Chapter 1474 I promise, I'll marry you

nd and throwing it out the window. The two seemed to be competing, and in less than a minute, Lu Dawei and the few people he brought were all thrown out of the classroom.Patting his hands, Ye Fan said...Starry night.

Dali doesn't have much heavy industry and its transportation isn't very developed, which limits population growth. This is what allows the environment to remain so fresh and beautiful.

Standing before the gate of Duan Jia Manor, one only needs to lower their head to see the departing vehicle.

Soon, the red taillights of the car disappeared completely under the stars.

In just a few short hours, Duan Shuchang, who seemed to have matured over ten years, looked at Duan Lao, who had aged considerably in the same time. His nose tingled with emotion. He whispered, “Grandfather, they’re gone. You should go back to your room and rest.”

Just as if he hadn't heard a word he said, Lao Duan kept staring blankly at the place where the car had disappeared, unwavering in his gaze, like the mythical Husband-Watching Stone.

Duan Fu walked over, his hands holding a open box.

Duang Shu Huang took it over and gently draped it on his grandfather's shoulders.

"I'm fine, child."

Old Duan finally spoke. Though his voice was aged, it remained steady, full of confidence. "You, I, our Duan family, have done nothing wrong, nor have we failed to live up to the expectations of our ancestors. Yet, the Duan family has faced such a severe test. We can only say that the blessings left by the heroic spirits of our ancestors have been exhausted."

In fact, that is indeed the case.

The Duan family has, over these past decades, indeed been living off the laurels of their ancestors and have never once considered the danger of complacency.

This could be seen as a test from heaven for the Duan family.

If we can weather this storm, the Duan family will continue to prosper.

Can't

Hee hee.

It's simple too.

Since ancient times, besides the Shen family, which other prominent families have lasted for millennia without decline

The fortune of individuals, families, and even nations has never been consistently prosperous.

Otherwise, how could the mighty Han dynasty and Tang dynasty have collapsed so suddenly during their most glorious periods

The moon has waxing and waning phases, flowers have their time of blooming and falling. Even the sun and moon divide day and night, so how much more so a mere family like ours

"Lao Duan spoke, turning to sweep his gaze across the faces of his family members standing in the doorway. He continued, “Like China, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, it was enslaved by foreign powers, its very essence of blood and courage was castrated, making it weak and vulnerable, constantly bullied by the powerful nations. But now Just like countless times throughout history, China has once again risen from the ashes, becoming increasingly strong.”

"I am old, and I can no longer witness the grand spectacle of 'a hundred nations paying homage' in history. But you can, as long as you remember that you are descendants of Yanhuang. No matter what you do, always put the national and people's interests first."

Lao Duan smiled slightly, gently pushing away Duan Fu's arm that was supporting him, and walked slowly into the mountain villa gate: "As long as China is prosperous, why should we care where the Duan family is"

After hearing what Lao Duan said, Duan Erdai and the others trembled all over.

They heard the trend of the Duan family's future development from the last words of Old Duan.

Several years ago, the Duan family, who had been keeping a low profile for decades, finally decided not to be content with just being in Dali. They began to exert their power and move north.

To this end, the Duan family was fully prepared.

A grand strategy has been formulated. As long as it benefits the Duan family, there are no people who cannot be sacrificed and no actions that cannot be taken.

The Duan family members firmly believe that with everyone's united efforts, they will surely achieve their desires.

As for Duan Xiangning, the vanguard officer sent out several years ago, who suffered setbacks upon her deployment, it didn't have a significant impact on the Duan family.

Because they saw no one objecting during Duan Xiangning's smooth marriage to Lü Hang, they didn't notice any opposition.

That's it.

As long as no one opposes the Duan family's power crossing north, then the Duan family can do whatever they want.

At this very moment, when Lao Duan spoke those words, it was an official declaration that the power transfer northwards — the arduous journey — had come to an end.

As long as China prospers, why should we care where the Duan family is

This statement was like a bolt from the blue for people of Duan Erdai and his generation.

They instinctively wanted to oppose.

After all, for the sake of power, the Duan family had prepared for many years before crossing north.

To prepare for this, a lot of effort has been put in.

How can you just say end, and it ends

In this case, wouldn't all of the Duan family's previous efforts be wasted

"Dad!"

Old Five couldn't hold back his anger any longer, so he took two steps and chased after him.

Suddenly, Old Duan turned back abruptly and looked at him coldly.

Old Five's scalp went numb, and he quickly lowered his head.

Old Man Duan did not scold him at all. He simply used his old eyes to slowly scan the faces of his grandchildren once more, finally landing on Duan Chuang's face for a moment longer, and said in a soft voice, "Chuang, you are tired too. It's time for a good rest."

After hearing this, Duan Lao Wu, who was still unwilling in his heart, understood why Duan Lao had decided to end the plan.

Any plan is tailor-made by humans.

Even the most well-crafted plan needs someone to carry it out.

What if there were no people

The emperor Duan Shu who launched this plan is now standing on the brink of a precipice, struggling to save himself.

Besides him, who else could bear the burden of carrying out the plan

Is he just a second-generation heir with mediocre talent and abilities

Is it Duan Lao Si, who is timid and overly cautious by nature

Or, is it the narrow-minded Duan Lao Wu who wants to take advantage of everything but never suffer any losses

Or perhaps Duan Xiang, or Duan Ning

None of them.

After the Duan family suffered a catastrophic disaster, Old Duan suddenly realized that what the Duan family needed most at present was not to expand their power, but to continue keeping a low profile!

Not until people are numerous and talent abounds will it be possible to find the opportunity to do this.

