Cut down the Roots of the Grass, the Home of the Capital

The phone call lasted about ten minutes.

Snap!

As soon as he hung up the phone, Zhang Fenglin's hand shook and his cell phone slipped out of his hand and fell to the floor at his feet, smashing the screen and powering off.

"What's going on???"

Liu Hangong and Chen Zhonghe looked at each other, both realizing something was wrong.

"It's him."

After a long pause, Zhang Fenglin finally regained his composure from the shock and panic, gritted his teeth and nodded: "It really is him! I don't know why, but he got out of prison two months early!"

"What's more, before he got out of prison, that fool Su Wenchao went to Qingcheng Prison No. 4 specifically to choose a husband for Su Muqiu, to suppress her. Out of all the prisoners there, he just happened to choose him!"

When they heard this, Liu Hangong and Chen Zhonghe's hearts immediately sank to the bottom.

They were not stupid.

They were the only three who knew the details of what happened five years ago. The Su family, from top to bottom, including Su Bingtian and Su Muqiu, didn't even know Xiao Zhan, let alone Su Wenchao.

What a coincidence?

Su Wenchao didn't know Xiao Zhan at all when he went to Qingcheng Prison No. 4, but he just happened to choose Xiao Zhan at first glance!

It was obviously a trap!

They couldn't understand how Xiao Zhan had been imprisoned in Qingcheng Prison No. 4 for five full years, and was disowned by the Xiao family in Beijing, nothing more than a useless loser, how could he still have so much power to set a trap for Su Wenchao?

Things that can't be figured out are the most terrifying.

"Could it be..."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Hangong said in a deep voice: "A thin camel is still bigger than a horse. Five years ago, after all, he was the young master of the Xiao family in Beijing, cultivated by the Xiao family patriarch as the heir. He must have secretly supported his own power."

"Do you think it's possible that those still loyal to him five years ago are unwilling to give up and want to make a comeback and take revenge?"

Chen Zhonghe nodded: "The possibility is very high!"

"The key issue now is that we don't know which of his forces are in Qingcheng, let alone whether he still has any contacts left in Beijing."

"With how generous he was this afternoon at Ruiding Shopping Mall, beating up Qian Yiming without Qian Yiming daring to fight back, it shows the power hidden behind him is not trivial."

Zhang Fenglin's expression was grave: "Not only that!"

Then, Zhang Fenglin told Liu Hangong and Chen Zhonghe in detail what had happened at noon today at the gate of Qingcheng Prison No. 4.

After listening, both of their faces turned green!

"The army???"

"How...how is this possible!!!"

Looking at the whole Qingcheng city, when it comes to money and power, tycoon Qian Bancheng is undisputedly number one. But even Qian Bancheng only has some connections in the political and military circles, he absolutely can’t mobilize active duty soldiers in the army!

"If I guess right, those men in black should be people sent by the Xiao family in Beijing to deal with Xiao Zhan."

Zhang Fenglin took a deep breath and said, "Not only that!"

Then Zhang Fenglin told Liu Hangong and Chen Zhonghe in detail what had happened at noon today at the gate of Qingcheng Prison No. 4.

After listening, both of their faces turned green!

"The army???"

"How...how is this possible!!!"

Looking at the whole Qingcheng city, when it comes to money and power, tycoon Qian Bancheng is undisputedly number one. But even Qian Bancheng only has some connections in the political and military circles, he absolutely can’t mobilize active duty soldiers in the army!

"If I guess right, those men in black should be people sent by the Xiao family in Beijing to deal with Xiao Zhan."

Zhang Fenglin took a deep breath, and said, "Not only that!"

Then he told Liu Hangong and Chen Zhonghe in detail what had happened at noon today at the gate of Qingcheng Prison No. 4.

After listening, both of their faces turned green!

"The army???"

"How is this possible!!!"

Looking at the whole of Qingcheng, when it comes to money and power, billionaire Qian Bancheng is without a doubt number one. But even Qian Bancheng only has some connections in officialdom and the military, he absolutely cannot mobilize active duty soldiers in the army!

