“Applause.”
The words of Mrs. Chen were drowned out by the sound of clapping.
Startled, she looked up abruptly.
Si Fuqing strolled into the room.
The corners of her eyes twinkled with amusement as she clapped her hands leisurely. “You’re not entirely stupid, it seems.”
“How did you get in here?” Madam Chen shot up from her seat, furious. “Who gave you permission to enter? Get out! You think you can do anything because you’re involved with Mr. Liu?”
“It seems you haven’t grasped the reality of your situation,” Si Fuqing’s eyelashes fluttered down as she gave a soft chuckle. “Do you think the Chen family can still stand on its own?”
wretch?”
The head of the Chen family furrowed his brow, struck with sudden horror. “It’s you?!”
The Chen family had already been weakened after losing a contract with the Yu family, but that hadn’t struck at their core.
What truly distressed the head of the Chen family was the disruption of their fundamental business operations.
Whether it was sudden glitches or disappearing data, bizarre events kept occurring.
Despite hiring programmers to investigate, they couldn’t pinpoint the issue.
The programmers surmised it could either be a computer malfunction or an attack by an extraordinarily skilled hacker.
The head of the Chen family had been unable to figure out who was targeting them.
Could this supposed hacker be a child adopted by the Zuo family?
It was ludicrous to even think about it.
“I was just having a little fun with you,” Si Fuqing said nonchalantly, gripping Mrs. Chen’s collar and smiling faintly. “My problem isn’t with you; it’s that you involved others.”
Madam Chen’s legs began to tremble, her throat dry. “Honey… honey, save me!” The head of the Chen family was still in a state of shock.
At that moment, the sound of disciplined footsteps resonated. Another group of guards entered through the iron door.
Si Fuqing glanced at them, her eyes narrowing slightly.
All these guards were dressed casually but had a distinct emblem on their right cuffs: the word “Thousand”.
Thousand Army Alliance.
Once the leading faction among the Four Great Alliances under Emperor Yin!
The Thousand Army Alliance was an overt force loyal to each reigning emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
But loyalty only extended to competent rulers.
In the case of a tyrant, the head of the Thousand Army Alliance possessed an imperial sword, a gift from the emperor, capable of executing the ruler and installing a new one.
The Thousand Army Alliance still existed, even now. However, their whereabouts remained elusive, and they didn’t have a fixed headquarters. It was a place most people simply couldn’t find.
Why had they suddenly appeared here?
Si Fuqing’s eyes darkened slightly, her fingers tightening.
She had never crossed paths with the Thousand Army Alliance and was unfamiliar with their real capabilities.
But as the leading force among the Four Great Alliances, they were undoubtedly more formidable than the Miracle Doctor Alliance, which her second senior had mentioned a few times.
In this complex world, where the Three Families and Four Alliances ensured the prosperity and stability of Great Xia, the Thousand Army Alliance represented unparalleled military power.
Mrs. Chen’s eyes lit up. She struggled a bit and waved her hand feebly. “Little Jiang, over here! Get these people out!”
Although Mu Qingmeng had no real emotional connection to her, they were still sisters. It seemed Mu Qingmeng would come to her aid at a critical moment.
From then on, she no longer held grudges or engaged in petty calculations.
A young man heard her and lifted his head, scanning the crowd. He located his target with pinpoint accuracy, took two steps forward, and arrived in front of Si Fuqing.
With a slight bow and a smile, he said, “Miss Si, hello, I am Jiang Shuihan..”
