Chapter 529: Third Young Master Initiates Operation A to Protect His Wife and Child

When these words reached Old Master Hou's ears, his lips trembled, and he was unable to speak.

This was his scar, a topic that no one dared to mention.

Even Huo Yunjiao had never brought it up.

Old Master Huo's voice trembled as he called out, "Yunjiao..."

Hou Yunjiao responded in a gentle tone, "I'm here."

"What are your plans?" Old Master Hou asked with an unsteady voice.

"Over the years, the ambitions of the Nangong family have grown increasingly larger. Grandfather, I am prepared to initiate Operation A," Hou Yunjiao replied.

Every word uttered by Hou Yunjiao carried a murderous intent, resonating loudly.

"Operation A?" Old Master Hou's voice faltered.

He held the phone tightly, turning on the lights in the bedroom. The solemn and heavy expression on Old Master Hou's face was clearly visible.

Hou Yunjiao continued, "Grandfather, Uncle Long's health has not been well in recent years. Whether he comes down next year or this year, it doesn't matter. It is legitimate for the Lu family to take the position at this time. The Nangong family must be eliminated, and I will not allow any harm to come to Ruan Ruan and the child."

He knew what the old master was concerned about, maintaining a balance among the major families of the capital and not disturbing the overall situation.

Old Master Hou fell into silence for a moment before slowly speaking, "Yunjiao, the Nangong family has stood in the capital for a hundred years. Their foundation is not as shallow as you think. Touching one strand will move the entire body. You must think carefully."

Hou Yunjiao remained silent.

He had long had control over the Hou family and was naturally well aware of the power of the six major aristocratic families in the capital.

Initiating Operation A was a decision he made in a state of utmost calmness.

The old master continued, "Although the Nangong family is not on the same level as the four major families, their foundation is stable and not easily shaken. They have infiltrated various industries and can be considered deeply rooted."
Once we take action against the Nangong family, we won't suffer much loss ourselves, but the survival of those ordinary people who rely on the Nangong family becomes the biggest issue. And that's just in the capital; we can't currently calculate the personnel in other regions."

"I know," Hou Yunjiao's low and deep voice reached Old Master Hou's ears. "Grandfather, if the Nangong family falls, there's still the Xiao family."

"The Xiao family?" Old Master Hou's eyes flickered slightly. "Has the Xiao family made a clear statement?"

Hou Yunjiao replied, "Xiao Wenrou marrying into the Nangong family is the Xiao family's stance."

The moment the Xiao family became a support for the Nangong family, they would also become their greatest threat. Unfortunately, the Nangong family had no idea about this.

Old Master Hou's tone grew heavier. "Yunjiao, do you understand what Operation A means for the Hou family and the representatives of the four major families and six major aristocratic families? The disruption of the balance of power maintained for a hundred years cannot be stabilized in just a few years. The responsibility of the Hou family rests on your shoulders. Are you sure you're willing to spend several years of effort to resolve all this?"

Hou Yunjiao's voice was cold and calm. "I understand."

The old master knew his grandson's temperament and character. He knew that once Huo Yunjiao had made a decision, it was difficult to change it.

The old master could only say, "As long as you have a clear conscience, that's enough."

"Grandfather, I have a clear conscience. I am the next heir of the Hou family, Ruan Ruan's husband, and the father of the child in her belly. I have a responsibility to protect their safety."

Hou Yunjiao's firm and resolute voice resounded clearly in Old Master Hou's ears.

Hearing his beloved grandson address him as "grandfather," a faint smile curved on the corners of Old Master Hou's lips.

He sighed and said, "Go ahead boldly. It's time to suppress the Nangong family. Grandfather supports you."

"Thank you."

Old Master Hou hung up the phone and walked to the window, gazing at the small building where Qin Ruan was.

His face bore a solemn and grave expression.

There was also a hint of sorrow lingering beneath it.

The old man felt a bit heartbroken.

...

United States.

Hou Yunjiao ended the call.

"Operation A? Third brother, are you playing this big?" Hou Yirong couldn't control her astonishment and exclaimed.

