alk about it. Soon, Ye Fan made up his mind. He walked a few steps to the bed, and as if sensing something, Luo Xueyan slowly opened her hazy eyes.But after she glanced at Ye Fan, the longing in her e...Li Nanshan was a little confused.

Old Duan did tell him at the break of dawn that from today onwards, he would be a member of the Duan family.

But he felt that his family, compared to the families of Lao Si and Lao Wu, was inferior in terms of both blood relations and closeness.

Why would Lao Duan let Lao Si and Lao Wu's families get out, but let him stay

Of course, Lao Duan wouldn't tell him that he was keeping him around to drag the people behind him down into this whirlpool as well.

"Because you're still Xiang Ning's husband."

Li Nanfang understood.

Well, his wife Duan Xiangning stepped forward and single-handedly held up the collapsing Duan family. Naturally, as a son-in-law, his status rose directly with his wife's bravery.

Qualified to attend the most core meetings of the Duan family.

Having explained to Li Nánfāng, Old Duan turned his gaze toward his eldest son.

Duan's second generation understood and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Dad, I think the best course of action for our Duan family right now is to do nothing. In fact, we shouldn't even rush to come up with a plan."

When Duan Yi'er said this, it wasn't a sign of being lost or confused.

On the contrary, this was the best performance he had ever displayed under pressure since becoming the second-generation head of the Duan family.

Since Duan Xiangning was taken away, the entire Duan family has remained eerily silent. They haven't done any chores and not a single person has made a phone call.

Why

Because everyone knows that the entire Duan family is under close surveillance by the military.

Within the military forces down in the mountains, there would certainly be electronic reconnaissance specialists. They'd utilize the most advanced equipment to monitor, intercept, and eavesdrop on every single phone call made by the Duan family.

To prove that the Duan family had truly not committed treason, no one dared to make unauthorized calls outside without old Mr. Duan's orders.

This is an attitude.

One's heart is open and vast.

If the Duan family truly did something wrong and were surrounded by heavy troops, they would certainly be panicked and afraid, like ants on a hot pot, restless and uneasy.

From beginning to end, the Duan family was always calm.

Down below, it was also peaceful.

In the silence, maintaining necessary calm is what the Duan family should be doing right now.

That's why the second generation said so.

After he finished speaking, Lao Duan did not make any response. He slowly looked at Duan Shuchuang.

Segment Huang immediately replied, “My opinion is the same as Father’s.”

Then Lao Duan looked at the three sisters, Duan Xiang.

Compared to their parents, the Duan family's four phoenixes may have less experience, but their ability to handle things is much better than theirs.

And they are also part of the core generation of the Duan family's third generation. If the Duan family wants to gradually grow stronger or maintain its current status, it cannot do without their efforts.

This is also the reason why Lao would let them stay.

Duan Ning and Duan Xing looked at each other, then shook their heads together.

Shaking their heads means they don't know what to do.

In matters that concern the survival of the Duan family, they would not dare to express their opinions without fully understanding the principles involved.

Duan Xiang spoke.

"I think we should call the Chen family in Lingnan immediately. They framed us, and both morally and legally they should know that. The head of the Chen family should come to our house personally and give us, and the country, an explanation."

"No."

Before Duan Xiang could finish his words, Duan Shuhuang hurriedly interjected: "We absolutely cannot tell the Chen family now."

If Chen's family knew about this, they would only have two reactions.

First, they would quickly come forward and declare that the Chen family had nothing to do with this matter.

Everything was done privately by Chen Shou-nan and his daughter.

This is somewhat like a hero cutting off his arm.

The second possibility is that they were alarmed upon hearing the news, fearing that it would cause misunderstanding between our Duan family and the nation towards the Chen family. They immediately dispatched people to Dali.

No matter which kind, it can only make this thing known to the world, forcing the military to take necessary measures against the Duan and Chen families.

If things really go that way, some hostile forces in the West will take advantage of the situation and pour fuel on the fire—the military exercises scheduled for the day after tomorrow will be severely impacted.

Old Duan remained silent.

He was still expressionless, his eyes slightly narrowed as if he were asleep.

Du Xiang glanced at his elder, letting out a cold hum: “Hmph, are we just going to wait here and be dealt with Big brother, I don’t understand. This matter was clearly caused by that despicable Chen Yuer, driven by envy and hatred. As a result, all of our Du family members have suffered heavy losses. Even the spirits of our Du family ancestors in heaven can't find peace. Why should we allow the Chen family to go unpunished Once this matter becomes public, the Chen family will have an excuse to evade responsibility, deflect blame. They might even bite back and accuse us of framing their father and daughter.”

Duan Shuhua pursed his lips but said nothing.

He had nothing to say.

Because Duan Xiang said it this way, it also makes sense.

Moreover, and more importantly, Duan Xiangming was ostensibly accusing the Chen family but was actually subtly expressing his dissatisfaction with them.

If it weren't for him and Shen Yun being secretly intimate, but instead he had followed Old Duan's arrangement and become a couple with Chen Yuer long ago, would there be all these things happening

Uncle Er was not a fool, of course he could hear his niece's strong displeasure towards her son.

He really wanted to speak up and reprimand Duan Xiang, saying that it wasn't the time to blame each other for right or wrong. They should focus on the bigger picture instead.

But he was also very clear that if he said so, Duan Xiang would immediately retort, leaving him speechless.

So he simply frowned and said nothing more.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall grew heavy again.

