Wang Clan ancestral home, main hall.
Wang Bing, Wang Yu, Princess Tong 'an, and the Wang Clan's Third, Fourth, and Fifth Elders were all gathered in the main hall. Usually, they would have returned to their rooms to rest, but today, Wang Kui's sudden escape had brought the entire Wang Clan to the brink of death. The slightest carelessness could plunge the Wang Clan into eternal damnation. Thus, all the core members of the Wang Clan, including Wang Bing, were waiting in the main hall for news from Wang Chengwu. The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely oppressive. The maids and servants standing to the side didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. At this moment, a middle-aged steward walked in and whispered into Wang Yu's ear.
"Master, the people we sent to Tongfu Inn have returned!"
"Oh? Let Chengwu in! "
Wang Yu, who had been faintly fatigued, was jolted awake. He hastily sat up straight and said to the steward.
His voice was rather loud, such that everyone in the main hall heard him. Wang Bing, Princess Tong 'an, and the other three Wang clan elders all turned their gazes in Wang Yu's direction. The steward had an awkward expression on his face. He first clasped his hands towards everyone in the room, then said, "My apologies.
Commander Wang did not return. Only half of the people who went came back! "
"Only half came back? What's going on? Could Wang Chengwu have been ambushed at Tongfu Inn? "
Wang Yu frowned and asked subconsciously.
He knew that Wang Chengwu had brought over two hundred of the Wang family's hidden guards to investigate the situation at the Tongfu Inn, but only half of them had returned. This meant that it was very likely that the other half had encountered some mishap. For over a hundred Wang family's hidden guards to encounter mishap, it could only mean that a powerful force had set up an ambush for Wang Chengwu in the inn.
The steward hurriedly shook his head. "No! That's not it! The mission this time went very smoothly. Commander Wang took the other half of the people to carry out another mission. I heard from the people who came back that they had a pleasant surprise and captured an extraordinary person! "
"Oh? Captured an extraordinary person? Quick! Have someone come in and tell me what's going on. "
Hearing this, Wang Yu's eyes brightened. The worry on his face disappeared and was replaced with joy.
Not only him, but the rest of the people in the main hall also secretly heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the old butler's words.
"Yes! Master! "
The old housekeeper responded and then walked to the door. He opened the door and shouted outside, "Wang Quan, come in!"
"Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room heard the sound of hurried footsteps that were getting closer and closer. Soon, an ordinary-looking young man in a tight suit walked in. He clasped his fists and bowed to everyone in the room.
"Greetings, Family Head, Princess, Grand Elder, and Third Elder …"
"At this time, there's no need to be so courteous. Quickly tell me who you caught at Tongfu Inn ~?"
Before Wang Quan could finish his greeting, Wang Bing, who was sitting at the head of the table, waved his hand impatiently, interrupting him.
"Yes! Grand Elder! "
Wang Quan bowed as he received his orders, and then he didn't waste his breath and directly started narrating. "An hour ago, Commander Wang led us to surround Tongfu Inn. We originally intended to capture the manager and owner of the inn, yet we never imagined that we would actually encounter two groups of people in battle there …"
