Not long after!
The other members of the Dragon Group also arrived and began to clear the battlefield.
Shangguan Yun and Xu Shi’an, who were free to rest, walked into the office and felt awkward seeing the two people in an intimate embrace.
"Please send Xin Wan back to the company later."
"I need to inform the old man."
Ye Cangtian said to Xu Shi’an and the others.
The reason he hadn't left earlier was that the scene outside was a bit bloody, and he was worried about Tang Xin Wan's discomfort, so he stayed for a while.
Now that the Dragon Group members had arrived, it was time for him to get down to business.
Inform the old man?
Xu Shi’an’s eyes widened. Did Ye Cangtian really need to go in person for something like this? He could just tell him when he got back.
As he was about to say something, Shangguan Yun beside him gave him a look.
He had clearly noticed the issue with his words, but unlike him, he understood Ye Cangtian’s intention, which was undoubtedly to prevent Tang Xin Wan from knowing and worrying.
Thus, Ye Cangtian handed Tang Xin Wan over to the two of them and then left the abandoned factory alone.
...
That night, at the Zhou family mansion in Kyoto.
Zhou Quan sat on his chair, slowly sipping tea. It was already time to rest, but he had no sleepiness.
The Eastern Ying Ninja clan had already made a move against Ye Cangtian, but there was no news of victory or defeat, which made him very anxious.
A guilty conscience!
If others knew he had colluded with the ninja clan, the Zhou family would face utter destruction.
"Patriarch, it's late, you should rest."
Tie Quan, standing by, looked at Zhou Quan’s tired appearance and spoke with concern.
In his opinion, today’s confrontation between the ninja clan and Ye Cangtian had nothing to do with the Zhou family.
Previously, as per Zhou Quan’s instructions, the location chosen for the kidnapping of Tang Xin Wan was a shopping mall.
And that shopping mall was backed by the Song family’s assets.
Therefore, this matter should be able to be blamed on the Song family.
Even if Ye Cangtian was fine tonight, he would not seek revenge from the Zhou family, nor would he know that the Zhou family had colluded with the Eastern Ying Ninja clan. Therefore, Zhou Quan had no reason to worry.
"Let's wait for news."
"I don't know why, but I always have a bad premonition."
Zhou Quan glanced at Tie Quan, rubbed his still twitching right eyelid, and fell silent.
...
At the same time, in a corner of the Zhou family villa courtyard.
Ye Cangtian, dressed in night-traveling clothes, scanned everything within the Zhou family villa area.
He did not go to Old Master Xu’s place!
Because he wanted to completely settle his grievances with the Zhou family!
The reason the ninja clan and the Kawada family experts had kidnapped Tang Xin Wan today was fundamentally because the Zhou family was involved.
Although Old Master Xu had reminded him more than once not to act against the Zhou family without concrete evidence.
But now that the Zhou family had colluded with the Eastern Ying Ninja clan to deal with him, and even kidnapped Tang Xin Wan, this had touched his red line!
As long as his red line was touched, he would not care about anyone’s background and would make them pay the price!
"Hmm?"
However, just as Ye Cangtian was about to infiltrate.
He suddenly discovered that there seemed to be another aura hidden within the entire villa area.
He did not know if this person was an enemy or a friend, whether they were here to deal with the Zhou family, or were one of the Zhou family’s experts.
However, just as he became alert, the hidden expert instantly darted into the Zhou family villa.
It was then that Ye Cangtian clearly saw that this person was actually a woman!
She was wearing white clothing, with a graceful figure and flowing long hair, truly a back view stunner.
Ye Cangtian hesitated for a moment, then cautiously followed.
Clang!
In the room, a crisp sound rang out, attracting Zhou Quan and Tie Quan’s attention. Their eyes swept towards the door, and their expressions changed instantly.
They were not unfamiliar with the woman who had arrived; in fact, they were quite familiar.
It was Bai Sul an, Zhou Bang’s biological mother!
However, seeing the unsheathed long sword in her hand and her cold killing intent, their hearts immediately tightened.
"Greetings, Madame."
Tie Quan quickly cupped his hands in a salute.
Zhou Quan, on the other hand, swallowed hard:
"Madame, you have been away from home for five or six years. It's not good to return so suddenly with such murderous intent, is it?"
"Hmph!"
Bai Sulan snorted coldly and said in a chilling tone, "Don't you know why I left home?"
"If you hadn't taken a fancy to that vixen in Yanhuayu Yuan, would I have had to leave home and be separated from my son?"
