Chapter 637
Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Unfortunate Family_1 Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Unfortunate Family_1 Xu Dan’s heart skipped a beat as he responded, “Yes!”
He had been unsure about the origin of these men in black, but as soon as he heard Xu Fan saying they were heading to the Xu Family, he immediately realized what was happening.
It meant that some people in the Xu Family would ultimately pay the price for the mistakes they had made.
He also cursed Xu Tianhu for having the brain of a pig, daring to send men to attack the people of the old residence—truly he was tired of living.
Having followed Xu Fan for a while, Xu Dan had come to understand his temperament quite well, knowing that he was neither vengeful nor bloodthirsty, but that was only in cases where Xu Fan and his friends and family bore no ill will.
Xu Dan beckoned with his hand and immediately called Zhou Xian and a few others to leave the old residence and arrange for vehicles.
At that moment, Xu Fan walked slowly to his mother, Zhang Qingning, and said gently, “Mom, we are now going to the Xu Family.
I am determined to clear the injustice you have suffered over these years.”
Zhang Qingning trembled, looking at Xu Fan and said after thinking, “Fan’er, have you found the murderer who killed your father?
If not, then listen to your mom and let’s live peacefully first.”
“Your father’s death has caused us great harm, but if we keep dwelling on it, that is definitely not what he would have wanted.
What’s the point of chastising those people just to vent our anger?”
“Mom, I know you hope that I can live in peace, watch me start a family, and live a happy life.”
Xu Fan gritted his teeth and said firmly, “But I can’t forget my dad’s death, and these people never stop, repeatedly sending men to take me out and even targeting my friends and family.
Mom, just take a look outside and you’ll know, just now there were more than twenty men in black carrying weapons who came in, but I’ve dealt with them all.”
“Your son now has enough strength to not be bullied by others anymore, and I will seek double restitution for all our debts.”
Zhang Qingning’s heart quivered; it turned out her son had already been the target of multiple assassination attempts by the Xu Family.
No wonder her son said he was going to clear her name; he must have found some clues, or even identified the real culprit.
Without any hesitation, she nodded immediately and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.
These past few years, I’ve dreamed of bringing the real culprit to justice.”
“The culprit has not been confirmed yet, but it’s mostly certain that it has something to do with Xu Tianhu.
We are now going to the Xu Family to see their reaction, which will help me confirm further,” Xu Fan shared his suspicions.
Through various signs, he discovered that the current Xu Family was closely linked with the Black Blade Organization.
First, Huang Yechun near Xu Qiyin was confirmed to be a person from the Black Blade who practiced Evil Spirit Possession, and the group of men in black who invaded the old residence were also from the Black Blade Organization, and it was under the arrangements of Elder Tan, a patron of the Xu Family, that this operation took place.
Additionally, the information given to him by Li Qianqian, that a person named Ren Tianhei had approached the Xu Family.
All these clues interlinked with each other, were enough to make out the scent of a conspiracy.
The Black Blade Organization, it seemed, had been infiltrating the families of Yanjing over the years with the aim of gradually gaining control over them.
They had wild and ambitious designs.
Probably, the Black Blade Organization first approached Xu Tianlong, but the latter, being a Flame Dragon who was an enemy of the Black Blade and someone with firm beliefs, was not enticed and outright refused to collude with them, prompting the organization to consider replacing the Xu Family head, hence the removal of Xu Tianlong and the promotion of Xu Tianhu.
Xu Tianhu, who was greatly obsessed with the position of Family Head, was easier to control and became their target for manipulation.
However, all of the above were just Xu Fan’s speculations based on the clues, not the actual facts.
“Alright, let’s go to the Xu Family now.
If we can bring the truth to light and catch the real culprit, I believe your dad can rest in peace too,” she said.
Zhang Qingning nodded firmly, her voice choked with emotion.
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Dan and the others drove five BMWs from the rental agency, formed a convoy, and parked at the gate.
After everyone boarded the vehicles, they headed for their destination—the Xu Family.
The main residence of the Xu Family was located in the most bustling area of Yanjing, a large estate that occupied a wide area, rumored to have been the mansion of a prince hundreds of years ago.
With the collapse of the Great Qing, the Manchus retreated beyond the Great Wall and the Xu Family became the new master of the estate.
After renovation and partial reconstruction, it served as the main residence of the Xu Family.
Outside the manor’s main gate stood two stone lions, each with a majestic aura, estimated to weigh over a thousand pounds.
The grand plaque above the gate bore only two simple characters: “Lin Residence.”
The carving was done in iron and silver, strong and vigorous.
On the right side of the entrance was a security office, split into two levels: the second floor housed a rest area and tool rooms, while the first floor was a workspace, staffed with ten security guards around the clock.
These security guards and patrol members were all former special forces, and the kind with formidable strength at that.
To call them soldier kings would not be an exaggeration.
In addition, after entering the gate and verifying their identity at security, one also had to pass through an electronic door.
Only after a scan with infrared could they enter, after having removed any weapons they carried.
And the manor’s surrounding high walls were covered with an electrical grid and numerous surveillance cameras, leaving no blind spots.
But even this was not enough, for the Xu Family had further organized six patrol teams, each team consisting of five sub-teams, with six members per sub-team.

At any given moment, two patrol teams would be on guard, thirty people outside the wall, thirty inside, ostensibly carrying batons, but all were actually armed with knives and guns.
It had to be said that the Xu Family’s security measures were indeed very thorough; not even a fly could get in.
In fact, the mere reputation of the Xu Family was enough to deter anyone from even thinking about sneaking in.
But now, both inside and outside the Xu Family’s main residence, there loomed a heavy atmosphere, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, a sense of an impending storm.
Two Land Rovers drove out from the main gate, one leading the way and the other following, jointly escorting a luxury limousine in the middle.
After the convoy left the gate, its destination was unknown.
The many affiliated families and branches of the Xu Family also heeded the summons of Xu Tianhu, each bringing their own experts to the Xu Family estate, where they collected weapons and equipment from the patrol sub-teams.
As more people arrived, the heads of the affiliated families and branches realized something was amiss and hurriedly inquired about the situation from Xu Tianhu.
Their subordinates chatted with the Xu Family guards, but they didn’t manage to learn any inside information.
“Brother Li, did it go smoothly?”
Xu Tianhu asked Li Luyuan with some concern as he took the main seat in the reception hall.
“The Family Head can rest assured, the madam and Young Master were transferred without issue, and they were escorted by ten members of the Storm Squad.
There won’t be any problems,” answered Li Luyuan.
“That’s good to hear,” Xu Tianhu sighed with relief.
The Storm Squad was a covertly trained military force of the Xu Family, a total of thirty members, all Ancient Martial Artists.
Led and taught by Patron Li Luyuan, who was in the late stage of Grandmaster, the squad included two who had just entered the level of Grandmaster, while the rest ranged from the late stage of Body Tempering to the complete stage of Qi Drawing.
In the Ancient Martial World, such a force might not be considered much, but in the Secular World, it was a significant armed power.
“Brother Xu, what exactly is going on?”
“Is there a formidable enemy at our doorstep?
Don’t worry, we swear to defend the Xu Family’s safety to the death,” exclaimed another voice.
“With the reputation of the four big families of the Xu Family, I don’t believe anyone would be so blind as to trouble the Xu Family.”
“…”
The Family Heads expressed their support.
What do you think?
