Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

Chapter 399: The Collapse and Revenge of Corruption

The forces of corruption are like a deep-seated cancer, seemingly calm on the surface, yet surging beneath the surface. As the court's investigation deepened, the evil deeds of corrupt officials finally surfaced, and cracks began to appear in this vast power. Some officials were forced to flee, losing their former arrogance and prestige in the panic; others were brought to justice and received the punishment they deserved.

But for the remnants of these forces, this is not the end. The behemoths that have lost their power still exist, hiding in the corners of the city, secretly planning how to fight back.

They will not let Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan go easily. After all, in their eyes, Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan are just "outsiders" who challenge the dignity of this once powerful family. The remnants of these corrupt forces are quietly plotting revenge, vowing to make Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan pay for everything they have done.

However, their revenge plan is destined to encounter an extraordinary force - the team of Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan. After many trials and tribulations, they have become more than just a team, but an indestructible collective. The tacit understanding and trust between them have reached a level that their enemies can't imagine.

Omens and Warnings

Ye Wan never stopped vigilantly monitoring her team. From the moment the imperial court announced the start of its investigation into corrupt officials, she knew a counterattack from corrupt forces was inevitable. After all, how could a power that controlled nearly all wealth and power willingly allow itself to collapse in an instant? Therefore, she had long since strengthened her team's defenses and vigilance through various means.

Xie Linchuan was no different. Although he appeared calm and composed, he knew the most difficult battle lay ahead. The imperial court's investigation was only the first step, and it wouldn't shake the corrupt forces much. What would truly determine victory or defeat was Ye Wan's team's perseverance and their response to the remnants of these forces.

"Ye Wan," Xie Linchuan found her one night, his eyes deep, "the remnants of these corrupt forces are ready to make a move. They will never sit idly by and watch their fate be rewritten."

Ye Wan nodded, a hint of worry in her eyes. "Yes, Xie Linchuan. We must be extra careful. These people are ruthless and will not give up easily just because of the court's trial."

"We are ready, aren't we?" Xie Linchuan smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Ye Wan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth into a confident smile: "Yes, we are ready."

The two exchanged a knowing glance, knowing that the road ahead would still be full of difficulties, but there was no turning back. Unity and faith would become their most powerful weapons.

Attack Coming

As expected, over the next few days, Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan sensed the enemy's approach. Spies within the team reported that remnants of corrupt forces were beginning to take action, attempting to sabotage their plans. One group even began planning an attack against Ye Wan's team, attempting to disrupt their plans in one fell swoop.

"Be prepared," Xie Linchuan's deep voice echoed in the tent late at night, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's. "The enemy's target is us. We can't let our guard down this time."

Ye Wan nodded, calmly analyzing the situation. "If the enemy wants to take action, they must see us as a threat. We must act quickly to seize the initiative."

"I will personally direct the defense," Xie Linchuan said, his eyes full of confidence. "The faster they come, the harder we will hit them."

Ye Wan smiled slightly and patted his shoulder: "I believe you."

They were no longer the unknown team they had been before, but a resilient force forged through trials and tribulations. At this moment, all doubts and hesitations had vanished, leaving only the determination to give it their all.

The following night, as expected, the enemy attack arrived. Several enemy groups quietly lurked around Ye Wan's team, preparing to destroy their command center through a surprise attack. However, they underestimated Ye Wan's team's vigilance and preparation.

Team Counterattack

Ye Wan commanded the team under the moonlight at night, her composure helping her make quick decisions. She knew the enemy would only attack at their most vulnerable moment, so she and Xie Linchuan had already prepared a thorough defense.

"Follow my command, all teams, get in position!" Ye Wan calmly gave the order, quickly mobilizing every team member. She knew that this battle would determine the team's future, and her decision would affect everyone's fate.

Xie Linchuan led his personal guards to set up an ambush at the most critical location. As soon as the enemy showed a flaw, they would immediately attack and give the enemy a fatal blow.

The battle begins.

The enemy assassins approached silently from the shadows, hoping to strike at night and achieve a surprise attack. However, they had no idea that Ye Wan's team had already laid out layers of defense. Every move was a carefully calculated confrontation. One by one, the enemies fell into Ye Wan's trap, leaving them with almost no chance to fight back.

In the fierce battle, Xie Linchuan quickly commanded his team to hit the target with one strike. Each of his strikes was full of power, putting the enemy under overwhelming pressure. Some of the enemy began to panic due to the sudden and powerful counterattack.

"Retreat! Retreat!" The enemy commander, feeling the pressure, began to order a retreat, but it was too late. Ye Wan's team's siege was as fierce as a beast, and their every move caught the enemy off guard.

In the end, the counterattack of the corrupt forces failed after a fierce confrontation. The team led by Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan not only successfully defended their own safety, but also wiped out the enemy and completely eradicated the remaining corrupt forces.

The enemy's collapse and defeat finally gave the people a glimmer of hope. The long-oppressed people began to emerge in droves, expressing their gratitude to Ye Wan's team. Their lives began to slowly improve, and they, once helpless, finally found support.

"This is all thanks to you." The people said gratefully, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan stood before the crowd, their gazes firm and far-sighted. They knew that while the forces of corruption had been defeated, the struggle was far from over. Next, they had to continue leading the people toward a better tomorrow and promoting social reform and progress.

"We have gone through the most difficult times. Next, it is time for us to create a better life for the people." Ye Wan's voice was sonorous and powerful, and there was a determination in her eyes.

Xie Linchuan gently held her hand, his eyes full of tacit understanding and trust: "Let's go together and never look back."
