Chapter 6: Stormy Waves

  The Wei estate was in an uproar when Shi Honglie arrived with his men. Although the young master of the Wei family had managed to keep his actions hidden from outsiders, there were still some people within the estate who had seen through his schemes. Due to the master's orders that no one was allowed to leave the estate without permission, it was clear that something big had happened, even if they didn't know the specifics. With the arrival of the Shi family's men today, it seemed that this matter was not just a small one.

  "Ah! I didn't know Brother Hong Lie Xian had arrived, sorry for not welcoming you from afar." He knew better than anyone why Si Hong Lie had come, but on the surface, he still had to put on a show. Seeing Si Hong Lie's unpleasant expression and the large group of people behind him, had something been leaked somewhere? Anyway, he had to continue pretending as usual.

  "I say, young brother, I don't know what brings you to our Wei manor?"

  "I came here today to find Wei Xian, your family member, and ask him some questions about the space base's military supplies." If it weren't for seeing that my son still hasn't returned until now, I wouldn't have come to this place.

  "Ah, my good son is unfortunately unwell today and it's really not convenient." Wei Xiran's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately came up with a not-so-brilliant excuse. In any case, this son would be kept safe even if it cost him his life.

  "Is that so? I heard my second brother say Wei Xian participated in the exercise today, how come he got sick so quickly. (One kiss leads to disaster: Refusing to marry the heavenly king's husband)

  Si Honglie coldly snorted, even if you're making excuses, this excuse is too damn low-level, are you taking me for a fool? It seems that the Wei family indeed has problems, humph, don't let me find any evidence, otherwise..."

  Wei Xiran also knew that it was no good to gloss over the matter, damn stupid pig, how could he come up with such a lousy excuse, and forget about the morning exercise, damn it. "Th...th...this..."

  "Haha... who am I, it turns out to be Hong Lie Xian's nephew. Xi Ran, since Hong Lie insists on seeing Xian Er, you go bring Xian Er over." After saying that, he winked at Wei Xi Ran several times.

  Wei Zhongting had actually been behind the scenes all along, he just hadn't shown his face yet. He also didn't expect the Sis to arrive so quickly. After thinking about it for a while, there was no place that showed any weakness, and if that's the case, then he might as well not come out at all. But what made him almost vomit blood was this useless son finding such a terrible reason, and just when things were going to get ugly, he had no choice but to come out and salvage the situation.

  Wei Zhongting's little trick of winking his eye, how could it escape the eyes of Si Honglie, coldly sneering in his heart, wait till I find evidence, I'll see how your Wei family ends up.

  About a moment later, Wei Xiran supported a sickly-looking young man to walk over, that young man was precisely Wei Xian, looking at his appearance it seemed like he really was ill, however this obviously was also one of the Wei family's little tricks.

  "Xian'er, your uncle Honglie has something to ask you. Just tell him what you know and answer honestly, got it?"

  "Yes, Grandfather." He then turned to face Si Honglie and asked, "Uncle Honglie, what do you want to ask Xian'er?" This kid is still quite good, at such a young age he's already showing composure.

  Xie Honglie slowly let out a breath, "Xiao Xian, do you know where Xiao Cheng is? Or have you seen him three days ago?"

  "This... Hong Lie Shu, that day after morning exercise, I haven't seen Cheng Di, however, I saw him often running to the bluestone beside the Red Bamboo Forest before, don't know if he is there or not."

  After listening, Sī Hóngliè's heart suddenly moved, "Red Bamboo Forest, Green Stone? How could I have forgotten that place." He glanced at Wèi Xiàn, who was lowering his head, and cupped his hands to Wèi Zhōngtíng, "Today has been a great disturbance, farewell." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

  Rushing out of the Wei mansion, she ran to the side of the bluestone, but after searching for half a day, there was still no sign of Si Cheng. Only that huge bluestone stood alone in the distance.

  "Nothing?" Looking at the distant red bamboo forest, "Did Xiaocheng run into the bamboo forest? No way, this bamboo forest is strictly forbidden for anyone to enter, and even the edge of the village is almost deserted. (One product under heaven) Xiaocheng himself was also very clear that it was impossible to enter the bamboo forest, but how could that Wei family boy say that Xiaocheng often came here? If, if Xiaocheng really went in, this would be bad. No way, this matter is a bit big, I have to hurry back and tell my father."

  The village chief, also the head of the family, was the number one master in the village. He had achieved the ninth level of the "Iron Muscle and Bone" technique twenty-five years ago. After becoming the top master, he was invincible for a time. However, he became dissatisfied with his current state and believed that continued practice would lead to further breakthroughs. For twenty years, he managed family affairs while persisting in his training, but made no progress. In frustration, he handed over all responsibilities to his eldest son and devoted himself wholeheartedly to seeking a breakthrough. Now, it has been five years since he last appeared.

