Hongbei Yuanye opened the window and looked around. He didn’t find anything.
“What’s wrong?” Hongbei Liang asked cautiously. He was afraid that others would hear their conversation. Although he was confident in the Hongbei family’s guards, it would be a different story if there were insiders.
Every large family had their own internal conflicts, and the Hongbei family was the same. This was also why the members of the Hongbei family, who had been living in seclusion behind the government, had appeared in the political arena one after another over the years.
It was also his father’s idea that Hongbei Yongye would take up a position in the political arena.
“It’s nothing. It’s just a cat.” Just as Hongbei Yuanye said the last word, his body froze and he fell straight to the ground, unable to move. However, Hongbei Liang and Hongbei Yongye were shocked. Hongbei Yongye couldn’t care less about his usual dissatisfaction with his brother and he ran over anxiously. “What’s wrong with you?”
Hongbei Liang couldn’t sit still anymore. He stood up with his walking stick and frowned as he walked towards Hongbei Yuanye. As he walked, he said to Hongbei Yongye, “Yongye, quick, close the window first.”
Although Hongbei Liang didn’t know why his eldest son suddenly fell to the ground and couldn’t move, he didn’t feel anything strange. However, his many years of experience made him feel that there was an unknown dangerous aura outside the window.
“Okay.” After listening to his father’s words, Hongbei Yongye didn’t dare to be negligent. He stood up and was about to close the window.
Hongbei Yongye stretched out his hand to close the window, while his eyes were vigilantly watching outside the window, looking for any danger outside the window. When Hongbei Yongye closed the window halfway, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura approaching him. He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but before he could make a move, he felt a pain in his shoulder, he looked down and saw a silver needle sticking out. Then, his body went numb and he fell backwards.
“Yongye!” When Hongbei Liang sensed that something was wrong, his youngest son, Hongbei Yongye, had already fallen to the ground. “Who is it? Who Is it outside? Come out, or don’t blame me for being rude.” Hongbei Liang looked at his two sons who were lying on the ground and knocked the crutches in his hands loudly. However, he didn’t dare to approach the window anymore. “Xiu Yi, Xiu Yi, come out.” Hongbei Liang shouted at the top of his voice to call for the head of the Hongbei family’s guards. However, after shouting for a long time, there was still no movement. This made Hongbei Liang’s heart jump.
“Elder Hongbei, there’s no need to shout anymore. Even if you shout until your throat is broken today, it’s useless. Xiu Yi won’t appear anymore.” After Chen Meng’er finished speaking, she realized that her words sounded so familiar. She sounded like a villain from those cheesy action flicks.
“Who is it? Come out.” Hongbei Liang heard this voice. It was like a little girl’s voice.
“If you want me to show up, you’ll have to teach me your family’s ninjutsu in exchange.” Chen Meng’er’s luck was really good, she had found a tree stump. She was sitting leisurely on the tree stump, teasing Hongbei Liang.
