Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206: Not to the Point of Erasure

Jiang Chenyue’s chest felt as if it were being pressed down by a stone; her breathing became rapid and slightly labored. This was an old problem stemming from her depression; whenever her emotions became intense, her heart couldn’t catch up with the blood supply.

She placed one hand over her heart, waiting for the discomfort to pass. Her face was pallid as she took the cup held up to her, and cradling the cup, she bowed her head and took a sip of water. The cool, pure water soothed her throat and greatly alleviated the stifling oppression on her chest. Her expression eased slightly and her complexion seemed a bit better than before. She returned the cup to Qin Jun, rubbed her swollen temples, and said, “A total wipeout isn’t necessary—Capital City isn’t our turf, we still need to be cautious in our actions and not let the Lin Family, Zhong Family, and Mo Family catch us off guard.”

“Especially the Mo Family, our conflicts have gotten more severe over the past two years. The sudden trip to Atlanta by your uncle was also due to their shady maneuvers behind the scenes. Your uncle must deal with the mole there, otherwise, our territory will be turned upside down, allowing them an opportunity to smuggle goods from our area.”

Qin Jun deeply detested the Mo Family, his face darkened with intense murderous intent, and he sneered coldly, “They dare! Uncle has given them too much face. If it were me, I would have already grabbed their people and made an example out of them to see if they’d still dare to stir trouble like rats underground! Of all the four major families, theirs is the least presentable, always engaging in crooked paths and taking unfair advantages.”

Jiang Chenyue clearly disliked the Mo Family as well, but she behaved much more maturely than Qin Jun, maintaining her composure even in aversion, “The Mo Family’s methods are indeed too despicable, and I suspect the woman who abducted Xixi originally was one of their people—we just don’t have evidence here. The four families explicitly forbid infighting, they’re clever, always conducting their mischief covertly, leaving no traces. We can’t lash out without concrete evidence, otherwise, we’ll appear as the sole aggressors violating the peace treaty—the other two families might not look kindly on us. We might handle one on one and proudly say we aren’t afraid! But what about one against three? Juner, two fists can’t win against four hands, without evidence, your uncle and I think it’s best to hold our forces back. Do you know about crocodiles?”

“Of course, there’s one in Chu Garden.”

Jiang Chenyue spoke unhurriedly, her red lips slightly parting, “Crocodiles aren’t the fastest animals, yet they are one of the top predators among animals, having survived even through the Jurassic period. It’s because they possess a unique characteristic—they can keep their cool! Sometimes, for a single prey, they might squat for ten days or half a month, even if the prey walks by the water’s edge countless times, as long as it’s not within their absolute attack range, they can act as if blind, shutting their eyes in meditation until the prey steps in unwittingly.”

Her eyes were dark and profound, “Against an enemy, if you can’t kill with one strike, then it’s best not to attack at all. Remember that!”

—Against an enemy, if you can’t kill with one strike, then it’s best not to attack at all. Qin Jun’s mind jolted, his restless fury mostly dissipated, and his gaze returned to its usual concealed depth. He respectfully stood up, stood in front of her, half-closing his eyes, “I will remember, Aunt.”

“Good that you remember, no need to be so serious. I need to go out for a bit later, do you want to stay here or come with me?”
