Chapter 13: 13: Breaking into the Jiang Family
```
Even though Jiang Zhongmou had long stopped interfering in the internal affairs of the Jiang Family, they ultimately shared the same roots. The murder of his second brother, Jiang He, ignited endless killing intent within Sun Zhongmou's heart.
"Wonderful, with those words from you, my younger brother, I can rest assured!" Jiang Hong exclaimed with unexpected joy.
Although the Jiang Family could almost do as they pleased within the Central Plains, there were still some entities they could not meddle with, such as the Red Flame Army.
However, his younger brother, Jiang Zhongmou, was the Grand Commander of the Central Plains War Zone. With Jiang Zhongmou stepping in, even if Ye Fan truly had the protection of the Red Flame Army behind him, he had nothing to fear.
At this moment, within the boundaries of the capital of Heavenly Abode Country.
"The Battle Wolf Legion from the Northwestern War Zone has poured out in full force?"
"War God Xiao Tiance personally led the special forces team out of the Eastern Warzone?"
"A large fleet was dispatched from the Southern War Zone without any instructions?"
"The Northern War Zone withdrew its fighter jet exercises on its own? Not just that—other major warzones are also agitated! What do these guys want to do? Are they trying to rebel?"
A man at the official headquarters, who was as astonishing as a heavenly figure, received one message after another, his face growing more and more grave.
Swoosh—
Before long, an elder hurried in front of the man and said respectfully, "My Lord, we have found the cause, it seems that the agitation in all warzones originates from the Central Plains!"
"From the Central Plains?" The man rubbed his chin in surprise.
The elder spoke again, "Yes, my Lord, the source is from the Central Plains. According to investigations, it is Lin Wu, the commander of the Red Flame Army, who released a message that utterly threw the major warzones into chaos!"
"Lin Wu? Didn't I send this guy to oversee the Central Plains War Zone? How has he become the source of the agitation in the warzones? Contact Lin Wu immediately!" the man pondered aloud.
One minute later, the official headquarters connected with Lin Wu.
"Lin Wu, you have quite the nerve to convene other major warzones without authorization!" the man rebuked with an air of authority.
"Apologies, Your Majesty, the situation was urgent and I forgot to inform you. It's God Ye, God Ye has returned!" Lin Wu quickly reported the situation, despite being scolded by the man.

"God Ye?"
Upon hearing these two words, the man exclaimed on the spot, disregarding his image, his face a picture of shock.
Lin Wu spoke solemnly, "Yes, Your Majesty, God Ye has returned. He is in trouble right now, and there is no time to delay!"
Then, Lin Wu reported all the details in the briefest terms possible.
"What? God Ye's wife and daughter were abducted by the Jiang Family? His daughter was even murdered? Damn it!!!"
"How audacious of the Jiang Family, truly heaven-defying! Lin Wu, you did the right thing. I order you to ensure God Ye's family's safety at all costs!" the man spoke seriously.
Lin Wu answered with a solemn expression, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"God Ye has returned, God Ye has actually come back!"
The man was visibly moved upon learning of Ye Fan's return and could hardly keep tears from welling up in his eyes.
He was the ruler of Heavenly Abode Country. Six years ago, the country suffered a terrible invasion from the alliance of the Six Nations, with countless soldiers dying in foreign lands, and border cities repeatedly falling.
If not for Ye Fan stepping forward, Heavenly Abode Country would have most likely fallen, and he himself would have ended up a prisoner.
Back then, Ye Fan had slain six foreign War Gods and quelled the turmoil, and he had yet to reward Ye Fan when Ye Fan encountered an assassination attempt by masters of the Six Nations during his return.
When the official members arrived, the enemies' corpses littered the field, blood soaking the land, but Ye Fan was nowhere to be found.
He had sent numerous masters to search for Ye Fan, yet there was no news of him.
As six years flashed by, he believed Ye Fan had died in that battle. Unexpectedly, Ye Fan was still alive.
"Someone arrange a special plane for me—I must go to the Central Plains myself!" the man declared with a resolute gaze.
"Yes, my Lord!"
...
At this very moment, within the Central Plains.
After receiving a call from above, Lin Wu immediately went to Ye Fan's side.
"God Ye, His Majesty just called. He orders us to ensure your wife and daughter's safety at all costs—I have immediately come to your side. The other warzones are also on their way here now!"
