Chapter 751: Glory of the Vermilion Bird Family (2)
The Family Heads could not reject Ruan Yingzhe even though they knew this was his plot for them to do his dirty work. Besides, since Ruan Yingzhe had practically gained control of the Vermilion Bird Family, they had no choice but to compromise.
“Mr. Ruan, thank you very much for your help. We will find out Gu Qingming’s whereabouts soon.” Secretly, Qi Cang cursed Ruan Yingzhe. Silver Hands was a mysterious organization. Up to now, no one had an idea of the exact location of their base. Also, Silver Hands’ members could all approach without casting a shadow and leave without leaving a trace. Messing with Silver Hands would be a nightmare for anyone.
The four Family Heads were suffering miserably since they were caught between the Broken Star Palace and Silver Hands.
All of a sudden, a huge noise was heard in the Vermilion Bird Family’s estate.
Shen Duan stood up. That sound came from the backyard, where the dungeon that Shen Feng and Shen Ling were kept in was located.
“What is going on? Send someone to check it out.” Shen Duan could not allow anything to go wrong at this critical juncture when Ruan Yingzhe was playing rough with the four aristocratic families. Just before this, he was just gloating how he was able to ride Ruan Yingzhe’s coattails.
Several guards immediately went to the backyard. Not long afterward, they all ran back, stumbling along.
“Family Head! Shen Feng.. and Shen Ling got out!”
“What did you say?” Shen Duan turned ghastly pale. Shen Feng and Shen Ling should not even have the ability to break the iron door of the dungeon, not to mention escaping. How did they do that?
Qi Cang and the other Family Heads were curious about the sudden happenings in the Vermillion Bird Family. They had all heard about stories of the Vermilion Bird Family. They were quite surprised to see this drama unfolding before them today.
Shen Duan imprisoning Shen Feng was not a secret at all. Although the other Family Heads were furious, they dared not to intervene for fear of Ruan Yingzhe.
“Let’s go and take a look.” Ruan Yingzhe felt embarrassed. That being said, he did not think much of it. Since Shen Feng was asking for his doom, then he would grant that wish happily. Using this opportunity, he could warn the other four Family Heads as well.
“Follow me,” Ruan Yingzhe said.
“Of course.” Qi Cang and the other four were curious to begin with. They would never miss a good show.
The Family Heads exchanged eye contact and tagged along.
When Ruan Yingzhe and the others found themselves in the backyard, to their surprise, they saw Shen Feng and Shen Ling standing here refreshed, when the two of them should be on their deathbeds. The five guards behind them had rosy cheeks as well.
But the person that gave them the greatest shock was the little girl standing in front of Shen Feng.
“Shen Yanxiao!” Shen Duan recognized Shen Yanxiao, and a fire was about to burst out from his eyes.
Shen Yanxiao crossed her arms in front of her chest, calm and composed while the situation was intense. She raised her chin as she looked at the startled Shen Duan and Shen Yue.
“Long time no see. I see you two are just as repulsive as before.”
“You bitch! How dare you come back! Do you have no fear?” Shen Duan filed his teeth in hatred. If Shen Yanxiao had not recovered all of a sudden and become the prime candidate for next Family Head of the Vermilion Bird Family, Shen Duan would not have gone through so much trouble.
“Well, since I am the next Family Head for the Vermilion Bird Family, why wouldn’t I dare to come back when the family is in distress? But enough about that, let’s talk about you two bastards. Are you not afraid of bad karma by doing such a bastardly act?” Shen Yanxiao glared at Shen Duan and Shen Yue coldly. These two bastards were not worthy enough to be deemed as members of the Vermilion Bird Family.
