Just like that, the few of them formulated a battle plan. Zhao Yan also noticed that something was wrong with the mountain village. He then sent someone to visit Tan Nian to ensure his safety.
However, because they were afraid of being discovered by the Zou family, they had been loitering around the periphery.
Until today, they couldn’t even enter the periphery. When the Zhao family’s secret guards saw the people all over the mountain, they were so frightened that they hurriedly reported to Zhao Yan.
“Young Master, many Zou family’s secret guards have appeared in the mountains. Even the Jiang family has come. We can’t enter at all now.”
When Zhao Yan heard this, he realized that something was wrong. “Why are the Jiang family here? Are they here to protect Jiang An?”
“It shouldn’t be to protect Miss Jiang. The three young masters of the Jiang family are all here,” the secret guard replied.
For a moment, Zhao Yan did not know what these people were doing. With so many people gathered in the village, something big must have happened.
After all, the three brothers of the Jiang family were not idle people. They each had their own careers to busy themselves with, especially the eldest and second sons of the Jiang family. They were definitely people who might not even attend the family gathering at the end of the year. This time, they actually appeared in unison.
Zhao Yan could not imagine how serious this matter was.
He closed his eyes and thought carefully. In the end, he made a bold guess. This matter must be related to Jiang An or the two children. Only they could affect the hearts of so many people.
This was a great opportunity. No matter who it was, Zou Bai would be worried.
Zhao Yan hurriedly stood up and went upstairs. He knocked on the door and said, “Mom, I have something to see you about.”
After waiting for a long time, he finally heard Luo Xuan’s voice. “Come in.”
She had never been kind to Zhao Yan. She only felt that her son was disappointing. Otherwise, her husband would have come home long ago.
Zhao Yan was also used to her att.i.tude. He maintained his smile and said, “Mom, I want to borrow the Luo family’s secret guards from you.”
“Aren’t the Zhao Family’s secret guards enough?” Luo Xuan looked at her disdainfully. “Why do you need to borrow the secret guards?”
Of course, the Zhao family did not lack secret guards, but their abilities were too ordinary. They could not compare to the methods of the Luo family’s secret guards.
Luo Xuan was able to remain in her position as the Madam of the Zhao Family even after going crazy for so many years because of the guards that her family had given her.
The secret guards of the Luo family were all carefully chosen to pa.s.s down their bloodlines. Some were good at identifying locations by sound. Some powerful ones could even hear what people said from 50 meters away and learn secrets that many people did not know.
It was precisely because Luo Xuan knew these secrets that no one dared to provoke the Zhao Family no matter what they did. They were afraid that she would expose their secret.
“Your son knows some things about Zou Bai. He might be able to deal a blow to him. With your help, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort,” Zhao Yan said honestly.
Hearing this, Luo Xuan’s interest was piqued. She walked over and said, “Tell me about it.”
Zhao Yan did not dare to hide anything from her and told Luo Xuan everything.
After listening, Luo Xuan nodded and said, “Interesting. If that’s the case, I can lend you the guards. However, if you can’t deal a blow to Zou Bai, it means that you’re completely useless. I don’t have to spend any more effort on you in the future.”
These words did not give Zhao Yan any face at all. It could be seen that she did not have much love for her son.
Zhao Yan lowered his head and said, “I understand.”
He had long pa.s.sed the time when he needed motherly love. He also understood that no matter how hard he worked, his mother would not look at him again. When she was extremely disappointed, she would not ask for anything.
The Luo family’s secret guards rushed to the mountain village as quickly as possible. At this moment, Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi were on their way to the outskirts of Sea City.
The two of them walked towards the warehouse on their short legs. That was where Si Cheng and the others were preparing to lock up the siblings.
“Brother, if we go over like this, will we be caught immediately?” Jiang Yu asked.
Jiang Yi held her hand. “No, as long as we follow the plan, we won’t be caught.”
“So what’s our plan?” Jiang Yu asked.
Jiang Yi said firmly, “I don’t have a plan.”
Jiang Yu opened her mouth wide, not knowing what expression to show. She had clearly chosen to follow her brother because she trusted him, but the other party’s words were really unreliable.
Seeing that the warehouse was right in front of her, Jiang Yu sighed.
Under Jiang Yu’s incredulous gaze, Jiang Yi took out a miniature bomb.
“You don’t have to worry. We will win,” Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Jiang Yu remembered that her father had given her brother many such models, but her intuition told her that the one in her brother’s hand was not a model..
