The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign

Chapter 611: Chapter 588: Countdown! _2

Although he didn’t say it aloud, Chang Yuanyi knew his father was no ordinary man.

"What!" Over the phone, Chang Haisheng shot up from the sofa, his pupils filled with sheer terror. His voice trembling, he asked, "What’s the situation now?"

"By the grace of our Chang family ancestors! Qin Fan arrived at the final moment. Five people are already dead over this! But that wasn’t enough to quell his wrath. Just now, he ordered me to announce to the world that tonight, at midnight, he will slaughter the Bo Family! Anyone who runs will have their three closest kin executed; anyone who flees will have their entire clan exterminated! There are only about two hours until midnight! Tonight, calamity has come to Jinling!"

Recalling Qin Fan’s ruthless declaration, Chang Yuanyi couldn’t help but swallow nervously. The shock left him unable to even imagine what Jinling would look like by sunrise.

This was different from the Du Family. It was also different from the Qiao Family of the garrison area. The nature of the Bo Family was far too sensitive.

"Did... did he really say that?" Although he knew Chang Yuanyi wouldn’t joke about such a thing, Chang Haisheng still stammered the question instinctively.

"Dad, there isn’t much time!" Chang Yuanyi said with grave solemnity.

"I’ll contact the higher-ups immediately!" Chang Haisheng replied quickly before hurriedly hanging up.

Even though it was no secret that the Bo and Chang families were at odds, this matter concerned the entire power structure of Jinling. Chang Haisheng had to set aside their feud. At that moment, he felt no schadenfreude, only alarm. An alarm for the Jinling under his jurisdiction!

As Qin Fan stepped out of the cinema carrying Jiang Yino, the torrential downpour from a moment ago abruptly and eerily stopped. Stepping into the gurgling puddles, Qin Fan looked up at the pitch-black, starless night sky. A chilling smile slowly spread across his lips.

He paused his steps, looked up at the night sky, and murmured to himself, "My sins need no cleansing from you! In this world, wherever I stand is my domain, and my domain abides by my law! Those who court death shall be executed!"

Then, carrying the still-sleeping Jiang Yino, he vanished at a ghostly speed, too fast for the naked eye to follow.

However, as the sudden downpour ceased, the entire upper circle of Jinling was thrown into utter chaos. The news that the Bo Family would be slaughtered at midnight swept through Jinling like a hurricane. Calls flooded in, incessantly dialing Bao Qiudong and his father, Bo Xianmin.

「The Bo Residence」

Amidst the incessant calls, Bo Xianmin’s face had already turned ashen. His entire body trembled violently under the horrified gaze of his frantic wife. At this moment, the expression on his face was one of not just fear, but utter despair.

Seeing Bo Xianmin hang up yet another call, his wife grabbed his hand and shrieked, her voice trembling, "Xianmin, what’s happened? You’re scaring me!"

"The Bo Family... is finished!" he said, the uncontrollable trembling continuing.

Just as he uttered those words, his phone rang again. He had intended to ignore it, but his eyes widened when he saw the caller ID, and he hurriedly answered. Without waiting for the other person to speak, he pleaded, "Old Leader, you must save the Bo Family!"

"Xianmin, I shouldn’t be making this call," a mournful voice said over the phone. "But given our relationship, I have to ask: what on earth happened? What could possibly have happened for things to escalate to this degree?"

"I don’t know! I really don’t know anything! Old Leader, you can’t just let that scoundrel trample all over the law, can you?" Bo Xianmin’s words became incoherent.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know about Qin Fan. On the contrary, he’d had stacks of dossiers on the man placed on his desk before. It was safe to say he had memorized every detail of Qin Fan’s public activities over the years. The Qin Fan of the past was not to be feared; he wasn’t even worth a second glance. But a few months ago, a subversive change began. From Qin Fan’s actions during his later time at Qi Middle School to the truth behind the extermination of both the Du and Qiao families, Bo Xianmin knew everything there was to know.

And now, such a monstrous existence was targeting his Bo Family? Hadn’t the feud with Qiudong been resolved? How could things have possibly escalated to this point?

He considered himself an expert on Qin Fan, knowing full well that the man had the power to back up his words—the fate of the Qiao Family was a vivid reminder. Moreover, for a former outcast to commit such heretical acts and still live so freely... Bo Xianmin couldn’t possibly fail to understand the implications. Faced with the question from the other end of the line, his mind went completely blank, and all he could do was tremble incoherently.

"You don’t know? Chang Haisheng said that Bao Qiudong had someone kidnap Qin Fan’s girlfriend and Chang Yuanyi! That he was trying to retaliate with underhanded methods! You’re telling me you still don’t know about this?" the voice on the other end exclaimed in astonishment.

"What?" Bo Xianmin went rigid, exclaiming in disbelief.

"If that’s really what happened, Xianmin... I’m afraid no one can stop him." The voice on the other end paused before concluding in a low, sorrowful tone.

But by now, Bo Xianmin could no longer process the words. His mind was completely consumed by the terrifying implications of what he had just heard.

How could Qiudong have possibly kidnapped Chang Yuanyi and Qin Fan’s girlfriend? Where did he get the nerve? How could he dare?
