Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 555 - 455: Meeting
Chapter 555: Chapter 455: Meeting
Yun Yue sneered, not knowing where he discerned that she was causing trouble. Her voice was icy as she spoke, "You should understand that we are destined to be mortal enemies; He Yao won’t let you or me off the hook!"
After hanging up the phone, her eyes and brows were covered with frost.
But Qiu Jun was right. He Yao was a madman, and memories from years ago involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
He would do anything for Ji Wenjun.
She had to be completely, fully prepared.
She informed Xiao Bai and doubled the protection at the City Center Hospital, insisting that everyone entering and leaving undergo inspection.
At midnight, the rain showed no sign of stopping. Instead, lightning flashed, and thunder boomed as if the entire sky were about to burst and collapse like the end of the world, leaving everyone sleepless.
The heavy rain continued for two days, and the water began to accumulate, unable to drain. If it kept raining, Beijing might very well turn into a water city.
Fortunately, on the third day, the rain gradually stopped. The streets were washed clean by the torrential downpour, and the sun remained as fiercely blinding as ever.
After two days of anxiety, when everyone saw the rainbow following the rain, all their worries evaporated along with the rainwater.
The high-level meeting that was initially planned proceeded as usual that day.
This time, the meeting was conducted secretly, with only the top echelons of Beijing in attendance.
Xiao Chen, sitting at the head of the table, began with grave solemnity, "This meeting concerns the safety of the entire Beijing, and I hope everyone can join hands to confront the danger."
Since Xiao Chen had taken up the role of Chief Executive Officer, he had never been so serious and earnest, particularly when it involved the safety of Beijing. Everyone realized the situation might be more severe than they imagined.
He Chong knew and was willing; thus, he felt even guiltier.
Family heads from the Four Major Families were present today. Yun Yue attended on behalf of Ji Xian, along with the President of the Soldier Association, the Weapon Association Chairman, the Field Army commander, and other personnel.
"This meeting is held in secret, and I hope that after you leave, you will not disclose details to anyone to avoid leaks."
Xiao Chen displayed a multimedia presentation.
"The Underground Alliance, a terrorist organization for a century, has grown increasingly arrogant in recent decades precisely because of these two individuals."
Quickly, the photos of He Yao and Qiu Jun were projected.
Everyone was shocked to see He Yao’s face!
"Is this Uncle He?!!" Gu Cong suddenly stood up, his normally gentle and scholarly face cracking.
Others felt similarly.
"Yes, it’s him. Over the past two to three decades, the reason for the Underground Alliance’s growing arrogance is precisely He Yao. He must have been the former Alliance Hierarch, and the current hierarch is his sworn son, Qiu Jun."
"How could this be possible!"
Jiang Feng, shocked, spoke up. But thinking back to his actions and madness over twenty years ago, everyone fell silent.
"Gentlemen, I am sorry for letting you all down by having such a rebellious son, for which I feel deeply ashamed," He Chong stood up, deeply distressed, and bowed in apology.
"Elder He, why are you doing this? It’s not your fault, and besides, He Yao is no longer part of the He family," Jiang Feng quickly supported him.
Among those present, he was highly respected. The fault lay with He Yao, not him.
He Chong stood up, suddenly looking ten years older and spoke weakly, "It’s my fault. I owe a big apology especially to the Xiao, Gu, and Ji families."
Bang!
Gu Cong slammed his fist on the table and roared with fury, "Is it true? Was it him who did it four years ago?!"
He could not think of anything else that might warrant such an apology.
"Indeed..." He Chong’s lips and tongue trembled slightly, unable to figure out how to face him.
"Good! Very good! Extremely good!" Gu Cong laughed maniacally.
It was him!
No wonder he had been hidden so deeply!
"I can understand Young Master Gu’s feelings, you want his life and I want it too; today we all gathered here to discuss ways to deal with He Yao and the Underground Alliance," Yun Yue tried to calm him down, seeing that he was struggling to control his emotions.
"Indeed, the most important thing now is to come up with a plan."
Everyone present knew the ins and outs of the Underground Alliance, understanding that competing against them was no easy task.
Gu Cong sat down, his face displaying refined and cultivated features filled with anger.
"First, we must prevent people in Beijing from collaborating with He Yao, and also the person behind Yunguang Conglomerate has always been He Yao, the major families must strengthen their defenses to prevent being destroyed one by one..."
"But we truly don’t have enough manpower, how can we possibly compete with them?" Jiang Feng voiced his concern.
Mass deployment of troops in the city was not an option to avoid panic; however, once the Underground Alliance infiltrated Beijing to create chaos, seizing residents as hostages, their operations would be severely hindered.
Even the trained special forces squads were limited.
Xiao Chen glanced at the silent Yun Yue: "Don’t worry about this; with the help of Golden Net and the Black Alliance, everyone can rest assured."
"Golden Net and the Black Alliance?! They’re willing to help us?" Tang Wenjing was incredulous, these two factions were the last ones who would want to be involved with the Beijing gentry, and now they were protecting them?!
Feng Ye turned his head towards Yun Yue, impressed.
"To be precise, it’s not protection, it’s cooperation," Yun Yue stood up, began distributing materials, "The only forces that can take on the Underground Alliance are the Golden Net Black Alliance and Tu Mi Garden; protecting you also ensures that you aren’t controlled by the Underground Alliance..."
She didn’t know how tough these people were, but with the Underground Alliance’s methods, once captured, their options would either be compliance or death.
To survive, they would do anything necessary, so she had to prepare for the worst.
Gu Cong’s scrutinizing gaze fell on her: "Miss Yun seems very familiar with the forces of Golden Net Black Alliance and even the Underground Alliance."
The others also noticed it.
She had only been accepted by the Ji Family a few days prior, yet her understanding of these powers was far more thorough than theirs.
"How does Miss Yun know this information?" Tang Wenjing asked tentatively.
As the President of the Soldier Association, she had to monitor everyone.
Yun Yue remained silent; Feng Ye spoke up, "The support of Golden Net and the Black Alliance for Yun Yue indicates that her identity is no simple matter, what do you think?"
With that, they would no longer question Yun Yue’s identity.
It was better not to reveal her identity as the Other Shore Flower, fearing it might scare them.
In fact, they believed what Yun Yue had said; they had seen firsthand the support of Golden Net and the Black Alliance for Yun Yue that day, there were no false pretenses.
...
The meeting lasted five hours, and the group left with heavy hearts.
The coming period was likely to be thoroughly turbulent.
After the meeting, Feng Ye stayed behind.
"Master Chen, I think this approach is still too risky, just in case... I mean if something unexpected happens to you and Yun Yue, who else could counter the Underground Alliance?"
"There are no ’ifs,’ he will definitely come," Yun Yue asserted confidently.
