"Belle, are you really going back to Beihai?" Lin Ke asked.
"Fifth Uncle is personally coming, there must be something big happening!" Jiang Meili nodded, "I have to go back quickly!"
"Since that's the case, I'll go with you!" Lin Ke smiled, "This way, we can look out for each other on the road."
"Qingyun Group has already settled in Longdu, and you still have a lot of things to handle. How can I let you go with me!" Jiang Meili smiled, "Moreover, family matters are probably not small, and may even concern survival!"
"It is precisely because of this that I should go!"
Lin Ke nodded solemnly, "We are best friends. If something happens to you, how can I be at ease!"
"But..." Jiang Meili hesitated slightly, looking at Lu Fan at the same time. This matter was no small matter, and if he got involved, even he could not predict the consequences.
"Since Xiao Ke has already said so, let us go," Lu Fan said, "We will definitely not cause trouble for you then."
"Alright! Since you've all said so, let's go together!" Jiang Meili nodded, "It's a good opportunity for you to experience the scenery of Beihai."
Meanwhile, in the Jiang family of Beihai, the head of the Jiang family lay in bed, with several uncles standing beside him, their expressions growing increasingly grim, as if a world-shattering event had occurred.
"I really didn't expect it! The Shen family is so arrogant! And so blatant!"
"That's right, the Shen family doesn't take my Jiang family seriously at all. Not only do they want to snatch Jiang family property! They've even done such a thing!"
Several uncles were filled with righteous indignation. As elders of the Jiang family, how could they tolerate such things happening.
"Uncles, please don't be angry!" The head of the Jiang family said softly, "I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer. My Jiang family has no successor. If Meili doesn't come back soon, the eldest uncle will be in charge!"
"Don't worry, the Jiang family will be fine with us here!"
Several uncles said repeatedly. Three days ago, a master from the Shen family came, wanting to steal the Jiang family's secret manuals. The head of the Jiang family forcefully fought back but was severely injured, his complexion growing increasingly grim.
"The Shen family has a vast number of experts, with three Grandmasters. The Jiang family simply cannot cope!"
The head of the Jiang family said repeatedly, his expression filled with gravity, "If my guess is correct, a master will definitely come today. At that time, the Jiang family will be in peril!"
"Don't you worry, we old fellows are not to be trifled with!" Several uncles said, "If the Shen family dares to act recklessly, we will make sure they never return!"
The head of the Jiang family's expression changed. He knew very well that with the strength of a few uncles, they could not contend with the Shen family at all. The only way now was for Jiang Meili to take the Jiang family's property and leave Beihai. Only then could the Jiang family's secret manuals be preserved.
"Uncles, the Patriarch is so injured, and the young lady is not here! If the Jiang family's secret manuals fall into the hands of others, it will be extremely inappropriate. Why not hand them over to us family disciples!" Several men said, "If we keep them, they should be foolproof!"
"In your care?" The eldest uncle glanced, "You are merely collateral branches of the Jiang family, not true direct descendants. How can the Jiang family's treasures be kept by you!"
"Uncle, your words are too much!" Several men said repeatedly, "We are also family members, how can we not keep them! The young lady has not returned, and Shen family masters are coming. It is most appropriate to hand this over to us for safekeeping!"
"You scoundrels!" The eldest uncle said coldly, "As members of the Jiang family, not only do you not help the Jiang family, but you dare to speak such wild words!"
The expressions of several men changed, but they dared not say anything more. They knew very well that the status of these uncles in the Jiang family was not something they could easily offend.
Now, within the entire Jiang family, apart from a few uncles holding on, many clansmen had already left.
In Beihai, the most powerful Shen family was targeting the Jiang family, and the Jiang family was likely to decline from then on.
Even the head of the Jiang family was severely injured. These points alone indicated that the Jiang family was heading for its doom.
Just as the Jiang family members were in a state of panic, a group of uninvited guests suddenly arrived outside the Jiang family's gate, causing quite a stir.
Many people nearby were watching, their expressions heavy. Three days ago, a group of people had come to the Jiang family and injured the head of the Jiang family. Now, another group of uninvited guests had arrived, attracting much attention.
"This is the Jiang family's gate. Who are you people?"
Several men from the Jiang family said coldly, looking towards the newcomers.
"Beihai Shen family!"
The man at the head smiled lightly, "Has your Jiang family decided? Will you hand over the secret realm or die a violent death!"
"What arrogant words!"
The Jiang family disciples were furious and immediately rushed forward. Unfortunately, in the face of overwhelming strength, they were not worth mentioning. They were instantly repelled, with blood seeping from the corners of their mouths.
"With just a few of you, you think you can block my Shen family's path?"
With a look of indifference, Shen Lao San sneered, "Why don't you go and inquire about what kind of reputation my Shen family has!"
The faces of the Jiang family members turned ashen. The Shen family's arrogance was unbearable, yet their Jiang family was powerless to change the situation.
As many Shen family experts swarmed in, the Jiang family members also came to the courtyard, surrounding the Shen family members. The other members of the Jiang family also stared intently at the people in front of them.
The head of the Jiang family, supported by others, slowly walked to the front hall and looked at Shen Lao San, "Shen Lao San, you severely injured me three days ago, and now you have come to my Jiang family again. Are you bullying people too much!"
"Jiang family head, there's no need to be so dramatic!" Shen Lao San chuckled, "I believe everyone knows what my Shen family's objective is! If the Jiang family head insists on not handing over the item, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"The Shen family is simply too overbearing!"
Several uncles said coldly, "Such behavior is simply despicable!"
"Ridiculous!"
Shen Lao San sneered, "In this world, the strong are respected. Moreover, that secret realm is not the Jiang family's property. Why should the Jiang family head be so stubborn!"
"Hmph! Even if it's not the Jiang family's property, so what!" The head of the Jiang family said coldly, "This item was obtained by my Jiang family ancestors, how can your Shen family be so presumptuous!"
"I am being kind!" Shen Lao San narrowed his eyes, "I don't want to make things difficult for the Jiang family, but if the Jiang family is unappreciative, don't blame my Shen family for being heartless."
The faces of many Jiang family disciples turned ashen. In the Beihai region, the Jiang family was a renowned noble family, and their strength was not to be underestimated. The Shen family's words made them feel indignant.
However, the Shen family's strength was indeed extraordinary. With such a powerful lineup, if the Jiang family were to confront them head-on, they would surely suffer.
"Third Uncle, gather the Jiang family disciples!" The head of the Jiang family said coldly, "Let us fight to the death with the Jiang family!"
"Fight to the death with the Jiang family!"
For a moment, waves of voices arose, and the Jiang family members were filled with righteous indignation.
Although the Shen family was powerful, they could not tolerate such bullying. Even if it meant a fight to the death, they had to seek justice. Otherwise, what would become of the Jiang family's honor.
