Chapter 667: Decision
Chapter 667: Decision
Zhang Dan Shui looked at his younger half brother.
The same annoying person who bullied him continuously when he was young. It was also because of the prank from Zhang Dan Shang that he managed to meet with the very person who helped him out.
Fate worked in the strangest way.
But it was also the best way for him.
"I know that Zhang Family is not like that right now, but who could say whether they could stay the same in the future or not." Zhang Dan Shui shrugged. "I liked to make sure that everything is settled in the clear way, so please forgive my blunt way, Young Master Zhang."
Zhang Dan Shang's body trembled.
He looked at the person in front of him with both anger and helplessness. For the first time, he realized that when Zhang Dan Shui really wanted to go against him, Zhang Dan Shang wouldn't be able to even talk back.
In the past, Zhang Dan Shui would not refute him and merely lowered his head. At that time, Zhang Dan Shang would happily make fun of his half brother whom he looked down upon.
But now, things had completely changed.
"You…"
"It's going to be sunset soon, Young Master Zhang. I wouldn't want to stay too long in front of your house as it wouldn't be appropriate. If there's anything else you would like to say, there is still morning court tomorrow." Zhang Dan Shui smiled and cupped his fist.
He kept on his distance and always stayed polite.
But his every words and move blocked whatever Zhang Dan Shang was planning to do. This caused Zhang Dan Shang to feel to vexed yet he couldn't do anything.
Staying still on his place, Zhang Dan Shang watched as Zhang Dan Shui left with the carriage.
'He's…'
Zhang Dan Shang's fingers were clasped so tightly to form a fist. His nail embedded deeply into his flesh, breaking the skin and blood poured out.
He's angry.
He's infuriated.
But he couldn't do anything.
Being an official and had been working in the palace for so many years, Zhang Dan Shang was not completely stupid. He knew that there were a lot of people who were watching his movement. His enemies were already waiting for him to make a joke out of himself and pushed him down.
The battle in the palace has always been very dirty.
And Zhang Dan Shang didn't want to lose his career because he lost control of his emotion like this.
He's no longer a child who would cry when he couldn't get a candy.
After taking a deep breath, Zhang Dan Shang turned around and entered Zhang Family Residence. He hoped that his father knew how to deal with this annoying older half brother of his.
He couldn't stand the sight of Zhang Dan Shui at all.
…
"Fiuh…"
Zhang Dan Shui rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit tired because of the farce in Zhang Family. He didn't really want to deal with this, but he knew that if he did nothing, this would be a stumbling block for his career in the future.
If he didn't handle it well, he wouldn't be able to stay in his position.
"The report that you tell me last night… release them all."
The officials under Dark Moon Organization was not only Zhang Dan Shui. There were a few others who worked for them because of several reasons. Some were in debt because of the mission they issued while some others were desperate and chose to enter.
Right now, Zhang Dan Shui was not working alone against Zhang Family.
Swish!
The faint sound of wind entered his ear and Zhang Dan Shui relaxed a bit. He looked outside and noticed that the sky turned red.
The custom when visiting other people's residence was that they didn't stay until it was late at night. If they were to cross the sunset, sometimes it would be hard to avoid other people talking about them.
After all, it was usually already time for them to rest.
"The Zhang Family will be no more." Zhang Dan Shui took a deep breath and kept on watching as the red sky slowly turned dark. It was a beautiful sight, but it was rare for him to have the time to fully appreciate it.
With his tasks given from Nan Hua, Zhang Dan Shui had been racing against time.
Now, he had fulfilled it.
This didn't mean that he didn't have any other tasks, but Zhang Dan Shui could indeed take a short break.
The corner of his lips curled up to form a smile.
"Thank you," in the quiet night, Zhang Dan Shui whispered quietly.
…
>Nan Shu Cheng's Residence, Nan Hua's Quarter<
Nan Hua was originally planning to sleep directly after she had finished dealing with the assassins in the palace. But looking at the report given by her subordinate, she noticed that Zhang Dan Shui was planning on completely eradicating the Zhang Family.
'The relationship between the two parties is now clear.'
Reading the report, Nan Hua knew more or less what Zhang Dan Shui and his mother did in Zhang Family Residence. They chose to ruthlessly cut off their connection with Zhang Family and announced it to the world.
In fact, Zhang Dan Shui actually already cut off his relationship from five years ago.
But back then, Zhang Dan Shui didn't dare to announce it. After all, Zhang Family was powerful and Official Zhang would hate him if he didn't give them any face at all.
Now, he no longer need to fear the Zhang Family.
As himself, he's already powerful.
"Deal with it in the way he wants it." Nan Hua put the bamboo strip and threw her instruction out.
She didn't really care about how Zhang Dan Shui wanted to treat the Zhang Family. Some people still cared for family affection, some people didn't care at all, and some others were simply too soft.
Whatever his decision is, Nan Hua wouldn't interfere.
Afterwards, Nan Hua closed her eyes to sleep.
She's really tired.
