"The Jiang Family Head of Jincheng, Mr. Jiang Chen!"

Just as the crowd gasped, the middle-aged man sitting behind Zhuge Qingfeng repeated the name, causing the people of the Zhuge Family to turn their heads towards him.

"Mr. Zhang, do you know that Jiang Chen?" Zhuge Qingfeng asked in surprise, before realizing, "Right, the Jiang Family is also a subsidiary family of the Sect, you must know him!"

Zhang Fangrui glanced at Zhuge Qingfeng and said solemnly, "The Jiang Family of Jincheng is no longer a subsidiary family of the Sect, but an iron-blooded ally. The enemies of the Jiang Family are the enemies of the Sect. The Sect Master once said that to see Mr. Jiang Chen is to see the Sect Master himself!"

After pausing for a moment, a glint of cold light flashed in Zhang Fangrui's eyes, "To insult Mr. Jiang as a 'wild child' is the same as insulting the Sect Master as a 'wild child.' Zhuge Qingfeng, your Zhuge Family's younger generation really has some nerve!"

"What?!"

"Iron-blooded allies?!"

"To see Jiang Chen is to see the Sect Master?!"

The faces of the Zhuge Family members all changed drastically.

Zhuge Yuhan, too, was startled. Tang Feng had speculated that Jiang Chen had a not-so-shallow relationship with the Chixiao Sect, but he never expected it to be this profound!

"Let it go!"

Zhuge Qingfeng let out a resigned sigh and cursed the people from the Zhuge Family of Jun Cheng thoroughly in his heart.

Why did you have to offend them? Even if you offended the heads of the other top five financial powers, I could find a way to deal with it. But you had to offend the iron-blooded ally of the Sect—is this not seeking death?

At this moment, if Zhuge Jun Cheng was in front of Zhuge Qingfeng, Zhuge Qingfeng would likely have strangled him to death on the spot!

Overnight, except for the properties in GD Province, all of the Zhuge Family's assets were transferred to the Yi Chen Group, and the Jiuzhou Group also began to hand over all domestic businesses to Yi Chen.

That night, the Zhuge Family, one of the top six financial powerhouses, fell from their pedestal, and the Yi Chen Group shocked the world once again.

This caused chaos among all the big families along the river, all beginning to investigate who was behind the Yi Chen Group, and how it managed to make the Zhuge Family hand over so many assets so willingly!

Everyone's focus was on this matter, and gradually, the name Jiang Chen emerged.

...

Meanwhile, as Jiang Chen was planning through the night, a disaster struck in the Jiang Family Courtyard.

Late at night, everyone was still asleep inside the Jiang Family Courtyard.

"Boom—"

Suddenly, a booming sound awoke everyone from their dreams.

When Yan Hu and others arrived in the courtyard, they were astonished to find that Jiang Minghui's legs had somehow recovered, and he was standing at the gateway with three men, one of whom, an old man with whitening hair, was holding Elder Master Jiang.

Elder Master Jiang's complexion was blackened, and his breath was as thin as a thread; something was clearly wrong.

"Jiang Minghui, what, what have you done to Elder Master Jiang?"

Yan Hu exclaimed in shock, interrogating Jiang Minghui.

Jiang Minghui glanced at Yan Hu and let out a cold laugh. He didn't bother to respond; instead, he shouted loudly at the Jiang Family guards who had rushed out, "Gentlemen, the wicked woman Shen Xiaoqin has poisoned Elder Master Jiang, intending to plot against the Jiang Family. Now, it's time for us to clean house!"

Upon hearing his words, everyone was taken aback.

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

The Jiang Family guards were utterly shocked.

"You're talking nonsense!" Yan Hu roared furiously, "Jiang Minghui, release Elder Master Jiang!"

Jiang Minghui smirked and pointed at Yan Hu, shouting, "Guards, this man is also the accomplice of that wicked woman. Kill him!"

