Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Common Enemy

Just as Wang Yushan issued the command, Uncle Luo already appeared in front of Wang Cheng, slamming his fist towards Wang Cheng.

At that moment, Wang Cheng’s eyes widened, filled with intense fear and despair; he never imagined that Wang Yushan would actually want to kill him.

"Boom!"

The next second, Uncle Luo’s fist barely missed Wang Cheng’s head and heavily smashed into the immensely sturdy reinforced concrete wall, creating a hole in it.

Wang Cheng was gasping for air, his crotch already wet, the air thick with the foul smell of urine.

His legs shook uncontrollably, and his body trembled violently, his face full of fear and the relief of surviving the ordeal, grateful to still be alive.

Wang Yushan frowned and looked at Uncle Luo with displeasure, "Uncle Luo, what is the meaning of this?"

Uncle Luo retracted his fist and spoke calmly, "I think we can give Wang Cheng a chance to atone for his sins through good deeds. If he handles this matter well, Old Master Jiang might spare the Wang Family’s life."

Hearing Uncle Luo’s words, Wang Cheng suddenly snapped back to his senses; there was still a chance for him!

He dropped to his knees with a thud, his face full of panic as he said, "Uncle, I’m willing to atone for my sins, even if it means going through fire and water. As long as it can contribute to the family, I’m not afraid of death. Please, Uncle, give me a chance to redeem myself."

Wang Yushan narrowed his eyes staring at Wang Cheng, "So, you admit your guilt? So, Wang Jian didn’t deceive me, it was you who ordered him to leak the information that the woman was a King Realm Strong?"

"I..."

Wang Cheng was suddenly thrown into panic; he didn’t know whether Wang Yushan was trying to trap him or if Wang Jian had truly betrayed him. He started to speak nonsensically.

"How is that possible?"

He stammered, "Uncle, don’t listen to Wang Jian’s nonsense. How dare I instruct Wang Jian to leak the information you specifically instructed me to handle?"

"Hmph!"

Wang Yushan said coldly, "Since it wasn’t you, then you kill Wang Jian yourself!"

Wang Cheng’s eyes widened. No matter what, Wang Jian was his man, now captured by Wang Yushan for his own sake.

If it was true that Wang Jian had betrayed him, he would kill Wang Jian himself, but what if Wang Jian hadn’t betrayed him?

As one of the standout members of his generation in the Wang Family, he was very intelligent. From Wang Yushan’s reaction just now, he could roughly surmise that Wang Jian had not betrayed him. If Wang Yushan had been certain that he was the one who instructed Wang Jian to leak the information, Wang Yushan would likely have killed him by now.

He suspected that just now, when Wang Yushan ordered Uncle Luo to kill him, it was a play put on by both of them, testing him.

If he had admitted it just now, he would have truly been dead.

"Fine!"

After struggling internally for a moment, Wang Cheng clenched his teeth and said, "Wang Jian betrayed the family, betrayed Uncle; he deserves to die!"

As he spoke, he was already in front of Wang Jian.

Wang Jian was covered in blood and, sensing something, he slightly opened his swollen eyes to look at Wang Cheng. A gentle smile appeared on his lips, and then he gave a difficult nod, as if to say, go ahead, I don’t blame you.

Seeing this, Wang Cheng’s guilt deepened.

If Wang Jian died, there would be no one left who would be as loyal to him as Wang Jian had been.

"Wang Jian, you shouldn’t have betrayed the family. Today, I will see you off!"

Wang Cheng suddenly shouted, and as the words fell, he gathered all his strength and punched Wang Jian directly in the heart.

"Thump!"

A muffled impact sounded, and a large amount of blood gushed from Wang Jian’s mouth, and the gaze he had fixed on Wang Cheng gradually faded away.

Watching Wang Jian die by his own hand, Wang Cheng felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body, and he sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Next, I’ll personally deliver you to Old Master Jiang. Whether you can obtain his forgiveness is up to you,"

Wang Yushan said at this time.

