Chapter 576: Chapter 0578 Unforgivable [Part 1]

Huang Jianye, upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, felt a piercing coldness in his eyes that was palpable to others.

Minor squabbles and petty tricks among children, Huang Jianye could pretend not to see, but such a blatant threat against his granddaughter’s life was something even a man of great temperament like him could not tolerate.

"If their plan really is such, then how do you explain the two bombs that didn’t have two-thirds of their explosives removed?" Even though Huang Jianye wanted to rage, he needed to understand the ins and outs of this matter first.

Chu Feng’s expression also turned grave as he said, "Elder Huang, this is the real intent to kill. I am certain that the bomb missing two-thirds of its explosives was targeted at me. But the remaining two were very likely aimed at Zixuan.

If something happens to Zixuan, the impact would be enormous. What might happen afterwards is beyond our prediction, but there are only two explanations for its occurrence. The first is that the information meant to target me leaked out and was picked up by someone planning to frame and blame. The second is a trap laid by the Shangguan Family themselves, intended to cover up their true intentions."

By this time, Huang Jianye’s face had grown extremely grim. Since his retirement, Huang Jianye had seldom lost his temper. But this time, he could not hold back his anger. After all, they were targeting his most beloved granddaughter, and not just Huang Jianye—anyone in his place would be furious.

"So, do you think it’s the first scenario, or the second?" Huang Jianye asked, struggling to keep his anger in check.

Chu Feng said, "This is precisely what’s so clever about it because I now know the answer. But I still can’t be sure whether it’s the first scenario or the second."

Huang Jianye said, "Whatever the situation, the Shangguan Family cannot be exonerated. Daring to target my granddaughter, they must pay a price."

At that moment, Huang Jianye truly demonstrated the domineering persona he had commanded on the battlefield, leading thousands of troops.

Huang Jianye immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Shangguan Family." Huang Jianye uttered just three words into the phone, and the response from the other end was a single ’Yes’.

But Chu Feng understood, this time the Shangguan Family was truly in trouble.

Even if the Shangguan Family had merits, even if they had made significant contributions to Huaxia, none of these were grounds for them to disdain the country, the law, or life itself.

And at that moment, inside the old mansion of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Wan and Bai Jiahang were both in the council hall of the old mansion.

All the key figures of the Shangguan Family were there, including the family’s old Ancestor, all were present.

The Shangguan Family Head’s complexion was truly terrifying to behold, even more so than when they had let Chu Feng go.

The Shangguan Family had already learned the gist of the matter through their own channels.

If this event had succeeded, it would have truly been a vengeance for the Shangguan Family. But if it failed, what the Shangguan Family would face could be a catastrophic blow.

At that moment, Shangguan Wan stood there, shivering all over.

All her pride, all her arrogance, had vanished. She was just a terrified woman, very frightened.

She didn’t know what kind of punishment the family would impose on her. Perhaps this time, she might not even be able to save her own life.

"Foolish! Who told you to do such a thing? Do you want to completely bury our Shangguan Family?" the Family Head of the Shangguan Family roared furiously.

"Uncle, I... I just wanted to restore the face of the Shangguan Family. I didn’t expect things to turn out this way," Shangguan Wan explained with a trembling voice.

"So you went to secretly harm Elder Huang’s granddaughter. Do you know the kind of catastrophic impact it would have on our Shangguan Family if she were injured or killed? Our Shangguan Family might cease to exist!" The warning from the Shangguan Family was not an exaggeration.

After all, the current ruler was Huang Zixuan’s father. Such outrageous acts by the Shangguan Family would spell their doom in just a matter of minutes. After all, as powerful as the Shangguan Family was, they were not as powerful as the country.

Bai Jiahang glanced at Shangguan Wan and stepped forward, saying, "Uncle, this idea was mine. Our original plan was not like this, but we didn’t foresee that the news would leak and be exploited by some. The responsibility for this lies with me, and if uncle wants to impose a punishment, I am willing to bear it all."

Seeing Bai Jiahang stepping forward to protect her at this moment moved Shangguan Wan deeply, and her opinion of Bai Jiahang changed like never before.

However, Bai Jiahang’s act of stepping forward obviously did not win any favors from the Family Head of the Shangguan Family.

The Family Head of the Shangguan Family gave a look, and immediately someone stepped forward, kicking Bai Jiahang to the ground, causing him to cough up blood repeatedly.

"Jiahang!"

Seeing Bai Jiahang coughing up blood and unable to rise, Shangguan Wan hurriedly rushed over and helped him up.

"You think just because you’re an outsider, you can take this on? Let me tell you, no one can bear the consequences of what you all did today. Even if your Bai Family were shattered, you couldn’t handle this. And to think you didn’t even consult us about such a major matter," the Family Head of the Shangguan Family was truly furious.

After all, this really was a matter of life and death, and he couldn’t help but be furious.

"Brother, I am also at fault here. It’s because I failed in my duty to raise her properly. If you want to punish someone, punish me too," the father of Shangguan Wan stood up and said.

"Dad!"

Shangguan Wan hadn’t expected her father to stand up at this moment, and she was incredibly moved.

"Shut up, you evil daughter. Kneel down now and apologize to the Ancestor and your uncle!" Shangguan Wan’s father shouted unceremoniously.

Frightened, Shangguan Wan knelt down with a thud and said, "Ancestor, uncle, I really just wanted to restore the honor of the Shangguan Family. I didn’t expect the news to leak. I truly realize my mistake, please spare me this one time."

The Family Head of the Shangguan Family snorted coldly and said, "Spare you? How can I spare you? Do you realize that the operation to purge our Shangguan Family has already begun? Just a moment ago, two very important informants of our Shangguan Family in Yanjing were taken away. By tonight, I don’t know how much my Shangguan Family will have lost. How can I just spare you when the others in the Shangguan Family will not agree?"

Listening to her uncle’s words, Shangguan Wan collapsed onto the ground, her face void of any color. Not being spared was tantamount to being sentenced to death.