He coughed lightly, then Lao Duan spoke: "Ye Shen, what are your thoughts on this"

"Can I not say it"

Li Nanfang truly didn't want to get involved in the infighting within the Duan family.

The saying "the bystander is clear" isn't just something people say casually, it's actually true.

Sipping tea delicately, Li Nanfang had seen through it—even at this point, the core of the Duan family hadn't forgotten their petty squabbles and blame games.

He is just the son-in-law of the Duan family.

After Duan Xiangning was "released without charge," they still had to leave Dali and go live their own lives.

Therefore, there is really no need to express any opinions.

Lao Duan, however, didn't want him to stand apart. He smiled and said, "Go on. The Duan family is your family too."

Since the old man always humbly and painstakingly dragged Li Nanshan down into this, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright. Following my idea is to wait."

Before anyone else could speak, Duan Xiang coldly asked, "What are you waiting for"

"Just wait for whatever."

Li Nanfang put down his teacup and smiled: "Wait until noon for dinner, wait until nightfall, wait until the moon rises. Wait for anything, it's all right."

Duan Xiang asked again, "Besides waiting, what else"

"Still wait."

"If it's handcuffs, or bullets Are we just going to stand there and take it"

"If you can't escape, where do you think you could run to under your current circumstances What effective preparations could you possibly make"

Li Nanfang was not pleased. When he spoke again, his words were laced with sarcasm.

He no longer remembered at all what kind of conflict he had with this dashing woman named Duan Xiang.

From the moment he saw her, he looked into the depths of her eyes and saw a burning hatred.

Don't underestimate Li Ren, even though he has amnesia. He knows that when ten women hate men, nine and a half times it's because of relationship issues.

Chen Yuer, out of jealousy, brought disaster upon the Duan family. She is a living example of this.

Then Li Renzhao started to ponder, Duan Xiang hated him, very possibly out of love-hate — aren't men like that, self-deprecating

Li Ren, the lazy and self-serving one, had secretly speculated that the Duan family originally intended to match him with Duan Xiang. After all, their ages were similar, and Duan Xiang was four or five years older than him.

As a result, Li Ren渣 inexplicably prefers Duan Xiangning, who embodies feminine charm, showing no interest in sassy women.

This led him to choose Duan Xiangning, causing Duan Xiang to feel deeply ashamed and harbor a burning hatred for him.

But can we blame Li Nanfang for this

As the saying goes, "Different strokes for different folks."

Some men prefer a woman like Duan Xiang, who is bold and spirited, while others prefer a woman like Duan Xiangning, who is alluring and sexy.

Especially thinking about being in the Lu family's home in Jinghua, waking up in the morning and opening his eyes to see a pure white round moon, as Du Xiangning's little mouth worked diligently, swaying gently back and forth, Li Nanfang's thing stood up immediately.

Thankfully, he was sitting with his legs crossed. This allowed him to just about cover up the awkwardness.

A man who truly understands how to enjoy life, wouldn't anyone like someone like Duan Xianting

Was it wrong to refuse Duan Xiang

Li Nanfang didn't even need to put it into practice. Just from Duan Xiang's words and actions, he could imagine that if they were truly intimate, she would be like a dead fish lying on top, allowing the man to do whatever he wanted without a sound. She wouldn't moan or make a fuss, only impatiently urging him to finish quickly.

Alas.

Why is the world so beautiful, making people linger and forget to return

Isn't it because there's a woman like Xiang Ning who's so passionate and unrestrained in bed, screaming loudly after she gets satisfied, saying "I want, I want, I want more"

Only such women can inspire men to be passionate, striving to change the world and make our lives better.

Perhaps Du Xiang didn't realize it, but Li Nanfang understood her animosity toward him in this way.

Only after hearing the prickliness in his words did her eyes widen, and she immediately slammed her hand down on the armrest of the armchair.

Li Nanfang was even more unhappy. Before she could open her mouth to scold him, he said coldly, "If you have the guts, jump up and hit me. I promise I won't fight back."

"Li—"

Duan Xiang gritted his teeth, just as he uttered the word, a soft thud echoed.

However, it was Lao Duan who put down the teacup.

The sound wasn't too loud, but it echoed in Duan Xiang's head like a clap of thunder. He instinctively looked at Old Duan.

Lao Duan's longevity eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he said faintly: "Ye Shen is right. Wait. Whatever comes, we have to wait."

Since Duan Lao was clearly supporting Li Nanting, what else could Duan Xiang say

She merely pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head.

Outside, hurried footsteps could be heard.

This is Duan Fu.

He hurried to Lao Duan's side and whispered, "Thirteen people. Wang Xu from the Military Intelligence Bureau who is feigning inactivity, Zhang Ju from National Security, Jing Hong, the director of the highest guard bureau, Liu Commander from the Dali Military Region, and Chen Director from the National Defense Overseas Espionage Bureau."

From a young age, Duan Fu, who always accompanied Lao Duan, would report to him with concise and to-the-point language, without any unnecessary words.

Thirteen people came to visit, but Duan Fu only acknowledged five of them.

Of course, the other eight people were also very important.

They are not yet qualified to have Duan Fu introduce them to Old Master Duan.

"Finally here. Good, very good."

Old Duan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Erdai, go and greet the leaders for me. Duanfu, tell the kitchen to send over two tables of dishes. They came here after traveling all night, their stomachs must be growling."

Mr. Duan is truly worthy of his name. Despite such a major incident happening at home, he hasn't forgotten to prepare refreshments for the leaders of several top-tier organizations in Huaxia who have come visiting together.

This also illustrated how forthright and open the Duan family was.
