"Brother Wang, you misunderstood." Seeing Wang Chaoyang's grim expression, Duan Nanye quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.

Wang Chaoyang obviously had a good relationship with Duan Nanye. He asked with a peculiar look, "Is what you're saying true?"

Duan Nanye patted his chest and assured, "I swear on my integrity, I personally heard Uncle Wang speak highly of Brother Ye earlier. Since Wang Ying's disappearance has nothing to do with him, then..."

"I understand." Wang Chaoyang interrupted Duan Nanye, glanced at Ye Guichen twice, and didn't say another word.

As the eldest son of the Wang Family, the responsibilities on Wang Chaoyang's shoulders were naturally immense.

Just as Wang Ruolan had said, the Wang Family was going through a tumultuous period.

Wang Ying was missing, and Wang Xiao was unconscious.

However, they couldn't let this become widely known.

If others found out, it wouldn't just be an internal family issue; some outsiders would definitely pounce on the opportunity.

Under these circumstances, the only solution was to exhaust all efforts to wake Wang Xiao before addressing any other matters.

However, despite Wang Chaoyang secretly inviting Mai Gu, known as the Divine Doctor, Wang Xiao remained unconscious.

Wang Chaoyang was full of despair but still had to suppress the news.

Unexpectedly, in just over half an hour, chaos had already erupted outside, and there were even people lying in a pool of blood.

With a quick look, Wang Chaoyang recognized the deceased instantly.

Moreover, Dragon Teeth men were involved in this.

Today's events had been exposed, and the delicate balance between the Wang Family and Azure Dragon Commerce was likely beyond repair.

Besieged by crises, Wang Chaoyang couldn't care anymore.

After a moment's contemplation, Wang Chaoyang directly ordered, "Lock them all up, don't let a single person leave!"

It wouldn't be long before many people were alarmed by the events here.

By then, it would be impossible to conceal the fact that Wang Xiao was unconscious.

Wang Chaoyang had to arrange everything in the Jinling Royal Mansion before those with vested interests came knocking.

Even the slightest lapse could spell disaster for the Jinling Royal Mansion.

Things moved quickly.

In just a few minutes, under the vigilance of the Divine Crossbow Guards, all the so-called experts were driven from the scene.

But as feared, things went wrong.

Before the scene could be cleaned up, a strange, cold voice rang out, "Big brother, what's going on? Are we hosting a party at our house?"

A middle-aged man, holding a coquettish woman, walked up.

Looking at An Cangsheng's corpse on the ground, the man's eyes widened abruptly. He slapped his chest, his face full of horror, and said, "Heavens, big brother, isn't this the Secretary An? How did he die in our Wang Family? Are you challenging Uncle?"

Wang Chaoyang's face turned livid. He waved his hand, and immediately someone stepped forward to carry An Cangsheng's body away.

Others also began to clean up the scene.

This was, after all, the Wang Family. Although they had temporarily captured those experts from Azure Dragon Commerce, it still posed a hidden danger.

As for Duan Nanye and others, Wang Chaoyang knew that Dragon Teeth was loyal to the Wang Family, so he didn't make things difficult for them. Instead, he discreetly asked Duan Nanye to stay and help for the time being.

However, knowing the personality of the newcomer, Wang Chaoyang didn't bother to respond and coldly said, "Second brother, today has nothing to do with you. I'm warning you, don't go spreading rumors!"

"Oh, big brother, what could I possibly spread?" Wang Renfeng sneered, giving Wang Chaoyang a sidelong glance, "Where's father? I want to see him."

Saying this, he began walking towards the villa.

Wang Chaoyang blocked Wang Renfeng's way, "Father is resting, he will see no one right now."

Wang Chaoyang knew very well what his second brother was like.

Wang Renfeng had achieved nothing from a young age; he was an outright dependent on the family. If it weren't for the support of the Wang Family, Wang Renfeng would have starved to death on the streets due to his character long ago.

Now, Wang Renfeng was over fifty but still indulged himself in dissipation despite having a wife at home.

If Wang Renfeng found out that Wang Xiao was unconscious, there would be an uproar, and all of Jinling would know soon enough.

Because of this, Wang Chaoyang had notified no one except Wang Ruolan when Wang Xiao had an accident.

Wang Renfeng, seeing Wang Chaoyang blocking him, raised an eyebrow and said, "Big brother, what do you mean? Are you father's son, and I'm not? Besides, it's almost dinner time, and I rarely come to see father. You stop me, what kind of older brother are you?"

"Second brother, father is indeed resting. Please, don't go." Wang Ruolan also stepped forward to persuade him.

Wang Renfeng was afraid of Wang Chaoyang, but he wasn't afraid of his sister. Seeing Wang Ruolan also stopping him, he felt even more humiliated and pointed at her nose, shouting, "Wang Ruolan, you old woman, don't think I don't know your little schemes! You think not marrying for life will get you a share of the Wang Family's inheritance? Dream on! Move aside, this is none of your business!"

"Second brother..." Wang Ruolan's face turned pale as her sore spot was hit. She clenched her fists, emitting an indescribable hostility.

Ye Guichen felt it the most clearly, finding Wang Ruolan's identity increasingly mysterious.

Duan Nanye quickly stepped forward to mediate, "We're all family, what are we doing? The urgent matter now is to quickly find Wang Ying. Everything else can wait."

"What? Wang Ying is lost?" Wang Renfeng shrieked, grabbing Duan Nanye by the collar, "Duan! What happened? Xiao Ying is in trouble? Damn it, I need to tell father immediately, he's the one who cares the most about Xiao Ying!"

With that, he pulled the coquettish woman beside him and tried to rush inside.

"Stop!" Wang Chaoyang barked, his face darkening: "Wang Renfeng, I said father is resting, so he's resting! No one can see him without my permission!"

Under the imposing aura, Wang Renfeng froze, not daring to take another step forward.

The woman beside him sneered, "Renfeng, you're both his son, why do I feel like you're not his biological one?"

Her words, spoken carelessly, hit home hard.

Encouraged by the woman, Wang Renfeng's anger flared up, but before he could act, Wang Chaoyang grabbed the woman's neck, "This is the Wang Family, not a place for just any woman to spout nonsense!"

With a squeeze...

Snap!

He crushed her neck on the spot.

The woman didn't even have time to struggle.

Wang Renfeng shivered in fear, "Wang Chaoyang, y-you... you're too much..."

He turned to leave.

Wang Chaoyang ordered, "Take Second Master to a resting place; he is not to leave for now."

Then, he glanced at Ye Guichen, "Kid, even though Brother Duan spoke up for you, because of the severity of the matter, you still have to stay here for the time being."

Without waiting for a reply, he turned to head back to the villa.

Ye Guichen called out, "If you don't save him now, Old Wang will be a goner!"
