After about two hours, Zhang Xiangwu and Zhang Xiangchun, as well as Tang Weihua, led the pheasants and wild ducks to appear in front of Zhang Lieyang. Seeing what they had in their hands, Zhang Lieyang smiled and said: "Tomorrow I'll come back and spend the New Year with everyone!" As he spoke, Zhang Lieyang put the things on the car and drove away with Xiao Yajie.

  After sending Xiao Yajie back home, Zhang Lieyang gave some pheasants and wild ducks to the Xiao family before driving back alone. After returning home, Zhang Lieyang went straight to Zhang Lao's study room.

  Old Zhang smiled and said: "You're doing great in military school now, you haven't disgraced Grandpa! Keep up the good work!"

  "Alright, Grandpa!" Zhang Lieyang said, taking out a piece of Tian Huang stone he had bought on Nanjing's Antique Street and handing it to Old Master Zhang. "It's the New Year, and I don't have anything else to show my filial piety... I personally engraved a seal for you, do you like it?"

  Mr. Zhang took the Tian Huang seal and smiled after taking a look, saying: "Not bad! The carving of this seal is very delicate, and the characters are also good!" After saying that, Mr. Zhang dipped some ink and tried it out, then said: "It seems my grandson has not been raised in vain!" Then Mr. Zhang put away the seal and said: "After you left last time, Zihuan came back, I gave her ten guns from home."

  "Grandfather, it's not that I'm reluctant to give up those guns, but I'm afraid that if we do it once, there will be a second time! If this continues, our family will eventually get into trouble!" Zhang Lieyang looked at Old Master Zhang and continued, "Grandfather, although the Zhejiang merchants have supported Chiang Kai-shek's regime for half of his career, don't forget that businessmen always prioritize their interests! If we get involved in party struggles, it's always the businessmen who will be hurt!"

  Upon hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Old Man Zhang said with delight: "Our Lieyang has grown up! He also sees things more comprehensively now! I've thought about the things you're considering, so I made it clear to that girl, this is the first time and the last time!"

  "Grandpa, I'm worried that Chiang Kai-shek might mobilize troops to annihilate the guerrilla forces at any time!" Zhang Lieyang looked at Old Master Zhang and said: "Grandpa, after graduating from military school, I won't join Uncle Xiao's unit. I'll choose the 29th Army as my target! I hope that when I lead my troops, all three families will temporarily relocate to Chongqing!"

  "Don't worry, child! You should also go visit your grandmother!" Old Man Zhang said seriously.

  After bidding farewell to Old Man Zhang, Zhang Lieyang came to the backyard and saw Mrs. Zhang after which he returned to his own room. Upon opening his cabinet where he stored things, Zhang Lieyang suddenly became enraged and called for the housekeeper asking: "Who entered my room when I wasn't around?!"

  The housekeeper said worriedly: "Young mistress has gone in!"

  Upon hearing the butler's words, Zhang Lieyang immediately picked up the room phone and dialed the Pear Mountain Warehouse phone saying: "Xiang Wu, leave 300 people to guard the house, mobilize all the others, surround and annihilate the person we placed last time!"

  "Got it, young master!" He hung up the phone and Zhang shouted to sound the alarm! Soon, the two regiments still training in Lishan were fully armed. Seeing Zhang's fiery appearance, the butler rushed to Old Master Zhang's study and said: "Old master, something's wrong! Young master is mobilizing troops and preparing for battle!"

  "What?" Hearing the butler's words, Old Master Zhang hurriedly walked to the door and saw Zhang Lieyang asking: "What exactly happened?"

  "My contract with Smith, worth six million pounds, was taken away by Zihuan, and it's being delivered today! That's ten thousand guns!" Zhang Lieyang said as he got into the car and drove away.

  Outside the city, Zhang Lieyang met with Zhang Xiangwu. Zhang Xiangwu smiled and said: "Young master, when I let them go, I left two people to follow them, Liu's young master and miss are living in Wuxiang Town!"

  Before Zhang Wu finished speaking, Zhang Lieyang said to him: "You lead the way and surround all the people who were released last time. Don't reveal your intentions! Wait for me to come back and deal with it later! You let someone go with me to find Big Miss!"

  When Zhang Lieyang rushed to their secret contact point with his men, he coincidentally blocked Zhang Zihuan and Liu Kaifeng who were just about to leave the house. Seeing Zhang Lieyang's fierce momentum, Liu Kaifeng and Zhang Zihuan suddenly felt a sense of foreboding! Upon seeing them, Zhang Lieyang ordered without hesitation: "Tie everyone up for me! Let them search!"

  Soon, the contract and cash were found in the house. Looking at the things searched out from them, Zhang Lieyang said with a wry smile: "If I had been one step later today, all 531 members of the Zhang family would have lost their heads tomorrow!"

  Upon hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Zhang Zihuan realized the severity of the situation and cried out: "Brother! I didn't know things were that serious! Brother! I know I was wrong!"

  "Do you know your mistake?! Humph, don't pretend anymore! The spoiled little sister I liked is already dead!" Zhang Lieyang looked at Liu Kaifeng and said: "I thought you were a friend, but you shouldn't have used my sister!" Just as Zhang Lieyang was about to continue speaking, Zhang Xiangchun rushed in and said: "Young master, without your consent, we caught all the people who were released last time! The brothers are all unharmed!"

  Upon hearing Zhang Xiangchun's words, Liu Kaifeng was stunned! He asked in surprise: "How did you guys do it?!"

  "With your IQ! Are you playing with fire or what?! You're not trying to get yourself killed, are you?!" Zhang Lieyang said to Zhang Xiangchun, "Lock them all up together and send them out of Zhejiang tomorrow!" Then Zhang Lieyang pointed his gun at Liu Kaifeng and said, "Today I'm giving you one last chance because of my sister's face! If you use my sister again, next time we meet, I won't be so polite!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Lieyang turned around and left.

  After returning home, Zhang Lieyang saw Zhang Lao Taigong waiting at the door and hurriedly went up to support him, saying: "Grandpa, everything has been resolved! No shots were fired, and no one was hurt!"

  "Good! That's good!" Old Man Zhang said with a sigh of relief.

  Captain Xu and Commissar Pang saw that Liu Kaifeng and Zhang Zihuan had both been "sent over", so Commissar Pang curiously asked: "Little Liu, Little Zhang, what's going on?!?"

  Liu Kaifeng sighed and said: "We were just short of getting 10,000 guns! Who would have thought that we'd fall at the final hurdle!"

  Zhang Xiangwu, who was standing beside him, snorted and said: "Our young master prepared these weapons to fight against the Japanese! Not for you to use in a civil war!"

  "What did you say?" Liu Kaifeng looked at Zhang Xiangwu with disbelief and asked.

  "What's wrong with you?! I'm telling you, if my young master wants to wage a civil war, you're not even enough to fill his teeth gaps! Don't think your so-called guerrilla warfare is anything impressive! We used lightning-fast tactics today and captured all of you in an instant!" Zhang Xiangwu glanced at Liu Kaifeng with disdain and continued to speak to Zhang Zihuan: "You're a gentle lady, why are you being manipulated by others? But I have to say, Lady, you're really good at playing games. Almost everyone here would have lost their heads if it weren't for us!"

  Upon hearing Zhang Xiangwu's words, Zhang Zihuan burst into tears.