"If I guess right, those men in black suits should be people sent by the Xiao family in Beijing to deal with Xiao Zhan."

Zhang Fenglin took a deep breath and said, "The army took Xiao Zhan away, personally sent Xiao Zhan to the Royal Hotel, and made Xiao Zhan and Su Muqiu get engaged. Obviously they are friends not enemies."

"Also, they made Su Wenchao choose Xiao Zhan without knowing it, then escorted Xiao Zhan to the Royal Hotel. This is clearly two small steps in a bigger plan. Since the military was involved in the second half, we have reason to suspect that Xiao Zhan's backer is someone in the military, someone in the army helped him get out of prison and carry out the whole plan..."

"This!"

Liu Hangong stood up abruptly in shock and cried, "You mean he can mobilize people in the army???"

Cold sweat kept pouring down his forehead.

If it was really like that, it would be too terrifying.

No wonder!

No wonder even Qian Yiming didn't dare fight back after being beaten by Xiao Zhan. Someone with the army backing him, who the hell would dare provoke him? If you provoke him, like this morning, he can casually call over a couple hundred soldiers, each holding a submachine gun, wouldn't they be able to wipe out a big family in minutes!

Chen Zhonghe was also scared. He secretly glanced at the clock on the wall, and couldn't help feeling relieved that he had the foresight to book plane tickets for his son and wife tonight to take refuge in Beijing!

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable if Xiao Zhan sought revenge!

"So..."

Liu Hangong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in horror, "What should we do next? We can't just sit here waiting for him to come to us, can we?"

"Five years in prison, plus his mother Miao Xiangzhu's death, this is a blood feud. Now that he's out, he definitely won't let it go!"

Despair was audible in his trembling voice.

"Don't panic!"

Although Zhang Fenglin was equally shocked and afraid, he was much calmer than the panicked Liu Hangong. After thinking for a moment, he sneered, "So what if a thin camel is still bigger than a horse? We are horses. We can't beat him, but don't forget, we only dared to do that back then because we were following orders from the Xiao family in Beijing. His mother Miao Xiangzhu knelt to death outside the Xiao family's door!"

"The Xiao family in Beijing is the real camel!"

"He has an army background, but does the Xiao family in Beijing have one? So as long as we notify the Xiao family in Beijing of his release from prison as soon as possible, once the Xiao family's people arrive, he'll be finished!"

Liu Hangong's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, yes, the Xiao family! The Xiao family in Beijing is now controlled by the old matriarch. The old matriarch hates him as much as us and wants him dead as soon as possible! You also said earlier that those men in black suits are likely people sent by the Xiao family in Beijing!"

Saying that, he immediately and eagerly took out his cell phone, and said excitedly: "No time to lose, I have the Xiao family's number in my phone. I'll call them right away and have the Xiao family investigate his background thoroughly, then nip him in the bud!"

Zhang Fenglin didn't stop him.

Now it was a race against time. If Xiao Zhan used his military connections to target the three families, they had no ability to protect themselves. So they could only pin their hopes on the Xiao family in Beijing making a move against Xiao Zhan before he made a move against them, eliminating this threat.

But when Liu Hangong made a call, after a moment, what came from the phone was a familiar electronic voice: Sorry, the number you dialed is busy, please try again later...

...

In Beijing, the Xiao Family.

As one of the top two or three most prominent families in Beijing, the Xiao family manor covers over ten acres, with buildings everywhere and majestic halls, indescribably magnificent.

At this time, in one of the attic rooms, a man in his thirties held a cell phone. As he listened to the voice coming from the phone, his expression gradually became serious, and his deep eyes also grew colder.

"Xiao Zhan?"

After a moment, the middle-aged man hung up the phone and murmured to himself: "He's so lucky to be alive! With dozens of people going after him, he actually wasn't captured, and instead went to the Su family as a son-in-law!"

After speaking, he turned and walked out of the attic, heading straight for the main hall.
