Hearing Elder Beiming call Wang Tongrui grandmother, everyone present, except Wang Yan, widened their eyes in shock.

Beiming Bufan hurriedly said, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

Ignoring everyone's stares, Elder Beiming fixed his gaze on Wang Tongrui, took two steps forward, and asked again, "Is it really you?"

At this moment, a gentle glow appeared on Wang Tongrui's face. She sighed and said, "Xiaolu, you silly child, of course it's me."

As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Beiming burst into tears, rushing to Wang Tongrui and crying, "Grandmother, it really is you. I thought you died long ago."

Wang Tongrui raised her hand, wiping the tears from the corners of Elder Beiming's eyes, saying, "Silly child, why are you crying? I've always been near Wanghai City, watching over you."

Seeing Wang Tongrui, who appeared to be in her thirties, comforting an old man with a head full of white hair, everyone widened their eyes, unable to believe what they were witnessing.

How could someone as young as Wang Tongrui be Elder Beiming's grandmother?

Only Hu Wei, Qin Tian, Ma Jun, and Beiming Xue, the four demon cultivators, understood what was happening.

Then Elder Beiming glanced at Wang Tongrui and said, "Grandmother, after all these years, you haven't aged at all."

Wang Tongrui smiled faintly and said, "Silly child, I'm over a hundred years old. How could I not have aged? If you want to see my real appearance, this is it."

With that, Wang Tongrui gestured, and Elder Beiming immediately had the other bodyguards and servants leave, closing the door.

In the entire living room, only the three from the Beiming family and the four with Wang Yan remained.

At that moment, Wang Tongrui's body shook, and a surge of demon pattern power circled around her. Then, visibly to the naked eye, Wang Tongrui began to age.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Tongrui transformed into an old crone with a face full of wrinkles and white hair.

Seeing this, Beiming Bufan finally remembered that in the family portrait, his great-great-grandmother looked exactly like this.

But why would someone suddenly change their appearance? Could this be magic?

Wang Tongrui also noticed Elder Beiming's confusion and explained, "Xiaolu, actually, our Beiming family has been a lineage of demon cultivators for generations. But when it came to you and your father, you couldn't awaken the demon patterns, so you two have lived as ordinary people. That's why you never knew this secret. But now, Xue'er has finally been awakened by me, and our Beiming family can continue the legacy."

Elder Beiming, although unaware what demon cultivators were, could speculate that they were an existence unknown and powerful to ordinary people.

At this moment, Beiming Xue understood and said to Wang Tongrui, half joyful, half nervous, "So you are my great-great-grandmother, and Elder Heng is my great-great-grandfather?"

Wang Tongrui turned, stroked Beiming Xue's hair, and said, "Of course, child. You are my direct descendant."

At this moment, Wang Yan came over and said, "Previously, President Beiming swore in the name of his great-great-grandparents. Now that great-great-grandmother is here, this oath can be annulled."

Hearing this, Beiming Bufan understood how Wang Yan planned to invalidate the oath.

It makes sense; since even the people the oath was made to have arrived, the oath can, of course, be annulled.

Even if Beiming Bufan didn't want to annul it, the presence of his great-great-grandmother left him speechless, so he had no objections.

Wang Tongrui said, "Wang Yan's brother is right, what nonsense of an oath. I'm still alive, and they swore by my spirit. Ma Jun, tear that red paper to pieces."

Ma Jun quickly complied, tearing the red paper in his hands into shreds.

Wang Tongrui said to Elder Beiming, "The Xiahou family dared to bully us. Hmph, they must have a death wish. Wang Yan's brother will handle this, and everyone must listen to him."

Even though Elder Beiming heard Wang Tongrui call Wang Yan brother repeatedly, he didn't think much of it and quickly nodded, saying, "Of course, we'll listen to Brother Wang Yan."

But Wang Tongrui glared at Elder Beiming and said, "You dare call Wang Yan brother? Do you know he's Beiming Heng's sworn brother? His rank is much higher than yours."

Hearing this, Elder Beiming was overjoyed and said, "So my great-great-grandfather is also alive."

Wang Tongrui rolled her eyes and said, "That old thing is alive and well indeed."

By now, everyone realized that Beiming Heng was indeed an ancestor of the Beiming family, which gave Wang Yan quite the senior position.

However, Beiming Xue hesitated and said, "But what about me?"

At this, everyone remembered that Beiming Xue was Elder Beiming's granddaughter, yet also Wang Tongrui's disciple. If she married Wang Yan, she should call Beiming Heng her brother.

This gave Beiming Xue three different seniorities, making it confusing even for smart people like Wang Yan to sort out.

After a while, Wang Tongrui waved her hand and said, "Well, I don't care how you call it anymore. Whoever wants to live this long like this old monster, go ahead."

In an instant, the entire living room erupted in laughter.

After the laughter subsided, Wang Yan said, "Everyone, now we should discuss how to deal with the Xiahou Group."

By now, Beiming Bufan could only comply. But after witnessing Wang Tongrui's rejuvenation technique, he had confidence in the Beiming family's future and quickly said, "Then let me explain everything that happened this morning."

...

Half an hour later, everyone had finished listening to Beiming Bufan's recount of the entire process.

After the explanation, Beiming Bufan sighed and said, "Even now, I don't see how the Xiahou Group, with their capital, could complete the acquisition of 51% of Beiming Group shares. That would require tens of billions in liquid assets."

Hearing this, Wang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Mountain Cannon's disappearance is closely related to this."

Qin Tian quickly asked, "Boss, do you mean Xiahou Que kidnapped Mountain Cannon?"

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "No, even with a thousand guts, Xiahou Que wouldn't dare. He must have backing. And the supporter is the mastermind behind the chaos in Wanghai City. So, to defeat the Xiahou Group, we need to draw out the mysterious force behind them. Then we will naturally find Mountain Cannon."
