Chapter 437: Eyebrows

is head and politely smiled at Zhu Mei: "Aunt Zhu, I didn't expect to see you here."Mei was taken aback, and when she saw that it was Ye Fan, she immediately grabbed his hand, her eyes shining with su...As for Ding Chan and some members of the Yuwen family who were taken by the "Fatties," they were secretly brought to Yanjing by the National Security Bureau on charges of endangering national security, among other crimes. As for whether or not they actually committed these crimes, no one knows. Anyway, once people like them are labeled this way, it's very difficult for them to ever come out again.

Maybe Ding Can felt he was too wronged. He just wanted to avenge his father, but ended up with this accusation. However, since Fatty spoke up, no one dared to speak up for them. At this time, no one would stand up for these small figures. Wouldn't they

In the chaos of last night, the Ouyang family suffered a severe blow, although the matter was quickly quelled. However, compared to its heyday, it was far, far behind. The next morning, Ouyang Wudi convened a family meeting and immediately announced that his eldest son, Ouyang Yingliang, would take over his position.

As for those few people who last night wanted to use clan rules to override Ou Yang Wu Di's authority, it seems that today at the meeting, none of them were able to make their presence known.

Among the major families, besides the Li family and the Si Kong family, the rest suffered more or less severe losses. Among them, the Yuwen family and the Yun family suffered the most. At the same time, the heads of these two families were also killed in last night's chaos.

And the members of both the Nanlong Gang and the Canglang Gang who were arrested by the police were also released at noon the next day after negotiations from various parties. However, the Canglang Gang was attacked by the Yuwen family last night and suffered heavy losses. Their current strength is less than half of what it used to be.

At noon, Uwen Wuxing, the acting head of the Uwen family, was taken away from his home. Following his arrest, the authorities also released more details about the financial dealings between the Uwen family and Wei Dao.

After Yun Hong's death, the Yun family couldn't find anyone capable of taking over. Furthermore, their business empire was investigated, and a massive scandal involving money and power transactions came to light.

Meanwhile, the Li family and the Si Kong family joined forces to start entering some of the commercial domains that previously belonged to the Yuwen family and the Yun family. They also acquired and merged their industries through various channels.

The original situation where seven families vied for power resulted in the Li family and the Si Kong clan forming an alliance, becoming the new dominant force. As for the Ding family, with most of its members choosing to follow Ding Can, they weathered the subsequent purge. Ding Ran swiftly stabilized the situation within the Ding family. However, this came at a significant cost, severely weakening their overall strength. Moreover, while stabilizing internal power, the Ding family lacked the resources to seize the benefits that emerged from the chaos.

Although the Wang family was mostly uninvolved in the chaos last night, they did have some conflicts with the Yun family and the Ouyang clan. Because Wang Mingke suddenly turned against them, he revealed some insider information about the Yun family to Ye Fan. The Wang family unexpectedly survived this chaotic situation. Even, the Wang family, which was originally ranked behind the Ouyang clan, surprisingly surpassed them in strength.

In order to choose a new head of the family, Ouyang Wudi chose this cruel way. Although the family's power plummeted to its lowest point and ranked last. But because Ouyang Yingliang was jointly nominated by the Li family and the Sikong family, the future development space for the Ouyang family is still infinite.

Such integration, and various investigations, are still ongoing.

Although Linhai City gradually calmed down after the upheaval, the storm within the system gradually subsided over the following days. This was because no one wanted to continue investigating the matter. Moreover, with an upcoming leadership transition, stability became the top priority.

Within the empire, the Yan family's power in Linhai City was practically eradicated, ceasing to exist. The Yuwen and Yun families were deeply embroiled in this political turmoil, and almost overnight, these two families vanished.

And another scandal was also investigated. It turned out that Wuming Wen, in order to seize the family head position, had actually instructed Wulong Wen to murder the original patriarch, Wuji Wen. After this matter was exposed, everyone was in an uproar. Wuming Wen was also indicted for murder and is likely to spend the rest of his life in prison.

As for the details surrounding Yun Hongsheng's death, investigations were apparently conducted, but ultimately no conclusive results were obtained.

The internal affairs gradually stabilized. For the positions vacated by officials like Wei Dao and his group, replacements were made. Of course, this was also the result of a multi-party game of power.

Over these days, Ye Fan has walked through every street and alley of Linhai City. In this turmoil, he saw the shadow of the several prominent families in Yanjing vying for power, and the fact that after the game, the Yan family finally gave up on saving the situation in Linhai. Therefore, he wanted to investigate the events of the year as quickly as possible. Since the Yan family's strength was missing, Ye Fan felt that his investigation would be easier.

The three-legged underworld was now dominated by just two factions, the Azure Wolf Gang and the Southern Dragon Gang, after the death of the Tiger of Heaven. The Azure Wolf Gang also suffered heavy losses that night, its strength diminished. During the takeover of the Black Fox Gang's former territory, the Azure Wolf Gang did not receive much benefit.

And secretly, with the support of the Li family and the Sikong family, the Nán Lóng Gang gathered the remaining forces and territories of the Black Fox Society at an astonishing speed. For a time, the Nán Lóng Gang unexpectedly became the largest gang in Linhai City.

Five days after that evening, the first Limhai City Family Commercial Exchange Conference was convened by the Si Kong family and the Li family. Due to the contributions made by several prominent families to Limhai City's commerce, the city government sent representatives to participate in this meeting. At this conference, the Si Kong family and the Li family emerged as the biggest winners, followed by the Ding family, then the Wang family and the Ouyang family.

Besides, there's the Lin family where Lin Meixin resides. When Li Shishi wanted to help Ouyang Yingliang seize the position of head of the family, the first person she sought out was Lin Meixin. Lin Meixin and Sikong Yanran are good friends, so they gradually brought several influential families together. After this turmoil, relying on their connections with these families, the once-declining Lin family gained tremendous development opportunities. It eventually became a prominent family among the several powerful clans. From its previous decline to its current resurgence, it was all thanks to the people of the Ye family. History always has surprising similarities.

After the meeting, the Sikong family and the Li family jointly invested to establish a group company. The two families almost put all their industries into this group company. At the same time, the OuYang family and the Lin family also invested part of their assets, becoming minority shareholders of the group company. The newly established group company will integrate the industries of the four families before and begin to radiate towards coastal cities. It will also expand its business in its own advantageous fields, thus expanding the national market.

I'm afraid this is something no one expected before the chaos began.

The original Yuwen family no longer existed, and the Ding family, once the leading clan, had also lost its former status. A new order emerged as a result.

However, Ye Fan's investigation still yielded no clues.ng with uncertainty: "This is definitely a master. I can tell from his aura."Young Master Wang seemed thoughtful, "Perhaps it's best to avoid conflict with this person tonight. After all, our identiti...
