Chapter 0333: Raise the Cleaver

d me long ago, but in this situation, wouldn't he be wary of meAs soon as she thought about the big event happening tomorrow, Liu Qin's heart would start to race. After tomorrow, the entire Nalong Gan...Who would take his place Ouyang Wudi knew his body well. Though he seemed healthy now, he could fall ill at any moment. All his old brothers had passed away, leaving him alone in the world. Sometimes, he felt quite lonely. Fought with a group of nephews who were heads of their own families, it was ridiculous to think about.

If he could choose in advance, he would begin to carefully guide and cultivate him. Cultivating a family head is difficult, and it takes all the power and secrets in his hands to be handed over. A wrong choice leaves the future of the family with the danger of annihilation. Therefore, Ouyang Wudi dared not gamble on this major issue.

"Well, let's just watch and see," Ouyang Wudi sighed softly. "Let's see how things develop."

At this moment, he thought again of his eldest son, Ouyang Yingliang, who was very accomplished in the art world. The son who was called incompetent by the whole family. Now that he had joined the struggle, could he unleash unexpected abilities

Ouyang Wudi was very eager to see it, after all, his blood flowed within its body.

So, for Ouyang Yingliang and the Li family's collaboration, Ouyang Wudi really wanted to witness it firsthand. He really wanted to see if he was truly a waste.

"Master, let me help you back to rest." The steward said with concern, seeing a trace of fatigue on Ou Yang Wu Di's face.

Ouyang Wudi nodded and let the housekeeper push him from behind towards his room.

"Master, how can you be sure that Heavenly Tiger is reliable" the steward said as they walked.

"His craving for power, and the desire to be on top, make him reliable for now." A sly glint flashed in Ouyang Wudi's eyes, like an old fox. "He's just a gang leader, so he wants to experience what it's like to be a high-class person. Don't look at how he flaunts his power outside, deep down he's quite insecure. Because, after all, a gang leader doesn't have status."

"Master, in China, who are the most prestigious people" The steward couldn't help but interject.

"The most influential people" Ouyang Wudi gave a strange smile, then pointed at the sky and said softly, "Those aristocratic families in Beijing."

"Is there one by the sea" the steward asked again.

Ouyang Wudi shook his head and said, "There was one before, but he has already moved away, to Yanjing. That was a truly remarkable person." He seemed to have thought of a great figure, a look of longing and admiration in his eyes, and then said, "Do you know what that person's surname is"

The butler shook his head.

"That person, his surname is Ye." Ouyang Wudi let out a wry smile, and the name "Ye Fan" suddenly popped into his mind. He felt Ye Fan had something to do with that person, but when he thought about it, he felt it was impossible.

"Surname Ye" The butler opened his mouth in surprise.

"That's right, many years ago. That person stayed in Linhai City for three years. You know During those three years, many prominent families in Linhai City were brought down and ceased to exist. Only a handful of families survived."

“Then our family, counts too, right” The butler had a sense of pride on his face. He'd heard that story; back then, Limhai City was bustling with prominent families, but over the years, many of those once powerful clans disappeared. Some fell into ruin, others collapsed entirely and were forced to leave Limhai. In any case, within just a few years, there were fewer and fewer families left in Limhai City.

“That’s right, only the Ding family, the Yuwen family, the Li family, and our Ouyang family are left.” Ouyang Wudi was still arrogant and said: “But don’t underestimate the Ding family. That is also a truly influential family. Over seventy years ago, the Ding family was the most powerful family in Linhai City. They also had a very close relationship with the four great families.”

"Huh" The butler seemed to have thought of some possibility, his face full of shock.

"Yes, the ancestors of the Ding family, they were influential figures in Shanghai during the 1930s!" Ou Yang Wudi revealed a secret that shocked the butler.

No one expected that the ancestor of the Ding family would actually be Ding Li. The wealth of the Ding family today was all laid down step by step during Ding Li's time.

Ding Li

Who would have thought that the Ding family today has such a renowned ancestor, named Ding Li. He was once a powerful figure, and his relationship with the four most influential families in China at the time was particularly close. No wonder the Ding family has been able to stand firm for so long. Although China has changed, the strength of the four great families remains intact. Even in the subsequent appeasement, the four great families still quietly existed.

“Some things are really beyond comprehension.” Ouyang Wudi sighed softly and said, “You say the Si Kong family, those years, where was there even a name for the Si Kong family But suddenly it appeared. Now Si Kong Yanan has another nephew with a mysterious background. So,” he shook his head at this point.

The steward also nodded slowly, his face also looking a bit grave.

"Master, what shall we do about this alliance" The butler spoke as they neared the bedroom.

"What can we do Just wait and see." Ouyang Wudi pondered for a moment before continuing, "Actually, this situation is most beneficial to the Ouyang Family. No one dares to attack us, otherwise, it would be very easy for us to defect to the other side, and whoever attacks us will end up very badly. But there's gain and loss. Alliances between families often have other reasons. In recent years, all industries have been undergoing reform and becoming more group-oriented. Therefore, families also need such cooperation. This is what the higher-ups intend."

"Aren't we missing out on this opportunity" Hearing Ouyang Wudi's words, the butler felt a little confused in his heart.

"Not aligning now doesn't mean we won't in the future." Ouyang Wudi flashed a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, then continued, "Now is not a good time. Let's see the outcome of their contest before making a decision."

The Butler nodded and pushed Ouyang Wudi into the bedroom. At this time, in the hall of the Ouyang family, an argument about who to form an alliance with and who to succeed was still ongoing. They didn't know that Old Master Ouyang had already decided everything. Without Ouyang Wudi's orders, their influence outside was negligible.

After returning to the Tiger's Den, he redoubled his efforts to investigate last night's incident. However, with Kunzi having fled, it was difficult to get a clear picture of what had happened.

When Fan Jiwei's body was transported back, he stood there for over twenty minutes, his face ashen. Then, he ordered his men to cremate him. Throughout the entire process, his expression didn't change. However, deep down inside, he was filled with immense rage. He felt betrayed by those closest to him.

That person, he actually raised his butcher knife against his own son.pletely still. The key reason was that Ye Fan, the class monitor, often skipped school and failed to lead and organize, resulting in poor cohesion within the class.Su Qin, however, was unaware that So...
