The car door opened, and a group of men in formal attire stepped down from the vehicle.

A leader among them approached the crowd.

After giving everyone a once-over, the leader spoke solemnly, "Who is Jiang Chen?"

"I am," Jiang Chen replied softly, "who are you?"

"That's none of your concern, come with us immediately!" the leader barked.

The Jiang family members were taken aback, and Jiang Chen frowned. "Why should I go with you?"

"Are you resisting?" The leader's face suddenly turned cold.

Jiang Chen's eyes darted about before he stepped forward to the leader, speaking indifferently, "It was Fang Mingyuan who sent you, wasn't it?"

"You don't need to know who sent us; our task is to take you back!" The leader's heart jolted, and he gave a low shout with a frown.

"Chen'er is not a criminal!"

Jiang Minglong roared, and Li Wushuang, Chen Qianshui, Xing Fei, and others simultaneously took a step toward the group, their auras beginning to emerge.

"Everybody, stay put!" Jiang Chen turned and shouted lowly, casting a glance towards the distant skyscrapers.

"Chen'er, if you go, that old bastard Fang Mingyuan will surely torture you!" Jiang Minglong spoke urgently.

"Yes Chen'er, you can't go!"

"Young Master, with these people, we..."

Everyone began to speak out, trying to persuade him, and a murderous intent even flashed in Yan Hu's eyes.

"Yan Hu, shut your mouth!" Jiang Chen shouted lowly, giving Yan Hu a fierce glare!

After a pause, Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and then spoke again, "That bastard Fang Mingyuan just wants us to resist. As soon as we do and lay our hands on them, he could pin the blame on us!"

"What?" The Jiang family members were stunned, then turned to look at the surrounding skyscrapers.

"It's an open conspiracy! It's forcing me to have no choice but to go! These people have likely been given strict orders to bring me in, Fang Mingyuan, this is forcing me to take action!"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, then turned to stare at the leader, "Do you know who you're capturing?"

"I only know to follow orders!" The leader replied with a grave face, feeling doubtful inside.

If it was as the young man before him had said, he might have found himself embroiled in a struggle between powerful figures. But why was this young man targeted by Old Fang?

"I'll go with you, but remember, 'It's easy to invite the gods, difficult to send them away!'"

Jiang Chen sneered coldly, then walked toward the jeep, calling out as he did, "Yan Hu, inform Shen Xiangtian, tell him I've been kidnapped by Fang Mingyuan!"

"Yes!" Yan Hu responded respectfully, giving those men a fierce glare.

The leader's heart trembled, and he furrowed his brows tightly. This young man indeed had something to rely on. Shen Xiangtian... why did that name sound so familiar?

Shaking his head, the leader no longer dwelled on it; after all, his orders were to take the man back. If there was resistance, they would shoot; if not, they were to bring him in, end of story.

With a wave of his hand, the group got in the car and quickly departed from the Jiang Family Courtyard.

Watching the camouflage jeep drive away, Yan Hu quickly took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Who's this?" The call took a while to connect, and Shen Xiangtian's voice came through amidst background noise, inquiring who it was.

"I am Yan Hu, Jiang Chen's bodyguard. Mr. Jiang has been kidnapped by Fang Mingyuan's people!" Yan Hu spoke with a grim face.

"What!"

…

"Fang Mingyuan, such audacity!"

Old Master Song sat in his office, on the phone.

Zhang Zijian urgently called Xu Wannian, who in turn hastily dialed Old Master Song.

"Old Master Song, things are going to blow up! This time Fang Mingyuan might secretly execute Jiang Chen!" Xu Wannian's anxious voice sounded through the handset.

A glint of cold light flashed in Old Master Song's eyes, and he said coolly, "Some people, too proud of their status, think no one dares to touch them."

He turned his head to look at Jiang Minglou, who had just returned to the country with him, and said with implied regret, "Ming Lou, I am sorry. Such an incident has occurred in the Jiang family, yet you followed me out!"

Jiang Minglou's expression shifted slightly as he spoke in a low voice, "Old Master Song, this isn't your fault, but could you approve my leave please? I would like to go home and check on things."

"No! You still need to carry out an order for me!"

Old Master Song gently shook his head, then his gaze deepened, "Since Young Jiang has notified Long Ya, let him handle it himself. He no longer wishes to keep a low profile!

Indeed, with such an incident in the Jiang family, if he stays low-key any longer, I'm afraid the Jiang family won't be able to make a comeback."

The car doors opened, and Jiang Chen and the others got out of the car.

Looking at the quiet young man who had been silent since getting into the car, Shen Qing hesitated, feeling that he might have done something wrong today. However, military orders were not to be defied, so he could only act according to command.

"Heh!" Suddenly, Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh, glanced over at the buildings, and said with a trace of sarcasm, "Fang Mingyuan, that old bastard, really wants me dead, huh? He even arranged snipers here!"

