Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Follow Me to Eliminate the Traitors

All the conspiracies and conversations in the private club were monitored by the Personal Guard and relayed live to Qin Tianxuan at the company.

Qin Tianxuan listened silently through his earpiece.

He shot to his feet in shock when he heard Li Tianhui plotting to eliminate Li Changshan.

Yuan Jingjing, who had just finished a meeting nearby, was startled. ”Mr. Qin, what’s wrong?”

The fury in Qin Tianxuan’s eyes vanished as quickly as it appeared. He gave a slight wave of his hand and kept listening.

Li Tianhui and his group’s conversation was recorded in its entirety.

’But who would have thought they would actually plot to murder their own brother, their own uncle?’

CRACK!

Qin Tianxuan almost crushed the armrest of the nearby sofa.

A frightened Yuan Jingjing rushed over to pull him away.

”Get out!” Qin Tianxuan’s eyes flashed as he shot her a furious glare.

Hurt, Yuan Jingjing stumbled back, tears welling in her eyes.

”Yuan Jingjing, what exactly is your relationship with Li Tianhui? Do you know about Changshan Company embezzling corporate assets?”

He advanced on her, radiating a terrifying, murderous aura.

Her mind went blank, and she burst into tears. ”Why are you yelling at me?! I don’t know anything! You... don’t you bully me just because you’re handsome and rich!”

With that, she spun around and fled. As she ran, she furiously pulled out her phone. ”Weiwei, I can’t handle your husband anymore! He’s impossible!”

Han Biwei’s reply came back instantly: ”What’s wrong? I’ll come to your office after I pick up Niannian from school. Don’t be mad. Tianxuan probably didn’t mean it.”

At this, people around the office came out to watch the spectacle. ’Oh, looks like the young couple is having a fight.’

Qin Tianxuan knew he had misjudged her, but he had no time to soothe Jingjing’s feelings at the moment.

Phone in hand, he immediately headed for the top floor. He contacted Li Changshan directly and sent him the recording of the evil plot.

A moment later, a call came from Li Changshan’s number, but it was one of the Personal Guards assigned to him.

”Sir, President Li fainted. He... he passed out from anger. The squad with President Li, we all served on the battlefield back in the day and retired with him, but the blood of the Battle Department still flows in our veins! Please give us your direct orders!”

The man on the other end, one of Li Changshan’s brothers-in-arms for many years, was crying. ”We can’t stand these animals from the Li Family anymore! The brothers want to go back right now and wipe them all out!”

”Stay calm!” Qin Tianxuan said, gritting his teeth. ”Are you on the plane yet?”

”Reporting, sir, not yet! The airport is just ahead!”

”Good. I’m taking command now. Board the plane, conduct a full inspection, and ensure everything is secure! Here’s what you’re going to do next...”

After giving a series of commands, Qin Tianxuan put down his phone, his heart filled with grief and indignation.

A heart-wrenching memory from the past surfaced in his mind.

It was about six years ago, back in the Western Regions Battle Department, when Li Changshan was just the Captain of the Third Battalion of the Lieyang Army.

Once, after clearing out enemies with Qin Tianxuan, they were resting on a hillside.

The men had all collapsed into sleep, but Li Changshan, the young Captain, took out a photograph, shining his flashlight on it in the moonlight.

Qin Tianxuan had walked over then, glancing at it curiously. ”Who’s that?”

Li Changshan shot to his feet and saluted. ”Sir! These are my three brothers and my four nephews!”

His eyes were full of joy. ”Sir, when I retire and go home, I’ll take over the family business. Then I can take good care of my brothers and nephews. If I never marry, I’ll divide all my assets among them!”

Back then, Captain Li had declared without hesitation that he would give all his assets to his family.

His eyes had shone with a light of sincerity and happiness.

The memory faded, and the rims of Qin Tianxuan’s eyes turned red.

’The brothers-in-arms who followed me to conquer the world... every one of them had a family to protect. For Li Changshan, his three brothers and four nephews were his home, his sanctuary.’

’And how had Li Tianhui and the others repaid him?’

BANG!

In his rage, he punched and shattered the air conditioner beside him. Amid the spray of coolant and electric sparks, he opened the group chat for the Night Emperor’s veterans.

A solemn silence fell over the group chat.

For they had seen that the Night Emperor himself had appeared.

Their most revered commander!

The brother-in-arms with whom they had faced life and death!

Qin Tianxuan’s words appeared, typed out one character at a time.

”Brothers! Assemble tonight, clad in white. Follow me, and we will purge the traitors!”

”Sir! What traitors are we purging?”

”The traitors of the Li Family! Their treachery is an offense to both heaven and earth!”

Qin Tianxuan blasted the details of the Li Family’s plot to murder Li Changshan into the chat.

After a brief silence, the chat exploded with a sea of blood-red icons.

Perfectly synchronized, rows upon rows of an icon appeared: a military bayonet, dripping with blood.

”I, Yue Jingtian, former second-in-command of the Lieyang Army’s Third Battalion, am ready!”

”I, Chang Beihai, former Captain of the Lieyang Army’s Third Battalion, am ready!”

”I, Chen Hai, former Sentry of the Lieyang Army’s Third Battalion, am ready!”

”Zhao Dajun, veteran of the Lieyang Army’s Third Battalion, is ready!”

”Purge the Li Family traitors!”

”Purge the Li Family traitors!”

Bright red text continued to flood the chat.

Qin Tianxuan coldly sent a message: ”Wait for Changshan’s side to get things arranged. When the news of the plane crash comes out, I predict the Li Family will hold a memorial service tonight. Await my command then!”

「At that moment, in a conference room at Su City Hall」

Governor Chen Hai stood up. ”This meeting is temporarily adjourned!”

He turned and, grim-faced, called over the Vice Governor. ”You will preside over the remaining work today!”

”Ah, Governor, where are you going?”

”For today, I am not the Governor!”

”Then...?”

”Right now, I am just a veteran of the Third Battalion!” Chen Hai stormed out.

Across Su City, from north to south, powerful figures who had remained in the shadows for years suddenly mobilized in unison.

Clad in white, they emerged from their homes and conference rooms, their faces grim.

Beneath the open sky, the veterans of the former Lieyang Army’s Third Battalion once again drew their military blades.

Polishing their bayonets, they converged on Su City!
