The process of Ruan Yingxiu seizing power went so smoothly that even Qin Fang was surprised, although he was the one leading the charge from behind.

However, this was facilitated by Ruan Yingxiu's special status; after all, her biological father was the leader of the descendants of the Myanmar Expeditionary Force.

Or it could be said that it was entirely due to Ruan Wenzhong himself planting a huge risk, which he could suppress while alive, but upon his sudden death, this risk exploded under Qin Fang's intentional instigation, resulting in the current state of affairs.

Thus, everything has settled here, and while Ruan Yingxiu's status may not be entirely legitimate, it's not important as long as the established facts are formed.

Ruan Wenzhong had a strong grasp over his military forces. The Anlang Government had considered seizing power but no one dared, as it would have been a futile sacrifice.

His title of King of Northern Anlang was not given for nothing...

Now it's just a change of person, although Ruan Yingxiu's prestige in the military is far from Ruan Wenzhong's level, her supporters are numerous as she is seen as a goddess-like figure.

Added to this is the support of numerous officers among the descendants of the Myanmar Expeditionary Force in the army, anyone wanting to oppose must weigh their own worth before speaking.

"Father…"

Just as everything settled down, a cry of anguish echoed from outside, so piercing it made everyone's skin crawl.

There are only a few people left in the Ruan Family, with both Ruan Wenzhong and Ruan Youlin gone; now only Ruan Yingxiu and Ruan Yingmei remain.

With Ruan Yingxiu right here, that loud voice outside was undoubtedly Ruan Yingmei, known as Ruan Erjie, a rare gem.

She seemed to arrive slightly late, as Ruan Wenzhong's death was too sudden without prior warning.

From the moment she got the news, her rush to the hospital wasn't actually slow...

Ruan Yingxiu, surrounded by many, immediately walked out to meet her.

"Second Sister…"

The two sides collided in the hospital corridor, and upon seeing Ruan Yingxiu, Ruan Erjie's eyes practically bulged out, full of disbelief.

In particular, she noticed that Ruan Yingxiu was followed by numerous officers at various ranks from the military, as well as her father Ruan Wenzhong's personal guards.

Facing these people, the words that were about to spill from Ruan Erjie's mouth suddenly halted, as she faintly realized something.

Actually, she wasn't alone; she had brought quite a few people, including young military officers with whom she had shared intimate moments, promoted by her afterward...

But these individuals were elevated through connections, or more accurately, loose belt strings, with very little real prowess and were at the lowest rung, not even acknowledged by some sturdy soldiers!

Standing in front of Ruan Yingxiu's officers, their momentum was instantly diminished, losing even the courage to raise their heads.

No matter what, Ruan Yingxiu's officers, though they varied in rank, had undeniable influence and prestige in the military.

This was Ruan Wenzhong's helpless move back then; those truly fearless in battle were descendants of the Myanmar Expeditionary Force, while the Anlang locals were backstabbers when it came to fighting, so he had mixed feelings about them.

Unable to overly rely, nor suppress them too harshly, he ended up with mid-ranking officers predominantly from them...

When Ruan Wenzhong was alive there were no issues, but now deceased, these middle officers cause trouble, and few dare to utter a word against them.

Regarding any disturbances, even the high-ranking generals might struggle to mobilize many…

"Little sister, you're here too..."

Seeing the scene before her, Ruan Erjie wasn't foolish and vaguely understood what's happening, forcing an extremely awkward smile onto her ugly face, greeting Ruan Yingxiu cleverly.

Ruan Erjie couldn't assert herself now; her greatest reliance was her father Ruan Wenzhong, but now he is dead, and the soldiers support Ruan Yingxiu as the new King of Northern Anlang...

While jealousy consumed her, she wisely chose silence!

Ruan Yingxiu wasn't her biological sister, and due to Li Yaonan's death, Ruan Wenzhong personally ordered her thrown into the water prison, which was almost a death sentence.

However, Ruan Yingxiu suddenly appeared at this moment, which clearly explained the problem...

