Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 296: Chapter 50: Rising Stars! The Young Men of the Wang Family_1

…

It is impossible to predict what image she will present each time she comes to report her work.

Is this really alright? He had just returned from the Academic Palace, this didn’t mean he has become enchanted by the charisma of the older students.

A fiery gaze flashed across Wang Mei’s eyes as she declared, “I could die without regret if I could do something for the Family Head.”

While she was fervent, she couldn’t help but feel a trace of regret in her heart.

The Head of the Family was good in every aspect, except for ignoring her seductions, which was a real pity.

However, she had the patience to wait. She was also working hard in her cultivation, hoping to reach the Spirit Platform Realm someday.

By then, her lifespan would increase, giving her ample time to serve the family head.

Wang Shouzhe gave up on further interactions with her, focusing meticulously on the intelligence report, studying the original intelligence and some analytical reports.

Over the years, he had not only developed the intelligence department but also conducted endless secret infiltrations against the two prime suspects – the Celestial Lei Family and the Celestial Huangfu Family.

Of course, both were prominent Celestial Families, making the difficulty and risk of infiltration very high.

Thus far, such infiltrations were limited to their peripheries.

Moreover, he had also successively released a series of baits.

This bait would be relatively useless against those families who held no interest in the Wang Family.

However, imagine if a Celestial Family had once plotted against the Wang Family.

Even if they managed to conceal it well, leaving no trace till this date.

They would inevitably keep an eye on Wang Family’s every move. If there were signs of the Wang Family’s rise, it could easily stimulate their sensitivities.

The reasoning was simple. Those with a guilty conscience would always be extra vigilant.

They were afraid that one day, if the Wang family were to truly rise, they might trace back to what happened that year and initiate revenge.

However, this enemy was extremely cautious, hiding deeply. The previous baits Wang Shouzhe had thrown out were mostly ineffective.

Hence, out of desperation,

Wang Shouzhe gradually increased the intensity of the baits, even going as far as to expose the young prodigies of the Wang family at the Academic Palace, forcing their enemies into panic.

It wasn’t until then that some families started to show inconsistencies in their actions and all fell into this trap.

“Wealth Casino!”

A place infamous for harboring all kinds of evils. Here, even some trivial things inspected by Wang Mei had left traces.

Furthermore, he had ties with the Wealth Casino. Back in the day, trouble ensued after Wang Zongwei entered the city and set foot in the Wealth Casino.

“What are the steps to take next, Family Head?” Wang Mei asked respectfully.

“Keep a sharp eye on them, but you and your team should be careful. It won’t be long before we execute our plan,” Wang Shouzhe warned. He was not someone who enjoyed having the initiative in someone else’s hands.

The hidden hand in the dark, was like a Sword of Damocles, persistently hanging over the Wang Family’s head, always on the verge of falling any moment now.

Instead of being passive and helpless, he prefers holding the initiative in his own hands.

…

At the same time,

Outside the Main Residence of the Wang Family,

Two strong horses, one black, one white, galloped from afar and quickly arrived at the courtyard in front of the Main Entrance.

Two knights, a man, and a woman, dismounted in unison.

Both the male and female knight wore unique military style-leather armor made from fierce beast hides, helm on their heads, and long swords by their side.

They looked to be in their twenties. The man was majestic and tall, with a calm and reserved demeanor.

The woman appeared to be even younger, only around eighteen or nineteen, with a curvy figure under the armor and a charming face filled with vigor.

The moment they dismounted, a family general greeted them with several house servants.

He stated respectfully, “Sixth Master, you have returned.”

“Is my fourth brother at home?” The young man, all in military uniform, grand and tall, raised his sword-like eyebrows to ask a question.

This young and chivalrous soldier was the sixth son of the Wang family – Wang Shoulian.

He had been following his father, Wang Dingzu, who had been elevated to a position in the city patrol after advancing to the Spirit Platform Realm, in the patrol camp for the past two years.

“Your sixth master,” replied the family general, “For the past two days, the Family Head has been in the courtyard. Do you wish to see him? I can notify him right away.”

Wang Shoulian offered a slight smile. “There’s no need, I can go myself.”

He turned towards the young woman dressed in the same army uniform, “Qingning, accompany me to pay a visit to fourth brother.”

“But…” Zhou Qingning hesitated with a bit of fear, “What if your fourth brother thinks we are inappropriate… Many prominent families disapprove of their children marrying military women.”

Wang Shoulian took hold of her hand, soothing her gently, “My fourth brother is liberal-minded, he should respect our decision.”

“Should I change my clothes before meeting your fourth sister?” Zhou Qingning voiced hesitantly, “Your brother might fancy a quieter, more sophisticated woman of a great family.”

“Qingning, you are you. You just need to be yourself,” Wang Shoulian held her hand, his expression serious,”You’re not some delicate young woman from a great family, but the woman I, Wang Shoulian, am destined to spend my life with. You need to have faith in me, and in my fourth brother as well. As long as he approves, neither my father nor your father will be a problem.”

“Okay, I will listen to you, Shoulian,” Zhou Qingning’s face flushed a little in embarrassment and happiness at this expression of affection.
