392 Zhuang Family in Big Trouble

The most luxurious cluster of mansions in Jiangnan Province was in Qingshui Wharf's residential area. Mansion Number One was in Qingshui Wharf. This was the Zhuang Family Pharmaceutical Group's, Zhuang Tiande's mansion.

It was said that at Zhuang Tiande's Mansion Number One, there was a horse-racing ground. Solely based on that, one could imagine how large the mansion was.

The mansion resided at the edge of the western part of Qingshui Wharf's residential area. Built close to the mountains, it was obviously facing the southern ocean. As long as the residents walked out from the mansion's courtyard and walked up toward the mountains, they would be able to see a luxurious view of eastern Qingshui Wharf.

This place was about 8km away from Ling Yun's Mansion Number Nine.

The entire residence covered an area of over twenty thousand square meters. Inside, there were two mansions. The large mansion was luxurious and expensive, while the slightly smaller mansion was intricate and elegant. The two mansions were at least thirty meters apart.

Right now, there were still security guards at the entrance of the mansion. Because Zhuang Tiande and his family were in Sun Tianbiao's hands, other than guarding the door, these security guards had no other use.

It was the middle of the night, but both mansions remained brightly lit. On the lawn of the smaller mansion, there were four regular, young experts pacing back and forth. Occasionally, they looked into the small mansion.

In the living room of the small mansion, an Orion television costing twenty-eight thousand dollars was switched on. It was currently broadcasting a boring television show.

Zhuang Tiande's family of three were sitting on the luxurious, real leather sofa in the living room of the mansion. The three of them seemed to be watching television, but the expressions on their faces differed vastly.

Zhuang Tiande's clear features and round face revealed a trace of anxiety and soullessness, but even more so than that, he seemed emotional and unhappy.

Zhuang Meifeng's mother, Zhao Bomin's eyes, were empty and her gaze was hollow. Occasionally, she revealed a trace of fear and anxiety on her face. At other times, she seemed worried about her oldest daughter.

Zhuang Meina was wearing a breezy one-piece overall dress as she accompanied her mother on the sofa. Clutching onto the remote control, she changed the channel continuously. The prideful and all-encompassing gaze was gone from her eyes. Her face revealed jealousy, envy, irritation, rage, and condescension. It seemed as though she was tolerating her rage, and it was an immense rage.

Finally, she couldn't help but explode, and her target was her father, Zhuang Tiande. "On what basis? Why is it my sister again? She's prettier than me, taller than me, and smarter than me. I'll acknowledge all of that. But why did that old priestess choose my sister and not me?"

Zhuang Meina spoke with a very low voice at first, but she couldn't hide her conceited personality. Her voice inevitably became louder, her volume increasing to what was nearly a shout.

"Keep your voice down, don't let the people outside hear you!" Zhuang Tiande was so uneasy that he couldn't help but tap his thigh anxiously. Turning to look outside the living room, he lowered his voice as he spoke to Zhuang Meina.

Zhuang Meina looked out of the windows as she rolled her eyes and mocked, "Why are we so afraid of them? Didn't that old priestess, Mie Yu, already say that Tranquil Sect would protect our family in the future and that even Sun Tianbiao wouldn't be able to do anything about it?"

"Aiyo, Nana, stop giving our house trouble right now. Do you really think that the Sun Family can be provoked just like that?" Zhao Bomin watched her husband as his teeth began to chatter from anxiety. She couldn't help but come to her senses as she quietly chastised her youngest daughter.

But once she thought about how her oldest daughter, Zhuang Meifeng, was captured and how she knew nothing about her whereabouts, her gaze unintentionally darkened as she sighed in despair.

"Hmph, no matter what, it's because my sister is superior and I'm inferior. Priestess Desireless is nothing special either, she also had parents, on what basis am I inferior?"

The more she talked, the angrier Zhuang Meina got. Even though she was angry, she was still afraid of the experts from the Sun Family standing outside. Slowly, she lowered her voice again.

Zhuang Tiande panicked even more as he said, "Alright, that's enough. Didn't Priestess Desireless say this before? Your sister's body has been through some cleansing spell, she's already… a completely new person. And her personality and heart are suitable for cultivating abilities at the Tranquil Sect, that's why they took her back…"

Zhuang Meina hadn't gone to school for classes at all the entire week. Naturally, everything that Zhuang Tiande had said was something that she had seen for herself. However, she was still dissatisfied. With a scoff, she interjected her father and said, "Hmph, what cleansing spell, what completely new person, do you think this is a fantasy movie? I bet it's just because their Tranquil Sect didn't have enough people, and seeing that older sis was pretty, they decided to take her back!"

"Everything is because of my older sister. But at the end of it, she's the one getting the most out of it. In the end, I can't even go to school for an entire week. Where's the justice in this?"

Zhao Bomin patted Zhuang Meina's elbow lightly as she furrowed her brow and said, "That's enough Nana, don't say anymore. Do you think your sister wanted to go too? Just think about her pained expression when she had to swallow that pill. If I could have taken her place, I would have gone on her behalf…"

Zhuang Tiande said anxiously in a low voice, "That's right, Nana. What's more, why don't you think about what kind of place the Tranquil Sect is? Just by listening to the name, you would know that it's obviously a place where one removes all of their worldly desires, has vegetarian meals, and recites scriptures. With your personality, how could you possibly tolerate staying there? Can you stand not watching television, listening to music, or eating meat? Can you forget about Xie Family's Xie Junyan?"