Generally speaking, Ruan Erjie would definitely claim that Ruan Wenzhong was killed by Ruan Yingxiu. She could easily demand that Ruan Wenzhong's old troops arrest Ruan Yingxiu, or even shoot her, and then bid for herself as the new Queen...

But Ruan Erjie wasn't stupid enough to do that. Compared to the reputation of their sisterhood, she is certainly notorious enough that many would love nothing more than to see her dead.

Jumping out to cause trouble at this time would absolutely not benefit her in any way...

This is evident from the stance of the officers around Ruan Yingxiu; many had their hands on their guns, seemingly just waiting for Ruan Yingxiu's order to open fire on Ruan Erjie's side.

"Mm! Father...passed away!"

Looking at this exceptionally ugly woman, Ruan Yingxiu's emotions were extremely complicated, not knowing how to deal with her.

Ruan Erjie counted as the last bloodline of the Ruan Family, and logically, should be eliminated to prevent any future trouble...

The problem is, with over a decade of acquaintance, although their relationship was far from harmonious, there was still some affection. Besides, Ruan Yingxiu wasn't evil enough to disregard human life to that extent, naturally she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"You should go see him..."

In the end, Ruan Yingxiu couldn't bring herself to act, slightly shifting her position to make way for Ruan Erjie to go in and see the deceased Ruan Wenzhong.

Ruan Erjie didn't say much, just lowered her head and walked inside alone, her corpulent body moving slowly, appearing exceptionally desolate.

She knew she was no longer the Ruan Family's Second Miss who could call the shots in Luo City...

Ruan Yingxiu didn't linger long at the hospital, just glanced deeply at Ruan Erjie, and then immediately headed to the military camp.

Though most mid-level officers and Ruan Wenzhong's elite guards supported her becoming the new King of Northern Anlang, this was still a decision made in private, and the army knew nothing about it.

Going over there now was to quell all rumors within the army, or to formally announce this news, and also to resolve some unnecessary troubles in advance.

With a group of people surrounding Ruan Yingxiu, no one noticed the seemingly ordinary man who followed her the entire time, appearing to be her personal guard.

This person was, of course, Qin Fang.

With Ruan Wenzhong's death, Qin Fang naturally could "come back" to life.

Many people knew Qin Fang was Ruan Yingxiu's personal guard. Even though there was a scene of Ruan Youlin leading men to capture him, with Ruan Yingxiu now in charge, previous matters naturally no longer mattered.

No one knew what role Qin Fang played in this, although many suspected the sudden deaths of Ruan Youlin and Ruan Wenzhong were closely related to Ruan Yingxiu, no one dared to say it...

In fact, even Ruan Wenzhong's personal guards found it unlikely, as they had almost witnessed the sudden deaths of the father and son themselves.

Leaving aside Ruan Wenzhong; just talking about Ruan Youlin's bizarre method of death had been confirmed by the coroner as due to an extremely rare toxin, which had no relation to Sorcery, ruling out Ruan Yingxiu's suspicion...

Besides, Ruan Yingxiu had been thrown into the Water Prison by Ruan Wenzhong and wasn't even able to approach Ruan Youlin...

With the support of these mid-level officers, Ruan Yingxiu's ascension became much easier. The soldiers in the army mainly supported her, especially since they didn't really have any say.

However, there were many discordant voices among some Advanced officers and generals. These voices were swiftly silenced before they formed any scale.

Sometimes, strong power requires bloodshed to complete, as was the case with this transition of power.

With Qin Fang as a human lie detector beside her, he could discern who was speaking truthfully and who was only feigning allegiance...

Those higher-up generals causing trouble or not complying with Ruan Yingxiu's rule tried to plot some small actions in secret, but Qin Fang exposed them completely before they could start preparing.

At this time, Ruan Yingxiu didn't hold back at all, displaying a Queen's demeanor and using the most thunderous measures to completely quash such crises.

Even the root of such crises was killed at the same time...

In this respect, she strongly resembled Ruan Wenzhong; she didn't dare to show even a hint of slack or mercy towards such potential threats...

Otherwise, once such threats formed any scale, even with her strong control, it could still cause a great many unnecessary losses! (To be continued.
