiting for you to go back and say a word!"
"That's right, Little Duo. What's money compared to life! It's come to this, you should hurry back and say something to make those stubborn old folks in your family stop resisting. It's just some family fortune; if you lose it, you can earn it back later..."
"Exactly, 'As long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn.' As the saying goes, 'He who understands the times is a wise man'!"
The experts present all began to persuade him, while simultaneously taking up their positions, leaving no chance for Qian Duoduo to escape.
Seeing this formation, Qian Duoduo instantly understood!
So these people were waiting for him to return so they could abduct him and then threaten the Qian family. It seemed the Qian family had reached its final moments, and the Azure Bamboo Sect merely wanted to seize their wealth with minimal effort!
"You! You... you truly are a pack of ungrateful wretches. My grandfather treated you all so well back then. Who among you hasn't benefited from the Qian family? Yet now, you collude with evil and kick us while we're down... You really are something... Ptooey!"
Spitting in disgust, Qian Duoduo was filled with rage!
However, the experts opposite showed no shame. After all, if the Qian family fell, they would gain even more. The vast quantities of medicinal herbs and pills were a mouth-watering fortune, not to mention the abundant weapons and secret treasures.
Furthermore, the Azure Bamboo Sect had already promised them a share once the Qian family was defeated. It could only be said that the Qian family had now reached a point where everyone wanted to push them down.
At this moment, Su Han whispered behind Qian Duoduo, "Go back with them. Let's not alert the enemy yet!"
Su Han also wanted to see the situation at the Qian family's residence and preferably be with the Qian family members. Otherwise, if their side won, but the Qian family was held hostage, it would be problematic!
Upon hearing Su Han's words, Qian Duoduo secretly nodded.
"Alright! Alright... I really didn't expect this, Commander Wei. Look at these shameless fellows. You're willing to cooperate with them. In my opinion, you shouldn't give them their share. Take me back, and I'm willing to persuade my family to offer all our assets to Commander Wei!"
Hiss!
The experts present gasped at this statement!
This move was incredibly cunning. If Commander Wei dared to be so bold, he might indeed sideline them.
Commander Wei couldn't help but swallow. Qian Duoduo's words were too tempting. However, after a moment's thought, he realized he couldn't do that.
So many people were watching, and the higher-ups of the Azure Bamboo Sect would definitely not allow him to gorge himself alone!
With a sigh, Commander Wei regretted bringing Second Uncle Sun and the others along. But since things had come to this, he didn't say anything further. Instead, he gave Qian Duoduo a thumbs-up.
"Fine! Kid, you're smart. But it's a pity, I, Master Wei, am not a disloyal person. Since I've promised the experts their rewards, not a single bit will be shortchanged. But don't worry, Qian Duoduo. When we get to your Qian family, I, Wei Dalong, will say this: as long as you hand over your assets, I'll guarantee your lives. Hmph, isn't that generous!"
Saying this, Wei Dalong beckoned Qian Duoduo closer to speak.
Qian Duoduo complied immediately and approached respectfully!
"Uncle Wei..."
"Heh, it's nothing, kid. These guys are just for show. We'll let them take a little less, and then we'll continue to divide the rest in secret... As long as your Qian family cooperates properly, I, Wei Dalong, can protect you. It's not impossible, hahahaha!"
After this exchange, Qian Duoduo's heart seethed with hatred, but on the surface, he appeared deeply grateful!
He led the few people towards the Qian family's residence.
Before long, they arrived at the gates of a luxurious mansion. It was evident that the Qian family was indeed a prominent clan. The facade was incredibly opulent, making it one of the finest residences on Pengxian Island!
However, at the main entrance, a pile of corpses lay scattered on the ground, indicating that the battle had been extremely fierce!
The main gate was tightly shut, and a large number of Qian family guards were still watching vigilantly, seemingly preparing for another desperate struggle.
As for the outside, the more numerous Azure Bamboo Sect disciples were far more arrogant.
The reason they hadn't stormed in yet was the fear of heavy casualties. However, even without storming in, they were defecating and urinating outside, making the area stink. Some were even setting fires around the courtyard walls, completely disregarding the magnificent stone walls.
Upon reaching the family entrance, Qian Duoduo could no longer contain himself. The rage in his heart ignited instantly.
If Su Han hadn't held him back, Qian Duoduo would have rushed forward to fight to the death at that very moment!
Wei Dalong chuckled at this sight and shouted inside, "Old Master Qian, look who's here. Qian Duoduo, this kid is back, and I've brought him to you. Open the door and take a look. This time, young Duo has returned from his adventures outside. I heard he brought back quite a few good treasures, hahaha. You love Duo so much, aren't you going to see your grandson?"
