Soon, it was late at night.
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening boom could be heard. A warehouse within the Situ family mansion had exploded.
Flames lit up the sky and sent shockwaves across the property.
“What happened?”
Situ Hong, Long Biao and the others who were inside a meeting room within the Situ family mansion felt a tremor pass through their bodies.
A housekeeper ran in looking flustered and said, “Sir, things are not going well! Something bad has happened! The warehouse has exploded!”
“What did you say?”
Situ Hong’s lips twitched.
That warehouse was no ordinary storage facility. All the files and documents owned by the Situ family from all these years were placed within that warehouse.
“Who had the guts to do this? How dare they do this to the Situ family?” Situ Hong bellowed.
“Our people have been deployed to investigate!” said the housekeeper quickly.
“Check thoroughly and make sure you capture the culprit!” Situ Hong commanded before bringing a group of men to chase after the culprit.
Outside the Situ family mansion and within the forest surrounded by mountains, a few tents were set up.
More than ten silhouettes dashed across the forest and finally arrived in front of the tents.
A few of them reported, “Young Master Wei, everything has been settled!”
“Great, our mission is now done. The rest is up to Mister Chen!”
Wei Qingshu lifted up the flap of the tent and walked out. He nodded and said, “Alright, let's send the second team in to assist Mister Chen and his group in evacuating the premises!”
Ever since Wei Qingshu saw what Chen Hao was capable of with his own eyes, he was now more respectful toward Chen Hao.
On the contrary, Chen Hao had delegated a rather important job to him, and Wei Qingshu loved it.
Since Chen Hao knew of the Situ family’s plans from two of their henchmen, Wei Qingshu's responsibility was to provide assistance whenever necessary.
The Wei family was a large family from the Southwest Region. Chen Hao managed to pry two of the Situ family’s henchmen’s mouths open and learnt about the landscape of the Situ family mansion. Naturally it was not a challenging task for Wei Qingshu to send his people to sneak into the house.
Just then, Fang Yi asked, “Jiannan, what is that noise? Why do I feel the ground trembling and shaking? Furthermore, it is a mess outside! Not only that, it’s pitch-black now and we can't see anything!”
“I have no idea what happened but it seems to be an explosion. Anyway, we can use this to our advantage. This is a great opportunity to escape! Maybe Grandfather knows what happened and arranged for this! Let’s go!”
Fang Jiannan stuck to their original plan and dashed outside with Shen Junwen and the others.
Despite the few people watching over them in the corridor, they could be easily dealt with by Fang Jiannan.
In addition to that, a power outage had occurred and the basement was pitch-black.
It was utter chaos outside.
It barely took them any effort to eliminate the guards and escape outside.
“It seems like everything is fine!”
Everyone within the house was also looking on.
Fang Yi also stayed put.
“San, Shengnnan, what do we do now? It seems like it's a mess out there. Should we escape?” Fang Yi said anxiously.
Just then, someone grabbed Fang Yi’s hand.
She turned around and saw that it was San.
“San, didnt you rush outside with Jiannan and the others?”
Fang Yi immediately felt at ease.
Chen Hao shook his head and motioned for Fang Yi to leave right now with the rest.
Fang Yi asked, “Can we? We have no idea where Jiannan and the others are!”
Chen Hao motioned again to tell her that everything would be fine, and that he would take care of things.
Fang Yi shouted, “Then let’s rush outside as well, all of us! We shall escape from the back door!”
“Alright, let's seize this opportunity. It's dark and lights are out, so they wouldn't be able to hit us even if they opened fire!”
It was clear that everybody agreed.
Over thirty of them crept behind Chen Hao and started running.
“F*ck! Where are you all going?”
A loud bang could be heard.
Suddenly a bright beam of light from a torch shone into the basement from the exit.
Five to six bodyguards appeared, all of them armed. They blocked off the entrance and glared furiously at them.
Ah!
A few of the ladies screamed.
“San, what do we do? They have guns.”
Fang Yi clutched Chen Hao’s arm in fear, hiding behind him.
“If you all wish to stay alive, get back inside!”
The men inched closer.
All of a sudden, Chen Hao moved swiftly at the men, instantly prodding their vital points with his fingers.
