CHAPTER 425: CHAPTER 424: STALLING FOR TIME

Wang Qianyu arrived quickly, and it wasn’t until Yun Ran got into the car that she realized he had somehow managed to clear a direct path to the Wang Family Mansion.

But at this time, it was clearly rush hour, and at this moment, the power of the Wang Family was made concrete.

Under normal circumstances, the journey would take two hours, but now it took less than an hour.

As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Wang Family Mansion was located, a dense wall of people directly blocked their way, making it impossible for the car to proceed.

Wang Qianyu’s face was grim, clearly realizing something. As he mobilized people to clear the obstacles, the other members of the Wang Family evidently received the news at the same time.

If the people coming this time were still the likes of the chief steward, even if it came to an ugly confrontation, Wang Qianyu, as the ninth youngster of the direct lineage, at least had the nominal advantage.

But now, the person standing in front of the human wall was actually Wang Mian’s full-blooded elder brother, Wang Dao, the second master of the Wang Family, who became estranged and hostile to Wang Mian over a woman.

"Is this person’s identity very tricky?"

Noticing Wang Qianyu’s entire demeanor was off, Yun Ran finally asked.

"This is my second uncle, Wang Dao. He’s a mortal enemy with my third uncle, wishing nothing more than to tear each other to pieces. He’s from the old madam’s side."

In just a few words, it was clear that the situation was indeed grim.

The sky was a bit dark, and although Yun Ran’s vision was good, she still couldn’t completely see Wang Dao’s face.

Yet, even sitting in the car, she could sense the murderous intent emanating from the human wall opposite, leaving no doubt that they came with ill intentions.

"I’ll get out first. You stay in the car and don’t move."

Wang Qianyu directly opened the car door and walked over right in front of Wang Dao.

A loud slap landed on Wang Qianyu’s face, forcefully sending his tall stature of over 185 cm flying heavily onto the ground.

Seeing this, Yun Ran couldn’t help but gasp, not needing to experience it to imagine how painful that slap must have been.

However, this didn’t concern her much. After all, Wang Qianyu didn’t ask for her help, so she just watched. It’s best not to get involved in internal family matters.

"Host, do you think the reason for slapping Wang Qianyu was what? Could it be that they’re so brazenly wanting Wang Mian dead?"

"What else could it be? Surely there’s a reason that can be exaggerated. By the way, aren’t you good at lip-reading? Can’t you see for yourself?"

Ginsengfruit: ...

Sigh, the host really doesn’t indulge him anymore.

Thinking this inwardly, Ginsengfruit’s eyes gleamed; the dark night couldn’t obstruct his vision.

Ginsengfruit observed while narrating: "How dare you so recklessly mobilize Wang Family’s power to clear obstacles, aren’t you afraid of giving others something to hold against Wang Family.

Today, I will use the family’s rules to properly show you, a reckless person, what it means to follow rules..."

Wang Qianyu didn’t know whether it was the heavy blow of the slap or something else, but he didn’t respond for a while, lying on the ground without getting up.

"Host, Wang Qianyu isn’t dead from the slap, is he? Sigh, human bodies are indeed so fragile~"

Ginsengfruit’s voice was obviously laced with a bit of schadenfreude, and if there were another outsider present, they’d probably think Ginsengfruit was an undercover agent for someone else.

"Host, that person called Wang Dao said he’s going to bring in the family laws, Wang Qianyu’s in trouble, he’s going to be locked in the ancestral hall, might he die in there?"

Yun Ran sensed a faint battle intent emanating from Ginsengfruit and shot a glance that immediately silenced him.

"In an aristocratic family, to stand out, one must be either extremely pampered, with powerful backing, or possess extraordinary attributes.

Wang Qianyu clearly has both, such a person is full of cunning; instead of worrying about him, you should worry for yourself, lest you get deceived someday!"

Ginsengfruit instantly puffed up in anger, expressing his dissatisfaction; who’s capable of deceiving him, who dares!

Yun Ran seldom said more, conclusively stating, "He’s stalling for time. If Wang Dao and his men came directly to knock him out and drag him away, we would be in a lot of trouble.

But now, Wang Dao and his men have missed the best opportunity, and people from Wang Mian’s side will soon counterattack."

In fact, Yun Ran was right; someone like Wang Qianyu, young as he was, already held considerable power, couldn’t possibly be reckless in his actions.

Upon receiving Yun Ran’s call, he had already contacted those from Uncle Zhou’s side, meaning his real-time location was visible to people within the compound.

He was indeed stalling for time; by now, Uncle Zhou and his people should have realized things were amiss.

Wang Dao signaled to his men to drag Wang Qianyu away.

This time, they had rightful cause, and having finally caught a chance, they naturally wanted to pin down Wang Qianyu, fearing he might continue causing trouble.

"Go and drag the person in the car out for me too. I want to see who has been misleading our Wang Family youth to be so unruly, daring to abuse family power!"

As Wang Dao’s voice faded, someone immediately headed toward the car, as if they were about to dismantle the vehicle, extremely menacing.

Lying on the ground pretending to be severely injured, Wang Qianyu suddenly became anxious, never imagining that his second uncle would act so unethically.

Charging him with abusing family power right off the bat,

And even trying to implicate Yun Ran, putting her in the position of a scapegoat, afraid that they won’t sufficiently offend Yun Ran.

Ginsengfruit used lip reading to relay Wang Dao’s words.

Only then he leisurely said, "Host, I never thought there’d be a day you’d barge into the likes of Bao Si and Daji’s track~"

Yun Ran: ...

Ha ha, at least Bao Si truly fooled and played with the dukes of her time. She is utterly innocent, even unjust ice of June can’t compare to her grievance.

Yun Ran pulled out the Jade Token housing Mo Zhi: "If we can’t physically deal with them, let’s throw some obstacles their way!"

Already eager and ready, itching to put up a fierce fight, the Ghost General immediately extended a head.

Mo Zhi, with her back to Yun Ran, gazed at those approaching the car with a sinister ghostly smile.

Such audacity from each of them, daring to lay hands on the master, mistaking her for a lifeless entity!

Uh, hold on, she is indeed deceased, but that’s not the point.

As the suburban hill became gradually obscure with descending darkness, fog easily began to appear.

Mo Zhi didn’t directly drift out of the car; she staunchly remembered the master’s words, not to lightly make contact with humans.

She blew some breaths toward the advancing people, and where scenes were initially visible, mist suddenly rose in the air.
