Xue Yan and Chen Rong exchanged smiles. Wang Yue was not only their beloved nephew but also their little sweetheart now. The better he became, the happier they were.

Even Su Mengyan, who usually kept a detached attitude, felt a sense of satisfaction—after all, Wang Yue was her own biological son.

Huang Yuxiang added with a smile, "It seems that the Wang family really has a successor in the making. Mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about this anymore."

Liu Ruoshi nodded. "Yes, once Yue grows a few more years older, I can safely hand over the leadership of the Wang family to him. Although Xinru is also quite capable, her cultivation skills are still a bit lacking. For the leader of a martial family, having low cultivation levels can have a significant impact."

These words effectively set the direction for the future of the Wang family.

The Wang family already had a very harmonious atmosphere, and Chen Rong, being someone who avoided conflicts at all costs, had no objections at all to her mother-in-law handing over the family's power to the second branch of the family.

Moreover, since Wang Yue was her little sweetheart, she naturally favored him in her personal feelings.

As soon as Wang Yue returned to the training ground, he was immediately surrounded by seven beautiful women.

"Brother, where were you this morning?" Wang Xin'er, who was Wang Yue's twin sister, was particularly close to him. Now, with this additional bond, she seemed to want to be with him all the time.

At night, she had to keep some distance because she couldn't handle his… well, let's just say, his physical presence. But during the day, she longed to see him so much that just missing him for one morning made her extremely worried.

The other six women were simply out of curiosity—Liu Xinru and Tang Yuerou were no exception. Although they, like Wang Xin'er, had been completely captivated by Wang Yue's charm, they were already past the age when they wanted to be constantly with their lovers. For them, as long as they knew Wang Yue was safe and wouldn't abandon them, and that he could provide them with comfort when they needed it, that was enough.

"Something happened at Menglan's home, so I went to take care of it," Wang Yue explained truthfully.

One of Wang Yue's personal maids, Li Menglan, was known to all the other maids. After all, three years ago, the Wang family wasn't so strict, and everyone had plenty of free time, so it was quite common for them to visit each other. They all had a very good impression of the girl who had always treated Wang Yue like her own younger brother and taken care of him.

Now, what they were all concerned about was what exactly had happened, so they asked one after another, "What happened?"

Wang Yue roughly explained the situation to them. Once they learned that everything had been successfully resolved, the maids stopped asking further questions. Only Wang Yue seemed somewhat reluctant, saying, "Why didn't you take me with you? If I had been there, I would have made sure to wipe out that Crocodile Gang completely!"

Wang Yue felt helpless inside himself—there was simply no way he could have taken her along. Back then, he had used both kindness and authority to bring the Crocodile Gang under control, but it had been more of a momentary impulse. Now, however, he had new ideas. A group like the Crocodile Gang might not possess much power, but its members were very diverse, coming from all walks of life. If they were willing to put in some effort, they could become a valuable source of information. Although it would be difficult for them to gather information about martial artists given their status, sometimes even the most ordinary places could hide great secrets. Moreover, it was possible that they could help identify some talented individuals—like Li Gang, for example. Who would have thought that such an honest and simple-minded young man could actually be a genius in the field of external martial arts training?

So, Wang Yue began to consider the idea of expanding the Crocodile Gang and using it to serve his own purposes. He even had a candidate in mind for its leader.

After this little interlude, the maids resumed practicing their martial arts. Watching them—one sexy, one beautiful, one petite—Wang Yue suddenly had a rather absurd thought: It would be wonderful if they were all his women. In that case, no one would have to hide anything in this training ground. He could just choose whichever one he wanted… What a wonderful scenario that would be.

Unfortunately, apart from the two sisters-in-law and his own sister whom he already had, the other four maids—two of whom were his half-sisters and two his cousins—were not women he could easily approach.

It had to be said that as his lust grew stronger, Wang Yue's moral standards seemed to decline even further. He was now fantasizing about his own sisters, even thinking about doing such things in a public place like the training ground during the day…

After a day of practice, Wang Yue said goodbye to the girls and returned home, looking forward to Li Menglan bringing dinner as soon as possible. He thought it would be wonderful to have dinner first and then enjoy her company.

On the other hand, after leaving the training ground, Chen Rong did not go back to her own place but instead went to Liu Xinru's residence.

"Grandma!" As soon as she entered the door, the two little girls, Wang Qianqian and Wang Shanshan, greeted her happily.

"Mom, what brings you here?" Liu Xinru asked, a bit surprised.

Chen Rong affectionately patted the heads of her granddaughters and said, "You two go and play for a while. Grandma has something to talk to your mom about."

"Okay," the two girls replied, wondering if their grandmother also had some secrets to share with their mother. With that thought, they ran off to Wang Qianqian's room.

They had already obtained the surveillance equipment earlier in the day and secretly installed it in several places throughout the house—including the living room, their mother's bedroom, kitchen, and even the bathroom—ensuring complete coverage with no blind spots. Now was the perfect time to test whether it worked properly.

In the living room, Liu Xinru invited Chen Rong to sit down and asked, "Mom, what is it you want to talk about?"

"I want to talk about Yueer," Chen Rong said seriously.

Liu Xinru's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her mother had discovered something about her and her brother? That would be troublesome! But she tried to remain calm and asked, "What about Yueer?"

Chen Rong did not answer directly but said instead, "Xinru, over the past three years, you've done so much for the Wang family. Without you, the effects of that incident three years ago wouldn't have healed so quickly. Everyone in the family is well aware of this."

"Mom, why are you bringing this up now?" Liu Xinru grew even more worried, fearing that her mother would add some "but" at the end.

"But…" Just as she feared, Chen Rong continued, "But after all, you are a woman. Managing such a large family is no easy task. You need to be prepared for that."

So that's what it was about.
