Bai Ruoyi immediately looked outside and her small face turned pale with fright, her words stumbling, "The... the army..."
Bai Zhanhong's expression changed dramatically.
He poked his head out for a look, and his face instantly drained of all color!
The army!!!
If the Zheng family was an insurmountable dirt mound, then the Enforcement Bureau was a towering mountain!
One could only look up in awe, they could only gaze at it!
And the army...
Was a giant peak among the mountains!
Ordinary people wouldn't even have the chance to see it, let alone climb it!
But now, this colossal peak was descending like Mount Tai crushing down, to deal with the already devastated Bai family.
It was like...
A speeding truck about to crush an ant, effortlessly.
How could they possibly resist?
Bai Zhanhong's weathered old face, etched with years of experience, grew even more haggard, as if he were a frail old man on his last legs. Yet, his words were urgent: "Zihe, you must leave quickly!"
Bai Ruoyi also urged him on, her voice tinged with tears, "Brother, I'll hold them off for you, you run while you have the chance!"
Saying this, she rushed towards the exit.
Bai Zihe felt a surge of emotion, but immediately held Bai Ruoyi's hand.
He shook his head and said calmly, "Ruoyi, stay here with Father. I will handle everything."
"Zihe..."
"That's the army!"
"If you go out now, it's like a lamb walking into a tiger's den!"
Even at its peak, the Bai family would not dare to provoke the army.
Bai Zhanhong understood the authority of the military too well. He blocked Bai Zihe, preventing him from venturing into danger.
Upon hearing the roar, Zhan Tianlong and Xue'er also rushed over.
Bai Zihe instructed, "Xue'er, stay here with Father and little sister. Tianlong and I will go out to handle this."
With that, he walked out of the villa with Zhan Tianlong.
Xue'er immediately stepped forward, blocking Bai Zhanhong and Bai Ruoyi who were trying to follow.
"Miss Xue'er!"
"I know you come from an extraordinary background, please, save Zihe!"
Seeing Bai Zihe about to face the army, Bai Zhanhong's heart leaped into his throat, and he was about to kneel.
Xue'er was startled.
This was the young master's father, how could she possibly accept such a gesture?
She quickly helped Bai Zhanhong up.
But before she could explain, Bai Ruoyi also tearfully pleaded, "Sister Xue'er, my brother is the last hope of our Bai family. If something happens to him, we won't be able to live either!"
"Please, take him away, and let us stay to pay the price!"
Truly the young master's kin!
Even birds of a feather flock together, but when disaster strikes, they fly their separate ways.
Yet, the young master's family was willing to sacrifice themselves to protect him...
Xue'er secretly admired and praised them, then soothed, "Old Master Bai, Miss Bai, there is no need to worry at all."
"I guarantee with my life, no one in this world can touch the young master!"
Her voice was firm and her expression solemn, giving them a sliver of reassurance.
However, their hearts still remained heavy with anxiety.
The father and daughter frequently glanced outside, hoping for Bai Zihe's safe return.
Outside the main gate.
Bai Zihe and Zhan Tianlong appeared before the army.
"Bai Zihe, your time to die has come!"
Seeing Bai Zihe appear, a look of schadenfreude flashed across Zheng Haoxiong's sinister face.
Bai Zihe was powerful.
But in front of the army, his strength was useless!
With a single command from his second brother, tens of thousands of soldiers could blast him to smithereens!
He could already envision the beautiful scene of Bai Zihe lying on the ground, riddled with bullets!
"Bai Zihe!"
A middle-aged man in military uniform stepped out. His eyebrows bore a resemblance to Zheng Haoxiong; he was Zheng Yingxiong, the second son of the Zheng family.
He looked at Bai Zihe with a face full of mockery and contempt, "You killed my Zheng family kin and dared to act so presumptuously on our Zheng family territory. Did you ever think this day would come?"
"Now, I give you two choices."
"First, come back with me and kowtow for three days and three nights at the gates of the Zheng family to beg for forgiveness. I might consider leaving you a whole corpse."
"Second, be shot to death by my men, have your head severed and hung from the main beam of our Zheng family gate for seven days and seven nights, to deter all rascals in Suhang and serve as a warning!"
"Choose." With that, he stood on the military command vehicle, looking down at Bai Zihe.
Bai Zihe didn't even look at him.
His gaze swept around the surroundings, landing on the faces of the soldiers.
These were people who had sacrificed for their country, they should not become victims of villains like Zheng Ding Tian.
Bai Zihe's tone was sincere, "You are the People's Liberation Army, the cornerstone of the nation. I do not wish to kill you."
"Leave now, and you can spare your lives..."
"Swish!!!"
But before he could finish speaking, all the soldiers raised their guns, aiming them squarely at Bai Zihe.
They were no longer pure national soldiers, but Zheng Yingxiong's trusted men.
If necessary, they could even be the Zheng family's lackeys!
Like now...
Bai Zihe closed his eyes and sighed, "Since you wish to die, I shall grant you your wish."
"Still acting tough when death is upon you!"
Seeing Bai Zihe's demeanor, Zheng Yingxiong snorted coldly, "Fire! Shoot him dead!"
