As Xu Mian was taken away, his heart was filled with sadness.

But he knew that there was no talking Yin Lei out of his plan, he didn’t regret his decision to not be a part of the mission.

He had no idea that his persistence with this would save his life.

Nightfall, inside the Quan family home.

After everyone had dinner, Wan Kaiyi walked into the kitchen, “Duke, Emperor Yin is here.”

Quan Zexi subconsciously frowned, “What’s he doing here?!”

‘Wan Kaiyi said, “The Emperor says he wishes to discuss the division of the Xia guards with you.”

Qiao Qing pulled on Quan Zexi’s sleeve, “I’m sure he’s been made aware of the meeting you called. For him to visit at this time, it’s more likely that he wants to cause you harm. Be careful.”

Quan Zexi patted her little head, “I’ve dealt with him for way longer than you have. I know exactly what kind of person he is. Qingqing, go upstairs and wait.”

Qiao Qing said, “T’ll be fine. Mom, go upstairs.”

Quan Zexi paused, then said to He Wanging, “Did you not hear your daughter? Why aren’t you moving, go upstairs and wait!”

He Wanging,

She knew she was no help here anyway so she went as told.

‘Mu Jinghang said, “There’s no way this guy is dumb enough to come here to kill you all?”

Quan Zexi shook his head, “I can’t be sure. This man is obsessed with power. He’s now highly emotional and irrational. You don’t know what he’d do.”

Mu Jinghang, “Then just don’t let him in.”

“Ican hide for the short-term but that’s not a long-term solution. Plus, that would make it seem like I’m scared of him.” Quan Zexi said,

‘s good that he’s here. If he makes an aggressive move, I’ll make sure he gets it in return.”

He then looked over to Jun Yexuan, “If you don’t want your grandpa dead, you can go and give him a heads up and tell him not to act stupid.”

Jun Yexuan shook his head, “He’s not my grandpa anymore. His life or death doesn’t concern me.”

Quan Zexi smiled and asked Wan Kaiyi to invite the man in.

‘Wan Kaiyi, “Yes, sir.”

Before long, Yin Lei came in with Di Lie and a group of his royal guards.

Quan Zexi grinned and greeted, “How fancy for you to visit. What can I do for you?”

Yin Lei played along, “Didn’t your butler tell you? I’m here to discuss how you’d like to divide up the army the Xia family has.”

Quan Zexi, “Where do you want to discuss? Here or the study?”

“It’s inconvenient here.” Yin Lei said, “Let’s talk in your study.”

“Might as well.” Quan Zexi nodded and turned to lead the way.

At that very moment, Yin Lei grabbed hold of the gun he hid in his sleeve and pointed it at Quan Zexi’s back.

Beside him, Di Lie raised his gun and pointed it at Qiao Qing.

Everything happened very quickly. As if Quan Zexi’s back had eyes, he managed to dodge the bullet. Then, he spun around and revealed that he also had a gun in his hand. He pulled the trigger at Yin Lei without hesitation.

Qiao Qing on the other hand, had overtaken Di Lei’s gun and shot his head.

Yin Lei noticed that his assassination plan had failed. Freaked out, he grabbed one of his guards over to shield the bullet. Then, he screamed, “Protect me!”

His royal guards instantly formed a wall between himself and Quan Zexi.

At the same time, 12 shadow-like figures surrounded Yin Lei.

Now protected, Yin Lei rediscovered his voice and confidence, “Kill them all! Kill Quan Zexi and that girl first!”

The 12 specially trained guards started to shoot towards Quan Zexi..