"I…" Hearing that she couldn't watch television, listen to music, or have meat, Zhuang Meina wasn't able to say another word; she knew that she definitely couldn't do it. But hearing Zhuang Tiande mention Xie Junyan's name, the rage in her heart soared again!

Zhuang Meina angrily tossed the remote control in her hand onto the coffee table as she clenched her teeth, stomped her feet, and said, "In the future, don't talk to me about Xie Junyan. I haven't even gone to school for an entire week. I can't call, can't use the internet, and he hasn't visited me at all. How dare he!"

"Anyway, in our school, so many other people are better than Xie Junyan! He isn't even qualified to carry Ling Yun's shoes!"

Hearing the name, 'Ling Yun', Zhuang Tiande's facial expression changed. His gaze revealed fear, and he was about to jump up from the sofa to cover Zhuang Meina's mouth!

Last Friday night, Ling Yun borrowed the spiritual energy from the Emperor Brush. In an instant, his abilities shot up to Level Nine. Once he finished his matters at the Zhuang Family's, he used Mystical Dragon Howl to wipe many people's memories that night.

On that night, Zhuang Tiande's family of three had their memory completely wiped. It was so thorough that there was nothing else they could remember of that night!

After everyone left the Zhuang Family, Zhuang Tiande and the three others slowly had their consciousness begin to return. Afterwards, they realized that the vicious Niu Fenjiao and all of the Sun Family had disappeared.

They had disappeared into thin air!

Zhuang Tiande and his entire family were obviously confused. After searching the house for a long time, they got a huge shock!

Even though Ling Yun was able to wipe all of their memories and use his Level Eight Fire Talismans to burn all of the corpses to a crisp, he was unable to repair the scenes of carnage left behind in the mansion.

For instance, the injured security guards at the Zhuang Family's entrance. For instance, the huge hole created by Daoist Priest Liu Deming before he died. For instance, the countless streaks of blood on the floor…

Zhuang Tiande wasn't dumb. He knew that something huge happened inside his house. His first reaction was to call Niu Fenjiao. However, she had already disappeared into ashes by then. Naturally, he could not contact her.

While Zhuang Tiande was still filled with complete fear and despair, he went to question those injured security guards. He found out that they couldn't remember a single thing about what happened that night. They couldn't even remember why they were injured.

Zhuang Tiande was a renowned, successful merchant in the area. Being meticulous and detailed was drilled into his bones. He dared not contact the Sun Family or report to the Public Security Bureau. Once he discussed the matter with his wife and daughter, he decided to wait.

Because other than to wait, there was nothing else they could do, nothing that they dared to do.

In the early morning of the second day, without waiting for the Public Security Bureau to get to work, Zhuang Tiande ordered a person to send that "mysterious" Land Rover to the Public Security Bureau.

Within the three persons' memories, Zhuang Meifeng was still missing. They couldn't contact her at all. Before this, she hadn't been captured before, and the entire memory they had of that night had been completely wiped.

While they were waiting, three entire days had passed, and Niu Fenjiao remained uncontactable. The Sun Family didn't make any moves, and there was no news from the Public Security Bureau either.

Everything was peaceful. Subconsciously, Zhuan Tiande thought that perhaps matters weren't as serious as he had thought. Perhaps Niu Fenjiao wasn't able to capture his daughter, and in a fit of anger, she turned off her cellphone and brought her men back to the city. Perhaps she had single-handedly ended their relationship.

Zhuang Tiande knew that his plan to have his medical group enter the northern market had failed. He felt a heart-wrenching pain over that, but he was secretly happy too because it meant that everything was still fine.

But Zhuang Tiande wasn't happy for long. On that Tuesday, the Sun Family's Sun Tianbiao brought his men to Qingshui City on his private jet. Without hesitation, he came to the Zhuang Family looking for people.

He wanted to know Niu Fenjiao and Sun Xing's whereabouts and where the people that Niu Fenjiao had brought from the Sun Family were. He wanted to know where Ling Yun was, and he continuously asked what happened on the night Niu Fenjiao called him for assistance!

All of it was because of Tang Tianhao's call to Sun Tianbiao, where it happened before he lost contact with Niu Fenjiao, and Tang Tianhao couldn't get Sun Xing in his hands.

In plain words, Zhuang Tiande was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot! Even if Sun Tianbiao asked him this, who could he have asked?

At that moment, Zhuang Tiande understood the gravity of what had happened that night. He was thoroughly scared out of his wits because there was nothing he could tell him.

In a fit of anger, Sun Tianbiao captured Zhuang Tiande's family of three. Other than letting them eat, he completely sealed off their communication with the outside world.

Sun Tianbiao swore that if he couldn't find Niu Fenjiao and Sun Xing's whereabouts, he would make sure that lots of people in Qingshui City would pay tribute to them with their deaths, and the first one to die would be Zhuang Tiande and his family!

Zhuang Tiande knew that this time, because of his callous decision, he had brought the Zhuang Family huge trouble!

He was about to fall into a death trap!

Sun Tianbiao's movements were very fast. Almost instantaneously, he got a grasp of Qingshui City's government's situation. As the investigation progressed, a single name began to surface!

Ling Yun!

All of the investigation results and all of the clues pointed them to Ling Yun!

This was the name that Zhuang Tiande had heard the most after the Sun Family had put his family on house-arrest. It was the name he heard so often that he was left frazzled!

And, on that night, Zhuang Tiande's oldest daughter, Qingshui City's beauty, Zhuang Meifeng, had returned to the Zhuang Family on her own.
