The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 258 Sun Jian and Sun Ce disappeared

"What did you say, Dad and brother are missing?"

Ah Xiang covered her mouth in disbelief. When Sun Quan told her the news, it was like a bolt from the blue.

"That's right. After discovering my father and eldest brother were missing, I immediately sent people to search all over Jiangdong, but I couldn't find any trace of them. I think this is most likely a conspiracy against us by our hostile forces, so I came to the training ground to reorganize the troops and prevent those with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack us in Jiangdong!"

Sun Quan looked at Sun Shangxiang who was in a daze in front of him, waved his hands in front of her a few times, and brought her back to her senses.

"Are you listening?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm listening!"

Sun Shangxiang's brows were almost twisted together. In Jiangdong, and in their Sun family, who had the ability to make her father and elder brother disappear for no reason?

"Second brother, describe the scene of the disappearance of dad and eldest brother that day!"

Hearing Sun Shangxiang speak, Sun Quan couldn't help but sigh, and then began to tell what happened that day.

"That day, my father called us into his room and said that your 18th birthday was approaching and he wanted us to prepare a wonderful surprise for you. At that time..."

————Sun Quan’s memory line————

"After this birthday, Ah Xiang will be 18 years old. How many times can a girl be 18 years old? So we must leave her with an unforgettable memory!"

Sun Jian was sitting on the office chair, with Sun Quan and Sun Ce standing side by side in front of him.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll take care of my sister's birthday party!"

Sun Ce smiled happily. He thought that his interpersonal relationships in Jiangdong were pretty good. When the time came, he would gather all the major forces and families in Jiangdong, and the scene would definitely be lively!

"With Bo Fu here, I'm relieved about the guests at the birthday party!"

Sun Jian nodded. Whether it was his training of Sun Ce or the image of Sun Ce he created for the outside world, he always presented the label of being warm, kind, friendly and hospitable. Such a person can often win over many networks of relationships.

"Zhongmou, you'll need to pay more attention to the safety of Jiangdong, especially Yuan Shao from Runan University. Since our Ah Xiang is already in love with Liu Bei, and we've already investigated Liu Bei's power and decided to join forces with him, there's no need for unnecessary people to come!"

"Yes!"

Sun Quan understood what Sun Jian meant and nodded repeatedly.

"Leave the venue arrangements to me. I'm not young anymore, and it's time for me to step down. Ah Xiang's birthday party can be considered my last job!"

Sun Jian patted the armrest of his seat, then looked at Sun Ce with a gentle look.

"Time flies by, and my three children have grown up so much. From now on, the world will belong to you young people!"

Sun Jian stood up from his seat, walked between Sun Ce and Sun Quan, and put his hands on their shoulders.

"Zhongmou, you must assist your elder brother well in the future!"

"..."

Sun Quan's face was extremely pale. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and sadness and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Yes……"

Sun Jian seemed not to notice anything unusual about Sun Quan. He then talked to Sun Ce and allowed Sun Quan to leave.

Sun Quan left Sun Jian's room with difficulty, but he did not go far away. Instead, he chose to stay at the door and read the lip movements of the two people in the room through the cat's eye on the door.

"Ace, come here. Daddy needs to hand over some things to you first. This is our Sun family's asset report, and this cabinet contains the network and intelligence information we've collected over the years about the relationships between the world's forces and families. These will all become valuable aids in your control of Jiangdong in the future..."

Sun Quan watched outside the house with gritted teeth.

"why why?"

"Why, even though I tried so hard, did Father still choose to give the principal position to my eldest brother instead of me?"

Sun Quan was filled with grief. Everyone in Jiangdong had seen and remembered his efforts over the years. In order to take over the position of principal, he had stayed by Sun Jian's side day and night, helping him with his affairs while Sun Ce was out making friends.

While Sun Ce was out having fun, he was working.

While Sun Ce was fighting outside, he was working.

While Sun Ce was fooling around outside, he was still working.

……

Even at Ah Xiang's birthday party, Sun Ce was in charge of receiving the guests, while he could only take care of security. This left him no chance to win people's hearts...

Sun Quan couldn't help but feel resentful.

"If only...if only Big Brother could die...it would be even better if Father could die too...that way I could take over Jiangdong's work..."

As soon as this thought flashed through Sun Quan's mind, he immediately cursed himself in his heart. No matter how unscrupulous he was in doing things, he should not attack his family!

Sun Quan shook his head and shook off these bad thoughts. When he was about to leave, he found that Sun Jian's room was empty.

"Strange, where are they?"

Sun Quan opened his eyes wide with curiosity, trying to see more clearly through the cat's eye, but no matter how he moved his eyes, he could not find Sun Ce and Sun Jian in the room.

"Could it be that they have some other secrets?"

Sun Quan thought about it, came up with an excuse and pushed the door open.

"Father, regarding the issue of the troop strength for this garrison, I still have some questions..."

After Sun Quan walked into the room, he found that it was empty. Sun Jian and Sun Ce, who had been talking enthusiastically, seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and disappeared in the room.

.........

"Are you sure you've searched every corner of the room?"

"Of course, although my father's room is large, I've been in it before. There's absolutely no way anyone could be hiding there. Furthermore, the Sun family's house is heavily guarded by our numerous guards. Not even a fly could get in, let alone bypass the guards and quietly kidnap two of them!"

Sun Quan shook his head. At first, he suspected that there was a secret passage in Sun Jian's room, but after searching for a while, he ruled out this possibility. Even when he asked his uncle, who knew every room in the Sun family, big and small, he had never heard of any secret room or secret passage in the Sun family.

……

"You two are like this and you still want to be heroes and save the damsel in distress? Forget it!"

"I never thought such a beautiful lady would fall into our hands today! Diao Chan, we will love you dearly!"

"Hey! Ha! I've heard of Guan Yu and Lu Bu's fame for a long time. I thought they were so powerful, but I didn't expect they couldn't even beat me!"

"You still dare to block me? Kick me hard! If you kill me, it's my fault!"

In a bush, Lu Bu and Guan Yu were being beaten by a group of Yellow Turbans, while on the other side, three or four Yellow Turban bandits surrounded Diao Chan and couldn't help but touch her.

"Let her go! Don't touch her!"

"Diao Chan, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

Guan Yu and Lu Bu stood up and tried to break through the encirclement of the Yellow Turban bandits in front of them, but as soon as they stood up, they were kicked to the ground again and were beaten even more fiercely.

"Still trying to be a hero!"
