What are you looking at? You're the female lead too!

No sooner had he finished speaking than another loud bang echoed from outside into the inner courtyard, sounding as if someone had forcibly kicked down the sealed gate.

"Xiao Qiu, take Ye Wen to the storeroom to get the weapons."

Shen Caichun took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, our home is no longer safe. Stay vigilant and try not to stray too far from me."

In the darkness, the three began to move.

Shen Xuqiu's deep voice rang out.

"It's Xiaodong back, right?"

The Shen family's ancestral home embodies the will of generations of Japanese chrysanthemums and is equipped with numerous autonomous mechanisms, making it virtually impossible for ordinary people to forcibly break in.

Not to mention destruction.

Therefore, without a doubt, the flaw comes from within.

He is Shen Yuedong, the youngest member of the Shen family who ran away from home, and the younger brother of Shen Caichun and Shen Xuqiu.

Now, he's home.

In a way that no one wanted.

Shen Caichun didn't speak, but her attitude already answered her sister's question.

Why?

Shen Xuqiu's voice was slightly out of control: "Even if Sister Zhixia is gone, don't you still have me, eldest sister?"

"Even if you hate me, you wouldn't go so far as to lay a hand on the family you grew up in, would you?!"

"I, I..."

Shen Xuqiu's chest heaved violently with anger, her voice hoarse. She wanted to say something more, but in the darkness she saw her sister's eyes, which, though angry, were cold and suppressed.

Golden chrysanthemums shimmered in his pupils.

Shen Xuqiu calmed down. Looking into her sister's eyes, she understood that she wasn't the only one who was angry, but anger wouldn't solve the problem.

"Xiao Qiu, now that you've calmed down, your questions are the same questions I have."

Shen Caichun took out the key, unlocked the door, and pushed open the heavy iron gate. Because the power system was damaged, she lit a spare candle that was kept in the corner.

A warm, pale firelight flickered in the darkness.

At the same time, it also allowed Ye Wen to see clearly what was stored in the room.

Guns, guns everywhere, including classic models that even a layman like Ye Wen would recognize, as well as special models that are completely incomprehensible.

They are stored here, their black gun bodies exuding a cold, austere aura, yet they give people a sense of security.

In addition, there were large quantities of standard-issue grenades, flashbangs, smoke grenades, body armor, multi-purpose knives, anti-materiel assault weapons, drones, robotic maids...

Without a doubt, this room is a complete arsenal, capable of easily arming Ye Wen from head to toe.

"The last time I opened this room was three years ago..."

Shen Caichun sighed, a hint of sadness in his voice, which vanished in an instant: "Ye Wen, take whatever weapons you can find that are handy. This won't be like the childish games we played at school a few days ago."

"You must make sure you stay alive."

Ye Wen looked around and finally chose two black pistols, a multi-purpose dagger, several grenades and magazines.

"This one is more convenient to use."

He gripped the pistol tightly, feeling its weight in his hand.

In the dim light, it seemed as if someone gently placed their hand over his palm and gripped the gun together with him.

Ye Wen thought it was Shen Xuqiu, but it turned out not to be. She was staring blankly at the corner, looking quite uncomfortable.

That must be an illusion.

Ye Wen didn't pay any attention.

Meanwhile, when no one was paying attention, Shen Caichun used a special method to open a hidden compartment in the floor and took out a sealed tube of dark red unidentified liquid.

She handed the vial of liquid to Shen Xuqiu and nodded to her.

"Sister, you..." Shen Xuqiu bit her lip and lowered her eyes. She knew what the liquid was and what using it meant.

Has the situation become that dangerous?

"I understand, sister."

Shen Xuqiu carefully put the liquid away.

"Alright, are you all equipped, kids?"

Shen Caichun raised his voice, clapped his hands, and his clear voice echoed: "Then we shall begin the great operation of the Riju family."

"after all."

"It seems like my infuriating younger brother can't wait any longer."

Click.

The next second, the floor shattered and exploded on a large scale, and they fell from the second floor to the first floor. A large number of guns and ammunition were scattered everywhere, and the robot maid kept making repetitive mechanical noises in the corner.

Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero...

When Ye Wen fell from the second floor to the first floor, his first reaction was cold, very cold.

The ground was frosty, and the air was filled with ice particles. With each breath, he felt the cold air slowly cutting into his lungs, subjecting him to silent torture.

It was like plunging headfirst into the dead of winter.

"Long time no see, sister."

A cold, almost indistinct voice approached from afar. In the darkness, someone carrying a lantern walked over. He wore a heavy coat, and his thin face was covered with a thin layer of ice. One could see some resemblance to Shen Caichun and Shen Xuqiu.

It seems that he is Shen Yuedong.

Shen Yuedong wasn't the only one who arrived. Behind him, countless figures clad in black robes emerged from the darkness, each bearing a uniform insignia.

A split moon.

Layer upon layer of figures surrounded Ye Wen and his companions.

The air seems to have gotten colder.

In this oppressive atmosphere, Shen Caichun sneered: "The moon in the sky? So that's how it is. All those wanted posters and assassins these past few days were just to buy me time."

"While I was busy dealing with assassins from outside, and Xiao Qiu was at school, you quietly returned home and did something I didn't notice, right?"

Shen Caichun sighed.

"You're really getting more and more decadent."

Shen Yuedong slightly raised his head.

"After all, things would become much more difficult if you were to be idle, eldest sister."

"As for my depravity... hah." He turned to look at Shen Xuqiu, who was standing behind Shen Caichun: "No matter how depraved I become, at least I am still conscious."

"Big sister."

Shen Yuedong looked into Shen Caichun's eyes and said, word by word:

"You haven't told that ignorant guy the truth about the Japanese Chrysanthemum, and..."

"What was the real cause of my second sister's death?"

Shen Xuqiu suddenly raised his face, looking completely bewildered.

"Eh?"

"What was the real...cause of my second sister's death?"

Didn't my second sister die in her battle with the Great Luck? What is the real cause of death?

She muttered to herself, repeating Shen Yuedong's words, and looked at Shen Caichun for help: "Sister, what he said is..."

"boom!!!"

Without hesitation, Shen Caichun slammed her fist into the ground before the other party could make a move. Instantly, a large amount of earth, stone and steel were reshaped under her control, turning into giant walls that served as partitions.

"sister?!"

Before Shen Xuqiu could get the answer she wanted, she was gradually moved away under Shen Caichun's control. The walls were constantly being assembled and blocked, completely shutting out the enemy and Shen Caichun together in front of Shen Xuqiu.

In the end, all Shen Xuqiu saw was Shen Caichun's tired yet gentle gaze.

She knew very well that the people from the Moon in the Sky that Shen Yuedong brought were not the trash she had encountered before. Even Shen Yuedong, the brat she had beaten since childhood, had undergone some unknown change, his aura becoming sharp and dangerous.

It was already a struggle for him to fight on his own; he simply couldn't protect them in the battle.

Therefore, Shen Caichun decisively chose to hold off the main force himself, allowing Ye Wen to escape with Shen Xuqiu.

"I'm sorry, the plan has been disrupted, so I have no choice but to put you on the field at this rushed time."

Looking at the iron wall that completely separated them, she softly expressed her apology and request: "I'm leaving her in your care from now on, Ye Wen."

"I hope we'll be alive to meet again."

The next second, behind Shen Caichun.

An extremely cold blizzard swept in.
