My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 1028 - 1027: The Zhang Family Calamity (2/2)

"Slow down, drive slower, be careful, watch out, the car on the left is changing lanes. Up ahead, the car is braking, be careful. The traffic light, keep an eye on it, slow down! Even slower! There's a car turning left ahead..."

Throughout the journey, Zhang Shaoting was in this state, directing the driver as if in battle, cautiously taking nearly an hour to return to First-Grade Kingdom.

Back at First-Grade Kingdom, Yang Chen said to Zhao Feiyang, "I suppose by now you understand the situation clearly, right?"

"I understand everything!" Zhao Feiyang nodded.

As part of Leonard's core Guard, Zhao Feiyang would get first-hand information.

Yang Chen nodded slightly, "You go to Longyu Group to assist first, we'll study the plan when you return in the evening."

"Yes!" Zhao Feiyang could see that Yang Chen wanted to discuss something with Zhang Shaoting, so he didn't ask further. He took a car key and turned to leave.

After Zhao Feiyang left, Yang Chen focused his gaze on Zhang Shaoting.

Inside the house, Zhang Shaoting seemed more relaxed, no longer looking around nervously, yet his hat and vest remained on.

Yang Chen gestured for Zhang Shaoting to sit down, then sat opposite him, asking, "I've learned some things from Zhao Shisan. Plus, I visited your family back then, but I don't understand the specifics. In these past two years... what happened to the Zhang family?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shaoting's face showed desolate emotions, his lips trembling, as he slowly reached to remove his hat, throwing it aside, his voice shaking, "My... my grandfather... passed away."

"What!" Yang Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes, Elder Zhang always seemed robust, how could this be!

Slowly, Zhang Shaoting said, "My fifth uncle... he had a child."

Yang Chen felt even more bewildered, "How could this be?"

Because the Zhang family's fate was always like this, otherwise Elder Zhang with so many children, would only have Zhang Qishan left to accompany him.

Tomb-robbing is a sin against morality, and the Zhang family was indeed master thieves. Elder Zhang living that long was already a miracle. If Yang Chen hadn't removed the corpse poison within Elder Zhang, he might have been gone long ago.

It's already remarkable for the Zhang family to have a descendant like Zhang Shaoting.

Now that Elder's son outside has had another child, surely it requires other lives to compensate!

Zhang Shaoting said, "My fifth uncle is always on Lijia Continent, I guess you know him."

Yang Chen nodded slightly, Zhang Shaoting's fifth uncle he indeed knew of, even if he didn't say it, Meng Po would pass the information to him.

"My fifth uncle, always abroad, inevitably lonely, finally got together with a Yan Ethnic girl, unexpectedly having a son. However, after the child was born, he was always kept in a separation room. Finally, my fifth uncle had no choice but to contact my grandfather to send the child back for care, as the healthcare there couldn't suffice."

"Upon hearing this, my grandfather realized his end was near. The child was sent back, and the day my grandfather passed away, the child miraculously recovered."

After Zhang Shaoting's recount, Yang Chen felt a myriad of emotions.

The saying "blood is thicker than water," ancestors willing to sacrifice anything for their children's growth.

This was vividly displayed in the Zhang family.

"And now you..." Yang Chen looked at Zhang Shaoting.

Zhang Shaoting's eyes showed a trace of fear, his voice stern, "It's a curse!"

"A curse?" Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, his eagle eyes fixed on Zhang Shaoting.

"When in Ningchuan, didn't my grandfather invite you to the Zhang family estate? In a short time, every time we went out, accidents would inevitably happen, always hovering on the edge of life and death. You told us not to go out, to avoid accidents. But the accidents never went away, always accompanying us."

"Did you find out why?" At that time, Yang Chen felt someone was causing trouble.

Zhang Shaoting clenched his fists, "It's the Xiang family, they reneged on their agreement with my grandfather, going back on their word, wanting us Zhang family to pay the price."

"Xiang family?" Yang Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, unsure which Xiang family Zhang Shaoting meant.

"At the beginning, the Xiang family was one of my grandfather's under-worldly major thieves, venturing everywhere, the most capable one, finally splitting the world with my grandfather. At that time, my grandfather knew it wasn't sustainable, so he withdrew, leaving the outside assets to the Xiang family, keeping Ningchuan's assets, and whitening. But unexpectedly, the Xiang family never stopped, instead causing big troubles, wanting our family to help!"

Yang Chen furrowed his brows, unsure what grievances lay between them.

Thinking for a bit, Yang Chen stood up and said, "You rest, and when matters clear, I'll try to help."

After all, back in Ningchuan, Elder Zhang treated him well. Now that Elder Zhang passed away and the Zhang family faced such crisis, he couldn't just sit and do nothing.

Zhang Shaoting hesitated, a worried look on his face.

"Right, the Xiang family you mentioned, where is it?" Yang Chen asked.

Zhang Shaoting said, "In Huai State Xuan Mountain!"

Upon hearing "Xuan Mountain," Yang Chen's pupils involuntarily constricted, thinking indeed!

Yet Yang Chen didn't understand, what the Xiang family's objectives were in all these years of running and tomb-robbing.

"I know, take care and rest. I'll send someone to investigate the rest." Yang Chen said.

"Yes!" Zhang Shaoting nodded, his entire demeanor like a deflated balloon, slumped on the couch, eyes half-closed, drifting into sleep.

Seeing this, Yang Chen knew Zhang Shaoting hadn't rested well for a while, so he quietly stepped outside, instructing others not to disturb him.

Outside, Yang Chen said to Iron Face, "Investigate the Xiang family at Xuan Mountain, I need detailed information on their family!"

"Yes!" Iron Face immediately proceeded.

Standing outside, watching Zhang Yiran in training, Yang Chen suddenly felt Ancheng's Nine Families were not as simple as they appeared, with definite concealed matters he wasn't aware of.

At this point, Zhao Shisan approached, saying to Yang Chen, "Boss, newly received info, Left Envoy Yang invites Six Families of Ancheng to gather, tonight at South Suburb Manor."

Yang Chen froze, frowning, "Did I not receive an invitation?"

Zhao Shisan felt awkward, "They invited members of Ancheng's Six Families..."

"But I also count as a major force in Ancheng!" Yang Chen exclaimed.

Zhao Shisan looked helpless.

"Unacceptable!" Yang Chen said, "Prepare the car, we're heading to Cloud Mist Mountain to ask, why didn't we receive an invitation, it's too belittling!"

"Uh! Yes..." Zhao Shisan mumbled to himself, finding reasons to make trouble, aren't you just missing Ye Xin?

Of course, these words he dared not voice aloud.