Shen Qing was startled by his words and quickly looked up, involuntarily stepping to the side to shield Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked at Shen Qing in surprise and asked with curiosity, "You're not one of Fang Mingyuan's men?"

"I belong to the military, not to any individual!" Shen Qing turned to look at Jiang Chen and said solemnly, "The order I received was to bring you here. As for what happens next, it's not my concern. But since you haven't resisted, it's my duty to ensure your safety until someone else takes you away!"

"Not bad, you are indeed a man of steel!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly, offering his praise, then whispered, "But you don't have to do this; the dozen or so sniper rifles can't harm me."

Shen Qing paused, looking at Jiang Chen in astonishment. One of the men also escorting Jiang Chen scoffed at the remark, "Sniper rifles can't deal with you? Do you think you are an Innate Grandmaster?"

"How do you know I'm not?" Jiang Chen glanced at the man, then turned to Shen Qing, "If I'm not mistaken, the Family Heads of the Zhang Family, Meng Family, and Sun Family are all here, right? Take me to see them!"

"This…" Shen Qing hesitated.

Smiling, Jiang Chen said, "What's the matter? Did Fang Mingyuan give orders that apart from bringing me here, I also need to be held separately?"

"That's not the case," Shen Qing shook his head lightly, realizing more and more that Jiang Chen was no ordinary person.

"Then take me to them. I think this should allow you to do that," Jiang Chen said with a smile, pulling an ID from his pocket and handing it to Shen Qing.

Shen Qing took the ID with bewilderment. When he saw the wolf's head on the cover, his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered the name Jiang Chen mentioned at the gate of the Jiang Family Courtyard: Shen Xiangtian...wasn't he the captain of the Dragon Tooth Special Combat Team?

Realizing the complexity of the situation, Shen Qing opened the ID and glanced at it.

"What!?" As he realized the content inside the ID, Shen Qing exclaimed, looking incredulously at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen gave a faint smile, speaking softly, "You don't think it's fake, do you?"

"No, no, no!" Shen Qing shook his hands quickly, then stood up straight and saluted Jiang Chen, "Shen Qing salutes the Instructor General Jiang."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, returned the salute, and spoke softly, "Take me to the three Family Heads, and it'll be fine to keep me with them."

"Yes!" Shen Qing spoke respectfully, returning the ID to Jiang Chen. Having seen the contents, he was now certain Jiang Chen was not an escapee, and a wave of regret washed over him—what divine squabble had he gotten himself into?

Regardless of his regret, Shen Qing couldn't just release Jiang Chen since he was following orders. He could only hope that the mighty figure before him would not blame him!

While sighing inwardly, Shen Qing walked toward the office building.

Approaching the reception room, Shen Qing gestured with his hand, "Instructor General Jiang, all three Family Heads are inside."

"Alright," Jiang Chen nodded, pushing the door open to the reception room.

"I don't care who you are, just release us immediately, this is abduction, I'm going to sue you all!" Right as the door opened, a shouting voice came through.

Jiang Chen paused, entering the room with a hint of amusement.

Seeing Jiang Chen enter, Shen Qing hurriedly ran downstairs, calling out to the people inside, "Go, go, go, to the training field, go train, don't stay here!"

"Yes!" The group answered, full of confusion as they followed Shen Qing toward the training field.

"Head of the Jiang Family?!"

"Head of the Jiang Family, why are you here too?"

"Head of the Jiang Family, have you been captured by them too? Do you know who these people are?"

As soon as Jiang Chen entered, the room erupted with the astonished voices of three people.

In the reception room, Zhang Chenggang, Sun Yucheng, and Meng Chaochen were all sitting on the chairs. Upon seeing Jiang Chen enter, they all stood up; although they appeared somewhat fatigued, none of them seemed injured.

Relieved to see the three men unscathed, Jiang Chen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. If any of them had been hurt because of him, he would have felt terribly guilty.

"Gentlemen, I apologize for involving you!" Jiang Chen said regretfully to Zhang Chenggang and the others.

The three were taken aback, and Meng Chaochen frowned, "Head of the Jiang Family, is someone targeting the Jiang Family?"

"Yes! Last night, Jiang Minghui…" Jiang Chen briefed them about the night's events and the situation at the Jiang Family.

"That...bastard! Jiang Minghui is a complete bastard, colluding with Beihai National's people, he deserves to die!" Sun Yucheng cursed angrily.

Zhang Chenggang's face turned steely as he said, "Head of the Jiang Family, don't worry, after we get out, we will definitely help you rebuild the Jiang Family!"

"The question now is, how do we get out? Who exactly is helping Jiang Minghui against the Jiang Family?" Meng Chaochen spoke somberly.

Jiang Chen spoke calmly, "It's Fang Mingyuan!"

"Him?" Zhang Chenggang and the others exclaimed.
