388: Chapter 387 The Si Family's Third Generation Hears the Devastating News from Fallen Dragon Valley

Southwest, Si Family Old Residence, under the ancient tree in front of the courtyard.

Si Zhengxiong stood quietly, his dragon-headed cane deeply planted in the earth, his hands fiddling with the pair of polished bronze lion heads, his gaze fixed on the direction of Zhuilong Valley.

Although the Si Family Old Residence and Zhuilong Valley were separated by dozens of kilometers, the roaring sounds from the direction of Zhuilong Valley still faintly reached Si Zhengxiong's ears, making his already uneasy heart even more tense.

Within those sounds, there were both the sound of bullets firing and the air explosions caused by the surging True Qi.

Just by listening to the commotion, Si Zhengxiong could predict that there was definitely a fierce battle at Zhuilong Valley!

However, he was not too worried.

After all, two fists are no match for four hands, and a fierce tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves! Even if she, Bai Ruoxue, was at Peak Anjin, she could not withstand the siege of so many people!

Besides, to bring Zhao Lintai back to the capital, even the Armed Police Force of the Southwest Military Region had been dispatched. Under the suppression of dense firepower, unless she, Bai Ruoxue, truly had heaven-defying abilities, it was absolutely impossible for her to escape.

He only hated his current physical condition. If he hadn't failed in his breakthrough to Huajin, he wouldn't be stuck here worrying and unable to do anything!

Time passed second by second, and the sounds from the direction of Zhuilong Valley gradually ceased.

He originally thought that Zhao Lintai and Bai Ruoxue had already been captured. Just as his hanging heart was about to settle, in the distant sky, the roar of rotors approached from afar. Three armed rescue helicopters with warning lights flashing red headed straight for Zhuilong Valley.

At the same time, dust billowed at the foot of the mountain, and a long dragon composed of dozens of military trucks and armored vehicles was driving rapidly along the mountain road.

Si Zhengxiong's expression froze, the bronze lions in his hands stopped turning abruptly, and his heartbeat accelerated at this moment!

He was also from a military background; such a large convoy could transport the strength of an entire brigade!

What exactly happened at Zhuilong Valley? Why was it necessary to mobilize so many troops?

Could it be that the woman actually escaped? If so, wouldn't Yaoyao and Qin Yi be in danger?

Thinking this, Si Zhengxiong immediately took out his phone to dial Si Hongbin's number. Due to nervousness, his hand was also shaking slightly, out of his control.

Dialing repeatedly, no one answered. Every time, it was the prompt, "The user you dialed is not in the service area, please try again later," which made him frantic!

"Answer the phone! Answer the phone quickly!" Si Zhengxiong roared at the unanswered phone, his feeling of unease growing stronger.

"Cannot panic... cannot panic... it's fine..." He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and dialed his son, Si Hongjun.

Southwest International Group, top-floor office.

Si Hongjun was reviewing documents. His eldest son, Si Wenruo, had returned to the Southwest last night, and after waking up at noon, he had been dragged to the group by Si Hongjun. He was about to leave for the capital soon, and it wasn't clear when he would return, so he had to let his son take over the group's affairs as soon as possible to feel at ease.

The phone rang suddenly. Seeing it was a call from Elder Si, Si Hongjun answered immediately.

However, just as the call connected, before Si Hongjun could respond, Si Zhengxiong's voice came through.

"Hongjun, contact the Southwest Military Region immediately and ask what exactly is going on at Zhuilong Valley!"

"Elder Si, what happened?" Hearing Elder Si's urgent voice, Si Hongjun also stood up from his chair immediately.

Seeing his father in such a state, Si Wenruo also stood up and stepped forward.

"Don't ask so much! Something must have happened at Zhuilong Valley! I'm worried that Yaoyao and Qin Yi will be in danger!"

"Isn't Hongbin following them? With Hongbin there, and six experts from the Family, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Si Zhengxiong had no mood to explain too much to Si Hongjun now, and said sternly: "If I could contact Hongbin, would I still be calling you?!"

"Do you know that just a moment ago, three armed rescue helicopters and dozens of military transport vehicles and armored vehicles were gathering in the direction of Zhuilong Valley! This is at least the strength of a brigade! If nothing happened at Zhuilong Valley, the Southwest Military Region would never mobilize so many troops!"

Realizing the situation was wrong, Si Hongjun immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, okay! Elder Si, don't be anxious, I'll call and ask! I will report to you immediately if there is any news!"

"Hurry up!" Si Zhengxiong hung up the phone and paced back and forth under the ancient tree with a nervous expression.

He had experienced countless storms in his life, but at this moment, thinking that Si Yao might be in danger, his heart hurt as if it were being cut by a knife — that was the Si Family successor he had brought up and cultivated with his own hands, the granddaughter he cherished in the palm of his hand!

In the office, Si Hongjun held his phone, pondering repeatedly.

He did know a few people in the Southwest Military Region, but he was about to go to the capital, and he didn't know what that leader at Donghe Villa wanted to see him for. If he contacted the military at this time, it would inevitably give people something to talk about...

After thinking it over, he decided to call Xu Anguo first to ask about the situation!

