Zhou Family Mansion.
"Trouble! Master, there's big trouble!"
Zhou Jishan barged into the main hall of the Zhou family, disregarding family etiquette, and knelt down with a plop.
His face was pale, his eyes filled with panic, and his voice trembled with fear as he spoke.
The family head, Zhou Xu, was seated in the hall, contemplating the current situation and future plans.
Hearing Zhou Jishan's exclamation, he felt a bit dissatisfied and focused his gaze on the trembling Zhou Jishan.
He frowned slightly and said, "What has made you so flustered? Speak!"
Zhou Jishan, still kneeling on the ground, spoke haltingly due to his fear, "Master... the fifth young Master went to carry out the order to kill the Chief Officer of the Guardian Martial Department, that Shen fellow, but unexpectedly, who would have thought..."
At this point, Zhou Jishan's eyes turned incredibly red, and large tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, showing his deep sorrow.
