Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Release the News

At that moment, Qin Chuan felt increasingly weak and his consciousness gradually faded, plunging him once again into a coma.

Tang Yue’er thought Qin Chuan had fallen asleep. Gazing at his sharply defined face, her eyes were filled with tenderness.

After an indeterminate time, Tang Yue’er lay down by the side of Qin Chuan’s large bed and drifted off to sleep herself.

Yandu, Wang Family.

Inside a standalone villa.

This was Wang Cheng’s residence. Inside the room, an elderly man with graying hair stood in front of Wang Cheng and respectfully asked, "Young Master Cheng, did you summon me?"

Wang Cheng nodded and, with a somber expression, asked the elder, "Uncle Jian, do you still remember our first meeting?"

Uncle Jian, originally named Wang Jian, was from a collateral branch of the Wang Family. He looked old enough to be Wang Cheng’s grandfather but by generational seniority, Wang Cheng indeed should address him as uncle.

With a reflective expression, Wang Jian said, "Of course, I remember!"

Continuing nostalgically, he said, "Back then, our Haicheng Wang Family was the weakest among all the collateral branches in terms of comprehensive strength. According to tradition, we were to be disqualified from the family and merged into other collateral branches."

"Being disqualified isn’t terrifying. Even separated from the Wang Family, our Haicheng Wang Family would still be among the top elites of Haicheng, but the terrifying part was being merged into other collateral branches."

"Once merged into another branch, everything of Haicheng Wang Family would be integrated along with it, and the Haicheng Wang Family would become history."

"That’s not the main point, though. The key issue is that to gain easier control over Haicheng Wang Family, many people in the Haicheng Wang Family would have to die."

"It was under these circumstances that I sought mercy from your father. Although your father was also in a difficult position and was planning to give up the Haicheng Wang Family, you, then only ten years old, said something."

"You said, for your father, preserving the Haicheng Wang Family was merely a matter of speaking a word, but once he gave up on the Haicheng Wang Family, it would be completely erased from history."

"It was precisely your words that convinced your father to preserve the Haicheng Wang Family."

As he spoke, Wang Jian’s face was filled with gratitude.

Being an elder of a once declining collateral family branch of a top-tier wealthy family, he was acutely aware of the severe consequences of being disqualified from the family.

It could be said that because of Wang Cheng’s words, the entire Haicheng Wang Family was saved.

With an expressionless face, Wang Cheng said, "You know, the reason I wanted my father to preserve the Haicheng Wang Family was merely to make the Haicheng Wang Family feel indebted to my father."

"Just like I said that year, preserving the Haicheng Wang Family was just a matter of a word for my father, and once the Haicheng Wang Family rose up, it would be a significant support for my father."

"Plainly speaking, everything was driven by interest."

Wang Jian, with a bitter face, still said, "Born into a wealthy family, even a dog must abide by the family’s rules."

"Even if you wanted to preserve the Haicheng Wang Family for your own benefits, to us of the Haicheng Wang Family, it was your word that preserved generations of accumulation in Haicheng."

"In the heart of every member of our Haicheng Wang Family, you are a benefactor!"

Wang Jian was very serious in his attitude, and his words were deeply sincere.

After a moment of silence, Wang Cheng finally heaved a deep sigh and said, "Uncle Jian, please go back and rest early!"

Yet Wang Jian did not leave, instead asking, "Young Master Cheng, since you called me over so late, there must be something very important that you need me to do."

"Whatever you command, even if it means going through fire and water, I am willing!"

In Wang Jian’s heart, Wang Cheng was the rightful young master of the Wang Family and the benefactor of every Wang Family member in Haicheng.

He was well aware that being called over by Wang Cheng so late, it definitely wouldn’t be just a simple conversation.

Wang Cheng looked at Wang Jian with a complex expression and said, "You should know if I ask you to do something, it might cost you your life."

Wang Jian smiled freely, as if he had anticipated this, and said seriously, "To die for young master Cheng is nothing to regret. Not just for me, for every person of the Haicheng Wang Family, it is the same!"

"Bang!"

Wang Jian suddenly knelt on one knee, his eyes brimming with tears, and said, "In my heart, you are the only rightful heir of the Wang Family. As for that dead Wang Long, he wouldn’t even qualify to carry your shoes!"

"I pledge my loyalty to you on behalf of the entire Haicheng Wang Family!"

Wang Cheng quickly stepped forward, helped Wang Jian to his feet with both hands, looked at him with red eyes, and gritted his teeth, "I thought that after Wang Long’s death, the successor would be me, but to my utter surprise, my uncle even had an illegitimate child."

"Watching the position of heir almost within my grasp slip away, Uncle Jian, I can’t accept it, I just can’t!"

Wang Jian’s face was equally filled with unwillingness. Who didn’t know that Wang Long was a complete good-for-nothing? Who didn’t know he fancied Long Yang?

But what could they do when his father was the Family Head of the Wang Family?

For Wang Cheng, this was unfair.

Wang Jian said, "Young Master Cheng, once the Family Head’s illegitimate child appears, I will go kill him, and then, you will be the only heir of the Wang Family."

Wang Cheng shook his head, "Knowing my uncle’s character, once he brings that illegitimate child back, he will definitely protect him well. Let’s not talk about whether you’d even have a chance to act; even if you could, after you kill my uncle’s illegitimate child, you too will hardly escape death. I don’t want you to die."

Wang Jian asked, "Do you have a better idea?"

Wang Cheng looked seriously at Wang Jian and said, "I indeed have a plan, but from now on, you would need to live in hiding."

Wang Jian stood there stunned, and after a long while, he said, "Whatever arrangement Young Master Cheng has for me, just command me!"

He also understood that once he went to kill Wang Yushan’s illegitimate child, there really would be no way out for him.

If Wang Cheng had a way to keep him alive, even if it meant living in anonymity, so be it.

A sharp gleam flashed in Wang Cheng’s eyes as he said, "Jiang Chenlong has clearly been acting strangely towards that young man surnamed Qin, and even threatened my uncle not to reveal that the woman with Qin Chuan is a King Realm Strong."

"Once this news leaks out, that the woman is a King Realm Strong, it will certainly stir up the whole Shen Zhou."

"At that time, Jiang Chenlong will definitely be furious. Once he gets angry, my uncle’s tenure as Family Head is over."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Jian’s expression drastically changed, and he asked worriedly, "By then, indeed the Family Head won’t end well, but can the Wang Family still be preserved?"

Without the protection of the Jiang Family, the Wang Family simply has no qualification to be integrated into Yandu’s elite circles.

Wang Cheng squinted and said, "Don’t worry, I have a way to keep the Jiang family from taking action against the Wang Family."

Wang Jian looked deeply at Wang Cheng, harboring great hopes for him, and he thoroughly believed that Wang Cheng had a way to resolve the crisis for the Wang Family.

Wang Jian then asked, "Do you want me to spread the news that that woman is a King Realm Strong?"

Wang Cheng nodded, his expression grave as he cautioned, "After you spread this news, leave Yandu immediately and wait for the day I take control of the Wang Family to be your day of return!"

Wang Jian took a deep breath, nodded firmly, and said, "Alright, I will handle this matter right now!"