As her voice fell, Bai Sulan's expression turned even colder. If she hadn't been separated from her son and hadn't properly educated Zhou Bang.
Zhou Bang would not have been causing trouble every day, nor would he have met his end.
Therefore, a part of this debt naturally had to be blamed on Zhou Quan.
"So you knew about it long ago, why didn't you say it sooner?"
Zhou Quan looked bitter.
All this time, he thought he had been keeping his mistress very secret, but he never expected that Bai Sulan had known all along.
He was puzzled why she hadn't revealed it earlier. If she had, he wouldn't have dared to continue keeping a mistress.
"Spilt milk cannot be gathered. A man who can cheat once will cheat a second time!"
"Besides, you’ve touched other women, and I find you dirty!"
"And the Bai family cannot afford to lose face like this! Is this explanation enough!"
Bai Sulan said coldly.
In fact, the main reason she tolerated this matter was for her son, Zhou Bang!
Once Zhou Quan’s scandal was exposed, the Bai family would definitely not let the Zhou family go; it could be said that everything the Zhou family had would crumble.
At that time, Zhou Bang might not be implicated.
But as an outsider, he would surely not be well-received in the Bai family, which was why she had tolerated it. At least Zhou Bang would still have the protection of the Zhou family.
"Alright, let's not bring up those old matters."
Bai Sulan cut off the topic and continued, "I am here today to purge the family. I don't need to explain why, do I?"
"This..."
Purge the family?
Zhou Quan, with a guilty conscience, guessed what she meant.
In an instant, his body felt weak, and sweat soaked his clothes.
Even if Bai Sulan hated him, he was still Zhou Bang's father, and Bai Sulan would not really do anything to him.
But now she had come to kill him, so he could guess without even thinking!
His collusion with the Eastern Ying Ninja clan had been exposed!
The Bai family would never tolerate such a thing.
"Madame, don't be impulsive. The reason the Patriarch colluded with those people was to help the young master get revenge!"
Tie Quan saw this and quickly stepped forward.
"Hmph! Does my son, Bai Sulan’s son, need to rely on others for revenge?"
"Moreover, this old man doesn't know that the Bai family has clashed with the ninja clan multiple times for China, and many Bai family disciples have lost their lives because of it. Now his actions are tantamount to treason!"
Bai Sulan snorted. She would avenge her son, but the first thing she needed to do was to purge the family!
With that, Bai Sulan’s figure flickered, and her long sword struck directly at Tie Quan.
His every move was deadly, and Tie Quan dared not be careless. He immediately took out his dagger and began to fight her.
"Good heavens!"
Ye Cangtian, watching everything unfold from the shadows, was somewhat dumbfounded.
He had not expected that woman to be Zhou Bang’s mother!
Nor had he expected Bai Sulan to be here to purge the family, and even less that this woman’s skills were so strong that even he was not confident of victory.
Puff!
At that moment, Tie Quan, after only a few exchanges, was run through the heart by Bai Sulan’s sword and fell to the ground.
Then, Bai Sulan, holding her dripping sword, pointed it at Zhou Quan:
"Considering we were once husband and wife, you can say any last words you wish."
Zhou Quan trembled as he looked at Bai Sulan, knowing that death was inevitable today. He swallowed hard and said:
"I don't ask for your forgiveness, I only ask that you avenge Bang'er and kill Ye Cangtian!"
With that, Zhou Quan closed his eyes.
"He is my son, and I will naturally avenge him!"
Saying this coldly, Bai Sulan’s long sword sliced through the air, piercing Zhou Quan’s heart. She then looked at him deeply before turning her gaze towards the window.
"You’ve finished watching the show, right? You can come out now!"
When she first arrived, Bai Sulan had sensed something unusual.
But she didn't care. She was here to purge the family, so she wasn't afraid even if it escalated to the hidden group.
"Cough cough..."
An awkward cough came from outside the window.
Then, Ye Cangtian flipped in.
Since the other party had already discovered him, there was no need to hide anymore.
"Impressive, impressive! Ms. Bai’s righteous act of punishing a relative deeply impresses me..."
Seeing her cold expression, Ye Cangtian smiled awkwardly and broke the silence first.
Bai Sulan snorted, her expression not improving. "What kind of rogue are you? What are you doing at the Zhou family?"
"Uh..."
When Ye Cangtian heard this, he suddenly found it difficult to answer. Zhou Quan, even in death, believed he was the murderer and wanted him dead.
If he admitted his identity now, this mother of Zhou Bang would probably seek revenge on him immediately.