Wang Cheng, as if soulless, nodded his head blankly, "Okay!"

With the loss of Wang Jian, he also lost the support of Wang Jian’s lineage. Even if he survived, he was all alone and completely severed from the title of heir to the Wang Family.

"Family Head, the Ye Family’s people have arrived!"

Just as a few of them came outside, the butler came running and whispered into Wang Yushan’s ear.

"Oh?"

Wang Yushan was slightly surprised.

After all, the Wang Family was a vassal family of the Jiang Family. The Ye Family was on par with the Jiang Family as one of the top elite families among the Nine Gates of Yandu, so why would they send someone to the Wang Family?

Wang Yushan asked, "Which member of the Ye Family has come?"

The butler said, "Ye Tiannan!"

"Who?"

Wang Yushan’s eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrong.

The butler said seriously, "Family Head, you didn’t hear wrong. It’s Ye Tiannan!"

Wang Yushan immediately became anxious and hurriedly strode forward, "Quick, quick, quick, take me to him!"

If it weren’t for an incident that befell Ye Tiannan a few days ago, he would have already been the heir to the Ye Family. Even though Ye Tiancheng has now usurped everything that belonged to Ye Tiannan, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and Ye Tiannan was not someone the Wang Family could afford to offend.

Watching the hastily departing Wang Yushan, Wang Cheng’s eyes blazed with two sharp glimmers. Although he hadn’t heard clearly what the butler told Wang Yushan, he caught the name Ye Tiannan.

Could it be that Ye Tiannan from the Ye Family had personally come?

So late in the evening, why would Ye Tiannan suddenly visit the Wang Family, and why did he want to see Wang Yushan?

Wang Cheng suddenly realized this was an opportunity for him to turn his fortunes around.

Uncle Luo looked coldly at Wang Cheng and said, "You go back and wait, be ready to accompany the Family Head to see Old Master Jiang at any moment!"

"Yes!"

Wang Cheng quickly responded respectfully.

Uncle Luo wasn’t worried about Wang Cheng running away. Given the Wang Family’s status, Wang Cheng truly couldn’t escape. It was well known that even Wang Jian couldn’t escape Yandu, let alone Wang Cheng.

The Wang Family’s reception room.

At that moment, a middle-aged man sitting in a wheelchair with stony eyes was staring intently at Wang Yushan who had just rushed in.

The middle-aged man was none other than Ye Tiannan, who, at the request of Ye Qingwan, had been treated by Qin Chuan and had his legs disabled during the process.

Ye Tiannan looked coldly at Wang Yushan and said, "Wang Yushan, you’re a smart man, you should know how to choose."

Cold sweat the size of beans streamed down Wang Yushan’s forehead. Just now, the words spoken by Ye Tiannan had made him somewhat afraid.

Wang Yushan mustered all his courage and asked cautiously, "You just mentioned that Jiang Chenlong has been dismissed from the position of heir. Is this true?"

"Hmph!"

Ye Tiannan gave a disdainful smile and said coldly, "Before long, the news will spread. What? Do you think I’m trying to deceive you into submitting to the Wang Family?"

Wang Yushan hurriedly said, "You overestimate me. What am I but a mere nobody, how could I warrant your deception? It’s just that, the Wang Family is after all a vassal of the Jiang Family. Suddenly switching sides to you, the Jiang Family is unlikely to let the Wang Family go."

Ye Tiannan scoffed, "Wang Yushan, do you really think that just because I’ve lost my chances of competing for the Ye Family heirship, I’m not worth the Wang Family’s investment?"

"I can tell you clearly that after tomorrow, the Ye Family will regard me as their leader!"

"The reason I’ve come to find you so late is simply because we have a common enemy, and thus I wish to lend you a hand."

"I don’t believe that you, whose son was killed, can truly let go of this blood feud."

Having said that, Ye Tiannan then addressed his followers, "Since the Wang Family Head is not willing to submit to me, then let it be. Let’s go!"
