Chapter 529: Chapter 529: To protect his wife and child, Third Master initiates Huo Family’s A-level action

When Huo Yunjiao’s words reached the ears of the elderly master of the Huo family, his lips trembled slightly, and he was speechless.

This was his painful scar, a topic no one dared to bring up.

Even Huo Yunjiao hadn’t mentioned it before.

The old master called out unsteadily: "Jiaojiao..."

Huo Yunjiao replied softly: "I am here."

"What is your plan since you’ve called me?"

"The ambitions of the Nangong family have grown too much these years. Grandfather, I plan to execute a Level A operation."

Huo Yunjiao’s words were accompanied by a murderous aura, with each word resounding powerfully.

"A Level A operation?" The elderly master asked, his voice a tad surprised.

He clutched his phone and turned on the light in the bedroom, "The Huo family hasn’t had such a large-scale operation in decades."

The serious and heavy expression on the master’s face was clearly visible.

Huo Yunjiao responded, "Grandfather, Uncle Long’s health has been deteriorating these years. It doesn’t matter whether he steps down next year or this year, it is an opportune time for the Lu family to take over. The Nangong family must be removed, I will not allow the slightest harm to come to Ruanruan and our child."

He knew what the old man was worried about - maintaining the balance among the major families and not affecting the overall situation.

The elderly master stayed silent for a while and then slowly said, "Jiaojiao, the Nangong family has been standing tall in Capital City for a hundred years. Their foundation is not as shallow as you think. Taking a step against them could trigger a series of events. Think carefully."

Huo Yunjiao stayed silent.

Having already assumed control of the Huo family, he had a clear understanding of the power dynamics of the six aristocratic families in Capital City.

Launching a Level A operation was a decision he made in a state of absolute calmness.

The old master continued, "The Nangong family, although not comparable to the four great families, have a solid foundation and are not easy to shake. They have infiltrated various industries and are deeply rooted.

If we act against the Nangong family, we, the Huo family, won’t suffer much loss, but those ordinary people who depend on the Nangong family for their livelihoods will. The survival of tens of thousands of people will become the biggest issue.

This is only within Capital City, the people in other regions are not yet accounted for."

"I know."

Huo Yunjiao’s deep voice echoed in the elderly master’s ears, "Grandfather, if the Nangong family falls, there’s still the Xiao family."

"The Xiao family?"

The elderly master’s eyes flickered slightly, "Has the Xiao family made their position clear?"

Huo Yunjiao said, "Xiao Wenrou marrying into the Nangong family is the Xiao family’s stance."

The moment the Xiao family decided to support the Nangong family, they also became their most significant threat.

Unfortunately, the Nangong family knows nothing of this.

The elderly master said gravely, "Jiaojiao, do you understand what a Level A operation means for the Huo Family, the four great families, and the six aristocrats? The power balance that’s been maintained for a hundred years will be broken, and this is not something that can stabilize in a few years. The Huo family’s responsibility rests on your shoulders. Are you sure you are ready to spend a few years to resolve this?"

Huo Yunjiao’s voice was cold but steady, "I know."

The elderly master knew his grandson’s temperament well, understanding that once he made up his mind, it would be difficult to change.

Left with no other option, the elderly master said, "As long as you are confident and have a clear conscience."

"Grandfather, I have a clear conscience. I am the next successor of the Huo family, Ruanruan’s husband, and the father of our child. I have a responsibility to ensure their safety."

The sound of Huo Yunjiao’s firm and steady voice echoed clearly in the elderly master’s ears.

Hearing his beloved grandson call him ’grandfather’, a slight smile formed on the corners of the elderly master’s lips.

He sighed and said, "Go ahead and act boldly. It’s time to suppress the Nangong family, your grandfather supports you."

"Thank you."

After hanging up, the elderly master walked to the window, looking at the small building where Qin Ruan resided.

His expression was serious and solemn.

But underneath, there was a faint touch of sadness.

His heart was aching a bit.

...

In the US.

Huo Yunjiao ended the call.

