I Am Born With A Silver Spoon -
Chapter 465 The Fang Family’s Crisis Part 2
Chen Hao couldn't help but look at Hu Huimin.
Originally he thought that she would change her view of him after he helped her out last time.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
"Don't talk about those useless things. Now, everybody should think of a way to escape," said Shen Junwen.
"Get in! Everybody get in!"
At this moment, another voice rang out.
Following that, the steel doors were opened.
There were more than 30 people in the group. It consisted of a mixture of young and old; men and women. All of them had a hood over their heads as they were shoved in.
When their hoods were lifted, Fang Jiannan was startled.
"Why are you guys here? Have you all been captured too?"
Fang Jiannan was shocked.
"My Lady, is that you? It seems that the ruffians from the Situ family have captured you as well," one of the elderly people couldn't help but say.
Obviously, these people were close to Fang Jiannan.
They weren't any ordinary civilians. Instead, they were the key figures of the Fang family's vassal family. There were several vassal families within the Fang family, and now nearly half of them were captured. All because they were loyal to the Fang family.
"My Lady, please make a decision quickly. I am afraid that the Situ family is up to no good and they might harm the Fang family. They are planning to revolt," said one of the elders.
"However, what choice do I have now? I never expected that they have been painstakingly preparing for this for several years," said Fang Jiannan dejectedly.
At the same moment, within the inner courtyard of the Fang family...
"Oh, it is Mr. Situ and the rest. I am sorry, but the Old Master has taken his medication and is resting now."
Situ Hong brought along a few vassal families, who were in the loop, to pay the Old Master a visit.
"This is an important matter. Could you please inform him? We will be waiting here," said Situ Hong.
The butler frowned. Obviously, Situ Hong's request was very rude. However, he had no choice but to go in and inform the Old Master.
Soon, the Fang family's Old Master came to receive them in his study.
"Hong, do you have something to tell me?" asked Fang Butong.
"It's like this, Grandfather Fang. One of our family members who was working at headquarters was admitted to the hospital due to work-related injuries. However, the compensation for the medical expenses haven't been handed out by headquarters yet," said Situ Hong.
"Huh? Then, why did you come to see me?" asked Fang Butong as he frowned.
"It was precisely because the medical expenses weren't given out in time that the worker from the Situ family passed away," said Situ Hong coldly.
On the other hand, Fang Butong noticed that something fishy was going on.
"What do you want me to do then?"
"Simple, I want you to punish the person responsible for this incident. If not, the Situ family will not just let this matter go."
"Who is the person responsible for this?"
"Fang Jiannan."
Slam!
Fang Butong slammed his hands down heavily on the table. "Hong, how dare you?! What do you think you are doing?! Did you think that you can revolt against me by bringing along these useless people?" "Haha! You are exaggerating. Our family has been loyal to the Fang family for generations. At this moment, we only want an explanation. Why don't you sign this agreement, then I won't pursue this matter further."
Situ Hong handed over an agreement.
When Fang Butong read it, his expression changed in an instant.
"Situ Hong, you really are a lunatic. Do you want to die?!"
Fang Butong's eyes were red with rage.
"Somebody get in here!" roared Fang Butong.
"Haha! Don't scream anymore, old man. The four brats who are in charge of your safety have been subdued by our men. Now, you are left with no one anymore. I hope that you can sign this agreement for your own safety, as well as the safety of your two granddaughters and your two sons. Moreover, I want you to announce this news in front of everybody," said Situ Hong with a smirk.
Fang Butong obviously knew what was going on.
However, he did not expect that the Situ family would be capable of such a thing!
"Did you guys capture Jiannan and Fang Yi?"
"Haha! I will give you 5 minutes to think about it, old man. As for the Board of Directors meeting, I believe that it won't take long for your followers to sign the agreement as well," said Situ Hong, "so don't waste your energy!"
"Fine, I can sign it if you insist. However, there is one thing that I want to be clear on. Could it be that you have become an errand boy for the Mo family?"
"The word 'errand boy' is too offensive. I merely chose to follow a smart person. In fact, you brought this situation upon yourself."
"The Mo family intended to form an alliance with you. They wanted your help to replace Chen Hao in the Southwest region. However, you actually refused them! So, I have no choice as I need the influence and power of the Fang family in the Southwest region to replace Chen Hao. As for the benefits from now onward, the Fang family's surname is hereby changed to Situ. Please don't blame me for this," said Situ Hong "Can somebody please bring the Old Master into his room to rest, and keep a close eye on him. We cannot afford a delay in the Board of Directors meeting tomorrow."
With that, Situ Hong took his men and left straightaway.
On the other hand, in the Situ family's secret room...
More and more people were abducted and brought into the room.
Most of them were the pillars of the Fang family.
"No way, something must have happened to my grandfather. We need to think of a way to escape quickly," said Fang Jiannan.
"It is vital that we unite with those who have the skills and try to break out of here," said Shen Junwen.
"Miss Jiannan, you have the best fighting skills amongst us, and it seems that you know how to use a gun. Why don't we try to force our way out? Moreover, Huimin is here as well. It's just that 3 people are not enough," said Shen Junwen.
"I know how to fight, count me in!"
"Count me in as well!"
A dozen men came forward not long after that.
Nobody was willing to obey an old lowlife like Situ Hong.
They were filled with righteous indignation.
"However, it will be dangerous as well even if we manage to escape from here. Young man, I know that you want to escape, but you are not a member of the Fang family. Don't worry, we won't put you in a difficult position. Moreover, all of us are being held here. How do you plan to fight against Situ Hong?" asked someone worriedly.
Chen Hao also made a hand gesture, indicating that they shouldn't act rashly. They should wait and observe the situation first.
"Hmph! You are all a bunch of cowards. I think you all should talk less."
Shen Junwen looked at them speechlessly.
"I am more inclined toward your suggestion, Junwen. I think we can try to force our way out. It is better than sitting here and waiting for our death!"
After Fang Jiannan thought about it for a long time, she finally nodded her head.
After all, if they were able to force their way out, then they would be able to send out a message and call for backup to fight against the Situ family.
"Ok, I observed that the inner courtyard is not tightly guarded while the reverse is true for the outside. Miss Fang, are you familiar with the terrain outside?" Fang Jiannan nodded her head. "I am familiar with it. You guys can follow behind me later. I will bring you guys along and try to break out of here."
"A-A-Ah!"
At this moment, Chen Hao finally opened his mouth.
He wanted them to bring him along.
"San, I know that you are scared. However, we might not be successful in our attempt, and it is dangerous as well," said Fang Jiannan with concern. On the other hand, Hu Huimin rolled her eyes. She was speechless.
"Now that the family is in trouble, I can't stay here any longer. Jiannan, I want to follow behind you all," said Fang Yi through gritted teeth.
Fang Jiannan looked at the rest of her clansmen. Most of them were trembling in fear as they were frightened out of their wits by the Situ family.
She looked at Fang Yi and nodded her head.
"No way, I don't agree with this. Fang Yi, San, it is really dangerous out there. If you all insist on following us, I cannot guarantee that we might not end up in trouble," said Hu Huimin.
"Let's not argue about this anymore. When night time falls, we will see the situation then," said Fang Jiannan.
However, at this moment, Chen Hao walked to a corner and brought out something that looked like a jade ornament without anybody noticing. However, it wasn't a jade ornament, because there was a button- like device on top of it. At that moment, Chen Hao pressed the button...
