NOVEL NEXT Chapter 185 On Mount An
However, the burly miner never had the chance.
Wang Ye's speed was like that of a ghostly shadow, and in the blink of an eye, he was at the miner's side.
With one hand, he grabbed the miner's wrist that was holding the gun, twisting forcefully.
Crack.
The sound of a bone breaking echoed.
Wang Ye had actually twisted off the very arm the burly miner was using to hold the gun!
The two barbarian warriors were no match for Wang Ye, let alone Yang Xi and the bodyguard by his side.
Their stance might have been a threat to Chen Li when Wang Ye wasn't around, but with Wang Ye present, it was impossible for them to cause any trouble.
In less than thirty seconds, Wang Ye had taken them down.
...
In the following days, a piece of news shocked the whole of Yun City!
And as it shook Yun City, it also trended in real-time on the hot search.
#The conduct of the Yuncheng Four Great Families' Family Heads leads to dissatisfaction among descendants, heirs of all four families 'rebel,' ousting the old Family Heads and planning to reform family traditions#
#The old wave is pushed by the new, each wave stronger than the last, the new Family Heads of the Four Great Families, offer public benefits at the outset of their appointment, bringing comfort to the people#
#When you're not up to par, even your sons and daughters may despise you, when you've done nothing but evil, the ones who ultimately take you down may very well be your own children#
Originally, from the beginning, such matters had been hot topics on the internet.
In these past days, under Li Ying's management, the popularity surrounding the Yuncheng Four Great Families had continued, with the heat only rising, never pausing.
Furthermore, when this news broke out, the four families also stirred the pot from behind the scenes, making it easy for the news to trend online.
Netizens who had seen these messages also began commenting:
"Incredible, I was feeling angry before at the conduct of the Four Great Families' Family Heads, they even threatened Master Wang and Director Xia, but I didn't expect their own descendants couldn't stand by and watch, removing them from their positions. It's truly gratifying, haha."
"This tells us that one must do good deeds because those who do evil are likely to be backstabbed by their own descendants."
"I was conflicted before as I really could give up the things from the Four Great Families for a while, but on second thought, despite my ability to give up on them temporarily, after all, they are the Four Great Families of Yun City, and many aspects of our lives are interconnected with them, vitally important. Now, I don't have to worry about it anymore, the Family Heads of the Four Families have changed, and since the change of leadership, their offerings have indeed been much more beneficial. I will always support the new Four Great Families!"
The netizens commented on the internet one after another, yet even they didn't know that what they thought was a very satisfying resolution was actually just an elaborate design by the Four Great Families from the beginning.
The Four Great Families had known from the outset what comments and reactions they would provoke at this time.
...
An Guest Residence.
This place, built by the Fang Family on Mount An, was a hotel with luxurious decor throughout.
From any room here, one could observe various sights in the sky.
It was a place to witness meteor showers, lunar eclipses, and other astronomical phenomena.
Each room even came equipped with an astronomical telescope.
Naturally, the price of staying here for one night was quite significant.
Fang Cunshan sat in the master seat, while the former Family Heads of the other three great families of the Four Great Families were all seated as guests.
Yang Xing.
Mei Yu.
He Guang.
Yang Xing's face was dark and gloomy, shrouded in a layer of haze because of the recent affair of appointing Yang Xin as the Master of the Yang Family, leaving his complexion rather unsightly.
Yang Xing always felt that there was something fishy about it.
But where the fishiness lay, even Yang Xing could not discern at the moment; he only felt very uncomfortable about it.
He Guang cast his gaze towards Fang Cunshan and said with a chuckle, "Master Fang, we haven't completely settled down yet, and you've called us here to holiday. Isn't that a bit hasty?"
"But it's good to rest for a while. Although changing the Family Head is just a matter of us moving behind the scenes, there are still many things to take care of. These past few days, I could say I have been quite overwhelmed, and now I finally get to rest," Mei Yu added.
Yang Xing remained silent.
Fang Cunshan smiled, "You don't have to call me Family Head anymore, the current Family Head is my granddaughter, Fang Feifei."
The three people showed a change in expression upon hearing "Fang Feifei" from Fang Cunshan's mouth.
Fang Cunshan watched their reactions, sipping tea from his cup gently, "You know, when one gets old, sometimes there's less to worry about, especially after stepping down from the position of Family Head. I actually feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders."
Upon hearing this remark from Fang Cunshan, all three of them slightly furrowed their brows.
Although Fang Cunshan was just expressing his thoughts, they sensed an ominous threat in his words.
"For the past few days, I haven't mentioned your attempts to deal with my granddaughter."
Fang Cunshan placed his cup firmly on the table, still with a smile on his face.
He looked as usual.
But within that smile, there was now a chill and ruthlessness.
Those emotions, which Fang Cunshan tried to hide in his smile, were too sharp to conceal.
Fang Cunshan continued, "Back when I was bedridden and became a vegetative person, I didn't want to die, but now that I'm retired and healthy, I've suddenly felt that health isn't all that important."
"You must be joking, Master Fang; health is still very important," they responded.
"Indeed, Master Fang, even though we've stepped down publicly, we've become the power behind the throne. We still have to lead our families forward," urged Mei Yu and He Guang.
As Fang Cunshan said this, a chilling sensation crept over them.
"There's no need for that. I trust my granddaughter's strength."
As he was talking, Fang Cunshan began unbuttoning his shirt.
The other three didn't pay much attention at first.
But when they saw what was underneath Fang Cunshan's buttons, their expressions changed in an instant, as they all stood up abruptly from their seats.