Upon hearing Jiang Minghui's instigation, Yan Hu was unconcerned. He thought that these Jiang Family guards wouldn't lay a finger on him.

But who would have suspected that half of the guards would charge towards him, while the other half seemed to be in a state of confusion.

Jiang Minghui grew even more smug and shouted to the confused half,

"What are you waiting for? Elder Master Jiang has been poisoned and we have rescued him. Why haven't you killed this bastard to uphold the Jiang Family's laws!?"

The other guards were shocked and about to act.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, the leader of the guards, the man called Barbarian, roared out, staring fixedly at Jiang Minghui,

"Jiang Minghui, you have been expelled from the Jiang Family. What right do you have to uphold the Family's laws?"

Jiang Minghui's eyes hardened as he replied coldly,

"Jiang Chen and Shen Xiaoqin committed insubordination. I, of course, had to come back to enforce the family laws. I was the former Family Head of the Jiang Family. Now that Jiang Chen and his mother plot to kill Elder Master Jiang, I declare Jiang Chen deposed and reclaim my position as the Family Head of the Jiang Family!"

Upon hearing this, the guards who had begun to move immediately waved their hands and shouted,

"I support Family Head Minghui!"

"I support Family Head Minghui too!"

Yan Hu glanced at those guards supporting Jiang Minghui; all of them were guards from the collateral branches of the past.

Meanwhile, the rest of the guards grew even more uncertain.

"Everyone, listen to me!"

Barbarian's loud voice rang out again,

"Don't just listen to Jiang Minghui's side of the story. I remember when Family Head Jiang Chen first arrived, he told us that we are guarding the Jiang Family, our duty is to protect the family, not the words of a single individual. Jiang Minghui claims that Family Head Jiang Chen and his mother conspired to poison Elder Master Jiang. Then let's first cure Elder Master Jiang of his poison and have him judge right from wrong!"

The confused guards' eyes suddenly lit up.

"Right, save Elder Master Jiang first!"

"Save Elder Master Jiang first!"

The direct-line guards all shouted loudly in agreement.

Jiang Minghui's eyes flashed with a cold light as he pointed at Barbarian and yelled,

"These people have been bewitched by Jiang Chen. Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

"Eliminate these traitors!"

A group of guards from the collateral branches charged towards Barbarian and the others.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

"Stop!"

A loud shout erupted as the three elders of the Jiang Family appeared in the courtyard.

The guards all stopped in their tracks, looking towards the three elders of the Jiang Family.

"Bo Wen?!"

The Third Elder, seeing Elder Master Jiang's darkened complexion, cried out in shock.

The Family Head looked sternly at Jiang Minghui and roared,

"Jiang Minghui, release Bo Wen!"

A twitch appeared at the corner of Jiang Minghui's mouth, his body involuntarily shrinking a little, but then he seemed to think of something, quickly glanced at the elder supporting Elder Master Jiang, and with a stiffened spine and a gloomy expression, he said,

"Have you three grandfathers also been bewitched by Jiang Chen and his mother?"

"Nonsense, Chen'er has always been dedicated to the family. When has he ever bewitched us? Jiang Minghui, release Bo Wen immediately, or else today we will cleanse the clan!" the Third Elder shouted.

The Second Elder looked at Jiang Minghui with cold eyes, casting a wary glance at the elder supporting Elder Master Jiang.

This elder gave the Second Elder the impression of an imposing mountain, exuding an unstoppable presence!

Jiang Minghui, his expression darkening once again, spoke,

"Since you've all been bewitched, I won't be courteous. Grandfathers, I'll have to take you down first, and after I catch that Jiang Chen, I'll cleanse the clan and then release you!"

"You dare to make a move against us?" the Third Elder's face turned extremely dark, glaring fiercely at Jiang Minghui.

At this moment, the elder supporting Elder Master Jiang spoke indifferently,

"Minghui, you talk too much. To deal with a bunch of ants, just kill them all!"