When will the Duan family prosper with a large and talented population

Old Duan just said that he is getting old and can no longer see well.

He was also telling Duan Chuang Huang that he was tired and needed to go get some good rest.

Duan Shuhuang was, after all, the third-generation head of the family painstakingly cultivated by Old Master Duan. Of course, he understood the meaning behind these words and deeply agreed with them. He nodded and strode over to his grandfather, supporting him as they quickly left.

Both the father and son walked very quickly.

Only when you can take off the heavy burden from your shoulders will you walk with light steps.

They're all gone, what are the rest of you doing here

"Scatter, I hope you return safely."

Looking down at the mountains, Duan Ning silently wished Duan Xing a good life in her heart, then turned around to enter the door. However, she found Duan Xiang still sitting on the armchair, gazing into the distance.

Just like Duan Xing, Duan Ning also usually feared this second aunt of hers.

Seeing her expressionless, Duan Ning gave up the idea of pushing her back. He hurried away.

In the courtyard, which spanned dozens of square meters, only Duan Xiang sat alone on a desk chair, gazing in one direction. After a long time, he finally let out a slow breath.

Generally speaking, people are hesitant when they undertake this kind of work.

What resolution did Duan Xiang make again

She turned her head to glance at the empty courtyard, then took out her cell phone.

Before leaving, Wang Xu and his team had withdrawn the electronic surveillance from Daguan Mountain Villa, so Duan Xiang didn't have to worry about anyone listening in on her phone calls.

Ring ring.

After a few beeps, a man's voice came from the phone: "Have you figured it out"

"Yes. I think I understand now."

Duan Xiang bit her lip hard, almost saying each word with a pause: “I promise, I will marry you.”

The man over there chuckled, “Heh heh, congratulations. You made the right choice.”

"Don't get ahead of yourself."

After uttering the six words, Duan Xiang felt much more relaxed and said in a soft tone: "Wait until you finish this and succeed before congratulating me."

"What's wrong"

Li Nanshan had just left our house - don't interrupt, just listen to me first.

Duanyang interrupted the man who had just uttered a word, his voice even lower: "I don't like him coming back alive. What about you Don't you feel the same"

"My dislike, is your dislike of him living multiplied by ten."

In the man’s voice, there was a bone-chilling hatred mixed: "But I need to know, how can I achieve our common goal”

"Please wait a moment."

After a moment of silence, Duan Xiang said, "When I get back to my room, I'll write down what I need to say and send it to your email. Then you should know what to do."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

The man was decisive and efficient. After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Putting down his phone, Duan Xiang watched as Li Nanshan drove away and smiled faintly: "Li Nanshan, if you really die there, if you are reborn in the next life, remember well, never put a green hat on someone's head again. Otherwise, no matter how many lives you have, it won't be enough."

If Li Nanfang could hear Duan Xiang say this, he would definitely roll his eyes and curse: "Grass, you don't know **. Back then, Longcheng City Flower paid me to do her. At that time, I had no idea she was my brother-in-law's sister. Otherwise, I would have gone crazy to mess with her."

If Duan Xiang could hear him say that, he would definitely immediately retort: "Then, how did you get together with Duan Xiangning"

Li Nanfang was speechless.

Because Duan Xiangning hadn't voluntarily seduced him, she had been forced onto the hospital office desk.

Men, who in their lifetime hasn't done this kind of thing -

Moreover, Duan Xiangning, who was forcibly pushed down by him, didn't hate him at all now.

Even recalling the feeling of being brutally raped by that scoundrel, Li, she had a sense of sweetness.

Could it be that all beautiful women don't know what true sweetness is unless they are raped by a man

Who knows.

Now when Duan Xiangning recalls that past, which should have been unbearable to look back on, she feels like she's drunk honey and can't help but smile.

Click.

A slight sound broke Xiangning's sweet memories.

Wang Xu appeared at the door, whispered something to the person outside, and then walked in.

The position Duan Xiangning currently occupies is the headquarters of the Dali Military Region.

Within the headquarters, there might be temporary detention rooms, or even solitary confinement cells, but Duan Xiangning wasn't held in either of those places.

This is a small conference room at headquarters, with just three small couches and a small round table, suitable for only three people to have a secret meeting here.

After being brought to the headquarters, Duan Xiangning was not treated as a major criminal, mainly because of her identity.

Of course, if it's confirmed that she leaked top-secret military intelligence, she'll have a hard time in the future.

Do you really think Wang Xu and the others are fools, unable to see that she's taking the blame for Duan Chu

All the members of the Duan family were in a state of panic and couldn't sleep well. Unlike them, Duan Xiangning fell asleep soundly after being brought to the conference room.

She had never felt so useful.

She is undoubtedly proud and pleased to be the scapegoat now.

Li Nanfang must have cursed her a fool in his heart.

"I'm such a fool. If I wasn't a fool, how could I still love you devotedly after being forced to do things with you, and willingly serve you perfectly"

In her dream, Duan Xiangning retorted triumphantly after being scolded as a fool by Li Nanshan for pointing at her nose.

As for that fool, what kind of ending she'll have, she doesn't care.

When a woman is feeling hot-headed, how many of them actually care what the outcome will be

With a click, the light came on.

Having stayed in the darkness for too long, Duan Xiangning subconsciously raised her hand to shield her eyes.

Like the nympho aunt, please collect: () The nymphomaniac aunt updates the fastest.a. I won't give up on my ideals!" Li Xiangting said resolutely, she seemed to have already gotten used to Ye Fan calling her that.Ye Fan sighed. Since she was unwilling to leave Linhai, he must protec...