Hou Yunjiao's deep eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered, "If you knew what the Nangong family was planning, you wouldn't think it's too big."

"They're planning to target our younger sister?"

"It's not planning; they've already taken action."

Hou Yunjiao stepped forward, boarding the plane with quick strides.

He couldn't wait to be back by Qin Ruan's side.

Even though he knew she was capable of protecting herself, he still couldn't help but worry.

The Nangong family had crossed the line this time, not just challenging the bottom line of the Hou family but openly provoking them.

...

Nangong Family

All the personnel on this floor of Nangong Yunlong's study had been gathered.

During this time, Nangong Yunlong and Nangong Chang had already finished watching the surveillance videos.

When the deceased subordinate walked out of the study, he glanced for a few seconds at one of the subordinates standing guard at the door.

With just a look from Nangong Yunlong, that suspicious subordinate was easily taken care of.

Next, they investigated all the footage related to this person's actions.

Once they confirmed that the information hadn't been leaked, they finally relaxed a little.

They also had a few uncertain individuals in their sights and took care of them as well.

Starting tonight, the Nangong family entered a state of martial law.

The grand mansion was almost guarded at every ten-meter interval.

In the backyard garden.

The place where the Nangong family disposed of bodies.

There was a lifeless body that seemed to be moving ever so slightly in the darkness.

In a space invisible to the naked eye, a figure floated out from the corpse.

That figure was none other than Wu Daozhang, who had died in the Nangong family's purge tonight.

Or rather, because of Wu Daozhang's peculiar actions, he attracted the attention of others and caused the person he possessed to die in vain.

A thick black aura permeated Wu Daozhang's body, and a sinister grin appeared on his hideous face.

The people of the Nangong family were quite fortunate, allowing him to taste the bitterness of death once again.

"I'm going to kill all of you!"

Wu Daozhang's fierce and vengeful voice echoed in the quiet and deserted garden.

Even if someone happened to pass by, they wouldn't hear his words.

Wu Daozhang was already a spirit; unless one had opened their heavenly eyes, normal people couldn't see him at all.

...

Qin Ruan still didn't know that Hou Yunjiao was boarding the plane. He wanted to return as soon as possible to protect her and their child.

After persuading her second brother and Lin Hao to go back to their rooms to rest, Qin Ruan also went upstairs to her room to wash up.

After finishing her evening routine, Qin Ruan, with a sense of exhaustion, waited inside the bedroom.

She was waiting for Li Manning to pass on the news from the Nangong family.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

Qin Ruan wore comfortable home clothes and leaned against the head of the bed, idly scrolling through her phone.

As it approached late night, she had already yawned several times in a row.

There were still people chatting in the "Northern Emperor Lord" WeChat group.

Qin Ruan opened the group and checked the conversation.

Nine Miss of Maoshan: [School starts in a few days, doomsday is here!]
[No hope for life.jpg]
Attached below is an emoji.

West Xi of Qingcheng Guard: [Did you have a fun vacation? Miss your classmates and teachers? Finished your homework?]
Nine Miss of Maoshan: [Xishi, you're so mean!!!]
West Xi of Qingcheng Guard threw her an emoji, "Men are bad, women love it."

Nine Miss of Maoshan: [Xishi, you seem to be carefree and idle all the time. How about helping me with my homework?]
[Sure.] West Xi of Qingcheng Guard: [Can you call me daddy and let me hear it?]
Nine Miss of Maoshan: [What nonsense are you thinking? Can you give birth to me, your daughter?!]
West Xi of Qingcheng Guard: [Whether I can give birth or not depends on whether you call me or not. Come on, say daddy.]
Nine Miss of Maoshan: [Get lost!]
[Do your homework yourself.]
West Xi of Qingcheng Guard's reply was also very straightforward.

Nine Miss of Maoshan: [How about a different title?]
This sounded like a negotiation, indicating a slightly softened attitude.

West Xi of Qingcheng Guard: [But I only want to hear you call me daddy.]
Nine Miss of Maoshan: [...Daddy?]
West Xi of Qingcheng Guard: [Don't play word games here, be sincere and remove the punctuation marks.]
Midnight.
