▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Nangong Chang's face was as cold as ice, his brows tightly furrowed, unable to suppress his anger.
Nangong Yunlong gently stroked his son's head and comforted him, "This time it's true. The witch clan witch just called. Hou Yunjiao won't live much longer."
"Is it true?"
Nangong Chang, who was originally lying on the bed, leaned forward suddenly due to his excessive emotions.
"Ah! Ahh!!"
The pain caused by the pulling of his two arms made him cry out.
"Ah Chang!"
Nangong Yunlong immediately stood up.
But faced with his son's plastered arms, he didn't know what to do.
Nangong Chang suppressed the pain and his face contorted, his eyes fixed on his father.
"Dad, is this true? Is Hou Yunjiao's really going to die?!"
Nangong Yunlong nodded, "He only has less than ten years left to live."
"Ten years..." Nangong Chang's face showed a disappointed expression.
He thought Hou Yunjiao would die soon.
Nangong Yunlong placed his hand on his son's chest, allowing him to lean against the head of the bed and relax his body.
He explained to his son, "Hou Yirong killed the witch clan elders, and now the witch clan and the Hou family are at odds. The witch clan witch will help us. As long as they get rid of the child in Hou Yunjiao wife's belly, we will immediately find a way to kill Hou Yunjiao
Next, the Nangong family will do everything in their power to cut off the Hou family's last hope and leave them with no chance to turn things around."
Nangong Chang's face was filled with excitement, his pale complexion faintly tinged with red.
Then, he furrowed his brows and asked, "Dad, will we succeed?"
"It must succeed!" Nangong Yunlong's voice was low and filled with a sinister aura.
"For so many years, we've known that Hou Yunjiao is physically weak, but we didn't know how long he could hold on.
Now that we know he has less than ten years left to live, we have no more restraints."
Indeed, for so many years, the Nangong family has been testing the limits of the Hou family.
They engaged in minor conflicts and provocations, but they couldn't go too far because Hou Yunjiao was the next successor of the Hou family.
As the next heir of the Hou family, he appeared gentle, polite, and scholarly on the surface, but in reality, he was cunning and calculating, inheriting the ruthlessness of the Hou family.
Nangong Chang pondered seriously. With their current influence in the capital, they could cooperate with the Xiao and Su families.
In addition, they had the support of the Yin Yang Sect and the witch clan, as well as the talented individuals they had recruited over the years.
In this final battle against the Hou family, the success rate could be said to be over 90 percent.
The ferocity in Nangong Chang's eyes and brows dissipated, replaced by a twisted expression on his face.
He licked his lips and said to Nangong Yunlong, "Dad, that woman Qin Ruan must be handed over to me. I want her to suffer a fate worse than death!"
"Good. Once the child in her belly is gone, I'll lock her up and send her to your room."
Nangong Chang imagined that scene, and a sinister smile appeared on his sinister face.
"I'm looking forward to seeing her kneel before me!"
Nangong Yunlong smiled, quite indulgent when it came to his son's preferences.
After all, it was just a woman, nothing too significant.
He pulled the blanket on his son's body and mentioned the trusted subordinate who had been in the study earlier.
Nangong Chang's gaze darkened slightly. "Is he a traitor?"
Nangong Yunlong shook his head, his tone calm. "It's not certain yet, but at a time like this, it's better to kill the wrong person than to let them go."
A mere life held no importance to the future of the Nangong family.
Suddenly, Nangong Chang's expression changed slightly. "Dad, go and check the surveillance footage. See who he had contact with after leaving the study."
Nangong Yunlong called out to the outside.
One of the subordinates guarding the door pushed it open and walked in. "Master, Young Master."
Nangong Yunlong commanded, "Retrieve the surveillance footage from outside the study just now, and gather everyone on this floor. Don't miss a single person."
"Yes!"
The subordinate left to carry out the orders.
Nangong Yunlong closed the door, and another subordinate, who had just returned from dealing with the trusted subordinate's body, happened to be back.
Upon hearing the orders just given by the master, the subordinate's expression remained indifferent, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
It was fleeting, too fast to grasp.
The two men went their separate ways, walking in opposite directions.
As the subordinate in charge of handling the body reached the corner of the corridor, he took out some simple components from his pocket and quickly assembled them.
However, in just a few seconds, a small and compact cellphone appeared.
...
United States.
Before boarding the plane, Hou Yunjiao's phone rang. He answered the call and listened to the deliberately lowered voice on the other end, speaking rapidly.
Time passed slowly.
Since answering the call, Hou Yunjiao had not spoken a word.
As the message from the other end reached him, his handsome face gradually darkened, and a fierce anger flickered in his deep and affectionate eyes.
"Keep an eye on them and notify me immediately of any updates. Take good care of yourself as well."
Hou Yunjiao's voice was as calm as water.
After speaking, he hung up the call decisively.
The call went directly to the Hou residence.
Beijing
It was already late at night. Old Master Hou, who had trouble sleeping due to his old age, had just laid down for a while.
A soft but urgent knocking sound came from the door, accompanied by the anxious voice of someone outside.
"Master, Third Young Master is on the phone. He says it's an important matter to report."
The old master, who had a light sleep, heard the mention of Hou Yunjiao and quickly put on a coat before opening the door.
"What happened to Jiao Jiao?"
The elderly butler, holding the cellphone, handed it to the venerable Old Master Hou.
"Third Young Master said he wants to speak with you personally."
Old Master Hou answered the phone, his stern expression turning gentle. "Jiao Jiao?"
Hou Yunjiao didn't waste any words and immediately informed him, "Grandfather, I just received accurate information. The Nangong family has begun to make a move. They are planning to strike at the Hou family officially. Nangong Yunlong doesn't want the fourth generation of the Hou family to be born. He has set his sights on Qin Ruan, and the witch from the Witch Clan will personally take action."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Hou's gentle expression faded away, replaced by a pale, iron-like complexion. An aura of dominance and intimidation emanated from him.
His lips trembled, and he spoke in a deep voice, "How dare he!"
Hou Yunjiao's frail health had led him to believe that the fourth generation of the Hou family had no hope of being born. He had looked forward to enjoying the pleasure of being a doting great grandfather.
Now, the Nangong family was targeting the child in Qin Ruan's womb.
How could the old master accept this?
He was so angry that his blood pressure was about to rise.
The old master held his chest and asked the phone, "Jiao Jiao, is the information reliable? When does the Nangong family plan to make their move?"
"The exact time is still unknown, but the Nangong family has already started gathering the talented individuals they recruited over the years. The Witch Clan has also officially aligned with the Nangong family. After the witch from the Witch Clan targets Ruan Ruan, their next target will be me."
"The Nangong family must be out of their minds!"
Old master Hou slightly widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
The Nangong family was ready to make their last stand, an all-or-nothing attitude.
Then, the next words from Hou Yunjiao exploded in the Elder's ears.
"Grandfather, the Nangong family already knows that I have less than ten years left to live."
