As a large number of armed forces entered, Director Guo of the Security Bureau strode in with his big belly leading the way.

Having not appeared for some time, Director Guo looked even more rotund, with a rosy glow on his face.

The position of Director of Security Bureau is quite lucrative; during the Empire's turbulent times, he could even decide one's life and death with a single word.

Recently, he hasn't missed a chance to arrest and release people repeatedly...

Guo Nu glanced around, his gaze landing on Sheng Xinhua. This woman was truly becoming more and more beautiful, like a ripe fruit or a blooming flower.

Previously, he thought this woman came from a distinguished family, her status unattainable for him.

But now, Sheng Jing had lost the position of Finance Minister, and the Sheng Family might be uprooted entirely.

As a wandering financial tycoon heiress, isn't she just waiting to be picked?

And as the Director of the Security Bureau, he was entirely capable of providing her a sense of security.

Thinking about this, even his smile carried a hint of lasciviousness...

Raiding homes is good, exterminating families is better.

Why did the gentlemen of ancient times prefer the brothels? It was only there they had the chance to meet the ladies previously sheltered in deep courtyards.

Of course, deep down, they were still lustful.

"Finance Minister, we meet again." Guo Nu chuckled as he greeted Sheng Jing.

If Bai Xingjian insisted on calling Sheng Jing 'Finance Minister' with respect, then Guo Nu's 'Finance Minister' was nothing but sarcasm.

A petty person's success reveals their true nature.

In Guo Nu's view, Sheng Jing was no longer to be feared.

Previously, the Security Bureau merely kept a watchful eye on them, maintaining some semblance of civility.

Bai Xingjian's arrival proves the Military Minister has completely given up on Sheng Jing, preparing to take the entire family to Qi Mountain for detention.

What kind of place is Qi Mountain?

Once there, could anyone return? No way.

"We aren't familiar." Sheng Jing said coldly.

He always looked down on this Director of Security Bureau, believing such a person holding high rank was detrimental to both the nation and the citizens.

"Haha, I'm indeed not familiar with Finance Minister, but I'm quite acquainted with your wife and daughter. Last time at the airport, it was Lao Guo who brought them back."

Guo Nu noticed the undisguised disdain in Sheng Jing's eyes, feeling deeply resentful.

What is there for an old disgrace like you to be proud of? Soon enough you'll be living in a cowshed or stone cave, do you know that?

I initiated the greeting because I think highly of... your daughter.

When you become a prisoner, even if you kneel and beg, you might not get a chance to see me.

Truly ungrateful.

Upon hearing the implied insult from Guo Nu, Sheng Jing's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Despicable creature, how dare he humiliate his wife and daughter?

Sheng Xinhua, with a fiery temper, would certainly not tolerate Guo Nu.

She picked up the teapot on the table and hurled it toward Guo Nu's face.

The guard beside him reacted in time, punching the teapot.

Crack!

The teapot shattered.

Water splashed everywhere.

And it was newly boiled water for tea.

"Ah..."

Guo Nu clutched his face in pain.

The boiling water splashed all over his face, causing a burning sensation.

By the time he lowered his hand, that chubby face had become... even puffier.

Red and swollen, looking very disheveled.

"Damn it!"

He slapped the guard beside him across the face.

If it weren't for this idiot, how could he have lost face like this publicly?

Especially in front of Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Jing, losing face made him angrier.

"..." Guard.

I protected you... incorrectly?

If it weren't for my punch shattering that teapot, it would've hit your head with a bloody wound?

Thinking is one thing, saying is another.

After venting his anger on the guard, Guo Nu's triangular eyes maliciously fixed on Sheng Xinhua, he harshly said: "You filthy bitch, one day I'll have you crying and begging at my feet."

Sheng Xinhua stayed silent, turning to search for a kettle.

Clatter...

A group of Security Bureau agents blocked Guo Nu with their bodies.

Someone raised a gun threateningly, saying don't move again, or we'll shoot.

Sheng Xinhua ignored their threats, swinging the kettle at them.

Shen Wuxiang merely instructed them to 'invite' people, not to shoot.

Without Shen Wuxiang's order, who would dare shoot?

If a shooting order had been given, Bai Xingjian wouldn't have needed to waste his efforts coming.

Bam!

The kettle was shot and exploded, water splashing everywhere.

"Enough."

Bai Xingjian interjected angrily.

He was the chief here, making them continue the ruckus was unsightly.

Bai Xingjian looked at Sheng Jing, saying: "Finance Minister, please proceed."

"I said I won't leave. You better choose another method."

Bai Xingjian didn't bother with more words, shouting, "Take action."

Crash!

The courtyard gate was forcefully slammed open.

"I'd like to see who dares touch my family."

Wine-obsessed Sheng Kuang strode in.

Holding a wine gourd in his left hand, and supporting...

An Armor Piercing Bullet in his right hand.

Once this thing explodes, the entire small courtyard would be flattened.

Even wearing armor would be useless...

Haven't you heard its name?

Its main function is to pierce armor.

Two Security Bureau agents tried to intercept him, he kicked them flying.

Bai Xingjian's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Sheng Kuang and asked: "What does this mean?"

He knew Sheng Kuang and knew this man was deeply formidable.

Three Sabers, Three Swords, Three Obsessed, none of them simpletons.

"What do you think it means?" Sheng Kuang fiercely stared at Guo Nu and Bai Xingjian, shouting: "This is a ridiculous joke... you come to the Sheng Family to seize people, then ask what I mean?"

"Sheng Kuang, you should know this is the Military Minister's order. He only wants to invite the Finance Minister to Qi Mountain to stay a few days, if you interfere... anger the Military Minister, the entire Sheng Family could suffer."

"We've reached this point, what else do we fear?" Sheng Kuang held the Armor Piercing Bullet, walking boldly up to Bai Xingjian, threatening: "Our Sheng Family is right here... you want to forcibly take my big brother away, then I'll detonate the bomb. No one here will survive."

"..."

Bai Xingjian's face grew somber, he scrutinized Sheng Kuang's face.

Wondering if he truly dared detonate the bomb.

Guo Nu saw this scene, regretting until his guts turned green.

Originally, he didn't need to come personally, he just needed to order a few deputy directors or heads from the Security Bureau to lead the team.

But, thinking of Sheng Xinhua, the little beauty, remembering when Sheng Jing was Finance Minister, always blocking the budget for the Security Bureau, whenever he visited the office, he never received a welcoming look...

He couldn't resist coming over to take a round.

This one round, and things got blown out of proportion.

They were all 'intimidated' by Sheng Kuang, the wine-crazed.

One person, detaining a whole group of them?