After all, it was he, Xu Anguo, who had asked the Si Family to send people into the mountains to find Zhao Lintai!

Si Wenruo, seeing his father hesitating and not making the call, urged: "Dad, what are you stalling for? Make the call quickly!"

"Get lost! Since when is it a son's turn to urge his father!" Si Hongjun glared at Si Wenruo, but his actions didn't stop at all; he immediately dialed Xu Anguo.

At this moment, Xu Anguo had just arrived at Donghe Villa.

Just then, the leader was carrying a teacup and walking back to the office in a hurry.

"Director Xu is here! Just finished the meeting, tell me, what does the Security Bureau plan to do next?" The leader walked behind the desk, put down the teacup, and asked directly in a cold and detached voice.

However, that 'Director Xu' made Xu Anguo's heart tighten. In the past, the leader had always called him Old Xu... It seemed the leader was truly furious this time!

Before Xu Anguo could respond, the phone in his pocket buzzed inappropriately.

The leader frowned slightly. The words that had just reached Xu Anguo's lips were swallowed back. He hurriedly took out his phone, and just as he was about to hang up, he realized that the caller was Si Hongjun!

Xu Anguo looked at the leader hesitantly and asked: "Leader, it's the Si Family — Si Hongjun calling. Do you think I should answer it?"

Thinking of the battle report just reported to him by the Southwest Military Region, that the seven Si Family members had very likely been killed by Bai Ruoxue, the leader also had a headache. Paper cannot wrap fire; the Si Family would know about this sooner or later.

Therefore, the leader waved his hand helplessly: "Answer it. Things are already like this, it can't be hidden! Telling them earlier will allow Elder Si to be mentally prepared."

"Sigh," Xu Anguo nodded and answered in front of the leader.

As soon as the call was connected, Si Hongjun's voice immediately rushed out, carrying undisguised panic: "Director Xu, are you aware of the situation at Zhuilong Valley? My Elder Si said that the Southwest Military Region has mobilized at least a brigade's strength and is currently gathering towards Zhuilong Valley. We cannot contact Si Hongbin now, and Elder Si asked me to ask you if you are aware of it?"

"Mr. Si, don't be anxious. I just received the news as well. The situation is like this..."

Subsequently, Xu Anguo explained the situation he knew to Si Hongjun, and then added: "The Southwest Military Region has already taken action. Believe us, we will do our best to search for and rescue the Si Family members."

Hearing the dreadful news, Si Hongjun staggered backward. Seeing his father in such a state, Si Wenruo immediately stepped forward to support him, letting him sit back in the chair, and then asked: "Dad, are you okay? What did the phone say? What exactly happened at Zhuilong Valley?"

Si Hongjun, however, looked lost, murmuring: "How, how could it be like this?! Hongbin, how could he be so easily killed by a woman?"

Although Si Hongbin was not Si Hongjun's biological brother, he had watched him grow up since childhood; they were closer than brothers!

Moreover, in terms of strength, Si Hongbin could be considered one of the top talents of their generation! He had never thought that one day Si Hongbin would be killed by someone!

Hearing his father's murmurs, Si Wenruo also became nervous and hurriedly asked: "Then what about my sister? How is she?"

Si Hongjun, who had regained his senses, immediately put the phone to his ear again and asked anxiously: "Then what about my daughter? How is my daughter Yaoyao doing?"

Xu Anguo explained helplessly: "According to the news from the Southwest Military Region, the Armed Police Force did not encounter Si Yao after entering the mountain. However, when Bai Ruoxue was fighting Si Hongbin, she revealed that she had fought with Si Yao and Qin Yi at the top of Zhuilong Valley. There is no news yet on their condition..."

Si Hongjun felt a 'boom' in his brain, and the surrounding environment seemed to become extremely quiet instantly — Hongbin was the younger brother he watched grow up, and Si Yao was his only daughter. Now, one was dead or alive unknown, and the other was missing.

Si Wenruo heard it clearly from the side, shaking Si Hongjun's shoulders, tears falling instantly: "Dad, Yaoyao will be fine, right?"

Si Hongjun's eyes gradually focused. Now was not the time for sadness; the priority was to find Yaoyao immediately!

Thinking of this, his expression immediately became serious. That woman actually dared to attack Si Yao! Yaoyao was the Si Family successor personally appointed by Elder Si! Attacking his daughter was equivalent to declaring war on the Si Family!

Xu Anguo waited for a moment with the phone in his hand. Seeing that Si Hongjun had not responded for a long time, he said: "Mr. Si, don't worry, believe that the soldiers of the Southwest Military Region will definitely bring Young Miss Si back safely."

"Director Xu, I know the situation." On the other end of the phone, a flash of determination crossed Si Hongjun's eyes, and his tone changed as he said in a deep voice, "However, our Si Family will not easily entrust the safety of our Family members to others!"

After speaking, without waiting for Xu Anguo to respond, Si Hongjun had already hung up the phone.

Xu Anguo put down the phone, looked at the leader with a solemn expression, and said helplessly: "Leader, I'm afraid the Si Family is about to make a big move!"