  When Si Honglie arrived at his father's residence, he was also nervous. His father had said before that he wanted to focus on finding a breakthrough and didn't want to be disturbed unless it was something big. But this time, it was completely beyond Si Honglie's ability, so he had no choice but to disturb the old man.

  "Father," Shi Honglie stood respectfully outside the training room.

  "Hong Lie, didn't I tell you? It's nothing big, try not to disturb me if possible."

  "Dad, Xiaocheng has lost his heroic fate... 9/9524/";> Very pure and cute: Diamond-rich man comes to blind date)"

  "What? You're saying that Cheng Er has gone missing?" A loud shout suddenly came from the practice room, "Tell me exactly what happened, quickly."

  Sī Hóng Liè told everything that had happened since Sī Chéng went missing, including going out to search for him, the suspicions about the Wèi family and what happened in the Red Bamboo Forest.

  "Dad, now that you know so much, it's clear that the Wei family is aware of the inside story. If what Wei Xian said is true and Xiao Cheng really enters the bamboo forest, what should we do?"

  After a brief silence in the training room, Director Kong's voice came out again.

  "That red bamboo forest is eerie and beyond our comprehension. Even if I were to enter, there's no chance of me coming out even halfway."

  "What...what can be done?" Shi Honglie hastily and anxiously said. If even his father couldn't think of a solution, then he would truly be disheartened.

  "Alas! If Cheng Er really entered the bamboo forest, I'm also completely helpless and can only resign to fate. Let's just hope for the best. But this time, the Wei family cannot be let off so easily, humph! I've been in seclusion for five whole years, this time I'll go out and stretch my limbs a bit. Even if I couldn't save Cheng Er, I must make him speak the truth. It can't be that poor Cheng Er died in vain."

  The old man's eyes grew more and more sorrowful as he spoke. The last time he had seen his grandson, the boy was only seven years old. Now five years had passed, and they would never meet again. "My poor grandson!"

  "Hong Lie, gather your men and follow me to the Wei residence to reason with them." said Si Zhang Meng abruptly.

  Sī Hóng Liè's heart skipped a beat, this time the Wèi family had gone too far in bullying others, did they think the Sī family was easy to bully? He must avenge Chéng Er. Thinking of his only son and his wife who cried all day, his heart felt a pang of pain.

  When the Shi family arrived at the Wei family's home in a grand and majestic manner, the entire Wei household was thrown into a state of panic. Many people on the street immediately ran back to their homes, as if this situation had happened before.

  "What's going on? Can someone tell me what happened?" asked a few brave souls who hadn't left the road.

  "I'm telling you, brothers, you don't know yet, something big has happened in Hongzhu Village."

  "What's going on?" A crowd of people immediately surrounded him.

  "I've received reliable information that the young master of the Sui family has been forced into the Red Bamboo Forest."

  "What?" This sentence was simply earth-shattering, who had the guts to push the young master of the Si family into the Red Bamboo Forest? It's a place where everyone in the village is terrified of, and it's always been a one-way trip, with no one ever returning. What's inside remains unknown.

  "Absolutely true, I, Wang Lingtong, know everything in Hongzhu Village. There's nothing I don't know about this village. Look, isn't that the village chief right up front?" Wang Lingtong said with great self-importance.

  "Wow, it's really the village chief! It's been at least five years since we last saw him. Looks like this time things have gotten out of hand." Suddenly, many people saw that the person standing in front of the Si family was none other than the old village chief who had not been seen for five years.

  "Wei Lao, you old rascal, come out!"

  With a loud roar, the earth shook violently. Just then, Wang Lingtong, who was talking nonstop and boasting wildly, suddenly grew a long mouth and ran away in a puff of smoke. It was too terrifying; his ears were almost deafened.

  The Wei family was in an even greater uproar, feeling as if the sky was about to collapse. One by one, they covered their ears and rolled around on the ground in pain. Wei Zhongting's face turned even darker, this loud shout having a huge impact on him. He hadn't expected that this old man would be even more terrifying after not seeing him for five years. In these five years, he had also made significant progress, already being half a step away from achieving the Ninth Layer of Great Completion. At any moment, he could take the next step forward. Originally, he thought that even if he couldn't defeat him, he could at least put up some resistance. At the very least, the Si family wouldn't dare to make any big moves, let alone now when it was an alliance of three families.

  "Old fellow, won't you come out? Then I'll have to use force to make you appear." Afterwards, the Director's body emitted a powerful aura, preparing to break in.

  "Slow down!" Wei Zhongting cried out in exasperation, bringing his family's expert outside.