"A Level A operation? Third brother, aren’t you playing too hard?"

Huo Yirong couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

Huo Yunjiao’s deep gaze grew colder, and he scoffed, "If you knew what the Nangong family was planning, you wouldn’t think it’s too much."

"They plan on making a move against your wife?"

"It’s not a plan anymore, they’ve already started."

Huo Yunjiao hurriedly moved to board the plane at a fast pace.

He was anxious to return to Qin Ruan’s side.

Even though he knew she could protect herself, he still felt uneasy.

By overstepping boundaries this time, the Nangong family was not just challenging the bottom line of the Huo family, but they were openly provoking them.

...

The Nangong family.

All the personnel on this floor of Nangong Yunlong’s study have been summoned here.

During this time, Nangong Yunlong and Nangong Chang have finished reviewing the surveillance videos.

The subordinate who died earlier glanced a few seconds at one of his men guarding the study door as he stepped out.

With just a glance from Nangong Yunlong, the questionable man was easily disposed of.

Following that, they studied every piece of footage containing any of his actions.

Only after confirming that he hadn’t spread the news did they slowly let their guard down.

They also dealt with several personnel they could not track later on.

Starting tonight, the Nangong family was put on high alert.

In the vast compound, it almost got to the point where there were guards at every ten-meter distance.

The backyard garden.

The place where the Nangong family disposes of bodies.

A body that had obviously stopped breathing began to move slightly in the darkness of the night.

In a space invisible to the naked eye, a phantom floated out from the body.

This ghost was none other than Wu Daolong, the victim of the massive purge within the Nangong family tonight.

Or rather, because of Wu Daolong’s strange actions, other people’s attention was drawn, which led to the wrongful death of the person he possessed.

Wu Daolong was shrouded in dense black evil energy, a grim smile spreading across his ugly face.

The people of the Nangong family were hypocrites, letting him taste death again.

"I’m going to kill you all!"

Wu Daolong’s vicious voice echoed in the deserted garden.

Even if someone passed by at this moment, no one would hear him.

Wu Daolong had become a puppet. Unless one had the Heavenly Eye, they definitely wouldn’t be able to see him.

...

Qin Ruan didn’t know that Huo Sanye had boarded a flight just to rush back to protect her and their child.

After persuading her second brother and Lin Hao to go back to their rooms to rest, she also went upstairs to refresh herself.

After washing up, Qin Ruan waited in the bedroom, fighting off sleepiness.

She was waiting for Li Manning to relay information from the Nangong family.

The night was sure to be sleepless.

Qin Ruan, dressed in comfortable loungewear, sat by the bedside, idly scrolling through her phone.

Approaching midnight, she had already yawned several times consecutively.

People were still chatting in the WeChat group [Emperor Beitai Above All].

Qin Ruan clicked on the group chat to check the conversation.

Maoshan Ninth Maiden: [School is starting in a few days. The end of the world is here!]

[Sad and desperate.jpg]

She attached a funny picture below.

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [Did you enjoy your vacation? Do you miss your classmates and teachers? Have you finished your homework?]

Maoshan Ninth Maiden: [Xishi, you’re so bad!!]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi replied with a picture message that read "Women love bad men".

Maoshan Ninth Maiden: [Mr. Xishi, you seem so carefree all the time. Would you like to help me with my homework?]

[Sure.] Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [Call me ’Dad’ first?]

Maoshan Ninth Maiden: [What are you imagining? How could you be the father of a grown daughter like me?!]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [Whether or not I can be, depends on whether you call me ’Dad’. Now, be a good girl and call me ’Dad’.]

Maoshan Ninth Maiden: [Get lost!]

[Do your own homework.]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi’s response was also very straightforward.

Maoshan Ninth Maiden: [Can I choose another title?]

Her challenging tone suggested she was relenting.

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [But I only want to hear you call me ’Dad’.]

Maoshan Ninth Maiden: [...Dad?]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [Don’t play word games here. Be sincere, remove the punctuation!]
