Chapter 997: The Fu Family

Lin Yin could only continue, seeing that Gong Han didn’t say anything. “Be it the Fu family or the Huo family, they’re not easy to get along with. Are you sure you can get what you want by asking a tiger for its skin? I suspect that the Huo family and the Fu family are targeting the eight great families. They won’t let you off now that you know too much.”
Gong Han fell silent. She naturally knew about this matter, but in the end, she still smiled bleakly. “I don’t mind as long as I can protect my brother and parents.”
“The Gong Family was also one of the eight great families back then. Are you sure they will keep their promise and not touch the Gong Family?” Lin Yin stared at Gong Han and asked.
“But my parents didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the battle back then. At most, I’ll make my parents leave the Gong family! We don’t have a share in the enjoyment. Why should the Gong family drag us along when they suffer? I believe that the Fu family won’t do that!” Gong Han said anxiously.
Lin Yin looked at the excited Gong Han and smiled coldly. “It’s indeed the Fu family!”
Gong Han was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had been exposed. Her expression turned cold and her tone was stiff. “You already know what you want to know. I hope you won’t disturb my Gong Ze in the future.”
Lin Yin knew that Gong Han didn’t want Gong Ze to offend the Fu family because of their relationship.
She did not know if the Mu family could defeat the Fu family, but the Gong family definitely could not defeat them now.
Lin Yin sneered. “Sister Gong Han, I didn’t expect you to be so naive.”
Gong Han ignored Lin Yin and left the ward.
Yue Xi was investigated, and the Yue Family was completely destroyed.
As for the Yue brothers, Lin Yin had heard some rumors.
Those people must have deliberately humiliated the Yue brothers and specially used their real names as they received clients. They were humiliated and even their scandals and photos had spread to the capital.
The eight aristocratic families in the capital had lost the Yue family, but the Fu family had replaced them.
The death of Gong Luo’s family of three agitated Old Master Gong so much that he was sent to the hospital. Now, the Gong family had fallen into Gong Ze’s hands.
However, this accident still caused the Gong family to face a divisive situation. There was continuous internal strife, and many businesses required Gong Ze to clean up the mess.
Gong Han disappeared after that day. No one knew where she went.
Just as Lin Yin had expected, Huo Ge was not charged with shooting the Gong family members at all. He was still at large.
After Wei Chuan’s accident, the conflict between the third and second branches had also moved from the dark to the open.
Lin Yin just didn’t expect Feng Yu to be so close to Wei Wei. During lunch, she even specially asked Su Su about her situation.
Su Su only shook her head and said, “I’m not too sure either. Ever since her family pa.s.sed away, I haven’t seen her for a few months. I don’t know what she’s thinking, but Wei Wei doesn’t seem to be a good person. I’m just afraid that she’ll be played and abandoned.”
Lin Yin frowned. She had reminded Feng Yu that it was impossible for her to be with Wei Wei with her personality.
Is love really blind?
“Even Wei Ji rarely appears nowadays. Sigh, thinking about how the four of us could still travel together in the past, only the two of us are left now,” Su Su said listlessly as she bit into the meat.
Lin Yin nodded. That seemed to be the case.
Lin Yin went home as soon as the afternoon cla.s.s ended.
It would be Mu Cheng’s birthday the next day. Sun Yun wanted Mu Cheng to return to the Mu family’s old residence to celebrate, so Lin Yin planned to go with the Mu family tomorrow.
The atmosphere of the Mu family’s dinner was very good, but it was inevitable that they would mention the changes in the capital at the dinner table.
Mu Heng looked at Lin Yin worriedly and said, “Yinyin, you have to get someone to pay attention too. During this period of time, I can clearly feel that the capital is not peaceful.”
Lin Yin nodded and replied, “You too. Previously, I asked you to be wary of the Fu and Huo families. Don’t let your guard down.”
The family expressed their concern for each other before Ye Wen sighed and said, “The Wei family is in a mess now. Your Aunt Ning Sheng came to look for me two days ago and said that she wanted me to help. The second branch is being suppressed by the third branch now.”
Ye Wen sighed and said, “However, the next day, Old Master Wei looked for your grandfather and said that it’s the Wei family’s family matter. It’s better for outsiders not to interfere. Your grandfather’s words were also brought to your father and me.”
Naturally, Lin Yin had heard of these things. However, she asked in confusion, “Is Grandpa Wei promoting the third branch?”
Otherwise, Lin Yin could not figure out why Wei Ming would warn Ye Wen not to interfere and help the second branch.
Ye Wen shook her head. “I’m not sure now.”
Lin Yin thought of Wei Ji, whom she rarely saw during this period of time, and couldn’t help but worry. She was afraid that something might happen to Wei Ji in this power struggle.
