“That goes without saying! Someone must have leaked the news and betrayed our Hong family. ” An elder replied.
“F * ck! If I find out who betrayed our Hong family, I will definitely cut him into pieces!” One of the more impulsive elders of the Hong family roared.
Listening to the elders ‘discussion, the Hong family’s master was silent and deep in thought. His gloomy expression made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
“Patriarch, say something! What should we do about this?” The elders ‘faces were gloomy. Originally, they were the Oriole, but now, how did they become the cicada that was caught? Their position with the Yan family had been swapped, and this was something they absolutely could not accept.
“Family head, I feel that the most important thing now is to find the person who betrayed our Hong family. If we don’t get rid of this person, the Yan family will find out about our situation. This will be very disadvantageous to us!” An elder of the Hong family reminded. Sigh! Why had things been so rough for the Hong family these past two days? First, it was the two daughters of the master who had a fight and almost turned against each other. Then, the young miss raped a beggar, and now they were surrounded by the Yan family. Sigh! Why did all these unpleasant things come together? He couldn’t understand it no matter how he thought about it. Could it be that today was destined to be an eventful year for the Hong family?!!
“Mm, seventh elder’s words are reasonable.” All the elders quickly agreed.
“Master, please tell us your decision!” At this moment, the fifth elder of the Hong family, who had also not said anything, spoke.
“You think that someone betrayed the Hong family?” The head of the Hong family asked indifferently.
“Yes. Otherwise, how would the Yan clan know that we are here?” The Hong family’s elders said.
“Since that’s the case, seventh elder, I’ll leave the task of finding the person who betrayed the Hong family to you.” The head of the Hong family said after some thought.
“Master, how should we deal with the Yan clan?” The seventh elder of the Hong clan couldn’t help but ask. Although it was important to find the person who had betrayed the Hong clan, they couldn’t ignore the Yan clan that was surrounding them like a tiger watching its prey!
The encampment they had chosen was hidden on a small road not far from Yan city. Although the road led from north to south, only one side led to Yan city, and the other side led to a forest not far from Yan city. Now that the Yan clan had blocked the road to their home, although there was no other movement from the Yan clan for the time being, they were very clear that if they took another step forward, the Yan clan would definitely launch an attack. They only had two choices. They could either return to Hucheng or retreat into the forest.
However, if they were to return to Hong city like this, what face would the Hong family have in the future? Retreating into the forest was not a good choice, so they urgently needed the family head to make a decision.
“The Yan clan won’t act rashly for the time being. If I’m not wrong, they’re probably just trying to force us back. Don’t forget, that old man from the Yan clan is seriously injured.” The head of the Hong family said with absolute certainty.
“So, family head, you mean that we should first find the person who betrayed the Hong family?” The fifth elder asked with certainty.
“Yes. Otherwise, our every move will be under the Hong family’s control.” The head of the Hong family said in a depressed manner.
“But who would betray our Hong family?” The seventh elder was at a loss. To be honest, he had no clue at all and didn’t know where to start.
“Who else is needed? It’s definitely Leng ruoxue and the others!” Suddenly, Hong Xin’s voice came into the tent. Then, Hong Xin walked in from the outside with an angry face. She had been eavesdropping outside, but after hearing the seventh elder’s words, she couldn’t help but speak.
“Xin ‘er! Don’t talk nonsense, she has never left our sight, how would she have the chance to betray the Hong family. ” The master of the Hong family angrily rebuked his daughter.
“Father! She’s not part of the Hong family, so she’s the biggest suspect. ” Hong Xin shouted.
“I’m not protecting her, I’m just judging the matter as it is. She has never left the camp, so how could she betray the Hong clan? moreover, she has a grudge against the Yan clan’s first master and his daughter. She’s not an idiot!” The head of the Hong family retorted.
“Miss Xin ‘er, we know that you’re unhappy with Leng ruoxue. However, what the family head said makes sense. She really doesn’t have the chance to betray the Hong family.” The seventh elder said.
“If it’s not her, then who is it?” Hong Xin said angrily. She couldn’t understand why these shrewd elders didn’t believe her.
“We will find out who betrayed the Hong family. Miss Xin ‘er, you don’t have to worry about such a small matter.” The seventh elder said with a faint smile.
“Hmph! If you don’t believe me, you’ll regret it. ” Hong Xin’s face was filled with anger and her heart was filled with hatred. She admitted that she had wronged Leng ruoxue on purpose, but she did not expect the elders of the Hong family to not believe her! After saying that, Hong Xin left the tent in a Huff.
“Elders, please don’t mind. Xin ‘er is still young and insensible!” After Hong Xin left, the head of the Hong family saw that the elders ‘expressions were not very good because of Hong Xin’s words, so he quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Master, these two daughters of yours are not the usual kind of willfulness! If we do not discipline them properly, I’m afraid that they will cause even greater trouble. ” The fifth elder could not help but remind him.
“Fifth elder, don’t worry! They’ve become much more restrained now. ” The head of the Hong family sighed.
Just like that, the Hong family secretly investigated the person who might have sold out the Hong family’s information. However, after a few days of investigation, they did not find any suspicious people. This made the seventh elder, who was in charge of the investigation, quite depressed.
The Yan clan was still guarding the exit of the road, blocking them, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
On an afternoon a few days later.
A guard of the Hong family came to report to the seventh elder, who was resting in his tent.
He was ordered to lead a team to monitor the Hong family and Leng ruoxue’s group. Once he found anything suspicious, he was to report to the seventh elder immediately. However, this time, after he told the seventh elder the news, the seventh elder’s face turned serious.
“Is your information true?” The seventh elder said with a frown.
