Chapter 63: The Curtain Falls on the Three Great Families
you handle the enrollment procedures for my child" The man continued to roar."Just... just consider this a plea from me. You... all of you, why don't you transfer to a different school" The woman spo..."As for who specifically, I have no idea..." Zhao Yuehua shook his head.
"I only know that the other party is a woman, and she always wears a veil when she meets us."
"I could feel she must have been a very beautiful woman. The way she moved, every gesture, could stir up the desires of most men."
"Is that all" Ling Hao said in a deep voice. "If this is all the information you have, it's not enough to exchange for so many lives from your Zhao family!"
“I...I haven't finished.” Zhao Yuehua paused slightly before continuing, “By chance, I saw a tattoo on her lower back.”
"What pattern" Ling Hao asked.
"It's...it's a blood-red peony!" Zhao Yuehua responded.
"What's their purpose" Ling Hao frowned again.
"She... she didn't say anything, just told us to go ahead and do it, that she would send people to help us." Zhao Yuehua shook his head slightly.
And repeatedly emphasized that the Zheng family must be exterminated, without a single survivor!
Actually, if it weren't for her, I...we wouldn't have gone so overboard. Our target was only the head of the Zheng family and the powerful person beside him.
As long as the two of them are dead, the Zheng family will pose no threat to us. The others aren't even worth our attention...
Whew!
A chill emanated from Ling Hao, his eyes hardening into sharp points.
The entire population of over 100 households in the Zheng family was slaughtered. What kind of person would commit such a brutal massacre!
“I... I only know this much. Please leave a trace of the Zhao family incense burning.” Zhao Yuehua spoke in a trembling voice.
"Before 8 am tomorrow, bring all of your Zhao family's direct blood relatives to Zheng family patriarch's tomb and kowtow!" Ling Hao's words rang out again.
"You three brothers committed suicide at the grave, apologizing to your ancestors. The rest of the Zhao family knelt for three days and three nights. I spared them!"
You can also choose to escape tonight, but the consequence is that as long as one blood relative of the Zhao family doesn't show up tomorrow morning, everyone else will die!
"Thank you... thank you..." Zhao Yuehua collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face.
"The rest is up to you!" Ling Hao then looked at the judge.
"Tell everyone present that for today's incident, we will maintain a unified statement to the outside world. Don't mention my identity; just say it was handled by Shadow Gate. No further inquiries from outsiders!"
Whoever leaks information will be executed!
"Received!" the judge nodded vigorously.
A few minutes later, Ling Hao and Lu Yue got into the car.
"Investigate!" Ling Hao spoke in a low voice. "Immediately arrange for someone to investigate who that woman Zhao Yuehua mentioned is!"
"Understood!" Lu Yue nodded in response.
Meanwhile.
Two other influential families in Dongzhou, the Tao family and the Wang family, were also going through the same situation.
Two other groups of young men from the Shadow Clan went to these two places, and both families initially put up a fierce resistance.
However, in the face of hundreds of dashing young men, their resistance seemed so pale.
In less than three minutes, all the able-bodied members of both families were either dead or severely injured!
Finally, Yingmen'erlang left with the same three sentences and turned to leave.
To this point, the three top families of Dongzhou have officially become a part of Dongzhou's history.
Three great families' people, until their death never figured out one problem.
Why would the haughty Ling Shu come to avenge the Zheng family What is his relationship with them after all!
For this issue, they can only go ask Liu Jiayao!
……
The next morning, news that the three major families had been overthrown overnight spread through Dongzhou like a virus.
No one believed it when they first heard the news!
What are you kidding me!
The Three Families have been operating in Dongzhou for a hundred years, wielding immense influence both in the legitimate and criminal worlds. Moreover, the Three Families possess formidable combat capabilities themselves!
I ask, in this eastern land, who has the strength and power to overthrow the three great clans in a single night
Even if it were the most influential figure in Dongzhou today, Chairman Shen Yue of the Sihai Group, it would probably be difficult to achieve this!
Subsequently, someone uploaded the real-life images of the three aristocratic families' mansions this morning onto the internet. After seeing the mess on the ground and the deserted courtyard, everyone believed the rumor.
The fall of the three great families happened overnight, it's actually true!!!
Next, everyone's curiosity shifted to another topic.
What on earth happened Who did this!
Thus, the Eight Immortals each displayed their supernatural powers as they crossed the sea, and all parties used their own channels to inquire about relevant information.
Finally, all the information gathered from various channels was surprisingly consistent.
The Shadow Gate case is under investigation, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to inquire. This matter has been classified as top secret and is not to be discussed. Anyone attempting to pry into the secrets of the Shadow Gate will be deemed as seeking to uncover confidential information and dealt with accordingly!
After receiving this reply, most people quickly put away their curiosity. The solemnity of the Shadow Gate is not something that ordinary people dare to challenge!
Of course, many others are also asking around privately, especially people from other prominent families in Dongzhou.
After much investigation, they all came up with a hypothesis.
Five years ago, the three major families joined forces to exterminate the Zheng family. Now, someone from the Shadow Gate has come forward to avenge the Zheng family!
10:00 AM
Dongzhou's underworld king, Yuan Xiong, sat at his desk in his office, a cigar between his lips, deep in thought.
The three great families of Dongzhou were overthrown overnight. Such a major event was enough to make him contemplate.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In a moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Hou Ying strode in quickly.
"How is it going Any results" Yuan Xiong looked at Hou Ying and asked.
"As for what the Eighth Master said, I've confirmed it. It was indeed done by Young Master Ling!" Hou Ying spoke with a serious tone.
"As expected!" Yuan Xiong nodded.
Only Ling Shao could possess such strength, eliminating the three major families from Dongzhou overnight!
After taking a puff of his cigar, he continued.
"Ling Shao not only brought down three influential families, but he also didn't spare Liu Jiayao. Coupled with the Li family incident, all of this couldn't be a coincidence!"
"It seems that Ling Shao's relationship with the Zheng family must be extraordinary!"
"Master Eight, I've gone over the Zheng family records from that year." Hou Ying paused briefly before continuing.
"Young Ling, you look at least six or seven points like Zheng Jia's adopted son from back then!"
"Oh Really" Yuan Xiong raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm!" Houying nodded.
"It seems that way, there shouldn't be any lies. Young Ling was probably saved by someone back then and is now back for revenge!" Yuan Xiong exhaled a plume of smoke.
After that, a thoughtful expression: "Five years ago, what happened that would cause the three major families to go so hard on the Zheng family!"
"It's a pity that I wasn't in this position back then, otherwise, perhaps I could have learned something!"
“It’s said that the Zheng family’s suppression of the three big families was too severe, causing resentment among them.” Hou Ying replied.
"It shouldn't be this simple!" Yuan Xiong shook his head slightly.
If it were only because of the intense pressure, the three major families shouldn't have exterminated the Zheng family!nk of an eye, a large amount of dark red blood surged from his mouth."Hmm!" Ling Hao furrowed his brows, quickly rushed to Hu Minghao's side, and simultaneously pulled out three silver needles from hi...
