Chapter 164 Re-mastering

Under Yun Junyu's cold gaze, Wen Renxin felt as if he were on the edge of a knife. He tried to calm his inner turmoil, but the uneasiness surged like a tide, difficult to suppress. He pondered over and over, "If this plan fails, will I have any way out?"

Yin Ce noticed Wen Renxin's hesitation, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. "Wen Renxin, you are no longer the prefect of Nanyang. There is no turning back now. Instead of hesitating, we should go all out. The unrest of the refugees is our best opportunity to regain control of Nanyang Prefecture."

Wen Renxin looked up at Yin Ce and wondered, "Are you all a little overconfident about all this?" Although he didn't dare to speak directly, he could sense the dangerous tacit understanding between Yun Junyu and Yin Ce. The silent room was filled with only the faint sound of breathing, and a repressive atmosphere enveloped everyone.

At this moment, Qian Dajin suddenly stood up, his expression anxious and his voice trembling. "Third Prince, Xinglong Bank has been closed down by Wen Yuan, and I have almost no funds to continue supporting it. If this operation fails, we will all be completely destroyed."

A hint of coldness flashed in Yun Junyu's eyes. He glanced at Qian Dajin and said with disdain, "Boss Qian, don't you understand? This operation not only concerns me personally, but also your future. If I can take back Nanyang Prefecture, the wealth and status you lost will be restored. What you are worried about now is just a temporary difficulty."

Wen Renxin felt even more depressed. He couldn't help but interrupt, "But if this is exposed, what will become of us? I've already lost my position as prefect. Am I going to let everyone else perish with me?"

Yun Junyu's expression instantly turned cold, his eyes filled with impatience. His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an irresistible sense of oppression: "Wen Renxin, if you want to survive, stop questioning. The plan has been launched, and we need action, not empty talk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there seemed to be a faint movement in the air, like the sound of wind passing by, or as if a vague unease in his heart was broken. An indescribable fear surged in Wen Renxin's heart, as if he was stepping towards an abyss from which there was no return. He subconsciously avoided Yun Junyu's gaze, but found that he had no choice.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps outside broke the silence in the room. The guard hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in breathlessly, looking nervous, as if something major was about to happen.

"Master, someone is nearby trying to track us!" The guard's voice was filled with uncontrollable fear, and the atmosphere instantly became more tense.

Yun Junyu frowned, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's: "Who is it?"

"Their identities haven't been confirmed yet, but their behavior is very suspicious. They seem to be searching for clues." The guard's face was full of anxiety.

Yin Ce chuckled softly, his eyes cold and grim: "In that case, why not just let them 'disappear'?"

Wen Renxin suddenly interrupted, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes: "Wait a minute, rash action will only attract more attention. We must be more cautious and not alert the enemy."

Yun Junyu's expression darkened, seeming dissatisfied with Wen Renxin's proposal. However, he knew that any rash action could complicate the situation. He stared at Wen Renxin coldly, his gaze as sharp as a knife. "Wen Renxin, caution can be a double-edged sword. Since you're worried about losing control, send someone to investigate the situation and confirm the other party's identity. If there's a threat, eliminate it immediately!"

The guards took their orders and left, but the tension in the room remained unrelieved. Everyone felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and the air seemed to be filled with an ominous foreboding.

Just then, a fierce argument erupted outside, as if someone was trying to enter Yinquan Residence. Wen Renxin frowned, his uneasiness growing even more intense. The guards hurried out, and a moment later, a panting young man pushed open the door, looking panicked and holding a letter in his hand.

"Master, there is urgent news!" The young man knelt down and presented the letter, his tone filled with panic and nervousness.

Yun Junyu took the letter, his eyes stern: "Tell me, what happened?"

The young man reported in a low voice, "The refugees outside the city have gathered. They plan to enter the city early tomorrow morning and cause a riot."

Upon hearing this, Yun Junyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile, his eyes flashing with arrogance. "Very good, this is exactly what I expected. The actions of the refugees will create chaos for us, and the Prince of Zhennan will inevitably be trapped in a quagmire. Tomorrow's unrest will be my opportunity to seize power."

A chill suddenly sank into Wen Renxin's heart. He knew that once the refugees entered the city, the situation would spiral out of control. Yun Junyu, however, remained confident, as if everything was under control. Wen Renxin understood that this wasn't just a battle of power, but a gamble of life and death. Everyone was drawn into it, unable to extricate themselves.

The atmosphere in the room froze once again, and everyone felt an invisible pressure approaching. The air was filled with unease and crisis, foreshadowing an impending storm. Everyone understood that tomorrow's turmoil would determine their fate. This was not just a struggle for power, but the ultimate showdown between life and death.