"The depths of the Jiang Family's resources have not been fully ascertained and seem immeasurable. God Ye, shall we wait for reinforcements from the other warzones?"
```
Thinking of his wife and daughter still in the hands of the Jiang Family, at any moment facing mortal danger, Ye Fan was frantic with worry.
"The people of the Jiang Family are utterly heartless. There's no time to lose; I must rush to the Jiang Family at once!"
Lin Wu understood Ye Fan's feelings and no longer tried to dissuade him. With a sudden wave of his hand, three thousand Red Flame Army soldiers followed Ye Fan, heading straight for the Jiang Family.
...
Inside the detention room of the Jiang Family, the angelic-looking Su Ruoxue fell into a coma due to extreme sorrow.
Under the lead of Jiang Hong, a group of people arrived at the detention room.
Seeing Su Ruoxue unconscious, Jiang Hong said coldly, "Someone, wake her up for me!"
"Yes, Patriarch!" A servant immediately responded.
Suddenly, a basin of cold water was thrown onto Su Ruoxue's pretty face; as the chill struck her, she awoke in shock.
Seeing Jiang Hong's figure, Su Ruoxue's face turned pale, and she pleaded urgently, "Patriarch Jiang, I beg you, please let Ling'er go!"
"Ling'er is still young, she's only six years old this year. If your Jiang Family requires a companion in death, I can be that person. Just let Ling'er go, and I will do whatever you ask!"
Hearing Su Ruoxue's words, a malicious smile spread across Jiang Hong's gloomy face.
He held a dagger in his hand and waved it in front of Su Ruoxue. "You want your daughter to live? Fine! Then tell me, what exactly is Ye Fan's relationship with the Red Flame Army?"
"I... I don't know!"
Questioned by Jiang Hong, Su Ruoxue answered without hesitation.
"Playing dumb with me at death's door, huh?"
Jiang Hong was furious. He snatched Su Ruoxue's hair with one hand, and the sharp dagger instantly touched Su Ruoxue's perfect, flawless face.
"Hiss!"
In an instant, fresh blood flowed from Su Ruoxue's pretty face, staining half of her cheek red.
"Mmm!"
Her cheek sliced by the dagger, Su Ruoxue endured the pain, her limbs bound, unable to struggle.
Jiang Hong's expression was fierce as he demanded, "I'll ask you one last time, what exactly is Ye Fan's relationship with the Red Flame Army in the Southwest?"
"I really don't know!" Su Ruoxue's eyes brimmed with tears as she said.
"Hiss!"
Jiang Hong was clearly unsatisfied with Su Ruoxue's answer; he wielded the dagger once more and another cut appeared on the other side of her face, as blood copiously flowed.
Feeling the scorching pain on her cheek, Su Ruoxue choked out, "I really don't know what Ye Fan's relationship with the Red Flame Army is!"
"Six years ago, my family and I went out for an outing on the weekend. We found Ye Fan on a hillside, covered in blood and riddled with wounds; we saved Ye Fan!"
"After Ye Fan came to, he remembered nothing, and in these six years, he often suffered from splitting headaches. Beyond that, I really know nothing!"
Slap!!!
Unconvinced by the response, Jiang Hong slapped Su Ruoxue's face fiercely.
"Are you trying to fool me? You're Ye Fan's wife; how could you not know Ye Fan's background?"
"I really don't know!" Su Ruoxue was in excruciating pain.
Completely enraged, Jiang Hong's eyes nearly burst with fury, "If you refuse to speak, do you believe I'll kill you right now?"
"I don't know, I really don't know!" Su Ruoxue was utterly helpless.
"Damn it, it seems you're hell-bent on seeking death. Since that's the case, I have no problem sending you to the afterlife!"
Seeing that no information could be wrung from Su Ruoxue's mouth, Jiang Hong's face was full of killing intent; he gripped the dagger tightly and suddenly stabbed toward Su Ruoxue's heart.
Boom!!!
Just at that moment, the main door of the Jiang Family was violently kicked open, and an overwhelming killing intent enshrouded the entire Jiang residence.
Then, a voice like thunderous fury exploded within the Jiang Family's grounds, "Jiang Hong, you old cur, release her immediately!"
"Believe it or not, if you dare to harm her a bit more, I'll slaughter your entire clan; if you dare to touch her a hair more, I'll kill every single person in your whole Jiang lineage!"
