At this moment, Mrs. Wan was extremely panicked, able only to bolster her own courage by crying out!

"To a military tribunal? You all joined together to kidnap my mother, which is tantamount to treason. A bunch of traitors, killing you is as good as done!"

Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh, then added, "You say I am a devil, and you are not wrong. For my family, for my mother, I will become the devil if I must!"

This voice, cold as the sound from the ninth abyss, made Mrs. Wan's heart skip a beat.

"Head of the Jiang Family, it's our fault, your mother hasn't been harmed, and you've already vented your anger, please spare us!" Wan Tianlin pleaded, his heart filled with dread.

"Today, no one will leave. The Jincheng Wan Family shall be annihilated!" Jiang Chen said coldly.

"You, you dare! My father is Fang Mingyuan, if you kill me, he will never let you go!"

Mrs. Wan screamed exhaustedly, having no other choice but to mention her own father. Even now, she believed Jiang Chen would surely have some regard for her father.

Whirr whirr whirr!

An overwhelming killing intent burst forth from Jiang Chen, pressing directly towards Li Chen and the others.

Whoosh whoosh!

The two Semi Innate Grand Masters standing behind Wan Tianlin hurriedly stepped forward, lining up with Li Chen to shield the couple from this fierce killing intent.

However, the moment they came in contact with Jiang Chen's killing intent, they immediately regretted it.

Under the shroud of killing intent, Li Chen and his two companions felt like they had fallen into an abyss, marked for death by a demon, leaving them shocked and chilled to the bone, incapable of mustering any thoughts of resistance!

A flash of cold light in Jiang Chen's eyes, he delivered a fierce slash, shouting out, "First Form of the Blood Dance Heaven and Earth, Sky-cleaving Slash!"

Swish!

A blood-red blade shadow appeared, savagely striking towards Li Chen and the two men.

"Head Instructor Jiang, you..."

As an Innate Grandmaster, although Li Chen was dismayed by Jiang Chen's murderous intent, he still managed to muster up a thread of resistance, but seeing that rapidly slashing blade light, he could only shout out in time.

Shick!

The sound of the blade piercing flesh rang out, the blood-colored blade shadow cleaving Li Chen and the two men halfway through their bodies.

Thump! Thump!

Sssss...

Three bodies fell to the ground, their blood spraying all over Mr. and Mrs. Wan.

"Ah!"

Mrs. Wan shrieked, her vision darkening, and she fainted.

Thump!

Wan Tianlin's legs gave way, and he knelt on the ground, crying out loudly, "Head of the Jiang Family, Head of the Jiang Family, I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare me, spare my life, just treat me like a fart and let me go!"

"Wan Tianlin, your sons have provoked me time and again, and I have ignored it, but you even dared to kidnap my mother. Remember, the one who has sent the Wan Family to its doom is you, Wan Tianlin!"

Jiang Chen declared coldly, carelessly sending another slash.

Swish!

The blade light emerged and swiftly cleaved into Mr. and Mrs. Wan's bodies.

Shick!

Thud!

On the ground, two more headless bodies lay!

"Yan Hu, start a fire!"

Jiang Chen's indifferent command issued, he turned and took Shen Xiaoqin from Chen Feng's hands and stepped towards the staircase.

"Yes!" Yan Hu respectfully answered.

...

That evening.

A news story appeared on the Jincheng evening news—fire broke out in the villa estate of the Wan Family, the Family Head Wan Tianlin and his spouse perished in the Sea of Flames!

"The Wan Family is gone!"

In a courtyard situated at the central area of Jincheng,

Old Master Song was fiddling with an old-fashioned radio, listening to the news coming from it, and murmured softly.

"Grandfather, do you think Fang Mingyuan can swallow this loss?" Song Wanqiu walked out from the room in the north, throwing a coat over Old Master Song's shoulders.

Old Master Song's expression slightly changed, he shook his head helplessly, "How could he? Fang Mingyuan only has that one daughter! Alas, a single misstep causes an eternal regret! Fang Mingyuan, oh Fang Mingyuan, don't you go and do something reckless!"

"Grandfather, should we...," Song Wanqiu said, her eyes filled with meaningful intent as she looked at Old Master Song.

Old Master Song turned to glance at Song Wanqiu, speaking in a low voice, "Can that young man really help you escape that matter?"

"Aside from him, there's probably no one else!" Song Wanqiu spoke in a low voice.

Old Master Song nodded slightly, as if talking to himself, "The military joint exercise with Pakistan still lacks a commander-in-chief. It seems Fang Mingyuan is a good candidate. I hope, once he returns, he can let it go!"

Song Wanqiu glanced at Old Master Song, saying nothing more. A deputy district commander like Fang Mingyuan was indeed not someone who could be dealt with so easily. That Old Master Song would make such a move was already giving face to Jiang Chen.

...

In the Jiang Family Courtyard.

The night after returning home, Jiang Chen slept as if nothing had happened, holding both Gong Lin and Ye Yùwǎn.

The next morning, Butler Lu arrived and called him to Elder Master Jiang's courtyard, where Jiang Minglou, Jiang Mingcheng, and Jiang Yuqing had been waiting early.

"Chen'er, about the Wan Family's incident..." When Jiang Chen sat down, Elder Master Jiang spoke softly.

Jiang Chen smiled and interrupted, "Grandfather, are you still going to say that I was reckless?"

"No, no, of course not."

Elder Master Jiang waved his hand, "What I mean to say is, with the Wan Family's issue concluded, the Wang Family—your three great-uncles went there, killed Wan Tianlin's sister Wan Zi, and forced the Wang Family to stay out of this matter. As for Fang Mingyuan, Old Master Song personally nominated him to lead the joint military exercise in Pakistan. For now, it appears we have suppressed the Wan Family issue!"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

"Last night, I ordered a full-scale clampdown on Wan Family's assets. Gong Lin's sister-in-law and Ye Jingyi's sister-in-law have also taken action. The Zhang Family, Meng Family, Sun Family, and Gong Family have all spoken up, too. The Wan Family's downfall is just a matter of time!" Jiang Yuqing added.

Jiang Chen fell silent for a moment before speaking softly, "The downfall of the Wan Family is not a surprise to me, but... once Fang Mingyuan returns, there will surely be further issues. Yuqing, after the fall of the Wan Family, the Jiang Family should consolidate funds completely. Cease all long-term projects and transfer the funds to Lin Yue in Jiuzhou. She is working on some international collaborations. Even if Fang Mingyuan wants revenge, he won't be able to reach overseas!"

"Chen'er, is that necessary?" Elder Master Jiang asked in surprise, "Old Master Song has already spoken, would Fang Mingyuan still dare to cause chaos?"

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, "Last night, Mr. Xu called me. He said that Fang Mingyuan broke with him face to face yesterday, so he will definitely come back for revenge."

"You are right; it seems Fang Mingyuan will surely seek revenge."

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Elder Master Jiang nodded and sighed, "If he seeks revenge, the first strike will be the most ruthless and the most difficult to defend against. Once we survive the first wave, we can counterattack. If it really doesn't work... we might have to give up Longteng!"
