Ji Yang didn’t know what was happening above, when he was still pondering what to do if the Niu Family’s people attacked their doorstep.
Protecting Guo Yuming was a must, and everyone was watching, so no matter what, Ji Yang had to ensure his safety.
However, facing such a family like the Niu Family, Ji Yang actually had some worries in his heart.
Just as Ji Yang was worrying, Chu Shuyuan called.
"Yang, do you know, the Niu Family has fallen!"
Joy was clearly shining through Chu Shuyuan’s heart.
Ji Yang had not expected it to take effect so quickly.
Knowing Ji Yang’s astonishment, Chu Shuyuan laughed and said,
"Who told the Niu Family to walk right into the line of fire?"
"What exactly happened?" Ji Yang really became curious.
Chu Shuyuan said, "It’s complicated when you get into the details. For some time now, some emerging families have risen, and these families inevitably clash with the older ones. However, these new families, having the advantage in finances and alliances among one another, are difficult to move against. The old powers not siding with one another meant they were even less capable."
"Why did they combine forces so quickly this time?"
"The key lies with you. You might not be aware of the situation, but actually, everyone joined hands because of you. You know, they have all been looking for a target to attack, and the Niu Family just barged in."
Ji Yang, after all, operated at a lower level and was really not quite clear about the situation above.
Always, in Ji Yang’s mind, the emerging forces must be superior to the old ones, but now he took a moment to seriously think and realized he was somewhat one-sided. It wasn’t such a simple situation; this involved too many things.
Chu Shuyuan continued, "The Niu Family wasn’t weak either. Apart from some local influence, their family also had a certain amount of power in the military. This led to Niu Yong’s long-standing arrogance. Few people really wanted to offend him, and unexpectedly, you clashed with him."
"So, everyone aimed their targets at the Niu Family?" Ji Yang started to understand some more.
"Mhm, I won’t mention the Chu Family since I’m here. What Niu Yong said had offended our Chu Family as well. Even if the Chu Family didn’t take action, I would have dealt with him. So, I made contacts with various families. In addition, in Tiannan Province, the Zhou Family and Sun Family joined hands because of you. There were also some local powers that did not want the Niu Family entering Tiannan Province. In this matter, they naturally targeted the Niu Family since they were going to affect their interests. Plus, in Capital City, there were some families and powers that owed you favors. Under the influence of such powers, the target became quickly united." Find the newest release on novel{f}ire.net
"I’m just curious how they were fixed so quickly," Ji Yang was curious about this as well.
"Actually, whether it be the various powers or families, they all have such and such problems. No one moved against them before because there were no benefits, and it would cause harm. This time, however, everyone had the same target. With the information that had been collected long ago, it turned into evidence. So, with the evidence in hand, it only needed the relevant departments to take action, a sure catch."
"What’s the specific situation, does their family still have a chance to turn things around?" Ji Yang asked.
"If the people above do not take action, then it’s another problem, but if they decide to strike, it’s definitely a kill shot, certainly not allowing them any chance to turn things around. Hence, Niu Honglei’s problems increased, a large number of issues were discovered, and this time he’s going to be confined to a cell for good."
"Does that mean I’m safe now?"
"Yeah, you are temporarily safe for now, no need to worry too much."
Ji Yang also let out a sigh of relief at this moment. It was the Niu Family’s own actions leading to their demise, they wouldn’t be able to fall if there wasn’t a heaven.
