Chapter 138: It's the Enemy!
Wang Ye's status in Tan Long's heart had risen sharply.
The more Tan Long imagined about Wang Ye, the more impressive it became.
He even imagined Wang Ye as a war god-like figure who, upon returning, would see his daughter living in a kennel and with a single command, bring back a million soldiers.
His entire demeanor while walking had also become completely different from before.
Previously, although Tan Long was called Brother Long by his underlings and mixed well in Yun City, he walked with a sense of restraint and inferiority because he had been driven out by the Tan Family.
But now, that sense of restraint and inferiority had vanished, and he had transformed immensely.
Because he knew that the person behind him was Wang Ye!
Just then,
Tan Long encountered Tan Xu walking towards him.
In the whole of Xi County, there weren't many good hotels, and Tan Xu had chosen his accommodation here for the night.
Upon seeing Tan Long, Tan Xu began to mock, "Oh, isn't this the dog that was kicked out by the Han Family? Walking so proudly, did the dog find a new master?"
If it had been before, Tan Long would have definitely quarreled with Tan Xu upon hearing these words.
But now, Tan Long didn't even feel like arguing with Tan Xu.
After all, Tan Long believed that in the coming time, Wang Ye would lead him back to the Tan Family and make him the new Family Head.
At that time,
Just Tan Xu alone would be nothing in his presence.
Engaging with Tan Xu here was simply unnecessary.
Therefore,
Tan Long didn't respond to Tan Xu and simply walked away.
Watching Tan Long walk away without a word, Tan Xu spat in his direction and sneered dismissively, "This dog, who does he think he's met lately that he dares to treat me with such attitude?"
"Leaving the Tan Family has even lowered his sense of perception. How pitiful."
...
In Wang Ye's room,
Wang Ye began to sort out the clues of the day.
Actually, Wang Ye didn't need to visit the bar personally; he could have just reported the location to Liu Na, and she could have directly sent someone to take away the representatives from the minor forces and families.
Wang Ye's purpose in going there himself was to see how many people from the major families were involved in this matter.
However, merely relying on Wang Ye alone, he wasn't well-acquainted with these major families, and even if he saw people, he wouldn't know which family they represented.
Therefore, Wang Ye called Su Wanqing to his room.
After the events of the previous night, Su Wanqing felt very secure about Wang Ye and went directly to his room.
"Do you know which families the representatives who came to the bar tonight are from?"
The minor forces and families, upon hearing this news from the Wang Family, might have had someone intentionally spread this information; they might not truly understand what had happened at the Wang Family at that time.
Wang Ye also asked Liu Na to help, to take these people away and inquire about these minor forces and families.
And for those involved in this event from the major powers and major families, Wang Ye felt they must know something.
So, the next step was to find the representatives from these major families and forces to see if he could get any clues from them.
When Wang Ye told Su Wanqing what he wanted to know, Su Wanqing simply thought for a moment and then directly named all the major families present.
"The families involved in this event include the Tan Family from the provincial government, the He Family from Yun City, the Yang Family from Yun City, the Mei Family from Yun City, and the Fang Family from Yun City."
"The Mei Family is also one of the four great families of Yun City."
Su Wanqing continued, looking at Wang Ye, "This means that just for this event concerning the Wang family, all four great families of Yun City have made their moves. All the great families of Yun City want to share a piece of the Wang family's interests, although the motive of the Fang Family is still unclear."
"After all, the goal of Fang Cunshan might be to divide the benefits of the Fang Family; on the other hand, it might be to use what belongs to the Wang family to make you work for him."
Su Wanqing looked at Wang Ye.
Wanting to see how Wang Ye would choose next.
Would he continue to pursue the investigation into the disappearance of the Wang family back then?
An event involving the interests of the Wang family has entangled all four great families of Yun City.
This means that if Wang Ye continues to investigate matters related to the Wang family, he would likely have to face all four great families of Yun City as enemies.
Su Wanqing scrutinized Wang Ye's expression.
However, she noticed that Wang Ye appeared indifferent and said, "Alright, I understand, the four great families, right?"
"Fang Family... that old demon Fang Cunshan, though ostensibly on my side, has been using me from the start to do his bidding. In his eyes, I'm just a pawn."
Wang Ye mused for a moment before speaking, "Since that is the case, it means that all four great families of Yun City are my enemies!"
Although Fang Feifei has indeed been good to him, Wang Ye still decisively categorized the Fang Family as an opposing family.
After all, Fang Feifei does not represent the entire Fang Family.
The true representative of the Fang Family is its current head, Fang Cunshan!
Upon hearing Wang Ye's declaration, Su Wanqing was somewhat surprised by his choice.
She did not expect Wang Ye, when designating his enemies, to be so resolute.
Although Fang Cunshan has been using Wang Ye, there had been potential to win him over, yet after pondering, Wang Ye straightforwardly marked the Fang Family as adversaries.
Is Fang Cunshan an adversary?
He counts!
Yet, Wang Ye's firm and resolute attitude still shocked Su Wanqing; just on this point alone, Wang Ye had shown much more resolution than her own grandfather.
Wang Ye was here with Su Wanqing, organizing clues they had discovered during the day.
Little did they know, a stir was caused in Yun City due to Wang Ye's actions in the bar today.
Yang Family.
Yang Xing.
Yang Xing hung up a phone call from Xi County, his expression somewhat grave.
Initially, it was Yang Junsheng from the Yang Family who went after Wang Ye and was dealt with by him.
The person who went to avenge Yang Junsheng was Zhou Tianhao, but he was also taken down by Wang Ye using some tactics.
Yang Junsheng had even discussed with Dean Jiang how to deal with Wang Ye.
Today, however, he got news that Wang Ye's background and strength might not be as simple as they appear.
It's well-known even Tan Xu, when Wang Ye took his place, said nothing at all.
This leads one to ponder deeply.
Does Wang Ye have another identity?
At this point, rushing Dean Jiang to act might pose a problem.
