Chapter 142

The Ouyang family and the Yun family have never gotten along, and there’s even some enmity between them. They haven’t had any contact for many years, so the fact that the Ouyang family suddenly called today surprised Old Master Ouyang.

　　“Yes.” The butler nodded and continued, “Yun Hongsheng’s eldest son was also…” He hesitated for a moment, but continued, “He was also killed by the same means.”

　　”Ah…” Ouyang Wudi was shocked and it took him a long time to recover.

　　Since he fell ill, in order not to disturb his rest, the elders decided, with their consent, that some less important matters would no longer be reported to him.

　　Although the killing of Yun Hongsheng’s eldest son was a major event, it was a joyous occasion for the Ouyang family, which is why Ouyang Wudi is still unaware of it.

　　The butler felt it was very necessary to report this matter to the old man.

　　While the elders were having a meeting in the council hall, he went into Ouyang Wudi’s bedroom, just as Yun Hongsheng called.

　　”Tell me what happened?” Ouyang Wudi seemed to have thought of a possibility, but then shook his head and looked at the butler.

　　The butler then recounted the details of Yunbo’s death.

　　Ouyang Wudi looked astonished. Having experienced so many ups and downs, he was still moved when he heard that Yun Hongsheng’s son had also been killed in the same way.

　　Because the death of his own grandson and the death of Yun Hongsheng’s son had too many similarities.

　　They all had bodyguards, staged car accidents, and then tortured to death.

　　When they did it so cruelly, their heads were cut off and never seen again.

　　These two things are very intriguing.

　　If Ouyang Yu was being hunted down by enemies, what about Yun Hongsheng’s son? Was he also being targeted by enemies for revenge? Did they both incur a common enemy?

　　That doesn’t make sense.

　　If this was targeted at a family, this person is incredibly audacious. Attacking both the Ouyang and Yun families simultaneously, and then leaving no trace afterward, has left the police unable to solve the case to this day.

　　It’s important to know that the Ouyang family mobilized both the military and the police this time.

　　Moreover, both of them were cultivated by the Ouyang family and are figures with real power in the military and police.

　　Even they said they couldn’t find any clues. Isn’t that strange?

　　This person was able to leave no trace. How powerful must his background and influence be? Could it be the Ding family?

　　Ouyang Wudi felt that this whole affair reeked of conspiracy. If anyone in Linhai City was capable of doing something like this, it was currently only the Ding family.

　　But the Ouyang family and the Ding family have no enmity; they even have business dealings. It’s just that I’ve heard the Yuwen family and the Ding family are at odds.

　　If it’s not the Ding family, then it must be an outside family…

　　Ouyang Wudi dared not think any further.

　　Sometimes, when too many family interests are involved, he has no choice but to treat it with caution.

　　Sometimes a small wrong decision can lead to the demise of an entire family.

　　Wasn’t that the reason the Lu family had this problem more than a decade ago?

　　Now look at the Lu family, where can they still find a place to stand?

　　”Answer the call.” Ouyang Wudi felt something stuck in his chest, pounded his chest, and then said in a deep voice.

　　“Master…” the butler said with a worried expression.

　　”Go ahead, I’m fine. I know my own body.” Ouyang Wudi said calmly.

　　The butler looked at the old man with a worried expression, but Ouyang Wudi waved his hand, so he had no choice but to bow and step back.

　　To avoid radiation, Ouyang Wudi’s cell phone was placed in a specific area that only the butler could access.

　　As the butler walked out, a glint of light flashed in Ouyang Wudi’s eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

　　A few minutes later, the butler came in with his phone, dialed Yun Hongsheng’s number, and after a brief exchange, he handed the phone to Ouyang Wudi.

　　”Grandpa, Xiaoyun sends her greetings.” Yun Hongsheng’s heavy, hoarse voice, tinged with pain, came from the other end of the phone.

　　Ouyang Wudi and Yun Hongsheng’s father were of the same generation, and their feud stemmed from their previous lives. Despite being a formidable old monster in the Ouyang family, Yun Hongsheng still showed the respect due to a junior.

　　”Hehe, okay, okay.”

　　Ouyang Wudi finally smiled and said, “It’s been so many years, and the person I’m talking to on the phone with is you.”

　　At this point, he let out a soft sigh.

　　At this moment, a forlorn expression appeared on his face.

　　Yun Hongsheng gave a few awkward, dry laughs.

　　When the old man was alive, he had some contact with Ouyang Wudi.

　　But later, for some unknown reason, they suddenly fell out.

　　Over the years, the Ouyang family and the Yun family had never gotten along. When the old man passed away, the Ouyang family even sent him a flowerpot, which angered Yun Hongsheng so much that he smashed the flowerpot on the spot.

　　But he had no choice but to make this call today.

　　Firstly, it was because of his son, and secondly, it was for the benefit of the family.

　　He was initially happy for several days when Ouyang Yu was killed, but after his son was killed in the same way, he could no longer be happy.

　　He sensed something unusual.

　　Therefore, no matter how much hatred existed between the two families, he felt it was necessary to meet Ouyang Wudi.

　　This old man is someone whose words in Linhai can make many people think for days.

　　Having led the Ouyang family for so many years, the only one of his generation left is that old codger from the Ding family.

　　”I know about the child,” Ouyang Wudi said calmly. “Come on over, I’d like to meet you too.”

　　After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Wudi handed the phone to the butler, took a sip of water from the glass beside him, and then stared at the butler, asking, “What’s the situation outside?”

　　Outside, of course, is the council chamber.

　　The butler leaned forward and whispered, “The eldest young master has gone back; it seems he went to the mourning hall. As for the others, they’re still discussing it.”

　　Ouyang Wudi sighed deeply in his heart. Although Guan Jian spoke lightly, how could he not have thought of it?

　　The thought that he was still alive, yet already in this state, was unbearable.

　　What happens after I die? Who will be able to control this family?

　　For over a hundred years, the Ouyang family has enjoyed stable growth. Especially under my leadership, it has entered a period of rapid development. But eventually, I will pass away.

　　Who can take the baton from me? Does this mean that the Ouyang family will decline after me?

　　Thinking of this, a crazy killing intent flashed across his face.

　　They finally managed to train Ouyang Yu, and Ouyang Yu lived up to their expectations.

　　But he was killed, which severed the lifeblood of the Ouyang family.

　　If Ouyang Wudi finds out who’s behind this, he will stop at nothing to get revenge.

　　At this moment, Ye Fan, the instigator of all these things, had just gotten out of the taxi and was walking towards Xue Xiao.
