In a split second, Bai Suxian and Zhang Tie had landed in the courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
The bell ring also reached the courtyard and shocked everybody over there. Almost all the people had exited the courtyard, including Zhang Tie’s parents, wives, kids and Zhang Yang’s family who were all looking at Xuantian Peak with different looks.
‘Did someone knock the bell on Xuantian Peak by mistake?’
Not only Lin Huanxi thought so, almost everyone who heard the bell ring which denoted that the suzerain had returned would think so.
Not until they saw Bai Suxian coming back with Zhang Tie did they wake up.
“Dad…”
“Dad…”
The moment Zhang Tie landed, his kids had identified as they all rushed forward and surrounded him. Watching him back, all of Zhang Tie’s wives were tearful in their eyes.
Zhang Tie touched his kids’ heads as he walked towards his parents with them.
Only after a few days, Zhang Tie abruptly found that his parents had got some more grey hair and eyebrows, which must be caused by overconcern. Although with tears in eyes, his parents were still watching him with a smile.
Catching sight of the deepening wrinkles on their face, Zhang Tie’s heart raced suddenly as he directly knelt down in front of them, saying, “Dad, mom, it’s my fault, I’ve made you worry about me!”
“Get up, get up. It’s nice for you to come back; it’s nice for you to come back. It would be better than anything else as long as we as a family could stay together safe and sound!” Zhang Tie’s dad hurriedly helped Zhang Tie stand up as he added, “Your mom and I have realized that we could give up everything else as long as we as a family could stay together, whether it was Jinwu Business Group or a great fortune. You mom even burned incenses for you in the temple. She’s promised to not eat meat and do more good deeds for the sake of our family when you come back.”
“Dad, don’t worry. Such a thing would never happen again. Our family would live an increasingly better life…” Zhang Tie said calmly and decisively after standing up, looking at his father, then the rest at present.
After staying for 3 hours with his family and soothing his parents, Zhang Tie talked to Zhang Yang and his wives secretly for half an hour about what he had experienced during the past one week.
Generally, the fact that Zhang Tie was missing shocked the world too much. However, Zhang family’s business was not influenced. None of the idiots dared rob Zhang family, either. At this crucial moment, the value and power of Zhang Tie’s interpersonal relation became significant. Lord Guangnan’s Mansion and Heavenly Fortune Sect both assigned heavenly-knight powerhouses to protect Zhang family in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and stabilize the overall situation facing Youzhou Province and Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. The crown prince assigned the chief justice to investigate this case in Youzhou Province. The military of Taixia Country was shocked as a whole. Zuo Qiuming who was at the bank of Weishui River issued an order to have all the provincial armies and top four armies within Northeast Military Region enter the emergency situation. Curfew was executed in many places. The military had been mobilized to search and catch suspects.
The remnants of Heavens Reaching Church and demons were doubted as the troublemakers. Of course, it was reasonable for Taixia military to take actions for it.
Besides, all the major clans that cooperated with Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory to produce fiery oil and Jinwu Business Group’s business partners across the country had taken action. They all extended their regards to Zhang Tie’s family constantly whether they were sincere or not. The major clans and top 100 business groups in Taixia Country also offered great rewards for catching the accomplices. Anyone who could provide any clue would gain hundreds of millions of gold coins in total.
Because of the shocking amount of rewards, all the advanced bounty criminal hunters in Taixia Country couldn’t stand pouring into Youzhou Province or collecting clues in all provinces. Not only that, even many paladins and powerhouses of major clans across the country had been stimulated to search for Zhang Tie.
In Zhang Yang’s words, the fact that Zhang Tie disappeared shocked the whole world and displayed Zhang family’s influence to the rest of the world. Zhang family had been completely different than before.
However, Zhang Yang felt a bit scared when he mentioned about Mr. Liu whom he employed to protect Zhang family, “Mr. Liu has followed me for so many years. He’s diligent and docile. I always trusted him. I’ve not imagined that he could betray me at the critical moment. Thankfully, you’ve had Zhang Gui hide his identity at home; otherwise, I would have no face to see you if our parents’ safety was threatened!”
“Elder brother, you should appreciate that Mr. Liu didn’t target you. As you treated him as your bodyguard, if he suddenly launched a strike against you, you’ve long been killed!” Zhang Tie sighed, “Then, how could I have explained it to our parents and my elder sisters-in-law?”
Zhang Yang was infuriated as he pinched a delicate and expensive blue and white porcelain cup into pieces, saying, “We would never call it an end. No matter who’s behind Mr. Liu, we brothers have to avenge this time. What do we make so much money for? This father is not a knight; however, this father has money. I could afford almost everything, including cities, land, element crystals, beauties, secret methods, thrones and countries. I don’t believe that knights don’t like them. I will kill him by money…”
“Elder brother, I will deal with Mr. Liu. I’ve already known who’s behind him…” Zhang Tie said as he hung his eye light.
“Ahh, you know who’s behind him?” Zhang Yang asked as he looked at Zhang Tie with eyes wide open.
Zhang Tie nodded.
Zhang Yang gazed at Zhang Tie as he was waiting for Zhang Tie’s answer; however, after finding that Zhang Tie became silent, he immediately knew that Zhang Tie didn’t want to mention about the culprit. Therefore, he didn’t ask Zhang Tie anymore.
As brothers, they could say everything to each other. Zhang Yang knew that the silence didn’t indicate mistrust but that Zhang Tie didn’t want to have him involved in this event. Additionally, Zhang Tie had already made a decision inside.
Zhang Yang also sensed Zhang Tie’s difference. Besides looking more profound, Zhang Tie might be hiding something inside…
